If so, take a look at this menu of options and make your choices. Remember, the more you tackle, the bigger the boost you’ll receive. When you’re feeling blue, it can be hard to muster up the physical and mental energy to do the things that make you happier. Plunking down in front of the TV or digging into a tub of ice cream seems like an easier fix. However, research shows (and you know it’s true) that these aren’t the routes to feeling better. Try some choices below. The more you push yourself, the better you’ll feel; but if you can’t tackle a big task, just do something small. Even a little step in the right direction will give you a lift. According to my ground-breaking happiness formula, to be happy, you need to think about...

I was about 8 or 9 years old at the time and had a reoccurring nightmare about two kids chasing me down the street. When I told my dad about it he said, “You know you can control your dreams right?” He told me all I had to do was visualize what I wanted to happen in the dream before I went to sleep. Because I had the kind of faith in magic and pure wonder that only occurs in childhood, I wholeheartedly believed him. The next morning I woke up with a smile on my face. In my dream, the two kids that were chasing me finally caught up. But in their hands were melting ice-cream cones they had been trying to give me. That dream was years ago, but I will never forget it. More than teaching me how to control my dreams, it tau...

The new ice cream flavor, which is named “Baby Gaga,”  is made from a mix of cream made from 75 percent human breast milk and 25 percent cream from old Bossy the cow, herself.

Vanilla goes with everything, and therefore is a classic of sorts. But it’s been a classic by default of being only there as some sort of structure to display the banana slices and chocolate sauce upon. Chocolate: it has its own presence. Avoid the chips — they overwhelm. Avoid the nuts — they break your nice new dental veneers. Plain chocolate is enough. And now, I have to go figure out why there is none in the house.

It’s actually only been summer for a little more than a month now, but the word “August” can still conjure thoughts of autumn. To make matters worse, stores are already filling up with sweaters and school supplies. So in order to ward off any bad feelings about fall, we’ve decided to remain super-summery for as long as possible. Are you in? Then keep up with the swimming, the grilling, the S’mores-making, the beach-going, and all your summer reading.

But toilet everything is the theme of Modern Toilet, a chain-restaurant in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China. In addition to the toilet-shaped bowels, restaurant-goers sit on toilets and eat off of bathtubs. So, what’s the verdict?

We’re officially in the midst of summer. In fact, we’re almost at the end of June. July here we come! Yet, for some of us summer doesn’t automatically mean fun. There’s the oil spill, for example, the economy and everything else on the news. Added to that are our plain old daily concerns on everything from our weight to our empty wallets. Yes, we definitely need an extra boost to have fun as adults. It’s not just about ice-cream cones or playing in the sand anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. If we have to work harder to have fun than so be it. We deserve to play as much as any kid out there!

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.

In other words, I am a sun worshipper. I spend as much time as I can outside, avoiding the shade like the plague. Of course, I wear SPF (more or less) and no longer bask Bain de Soleil-style on a chaise lounge. The change in habits is due, in part, to the good sense that 30-some-odd years can bring, and, in part, because my two-year-old son (and ever-present tag-a-long) inherited his dad’s powder-like skin complexion. If I plan to go to the beach, park, or pool for any length of time with toddler in tow, I need to execute a two-pronged strategy: Divert and protect.

Seven years ago, we gave our very sweet little girl a very wrong name. Okay, so it wasn’t Tu Morrow (born of Rob Morrow) or Fifi Trixibell (born of Bob Geldof). In fact, there was nothing inherently wrong with the name itself. It was pretty actually. (Just please don’t make me say it). But it was wrong. Wrong. Wrong. And so we changed it. Truth is, we had been pretty smug about our baby-naming skills. While some insist that whatever name you choose, a child will grow into it, as a kid I couldn’t even name a kitten or a puppy ...

Here’s what they said instead: Does that morning chart thing you did really work? Can you send it to me? Did you make it yourself? Which font makes check boxes? Did you give the kids a prize at the end? And here’s what I realized: While we might think our parent friends are essential for talking out the big stuff, the “Is my kid going to end up in therapy because I…” moments, we really just need them for their tricks. Because this is how we get our really good parenting skills – the kind that make us feel like we’re cheating in the parenting game, a...

Because so many of us know exactly how you feel. I’m there a lot of the time myself. Less than I was the two years following my hospitalizations, but there too much of the time.

Probably Christmas with all its festivities, lights and symbolism of Christianity; certainly Thanksgiving because of the wonderful food, family and history but the Fourth is special.

And since it’s highly unusual for E. coli, an intestinal bacterium of cattle (i.e., it’s in their feces) to be present in something like cookie dough, investigators are so far at a loss to explain exactly what is going on. But, since all of the people who became sick ate the same raw cookie dough product, it seems obvious that it’s the cookie dough that’s to blame. The question is, from where did the E. coli come?

They are addicted to publicity--any publicity--to promote their zealotry and I am loath to lend any hand in that enterprise. But sometimes a story comes along that so succinctly illustrates the group's idiocy that it is impossible to resist: PETA wants Ben and Jerry's to make ice cream from human milk. From the story:"PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the statement says.PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health.Women as so many dairy cows:...

Charlie stood very close to a woman who was ordering at the window and moved towards us when I called him, and certainly experienced nothing like a Canadian woman, Erica Gosselin, did while recently taking two autistic boys to a DQ. Another reader referred to the (unhappy) reaction of another customer in a letter to the Alliston Herald: Erica explained that she has a summer job working with these two autistic boys. They are brothers, and the younger one has a more serious form of autism than his sibling; for one thing, he has less physical control. At least once a week, Erica takes them to the Dairy Queen as a special treat. On this particular occasion, the one she writes about, a man sitting behind them started yelling at he...

Bring it on! Image details: Couple sharing gelato cone served by picapp.com 1 in 8 couples has trouble conceiving. This, I did not know, but given how many folks I’ve met who are having a hard time getting pregnant, sadly, I’m not surprised. But, the fix could be just the thing that summertime is all about…Ice Cream!!!! I’m not making this up, I swear! The good folks at Harvard University have found that along with the usual suspects of increasing fruit and veggie intake, limiting red meats, adding healthy fats by way of nuts and fish, and other assorted healthful advice, full fat dairy products may also boost fertility. And when I hear full fat, I think Ben & Jerry’s, baby! The thing here is that it must be full fat dai...

More than $120,000 was raised at Stop & Shop and Giant stores throughout New England, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Maryland on the one day where shoppers donated $1 for a scoop of SLOW CHURNED light ice cream or $3 for a scoop of SLOW CHURNED light ice cream and a compilation CD of former American Idol performers. The total represents an increase of more than $20,000 over what was raised in last year’s promotion. The company will also donate an additional $25,000 from sales of its SLO...

More than 70 people who attended the Relay for Life in Center, Texas on May 2nd were infected with Salmonella after eating home-made ice cream at the fund-raiser.This was the most recent in a series of sporadic Salmonella outbreaks traced to home-made ice cream over the years. Three such outbreaks – in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey (1988), in Florida (1993), and in Edmonton, Alberta (1999) – were all linked to the use of raw shell eggs in the ice cream.But commercial ice cream isn't immune to contamination. In 1994, Schwan's ice cream was the source of a major, multi-state outbreak of Salmonella infections. The company purchased pasteurized ice cream premix in bulk, mixed it with flavoring and other ingredients in its own pro... eFoodAlert.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1455599 Tue, 20 May 2008 12:26:00 +0100 1455599 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1282308&cid=t_172599_109_f&fid=35677&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FBrainBasedBusiness%2F%7E3%2F246512960%2Fjerry_greenfields_community_bu.html Business and caring communities intersect naturally for Jerry Greenfield … co-founder of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream. Do they come together where you work? Most would agree that a firm’s economic and creative pulse depend on rhythms of emotionally intelligent and motivated work communities.  Yet too often we hear more about toxins than caring tactics at work. The problem solving and technology challenges continue to grow rapidly … while the number of people who bring a community building knack to work, is increasingly shrinking.Sadly, there is an alarming lack of interest in nurturing communities within some business bureaucracies. What would it take to tap into the brainpower of even one community builder … and ensure an organization consistently cares?...

For some lucky reason, the truck does not drive through my family's subdivision. I say 'lucky' because if the truck did roll through daily, I'd constantly be saying "no" and disappointing my kids. To me, ice cream is a treat. But somewhere along the way, junk food and so-called treats have become the anchor of many children's diets. Call me an ice cream truck grouch, but children are suffering from the highest rate of childhood obesity in our nation's history. It is well known childhood obesity is a contributing factor in the rising rates of type 2 diabetes among today's youth. What are we going to do about it? Doris Paul from the Squamish N...
