Car tyres have rain treads. Shoes have rain treads. So, why don’t animals have rain treads? Here evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi – and author of the new book having nothing whatever to do with rain treads, Harnessed: How Language and Music Mimicked Nature and Transformed Ape to Man – describes his team's new research suggesting that we do have rain treads. They are our pruney fingers. Better than what’s on our shoes and tyres, they may allow us to build better treads in the future. Look out Pirelli, Goodyear and Firestone, pruney tyres are on the way!

It’s change. Every season has an end. And with any end comes fear, uncertainty and sometimes sadness. Even if ends bring new beginnings like a marriage, a baby or a new career, the loss of what we know can feel earth shattering. Instead of embracing change, we grasp on, holding desperately to what was instead of what will be. Does that sound like you? How are you continuing to do things that don’t serve you or your new life out of fear of change? Maybe you need to take the time to grieve for your old self and your old life so that you can embrace your new one. It’s something important to contemplate this week as we get closer to summer. It also fits with one of our posts on transitions. Have a great week and enjoy! Seven Rules of Mindful Eating ...

We haven’t seen any t-shirts or heard any #1 hits about oil – and if we did, we’d hope the proceeds would be going to those people and wildlife affected by the spill. That’s so gre–wait, what? Spirit Air is running ads that are exploiting the oil spill – and sexist to boot? Spirit Air’s new campaign focuses on scantily-clad women lounging on beaches, all lubed up and enjoying the sun. The tagline reads, “Check out the oil on our beaches.” So tasteless. Did anyone at the ad agency perhaps think it was too soon, insensitive, or inappropriate to exploit a disaster that killed people, wildlife, and ruined a huge swath of the Gulf of Mexico – and is just getting ...

Could this change in perspective and sudden focus be the result of a societal shift? And more importantly, when did attaining perfection become possible? It saddens me to hear that being less than perfect mothers, friends, children, siblings, partners, employees, etc. makes us less of a person. When in reality, self-love and self-acceptance for our flaws are more realistic, attainable and favorable goals. Perhaps, the summer of 2010 could be the summer we work towards that instead.

Thankfully, the weekend is upon us. Here’s what we want to do: Drink a mimosa. Skipping coffee isn’t normally something we look forward to, but if it means slowing down our immunity to the benefits of caffeine, we’re willing to take a short break. Thank god for mimosas; without it our brunches would get ugly. Eat an ice cream cone. …Instead of a high-calorie, ice cream man diet-buster. Not that we don’t love ice cream sandwiches, but the nutrition facts have convinced us that we only need a small swirly cone. Bike in the park.

The Right Brain Responds: Excellent question, Sue, but there’s no simple answer. Products that are intended to remove oil and dirt from skin and hair (like bar soap, shower gels, body washes and shampoos) are a double edged sword. They use surfactants (aka detergents) to dissolve oils to get hair and skin clean, but dissolving too much oil can dry out skin and cause damage. And guess what – the surfactants that do a really good job of cleaning away “dirty” oils also remove more of the “good” oils.

I’ve heard of this one product, Clarsskin that claims to penetrate the residue left behind to clean it off. Here’s what their website says: Clarsskin Underarm Cleanser contains a unique patent pending combination of an effective chelating agent with special agents. This complex mixture is specifically designed to remove antiperspirant deodorant residue, efficiently and mildly. So what’s so special about chelating agents?

The simple fact of fashion and MS is that sometimes it’s just hard to get into them! As I’ve mentioned, I’m using my recovery as prep for “the big one.” One of the biggest, fundamental issues I’ve faced over the past 7 weeks is dressing myself. The first problem I discovered post-op was bathing myself (there’s something about the side of a tub and hip surgery that don’t go so well together but I eventually got that one figured out). Most of the dressing issues I’ve faced in the past couple of months have had to do with what goes on or below the legs. Lifting my right leg is much easier now, but raising it even enough to slide on a pair of sweat pants ...

The bib and towel are to protect her CVL and ostomy.She gets to play with the water for a while and then we lay her down with her head over the sink to wash her hair. The towel around her middle gives us a good hand hold so we can stop her from going to far when she reaches into the water. She has breakfast all over her face and a big snotty nose but I think she is still cute.

Let me explain. All about Aveeno I don’t mean to be too harsh about Aveeno. It’s a fine brand but there’s nothing particularly natural or special about it. If you look at the ingredients used in Aveeno products you’ll see they prominently feature a variety of “Avena Sativa (oat) Kernel” extracts.

Of course, that is just my initial emotional reaction which isn’t exactly useful for making an objective judgment.

Some shampoos cost .66 to .99 cents. Is there that much of a difference between the two products to justify the price? I use the shampoo for body wash. Left Brain’s bubbly reply… Great question Valeri and an astute observation for even considering the possibility. The truth is that shampoos and body washes are so similar that they can be used interchangeably. In fact, in the early days of body washes it was not uncommon for a company to take its shampoo formula, put it in a different bottle, change the label and call it a body wash.
