Kissing. It's the most common way for us to interact with our spouse or romantic partner (in public, anyway). But can we make it better for that 'special someone'? According to WebMD.com , the answer is "yes".

If you have to leave your house unoccupied, say during a vacation, it can leave you very worried about what could go wrong. Now imagine if that "house" were orbiting the Earth!

August 31, 2011
As you've probably noticed, vending machines are just about everywhere, tempting us with food choices good and bad. Many school districts have decided to fill their machines with healthy food. But elsewhere, we're on our own. In fact, I could even understand unhealthy options filling machines in certain locations.

August 30, 2011
You've been hearing it for a while now: Research indicating chocolate (especially dark chocolate) can help reduce blood pressure, "bad" cholesterol, and plaque buildup on arteries. But no one had ever studied if eating chocolate could help cut back on heart attacks and strokes. Until now...
CBS-TV, via gossipandsoaps.com “Big Brother” Fans WAAAAAY Over The Top
August 29, 2011
I hate to start your day sounding like a crank. But sometimes I just have to.
I'll begin at the beginning. Every summer for the last few years, CBS-TV has aired a program called Big Brother. They put a number of people into a small "house", gives them simple tasks to perform, then waits for them to start acting like rats in a maze. I can excuse the players getting loopy.After all, they're in the maze. But when the viewers lose their sense of reality, I lose it too.

A week of Niagara Falls daredevils wraps up with perhaps the most scientific stunter ever to conquer Niagara. As we shall see, though, even the most carefully planned stunt can have unplanned complications.
Niagara Falls Daredevils Week-Day 4
August 25, 2011
(This was supposed to be a look at the "Last of the Niagara Daredevils. But, to be honest, I'd forgotten all about today's subject. His story should be told, 50 years after his moment in Niagara history. The "Last of the Niagara Daredevils" can wait one day-MR)
Today's entry in our look at Niagara Falls daredevils took place in 1961. It tells the story of a mysterious man who called himself "Nathan Boya". He's the only black person to go over the Falls. And, unlike most stunters, he doesn't seem to have done it for fame or fortune, but just to say he had. Or maybe it was something else...
Niagara Falls Daredevils Week-Day 3 [Video]
August 24, 2011
More than a few movies have been set in, or featured scenes shot at Niagara Falls. Marilyn Monroe had a breakout performance in 1953's Niagara (while simultaneously being courted by two different suitors while they were all staying on different floors of the same Niagara Falls, ON hotel!). Clark and Lois honeymooned at the Falls in 1980's Superman II. And, in what may have been the first major scene shot there, a legendary magician performed real magic in the pounding waters at the brink of the cataract.

August 23, 2011
Our week-long look at Niagara Falls daredevils continues today with the amazing-but-true tale of A. E. Taylor, the first person to go over the Falls in a barrel. As we'll see, Taylor hoped for a little financial security, which sadly proved rather elusive (There are those who believe that the cataract is under a curse, a result of the many deaths recorded there. Anyone who's looked into the post-Niagara lives of most daredevils, as I have, may start believing in curses).
