of Otherworlds are almost universal in folklore and myth. There is not space to recount all of them, but today there has been a renewed interest in tales from the British Isles and Scandinavia, specifically those related to faeries, elves and other such Otherworldly creatures. An interesting question to consider is whether these ancient tales were perhaps references to what modern philosophers and quantum physicists now call multidimensions, parallel worlds or possible worlds. These are all terms for the theory that reality is made of many dimensions, not all of them conforming to the same laws, especially in terms of time. Faerie stories from the British Isles are of particular interest here...
Conspiracy Theorists Websites; Boo!
As you surf the Internet be careful what you read. Some information out there such as; Conspiracy Theorists Websites are often filled with some pretty tall tales. They sure will talk a good game and they all claim to have secrets to tell you. Generally the "Big Secret" is they want to sell you a book of some kind, which plays into your fears and attempts to answer questions, which both you and they neither know the answer too. You see, part of the "Secret" of all this is that there is nothing to it at all and much of this is regurgitated misdirection from the Spooky Spooks or some bizarre twist to a SciFi Movie or Spy Book. Recently I had surfed into a website claiming to have all the secret...
Best Eleven Variations on Halloween Arts and Crafts for Kids
Halloween usually conjures up images of strange shapes, dark movie characters and popular animals. These days though, these common figures can be made in more ways than one and using an assortment of different materials. Here are the top eleven variations on the most popular Halloween arts and crafts for kids. Bats It's not necessary for you to buy plastic bats for Halloween decorations.

You can easily have pumpkin...
Based Upon a True Story?
This is a line that needs to be banned from those films that are truly not based upon reality. The films that want nothing more for the audience to believe that there is some amount of truth to them. I know that many may think that this is a harmless practice, but I argue the contrary. Too often people are duped into believing that a film they just watched was based upon events that truly happened. Granted, no one is foolish to believe that a film is depicting reality as it happened. Even the most dedicated film to the truth takes liberty with reality in favor of entertainment value. Many believe this also to be a somewhat new practice. Starting out with The Blair Witch Project and growing from...
Social Media Marketing, How Shopping Has Come on in 10 Years
Who would have thought that 2010 would come so quickly? 10 years ago we were gearing up for the biggest New Year's Eve party ever. I imagined by 2010 there would be jet packs, flying cars and alien abductions (did I mention I was 11 years old 10 years ago?). I couldn't have been more wrong. However times have changed a massive amount especially when it comes to the internet. I remember our family buying our first computer; we all had to share it. We all must remember the slow dial up connection, having to unplug the modem from the phone socket whenever anybody wanted to use the phone or planning your time to make the most of the pay as you go time you had. How times have changed, imagine if we had...
Sleeping Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are more common in daytime. Studies show that 90% of panic attack sufferers go through their ordeal within their busy hours. Ordinarily, that will be within office hours where the stress level is at its peak level. In this case, the remaining 10% of panic attack sufferers experience a totally kind of panic attack which occurs mostly at night time. This is known as sleep panic attacks. Most of us may not be aware that such a thing exists. This is very common since these panic attacks are commonly associated or thought as a sleep disorder. Recent developmental studies have proven that panic attacks while sleeping differed from the usual nightmares that some of use experience while...
Is There Dog in Your Dinner
If you are reading this article in the hope of gaining some knowledge about the proper thing to feed your pet, then I apologize. I'm afraid I have deceived you. This article is not about food for pets, but rather pets as food. Before you call PETA to report me, let me explain. As we continue encroaching on the natural habitats of many predators including but not limited to cougars, coyotes, bears and alligators, we put our pets in more and more danger of becoming a quick, convenient meal for one of these predators. As more and more pets mysteriously disappear without a trace, there is not any evidence of some sort of conspiracy or alien abductions. But there is a lot of evidence that hungry...
Why Does Mystery Shopping Get Such a Bad Rep?
Recently, I've found a lot of websites bashing Mystery Shopping. They call it a scam, warn people away from it and generally make it sound like the next bubonic plague. On the one hand, that's fine by me! I've been making a healthy income for almost two years by Mystery Shopping. Some people would call it a full time income, but I have a daytime career. I only Mystery Shop in the evenings and weekends. And, since I can do it on my schedule, it's the best of all worlds. But, if other people are scared away from trying it, no skin off my nose. Less competition for me, and that means I can get the better shops. On the other hand, it makes me sad that something that has served me so well has gotten such...
Out of the Ordinary Insurance
When people think of insurance, they most likely conjure up images of cars, houses, travel and pets but there are some not-so-standard insurance policies that you may never have thought about! Believe it or not there is actually a company in Florida which offers insurance against Alien Abduction! You can insure yourself against being kidnapped by extra-terrestrials, and if you are snatched by a bright light from the sky, then you need to hope you are dropped back on Earth so you can fill in the paperwork and make a claim. So if you're worried about seeing UFO's near your home or have been watching too many X-Files episodes then this type of insurance could be just the ticket. Many celebrities over...
Profile Of A Science Fiction Character - The X-Files Fox Mulder
On October 13, 1961 Bill and Teena Mulder had a son whom they named Fox. The young Fox William Mulder was destined to become one of the best and brightest agents ever claimed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As well as the laughing stock of the country's foremost investigative agency. Fox's younger years were filled with the things of normal boys. He loved playing baseball and climbing trees. He also enjoyed Science Fiction, evidenced by the fact that he was known to dress up as Mr. Spock from Star Trek. As a teenager, he developed an affection for outer space. Though he never said he wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up, seeing the Space Shuttle launch when he was an adult was the...
A Glance Into "The Fourth Kind"
The clip for the chilling alien abduction suspenseful story "The Fourth Kind", which premiers in theaters Nov. 6, bears an instant stamp of authenticity: A straight-faced Milla Jovovich strolls toward the camera while identifying herself as the actress portraying Dr. Abigail Tyler, the movie's heroine. In succeeding quick-cut scenes, several of which look like home video footage, Jovovich interrogates frightened patients, all of whom recount similarly ominous extraterrestrial encounters. At least one individual appears to fall into ancient Sumerian through hypnosis, and an expert talks regarding millennium-old hieroglyphics containing images of astronauts. "This is a dramatization of events that...
What is Parapsychology?
There are many psychological phenomena which science doesn't yet fully understand. Parapsychology is the discipline which attempts to investigate them. Although parapsychologists use the scientific method for many of their experiments, they will often use other methods, such as qualitative analysis and case studies. Parapsychology deals with topics such as: telepathy, clairvoyance, reincarnation, hauntings, psychokinesis, precognition, remote viewing, and near death experiences. Many scientists deride parapsychology as a "pseudo-science". They see little value in spending time investigating phenomena which haven't been demonstrated to be technically true. This is, however, a defining feature of...
Chariots, Whirlwinds, and Pillars of Fire - The Biblical Case For Extraterrestrial Life Forms
Scientifically competent intellectuals have had to turn to theories involving extraterrestrials in that their existence has been constantly documented throughout time. The United States Air Force derived the term UFO in 1952 in order to "identify" the unidentifiable. The pilots did not know what they were. There was no name for objects that fly at supersonic speeds and make right turns at multiple G's in the military vernacular. So they gave them the acronym U.F.O. The German Air Force pilots called them "Foo Fighters." Roswell, Alien Abductions, numerous video and photographic evidence can no longer be explained as meteorites or weather balloons. There are oil paintings from the medieval era...
As a discipline, archaeology examines the artistic and technological remains of various cultures in the attempt to learn more about them. Often from these objects, students learn about more than the subject's material nature but also insight into the beliefs and paradigms important to the human species at a particular time. Probably the most prominent representative of the discipline in public culture is none other than Indiana Jones, with Stargate's Dr. Daniel Jackson coming in at second. As a narrative itself created at a particular point in time, the Indiana Jones movies themselves can be placed under investigation to unearth what our own culture has believed at various points in recent history...
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Movie Review
BOTTOM LINE: Indiana Jones is back with style with a strong central concept, great character moments and entertaining sequences that we've come to know and love, despite not quite hitting all the marks (and in fact missing some completely) that the previous films did. THE GOOD: The single biggest question mark hanging over this new installment in the Indiana Jones series was whether or not Harrison Ford could still play the role at his age without any mobility assistance; I'm glad to say that he's most definitely up to it and for much of the running time you can believe that no time has passed at all, save some scenes where they make his age a blatant issue. It's great to see Ford back in action and...
most UFO incidents denied by the U.S. Government, the 1947 Roswell crash refuses to go away quietly. Each time a government spokesperson invents a new explanation to contradict the theory that an alien spacecraft crashed near Roswell, one or more new witnesses come forward to support the original Air Force statement. That statement called the object a ’flying disc’ and left us with the impression that the occupants weren’t quite human. Milton Sprouse, age eighty-five, lives in Escondido, California. In 1947, he was an engine mechanic and part of the 393rd Bomb Group connected to the 509th Composite Group at Roswell. Milton arrived in Roswell during 1945 after serving on the Pacific...
The Crystal Skull
Due to the current Indiana Jones movie there has been much interest in crystal skulls. My first encounter with a crystal skull was in July of 1989. At the time I was a member of a metaphysical study group and had just returned from a month of studying the Aboriginal way of life in Australia. During the monthly meeting of our group, one of the leaders mentioned to me that she had a group going to Indianapolis the following week to see the crystal skull. My reaction was, "What's a crystal skull?" She immediately explained to me the skull had been carved from pure quartz crystal, was perfect in every way and that this particular skull had been found in Lubantaan in Belize in the 1920s by Helen...
America the Strange - 5 Exceptionally Odd New Mexico Attractions
From Texas we cut back West to New Mexico, to bring you more tales of the off-beat and bizarre from across the U.S.A. Spend a week or two in New Mexico yourself and you'll quickly understand why its earned the name, The Land Of Enchantment: 1.

UFOs Aliens Or Natives?
The recent flood of UFO reports, alien abduction, exposed military reports and television shows on the subject brings a question to mind other than the existence of such things. Where are these spacecraft and aliens from? The history channel and news reports as well Internet sources , with credible witnesses, photos and video clips have made these things existence all but scientific fact. Unless there is some sort of huge conspiracy between the entertainment industry and the military as well as hundreds, maybe thousands of pilots and sailors. Columbus even had an encounter with a USO (unidentified submerged object). Apparently alien encounters and craft sightings have been witnessed as long as man...
Kepler's Hunt for Another Planet Earth in Space
The United Nations has named 2009 the International Year of Astronomy. The year was chosen by the United Nations because it marks the four hundred year anniversary of Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei's first observations using a telescope. The International Year of Astronomy will feature a number of interesting international space projects and events. The European Space Agency has plans to launch a roving laboratory to Mars. Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic service plans to offer commercial sub-orbital space flights that should commence in 2009. Russia should be able to launch its laboratory module for the International Space Station. However, the most exciting mission in the International Year...
Flying High
Man has always been obsessed with flying. The mythical and legendary history of flying dates back to mimicking birds with feathered wings. In the attempt to fly and reach the stars, man jumped to his death from towering heights. Wright brothers in 1903 were the first to invent aircraft controls, that made fixed - wing powered flights possible. In modern aviation the airlines today are competing for space in air. Now man shuttles beyond earth and flies to space. As children we often dreamt of floating and flying. We grew idolizing the flying Superman. Flying kites is another popular sport for children and adult. Bungee jumping gives a sense of flying to the more adventurous young. Milkha Singh, the...
A Trip Back In Time Or A Crazy Summer Party Take A Pick At Your Perfect Holiday
When going on a holiday in Croatia where do you usually go? It is a very old dilemma: a soul refreshing, relaxing and very pleasant to the eye holiday in a health resort on the sea coast with beautiful gardens, old villas, seaside promenades opposed to a crazy seven day party with concerts every night combined with wild and adventurous sea and land sports during the day. If you would like to treat yourself and indulge in the fabulous range of wellness and spa treatments and therapies and are looking forward to relaxing strolls along the sea coast and in the lush parks, Opatija is the destination for you.

Take A Vacation Like This On Your Motorcycle
Are you an adventurer? Do you have the spirit of a wanderer? If so, then the hottest new trend in vacation travel, a motorcycle vacation, may be just the ticket for you. Whatever countryside you enjoy, and whatever bike you ride, a motorcycle vacation promises great fun and entertainment. Imagine a history buff that uses a motorcycle to explore old Civil War battlefields. Wilson's Creek in southwest Missouri, Pea Ridge in Northwest Arkansas, and the site of the battle of West Port near the Plaza in modern day Kansas City are all easily accessible by bike. Or, if exploring the west is more your thing, take a trek out west, starting in Sedalia, the scene of the first recorded cattle drive in...
MARGARET MEADE AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER by J.E. Ante
MARGARET MEADE AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER by J.E. Ante <P>Margaret Meade was an early sociologist that warned of higher cultures mixing with primitive cultures. She noted that most all primitive cultures were changed greatly by contacts and often disintegrated or lost all true cultural identity within a short time. Her writings and warnings were expanded upon and made law by the New World Order for their own reasons. <P>Today NASA is under the direct control of the US military as a division of the department of defense and reports directly to the President. The public believes that NASA is a civilian agency with purely scientific interests. This is a totally false perception built up...
Using Satellite Radio Anomalies as a Defense Radar Grid for ICBM Attack
With all the satellite radio users out there and all the radio waves coming in perhaps we should use this as a background pattern like a radar grid. Thus if there is a disruption passing thru like an airliner, well we have a back up system in case our radar systems go down. If there is an unidentified flying object, which shows up as a disruption anomaly with this field in an area, which is not a known flight path trajectory for airlines or military then we should start tracking it; because it could indeed be a threat to our national security. Additionally using anomalies from several sources such as data coming back from high-tech weather satellites, Department of Defense radar systems and...
Success Through Business Website Development
So there you are siting on a great business idea but the only thing that's missing from the equation is your business website. Hey! Before you get started on it, lets roll a few things around to try to come up with some answers. For instance, why is it that some people can have the what looks like on the surface to be a perfectly sensible business concept that flops on the net, while some kid selling pet rocks rakes in the money? Why Do Some Websites Take, Off While Others Flounder? Also why is that your constantly hearing about "unidentified flying object" websites that are getting thousands of hits a day, while sites that show people how to extend their lives for an extra decade sit fallow? Whats...
Area 51 - Place For Experimenting the Secret Weapon
The U.S. Government once had declined the existence of Area 51. What is it that they try to hide? Or it is the army of extraterrestrials? If one asks that which U.S. soil is the most secret area; the answer might be Area 51 as there are many people claiming that they see UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) flying over such area frequently and so many people guess that Area 51 might be army or commanding area of UFO. Working morning Every morning of working day, there are at least 500 people passing the entrance going up to the airplane with strict guard which is at the wing of the Northwestern area of Maccaran Airport in Las Vegas. The owner of this restricted area is EG&G - Edgerton, Germesausen...
Woodbridge - Suffolk, England - A Beautiful Place to Stop
The town of Woodbridge - Suffolk is located in the county of Suffolk in England. The town rests on the side of the River Deben. The town has a population of approximately seven thousand, four hundred and eighty people. The town boasts the industry of boat building, rope and sail making.

Presently the town has a working tide mill that has been there since 1170. This is one of two working tide mills in the United Kingdom. This is recorded as the earliest one in history. The water wheel still turns and it is open for public viewing. It is housed in a three story...
Important Considerations For Motorcycle Safety
Although motorcycle safety isn't a walk in the park, it isn't all that hard, either. Mostly, motorcycle safety depends on: - Commonsense - Proper Training and licensure - Proper Clothing - Proper maintenance and operation Looking at each item, you can see the common-sense part of the picture. Think of it this way, all that separates you - the bike driver - from the roadway or other cars and trucks is either the clothing you are wearing or, if you use your head, the leathers you are wearing. That's it. You just can't get into an argument with a car or truck because you will inevitably lose, no matter how swiftly you think your bike reacts. (Physics still rules here and it still takes X amount of time...
Have Fun Searching For Paranormal by Your Own Fire Pit
If you are interested in the paranormal, a fire pit can make an excellent addition to your stargazing sessions. Looking for UFOs can be fun. However, even during the summer the temperature can be chilly at night. Fire pits can help keep you warm as you keep your eyes on the skies. If you like to travel to different places to stargaze, consider purchasing a portable fire pit that you will be able to take with you. Even if you do not believe in UFOs, it can be fun to look up into the open nighttime sky with an open and curious mind. You might not see an unidentified flying object, but you will certainly see some beautiful constellations. You might even see a shooting star or two. Remember to take...
The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar - Part 3
Probable futures, parallel realities, time-travel, and the real reason for the abductions (temporary detainments) by "alien grays" are explained clearly by Bashar's unprecedented insight and understanding on these subjects. The existence of Atlantis and how it ended is also confirmed by at least three entirely unrelated sources: Leslie Flint direct voice mediumship, a scientific article by Steven M. Stanley, and Bashar himself. In order to have a better understanding of where Bashar really is coming from, it is necessary to become familiar with the concept of two vital aspects of nature that extend beyond the realms of one's conventional understanding of life: 1) The existence of dimensions higher...
The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar - Part 2
In order to have a better understanding of where Bashar really is coming from, it is necessary to become familiar with the concept of two vital aspects of nature that extend beyond the realms of one's conventional understanding of life: 1) The existence of dimensions higher than the fourth dimension of time, especially those dimensions of life that contain all the parallel universes of reality; and 2) The existence of higher vibrational realities of the afterlife or astral planes which includes all the "spheres" or worlds of dark matter and beyond. The first aspect implies there are various time lines (or different "histories") beyond this one; in other words, there could be an infinite number of...
I'm going to go out on a limb here. I'm going to make a prediction concerning the current state of paranormal study. In a sense it's predicting itself. All one has to do really is step back and look as objectively as possible at a few key aspects. You must look at the experiences globally as they are reported and note the mental/emotional aspects and physical reactions when available then you must look at the cultural aspects of the events and finally you have but to look at the current media publishing the events and see with a very broad lens what the bigger picture is after analyzing the broadest spectrum of published material. After you have done this, and granted, there is a little effort...
Viral Memetic Infection - The Psychological Stumbling Block of the Paranormal Community
Zeal. Fervor. Blind Faith. Unswerving Belief. These are the symptoms and attributes that denote the ugly side of religion. Religion being that which is a system or enacted operation of ideas that are anchored into one's psyche and thereby act as a format or basis of day to day functionality in one's own life. We all have a religion, be it in the accepted wisdom traditions of the world, science, atheism, agnosticism or any structure whereby one has devised a foundation of principles to govern one's self by. A meme. There is nothing inherently wrong with a memetic mindset unless the mindset is one of division, polarity or a superiority complex in nature. These tend to be harmful as brother against...
Roswell New Mexico UFO Crash - Fact Or Fiction?
The now infamous Roswell UFO Incident involved the salvage of suspicious apparatus near Roswell, New Mexico, United States, on the 7th of July 1947. Since the early 1980s it has become the focus of powerful rumors and probing questions around what exactly happened at this alleged crash site. While several books were published into incident it has always been suggested that there was much more to the Roswell incident than the mere recovery of a weather balloon, skeptics instead saw the increasingly elaborate accounts as evidence of a conspiracy theory being constructed. It is this which makes the Roswell UFO incident the perfect conspiracy theory. The existence of limited evidence to support the...

Stress - Hindrance to Weight Loss
We cannot deny; defy, an emotional root to our every action. Food being one of our major weaknesses thus has been tapping on the emotional connections and resting heavily upon weight loss drives. Getting off the plateau is successfully possible if an epiphany is successfully dealt with: The co-relation between Weight loss and stress levels. Unless one gets to know about the full impact of stress on his system, he can't fight it back. The dictionary definition provides multiple facets to stress, which share a common ground. Mental (or, emotional) strain is a suspense created by imaginary threats and the resulting physical responses. The imagery is often derived from real-life situations, which may...
Space, the Final Frontier
I'm a trekkie - I know what the "T" stands for in Captain James T. Kirk, I know where he was born and how he cheated his way through the Star Fleet Space Academy exam. I know who was the first Captain of the Star Ship Enterprise (not Kirk!), the inspiration for my cell phone's Blue Tooth device and that my first cell phone (the Motoral Star Tac) was originally Kirk's crew's communicator. I also know the Prime Directive that guided every mission and alien encounter: Starfleet's General Order #1, the most prominent guiding principle of the United Federation of Planets says there can be no interference with the internal affairs of other civilizations. Do you know your "Prime Directive"? Do you know the...
What Is In My Coffee?
One cold winter morning in a small town north of Chicago IL a man named Jim stands totally paralyzed. He just witnessed what appeared to be a sign that we are not alone in the universe. As he stands with his head looking up at the north sky and he tries to comprehend what just happened. It was a regular morning just like every other. The winter chill pierced the skin and made the body shiver just like it would every other January. The difference this time was the sky seemed to be dimmer. While on his way to work Jim stopped in for a cup of his favorite coffee, and he noticed something new a flavored coffee called Bourbon Truffle. He asked the clerk in the store "Is this coffee made with real bourbon...

So you wanted to be different and unique? It is your desire to get maximum attention from your friends, relatives and the community? Get yourself an alien tattoo design that would fulfill your wish for attention and popularity. We have not encountered real aliens. What we have are the artist's imagination and interpretation of accounts of supposedly alien encounter that we saw on TV, movies, magazines and other media. It might be that the mystery and the stories attributed to aliens attract us toward them but we cannot deny that we are easily enthralled by these accounts and it stirs our imagination. Alien tattoo designs are now accessible in many varieties. You may select a horrible but gentle...
The Military and UFO's in Warminster
Warminster is a town in Wiltshire. Its name most likely comes from the Were river that runs through town as its original name was Wereminster. The changing of the name occurred sometime during the early 10th century. The town original was an iron age hill fort that was constructed during the Saxon period. Today the iron age fort site is a conservation area. The town did not become very prosperous until the wool trade became important. The prosperity from wool created many beautiful buildings including Salisbury Cathedral and the Minister Church of Saint Denys. Besides wool Warminster was rich due to the corn market. Many of the warehouses and stores still standing are from the corn market days...
Responsible Childhood Sweets & Tooth Care
Memories from your childhood can be very emotive such as the smell associated with such sweets as sherberts, pineapple chunks and flying saucers. Many parents feel the need to let their children experience the same sweets that they did in their youth and this is perfectly acceptable. The one thing that we should all bare in mind though is the state of our children's teeth. Children not brushing their teeth will be more susceptible to tooth decay. The main point here is to remember that as parents we need to look after our children's teeth and try and prevent tooth and gum decay as well as cavities from forming in their mouths. Medical studies have shown that children can eat some sweets but that...

Memoir Writers Who Influenced Me
Unquiet Mind, Can of Madness, Darkness Visible, Best Awful, Girl Interrupted It's hard to compare writers on the trouble of mental illness. They each approach the giant bubble from a different perspective - some broadly, some narrowly, some eloquently, and some in a plain vernacular. Here are five I read who had enough effect on me that I underlined their words or commented on their style. None of the books I read are technical manuals, but rather are memoirs or stories.
