The Curious History Of Wine Consumption In America
The history of wine consumption in America has been frought with starts, stops, and inconsistencies. The American population has always had a love-hate relationship with alcohol. Historic prohibitionist attitudes amongst much of the American population have blurred the line between moderate wine consumption and detrimental alcoholism. As a result, regular, moderate consumption of wine by the American public continues to face ideological and legal impediments.

The consequences of Child Maltreatment: “early use of drugs/alcohol and substance abuse/dependences”*
Despite my parent’s attendance at church, my home environment was not godly. There was a war between Mom and Dad and I became a casualty. One morning when I was 5 years old, my younger brother and I were playing with wooden blocks in our bedroom. Mom and Dad had been fighting. Dad went to work and we continued playing. Mom came into the bedroom scre ...

Love and Courage
To [many] work is not a gratifying opportunity to do good, but a necessary evil they would gladly forgo if they won or inherited a fortune. It is just a livelihood, a vital drudgery. Its meaning is the paycheck and the value it has in terms of service to their community is indifferent or very subordinate. Their calculating and uncaring attitude is recognizable. Whereas people who heartily act in the interest of others are gracious, they are perfunctory. At best, in establishments that d ...

This is My Story
(And I have to stick to it, I don’t want to, but that is the way it is)
I am currently in Recovery from Drug Addiction. I have been clean now for nearly eight years. I relapsed on my drug of choice-cocaine-when my mother died in 1993; a year after my son was born. Before that, I was literally rescued from years of heinous sexual and physical abuse, forced prostitution and drugs, by being arrested and sent to prison in 1990.

Resolve Disputes With Your Partners Before They Happen
A majority of businesses have ownership groups of less than five individuals. While this provides for efficient and effective management, difficulties arise when something happens to one of the owners. If your business has multiple owners, ask yourself what happens if: · The owners can’t get along? · One of you is hospitalized for an extended period? · An owner gets divorced [and the spouse is awarded half the shares?] · An owner stops coming to work? · You ...

The car doors slam. The wheels screech. The teenagers pilot the speeding car down the pavement into the darkness; a crash is heard. That's when the public service message appears at the bottom of the TV screen: Lock your car. Take your keys.It seems strange today to think that once upon a time, people needed to be told that leaving their keys in an unlocked car might be a bad idea.

Treatment Modalities and Therapies
Narcissism constitutes the entire personality. It is all-pervasive. Being a narcissist is akin to being an alcoholic but much more so. Alcoholism is an impulsive behaviour. Narcissists exhibit dozens of similarly reckless behaviours, some of them uncontrollable (like their rage, the outcome of their wounded grandiosity). Narcissism is not a vocation. Narcissism resembles depression or other disorders and cannot be changed at will. Adult pathological narcissism is no more "curable" than ...

Monitoring Your Teens for Drug Use Without Appearing to be Spying
Even if your teenagers do not use drugs, you still need to keep an eye on them. It is much better to realize that things could change, and anticipate that your teen COULD become a user. Essentially, it is not wise to make assumptions about topics such as drug use. Also, having been a high school teacher afforded me the opportunity to witness peer pressure, and how even good kids could be convinced to try drugs - just to fit in. It is important that you play a proactive role in ensuring that your ...

Arizona Drug Rehab Finding Help in Arizona
The state of Arizona has one of the worst drug problems in the United States. Historically and currently, the state is known as a transhipment location for a variety of drugs, including heroin, cocaine and marijuana, which are imported from other countries. As a result, these and other drugs are widely available in the state, and their abuse is common. There are probably few states that require the presence of rehabilitation centers as this one does - thankfully Arizona drug rehab centers are so ...

YOU - A Bright Shining Star?
There are about eight stages of our development as
effective "translators" of spiritual truth. Our
lives shine as an ever brighter and brighter light
as we move from one stage to another.
First, we must give Jesus His rightful place at the
center of our lives. Here we gain FAITH.
As we become more aware of good and evil, and turn
away from evil, choosing to do good - because Jesus
is now abiding in us and giving us those inner
nudges and prompts, we grow more ...

Write and be a good family member
For every writer, there comes the ultimate dilemma: what comes first, your seven year old son’s soccer practice or the demise of your heroine, wrapped in her father’s arms?
It’s easy to understand how the writer/family clash occurs. Writing is a very solitary profession which demands a great deal of time. Being in a family is a very social profession which demands a great deal of time. But understanding it doesn’t solve it.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could combine the two? Wel ...

How Addictive Are Cigarettes?
People commonly use the word addiction with regard to their smoking habits, as if to throw up their hands and say “See I’m addicted, I’m helpless to resist, there is nothing that I can do.” However, depite the common belief that nicotine is a highly addictive substance no official laboratory study has been able to definitively state that Nicotine is highly physically addictive. Not highly addictive? Really? When people are truly addicted to substances like Heroin or Cocaine ...

Conflict - How To Keep Your Readers Turning Pages
Some writers are just too kind. They hate to put their characters under any kind of pressure. They hate to see them losing, or struggling to survive.

How To Filter Description Through Your Characters
How do you describe a scene without slowing down the pace of your novel? What do you include? What do you leave out? Here's a neat trick: use your own experiences as a guide.

Poetry “Reborn” Emerges In Thriller Mystery Novel
Since Mohamed Ali–then Cassius Clay–announced that he had written “The world’s shortest poem,” I have known that I would be a poet. “ME? WHEE!” His triumphant proclamation evoking shivers within my troubled teenaged identity, for I reasoned in rhyme. Everyday, hundreds-of-thousands of seemingly sane souls satisfy some innate need to bare their concealed character via atrocious alliteration or in delusional doggerel.

The Reality of Arranged Marriages
Arranged marriages have been a topic of interest for centuries. Authors across the ages have explored this theme at length, and it still surfaces in literary works today. What's the appeal? Is it the fascination with the lack of lust and desire we cultivate in North American society? We strive on the element of danger, of the forbidden, while an arranged marriage is usually a safe way to ensure a family's approval of a union. And yet, many of today's romance novels deal with marriages o ...

Do You Have A Food Addiction?
Everyone from time to time gets a craving for a certain type of food. Sometimes we just crave something to eat. No real reason, other than to eat. Sometimes this can be because you are bored, or because you seem something suggestive about food. How many times have you seen a television commercial advertising burgers and it made you want one? This is healthy. We all do it. Hell, I'd say that we probably do this several times per week. Did you know, that you can be addicted to food? I know tha ...

Aiding Angry Allies
You may have seen this in the Bible;
"Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do
not associate with one easily angered..." *
Fairly obvious advice, since we all know that an
angry person can become violent and hurt us. We
have learned over the last decade or two that an
abuser or criminal has often a submerged anger.
But how many of us can recognize latent or hidden
anger in an individual? Is it possible to spot
the signs and avoid becoming too clos ...

Goodnesss Gone on a Tangent
The problem with being compassionate is you can go
off to wrong extremes like gushy sentimentalism,
undiscerning empathy, or taking up offenses on the
behalf of others.
This is true for all good character traits. If we
lose balance, each of the positives about us can
wander off on a tangent and become something bad.
Here's another example; the problem with being
discrete is the potential for over-cautiousness,
secretiveness, timidness, and sometimes just ...

Alcohol: Is There Really A Problem?
Alcoholism and alcohol abuse are different branches of the same poisonous tree. Alcoholism is dependence based; meaning, a person feels that they need alcohol in order to cope with day-to-day life. Alcohol abuse, on the other hand, is not an uncontrollable urge, but the uncontrollability of the abuser once s/he obtains alcohol. An alcoholic abuser may have problems keeping up with daily responsibilities, such as going to work or adhering to familial needs. He or she may also get i ...

Alcohol Abuse - How to Start Helping Yourself First
They say that the first step to solving a personal problem is to admit that you have just that-a problem. While this is somewhat true, especially when the problem is alcohol related, you need to slowly work yourself to some desired goal, whether it's to stop drinking all together, or to moderate your consumption (which a doctor can help you decide based an overall health analysis).
