Alien Images Appear On Wall In Western Canada
Some Believe Images Are Just Reflection From Window
.
CALGARY, Alberta -- Some believe aliens have landed in western Canada after seeing strange reflections appear almost nightly on the wall of a Calgary home.
"I looked out and I thought, 'Oh my gosh, I've lost my mind,'" resident Karen Henuset said of the first time she saw the specters. "So I asked our nanny to come and take a look at this, and the hair on her arms just stood straight up."
It's as "clear as day. You see two eyes on each of them; they both have this little thing over their head. It's a little weird," said resident Reid Henuset.
A neighbor said he believes the image is a reflection off of a window. And it only happens every afternoon between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The only sure way the image goes away -- clouds.
Although some adults may be skeptics, ask the neighborhood kids what they think and the answer is unanimous.
"There's aliens, real-life aliens on a wall," one unidentified girl said. "No one believes us."

Most everyone believes the images are not real aliens but the sun's reflection off a nearby window. The images show up daily in the late afternoon unless there are clouds.

21-YEAR-OLD MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE DRIFTS 1,735 MILES
SEATTLE, Washington — Merle Brandell and his black lab Slapsey were beachcombing along the Bering Sea when he spied a plastic bottle among the Japanese glass floats he often finds along the shore of his tiny Alaskan fishing village.He walked over and saw an envelope tucked inside. After slicing the bottle open, Brandell found a message from an elementary school student in a suburb of Seattle. The fact that the letter traveled 1,735 miles without any help from the U.S. postal service is unusual, but that's only the beginning of the mystery.
About 21 years passed between the time Emily Hwaung put the message in a soda bottle and Merle Brandell picked it up on the beach.
"This letter is part of our science project to study oceans and learn about people in distant lands," she wrote. "Please send the date and location of the bottle with your address. I will send you my picture and tell you when and where the bottle was placed in the ocean. Your friend, Emily Hwaung."

Connecticut Driver Caught Speeding Blames an Oreo
SALISBURY, Conn. — Police say a man's excuse for speeding through a small Connecticut town takes the cake — or, at least, the cookie. A state trooper who stopped the 1993 BMW says its driver, 28-year-old Justin Vonkummer of Millerton, N.Y., blamed the driving problems on an errant Oreo. Police say Vonkummer told the trooper that an Oreo had just slipped from his fingers as he dunked it in a cup of milk, and that he was trying to fish it out.

The Standard American Diet
If you were to list the factors that increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, intestinal disorders, just about any illness, the Standard American Diet has them all:
High in animal fats
High in unhealthy fats: saturated, hydrogenated
Low in fiber
High in processed foods
Low in complex carbohydrates
Low in plant-based foods
The striking fact is that cultures that eat the reverse of the standard American diet – low fat, high in complex carbohydrates, plant-based, and high in fiber – have a lower incidence of cancer and coronary artery disease (CAD).What's even sadder is that countries, whose populations can afford to eat the healthiest disease-preventing foods, don't.The United States has spent more money on cancer research than any country in the world. Yet the American diet contributes to the very diseases we are spending money to prevent.
