  Beauty. The old idiom by Margaret Wolfe Hungerford that says, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is one of the few quotes I've heard that I find to be completely true. Why? Well, if you had to wake up beside me every morning and see the hideous creature eight hours of sleep turns me into, you might wonder how it is my husband doesn't run away screaming. I look a little bit like a mental patient that's been subjected to electro-shock one to many times. But, I was lucky enough to marry someone who can see through the morning hair and swollen face and love me enough to wake up and look at it again, and again and…again. Women go through the gauntlet getting ready to be seen in public. There's...

Russians make fun of Americans because they smile all the time. Americans flash a smile for strangers with all thirty-two teeth showing. Russians do not overuse smiling as a way to meet the outside world. Daily life in Russia is difficult. Even small errands require much more effort than similar chores in the west. There is little comfort and happiness. That may be why they don't smile very much in public there isn't much to smile about. You rarely see a smiling face in public in Russia. Russians use an unsmiling face as a barrier between themselves and an outside world. They think that smiling at everyone makes them look like a heavily sedated mental patient. This insider / outsider Russian view...

James Bond and Maxwell Smart eat your heart out. There’s nothing quite like this super cool mobile phone wrist watch. The watch phone is pretty cool but unless you’ve got yourself previously sorted out with a bluetooth headset and SD memory card they’re not that practical to use directly out of the box. That is unless you don't want to watch videos on phone or hold your arm up to your ear to hear the mobile watch phone like some kind of escaped mental patient listening for voices. And if you're looking to start a mobile phone business then there's always the difficulty of finding a strong seller. Wrist phones are great at getting attention but are not bought quite as often as a regular...

In the late-1980s, a one-minute segment on The Tracy Ullman Show (since long forgotten, except in trivia questions) morphed into its own series. That series was The Simpsons, and it became an anchor for the then-burgeoning FOX network. With a wildly original cast of oddball characters, The Simpsons instantly struck a chord with audiences, becoming the longest running prime time show among all genres, not just the animation genre. Loved by audiences from age 2 to 102, the show is not only hilarious, but in all likelihood, one of the best satires of modern day American life. The Simpsons (Season 3) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere in which Homer?s co-workers have...

We've all seen certain movies that we don't mind watching over again, and each time we see them they remind us exactly why we liked them in the first place. Well, Halloween is that kind of movie. Halloween is a story about a murderous-escaped mental patient, named Michael Myers, who returns to his fictitious hometown of Haddonfield, Ill. on Halloween in order to continue a homicidal predilection discovered by his parents when he was six years old, after he killed his older sister. Made in 1978, Halloween still remains one of the best horror movies ever made. Here are just a few reasons why. Halloween: The night he came home. The first thing I must say was John Carpenter's and Debra Hill's decision...

--> I had an interesting experience last week...if you have spoken to me in the past few weeks, you'll know that I've sounded like I've had a permanent case of laryngitis. What I actually had was a cyst on my throat. It's like a big blister and the only way to get rid of it was to cut it out. So if I wanted to speak clearly again, I had no choice than to go ahead and have microsurgery. Notice I said micro, sounds much better than surgery or operation. In fact, the whole process was (thank goodness) totally painless, even afterwards. All I had to do was rest my voice and not speak for 48 hours! I'll also be undertaking voice lessons to ensure I protect this valuable instrument. Now to the men reading...

What actually is art? Give me ten people and I'll give you ten different definitions of the word. What it means to you is as unique to you as your fingerprints. But who's to say what qualifies as art, or fine art? What distinguishes the art of Jean Michel Basquiat from Rembrandt van Rijn? Besides the time differences, each artist's art have been met with different types of criticism. Was one art, and the other just crummy art? Who's to say? What we can say though is there is an unmistakable mainstream art circuit with art dealers and galleries, critics and fine artists with or without their MFA's. Sometimes this crowd can be quite pretentious and judges art in its own way, usually following the...

How do we deal with our seriously distressed children and adolescents? Adolescents are in a period of seeking autonomy and self-determination. These qualities can aid them in becoming agents of active transformation in their own lives. For one to recover from distress they are in need of being able to regain hope and to have an effective exercise of their free will. (Breggin, 1996). Adolescents based on their experiences formulate thoughts and feelings and begin to create values and meanings for themselves. Those adolescents who are suffering from serious emotional distress have become lost on this path to finding meaning in their lives. Once this occurs, they begin to develop anguish and self...

Recently I happen to watch newly released movie in Bollywood "Karthik Calling Karthik". Then soon after the climax, I decided to write on the sides of its storyline. This movie has superb script and screenplay, as pretty evident from the name, movie centers around a guy Karthik, again Farhan Akhtar has justified the legacy he carries by his composed acting. The start of the movie stands to be very light and in fact to some extent by seeing the promos, it can even be guessed but believe me this is not all. In starting the movie has regular stuff which hardly any Bollywood movie misses out, like boy secretly loving a girl but unable to express his feelings, girl having an affair with someone etc. But...

With the dismal dawning of the Age of Obamacare, the multiple horrors of the UK's version of health care presage what lies ahead in our medical and custodial lives. The United Kingdom's National Health Service, the NHS, has been in place for some 62 years now; its birth and implementation were not merely coincidental with the decline of Great Britain as one of the world's great powers. It's becoming tedious writing about the NHS and its regularly-occurring tales of malpractice and mispractice, long wait times for critical care, the monumental expense, its disorganization, etc. However, with the narrow passage last month of Obama's legacy bill and with the possibility of repealing that legacy after...

Shutter Island is a 2010 psychological thriller film directed by Martin and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The film is based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane. Production started in March 2008. Shutter Island was originally slated to be released on October 2, 2009, but Paramount pushed the release date to February 19, 2010. Paramount head executive Brad Grey blamed the recent economic downturn as the main decision behind the delayed release date. In 1954, two U.S. marshals Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) investigate the disappearance of a patient from a hospital for the criminally insane on an island in Massachusetts. They run into trouble when they...

Similar to psychiatric diagnoses, individuals who do not understand my conceptions of the need for a paradigm shift in the field of mental health are prone to ascribe labels. The common label I have received is to be part of 'anti-psychiatry'. First, similar to Laing, I do not deny the value of aiding individuals undergoing mental distress, rather I disagree with the means to carry this out and am opposed to means that would be oppressive, forced, coercive, or do not respect the autonomy and dignity of the individual. It is my view that merely seeing the emotional world of individuals as chemical accidents rather than examining experience is a misguided and mistaken approach. Thus, I can view...

There are lots of twist endings out there in Hollywood, but for those who have seen the recent Scorsese picture Shutter Island, this film puts on more than the usual air of mystery. Enough mystery that hundreds of web pages have been dedicated to the debate around what actually happened.

If you have not seen the film, take this as your official 'spoiler alert,' since the movie's ending will definitely be discussed! As we meet our protagonist, a US Marshall played by Leonardo DiCaprio, he is feeling sick and taking a ferry out to Shutter...

Who can become complex litigation lawyer? A complex litigation lawyer is an attorney with skills and expertise to litigate more complex cases. It has been often observed that complex cases involve very difficult or completely new legal issues with many parties involved. These cases generally involve an abundance of evidence and sometimes have a highly technical subject. A good example of complex litigation is asbestos litigation which require many people and medical as well as scientific evidence to prove a case. A complex litigation advocate might pursue a particular class of action claim which is large as well as complex. Such cases are very detailed and require a much more time than the average...

In writing this article I grappled with several questions and asked myself: What is my motive for writing an article about motivation? What is it I want my readers to realize about Motivation? and what behavior do I want them to exhibit after they read this article pertaining to Motivation? So with those and several other questions in mind, I begin my research. Motivation is basically our human needs, reasons, and or desires that determines our behavior. In essence, motivation is the cause or reason that influence our actions or human behavior. It is the reason we act the way we do. Two of our basic desires are to minimize or avoid pain and maximum pleasure. Subsequently, we may have the desire to...

I had someone call me the other day wanting to let me know about how they eventually found the right way to get their anxiety problem dealt with - once and for all. He wanted me to share his story as an example to others and for the sake of privacy, we'll call him Andy. The story starts when Andy had been 'under a cloud' as he put it for about 9 years - ever since he was dismissed from the navy for bad conduct. Unable to keep a job for long due to bad attendance or lack of concentration and poor results - he wandered from job to job. With each change he realised that the job was getting lower in status and the pay check was getting smaller. When he did go to see a doctor he was diagnosed with...

Being a teenager is probably the happiest phase in ones life but it is also the phase when a person goes through feelings of infatuation, confusion, pressure, and wrong decisions. A typical teenager would feel the pressures brought about by changes in his or her body during puberty, peer pressure, and questions about love, identity, and where they belong. Also, this is usually the time when children begin to develop conflicts with their parents as they begin to assert their independence. Here’s the common symptoms for depression teens go through and subsequently effective treatments. Common symptoms of depression teens include...

New research in depression causes found out that supplements could help to stop this disease in depressed people that might have problems metabolizing the B vitamin folate. According to Dr. Ingvar Bjelland of the University of Bergen, vitamins are important, not only for the physical health, but for the mental health as well. The researcher explains that folate might play an important role in depression, as the body may need the B vitamin in order to build substances in the brain because a lack of these substances may cause different mental disorders, including depression. Depression arises more commonly in people who has high levels of the amino acid homocysteine in their blood and in those who...

What you eat can go to your head. That's not a new theory. Fish oil has been thought to be "brain food" for centuries. But now there's lots of scientific proof to back it up.

So scientists have been searching for more natural alternatives to help people with the increasing incidence of depression that affect millions.

This means that omega 3 fish oil can help you to feel both happier with your life the way it is now and...

What is healing? Healing is more than just about maintaining a positive state of physical wellness. Healing encompasses the four major forces that comprise our existence: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. If one or more of these areas is not functioning optimally, then we are in need of healing to bring those forces back into balance. We can be physically healthy but if our relationships with others are rife with conflict, we are in need of healing. Conversely, we can be physically compromised in some way, but if we have accepted that state and embraced a new way of living, we can consider ourselves to be healing because we are not rejecting what is physically not "working" but rather...

Another New Year is here--although, marking time is an ego need--unlike the spiritual mind, the ego mind needs these reference points. Given the ego's paradigm, millions of people will make New Year's resolutions as a declaration of commitment to themselves to make changes in their lives. Have you wondered how effective resolutions are? Do you achieve your New Year's resolutions? If you achieve your New Year's resolutions you are in the minority. Surveys reveal that less than one percent of New Year's resolutions are achieved. It is merely a ritual people have followed for decades. The question is, "Do you want to make changes in your life?" Making a resolution to accomplish something without a plan...

If you're anything like me you often wish you could reach for brain supplements. I mean, it's no fun to be faced with a pile of work and feel like your brain is in the "off" position. You get to a point where coffee doesn't always "turn your brain" on and then what do you do? I started doing research about brain functioning and learned some interesting facts.

ohn's wort has emerged recently as an herb that is known to assist the nervous system. Quite a few naturopathic physicians rank kava kava, valerian, St. John’s wort, passionflower, and hops as the most effective herbs for treating insomnia. A study that took place in 1994 and was published in the Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology proved that St. John’s wort extracts increased deep sleep during the total sleeping period of the patients. This study also makes an interesting connection between sleep and depression. It was found that many standard antidepressants and MAO inhibitors used to treat those people who suffer from depression cause a decrease in deep sleep. St. John...

Panic serves a purpose as the body’s physiological system of self-protection during a threatening, stressful or dangerous situation. For some people this natural alarm system becomes unbalanced through mental disorders such as post-traumatic stress (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), or a general phobia. In those cases, the patient’s life may become significantly restricted by their fears and both quality of life and ability to maintain relationships can be heavily affected. Exposure therapy, an integral part of cognitive behavioral therapy, is a treatment technique that is utilized to reduce fear and anxiety responses resulting from phobias or anxiety disorders. Exposure therapy is...
