More, Now, Again

In many ways, life in college is like one big competition. If you’re not landing the coveted internship with J.P. Morgan, making the Dean’s List, playing college sports, or throwing the best parties—you’re left in the dust. Now the competitions have moved into a whole different arena and college women are starting to play some serious hardball.

The typical Friday night at college has transformed from kicking back and enjoying a few beers with friends, to drinking battles between the sexes. While college men have traditionally been stigmatized as binge drinkers, recent studies show that college women—in some attempt to prove that they can be one-of-the-boys—are becoming more prominent culprits of the binge drinking culture. (While there can be many definitions of binge drinking, the accepted definition is five or more drinks in a row for men and four or more drinks in a row for women). As senior Syracuse University student Lisa Diebold told TIME magazine, “To be able to drink like a guy is kind of a badge of honor.” Read more…

A Dispatch from Ireland. Second part

July 22nd, 2009

So who’s to blame for the lagging Irish support for the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan?

In part, it’s the U.S., suggests Sunday Times (Ireland edition) columnist David Quinn. Writing in the National Review On-Line last week, Quinn pointed the finger at the failure of the U.S. Embassy in Dublin to effectively counteract the anti-U.S. bias exhibited by much of the Irish media.

On one level, I would agree. In the Irish Times a columnist laments, “How did the world get to believe that terror and slaughter delivered by a bomb in a car was an atrocity; while much more terror and much more slaughter by airplane or missile is morally ok?” In the Irish Examiner another columnist mocks the futile “Bush fire…to smoke out Osama Bin Laden.”

A Dispatch from Ireland. First part

July 9th, 2009

God has an uncanny way of sending me to the hinterlands of geopolitical significance in moments of conflict. When the World Trade Center and Pentagon were hit I was in Eugene, Oregon. By the time the U.S. bombing and ground campaign got underway in early October in Afghanistan, I had safely settled in Limerick, Ireland, next to the thoroughly benign Shannon River. Naturally, as a student of conflict, this was at first a bit disgruntling.

Comparison of Erectile Dysfunction Pills

June 18th, 2009
Comments Off

Viagra (Sildenafil) is a medication that doctors prescribe to men who have erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is when a man’s penis can’t become hard, or doesn’t stay hard long enough to engage in sex, to completion. Viagra should be taken 30 to 60 minutes before intercourse. Since many people consider Viagra to be expensive, here are some alternatives, and even Female Viagra is available on the website.

Cialis (TADALAFIL) works quickly — within half an hour in some men — and can last up to 36 hours. This means that you and your lover can be spontaneous, responding to each other, sexually, when the time is right. Of course your results can be variable, so talk today to your physician to determine if Cialis is right for you. In clinical trials, Cialis proved its ability to help men with ED have one successful intercourse attempt as long as 36 hours after a dose. There are no studies to ascertain if Tadalafil can be used for multiple sexual attempts from just one dose. Read more…

Teeth Whitening Treatments. What is The Best Method?

June 3rd, 2009
Comments Off

Many people spend lots of money looking for the latest, most technologically advanced methods of getting their teeth sparkly, as soon as they can, with teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening procedures work to lighten teeth that are discolored, or get rid of the stains that have built up on your teeth and aged them over the years. Choose a teeth whitening option that is safe and won’t damage enamel in any way. Notwithstanding the various degrees of effectiveness with the diverse teeth whitening treatments, every treatment done properly should get rid of discolorations as well as brighten your teeth.

Bleaching your teeth may make your teeth whiter. If this is the teeth whitening treatment you choose, be sure to protect your gums with a moldable tray. If you use this, no other part of your mouth, except your teeth, will be effected, and the risk of swallowing the teeth whitening agent will be minor.

These products use hydrogen peroxide as their main ingredient. Combined with the other ingredients, it whitens any stains that appear on your teeth. If you use this type of teeth whitening product, you might see a major change in your smile within 3 to 4 weeks. There are also other teeth whitening treatments which are effective and show results within one week. You apply these to your teeth at bedtime and rinse them off in the morning.

But if you want to whiten your teeth quickly, you might want to consider professional teeth whitening. Laser treatments are among the most commonly used forms of treatment. Although they are expensive, these treatments produce immediate, long-lasting results.

Instruction Of Use Muscle Relaxants Prescription Drugs

April 28th, 2009
Comments Off

Prescription drugs are not commonly used to treat neck pain. Physicians normally hesitate to prescribe medication for neck pain until tests have been administered that verify that pain needs to be treated. The main reason for this is that prescription drugs used for treatment of neck pain are powerful and can cause marked side effects.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Choose the Right Kind

Oral steroids should be used  for severe neck pain that is not relieved with use of non-prescription medications. Remember that steroids should be taken for a maximum of 7 days.

Let your doctor know if you have diabetes or an infection because use of steroids has the potential of causing serious side effects by interfering with certain natural bodily processes.

If you have recently been injured and have severe pain, discuss narcotic pain medications with your physician.

Since narcotics can be addictive, let your doctor know if you have had issues with drug addiction in the past. Although they may offer some relief in the short term, extended use can lead to addiction.

Remember that after 10-14 days, narcotic drugs should be discontinued because a tolerance develops and the narcotics will no longer be effective.

If neck pain is caused by muscle spasms, muscle relaxants may be helpful. People who suffer from extreme stress may especially benefit from using muscle relaxants as they have a universal calming effect.

Muscle relaxants should not be taken if you must drive, focus on details or balance yourself well. Using this kind of medication may have a significant impact on your performance capabilities.

It’s yours chance to save money on OTC drugs

November 19th, 2008
Comments Off

Have you ever stood in front of shelves filled with pain relievers or allergy medications trying to decide which would be the best one to buy?

That’s because it can be quite a task to pick the right OTC option. Over 100,000 OTC products are available for you to choose from. Those 100,000 products contain variations and combinations of about 1,000 active ingredients.

Therefore many OTC medications have multiple brand names. Some popular products that are available under a variety of names include allergy medications, heartburn remedies and pain relievers.

One way to make the search a bit easier is to check and see what is in your medicine cabinet right now. Find the products that you use most often and note the active ingredients. Make a list of them.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Motrin), aspirin or some combination of these products is often found in pain relievers. Frequently headache remedies contain caffeine. Once you have found out which remedy suits you best and what its active ingredient is, you can identify it in other medications by reading the label information. There is often a big price difference between brand name and generic versions of a medicine.

Benadryl’s generic alternative is diphenhydramine. Tylenol PM is one of the many sleep aids that you can purchase over the counter that contains that ingredient. If you need something to help you sleep but do not need a pain reliever, you might want to try generic Benadryl. Not only will you save money, but you will avoid taking unnecessary medications. If you are comparing three different sleep aids that each contain the same dosage of diphenhydramine, cost may be the only variable. Evaluating the price difference is not difficult.
