I drink coffee, I prefer stain-inducing red wine to white, and I didn’t wear my retainers as a teenager. But thanks to a mother obsessed with keeping me pearly and cavity-free, I got braces to reel back my buck teeth, received bi-annual fluoride treatments to keep fillings at bay, and endured pricey whiteners to abate a Diet Coke-tinted grin. For that, I’m eternally grateful. After all, who doesn’t enjoy hearing “I really like your smile” on a first date, or getting compliments over the din of the dental hygienist’s plaque grinder? Nobody ever told me that I landed a job thanks to my awesome incisors, but according to researchers at Columbia University, my teeth may be adding to my paycheck. In a study published by the Nati...

Also my long time nemesis. I hate her. She stole my perfectly good name and turned it into a joke. On her About Me page she says, “When you hear the name Elvira only one person comes to mind…” Excuse me? And what does that make me? Chopped liver? You might be thinking, “Gee, Elvira, why would it scare you to be associated, even loosely, with a s.ty, Vampira wannabe in a cheap wig? [Yes. Before Elvira there was Vampira (circa 1953), the first ever late night horror film hostess. She was featured in that wonderfully campy Tim Burton film 'Ed Wood', with Johnny Depp as the cross dressing Mr. Wood.] Anywho… I don’t really mind that much…anymore…but once upon a time I dreaded hearing my name mispron...

With an engaging, conversational style, he tackles the neuropsychological underpinnings of belief and certainty, carefully examining these ubiquitous dynamics in light of what is known about how the mind works.” Read more . . . From Nueronarrative: “The Lucifer Effect: An Interview with Dr. Philip Zimbardo” “Social psychologist [and Situationist contributor] Philip Zimbardo has been studying the anatomy of human psychology for nearly four decades. In the summer of 1971, Dr. Zimbardo created the classic Stanford Prison Experiment, a simulation of prison life that investigated a provocative...

Back in January, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) sent a letter to the producers of the ABC legal drama, Eli Stone; the AAP was justifiably concerned about the TV show’s presentation of the issue of vaccines and autism. Proponents of the theory that vaccines or something in vaccines causes autism issued some harsh criticism of the AAP (described by Respectful Insolence). More recently, the AAP seems to be entering a stage of what might be détente with the proponents of a vaccine-autism link. It was recently reported that the AAP had met with some “representatives&#8221...

Narrator: This is the tale of an ordinary man, who had everything… Mrs. Lovett: Barker, his name was. Benjamin Barker. Narrator: Until a man of power stole his freedom, destroyed his family and banished him… for life. And in his sorrow a new man was born. Mrs. Lovett: You’re barking mad. Sweeney Todd: The years, no doubt changed me After hard years in exile for a crime he didn’t commit, Benjamin Barker now Sweeney Todd, returns to London to find his wife dead and his daughter in the hands of the evil Judge Turpin. In his anger, Sweeney goes on a murderous rampage on all London, with the help of Mrs. Lovett, he opens a barber shop in which he lures his victims in with a charming smile before casual... bipolar chicks blogging blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1142499 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 10:14:53 +0100 1142499
