Neil Armstrong


First man on the moon, passed away at 82




(CBS News) Neil Armstrong, the Apollo 11 astronaut who became the first human being to set foot on another world, has died. He was 82.

In a statement his family said Armstrong had passed away following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures.

The family described him as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, and also as "a reluctant American hero who always believed he was just doing his job."
That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.

When Armstrong set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, he fulfilled the goal that had been set by President John F. Kennedy just eight years earlier.

What they don't tell you about pregnancy Part I

    Hello All! I am in my third trimester of pregnancy and it's been quite a ride! There's so much that I want to share with you! Today, however, I want to share the huge surprises that I've had for the past 7 months! Now, I'm not new to the whole baby thing. I am the oldest of six and I have also worked with children off and on my entire life. On top of that, once I became pregnant, I started reading articles and speaking with women who already have children just so I could have some idea of what to expect. So, it's not like I was going in completely blind, but I still managed to deal with a few things that my husband and I weren't prepared for. **Disclaimer: No two pregnancies are alike! What I have dealt with could be the opposite for you!** 1. Weight Loss!      So, my before pregnancy weight was around 155 lbs. At my first appointment I hadn't gained any weight and by my January appointment I had actually lost 2 pounds. My next appointment...

To Rent or To Buy?

Buying Home Beats Renting After Just 3 Years in Much of US  Is it better to buy a home or rent? An analysis released today by real estate information provider Zillow.com finds that in most of the U.S., buying becomes a better deal than renting after only three years of residence. In many metro areas , the advantage comes much sooner. In Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa, for example, owning beats renting after 1.6 years, the study finds.

"People traditionally have looked at the price-to-rent ratio," Zillow senior ...
