I do believe in the power of this natural supplement, I joined Tahitian Noni International because it amazed me how much the company grew in a matter of 4 years. Being really skeptical I tried to noni for my back pain and guess what, yes it worked for me when nothing would. I did join for about 5 months and managed to sign up my friend from arizona but I found out that mlm is just not for me.

A house divided: Estranged couple's home cut in half

A house divided: Estranged couple's home cut in half

(CNN) -- A Cambodian couple who separated after 40 years of marriage may have taken things too literally when it came to splitting their assets:

The husband cut the house in two.

"It is the strangest thing I've ever seen," said May Titthara, who wrote about the case for The Phnom Penh Post, an English-language newspaper in the Cambodian capital. "People there never saw this happen in a divorce. It is very interesting for them."

The husband and wife had been living together in the house in a village in the Prey Veng province of southern Cambodia, roughly 50 miles (80 km) from the capital.

The couple would not talk to the newspaper, but the village chief told May Titthara that the husband was angry because his wife wouldn't tend to him when he was ill.

If you suddenly fall ill, do your loved ones know your wishes?

clipper's remarks:

The Five Wishes document helps you express how you want to be treated if you are seriously ill and unable to speak for yourself. It is unique among all other living will and health agent forms because it looks to all of a person's needs: medical, personal, emotional and spiritual. Five Wishes also encourages discussing your wishes with your family and physician.

Five Wishes lets your family and doctors know:
1. Which person you want to make health care decisions for you when you can't make them.
2. The kind of medical treatment you want or don't want.
3. How comfortable you want to be.
4. How you want people to treat you.
5. What you want your loved ones to know.
…
The document speaks to people in their own language, not in "doctor speak" or "lawyer talk." It can be used in the living room instead of the emergency room. And it helps families talk with their physician about a difficult subject.

Something is terribly wrong: The majority of Americans prefer to die at home surrounded by family and friends, but too many end up dying in the hospital or nursing home, surrounded and cared for by strangers. Half of Americans die in pain that could have been treated. The sick and elderly have come to fear losing their dignity or burdening their families even more than they fear death.

In 1997 Aging with Dignity introduced the Five Wishes advance directive in Florida, and a year later, to the nation. Five Wishes proved immediately popular because it is written in plain English, not medical or legal jargon, and helps people express in their own words their wishes for the kind of care they want in advance of a serious illness. Five Wishes is a legally-valid tool you can use to ensure your wishes and those of your loved ones will be respected even if you can't speak for yourself.

The man who reads dictionaries

"I've always enjoyed reading dictionaries and they are far more interesting than people give them credit for. And I think everything you find in a great book you would find in a great dictionary, except for the plot.

"All the normal emotions - grief, happiness and loss - exist in a dictionary but not necessarily in the order that you would think."

If you come across a word like "remord" (to recall with a touch of regret) it's impossible to read that word without thinking of things that you regret yourself, he says

"It's not easy to use them in conversation and so I enjoy them for their own sake. They are like one-word poems."

Turning page after page of unfamiliar words made him sometimes feel like he was reading another language, he says. That was dispiriting but also intriguing, because it showed how rich and powerful the English language is.

Mara Liasson Uses the Wrong Fancy Word on Fox News Sunday

[Video]

Mara Liasson on Fox News Sunday, October 5, 2008

Ummmmm...Did Beavis and Butthead guest-host this show? What a lil perv! Although she's just trying to sound smart, she uses the term correctly; however, it's generally used in medical context.

I think she used the word she wanted. "Exogenous" - caused by external factors. If we think of the electoral campaign as a system, then any events that come from outside that system, such as natural or economic disasters, are exogenous factors. As opposed to endogenous factors, which are the stump speeches on each side and the mud-slinging generated by the McCain campaign.

There are plenty of people out there—not only English teachers but also amateur language buffs like me—who believe that diagramming a sentence provides insight into the mind of its perpetrator

So let's take a crack at a few of Palin's doozies. From the Katie Couric interview:

It's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where—where do they go?

Other Palinisms are not so tractable. From the Charlie Gibson interview:

I know that John McCain will do that and I, as his vice president, families we are blessed with that vote of the American people and are elected to serve and are sworn in on January 20, that will be our top priority is to defend the American people.

I had to give up. This sentence is not for diagramming lightweights

To me, it's not English—it's a collection of words strung together to elicit a reaction

It requires not a diagram but a selection of push buttons.

clipper's remarks: "Collins' editors know that old words die hard — and that some people will vilipend (regard with contempt) any execution without a fair trial. So they've offered the chance of a reprieve. They have made public 24 words that face deletion because editors could find no example of their use in their database of English-language books, newspapers, broadcasts and other media. If, by February 2009, a word reappears in that database with at least six "high quality" citations, it could be spared from the semantic dustbin. "We're looking to see if dropping a little stone in the pond of language actually does generate ripples," says Brookes."

Hangman, Spare That Word: The English Purge Their Language

For feminists examining muliebrity (the condition of being a woman), or soothsayers putting out their latest vaticination (prophecy), the available lexicon may soon get slimmer. The lexicographers behind Britain's Collins English Dictionary have decided to exuviate (shed) rarely used and archaic words as part of an abstergent (cleansing) process to make room for up to 2,000 new entries. "We want the dictionary to be a reflection of English as it is currently spoken," says Ian Brookes, managing editor of Collins, "rather than a fossilized version of the language."

Here in Old Blighty, the birthplace of English, the dictionary's compilers face passionate resistance from language lovers who believe that any cull reduces the richness and variety that make language powerful — and leaves us all a bit dumber.

"The enemies of Islam are facing a crushing defeat, which is beginning to manifest itself in the expanding crisis their economy is experiencing," said Gadahn, in a clip of the message distributed by the SITE Intelligence Group, a Washington-based monitor of militant Web sites.

In a half hour video message, California-native Adam Gadahn urged Pakistanis to unite against their government and U.S. forces, and taunted Americans over their economic crisis, relating it to their military interventions.

al-Qaida pointed to economic troubles in the United States as proof that "the enemies of Islam" face defeat, in an English-language video released Saturday.
