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.

      Quick little bit of info for mommies and mommies to be. As the arrival of our son approaches, my husband and I have been stocking up on all of the essentials and that, of course, includes diapers. After some solid recommendations, we decided to start out with Pampers and Makers Mark (Sams brand). We headed to Sams (after looking in Target) figuring that, since it's Sams, they should have the best deals. Once I looked at those $45.00 price tags I just couldn't do it. I wanted to make absolutely sure this was the best deal. TO GOOGLE! After a quick search I found that I could buy 216 pampers swaddlers (the economy pack not sold in stores) in size one for only $25.99 from Target.com. The same exact product was being sold for $43.58 at Sams (online). Not only was it less expensive at Target, you could also subscribe to have them automatically delivered every month and receive a 5% discount because of your subscription. Needless to say we high tailed it (maybe more li...

Crooked Forest

Image
So here is a destination I came across a little while ago that I definitely wouldn't mind going to see one day when I begin my world travels :) The Crooked Forest is a grove of oddly shaped pine trees located outside the village of Nowe Czarnowo, in western Poland. The forest contains about 400 pine trees that grow with a 90 degree bend at the base of their trunks. All of the trees are bent northward and surrounded by a larger forest of straight-growing pine trees. The crooked trees were planted around 1930 when the area was inside the German province of Pomerania. It is thought that the trees were formed with a human tool, but the method and motive for creating the grove is not currently known. It appears that the trees were allowed to grow for seven to ten years before being held down and warped by a device. The exact reason why the Germans would want to make crooked trees is unknown, but many people have speculated that they were going to be harvested for ...
