Speeding along on our electric bikes, we have discovered a new way of life! Doing our zipping around on these LEVs, or Light Electric Vehicles, we realize that we are doing much more to aid in the recent global warming crisis. It is all about the little things you can do, right? This is what we do! We don’t drive our cars if we are just going to town to run a few small errands. We are helping save the planet, and we are saving money that would be spent on our gas guzzling car! It is absolutely fantastic! Get one today!

If you want to lose weight you need to eat healthy food and get regular exercise. This may sound simple, but that’s because losing weight really can be a simple and easy process. You do not have to turn your life upside down and deprive yourself of all the things you love when you’re loooking for ways to lose weight. If you keep a positive attitude losing weight can be easy. However, if you think it’s going to be hard, it will be. Losing weight will require you to give up some foods you enjoy. However, look at this as a good thing as it gives you the opportunity to eat healthier, less fattening foods that probably taste better as well. If you can add just 30 minutes of exercise every day to your healthy diet then you are doing everything it takes to lose weight.

There was a fantastic sale on titanium rings the other day, and I’m kicking myself for not taking advantage of the value that was being given. It’s not everyday an opportunity to own a piece of jewelry made of the toughest metal known on the planet! I mean, for once in my life I would have been king! I would have had the absolute best that money could buy! But I didn’t act, and now I am regretting it more and more… There is a reason titanium is the best, and I should have been smart enough to get when the getting was good!

My girlfriend is a wino but not in a bad way. She just enjoys her wine and I enjoy helping her enjoy it. One of our favorite things to do is to go to different wine making places such as Penoach Vineyard. It is an easy way to wile away an entire day going from place to place and tasting all of their wares. Or it is an easy date to go to one of the formal diners that they have. Each course comes with a different wine and they really hope you buy a case or two to take home. We usually just get a bottle even though most prices are quite reasonable.

My Name is Scott Wolfenden. I am from New Jersey and work in the Newark Public School System. Most of my articles are on the subject of children, mental health and related topics. I’ve taught in public schools in Paterson, NJ and Newark, NJ, as well as a short time in Carteret, NJ, for the past four years. My BA is in Social Science from Thomas Edison State College in Trenton, NJ with a minor in Psychology. The emphasis in studies has been related to children’s issues, as well as early education, as has been most of my writing. I have written a book entitled Happy Healthy Children in the 21st Century, Overcoming ADHD and the ART of Prevention, Karnac Books, London, currently scheduled for publication in July 2008.
I have taught hundreds of special education students and first became interested in ADHD in Edison and Paterson, NJ, with students who had the disorder, and also, in reading Sandra Reif’s well known book on the subject. I felt that medication for children was counterproductive in the long run, when treating ADHD, and also, excessive time with video games, television and movies, as well as other forms of media, contributed to many children’s attentional problems.
In speaking and working with many professionals, both educational psychologists and teachers, special education, and early childhood, many have been concerned about the excessive use of medication in treating children. Diane Levin, PhD is a well known author who has written prolifically on the subject of violence and children, as well as the sexualizing of children in advertising and the media, in a book to be released in August of 2008, and Sharna Olfman has also written a number of excellent books on the subject of the overuse of medication in treating children of both ADHD and bipolar disorder.
It would seem that there is much that can be done to treat many mental health conditions in both children, teens and adults. Art is a positive contribution to a child’s skills and it can help many children with ADHD and bipolar disorder, as well as persons with OCD, to be able to stabilize, focus and it serves as something of a natural tranquilizer for many.
For persons with depression, daily exercise, particularly brisk walking, for 45 minutes or so a day, has proven to be more effective than medication for many in clinical studies. There are many other examples of natural remedies for mental health disorders. Not all of which are easily treated, and some of which require professional counseling and treatment. However, medication as a first line of treatment is usually not necessary, especially with children and teens, and often times can be treated successfully without medication through attention to lifestyle issues, cognitive-behavioral therapy, which includes lifestyle changes such as less media time, and less intensity in the hours one spends with media time and seeking out morepeaceful and calming activities.
There are many books that give excellent guidelines for persons with depression, such as psychologist Joel Robertson’s Natural Prozac, one of the best books on depression, and also, Dr. Joel Nigg’s book, What Causes ADHD? Also, an excellent reference.
