Bless the New York Times.com for publishing a list of the best online psychology tests. This is exactly the type of thing you need to sift through on a Friday when your mind cannot possibly focus on work. If your boss bitches, just tell them you’re learning about yourself in hopes that you can become an even more effective worker. Then make cross-eyes at him or her as they exit your office or cubicle. Proceed.
Once you dig into this list, you’ll find assessments such as:
* A Personality Test
* A Memory Test (I would so fail this one lately, I swear)

Not sure about yours, but my calendar is saying that summer is (gasp!) almost over! And while the underlying excitement of autumn’s sites and smells, routine schedules and child-free moments helps soften the blow, it’s always hard to say goodbye to such a carefree time of year like summer, is it not?
Well today you don’t have to. Because it’s Theme Day once again here at the b5 media Health & Wellness channel, and this month’s theme is all about eeking out that last bit of Summer Fun. Check out what our bloggers have to say:
We at Healthbolt believe that you …read more

Guys, this one’s for you (although I’d imagine the findings would hold true – or at least be similar – for womenfolk as well.)
Harvard scientists have found a cheap disease-fighter that you probably (hopefully) already do: Flossing your teeth!
In their research, they found that out of 50,000 guys, those with gum disease had a 30% to 50% greater risk of kidney, blood or pancreatic cancer. Why? Possibly because the inflammation caused by gum disease can egg on the growth of cancer cells.
The key, of course, is to floss daily. And brush, too. Ahem.
This has been your Healthbolt Easy Health Tip …read more

Hey, Austin, Texas! You guys are topping yet another list. In addition to having some of the ickiest restaurants in the nation, you are also some of the hardest partiers (maybe that’s why you don’t notice if a restaurant is filthy, eh? Um, sorry, bad joke.)
Anyway, Texans may be the toppers, but Midwesterners aren’t far behind. In fact, Midwest towns capture close to half of the top 15 slots. Who else made the list? Check them out here, adapted from a Forbes.com slideshow (complete with awesome photos):
1. Austin, TX
2. Milwaukee, WI
3. San Francisco, CA
4. Providence, RI
5. Chicago, IL
8. Seattle, WA …read more

Earlier in the week, I talked about the well-known G-Spot and lesser-known A-Spot that seemingly turn women into sexual mush (if you are able to find them, that is!)
And contrary to popular belief, men also have “spots” – and it’s not their entire member. While that’s certainly a hot zone as well, according to Cosmo, men actually have 7 – yes 7! – different “Moan Zones.” Check them all out here, as well as explicit directions on how to stimulate these areas for mind-blowing manly excitement.
Another Cosmo gem: 3 types of sex men crave. A fun read with plenty of …read more

Bored with the traditional pedicure? Then hop on over to a Washington DC-area salon where teeny carp are used eat away the dead skin on your feet, leaving them smooth as a baby’s bum.
Sound creepy?
It may be a little, but it’s becoming all the rage. So far, over 5,000 customers have indulged in this treatment that feels like your foot fell asleep – just a tickling and tingling.
The fish at-the-ready, known as doctor fish, thrive in hot water where plants and other food sources are not readily available. Consequently, the fish have learned to feed on whatever they can find, …read more

Last week, I asked you guys to tell me what you want to know more about in the, ahem, bedroom department. And one of you said “sex positions.” Well, lucky thing, I ran a feature on this very thing back in April. Give it a look – it points you in some fun directions (literally) and all but guarantees a great time.
I want you to know I’m still on the hunt for more sites, but mind you, some of them are a smidge graphic. I’ll keep you posted though.
As for the prolonging orgasms / multiple orgasms request, consider me on …read more

Pink Ribbon Review blogger Karen Lynch recaps the dependent days that followed her double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery …read more

Relay for Life: We’ve all heard about it. Most of us have supported it in one way or another. And, most importantly, many, many of us know someone who is currently or has been affected by cancer. To say that nearly everyone has been touched by this disease in one way or another is a complete understatement.
So…with the Relay for Life walks on this summer’s schedule, are you going to participate? Have you formed a group with friends or coworkers to walk? If not, and you’d still like to get involved, head over to Second Life next weekend. There you …read more
