Is It Withdrawal Symptoms or a Depression Relapse
Four years ago, a good friend of mine put her 10-year-old son on Prozac (fluoxetine). He had always suffered from anxiety and anger outbursts, but at age 9, his behavior turned violent, and his ruminations were keeping him up at night. My friend and her husband went to a variety of child psychologists, but the cognitive behavioral therapy wasn’t enough. Finally, they got a referral to a psychiatrist, who diagnosed the boy with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The doctor prescribed both Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Prozac.
The bo...

How to Know if Summer Love Can Last
Summertime means barbecues, lazy pool days, vacations, and sometimes summer love. The summer season can bring less stress, relaxed vibes, carefree attitudes and an opportunity to escape from our typical routines. That breezy attitude helps us let our guard down. And that makes it easier to meet someone who could become a more serious love interest.
Many of those summer loves will end as the season does. But perhaps you think you have made a real love connection with a summer love and want to continue being together into the fall. How will you know if your summer fling could last another season? There are signs to look for ...

Overpriced addictive sludge, or coffee to you and me
The truth about coffee…also comes in pumpkin flavour if you’d prefer that over the wet cigar and boiled asphalt flavour that occurs naturally…you’ll pay anything and let anyone treat you how they like as long as they’re handing you a cup of unregulated psychoactive drug with your misspelled name scrawled on the side.
However, “I understand that you wouldn’t want to associate that chemical reward with the knowledge that people are severely underpaid to grow and harvest these bitter drug-laden seeds. So, I’d like to say some words that will make you feel better: Organic, Cooper...

Unity Farm Journal - Third Week of May 2016
Wedding plans have occupied much of this week at Unity Farm, ensuring that my daughter’s marriage weekend has perfect logistics. A wedding on a farm is more challenging than you think - how do you prevent flying guinea fowl from leaving “gifts” on the guests? Should the pigs be moved to minimimze squealing during the ceremony? How do you prevent chickens from eating the flowers? We’ll be serving Unity Farm foods and beverages, accompanied by vegan/vegetarian catering. The family begins arriving tonight.This week, another goose, Hermes, was born. Our weathe...

I'm of two minds
About the likely Republican nominee for president. In fact, ovewhelmingly likely. It's horrific and appalling that such a morally monstrous ignoramus could be on the verge of claiming leadership of one of our two major political parties. On the other hand, the people who are cheering for him and voting for him already existed, and they were already the constituency of that party. Republican politicians just kept the racism, mindless militarism, xenophobia and blood curdling threats of violence against all enemies real and imagined more obtusely stated. So you could argue that it's salutary, even essential, to expose the r...

The Koreas Should Talk, and Talk Some More
The two Koreas recently chatted at Panmunjun, the truce village within the Demilitarized Zone. They reached an agreement - to talk some more, starting on Friday.
That’s the way it usually is. When there’s a specific issue that must be resolved, real results sometimes are reached. But promises of future talks usually fall short.
Will this time be any different? The two sides scheduled talks with vice ministers for December.
Even if the discussions actually occur, the agenda remains unclear. The joint statement pointed to “issues that will improve relations between the South and the North.”
But those issues, of which...

"A sour cream pumpkin pie photographed in the @nytimes studio in 1958. The @nytimes printed the recipe for the #pie alongside a wide-ranging look at the etymology of the word "pumpkin." To wit: " 'Pumpkin head' was … a slang term applied to early New Englanders because of their round haircuts. And the phrase, 'Some pumpkins,' is still used in reference to Very Important People, regardless of their haircuts, and very important matters in general." #veryimportant #themoreyouknow #throwbackthanksgiving #tbt #🍴" By nytimes on Instagram.

"The countdown is on. As all cooks know, #Thanksgiving is an adventure and a challenge: how to come up with fresh ideas that keep the dish on the right side of tradition? @nytfood looked to the work of Julia Child for inspiration. The recipe for Aunt Helen's Fluffy Pumpkin #Pie, pictured here, was published in Parade in November 1982, when Julia was writing a recipe column for the magazine. Her addition of molasses, extra spices and especially bourbon breathe new life into the filling. To find Aunt Helen's recipe, visit the link in our profile.
