Bullet Points – RuPaul's Drag Race 04:09
Finally! Candidates worth believing in, people! If anything this is a challenge that shows once again the queens need to bring their imagination and resourcefulness to the table.
So let's poke some chads (pun intended) and stuff some ballot boxes (pun intended) and get to it.
- Willam really left an impression, didn't she?
- That mini challenge was certainly something, wasn't it? And Jeffrey Moran was his usual, Absolut-ly vexing self. Yes he's cute but he's like a fangless Michelle Visage.
- Phi Phi wins the mini challenge. Tacky ho! Sorry, I am OVER HER.
- This challenge was pretty awesome in that it showed the intelligence and smarts of the girls.
- So he may get on my nerves, and the It Gets Better campaign is a little wrong-headed in my eyes (and by that I mean while these kind words are great it does nothing about the here and now of bullied kids), all of that said Dan Savage was a spectacular judge. I'll go even further; one of, if not the best guest judges in the show's history. Incisive questions during the workroom walk through, smart commentary on the judges's panel – color me impressed.
- Chad served funky white girl on the panel and Lady Bird Johnson (or "Marcus Bachman… in his dreams" to quote Mr. Savage) on the runway. What saved Chad's ass was the fact that he was consistent with his character the entire time through the challenge and that papered over the fact that he didn't really meet the challenge.
- Dida (who I do love and think has a ton of potential) was boring as hell. Contrary to her and Chad's protestations, the judges clearly wanted the queens to bring a point of view to the challenge and take it somewhat seriously. After all, if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for everything.
- Latrice was surprisingly flat. I was shocked. Thank god she Brought It to the lip sync and took us all to church.
- And speaking of the fart in church, let's talk about Phi Phi. I (like every right-thinking person on the planet) was looking at her through splayed fingers and was shocked as hell by her reference to The Help. And Michelle was absolutely right; there is a way to do political incorrectness and be funny but the audience has to be in on the joke (see Manilla Luzon's reporter from season 3).
- But Sharon Needles brought her A+ game this week and was the rightful winner. And she looked like an actually pretty Michelle Bachman, which was disturbing. And she proved just how smart she is; from her banter with Dan Savage to her debate to her runway look, everything was witty and on point.
- And it's a sad Sashay Away for Miss Dida. Keep going on girl. And don't feel too bad: your lip sync was on-point but Miss Latrice took us home.
And now The Drag Race Scoreboard
- Chad: 3 (Second Place)
- Dida: -2
- Latrice: -1
- Phi Phi: 1 (winning the mini challenge)
- Sharon: 4
- Chad Michaels & Sharon Needles: 20
- Latrice Royale: 16
- Phi Phi O'Hara: 14
- Willam: 10
- Dida Ritz & Madame LaQueer: 4
- Kenya Michaels: 3
- Jiggly Caliente: 2
- Milan: 1
- The Princess: -1
- LaShawn Beyond: -1
- Alisa Summers: -2
So we wait yet another week for a certain shady queen to get the axe but tonight Ru pulled out her "I'm bringing someone back" bit. So who will be coming back? My guess (and hope) would be Willam, if for no other reason than it would stir some sh*t up.

No Carpet Allowed
The carpet in my house now is beginning to look a lot like the carpet in my house back then. I have realized that carpet serves no purpose in households containing small children. It is actually a thorn in my side. This week alone, my carpet has weathered attacks from vomitted curdled milk, baby prunes spit-up, baby food carrots, spilled orange juice, milk, and formula. I have attempted to clean all these messes up with store-bought carpet cleaner to no avail. When I pick up Maia from her play time on the floor, she smells like carpet cleaner mixed with puke and sour milk. Why do houses even come with carpet anymore? All they do is gather these messes and serve as breeding grounds for germs and nasty smells. I am going on strike against carpet! Anyone want to join me?

I will! I am absolutely appalled by how dirty our carpet is. My husband will not allow anyone into our home because it is so disgusting. It looks exactly like my home growing up. So sad. I swore it would be different, but it isn't. ay!

so with you on this one!!!! i think my carpet might be worse then yours considering the red puffy paint that was never used to write names on stockings that is now pink splotched all over!

We have tile and carpeting. I love the tile for cleaning reasons, but it's eating our socks - seriously. We all have big holes - and I just bought us all new socks. And tile is hard on little heads! Be thankful for carpet when your little ones hit the floor. For the carpeting, have you tried Folex carpet cleaner? It's a rather plain bottle, but it's magic. Target or Wal Mart (or grocery store, but it's double the price there).

Recipes on Thought for Food
War Profiteering
The most glaring example of war profiteering during the current Iraqi war is, of course, Halliburton, of which Vice President Cheney was chief executive before entering office. Cheney continues to receive a six-figure yearly pension and retains stock options worth an estimated $18 million dollars. Meanwhile, Halliburton stock has quadrupled in value since the beginning of the Iraq war.
There's always the long shot that it wasn't Cheney who encouraged the arm forces to give billions of dollars in contracts to Halliburton (and exact number of billions is apparently not know, not even by the government); it could be the nearly $18,000 they gave to the Bush/Cheney 2000 campaign that makes this administration feel beholden to them. They, along with the 70 or so other companies with Iraqi contracts have donated more money to Bush than any other candidate in the last two decades. Hmm - I wonder what they knew then?
Regardless of why specific companies were chosen, contractors were supposedly used to reduce the cost of the war... which makes it seem odd that we have paid Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root an estimated $13 billion just for supplies and equipment maintenance for our armed forces. Adjusted for inflation, this is about two and a half times what we spent on the entire 1991 Gulf War and about the same expense of the American Revolution, the War of 1912, the Mexican-American War, and the Spanish American War combined.
A quick dig into the articles about the outsourcing of this war quickly brings to light that filtering tax-payer money through the government and into the pockets of corporate executives is one of the nicest results. A billion + dollar contract with L-3 Communication was used in part to pay contractors to perform some of the heinous torture witnessed in the Abu Ghraib pictures. Of course, while the members of the military who have the honor of taking the fall for the higher-ups who sanctioned the torture rot in their prison cells, these contractors perpetrating the same crimes have nothing to fear thanks to their protected status.
You know, the more I dig, the sicker I get, and the more I mourn what the Bush administration has taken away from us. In all fairness, though, the channels of profit rarely seem to point at the President himself; perhaps for him it is all about power, which he has been gathering like a greedy school kid with a box of crayons. Sadly, in this case, each crayon represents what were once the checks and balances that made this country so great - he is truly working toward a government that looks a lot like a dictatorship.
So yes, David, this has been a very sad year as I have watched a small group of people take the greatest country in the world and turn it into a shameful, fascist state. I am truly, deeply sad.
The saddest part of all is that while I am writing all of this, I can't help but think of the trampling of the Geneva Conventions that was passed yesterday which not only allows the President to order torture and detain people without charge indefinitely, but is worded so loosely that not even American citizens are protected. Were my words construed as aiding terrorism, I too could be locked up, uncharged, for the rest of time. And this the administration so many of you still defend?

Torture is pointless
Of course, the difference between 24 and reality is that Jack always has the right suspect, always knows when that suspect is holding back and is always able to quickly elicit the necessary info through torture. The reality is much different. Even is less severe instances of persuasive interrogation, such as denying the suspect bathroom access or sleep, innocent people are known to confess to crimes just to make the treatment stop. (Mayer, 2005; McCoy, 2005)
Of course, Bush's attempted (and probably to be successful) rejection of the Geneva Conventions is so much more frightening than the prospect of obtaining misinformation whether the suspect is guilty or innocent. And spare me your "gotta get the bad guys at any cost" doomsday exceptions to the rule: there are already concessions in place that allow torture in extreme situations such as the ones presented on 24. If a bomb is about to go off in our country and we don't know where, torture is permissible by law.
What is really at risk here is not our safety as a country but the safety of our armed forces. If we reject the Geneva convention, there is no reason for other countries to treat our captured soldiers with any sort of humanitarian concern - we will have cut off our own soldiers' rights to fair treatment.
It continues to amaze me that this administration which claims such patriotism and concern for our troops would subject them to that kind of treatment, and this in addition to ineffective kevlar and other safety equipment, the rejection of Israel's anti-RPG technology, and increasingly cut funding for post-service care.
Likewise, it disappoints me (though that's not nearly a strong enough word) that my own party would support this torture bill - people who allow evil to happen are no better than people who actually perpetrate that evil. As Cenk Uygur says:
Any Democrat who votes for this is the worst kind of coward.Read more about the word mincing that makes this bill so shameful at The New York Times and TruthDig.

Pat Buchanan's unfortunate riff
Buchanan was promoting his new book, State of Emergency, which is apparently a novel-length homage to xenophobia. As though listening to Buchanan's poor excuse for reasoning wasn't enough, he chose to end his interview by saying:
Jon, look at the Indians. They had a liberal immigration policy. Look what happened to them, Jon.
Yup, he was referring to native Americans. Sure 'nuff.
A post for Christspeak
Recent comments posted on my blog and his by Christspeak Rx remind me of that time. He seems mostly uninformed while towing the GOP party line like the subject the Bush administration thinks they deserve. Often, when I'm driving down the street behind someone with a "W: The President" sticker (as it is very likely Christspeak has on his car), I wonder if these 30% of Americans still backing Bush do, in fact, have enough money to benefit from Bush's policies or if it is disinformation or delusion that leads them to believe that this administration cares about them despite their lack of riches.
This is a corporatist administration - it's why the 400 most wealthy Americans each have a billion dollars or more while our own Gulf coast has barely begun the post-Katrina rebuilding process. Christspeak, Bush would sell you personally to the Taliban to use for target practice if it would boost Haliburton stock one point.
As for President Clinton, Keith Olbermann gives commentary about the Fox interview with more insight and eloquence than I can, but I will say that I'm nostalgic for the days when our biggest concern was a president lying about adultery, and not about the false pretexts upon which more than two thousand of our best and brightest were sent to be killed in an unwinnable war.
My self-enforced news hiatus ended when I got together with my husband who is so well-read and well-informed that not only did he get me turned back on to news and politics but presented facts that pulled me a little closer to center, which is where I believe the truth always lies.
Christspeak, I would like to do the same for you. An argument is only worth having if both parties are well-informed and have something beyond political talking points to add to the mix. So I offer these links, straight from my husband:

Clinton on Fox
Part 1:
Part 2:
Chris Wallace in typical Fox News fashion, claims "fair and balanced" questioning of politicians on both sides of the aisles. Always the eager watchdog, MediaMatters.org scoured the archives and found the obvious: in over 3 dozen interviews with members of the Bush administration, the question of Bush's pursuit of Bin Laden went largely unasked.
By the way, interviewer Chris Wallace is, in fact, Mike Wallace's son... those must be some seriously tense Thanksgiving dinners...

Free hugs
The whole thing reminds me of high school. My freshman year, my friend, Lem, and I used to go on ambush hugging missions - we'd see someone walking the halls alone and would offer a hug. Sometimes they would and sometimes they wouldn't but it was always fun for us.
After high school, Lem became a clown, literally. For years, spreading joy was his living...

GLBTs in the military
Sit-ins modernized
In Greensboro alone, nine people were arrested for trespassing as a result of their peaceful protest.
These are the people, including Greensboro students Jessica Arvidson, Stacey Booe, Matt Hill Comer and Alex Nini, and the others around the country also participating, that fill me with pride. I don't know them, but I admire and respect them. Their actions are brave, conscientious, and should be applauded for attempting to bring about social change in the tradition of the Greensboro Four.

Children need time to be unplugged
This column was originally published in the News & Record on September 20, 2006
Throughout my childhood, my family took twice-yearly road trips to visit relatives in
Recently, my sister, Rachel, made the trip again with our mother, this time accompanied by my nephews, six-year-old Tate and three-year-old Carr. Miracle of modern technology that it is, Rachel also brought her portable DVD player; of the 16-hour round trip, the kids watched maybe four hours of movies.
Not bad considering that a quick drive down
I don't have kids but my 17 years as a doting older sister, then aunt, have given me an idea of the patience necessary to handle the often-impulsive demands of kids, and therefore the appeal of a constant TV buffer. But a recent NPR report made me wonder if we haven't taken the buffer too far.
Pay-per-view grocery carts are popping up in Atlanta Wal-Marts and grocery stores. For a mere dollar, parents can seat their kids in a roaming room with a steady stream of their choice of kids' programming. The only people more thrilled than the kids are the parents who no longer have to have the obligatory mid-store arguments about Sugar-Coated Mouth-Zinger cereal or the new Diva Dancer Barbie.
Having recently spoken with Rachel about the prevalence of television in modern childhoods, I sent her a link to the report; she replied with an email laden with caps lock and exclamation marks.
"Yes, shopping with kids is hard. Yes, driving with kids is hard sometimes. Yes, TV tends to minimize fighting between sibs and between parents & kids," she wrote. "But that's part of growing up - learning boundaries - interacting in some way with the world around you to figure out how you impact it - using your imagination - being bored - THINKING."
The dozens of studies exploring the negative impact of television on kids makes writing about it a chore of what to exclude rather than what to include.
Television occupies the time that most kids would have otherwise spent riding bikes, playing in the backyard or throwing twigs into the neighborhood creek. Coupled with the junk food ads so prevalent during the breaks in kids' programming, this abundant inert time has been implicated in the growing obesity epidemic.
Of course, rides in cars and grocery carts are already inert time for kids, but as Rachel points out, it is only physically inert time. Staring out a car window is prime time for an active mind to create stories, plan bead-art projects or, gasp, talk with family.
Moreover, unsupervised, uncensored television time opens the door for kids to interpret messages without the guidance of parental insight. While Tom smashing Jerry with a fire poker is funny to those of us who understand the difference between animation and reality, to kids it could be frightening or, worse yet, a funny and seemingly risk-free prank to pull on a sibling.
Neither Rachel nor I believe that television is totally without merit; shows like Popular Mechanics for Kids offer educational lessons, and mindless entertainment provides time to unwind and laugh. But, as Rachel sums it up, "Parents need to moderation AND good sense with TV… by picking age appropriate shows and talking to kids about what they are seeing."
Advice for businesswomen
My entree into the world of business came in earnest when I was 25 and started my personal chef business, Dining with Ease; which is to say that I was indoctrinated into the world of business as a business owner, a rather unconventional intro. Now as a freelance writer and co-owner of Jones Computer and Networking, Inc, I continue to see the business world as a small business owner; it is through this lense that I read Women Leaders: 10 Power Tip in the current Newsweek.
Many of the tips jive with what I have seen. For example, tip #8: Insist on being well-paid. Women are more likely to undervalue themselves which leads to underpricing their services. While IRS guidelines for food service (ingredients should cost no more than a third of the overall price of the job; any more is an IRS red flag), I priced my personal chef service on such a narrow margin that ingredient shopping was a careful balancing act and my hourly rate was pathetic. I have seen other women quickly go out of business because they were so uncomfortable with asking for a profit-turning fee.
What women often forget is that though people love a bargain, even more so they believe that you get what you pay for. There are many stories floating around the business community about a product that couldn't be moved until the price had been increased - counterintuitive, I know, but with the increased price came the appearance of increased value.
Of course, there were a couple of tips with which I take issue though I understand that my disagreement may come of the fact that I haven't worked in corporate America. The first two tips insists in various ways that being nice and wanting people to like you are hindrances in business - which may be true, but for many women I know, being in business is as much, if not more, about quality of life that the subjective measures of stature or income. I am among those. If business ever became an ugly game of backstabbing or ultra-competitiveness, I would quit. I'd rather go back to restaurant kitchens that put so much energy into businesses that make me miserable. Life's too short.

Abstinence-only education is worse than not working
In enquiring about my cousin's dating life, he told me that the hypocrisy of the student body kept him from doing much dating. It seemed that while the co-eds prized themselves on guarding their virginity, they limited that definition to vaginal intercourse in what turned out to be the "anything but" rule... or, as he described it, the "including butt" rule. Sorry, there was no way around that pun.
His anecdotal experience has been confirmed empirically in recent years. It seems that young people with abstinence-only sex ed, including those who make abstinence pledges are as likely or more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior.
It makes sense in an odd sort of way: hormones are pumping and in an attempt to remain true to their promise, they find what seem like loophole: oral and anal sex. Meanwhile, their abstinence-only training means that they are largely unaware of the risk inherent in any sort of sexual contact - especially anal sex. The verdict: kids with abstinence-only training and abstinence pledges are indistinguishable from the teen population at large for contracting STDs.
So why not give kids a little credit by giving them honest, forthright sex ed? Why not teach kids about STDs and about respecting themselves and their bodies and trust that with all the options before them, they will make the right decision? Ultimately, they're going to make their own decisions either way.
Or just tell them what Snoop Dogg said in support of condom use, "Ain't no p*ssy good enough to get burned while I'm up in it."
If you feel as passionately as I do about honest sexual dialog, log onto NARAL Pro-Choice America and sign their petition to support the Responsible Education About Life (REAL) Act, legislation that would set up the first-ever federal sex education program.

Just for fun: Natalie Portman rapping
This will be the first meeting I've ever conducted - I've attended plenty but never actually been the lead. That's a big part of why I took this role, though: to learn, move forward, challenge myself with new experiences. It's a terrifying way to grow but oh so effective.
Last night was the NAWBO general meeting. Tamara McLendon of Lede PR gave an excellent talk on do-it-yourself PR and, as usual, the mood was the most pleasant version of business gathering imaginable.
I was asked last night to give a short testimonial on why I think NAWBO membership is advantageous and while I'm not much on selling people on anything (my downfall as a businesswoman) the task itself did make me think.
I started with NAWBO right around the end of the first year of my personal chef business, Dining with Ease. I had been making the rounds of networking groups (having found that groups often pay more attention to guests than members) and ran into then-president Jan Hinton.
My first meeting was a breath of fresh air. While the atmosphere of other business groups seemed to insists that I pretend to be more knowledgeable that I was, and to pretend that my business was more developed and more impressively staffed than just little ole me, NAWBO was a safe haven to admit that I was a small up-start business and that as a businesswoman, I barely knew what I was doing but was eager to learn.
The icing on the cake was that though NAWBO is not technically a networking group, I was able to grow my business through their referrals.
To me, The truly exciting part about NAWBO is that the mission, to support and bolster women businesses, stretches far beyond the membership and into the community. This October, NAWBO WS/GSO will become one of only six chapters to host the Guardian Life Girls Going Places program where 100 young women from area high schools will learn the building blocks to business: how to develop an idea, how to write a business plan and, perhaps most importantly, how to manage their finances wisely.
This piece of graffiti I recently posted says it all: to bolster women businesses in no way hampers traditional male-owned businesses. Quite the contrary: we are working to build a stronger overall business community.

Hacking voting machines
Yeah, those were the days, back before it was possible to hack into computerized Diebold voting machines in the time it takes most of us to vote. My only hope is that hacking these things is so easy (one hacker, about 3 minutes, no password protection) that hackers will think it's beneath them and just not bother.
Diebold spokesman David Bear previously commented:
[Our critics are] throwing out a 'what if' that's premised on a basis of an evil, nefarious person breaking the law. For there to be a problem here you're basically assuming a premise where you have some evil and nefarious election officials who would sneak in and introduce a piece of software... I don't believe these evil elections people exist.
No, politicians trying to steal elections is completely unheard of. I'm sure the current administration would be horrified to think that they or anyone would want to win an election contrary to the will of the people. DON'T BE SILLY.
Congressman Brad Miller now accepting questions!
Yesterday, I spoke with Congressman Miller's campaign manager and Miller has agreed to answer reader questions - let's hear it for a politician who is actually interested in his constituents!!

If only he was being funny
Kids as tools
But when I read articles like this one on Salon.com, about a punk fundamentalist church in Seattle which advocates not only a literal reading of the bible (i.e. very very traditional, strictly enforced gender roles) but also a belief that it is their duty to reproduce plentifully in order to spread their brand of Christianity, it makes me wonder if I am doing the world a disservice by not adding my own ideology in the form of my own offspring to the mix to combat such fanaticism.
But really, despite what the Mars Hill Church preaches, who are we doing the disservice to when we have kids so that they can act as tools?
Just say "what?"
Since Nancy Reagan rolled out her oh-so useful "Just Say No" campaign, not a dent has been made in the American drug trade. And yet we keep fighting in the same way: arresting petty drug dealers, imprisoning addicts who need rehab not the narcotic free-for-all that prison provides, and teaching kids about drugs with the antiquated notion that somehow pot is as bad as cocaine.
Another Huffington Post blogger, Maia Szalavitz posted more useful insight to this failed war, suggesting that the only way to combat the deluge of heroin reportedly making its way from Afghanistan to Europe is to offer farmers a fair trade price for their crops and either destroy it or turn it into medicine for underserved countries. After all, I'd be willing to bet that those in the drug trade in order to make a passable living outnumber malicious thugs by a thousand to one.
Moreover, Szalavitz points to a statistic that says 98% of the pot apprehened by U.S. law enforcement is what potheads call schwag - you'd get just about as high smoking that as banana peels.
Ultimately, our drug laws are an unfortunate Puritan throw-back. This recent anti-drug commercial (watch "Pete's Couch") may just be the most honest thing I've seen on tv in a long time: pot isn't going to make people think they can drive 140 down Battleground Ave and pot almost never precedes domestic abuse.
But alcohol does...
Speaking of which, in high school, it was nearly impossible for me to get legal booze and a breeze to get illegal drugs... Just a little food for thought.

The reverberating tragedy of 9/11
I filled my tank and went inside to pay; on the tv was the footage. I couldn't believe that it was real. Was it an errant plane, off course because of fog or broken gauges? I drove the mile to my sister's house, arriving just in time to watch the second plane hit. My sister was kneeling on the floor, unable to stop watching but trying at the same time to keep her 22-month-old son from seeing.
Two planes don't hit by accident.
This morning the News & Record reran Leonard Pitts' column from September 13, 2001. It is heartbreaking and not because of the sorrow and disbelief housed in his words but because he imagined a national response that never came to be.
Instead, we have been pulled apart by an administration that has managed to nullify everything that is unique and beautiful about our country. They have violated the Constitution through their illegal wiretapping program; they have defied our humanitarian efforts by using torture; they have embedded us in a war that has done nothing but strengthened the resolve of our enemies.
Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together.
Five years later, we are neither safer nor more unified. Five years later, the Bush administration has lessened my fear in Islamic radicals but only because that fear is eclipsed by my fear of my own government.

Word from the Miller campaign
Jason should be getting back to me with some relevant links - I will pass along when he does.
No show from Miller and Robinson
Mr. Miller,
I have to confess that I am disappointed to have not received a reply to the below invitation. While I expected to be ignored by Mr. Robinson, I had hoped that you would be more willing to reach out to your constituents.
Should you decide that it is worth a minimal amount of your or one of your staffer's time to answer questions from my readers, please contact me.
Ultimately, Miller is in the catbird seat; with Robinson as an opponent, he will not only receive the increasingly strong (thanks to Bush's follies) Democratic vote but also the good-god-anyone-but-Robinson vote.
Will I vote for Miller? Most likely - but I will also keep up my search for a politician who truly wants to get back to the people.
Will diet for sex
The ad I saw last night, however, was NutriSystem for men in which two (TWO!) out of five or six men giving testimonials claim that NutriSystem has given them a great sex life.
I'm not sure if these ads are buying into or reinforcing the stereotype that only men want sex... and women want shopping? What year is it again?

Save the date: Winter Walk
I have participated in six Winter Walks; every year I tear up at the opening ceremonies and every year I find great hope in the thousands of people of all colors, ages and sexual orientations (more than 2500 last year alone) who turn out in support of this often stigmatized community.
With so much anger and fear in the world today, I can't urge you enough to join the walk on Sunday, December 3rd, if only as a reminder that there is still hope and love in our community.

It had been clear for some time that Caroline's memory had been slipping. Like many in the early stages of dementia, she covered by writing copious notes and often assuring us that she was vigilant about keeping the stove off and the door locked.
Coupled with her convincing memory mask was the natural reluctance on her children's part to believe that their mother, who had cooked for them, cared for them, and disciplined them, was no longer the best judge of her own safety and welfare. But even as they were able to recognize Caroline's needs, they had to learn to walk the precarious line between treating her with the respect her age and experience demand, and guiding her with a firmness usually reserved for children.
Only when all these issues had been addressed, could they move to the question of where Caroline should live.
As a country, we have a strong ambivalence about eldercare in terms of the multi-generational homes versus professional care debate. Even while the aging Baby Boomer population fuels the skyrocketing eldercare industry, horror stories like the one the News & Record recently ran about Friendship Care Assisted Living confirms our worst nightmares about professional care: that overworked, underpaid, ultimately uncaring employees will mistreat our defenseless loved ones.
On the other hand, judging by the recurring headlines, caring for an elderly family member ranks with smoking in shortening lives. Which begs the question, how do the Japanese do it?
Sixty percent of Japanese elderly live in multi-generational homes as opposed to a mere 10% of American elderly. The difference is most often attributed to
But what is Caroline's take?
"A couple needs their privacy," she says in refusing to live with her children and their spouses.
Which is not to say that Caroline is enthusiastic about her new living arrangements. In these six months, she has come to like the staff, the other residents and the three effortless meals a day at the Oaks, a facility with homey feel and long-standing reputation for great care. Still, Caroline continues to long for her old apartment and decline our offers to bring decor like family photos.
As for us, it wasn't until we finished the six-week task of sifting through what was left in her apartment - the baskets made by the father-in-law I never met, the hoarded magazines, and bag after bag of notes that unintentionally documented the loss of her memory as certain reminders appeared with increasing frequency - that my husband could start adjusting to his mother's new home.
Admitting and accepting that, when it comes to your parent, the Golden Years aren't always as pretty as the name implies is a grieving process in its own right: mourning the independent in your parent as it fades, and mourning, in advance, our own inevitable decline.
Perhaps the true difference between Japanese and American eldercare is that the Japanese accept that death is a part of life and Americans keep hoping that some magic bullet will reduce death to nothing but a bad memory.

A whole heap of Oreos
Anne Frank at Triad Stage
I swear I wanted to cry from the opening moments, as the Franks and van Danns entered the annex - which surprised me in a way. I feel as though I was born knowing Anne Frank's story. I somehow thought that the familiarity would lessen the sting.
Perhaps the hardest thing about Anne's story is not the potential that was lost in her death, but the ways in which she was so ordinary. We can all relate to our first romantic feelings, to teenage rebellion, and the kind of petty interpersonal conflict that comes in any cohabitation.
In the big picture view, Anne Frank's story is unnervingly present with headlines occurring daily about modernized blood libel charges and the thoughtlessly invoked memory of Hitler in Mumbai's Hitler Cafe and an Italian brochure which used the mocking Auschwitz slogan, "work makes you free".
Anne's final diary entry was, coincidentally, on the exact same day that my mother was born. How quickly we forget.
A forceful decline in education
As if to prove my point, Iranian "president" Ahmadinejad, is asking students to force liberal and secular educators into early retirement. What's so brilliant about this is that Ahmadinejad has the power to do this himself - but by enlisting students, he is further drawing them into his party line, making it much more likely that they will continue to act in ways consistent with his beliefs.
In a bizarre way, this is what frats do with hazing: when people do something extreme like streaking through a busy quad, they are backing the party line. If you ever start doubting the party line, you find yourself in a state psychologists call cognitive dissonance - which basically means that you have conflicting beliefs, i.e. the uncomfortable previous action is an investment in the group while doubts make the group less appealing. Humans, by nature, really hate cognitive dissonance and the only way to solve it is to either admit that your previous actions were foolish, or ignore your doubts and continue to tow the line.
Guess which one most people choose?

Rummy's ill-advised wording
Then again, anything that would run Rummy out of his post is good by me...
Taking the low road
This incident came to mind today when a woman driving a black Lexus SUV (with a license plate holder that read "Happiness is Ice Skating" - just in case you know her) cut me off twice so closely that I was amazed she didn't hit me. I honked the second time, just as we were pulling up to a red light. She stuck her head out of the window and started yelling something to me - I couldn't hear what.
As angry as both of the incidents made me, what struck me even more was what incredible danger these women had put themselves in in the name of road rage. Granted, I'm not the most imposing looking person, but what if I was psychotic? Worse yet, what if I was psychotic and had a gun in my glove box? Such happenings are not unheard of, especially in situations in which adrenaline is flowing and people feel wronged.
If you know the woman with the black Lexus SUV, please advise her to be more cautious. While I pose no threat, others do and in serious ways.
As an unfortunate side note, not a half mile past the Lexus incident, a van passed me in the turn lane, not satisfied, apparently, that I was going 42 in a 35. A police officer sitting on the side of the road did nothing as the van sped by.

We had our December Wine Tasting on the 19th... here's our review!
We had 3 different bottles of Shiraz. And I'm pretty sure that I already recycled them, so I don't have the intros from all the bottles... I'll check the interwebs to see what I can find.
Once again we were tasting with Drew & Ericka (who got married today BTW!)
This is Ericka & Drew
This is me & Jon
First up, Jon chose Virgin Vines....
Name: Virgin Vines by Richard Branson
Price: $9.99
Year: 2006
PHOTO of bottle
Short intro from the wine maker about the wine: Ok... I didn't really see anything online and the bottle is already gone.
Review: Color is deep purple
Jon thought it tasted sour.
I thought it tasted like wine and made a yucky face.
Ericka - big backend (the wine not Ericka) not much up front (again, the wine, not Ericka) or in the middle
Drew... ummm... no notes from Drew!
Would you buy again?: Probably not... but it was a pretty bottle.
Wine Pairing Ideas/Recipes: ummmm... I dunno
Note aforementioned yucky face
Drew & Ericka chose the Ravenswood & Wolf Blass
Name: Wolf Blass Yellow Label Shiraz
Price: $10.99
Year: 2006
PHOTO of bottle
Short intro from the wine maker about the wine: This Shiraz is part of the Yellow Label range of single varietal wines sourced from premium vineyards throughout South Australia. Following fermentation, this wine underwent partial oak maturation, resulting in a rich, well structured Shiraz, that exhibits attractive plum, spice and pepper characters, good length of flavor and can be enjoyed now or cellared for several years. Screw caps were used to ensure freshness and preserve the character of the wine.
Review: color - deep purple red
Jon... no note from Jon
Me... mellower than the Virgin... very mellow after gherkin, nicer w/blue cheese & gouda... not sweet.... YUCK w/chocolate
Ericka - bigger after dark chocolate
Drew - oaky & smokey
Would you buy again?:I wouldn't... Drew probably would
Wine Pairing Ideas/Recipes: ummm... again... I dunno
Name: Ravenswood Vinters Blend
Price: $11.99
Year: 2005
PHOTO of bottle
Short intro from the wine maker about the wine: Delicious, rich, luscious wine full of dark fruit characters, chocolate and spice for which Shiraz is renowned. No wimpy wines, mate!
Review: deep purple red color
me - a little sweeter after gherkin
Ericka - not big & bold (mate!)
Jon - reminds him of port
Drew - no note from Drew
Would you buy again?: nope!
Wine Pairing Ideas/Recipes: sorry... none
Ok... when compared with each other this is the order that we liked them.
Me... for Shiraz... they all tasted the same and I couldn't choose one over the other.
Jon... Ravenswood, Wolf Blass, Virgin
Ericka... Ravenswood, Wolf Blass, Virgin
Drew... Wolf Blass, Ravenswood, Virgin
I did like the Shiraz better than Malbec mixed with 7up to make a wine cooler!
Check out the Wine Club on BakeSpace!!

Just Pass the Bread
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine.
Have I ever mentioned that I love most anything that is made from wheat? Just give me bread, bagels, pasta and tortillas. Yum, Yum, Yum. I never understood those low carb diets, because if someone took my bread away I would not be a happy camper.
So, I recently discovered a site that lets you interactively virtually grow, harvest and mill your own kernels to create your desired wheat food. Go to How Wheat Works and get started. People of all ages can participate.
The program has four phases. Growth, harvest, milling/baking and the grocer's aisle and only takes just a few minutes to complete, although the program spans the course of four days. You get to pick the type of wheat to be grown and at the end of each phase you will have the opportunity to prepare recipes from wheat grown in your area. Plus you can view harvest videos from "America's Heartland." There is a program that reaches out to our youths by providing kids ages 9 to 12 with learning, quizzes and information and strives to educate children on the benefits of wheat products.
The best part is the Wheat Foods Council will donate two pounds of flour, up to 90,000 pounds, to Operation Homefront, a non-profit that provides assistance to needy U.S. troops and their families. Of course this is near and dear to my heart because I do all I can to support our troops and their families.
ADM and ConAgra Mills, two of the world's largest millers are making this possible. Also the Wheat Food Council believes that teaching people about the benefits of whole or enriched grain food can shed new light on wheat nutrition, resulting in better informed food choices. So check out HowWheatWorks.com and get started on a better, healthy lifestyle and have fun while you are at it.

Have you been contacted by the CRA for the purposes of a review or an audit, here are some tips that will make the… https://t.co/kLA802WD77
Personal Taxes – Do you want to be audited?in Tax Advice Information and Updates
I know I complain a lot about the CRA being stupid (get over it. It's true). That said they are not morons. There are many people out there who just don't understand their finances and taxes and that is ok, but you MUST have a basic understanding or you will end up in trouble, the type of trouble that involves the CRA performing a colonoscopy on you and your bank account (without an anesthetic or lube).
Personal Taxes 101
If as an individual or proprietor (corporations are different ) you are losing money from operating a real business (not those amway, jewelway, party light candle, hobby businesses that you do in your spare time), then the CRA are going to come audit you. It is just a matter of time.
I get it, nobody wants to pay taxes, but everybody has to pay their share. If you are in business for yourself and you are consistently losing money the question is why not just go and work at Walmart, Mickey D's or Timmy's? The only reason to work is to make money.
Let's be realistic here. Most of us would not go to work if there was not a paycheck. Therefore why would you work for yourself if the expenses you incur are more than the income you make? Right, you won't. The point of this tirade is to make you realize that if you are really losing money you need to raise your prices, but chances are that you are just NOT doing your bookkeeping and accounting properly.
In Alberta the poverty level is around $25,000. So if your family income is not at least 25K then it's almost impossible to live. If your tax return says you make less than 25K then chances are you are deducting expenses which are not allowable for tax purposes (personal expenses are not deductible for income tax purposes).
I have said on many occasions that there is no such thing as a red flag to the CRA when it comes to taxes. Well this is one of those times where there is a red flag. If your income is less than zero or so low that it can't possibly support your basic living necessities (food, lodging, etc.) the CRA will come calling to ask why. Although the proper question floating around the auditors mind will really be "WTF. Do I look like a moron? How do you live where you do with such a low income?"

The evacuation of Metropolis Nursing and Rehab Nursing Home Metropolis IL due to the flooding of the Ohio River.
On the morning of Monday, May 2, 2011, I was watching TV just like I do pretty much every other day. However, on this day, my TV watching was cut short by a knock at the door of my room at Metropolis Nursing & Rehab Center in Metropolis, Illinois. I've been staying there since October 18, 2009 due to my arthritis and impending surgeries.
The person on the other side of the door came in when I acknowledged them. It was Lori Abbott, the activities director and she said that she needed to talk to me. She proceeded to tell me that because of the rising flood waters, the facility was evacuating the residents and that some residents would be going as far as 4 hours north to a "sister facility". The rest of the day's happenings are kind of a blur, because it happened so fast.
While plans had been in the works for me to return home, we didn't have the equipment there yet. Also, our house doesn't sit too far from the river and we were afraid that I'd be stranded in the house, should the waters get to the house. I immediately called Brett and told him what was going on and he and I thought it would be a good idea to try to get into the facility that my grandfather is living in, located in Marion, Illinois. This facility was already booked because of people being evacuated elsewhere though. My next choice was a facility in Herrin, Illinois so that I would be close to my dad. At first, I thought this was a good idea, but then I got to thinking about the likelihood of my dad coming to see me every day. The likelihood was pretty slim and therefore, wouldn't really know anyone. I finally was able to go to a facility in Effingham, Illinois called Lakeland Nursing Center. This facility is located about 2-1/2 to 3 hours north of Metropolis, and is a "sister facility" to ours and had quite a few residents from MNRC already being relocated to here. Plus, some of the staff was sent along to help with the care of the residents. I thought this was a major plus, because I would be around people that I knew.
All day on Monday, our facility was in a chaotic state with families coming in to take some residents home for what the Administration was saying would only be two to three days and with other residents being put in buses to head to other facilities. Medicines had to be gathered up for each and every resident and clothes and other belongings had to be packed for the resident to take along with them. It was just crazy!
S.M.A.R.T. (Southern Most Area Rural Transit) buses started coming to transport residents at about 4pm and the last one didn't depart the facility until almost 12am on Tuesday. I know this, because I was on that bus. I was a nervous wreck, because I was leaving familiar territory and heading hours from my family, unsure of when I was going to return. I was (and still am) quite proud of myself at how I was able to keep myself halfway calm. Other residents were not that way and who could blame them? Some were being taken from the only place they call "home" and taken to a strange place. The ride on the bus was a quiet one and the driver of the bus was fun and kept things calm for us passengers.
We arrived at our destination at approximately 3:30am and were greeted by all sorts of staff from Lakeland Nursing Center. They had already received some residents from earlier buses and were anxious to help us with our belongings and to help us get settled in to a bed to finally get some sleep.

Church Street shakeup
The Amway Center has been open for about four months now, and some of the retail and restaurant businesses along Church Street have been seeing great times.
But there's a bit of a shake-up still to come.
First, brokerage firm Madison Marquette is calling it quits on its Church Street Station leasing and property management responsibilities on March 1, just five months after landing the deal.
Chuck Taylor, senior vice president of leasing for Madison Marquette, said his firm has taken on so many projects in Florida that it hasn't been able to dedicate the challenging project enough attention. "It's a little bit too much for us right now," Taylor said, adding that his firm informed Boston-based lender Tremont Realty Capital LLC in advance, to give it time to find a replacement.
No word yet from Rick Gallito, executive director at Tremont, the local spokesman on the property.
Taylor said he's been in talks with several entertainment-type businesses interested in leasing space and has a couple of letters-of-intent awaiting Tremont's approval.
Meanwhile, a little bit of bittersweet news at the neighboring 55 West development. The owners of the Panchero's/Braxi's combo restaurant on the south side of Church Street, a concept that's only about a year old, have sublet the 3,000-square-foot, 170-seat space to the popular Five Guys Burgers & Fries.
A small sign on the restaurant's door thanked everyone for their business at Panchero's for the last four years and said the location is closed. Five Guys will take over the space, including the Braxi's side of the restaurant, which focused on burgers, fries and shakes.
Interior construction should start next week and Five Guys is targeting March 28 for an opening date. This will be the first Five Guys to serve beer, said spokeswoman Jeni Hatter.
Calls to Panchero's resulted in a recorded message saying the number is disconnected or no longer in service and Orange City-based Stucker Family Holdings, the area developer for Panchero's, couldn't be reached for comment.
A new Five Guys within walking distance is crazy exciting for a lot of us in downtown — the next closest one is down the road on Orange Avenue near Michigan Street.
But I also need to find somewhere else in Orlando to get that awesome toasted marshmallow shake I used to get at Braxi's — or convince Five Guys to debut something new besides the brew.
Are you excited about the new Five Guys or will you miss Braxi's/Panchero's? Leave a comment below or e-mail me.

Service was good, not much had change on the interior but still good food that I enjoyed. This is one of the original Mongolian BBQ style places. No issues. I will go again
Great Mongolian BBQ. You get to mix your own sauce with several suggested recipes above the various sauce ingredients. The hotter the better. You can go for the hot dragon sauce which appears to be mostly pepper flakes in oil. So hot you'll definitely break...More

Title : The Lovely Bones
Author: Alice Sebold
The Lovely Bones is the story of a family devastated by a gruesome murder -- a murder recounted by the teenage victim. Upsetting, you say? Remarkably, first-time novelist Alice Sebold takes this difficult material and delivers a compelling and accomplished exploration of a fractured family's need for peace and closure.
The details of the crime are laid out in the first few pages: from her vantage point in heaven, Susie Salmon describes how she was confronted by the murderer one December afternoon on her way home from school. Lured into an underground hiding place, she was raped and killed. But what the reader knows, her family does not. Anxiously, we keep vigil with Susie, aching for her grieving family, desperate for the killer to be found and punished.
Sebold creates a heaven that's calm and comforting, a place whose residents can have whatever they enjoyed when they were alive -- and then some. But Susie isn't ready to release her hold on life just yet, and she intensely watches her family and friends as they struggle to cope with a reality in which she is no longer a part. To her great credit, Sebold has shaped one of the most loving and sympathetic fathers in contemporary literature.
source: goodreads
In this book shows how the father loves her daughter. What he can or will do for his beloved daughter. This book made me open up my mind that no matter what my fathers flows are I should appreciate things that he has done for us. Susie was killed by their strange neighbor and her father knows it though he doesn't have any proofs but he's quite sure that that strange man did it. His obsession of discovering evidence to proof his suspicions made his wife go away. Susie's death had broke her family. this book discuss how the family griefs over a death of their daughter, sister, grand daughter etc. Its a bit too ghost story right in the middle but I don't hate it much. What I hate is that the killer was not caught by the police officers. What I want as an ending is that the killer should be caught in jail so that the family will feel the justice instead of the killer died by just being out balanced and fell under the icicle.

When you're thinking of money and it brings painful thoughts - what do you do? Trying to run from these thoughts or just switch from them to positive ones doesn't always work.
Then instead of running from the pain we can use it to our advantage.
Abraham-Hicks says, as our emotions are, so is what we get following our thoughts surrounded by these emotions. The stronger the emotions, the stronger you attract what you're thinking of, to you.
Which means, if you open your email and see no sales there and you feel strong pain "why doesn't the money come?" - it means, you attract to yourself the situations where you'll feel exactly this, that the money doesn't come.
Or if you're looking at a stack of bills you need to pay, or your credit card printouts bring you the feeling "why the money goes and goes, when will it start to come??"
But let's turn the pain to our best weapon! :)
They say you're having a strong emotion, strongly attract to you... something. And your feeling of pain is there because you resist what you want to come to you.
Then let's see it like this:
What we want, WANTS TO COME TO US. But we resist it, and by that we don't let it come to us. So when we see email without sales and feel pain, it's actually pain because MONEY WANTS TO COME TO US and we resist it! IT'S NOT THE PAIN THAT IT DOESN'T COME!
If you're a woman, you'll understand the analogy with giving birth: :) Grantly Dick-Read wrote about it - when in labor, normally the woman feels the pain only if she resists the baby going out. She heard from her childhood that labor is pain, and so she is afraid, so she contracts the muscles instead of relaxing and letting them stretch to release the baby. That's the basis of all modern and old techniques of giving birth naturally and painlessly.
SO try to realize it when you feel pain thinking about lacking what you want: the pain doesn't mean you hurt because of not having it, the pain means it WANTS TO COME TO YOU and your pain is from resistance only.
Imagine it: money wants to come to you so much, but you barricaded your doors and windows, holding the door as you only can, shouting NO!! :)
Please, please - release the hold, unbarricade even one window - you'll immediately feel better and you'll finally let what you want, come to you EASILY, QUICKLY and with FUN.
To beautiful life experience!

First let's speak about online tax sales. As tax lien investing has actually ended up being more popular with the average person (it's not simply the secret of the rich anymore), it's likewise ended up being more competitive. Over the last three or 4 years, in states where the rates of interest is bid down, the bidding has actually been going lower and lower – as low at.25% in some sates. And in states where the amount of the lien is bid up prices have been bid greater and greater. Online auctions increase the competitors even more. Now instead of bidding against every interested party who can concern the sale, you're taking on every interested celebration with a computer system.
Capital Allowances On Fixed Assets
You could end up with the home and a gain. Exactly what happens if the taxpayer doesn't pay? You can get the property! That's right, in as quickly as a year, you can receive deed to your house, land, workplace, whatever realty you held the lien on. You can then sell, hold that residential or commercial property or lease for an extra gain.
A tax levy can only be executed if the IRS takes the appropriate actions. To start with, they need to send you a Notice and Demand for Payment. This letter should let you understand exactly what does it cost? you owe in back taxes and the length of time you have to pay them. You should call an experienced tax consultant right away if you have any concerns about your Internal Revenue Service debt. Handling the Internal Revenue Service can in some cases make your tax concerns worse.
I have to admit that my preferred meat is beef. However cattle and sheep do develop a lot of methane and that does not assist the ozone layer or the polar ice caps. So I attempt to have it as a treat and go with sustainable fish and organic poultry rather.
When you use for credit whether its for a charge card, a mortgage, a vehicle loan or a revolving credit line you will constantly get a credit questions from the financial institution that has a look at your credit report. Too numerous inquiries can tend to decrease your score, if they are gotten in too short a time period. Questions stay on your apply for 2 years.

You will discover that you might have alternatives for taking out loans over house enhancement. If you just recently were accepted for a credit line or a house improvement loan, look under the itemized reductions to see if you have options for income tax return. Tax choices are available for second home loans, and so on. You can also find assistance for particular concerns. For example, if you just recently lost your home due to the fact that of flood, fire, or your home was damaged, therefore you might have an option to submit claims. You may find a big real estate tax relief by browsing through the theft, disaster, and fire category on your tax return. Typically, you will need tax return 1040X.
But, let's presume they stand questions, the idea of copying the IRS is minor and unskilled. It is the kind of thing partners do in a nasty divorce.
In Closing
If there are liens, levies, unsettled taxes, etc. on these items and you are the winning bidder you end up being responsible for them. That implies a good deal could be the total reverse a few days later on when you discover there is a $100,000 IRS tax lien on that home you bid $25,000 for.

Planetary Influences on Human Life?
Effects of Sun!
How the movements of planets affect human life?
How the movements of planets in the sky affect the life of human beings on earth? No doubt, this is a vital question! Those who believe in Astrology as a science may accept the fact that planets does influence human life, weather system, the change in moods of individuals and even political turmoil. In Hindu scriptures, there is elaborate explanation, 'how the movements of planets' affect mankind? We have heard about "Nostradamus", the famous soothsayer who lived in the sixteenth century. His famous book, "Centuries" has created interest in many readers. He had predicted about 'world wars, bombing of twin towers in US, the unrest in Arabian Peninsula long back. His couplets were sheer mystery for the common reader! Somewhere around the period, many wise people had understood, that "Nostradamus predictions were based on astronomical positions of various planets during a given time! Even the "Mayan people" were capable of seeing through the future events and Mayan calendar is an interesting subject of research! The combination of various planets in particular zodiac positions portends some important occurrence on earth! Even the appearance of Comets' ushered some tragedies for Kings and Political leaders!
Intuitions of sages.
Once everything was a single entity!
Rational people and scientists may not accept the influence of planets as valid, but they do agree that the tides during 'full moon day' in the oceans are high. They again accept that the Sun's rays evaporate surface water in the sea which in turn becomes clouds. When the clouds are cooled by movement of winds, rainfall occurs at various places. These are visible aspects of planets. Also during the period of eclipses, certain birds and animals behave in a queer way. Some birds are capable of knowing before, about 'impending earthquakes in the area'! Though there are no scientific explanations for the queer behavior of the animals, our ancestors had written about the behavior of animals during eclipse and other natural calamities. Everything cannot be proved. Even in research, there is 'inference' of certain theories. These inferences are more or like assumptions. One thing is sure that everything in the vast universe is mysteriously connected with each other. The same five basic elements of creation is very much in the human body! What is seen in the external world is very much patent within human body! For instance, our bones are made up of 'calcium'. How calcium which is available on rocks and earths are found in human body? Once the entire planetary system was a single mass and they become varieties of planets, stars, asteroids etc. due to gravitational forces, heat, wind and other natural forces. What is inside the core of the Sun is available in the body. All basic metals, gases and minerals are part of our physiology! It is a scientific truth that 'opposite poles attract each other and like poles distract'. This is the basic of 'magnetic theory'.
Jaggi Vasudev on Sun and Moon!
Astrology was a part of Atharvana Veda!
Gravitational forces existed even before "Newton" found it. This gravity is responsible for the attractions or distractions of various planets in the sky. Due to gravity, they are kept in fixed orbits around the Sun. The earth rotates around its own axis due to magnetism and gravity'. The core of the earth is molten metals at very high temperatures. The sun is the greatest 'atomic reactor'! Each second millions of watts of energy is sent out due to atomic reactions and splitting of atoms which happens at incredible speed! Hence it is the hottest furnace which emits heat and light and hence life is thriving on earth! Man, out of greed and selfishness has established many industries which let out harmful gases in the atmosphere. The coolant in air conditioners and fridges are the main cause of holes in 'ozone layer'. This ozone layer is a gift to all lives on earth. Otherwise some of the harmful rays of sun will reach our habitation and destroy lives. Even now due to imbalance in weather patterns which are caused by the 'green house gases', we suffer unbearable heat causing the ice in Arctic regions to melt swiftly causing floods and rise in ocean level at the rate of one centimeter in a decade! If we do not stop polluting the atmosphere due to mushrooming of various industries, one day the entire earth will be submerged by man's folly! Hence even in scientific points of view, the planets are responsible for many things that happen in the world.
In India, the Vedas clearly point out the validity of various sciences and "Jyothish" is one part of the Veda (Atharvana Veda). This deals with stars, planets, their movements and attractions and repulsions. There are two groups of planets which are mutually either friends or equals. But they are inimical with other groups which are known as benefic and malefic planets. Each planet is represented by various properties and they cause certain events pertaining to life on planets. Not only humans, even the plants, insects, birds and animals are affected by the movements of planets. We know that 'dinosaurs' once lived on our earth around sixty five million years back. How they were destroyed is still a point of debate! Many researchers feel that a huge meteorite might have fallen from the sky which might be the sole cause of destructions of entire species of Dinosaurs"! Even some of the minerals found on earth is once part of Mars and Moon. Hence we cannot shy away from the fact that planets affect life on earth!
Nostradamus predictions were based on planetary positions!
Planets and human beings.
Do you believe that planets influence human life?

The growth in the number of Britain's millionaire mansions shows little sign of stopping. At the current rate of travel, it won't be long before the nation notches up its one millionth property millionaire.
Currently, there are just over 750,000 property millionaires.
And wouldn't it be nice to know when you will join them?
Fear not, because the boffins at property website Zoopla have crunched the numbers, added their own housing know-how and sprinkled on some magic (bricks and mortar) dust to create nifty tool projecting when you will join the increasingly less exclusive millionaire mansion club.

For those in London, it might not be too long – or the barrier may already have passed. Over half of Kensington and Chelsea houses are worth more than £1m.
But it is likely to be a lengthy wait if you live in Barking and Dagenham, though. The latest figures suggest just 20 out of the borough's 67,681 houses are valued at £1m+, with just one passing the £1m marker in the last 16 months.
