Because with the memories came the obvious grasp that my dad is gone. It was the very definition of bittersweet. Sure, there might be laughter and the subtle shape of a smile, but inevitably there’d also be tears and the realization that this is where the memories ended. But as the months passed, remembering and recounting tidbits from my childhood, my dad’s sayings and jokes and other memories started doing the opposite: they started bringing me a sense of peace. Not an overwhelming wave of calm, but a small token of serenity. I also knew very well that talking about my dad meant honoring his memo...

Then we move on.  We deal with dad and siblings, develop friendships, find lovers, and then a spouse.  Throughout this journey mom serves as a role model and becomes a source of  encouragement, love, anxiety, frustration, avoidance, support and conflict. “It’s comp...

It takes another 6 months but it’s worth the wait, more pictures here on the website of the designer Markus Krauss. Sway is a rocking chair with a padded seat and a steel rack. The shape of the seat enables many-sided use even in pairs. The telescope mechanism locates the rocking chair in an easy chair position.   Related posts:Dr Shock sat in a Winston Churchill Chair Photos of The Universe in 3D (Source: Dr Shock MD PhD) Dr Shock MD PhD blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4205981 Sat, 27 Nov 2010 19:00:01 +0100 4205981 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3911740&cid=t_170463_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2010%2F08%2F27%2Fbest-of-our-blogs-august-27-2010%2F The other day I was driving when I heard a familiar song playing on the radio. It was Bob Marley’s Buffalo Soldier. In fact, as I type this I can hear it playing in my head. The funny thing is that the sound automatically took me back to my childhood. My cousins and I were sitting in someone’s living room. The radio was playing. That song was on. And my older cousin was sitting on this huge comfy chair while the rest of us kids were sitting on the ground. Why do I remember this seemingly mundane event? My cousin spontaneously began belting out the song, dancing to the beat and being as silly as a kid can be. We rolled on the floor and laughed until our sides hurt. It was a memorable moment. We were young, spontaneous and free. How does this relate to this week’s top post...

I’ve lived my entire life seeing people I love devastated by the effects of mental illness, including a good friend who took his own life because of his deep depression. Contrast that with people who have been forcibly medicated, only to find when they stopped the medication, they could get better on their own, and I’m left scratching my head. Of course, these are just two anecdotes out of the millions of stories we live and breathe about mental illness. To me, there is no “right answer” about the One True Path to find enlightenment or to relieve one’s suffering from mental illness. So when I read an article in the Natio...

Perhaps this is why I never recognized that type of wood when I was an adult — wood that was neither blandly pale like pine, or dark and shiny. I thought of this while looking at the oaken table upon which I did my homework every school-night from first grade up until I grew into a moody teenager and retreated to a room in the attic. Etched onto the surface of that oaken table is a cigarette burn, which appeared mysteriously after one or another of my parents’ parties. Its edges are worn smooth by my having gouged away at all of the brittle parts of the burn when I was supposed to be working on my algebra homework. Trying to etch a design in it also got my parents angry.

Metal fragments pierced the boy’s rectum resulting in extensive and fatal bleeding. The chair in question was a standard gas cylinder type, where the height is regulated by an adjustable cylinder containing highly pressurised gas, and it was this which exploded, sending high velocity chair parts into the posterior of the unfortunate youth. In fact, it seems a spate of such incidents were reported at the hospital – 3 such injuries caused by exploding chairs were reported this month, perhaps indicating an influx of poorly manufactured chairs into the area. Makes me wonder if similar incidents have happened in Malaysia. The report certainly made me have a closer look at the chai...

Here are some excerpts (as well as a link to the webcast of the lecture). * * * Individual free choice, an idea that permeates common sense and legal theory, assumes that actions reflect the stable preferences of individual actors. Individuals are responsible for their actions (that is, their preference-driven choices), and laws can therefore be designed on that assumption. But if that assumption is wrong, says Harvard Law School Professor Jon Hanson, then laws built upon it may not be advancing the ends they purport to serve. And Hanson’s view, steeped in interdisciplinary study in the mind sciences, is that the assumption...

A physical therapist designed the dental chair to prevent back strain. AnterioRest is not a chair fro the dentist, but rather a patients’ chair with a padded arm that can be positioned as needed to provide frontal support for the dentist. You can view a video, find testimonials, and review research at www.anteriorestdental.com. From the press release… “AnterioRest® provides prevention and treatment of lower back injury. The concept of Back Support From the Front® applies research findings which suggest that anterior support is far more effective than posterior support in reducing muscle stress in an inclined position.” (Source: dental blog for dentists about dentistry) dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1717087 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:49:41 +0100 1717087 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1478041&cid=t_170463_133_f&fid=35096&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAutismVox%2F%7E3%2F300900888%2F Two designers have created exercise furniture: A pull up bar / clothes hanger, a workout mat rug.

Vallortigara et al consider these claims from the perspective of specialists in animal cognition and critique what Grandin says: We argue that animals, like nonautistic humans, process sensory information according to rules, and that this manner of processing is a specialised feature of the left hemisphere of the brain in both humans and no...
