We can't imagine this will come as too big of a surprise: Guess which state is the least stressed?
Yep. Hawaii.
Gallup quizzed people across the nation daily last year for its Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, asking whether they'd felt stress "a lot of the day yesterday." The data, just released this week, show that for 2012, Hawaiians were least likely to report having felt stress: Just 32.1 percent said yes, compared with 40.6 percent of Americans overall. Hawaiians were also the least stressed in 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008, when Gallup first started asking.

Hawaiians were also the most likely to have experienced enjoyment "a lot of the day yesterday": 89.7 percent of them said they had, compared with 84.9 percent of Americans overall.
Guess living in paradise will do that to you.

One surprise does emerge from the survey, though. As you'd expect, states that experienced the least stress also reported the most enjoyment, and states that were more stressed reported feeling less enjoyment ...
Except in Utah. Utah scored in the top five states for both stress and enjoyment. Gallup doesn't quite know what to make of that, other than that it suggests "a complex relationship between stress and other emotions." (What do you think explains this anomaly? Tell us in the comments.)
Here are the five most stressed-out states, as measured by the proportion of people who reported feeling stress "a lot of the day yesterday":
West Virginia, 47.1 percent
Rhode Island, 46.3 percent
Kentucky, 44.8 percent
Utah, 44.6 percent
Massachusetts, 43.4 percent
The five least stressed-out states:
Hawaii, 32.1 percent
Louisiana, 37.6 percent
Mississippi, 37.9 percent
Iowa, 38.1 percent
Wyoming, 38.6 percent
The five states that experienced the most enjoyment:
Hawaii, 89.7 percent
Wyoming, 88.8 percent
Utah, 88.7 percent
North Dakota, 87.9 percent
Idaho, 87.3 percent
The five states that experienced the least enjoyment:
Rhode Island, 80.4 percent
Kentucky, 81.3 percent
New Jersey, 82.0 percent
New York, 82.1 percent
West Virginia, 82.7 percent

Know The TSA Rules
3-1-1 Kits - Bags That Meet Carry On RulesCheck the TSA Website before you pack and leave for your flight. Knowing the procedures in advance will save you time and headaches. The TSA website has all of the information you need to get through security faster including lists of prohibited items, rules for carrying on liquids, tips for traveling with children, and information for travelers with special needs. Some of these guidelines include:
The 3-1-1 Rule: 3-1-1 is the name for the rule about carrying liquids on board airplanes. The rule covers ANY liquids including toiletries, drinks, and food. The only exceptions are medications, breast milk, baby formula, juice, and other liquids necessary for travelers with children and travelers with medical conditions and in such cases, the items must be declared for inspection at the checkpoint. The 3-1-1 rule states that you can carry 3 ounce or smaller containers of liquid or gel in a 1 quarter-size clear plastic zip-top bag, and only 1 bag per traveler. The bag must be placed in the security bin (not packed in your carry-on luggage. See our collection of 3-1-1 Kits that meet these TSA guidelines. Many toiletries these days come in travel sizes that meet the 3 oz. requirements. Want to fill your own containers? Lewis N. Clark has a line of containers called GoToobs that are designed just for that purpose.
Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bags: For business travelers and other passengers who carry their computers on board planes, the rules state that you must remove the laptop from the bag and place in security bins separately. The only exception is when a checkpoint friendly laptop bag is used. Not all laptop bags are checkpoint friendly so make sure your bag meets these guidelines (even if the company claims it is checkpoint friendly): 1) bag has a designated laptop-only section 2) The laptop-only section unfolds completely to lie flat on the X-ray belt 3) There are no metal snaps, zippers, or buckles on top, inside, or underneath the laptop-only section 4) No pockets on the inside or outside of the laptop only section 5) Nothing packing in the laptop-only section other than the computer itself.

You are welcome to this great forum Jmigwi. And to all the new members, you are welcome. I met a DV guy at IOM who had never heard of the forum. He is from Kenya. He is an Engineer. His interview is also in May.
True many DV selectees dont know about this not so hidden treasure, if you use internet and intrested in googling info, chances are that you will end up here. Thats why the number of guests is high.
Ash if u dont mind pliz tell me about which jabs you had earlier taken prior to IOM visit.
Thanks, Solwach. I will wait for the documents. It would be less wise to have them reposted.

Psalm 46:1-3:
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.”
Prayer Points
1.This week, my God shall ARISE and be my REFUGE and VERY PRESENT HELP in every trouble and problems which I am going through in Jesus name.
2.This week, I shall arise and by the power in the blood of Jesus, I silence every roaring waters threatening my favour and breakthroughs! in the name of Jesus.
3.This week, I receive the armor of light and utterly destroy the bow, the spear and the chariot of darkness assigned against me and my family!!! in the name of Jesus.
4.I make no provision for the flesh, therefore, anything hiding under my flesh in order to derail my breakthrough this week: be flushed by fire and die! in Jesus name.
5.You the pregnancy of fear waiting to be born in this week of my breakthroughs, hear the voice violent faith: wither by fire!!! in the name of Jesus.
6.Mountain of impossibility mocking my destiny, your time is up: receive tribulation, expire and catch fire! in the name of Jesus.
Rivers of joy and gladness flowing round the throne of God, flow down unstoppably like a contagious stream into my life this week and wash away all my sorrows and burdens in Jesus name.
6.Rivers of holiness flowing round the tabernacle of the Most High, flow down into my life this week, carry me from the obscured prison of sin, and establish me as holy city set upon a shinning hill, in the name of Jesus.
7.I release prophetic fire and declare that this shall be my week of divine help, and that help shall come right early by fire in the name of Jesus.
All the Best
