I'M BACK!
2010-02-26 18:28:00
Sorry for the long absence. I'm back with a site containing a lot of very important information that everyone needs to pay attention to. You will need to keep an open mind, because much of the information sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. But, if you stop and think about it, a lot of it really does feel true. At least to me and many others. This site gets over one million views per month! Please take the time to check out this site, watch some of the interviews, and pass it on to everyone you know. If even only a tiny fraction of it is true, we need to learn all we can, as quickly as possible. Thanks!Project Camelot~Sandy G.

First, I want to thank Jim Ames from UFOHQ.ORG. He donated $20 to help me out and started a campaign for me! I also want to thank everyone that has kept me in their prayers and thoughts. It worked! I got the job. It isn't full-time, but it's a job and has the potential for more hours eventually. I don't know if it is going to help in time to keep my Internet going without interruption, but at least I know I won't be down for long if it does happen. So please don't give up on me if I do disappear for a while. Love and BIG hugs to everyone!~Sandy G.

By NICHOLAS WADE, The New York Times Microbiologists have now added something else to the list of things too gross to contemplate: the deluge of bacteria that hit your face and flow deep into your lungs in the morning shower. Showers in New York carry a particularly high dose of a microbe related to tuberculosis called Mycobacterium avium. The bacterium and its close cousins can cause a variety of exotic chest complaints, including lifeguard’s lung, hot tub lung and Lady Windermere’s syndrome. This unwelcome peek behind the shower curtain has been provided by a group of microbiologists headed by Norman R. Pace of the University of Colorado.

By TARA PARKER-POPE, The New York TimesIt sounds so simple as to be innocuous, a throwaway line in public-health warnings about swine flu. But one of the most powerful weapons against the new H1N1 virus is summed up in a three-word phrase you first heard from your mother: wash your hands.A host of recent studies have highlighted the importance and the scientific underpinning of this most basic hygiene measure. One of the most graphic was done at the University of California, Berkeley, where researchers focused video cameras on 10 college students as they read and typed on their laptops.The scientists counted the times the students touched their faces, documenting every lip scratch, eye rub and nose pick. On average, the students touched their eyes, noses and lips 47 times during a three-h
