My friend Devie lives in the country. She has some sort of animal making a nest in her car. Twice this week she has replace the spark pluge wiring and the little rodent keeps coming back. Oddly, it doesn't seem to like the taste of the other 4 cars at her house, just her caddie. Any advice is welcomed

When I'm feeling reckless with my money or I'm in a celebratory mood, I always splurge on a bottle or two of Chimay. Chimay comes in two varieties: Rouge and Bleue. The Rouge or Red, is dark-brown, has a fruity aroma and a sweet, nutty taste with a slight peppery bite. It's not too heavy and tastes best very, very cold. The more popular Bleue or Blue, is a dark ale, copper-brown in color with a creamy head and a slight bitter taste. Both these beers pair really well with a hearty, meaty meal, or alone. Either way you'll be satisfied with the crispness and flavor of these well-crafted brews. Like I said before though, this is definitely a luxury. But one worth everyone of the ten dollars per bottle. Chimay is brewed in Belgium by Trappist monks at a monastery, all the money made from the sales go to the production of the beer and cheeses, the upkeep of the monastery and to charitable foundations in the community. So not only is Chimay an exquisitely tasting beer, it is also socially conscious and it's made by monks! It's got the stamp of approval of God. What's there not to love about this beer?

You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay You Can Heal Your Life is a self-help book that uses the nurturing of the spirit as the foundation for building better life. This book is enjoying 24 years in publication, numerous translations and it's even been made into a movie. I decided I wanted to re-read this book and find out if it is still relevant. The first time I read this book I was very young and the self-help genre was still new to me. I had the misconception that these types of books were for middle-aged people who were confused about their lives, so I didn't see how I could relate to any of the content. You Can Heal Your Life was a very easy book to read and to understand. The message was very clear: What you think, you create. Kind of predecessor of The Secret, this book tells us that our attitude toward ourselves and toward the world around us determines what our lives are to become. It also addresses where these attitudes stem from and the action necessary for overcoming them. Louise Hay opens up about her own life and struggles, and makes a compelling case for the power of change. The book is accented with positive affirmations and heartfelt wisdom. There is also a section of the book dedicated to the link between health problems and psychological injuries. The book covers a lot of spiritual ground. Having re-read the book recently, I couldn't help but feel a little cynical about it. This time around I felt that Hay was over-simplifying some very complex issues about psychological traumas. I got the feeling that Hay had been very fortunate in her life by finding the right people to surround herself with, and thus was able to overcome her adverse situations. Positive thinking is always good for the soul, and the book makes some very good points of why it's important to have a positive attitude about oneself, and gives the reader the steps to take to a better life. But it feels trite and dumbed down. I think this is a good book to begin with if your on a journey to self-improvement. This book is a good introduction to some of the concepts and terms that are found in may other books of it's kind. Over all, it's a classic worth reading for a little perspective.

This is some pretty trippy stuff. The space telescope Hubble picked up some images of two clusters of galaxies about 5.7 billion light years away colliding with each other, making for some pretty cool images. Not only that, scientists are now able to get some insight on things like "dark matter" and "dark energy". According to recent research 23% of the Universe consists of dark matter, 4% is ordinary matter such as the galaxies, stars, gas, and planets; the remainder 73% is made up of dark energy. What does this all mean to us? I don't know, I'm still having a hard time wrapping my mind around these concepts. Does anyone have a way of explaining this that makes sense to the average person?
