7 Foods That May Contribute to Your Depression
Burger King isn’t going to make you suicidal, at least I don’t think so. And funnel cakes at the beach might not make you bawl right there on the boardwalk.
But too much of some of this stuff and you may become unlikeable, to yourself and to everyone around you. A mound of research shows that what we consume goes right to our limbic systems, the emotional headquarters of our body.
If we feed it crap, we will feel like crap. If we treat it like the Cadillac we borrowed for the night, it will return the kindness.
Here are seven foods to try to avoid.
1. Refined sugar
A Milky Way sure does taste good going down and ca...

Just, wow, I don't know.
I got an email from the one person in Chicago I thought I had made friends with - I was actually friends with her outside of my husband, even though it was my husband's friend's girlfriend. I knew there was a very good chance they would breakup, but why couldn't we be friends? Why would that matter?So I haven't kept in touch with her since I cancelled on her the night after the Ravinia when I was in bed from my massive hangover - the four of us were going to do something together and I couldn't. I was so sick. It took me two days to get over that! Then the Lamictal withdrawals, I've been ...

I'm so tired...
Once again, I'm left with a big question mark about what is wrong with me. I am so very tired, I can go to bed and sleep for hours during the day - to the point where I wake up during a dream, and that is so NOT LIKE ME. Even after my surgery, I would get tired and would WANT to go to sleep, but could not. I would think it would be good for me, go to bed and just lay there, not able to sleep.But since I ran out of Lamictal for 3-4 days, however long it was and started back again, then went out and drank too much that I was vomiting and had a hangover until 5pm the next day, then slept the whole NEXT day, ...

Better Sexual Relations
Being clean and sober, or nearly sober increases sexual appeal, drive and ability.
Having a few drinks of alcohol with a partner or potential partner is usually a wonderful experience. It lowers inhibitions, raises expectations and intensifies touch and feel enjoyment. Alcohol often enhances feelings of connectedness with others. It can also improve sexual attractiveness, desire, ability and response.
But people who drink heavily and alcoholics often have bad or ordinary experiences. Not to start with, but more and more so as drinking increases. Over time, and in binges, excessive alcohol causes damage to the body and some...

I'm Not 20 Anymore!
We went to this REALLY gorgeous place last Friday night to see a concert. It was Mark and I with two other couples and we sat on the lawn, drinking wine, beer, there was cheese, not sure what else. I hadn't had dinner and didn't bring food, just 3 bottles of wine and beer for everyone, but they had all thought to bring their own alcohol as well which is very important in this story.I was having a LOT of fun, and I believe they were too. I have done things with these people before, they are not strangers, and as I was drinking wine, my inhibitions started going down. Mark said I didn't say any...

End Prohibition-Era Alcohol Regulations
Ilya Shapiro
The three-tiered system of beer distribution that many states adopted to curb breweries’ influence on consumers is an unfortunate hangover from the end of Prohibition. In states like Pennsylvania, for example, most breweries must sell their beer to a wholesaler, which then sells the beer to a retailer where then it can finally be sold to the consumer. Not only does this scheme add artificial costs to retail beer, the legal mandate doesn’t apply to in-state breweries and so this expensive law is also a classic case of crony capitalism.
The Supreme Court struck down this sort of in-state favoritism in t...

Is bear bile good for skin?
According to this study, it turns out that this ingredient is good for skin conditions like psoriasis (at least when taken orally.) In this day and age of animal-rights it would be crazy to think that any company would use bear bile as an ingredient, but one never knows.
In fact perhaps we should launch an investigation into the ingredients used in the Bare Escentuals line!

Too Softhearted For My Own Good
Grey Beard just caught me in his firm and wily grasp. I was leaving my parent’s house after seeing my niece and nephew and he was walking down the road behind the Piggly Wiggly in his Gilligan’s hat. He had just left his dilapidated house. A mile from my parent’s house. He waved and hooted and hollered as he saw me. I stopped and let him catch up to me. He came scuffling up to the car. “What’s up, man?” I asked as he got in. I noticed his beard is getting so bushy you could barely see his face. “Can you take me across the river to the Dollar General?” he asked without pleasantries. “H...

Hangover III Star Jamie Chung Shares Her Upper-Body Builder
Who out there hasn't yet caught a glimpse of Hangover III star Jamie Chung rocking a fantastically form-fitting dress on the red carpet? (If you haven't, here she is! Damn, girl.) Talk about jealous -- if we had a body that fit, we'd be sure to let the world know! "It's that combination of being super slender yet strong-looking," says the actress's boxing coach, Mysti Friedman. "She's so petite, but she looks powerful because she works really hard."

An investment banker asks a question
This is a true story. An investment banker friend, very astute as to the issues surrounding private equity investments but not so familiar with health care, was confused. He laid out the scenario as he saw it and then asked me the final question.He said: You run a private equity firm and you are awash in cash, looking to create a portfolio of interesting investments that will satisfy your funders. You see that the US government has passed the health reform act, assuring insurance coverage to a large percentage of the population. You wonder if you can apply private equity principles to this sector.&n...

Six ways Big Pharma manipulates consumers - Salon
This article originally appeared on AlterNet.
The blockbuster pill profit party is over for Big Pharma. Bestselling pills like Lipitor, Seroquel, Zyprexa, Singular and Concerta have gone off patent and sites which their ads sustained are withering on the vine. WebMD, for example, the voice of Pharma on the Web, with a former Pfizer exec serving as CEO, announced it would cut 250 positions in December.
But don’t worry, Wall Street. Pharma isn’t going to deliver disappointing earnings just because it has little or no new drugs coming online and has failed at the very reason for its existence. Here are six new Pharma ma...

Spuggies, skelfs and skives: 10 years in Scotland
Ten years ago today my sister and and I arrived in Edinburgh. My first week was spent whinging about the £1 = $2.60 exchange rate*, drooling over men in kilts on Princes Street (sadly not a regular occurrence; just rugby fans), grumbling about the snoring dude in the youth hostel, searching for work and accommodation, swooning at the sun setting over the Castle, and generally believing I could control the shape of my two-year stay through meticulous planning and to do lists.
I’d hoped to write some profound reflections on this unexpectedly long Scotland stay but looking back through my 2003 mega Book of Lists I f...
