Seriously haunted cemeteries....
One such case was a man named Malcolm that we encountered in a New York Cemetery. He had been a groundskeeper there in life, for many years, and he held that job as very important. He was convinced that even in death his services were still needed. The final resting place of those that he cared for over the years had gone to ruin, it is now in what is considered and obviously apparent in the worse part of town. The cemetery is overrun with weeds, tombstones barely visible any longer for debris. It is full of trash, people throwing the nearby fast-food bags over the fence and beer and soda cans strewn on the ground. We saw....

Soon 39-day trips to Mars ..
There's a growing chorus of calls to send astronauts to Mars rather than the moon, but critics point out that such trips would be long and gruelling, taking about six months to reach the Red Planet. But now, researchers are testing a powerful new ion engine that could one day shorten the journey to just 39 days.
Traditional rockets burn chemical fuel to produce thrust. Most of that fuel is used up in the initial push off the Earth's surface, so the rockets tend to coast most of the time they're in space.

Obama and 2012..???
Nostradamus strikes again. Google “Obama”, “Antichrist”, 2012… and I predict you will get a massive number of hits. There are circulating on the worldwide web some really idiotic but also possibly dangerous rumours, featuring Nostradamus, Barack Obama, Antichrist III and the End of the World (2012). The theories are extremely silly, undoubtedly. But they get quite dangerous too when you think of the idiots who might be taking some action, just because of that sort of rumours. They created already an “Osama Obama Shotgun Pool” in Maine, because they just KNOW Obama is the AntiChrist (his name rhymes with Osama....,

Cooler Than Ever....
The cavernous lobby of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art is jammed with people, but it is impossible to miss Alex Katz. The artist famous for his bright figurative paintings is standing by the information desk wearing a parka so blindingly orange it looks radioactive. Orange is one of Katz's favorite colors, and the jacket, adorned with reflective silver strips, is the kind that a guy on a road crew might wear to direct traffic in a rainstorm. But this French-made parka is downright chic, rather like its owner, who looks at least a decade younger than his 82 years, with a smooth head (he shaves it daily) and features as sharp as those of the suave figures who populate his paintings...,

Fiber...
Essential to Everyone
Everyone benefits from eating more fiber - not just the person with diabetes. Experts agree that fiber has many health benefits, from improving digestion, to protecting against colon cancer, and now some experts believe that it prevents you from absorbing some of the fat that you've consumed. Sadly, most of us find it hard to consume the recommended amount of fiber (25 to 30 grams) in our daily diet.
Here's some ways to increase the fiber in your diet:

Back pain
Back pain and exercise
It's the rare adult who has not had low back pain at sometime during his/her life. Fortunately, most episodes of low back pain will heal with time. Approximately 50% of patients will feel relief within two weeks and 90% within three months, regardless of the treatment. The majority of low back pains are due to muscular strain which will resolve with time because muscles have a good blood supply to bring necessary nutriments and proteins for healing to take place.
For persons with low back pain that lasts more than two or three months, or with predominantly leg pain, a specific and definite problem is often the source of the pain. In younger adults (20-60 year olds)............More Details...
