Nasa Discovers Earthlike Planet | Scienceray

NASA has discovered an earthlike planet with the Kebler Telescope. Amazingly it could be as our earth was millions of years ago, covered entirely with water and ready to support water life. It isn’t too cold or too hot and it has it’s own star similar to our own sun. How exciting, earth enhabitants might even be able to watch this newly discovered planet become fully inhabited within millions of years.

It relieves their boredom and suffering to have something interesting to look forward to every day. Thank you Ryan Seacrest.

A Guideline of Treatment for Gout Patients | Healthmad

Gout is a painful disease. It usually last for a few days at a time, but attacks can occur often and become chronic. Damage done by chronic gout can force some patients to have surgery. If you have gout, you’ll want to take action, not just to prevent surgery but also to minimize complications such as kidney stones which are common among gout sufferers. Today drugs are the first ling of defense but you still aren’t home free. Side effects are common and alternative treatment may be necessary. Following a special diet may be your best alternative treatment.

Do you hate to have your photo shot? Do you run and hide when you see someone with a camera because the camera hates you? Well, do I have good news for you. With these tips the camera will love you and you will never run away again. A turn of the chin, a mood adjustment and a few body angles make all the difference. Try it and see if I’m lying.

Energy Efficient Appliances with Rebates | Gomestic

f you have intended to trade in your old but working dishwasher and refrigerator for blue label energy efficient ones, now it the time, especially if your appliances are over fifteen years old. The government and some manufactures are handing out rebates from $50 to $250 dollars for your replacements. You might think energy efficient appliances are priced much higher than regular ones but usually they are not. Price is based more on features and finishes.

The Mayonnaise Jar and The Two Beers | Quazen

I heard this little story awhile back and I don’t remember where I heard it but it stuck in my mind and I would like to share it with you. It’s a lesson for all of us when we think there is room for nothing more in our lives. It shows that we can always extend ourselves to make room for the necessary and all the small things that makes life happy and meaningful.

Use Your Dish and Clothes Washer Efficiently | Gomestic

With these days of high energy costs, it behooves us to go as lightly on energy consumption as possible. Dishwashers are especially efficient. They use less energy than washing dishes by hand. Clothes washers are comparable if cool or cold water is used. The use of hot water can spike up your power bill. The good news is that the new fabrics don’t need hot water, and work clothes can be presoaked and pretreated for grease and stains before beginning the washing cycle.

Lower Your Ceiling and Save Energy | Gomestic

If you have high ceilings and your energy bill is eating up your budget, there is a way to fix it. If you are a do it your selfer all the better. This job isn’t too difficult if you have any experience in doing home repairs your self. These acoustical tiles are set in prefabricated metal channels suspended from the ceiling joists on wires. Establishing and holding a level is the hardest part.

Chick-fil-a’s Truett Cathy and Richard Yadkowski | Gomestic

Truett Cathy is a man who believes in giving back. Coming from a poor Georgia family he built the largest fast food chain in history. At the age of 90 he still keeps a hand in the business and cares for his foster children. He founded Win-Shape foster homes in 1987. Children are dear to Cathy’s heart. As a result Chick-fil-A sponsors foster homes in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. Richard Yadkowski came from one of the foster homes in Rome, Georgia. He like Truett Cathy believes in giving back.

Physicians and The New Medicine | Healthmad

It’s a new day for medicine. It’s out with the old and in with the new. Who knows if it will be better or worse than the old system, but let’s hope for the best because we’re going to have it whether we like it or not. From the explanations I hear, it sounds better for patients. Doctors performance will be tracked and they will be held accountable. Patient satisfaction will be taken into consideration. In some hospitals the mortality rate for heart surgery has dropped from two percent to less than 0.5 percent in a year. Some physicians like the idea of working as team players and drawing a salary. Others still like to be captain of the ship. We will soon know if the new medicine is better or worse than the old way.

How Me and Sister Got Christmas Presents for The Younguns | Quazen

Me and Sister got our Christmas shoppin done. We got all the younguns their Santa Claus. Bless their little hearts they will have Christmas this year. But honey, Sister has wore out my last nerve. She has tore it out and stomped on it. I swear I won’t go Christmas shoppin with Sister no more. Now, I know I say that every year but this time I mean it. You just ought to see Sister slinging them people out of her way. She just runs wild when she gets to them sales. I’m afraid the police will come in and haul her off. Anyways, I’ve had it with Sister this year and we ain’t even started cookin for Christmas yet.

Einstein and The Big Bang Theory | Scienceray

When Astronomers today say they are following Einsteins theory of relatively, they are actually not. Einstein never accepted the Big Bang theory. Partially because he made two mistakes in his original theory. Partially because Einstein said the Big Bang theory made no sense. He never in his lifetime accepted the Big Bang as the way our universe came into being or Black Holes. He always looked for another explanation.

Retouched Photos of Models and Celebrities Damaging to Girls | Healthmad

Retouched photos in glamor magazines and other advertising venues are doing serious damage to young girls. If these photos are banned it will be a step up for the physical health of young girls in the United States and Europe. Europeans and the U.S. have long complained about the psychological and physical damage these retouched photos do to girls. Trying to live up to this image of beauty is an unreality which is impossible to achieve. They are the cause of anorexia, bulimia, and death in more cases than we like to admit.

Learn to be a Happy Family | Gomestic

Every parent wants their children to lead happy lives. So how do we guide our kids in that direction? The most effective solution is for parents to be happy positive people. Kids are looking and listening at their parents. It might not always seem that way, but what they learn at home with their parents will become a part of them for life. Learn to be appreciative and positive about your life and teach the kids to do the same.

A Message to My Triond Friends | Writinghood

A Message to My Triond Friends | Writinghood

It hasn’t happened to me too many times so I’ll get over it. I want to apologize to my Triond friends and tell you how sorry I am that I have been unavailable to comment on your work for the last couple of days, but I hope to be back in the grove soon if nothing else happens. I was at the hospital with family and now I must get Christmas shopping and cooking done. We will have Christmas visitors on Tuesday and we siblings are having our annual Christmas get together on the 17th. One set of grandkids will be coming in on the 21st from Arizona . Others from Savannah and Virginia a couple of days later. I will be so happy to see them all. We don’t see them near enough. It will be a busy time and I’m sure many of you will have a busy holiday also. There is so much to do, and I will love every minute of it.

How to Manage Anger Attacks | Socyberty

If you are easy to get angry and fly off the handle, there are strategies to get to the bottom of the situation and perhaps find a solution. Holding a grudge is detrimental to your health and happiness. Don’t deny and cover up your anger but face it and learn to control your reaction to it. You can learn to get your point across rather than blowing up at a person who takes a different view, or you can walk away until you have better control of yourself.

Please check out a young writer who has just published his first book. He is a veteran of two tours of duty in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan. You will find him on twitter: @authorDWHawkins

You Can Control Your Stress | Healthmad

Stress gets to the best of us. Heavy traffic, running late, too many bills and too little money. We can work ourselves into headaches and all sorts of health problems. Even a TV droning in the background can stimulate the release of fight or flight hormones. Chronic clutter is another cause of stress. There are many triggers. The trick is to learn how to deal with them. We will never be free of stressful situations. But we can learn to control how we react to them.

Easy Eddie and Butch O’Hare | Scienceray

I didn’t write this article, it was passed on to me by Henry Henderson and it was passed to him by Donald Watson. I thought it was a fantastic story and wanted to share it with you. Triond might not publish it since it isn’t my own writing but I’ll give it a good try. The stories are said to be true, but I have no personal knowledge of them. I hope you enjoy these amazing stories as much as I did.

Two Stories (Below) BOTH TRUE – and worth reading!!!!

STORY NUMBER ONE

Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago. Capone wasn’t famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder.

How to Take Care of Your Piano | Quazen

Your piano is probably one of the most valuable pieces of furniture in your house, and the one thing you and your family gets the most enjoyment from. Keeping it clean is essential for a good performance. There are correct ways to keep it looking fresh and polished without stains and scratches. A little time spent caring for your piano will go a long way to keeping it beautiful forever.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s Death | Socyberty

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt was much admired as the wife of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She was one of his best ambassadors. She worked tirelessly for the poor and disadvantaged. It was her great misfortune to be misdiagnosed and treated with a medication that hastened her death at the age of seventy-eight. Her doctors errors were covered up until the year of 1981 when two doctors wrote about it in the Baltimore Sun.

Lessons Kids Need to Learn | Gomestic

Kids are smarter than you think. They can learn quickly if provided with the opportunity. Who but you, the parent, taught them to expect presents and too much of everything to appreciate anything? They were not born with such high expectations. Okay, you are happy to be able to provide so much, but is it helping or hurting the kids? Many parents are feeling the pinch with jobs lost and working hours cut back. The wherewithal isn’t there anymore. Some parents have raided their hard earned savings to continue gym classes and name brand jeans. It isn’t in the best interest of you or your children.

Classic Navy Blue is Back | Gomestic

We ladies do enjoy decorating and making changes in the house. Especially before the holidays when family and friends will be dropping in. There is good news for anyone who plans to redo the house before Christmas. Navy blue is back. It was popular several years ago, but it quietly died away. Now glossy navy blue is going strong again. For walls, cabinets, furniture and slip covers, decorators are using it everywhere.

Hungry Children in America | Socyberty

We have children in America who go to bed every night hungry. The shame is that we grow plenty of food for our citizens and ship food to other countries. So why must our children suffer hunger? There are programs in place. But there is a stigma in accepting free food. Besides that problem, many people who qualify never know food is available. Georgia is hoping to change that.

New Treatments for Irritable Bowel Syndrome | Healthmad

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a painful condition that many people suffer from. It causes pain, bloating, constipation and an uncomfortable stomach. Some patients say treatments available do not control pain or symptoms. But the good news for sufferers is alternative treatments are available. There are options and the same treatment doesn’t work for everyone. Hypnosis works for some people, and cognitive therapy works for others. Some patients use both treatments.

Romney Wants to Privatize The VHA | Socyberty

Mitt Romney wants to dismantle the present system of Veterans Health Care and replace it with privatization, even though the VHA provides better care for veterans than private citizens receive, and at less cost. Why change a program that’s working? Ask a Republican. It’s their fundamental believe that the private sector can do a better job than the government. Anyone can look at our Health Care System with insurance companies, doctors and hospitals all working for profit and see how that works. It puts half the population out of any kind of healthcare.

Ian Flemming and James Bond | Socyberty

Ian Fleming was the author of the James Bond novels. Plots, action, adventure, and beautiful women all wrapped up in an exciting package. We could hardly wait for the next book, and later the movies. We had had nothing like it before. 007 was the man of romance and action. Although Ian Fleming had seen no personal action, he was a key aide to Britain’s head of naval intelligence, and he had a great imagination and a golden typewriter. We are all the richer for Ian Fleming.

Correct Portion Sizes of Food | Notecook

Correct Portion Sizes of Food | Notecook

It’s very important to know the correct portion sizes of food. Sometimes we load our plate with good healthy food but in the wrong proportions. Learning the correct portion size will lessen the risks of disease. The food you choose every day, and correct portion sizes has a huge impact on staying healthy and disease free. The plan below is loaded with nutrients and is great for the whole family. Ask your doctor about correct portion sizes for your children.

How to Make Southern Biscuits | Notecook

How to Make Southern Biscuits | Notecook

If you have ever eaten good Southern biscuits you know what I’m talking about. They are melt in your mouth good. Put that sweet butter in there with some blackberry jam, pour yourself a hot cup of coffee and sit back and eat. I used to make them every morning for breakfast and sometimes for dinner and supper. I don’t do that anymore but I do make Southern style biscuits often. They still taste just as delicious. Try my recipe for Southern biscuits and see if you agree with me.

Organize Your Home for The New Year | Gomestic

Clutter can take over the house before you realize it. One day you look around and wonder how it happened without you noticing. With holidays and the New Year coming the time is right to make a plan and get organized. Get all the family in on the act. Clean out all the drawers and closets. Find pretty baskets and containers for must haves and box up the rest for charities or thrift stores. A few ideas are here to help you get started.

Stop Smoking, be a Quitter | Healthmad

We know how bad cigarette smoking is for the human body. Smoking causes more diseases of the heart and lungs than any other single thing. It’s easy enough for non smokers to tell those addicted to nicotine to just stop smoking, but it isn’t that simple. It can be done. Many smokers quit every day that thought they couldn’t be free of the nicotine habit. It isn’t easy but with determination and the desire for good health and a longer life, why not do it now?

Bad hair days happen, sometimes weeks of bad hair days. If your hair is dry with split ends or if hair is thinning, it’s a big worry. Blame heat and chemicals on most hair problems. For others such as thinning hair, you should see your doctor. There are lots of reasons and only your doctor can order tests to get at the root of the problem. Alopecia effects 30 million women in the United States and the good news is that Women’s Rogaine has now been approved by the FDA.

Stop Bullies at School | Socyberty

Most of us knew a few bullies at school. We dealt with it and usually it didn’t give us too much trouble. It’s different today. Kids are more vicious. Why that is we don’t know. Bullies pick on those who are most venerable. Those who are the least likely to tell. These unfortunate kids live their school days in fear. Often they don’t tell because they are ashamed. We’re to the point that kids are committing suicide to escape the abuse. It’s time parents put a stop to it.

How Do We Overcome Our Natural Tendencies | Socyberty

With all the self help books telling us how blameless and wonderful we are, it’s no wonder we often, if not always, look to blame someone else for all our deficiencies, rather than looking at our own wayward selves. Over the course of history we have stood by and allowed atrocious things to happen. The Holocaust, the Rwandan genocides and street crimes in our own neighborhoods. We believe we would but the truth is, very few of us stand up and do the right thing when the stakes are down.

Sister’s Delicious Candied Yams | Notecook

Honey, tomorrow is Thanksgiving and it’s time to load the table down with turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, cranberries and all the fancy dishes for the family. Folks will be coming out of the woodwork for all the good eats. I’m so thankful that Sister is the one with the magic touch when it comes to making tasty food. Everybody knows I can’t cook so they don’t bother me. Sometimes I get right sorry for Sister with all that jim jammin going in her kitchen. Why, she hardly gets to sit down for days. I do help her a right smart so I don’t feel too guilty when I’m settin at her table. (Don’t be shocked, this is only another Sister piece of writing.) Her Candied yams are just as good as I say, no joke about that. Sister really exists and gets a laugh out of these sister stories. She enjoys a bit of fun as well as the next one.

The Perfect Pie Crust | Notecook

f you are like me, you are always looking to make the perfect pie crust, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I like my pie crusts nice and flaky and tender enough to melt in your mouth. I have tried first one recipe and another and improvised occasionally. The following recipe is my all time favorite and it never fails. Just be sure your butter is thoroughly chilled and don’t skimp on the resting time. It’s perfect for fruit or cream pies and it always holds up. Be sure to butter your pie pan well if you’re making fruit pies so it doesn’t stick to the pan.

Blood Pressure Control | Healthmad

Blood Pressure Control | Healthmad

Chances are the first thing that happens in your doctor’s office is the nurse wraps a blood pressure cuff around your arm. It’s a simple test with no pain involved but it’s a very important test. As blood runs through your arteries, it places pressure on the artery walls. If the pressure is too high, the arteries will stretch and tear. The scar tissue then forms a substance called plaque, leading to blockages. If it isn’t kept under tight control, you will be at risk for heart attack, stroke, heart attack and kidney failure.

My grandson, D.W. Hawkins is a gifted writer who has served his country for the last ten years as Crew Chief of the Black Hawk. He served two deployments in Iraq and his last deployment was in Afghanistan. During these hectic years he has spent every spare moment writing what I believe will be a best seller. "The Sentient Fire" will be out in November. Dan has always been a fan of Fantasy and this fantasy is the best story of that genre I have yet to read. I feel privileged to be one of the few he has allowed to see parts of his book. The following is Daniel introducing his, "Sentient Fire" I hope everyone will support him in his endeavors.

Three Super Foods | Notecook

We have many super healthy foods that we should eat every day. They help us maintain our health and prevent some health problems. These are only three of them. Nutrition is a powerful aid in our fight against iron deficiency, anemia, and obesity among many other unhealthy conditions. Being cautious about the foods we eat is one of the things we can do to continue to have a healthy body and mind. The right foods will prevent some disease and will lessen the symptoms of others. In fact, if we knew enough about nutrition we might be able to prevent and cure many of the diseases that plague us.

Essential Fatty Acids (Fish Oil) Reduces Child’s Health Risks | Bizcovering

Essential fatty acids are recommended for children from the beginning of the mother’s pregnancy and through breast feeding. Mothers who do so reduce the child’s risk of asthma, infections, allergies and ADHD. Essential fatty acids are essential for brain development and function. It’s never too early to include fish oil in your child’s diet.

Rootie Tootie Cake and Fruit Compotes | Notecook

Our moms used to love to cook, that’s what folks claim when they talk about the huge spreads our mothers laid on the table. And maybe it’s true. I tend to think our moms didn’t have the advantages of boxed mixes and ready to cook fruits and vegetables that we have today. They had no other choices than spending hours in the kitchen preparing meals from scratch. Thank goodness, that’s not true today. We can buy a box of cake mix or a bag of frozen fruits or vegetables and make just about any dish we like in a short time. But just in case we didn’t have time to shop and company is coming, hurry up and bake the Rootie Tootie cake below while hubby runs out and buys some fruit and wine.

Brighten Up Your House | Gomestic

Is your house dull? Why not brighten it up a bit and make it more inviting? It isn’t too hard to paint moldings and window surrounds in a contrasting color, or going whole hog and painting the entire walls and ceilings. You can also paint the inside of bookcases and cabinets with contrasting color or with a pretty wallpaper. Make a few new slip covers and covering sofa pillows in bright colors. You’ll be surprised at what a few changes will add to your decor.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Pies | Notecook

Everyone has heard the expression "As American as apple pie" and it’s true. Apple pie is the number one favorite of Americans. We eat more apple pies than any other nation. Although England is credited with making the first fruit pies or "fruit tarts." By the turn of the 18th century pie was an American symbol of pride, honesty and plenty. A hundred years ago a young man would often present his wife with a rolling pin as a wedding gift. Where farmers ate pie three times a day, it was a welcome gift.

The stress and strain of the partner caring for the loved one is your worst nightmare. It is devastating. No medicine at present can do anything but slow the disease. Researchers are working on treatments they hope will slow Alzheimer’s progress even more, and hopefully stop it completely. At present a cure is only a dream of the future.

Liver Transplant Controversy | Healthmad

A controversy is going on between doctors about the necessity of alcoholics remaining sober for six months before a liver transplant. Some doctors think it’s unfair to make a patient wait six months rather than preforming a transplant when an organ is available. Others say if the patient can’t remain sober for six months, they wont remain sober after the surgery, and a valuable organ will be wasted.

U.s. Veterans Return From Iraq and Afghanistan | Socyberty

Our veterans are coming home by the thousands to no jobs and families who depend on them for support. Civilians have forgotten about the sacrifices our young people have made during the long ten year war. As much as civilians need the few jobs available, these veterans need and deserve them even more.

The Martin Luther King Legacy | Socyberty

Martin Luther King is thought of by the public as history’s property but his family doesn’t see it that way. They have copyrights on his speeches and images. Philippi Loengard, assistant director of the Kernochan Center for Law, Media and the Arts at Columbia University, said while she understands why the family might guard how King’s image is used, "they are one of the most careful concerned and on top of image protectors I’ve ever met. They are very aggressive.

Female soldiers have taken on a new role in the Military. They are now traveling with special forces to do things that are impossible for male soldiers to do, such as searching burqa clad women and identifying insurgents posing as women. The first group of female soldiers went into the field last January deploying to Afghanistan with Army Rangers and Special Forces.

Recycled Glass is ECO Friendly | Quazen

Recycled glass is earth friendly and looks beautiful when made into counter tops, back splashes, walls and even to line swimming pools. With loads of glass bottles going into land fields, it makes good sense to make something useful and beautiful from it. Recycled glass is unique and it shows an eco friendly attitude.

Protect Your Skin From Sun Damage | Healthmad

Sun damage to skin can lead to cancer, eye damage, premature aging and suppression of the immune system. Using sunscreen is essential to our health and well being. It takes about one ounce of sunscreen to cover the body correctly, more for a larger person, that’s about two teaspoons full. One eight ounce bottle of sunscreen will cover about 16 hours in the sun. An SPF of 15, experts say is all all right for a short while in the sun, but use an SPF of 30 or higher and apply it every two hours if you are out several hours.

New Trends in Home Lighting | Quazen

New trends in lighting make your home brighter and saves energy. It’s a fact that most people under light their homes. Home decorators say that lighting is the unsung hero in interior design. Lighting is often overlooked while planning the obvious elements. Owners generally spend just three to 10 percent on lighting, but lighting can transform a mediocre home into a thing of beauty. Good lighting can dramatically alter the look of your home.

Career Women Opt Out of Motherhood | Gomestic

The United States birth rate is falling. Career women between the ages of thirty and forty years are opting out of motherhood. These are highly educated women who have successful careers. They make good salaries but still owe hefty loans that paid for their education. These women are the latch key generation who had less security and home life than previous generations. They have more choices than their mothers and grandmothers and they are choosing not to have babies.

Tackle Those Tough Cleaning Jobs | Webupon

Greasy dishes and stove tops are the jobs I hate most to tackle, or did until I learned the easy way to clean them up fast. The same ingredient works just as well in the bathroom for messy sinks, scummy tubs and shower walls. It’s a miracle cleaner that costs pennies and works wonders in the home.

Bank and Credit Card Fees | Gomestic

Bank and credit card fees can eat you up. For less cost find a small community bank that doesn’t charge extra fees. In this economy every penny saved is a penny earned and we need all our pennies. Cash advances cost extra money so try to avoid them. Pay off your credit cards every month, even if you have to scrimp. It’s worth it not having to pay extra fees. Do what you can to make do and when the economy is better you wont owe a bundle.

Build a Healthier Community | Healthmad

By building a healthy community awareness we will not only increase our family’s awareness of health issues, but also our friends and neighbors. Simple things you and your neighbors can do will greatly reduce risks of illnesses. Talk to your friends and see if you can come up with a plan to get the whole community involved. Adults could volunteer at Community Health Centers. Speak to someone who burns leaves and doesn’t know the danger. Or maybe kids and adults are sedentary. It could be fun for whole families to join together in activities.

More Old Folk Sayings | Socyberty

I said in the first article I wrote how much I love these Old Folk Sayings, but in case you haven’t read the first article, I will repeat myself. I grew up hearing all these colorful sayings every day. I didn’t know how unique we were at the time and I didn’t appreciate our heritage as I do now.

Our people came from Ireland, Scotland, Germany and England. They brought the Old World language with them to the North Georgia hills and kept it much longer than other parts of America. It has all but disappeared now and it makes me sad to see it go.

D.W. Hawkins and The Sentinel Fire | Writinghood

My grandson, D.W. Hawkins is a gifted writer who has served his country for the last ten years as Crew Chief of the Black Hawk. He served two deployments in Iraq and his last deployment was in Afghanistan. During these hectic years he has spent every spare moment writing what I believe will be a best seller. "The Sentinel Fire" will be out in November. Dan has always been a fan of Fantasy and this fantasy is the best story of that genre I have yet to read. I feel privileged to be one of the few he has allowed to see parts of his book. The following is Daniel introducing his, "Sentinel Fire" I hope everyone will support him in his endeavors.

A Bad and Better Choice of Fast Food Breakfast Items | Quazen

Yes, we know how bad fast food is for our health, but sometimes through no fault of our own, it’s unavoidable. Even so, we can look for lower calorie items. We might be able to find fruit, yogurt and eggs. If not, there are still some items on the menu that are not as calorie laden as others. We ladies have to watch our figures.
