There are two gems situated right next to each other off Peachtree Road down Bennett Street in South Buckhead. The Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia (MOCA Georgia) www.mocaga.org and the Tula Art Center www.tulaartcenter.com are filled with inspiring visual art and each have a special event this weekend.
On Friday, 11/9 from 11 am to 5 pm and Saturday, 11/10 from 11 am to 8 pm, the Tula Art Center will host an "Open Studio" when all of the artists will be on hand to showcase their creations. While most days the Tula Art Center is open to the public, you are not guaranteed to have access to all of the studios.
This is a unique opportunity when all the artists open their doors to welcome you into their workspace and share their talents. The closing reception is Saturday, 11/10 from 5 pm to 8 pm.
Next door MOCA Georgia will hold the opening reception for their new exhibit, Ayokunle Odeleye, 32 Years of Public Art on Friday, 11/9 from 6:30 pm to 8:30. This retrospective exhibit will showcase models, drawings and photos of sculpture commissioned for public spaces all over the country.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
This week Monkey Boo turns 1 year old. Since she was a rescue from a puppy mill, her paperwork is inconsistent when it comes to what day she was born. Some point to December 1, others point to December 5 (which we think is the more likely date).
In honour of her first birthday (and with it being Christmas time), I'm having an Etsy sale based around the numbers 1 and 5.
First, all orders - despite size - will cost $15 or less for shipping across North America.
And second, for those who read my blog or Twitter or Facebook , you can save an additional 15% off the cost of the item by using the code HAPPYBIRTHDAYBOO.
Using the code in addition to the lower shipping rates will save some folks $20 for certain items!
The sale runs from Monday, December 3 to Monday, December 10th. After that, the code expires and shipping prices go back to normal.
So if you know a certain someone who loves one of a kind items, or Halloween, or monsters, or art, perhaps there's a creature in my shop waiting to be put under their tree.
Monkey Boo would like to mention that each purchase you make translates into presents (and dogfood and treats) for others (including her), so head on over to the shop and get that Christmas shopping done!
I thought I was being kind, putting my pumpkin out back to live the last of his days naturally.
Instead, I've subjected him to squirrel torture. I can almost hear him screaming at night "They're eating my face!".
He doesn't look too happy about it either.
I hope he isn't planning revenge.
But I sort of know how he feels. November has been somewhat unpleasant so far. Halloween is over. Everyone is exhausted.
Then a week ago Sunday little Miss Monkey Boo decided to do a backward summersault with a twist off the couch, landing hard with her hind leg beneath her, knocking her left knee cap loose. She already has a slippery kneecap in the right hind leg. We've been on total rest duty since Sunday November 4th.
I love this video and how into Halloween the father is. If it had been of my family when I was a child, the scenes would have been "Here comes Dad, and boy is he furious everyone is making a mess in the living room and blocking the tv. 'Shoo!' he says."
Who says Halloween is over?
This past weekend I didn't feel like going straight home after work. Instead, I went down to the Harbourfront Centre to catch the end of the Day of the Dead Festival with everything from sugar skulls, to Mariachi Bands, to traditional altar displays. Sadly, I got there 20 minutes before it all shut down, and did a quick tour of the lot. I was disappointed to arrive so late, but soon realized all was not lost.
Turns out there was a theatrical performance of Orson Welles' famous radio broadcast of War of the Worlds by the Art of Time Ensemble. Instead of having 11 voice actors, there were 3: Sean Cullen (who has done many things, but I always think of Corky and the Juice Pigs), Nicholas Campbell (who you might know from Haven, or the classic Da Vinci's Inquest), and Marc Bendavid (The Border).
It was a simple set, leaving the props and costumes to give the impression of time and setting. The main actors stood to the right with microphones in front, scripts in hand. To the far left was live Foley sound effects artist John Gzowski who was fascinating to watch. In the middle were musicians who, in classic form, spent their free time smoking and reading magazines.
Hanging above the cast was an "On Air" sign and a clock, counting off the hour.
As someone who loves to listen to stories, and also enjoys a glimpse of history, I was completely captivated.
You could understand why people tuning in partway into the program might believe the news broadcasts were real. And how, if they didn't stick around to listen until the last quarter, they wouldn't understand that what they were listening to was a theatrical production.
Even the poster for the event (pictured top left) appealed to me.
And that was just the second half of the show. There was more.
Let me start by saying a big thanks to Amy over at Circus Posterus who chose Halloween to post an interview with yours truly. Definitely one of the coolest online nods I've gotten this season.
The oddest? I made the list for Best Dating Sites "20 Sites to Plan the Perfect Halloween Date" which tickled me to no end. I'm at the bottom, for those who want to get crafty on their date. Hilariously awesome.
Now, who is going to hand out the "We Survived Halloween 2012" shirts?
Strange year. Ventured out into the city early yesterday evening and in neighbourhoods that traditionally overflowed with Halloween celebration and decoration, but there was little to be found. You'd think it was the start of October, not the end. Certainly not Halloween itself.
We made it.
Here's hoping the storm systems don't completely ruin this year's festivities for folks. While it is rainy and miserable, and not the best weather for haunters, it could be worse. You just have to read the news about folks east of us to know how bad it could be.
Besides, I don't think having an old fashioned dark and stormy night in Toronto is all that bad for setting the Halloween mood.
As for me? What's that saying about the best laid plans? It's looking like my social affairs are going to melt away with the rain. Last minute meetings, work obligations and acts of God have all conspired so that I might be on my own after work. Tonight? I imagine I'll be on the couch with Yetch and Monkey Boo.
As promised, here are the last pictures from this year's party. I decided to take my corpse from last year and have her propped on the porch to greet guests. Sure, it has nothing to do with Twin Peaks, but I really like her.
I also was able to get the Art Ghoullery behaving, so you can see the complete set in larger versions.
Be safe tonight. Have fun. And I wish you the Happiest of Halloweens.
Ghoul Friday
"Through the dark of futures past
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds
'Fire walk with me'
I'll catch you with my death bag
You may think I've gone insane
But I promise
I will kill again"
Here is the second batch of pictures.
You got to see a preview of the Laura Palmer decoration earlier, and now here it is up on the wall.
I do like the simplicity of using crumpled brown craft paper for the quote "She's dead. Wrapped in Plastic". Something earthy about it, and a sense of being disposable (easily thrown away in the trash).
I used the craft paper for cave symbols across the room too. And of course, the brown paper bags for the Sycamore tree lanterns.
The chess game and playing cards with the faces changed are hat tips to Windom Earle, and the poker chips are for "One Eyed Jacks".
What's a Red Room experience without Agent Cooper?
Here are the first set of photographs from Sunday's Party. The theme, as you know, was Halloween in the Black Lodge.
I'll be posting more images as the rainy afternoon goes on.
Having some technical difficulties with the site, so I can't put them into the Art Ghoullery just this moment. For now, here's some smaller versions while you wait for the originals to be posted.
In this set, you'll find sycamore trees at the entrance of the Black Lodge; Owls (of course); doughnuts (a bit fancier than what they had on the show); Tibetan rock throwing gear (to determine who "J" is/who killed Laura Palmer); a box of spiders for Leo Johnson; Waldo, the dead eye witness Mynah Bird; and the map from Owl Cave that tells folks how and where to find the Black Lodge.
More to come!
Missed posting Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was work and then prepping for my party, and Sunday was prepping then hosting my party.
October has gone by fast, but I think I traveled the speed of light yesterday to arrive here, Monday afternoon.
I've spent the morning dismantling part of the party decor (Monkey Boo couldn't find her way in and out of the curtained red room very well), and the afternoon was dedicated to snuggling on the couch with the pup.
I'm exhausted.
Everyone seemed to have a nice time. No huge recipe fiascoes. Decorations came together as expected. Overall, it was a successful gathering.
There are pictures to share. And I will share them. I promise.
But tomorrow.
The rest of the day is earmarked for putting away dishes, more snuggling with the dog, eating leftover fancy doughnuts from last night, and watching Halloween television or movies.
It's Halloween party weekend for many of us. I can feel the anxiety from here, rising like steam from party hosts.
If, like me, you like to make most of the food you serve at parties (or, also like me, you can't afford to have it catered), do yourself a favor and prepare as much of it as you can before the day of the party.
Many foods like soups and chilies freeze wonderfully, so make them early.
Prep for dish ingredients - chopping, roasting, grating, etc - can also be done ahead of time, ready to be assembled on the day.
I put a list of items I'm making on the fridge with 3 columns: prepped, made, served. If dishes have more than one component (for example, herb butter for a squash soup, or homemade dip with vegetables), I list them together. This helps prevent the last minute "I forgot to make the salsa for the nacho dip!" or even worse, you forget to bring out part of the dish when serving.
As I go along, I add a check mark to each column.
Honestly, this is a life saver. It also is handy for anyone who is helping you serve. They can look at the list and know how many things they should be looking for.
Doing a lot of work beforehand means doing considerably less work on the day of the party. Plus, you are less likely to end up stuck in the kitchen while your guests are there. It's YOUR party. You deserve to have fun too.
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

By NANCY MADES-BYRD
---- — This stately Colonial home is a tribute to the beautiful things that can happen when the builder's 50-year-old home is completely upgraded, remodeled and re-imagined for the 21st century.
The 11-room home is situated on a lovely street in one of Wenham's most desirable neighborhoods — close to the parks, jogging paths, and quaint village shops that make Wenham a picture-perfect New England town. The paved stone pathway and plantings that welcome you to the home bespeak that it's a place of both Yankee pluck and genteel country living.
"The location of the home is ideal," said listing agent Peggy McNamara of Keller Williams Realty of Beverly. "It's a wonderful neighborhood of well-established homes and in this case, the home has been completely redone so it really has that brand-new feeling."
The first-floor living space comprises the oversized family room, the living room, and the dining room. The living and dining rooms each feature thoughtfully-designed fireplaces to add just the right ambiance whether the plan is for a simple family night at home or a large-scale holiday party. A combination of gleaming, highest quality hardwood floors and plush wall-to-wall carpeting through the house make for easy maintenance and homey luxury.
The kitchen, with its top-grade appliances, endless counter and cabinet space, and marvelous center island, will inspire those who can't boil water to learn and those who can, to expand their repertoire. The center island's additional sink is a welcome luxury for the home gourmet and the space is ideal for homework by day and dinner party buffet headquarters by night. The kitchen's spacious eat-in area overlooks the home's resort-style heated swimming pool. A bedroom that is currently being used as an office and a powder room complete this level.
Upstairs brings two generous bedrooms and the master bedroom suite. The upstairs dormers add charming little play or reading nooks to the smaller bedrooms while the expanse of space is left to the spacious master suite. Designed for those whose lifestyle requires a private, spa-like place to relax at the end of a busy day, the master suite offers a custom-built bath with double-vanity and a fantastic walk-in closet. "It's the perfect place to just relax and the closet was designed to allow for maximum storage," adds McNamara.
Walking out to the backyard finds the pool and patio area surrounded by professionally designed and maintained grounds that are at once impressive and lively enough to serve as a perfect play area. The perennial gardens and treeline bring home the bucolic Wenham setting.
The home is offered at $995,000. Listing agent is Peggy C. McNamara of Keller Williams Realty, 978-882-4455 or email@example.com.

Myers Becomes Second Straight Crusader to Earn Player of the Week Honors
Tuesday, November 29, 2005Valparaiso University's Carrie Myers (Stickleyville, Va./Lee H.S.) has been named a Mid-Continent Conference co-Player of the Week after helping lead the Crusaders to a second place finish at the National City Bank Xavier Invitational last weekend.
Myers averaged 19.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game for the Brown and Gold in an overtime win over Kent State and a lost to the host Musketeers. The junior scored a season-high 23 points, including six three-pointers, while grabbing a career-best eight rebounds against Kent State. Her three-pointer with 3.8 seconds remaining capped Valpo's 17-point second half comeback to force overtime. In the loss to Xavier, Myers led Valpo with 16 points while adding three rebounds and two assists.
Myers is the second straight player from Valpo to earn the honor as Betsy Rietema (Grand Rapids, Mich./Christian H.S.) earned the award last week. Myers shares co-Player of the Week accolades with Oakland's Nicole Piggot.

HOUSTON — Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. In the midst of the social media boom, has literature lost its lure? One local teen says "not a chance" and she's hoping to bring the focus back to books.
Claudia Heymach, a high school sophomore, came up with a wonderful idea to make reading a priority for local students.
"It was a bit of an experiment," she said. "Especially around the ages of middle school and elementary school where kids usually drop off reading in favor of electronics. So I really want to foster a love of reading in them."
Heymach holds book drives at HISD's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Her first collection brought in nearly 400,000 books.
"I was so excited! It's something that makes sense. Like, why haven't we been doing this," said Judith Switick, a creative writing teacher, said.
Claudia also hosts events with local kids through the Galveston-based "Smart Family Literacy" group and has started her own literacy club at school.
"Maybe around first grade I started reading chapter books, started loving reading. I think that's really my motivation," said Heymach.
Reading, she says, has helped her academic focus, in addition to giving her an artistic outlet.
Heymach has been featured in her school's literary magazine and her writing has won regional and national recognition.
"I always tell students, 'You get what you put into it' and she puts a lot into it. She's a beautiful poet and an outstanding student," said Switick.
Heymach is already planning another book drive and will start a mentoring program next year where HSPVA students will work with elementary school students to improve their reading and writing skills.

Masons' treasurer took £70,000 from his lodge (From Gazette)

Masons' treasurer took £70,000 from his lodge
Updated 8:11am Thursday 12th December 2013 in News
THE treasurer of a Colchester masonic lodge stole more than £70,000 from the group to pay off spiralling credit card debts.
A judge told Harry Traverse only his previous good character and abject shame meant he would stay out of jail for defrauding the St Giles Masonic Association, based in St John's Green, Colchester, over more than five years.
Traverse, 76, admitted six charges of theft when he appeared before Chelmsford Crown Court.
Retired engineer Traverse, 76, of Windsor Court, Brightlingsea, was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years.
Recorder Nigel Lithman told him: "You stole an exceptional sum of money.
"You were only thinking of yourself and as a result, you have now jeopardised a club where you were held in high esteem.
"They deserve better from you and you need to be better by your own high standards.
"My duty is to send out a message to the community this behaviour should not be tolerated."
However, the judge said he was being lenient because of Traverse's good character and obvious shame.
He explained: "You have committed a great wrong, but I amsatisfied you are a man of good character.
"In case my decision is ever reviewed, I have sat and looked you in the eye and made an assessment of your character."
Traverse became lodge treasurer in 1998 and started taking money from it in 2007, continuing until 2012, taking money three or four times a month, in an effort to to pay credit card bills.
He was caught after the Inland Revenue contacted the lodge about £70,000 it was owed in unpaid tax.
When questioned, he had immediately confessed.
The court heard Traverse had been expecting to inherit a significant sum and had planned to use this to repay the money he took from the association.
Instead, he received just a fraction of what he had expected – nowhere near enough to pay off his debt.
His lawyer, Matthew Swash, said his client had spent his own money on organisations for which he had been working.
He said: "He would work 30 hours a week, but never felt he could ask for help because he didn't want to accept he was in trouble.
"He has accepted he was wrong. He did not live a lavish lifestyle. The money was used to keep the wolves from the door.
"Mr Traverse knows his family is ashamed.
"He has said: 'I will die a criminal'.
"He is ashamed of who he is."

However the judge is being lenient because he's probably a Mason too.
The eye is in relation to the third eye which can be seen on the pyramidology symbol in The Grand United Lodge.
Look you in the eye and made an assessment of good character is a form of adjudication when seconded in open lodge.
Not many of them are on the square around here....I can vouch for the
Most brothers of JAHBAHLON in the courts hang around Chelmsford or London.

BPA Free Water Bottles – Which One is Right for You?
06.06.11 BPA Free Water Bottles – Which One is Right for You?
Many articles have been written about the health benefits of staying hydrated. Since nearly 2/3 of our bodies are comprised of water, it plays a vital role in our wellbeing. Among the many benefits to drinking water is that it helps to rid our bodies of toxins. So, when you make the choice to purchase a new water bottle, it's important to look for one that is free of harmful chemicals and toxins. You want your water bottle to be safe.
A vast majority of water bottles on the market are plastic, many of which contain the harmful chemical, Bisphenol A. BPA is an endocrine disruptor with estrogen-like effects. Even the alternative plastic water bottles which are said to be BPA free contain synthetic chemicals, the effects of which have not been sufficiently tested. Read more about BPA-free plastic and its potential risks.
We believe that small changes can make a big difference. When it comes to choosing a water bottle, we recommend choosing products made from glass or stainless steel. We've created this guide to help you narrow down your options for a safe, BPA free water bottle and have broken them down into the following categories:
- Straw Bottles
- Sports Cap Bottles
- Child Friendly Bottles
- Elegant Bottles
- Insulated Bottles
- Filtered Bottles
As you dive into this guide here are two important notes about how we choose products:
1. We only choose safe materials. Glass and 304 grade stainless steel are the core components of all of the following water bottles. We avoid plastic wherever possible and none of our water bottles have plastic as a core component. When plastic is part of the water bottle (in a sport cap for example), it is always free of BPA, PVC, lead and Phthalates.
2. Core to our mission is choosing the best products. We do not carry every safe water bottle, only the best and that is what is represented below.
So here we go.
Straw Bottles – Not Just for the Gym
There are certain instances when it's convenient to have a straw bottle rather than a spout or wide-mouth water bottle. If you exercise on a treadmill, unscrewing an open mouth bottle or tilting your head back to drink from a spout can cause you to lose your balance. Straw bottles are the perfect solution for those times when you just can't take your eyes off what you are doing.
- The SIPP, by Thermos is a 17 oz. straw bottle (pictured to the right) that will keep your beverage cold for up to 12 hours. With the convenient push button lid, there is nothing to unscrew or snap open and the lid is attached, so it can't be misplaced. ($28.50) *
- The Hydration Bottle, also by Thermos, is a stainless steel, 18 oz. straw bottle that's small enough to fit in most cup holders. The Hydration Bottle offers all of the same convenient features as the SIPP and is available in two fun, whimsical designs. ($22.99)
- For children who are too old for a Sippy cup, yet still too young for an open cup, the straw water bottle is ideal. We love the Foogo Leak-Proof Straw Bottle with it's easy to open, push-button lid. Its 10 oz. size means it's easy for little hands to grasp. And, with its sweat proof design and scratch resistant bottom, you'll be comfortable letting your child place it down anywhere in your house. ($16.50)
If you're hesitant to purchase a straw bottle because keeping the straw clean seems like a chore, all you need is this BPA free Sippy Straw Cleaner. At $3.99, these two rust free brushes will help ensure the longevity of your straw bottles and leave you with the peace of mind that the inside of the straw is free from bacteria.
Sports Cap & Screw Top Bottles – Perfect for "On the Go"
When it comes to choosing a sports bottle, there are several options. If you prefer an alternative to the straw bottle, a BPA free water bottle with a sports cap is ideal for high energy sports and weight training. A classic screw top bottle is another great option that allows for easy and quick hydration. Even if you aren't exercising, sports cap and screw top bottles are perfect for everyday use.
- The Klean Kanteen Classic (pictured to the right) is one of the most versatile water bottles available. Because it's made from food-grade stainless steel, the inside is free of any liners, which are typically found on aluminum bottles. Klean Kanteen comes in four convenient sizes and, with six different caps to choose from, your Klean Kanteen can be adapted to suit any need. ($14.95 – $18.45)
- The Klean Kanteen Wide, also available in four different sizes, has all of the same great features as the Classic, but without the wide selection of lids. The benefit to the Klean Kanteen Wide is that the width of the opening is large enough to easily accommodate ice cubes. In addition, pouring, refilling and cleaning a cinch. ($18.45 and $19.95)
- Thinksport insulated bottles are designed to keep beverages hot or cold for several hours. The hourglass design makes this bottle easy and comfortable to hold. The internal filter, or screen, keeps ice, lemon wedges and tea bags from blocking the spout while drinking. ($15.99 and $19.95)
- We love the EcoUsable Stainless Steel Water Bottle for its fun pipeline-grid design. The 33 oz. capacity makes this water bottle ideal for long outings or sporting events. If you are traveling with children, fill this bottle with extra liquid for easy individual water bottle refills. ($15.50)
Child Friendly Water Bottles – Easy to Use and Mess Free!
It's important for children to stay hydrated, especially during the summer, and with a fun water bottle at their side they won't have to be constantly reminded. There are several great BPA free water bottle options and the one you choose really depends on how and where it will be used.
- If you are traveling in the car, you'll want a bottle with a sports cap or straw to prevent spills. The Thermos FunTainer is a leak proof, pop-top straw bottle that is easily opened and closed by children of all ages. At 12 oz., it's big enough to satisfy any thirst, yet lightweight and small enough to fit into any car or booster seat cup holder. ($16.50)
- Your child's spirits will soar when they use this 24 oz. Funkalicious water bottle by Thermos. Perfect for an afternoon at the playground or as a desktop bottle at school, the pop-top lid and pour spout means staying hydrated isn't rocket science. ($14.95)
- Small, lightweight and leak-proof are the criteria that all moms look for in a lunch box water bottle. The Safe Sporter, 12 oz. water bottle (pictured to the right) is all of these things and more! With a pull spout top, spills are avoided and the flip top cover keeps the spout free of germs and bacteria during transport. ($14.95)
- For older children who may not want a sports top bottle at lunch, LifeFactory's Beverage Bottle is ideal. This 9 oz. glass bottle is leak proof and because it is encased in a non-toxic, non-plastic silicone sleeve, it's also durable. ($12.95)
Elegant Water Bottles – For Home or Office
Save your sports top bottles for the gym or around town. When you're at the office, the water bottle that you use should be sleek, elegant and, above all, silent. You'll be sipping in style with any one of these modern, BPA free water bottles. You'd be well on your way to the recommended 64 daily ounces of water with these bottles!
- If you're looking for something a bit more colorful to sit on your desk, you might consider the LifeFactory 22 oz. beverage bottle which comes in six different colors. This glass water bottle is heavy enough that it's sturdy, yet not so heavy that you can't take it with you on the go. The wide mouth easily accommodates ice and lemon wedges for the gourmet water drinker. This water bottle has a silicone sleeve that adds to its durability. A handy feature embossed on the sleeve of the bottle allows you to see the actual ounces of water. Also available is the 16 oz. size. ($19.95 - $20.95)
- Klean Kanteen's Reflect water bottle is a stainless steel 27 oz. container with a disc of sustainably harvested bamboo on the cap. What's great about this water bottle is that it is made solely of three materials (stainless steel, bamboo and a band of silicone in the cap) and is free of any plastic or paint. ($29.95)
- The Takeya glass water bottle is heavier than other office worthy models, but it's simplicity in design means it can be cleaned at the office and remain at the office, so there isn't a need to transport this bottle to and from home. The silicone sleeve protects this 16 oz. glass water bottle from breaking and makes it easy to hold. ($19.99)
Filter Water Bottles – Great for Travel and for Camping
There will be times when you are away from home and may not have access to a purified water source. For camping and traveling abroad, a water bottle with a built-in filtration system is your best defense against digestive upset.
- The EcoUsable stainless steel water bottle removes up to 99.99% of all pollutants. Its ionic-adsorption micro-filtration system is so effective that water can be retrieved straight from its natural source and immediately consumed. ($34.95)
Insulated Glass Bottle – For the Discerning Coffee or Tea Drinker
The Anchor Hocking Double Wall Insulated Glass Bottle is an 18 oz., sweat-free beverage bottle that keeps your drink hot – or cold – while remaining cool to the touch. ($9.95)
Although the features and aesthetics vary amongst the water bottles in this guide, there is one important commonality. Every bottle that we sell here at MightyNest is made from safe materials (predominantly glass and 304 grade stainless steel) and is BPA, PVC, phthalate and lead free, so you can be assured that the water bottle that you choose for your family is a safe alternative.

PORTLAND -- A new study from Germany shows men getting a certain hormone may be less likely to cheat.
The research is getting a lot of attention but a Portland Naturopath doubts the study.
"It doesn't take into account what happens with the men once they leave the lab or what's happening in their minds," explained Dr. Ken Weizer at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.
The hormone is oxytocin.
It's been called the kindness hormone since our bodies produce it when we cuddle or when women breastfeed their babies.
Some of the 86 men in the study were given oxytocin in a nasal spray while others received a placebo spray.
Results showed the men given the oxytocin who were in relationships stayed a farther distance away from unknown, attractive women.
"If you need contentment and you need to not cheat you should find another way besides putting oxytocin up your nose," remarked Dr. Weizer.
The hormone is already available online for about $30 a bottle. It's marketed as a way to improve your mood and love life. Dr. Weizer has a warning about adding more oxytocin to what your body already produces.
"We know very little about it as a replacement. It's not like getting the new IPAD. That's proven technology. You don't want to be on the cutting edge when it comes to hormones," he concluded.

Are Pricey Dorms 10 Times Better?
Housing options offer the easiest way to cut college costs.
One of the easiest ways to reduce the cost of college is also one of the most overlooked: Find cheaper dorms.
Most students don't realize that dorm bills at many public universities are actually higher than the tuition bills, says Sandy Baum, an economist for the College Board. Reducing living costs can yield far greater savings than, say, taking fewer credit hours. The average college student pays between $8,000 and $9,500 a year for room and board, the College Board reports. Typically, $2,500 to $4,500 of that total pays for food. In 17 states, the average in-state public tuition is less than $6,000 a year.
A U.S. News analysis of just the dorm costs of hundreds of colleges across the country shows opportunities for dramatic savings by shopping for colleges with cheaper dorms and by shopping for cheaper dorm options at each college. There's a startling variation of more than $10,000 between the price of a standard shared double at the most expensive dorms in the country and the cheapest.
Of course, the sky is the limit for students wanting privacy and space. Apartment-style dorms at New York University cost more than $17,000 per academic year, for example.
But even standard shared double rooms at schools such as Suffolk University in Boston and the New School in New York cost more than $12,000 for the nine-month school year.
[See 10 Schools With Pricey Dorms.]
That's more than nine times more expensive than the cheapest dorms in the country. Northwestern Oklahoma State University, for example, charges just $1,300 for a suite-style dorm room with free Internet, basic cable, and many other amenities. Add in $2,400 for a cafeteria contract, and students can live for just over $300 a month.
Similarly, students at Blackburn College in Carlinville, Ill., pay just $2,315 for a standard dorm room with free Internet and 80 cable channels.
[See 10 Schools With Cheap Dorms.]
Of course, there are reasons those dorms are so cheap. The colleges are in small towns with very low real estate costs and nowhere near the cultural amenities of expensive cities such as New York and Boston. The rural communities also have scant public transportation, which means most students end up having higher transportation costs, such as car payments.
And at Blackburn, students who want air-conditioned rooms have to pay an extra $1,000. Senior Katie Chronister says the non-air-conditioned rooms can be tolerable if students have a good window and fan. The rooms are not luxurious, but they are sufficient for most students' meager needs, she says. "Eighty channels is more than I could watch . . . . A place to sleep and do our homework is all it is."
Students looking for low living costs can also seek out well-ranked state universities in low-cost areas such as Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, Utah, and Wisconsin. Many public colleges in those states have such low dorm costs that their total sticker prices are comparatively affordable. At the University of Utah, a standard double room costs $3,100 per academic year per student. And tuition is less than $5,000.
But students aiming at pricey cities and elite campuses can also find surprising dorm bargains. Yale University's dorm costs of just $6,000 a year kept that Ivy League school's sticker price for tuition, fees, and room and board (but not books, travel, or other extras) to about $47,500 this year, which is lower than many other top-ranked private universities in lower-cost areas. In comparison, Vanderbilt University, which is also ranked in the top 20, charges at least $2,000 more for standard dorms. Its total sticker price exceeds $51,000. (On average, only about 25 percent of private-college students pay full sticker price. The rest get grants, averaging about $10,000, to reduce their out-of-pocket costs. About half of all public-university students get grants, but since their total costs are lower, their grants are much smaller.)
Most colleges also offer students cheaper dorm options. UCLA, which bills room and board together, will drop the standard room and board rate of $12,000 to about $10,600 for students who agree to share a room with two other students, instead of the standard one.

Marking the beginning of the Holiday season, Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day. While the term has existed since 1966 on the East Coast, it has been used all over the United States since the year 2000. Many retailers open at 5am or even earlier that Friday, as shoppers utilize their day off to take advantage of the great deals. Retailers often decorate for the Christmas and holiday season weeks beforehand and prep for the influx of eager shoppers ready to get a head start on their Christmas shopping.
"Black" was used as a slang term in the accounting industry. "In the black" meant that a business was making a profit, and this information was documented in black ink. If a business was "in the red," it was operating at a loss. Since the retail industry makes the majority of its profit within a 5-week period (from Black Friday to last day of the year), the name of the day is seemingly appropriate.
Lindt happily takes part in the Black Friday festivities by offering deals of our own; a free gift of a festive holiday filled bag with 100 Lindor Truffles of your choice at our Lindt Chocolate Shops or online.
Shortly after Black Friday, many retailers take part in Cyber Monday which takes place immediately on the Monday following Black Friday. Cyber Monday has been another busy day for online retailers as low prices and deals are often offered to consumers that day. Although the term has existed since 2005, it has been a popular shopping day since the early 2000′s. Shoppers who were unable to take advantage of the weekend deals and did not have a broadband connection at home, often signed online at work the following Monday to shop. Online retailers noticed an increase in sales and had begun offering the same deals the following Monday.
Lindt takes part in Cyber Monday by offering free shipping on certain orders, as well as gift cards.
Do you prefer to avoid the crowds and shop on Cyber Monday, see the deals in person on Black Friday or both?
