I had a headache this morning. I attribute this to a lack of caffeine. According to the National Headache Foundation:
- Technically, a person needs to use caffeine every day and reach a monthly total of at least 15
grams before they will experience caffeine withdrawal headache. - Withdrawal symptoms occur when people consume 500 mg (about 5 cups of coffee) or more daily, but they have been reported after long-term, daily intake of 100 mg or less per day.
I believe I fall into the latter category.
So I made myself a large cup of coffee using a French Coffee Press. I have not done this very often, but I will be using it much more often in the future. The coffee has a bolder flavor and richer texture than brewed coffee. For more information on this method of enjoying java see this site.

When I couldn’t get my cholesterol down, I found an article that said French press coffee could be responsible. I stopped using the press and got my cholesterol down more than 20%.
Great flavor, perhaps at a price. Stay active while you’re using the press — I mean, take up seriousl weekly exercise.

I want to inform you about Carlo Parlanti’s case. He’s an Italian citizen locked up in a California’s jail accused of rape and sentenced for nine years of detention.
His trial was a farce. None of the evidence against him was ever supported by a sort of assessment.
Carlo is locked up in Avenal prison since 2005.
Carlo is suffering, He’s ill: Hepatitis C, Piorrea, Asthma, He’s keeping to lose weight cause of his awful physical conditions. His right of being cured It’s not honored.
Italian Government use to act with Carlo like Ponzio Pilato did with Jesus Christ. Italian Government and most of all Italian associations, vip politicians, seems to be deaf to all the pleas maiden by Ms. Katia Anedda, Carlo’s girlfriend.
A big and afwul indifference’s wall around Carlo’s life.
Carlo is now locked up in the Main Jail of Ventura, waiting for the risentencing now fixed on October, 25th. It’s was previous fixed on October 1st: it was moved because of Carlo’s risentencing lawyer: He need to study Carlo’s Case. This lawyer is paid by our Los Angeles’ embassy only for risentencing. On October 1st the Judge ordered Carlo to come back in Avenal, but today, Carlo is still in Ventura, without his medicines for asthma.
We’re trying in all the way We know to help him and ripple the whole world with his case. But there’s no way: nobody seems to be supportive with Carlo, except of us, normal people who don’t have the power to force Governments to do their work. We’re are keep on trying, but it’s hard. Maybe for Italy Carlo is not cool, He’s not an useful medium of exchange with any other Italia’s need.
There are some private enterprises: Carlo’s Site, Secondo Protocollo, Carlo Free, Chit’s Blog, Opinionista opinabile, who are trying to do something for Carlo. But most of all, there are mainly people, common people, who’s trying to break this afwul indifference’s wall. There are Katia, Valentina, Claudio , Franco, Cristina M., Stefy, Marie, Cristina, Francesco, Raffaella , Daniela and many other persons who do their best to help Carlo with their signature’s on the international petition, a post on their blog, sometimes with a simple link.
We’re all fighting to give back Carlo his life, a fair trial, his family.
We’re only common people who’s giving their pleas to you. You’re our last hope.
