Check out the new giveaway and we have a winner

Omega369Future contest alert: Check this blog to see if you have won. You have a week to claim your prize. I'll keep all names in the colander through July but you can increase your chances my leaving more comments on the blog and via the list of suggestions below.


I have an old aluminum kitchen colander here with somewhere over 100 people in it, in some cases multiple times. Diane earned extra points for pasting information about the website across the Internet, to the sad exclusion of StumbleUpon, which may well be why Marjorie won instead last time. Pilar is sure that only leaving a comment means that you don't have a check to win since all entrants are able to earn points doing any of the following:

• Friend me or follow me on Facebook(here) or Twitter(here): 1 point each
• Stumble this entry, one of the food science pages, or anything that has caught your fancy.: 1 point.
• In Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, or LinkedIn provide a link to some of the content here (see the recent food science post for a lot of ideas): 1 point
• Provide a link to this contest from your blog: 2 points (but gosh, this just increases your competition, LOL)
• Blog about some of the content on this website (see the recent food science post for a lot of ideas): 3 points

I had to copy that list from the old post because the list itself is no inane there is no way I can remember it.

Gentle e-mail messages to me have suggested the same:

"I have to do *what* to enter the contest?"

Technorati Tags: , , , ,

Not being a big stickler for rules (except that you are guaranteed those points if you play), I awarded Pat extra points for emailing me a great video about sheep with lights on which I hope to figure out how to post.

So what you have to do to enter is nothing if you are already in the colander. If you want to be in the colander a few more times, you can do anything on that list or leave a comment or two on this blog.

However, moving forward, winners need to email me with your mailing address if you win. I'll give you a week after the announcement to breeze through here and check out the latest winners. If it's you, make a speech in the comment section, take a bow, send me a sheep video, or email me.

The winner

The winner this week is a new friend on Facebook so she would likely hear the big announcement, but for the sake of our on-going examination of Pilar's claim (that you don't have a chance if you only leave a comment), every piece of paper in this colander indicates how that point was won. Our winner won this contest simply by leaving a comment! She did have other points that increased her chances, but the winning ticket came from her original comment on this blog.

Barbara Centofante is the winner of a super supplement package.

Congratulations Barbara.

Barbara will receive a high-Omega 3 fish oil, a B complex vitamin, and an ionic fizz magnesium product.

Future winner: You?

Leave a comment to increase your chances or do anything in the list above. Be sure to check on the posts to see if you won. I plan to announce winners on Tuesdays and Fridays.

This coming Tuesday, I will give away a desiccated liver product that is really great for energy.

U.S. only please for the supplements. Sorry!

About



Amanda Rose, Ph.D., is a political scientist and author of "Rebuild from Depression," on the link between nutrient deficiencies and depression. She has been depression-free for over four years, even during the recent pregnancy of her second child. Read her postpartum depression success story.

Depression buster foods




From an analysis of over 5,000 foods in the USDA nutrient database, "depression buster foods" are the foods highest in combination of the seven nutrients most commonly associated with depression. Brains need nutrients to be healthy, particularly those nutrients in these foods for depression. The depression buster food list is published in the book "Rebuild from Depression." A subset are displayed here in the depression buster photo album.

Omega 3 foods




Omega 3 fatty acids are critical for brain health and they are disappearing in the Western diet. You need to consume more Omega 3s and fewer Omega 6s. These photos and descriptions of Omega 3 foods will offer you some guidance. Omega 3 fatty acids are one nutrient that helps fight depression. Read more about the Rebuild philosophy on depression-fighting foods.

Gill on the Hill:
Life after depression


There really is life after depression. I am so excited by that point, in fact, that I neglect this blog and find fun/quirky projects to do with my family. We live in the Sequoia National Forest in a house (and former brothel) designed by Irving Gill. My 7-year-old son Frederick and I chronicle our adventures at Gill on the Hill when we're not exploring. Frederick posts some of his homeschool projects at "Frankly Frederick."
