Well, its not an Oscar, but twelve hundred people entered and its always nice to be recognized. The concept is actually a pet project of mine I wrote a few years ago that I truly believe would be a big hit and do some good. The show is called HOUSE OF BABEL. Twelve contestants from twelve different nations, all of whom speak twelve different languages, are forced to live under one roof. Divided into two groups, the contestants must learn to live together, communicate, function, and work as a team in order to win the Grand Prize. Sound like something youd enjoy?

As many of you know, I have been diagnosed with PD. Four months ago, a fan of mine, Dr. Chuck Gerlach, e- mailed me about a natural food science product that he swore was helping people suffering with ailments from low energy, mood instability, fibromyalgia and migraines to Parkinson's, MS, cancer and various auto-immune diseases including arthritis. I told him thanks, but no thanks. Everyone is always trying to sell me something, and I saw no logical in how his product could possibly work. He kept at me, and I kept saying no. About a week later I had a very rough night. My leg was spasming and my throat was very tight. Unable to sleep, growing anxious, I stayed up and prayed and wrote and finally fell asleep around 4 AM. The next day Chuck sent me another e-mail with Parkinsons patients who were using the product to alleviate their symptoms. I called two people. I gave them the third degree. I believed them. (No one can fake this to someone who really has the disease). Chuck wanted no money, he just sent me product. I told him I wouldnt say a word to my fan base unless I was 100% convinced it was working. IM CONVINCED. The products come in a powder form used in a quick shake and they have eased MY shakes with zero side effects. It makes no sense to me WHY they work, they just do. I am NOT selling the products, I am just someone who is grateful and wants to help others, as Chuck did for me. If you are suffering from any of these ailments, I urge you to contact Dr. Gerlach (he is a psychologist, not a medical doctor) at cgerlach41@aol.com and include your name, your phone number, the best time to contact you and a description of your health concern. Chuck can arrange for you to hear from people who had experienced similar health concerns but are now active and pain-free.

Phobos means fear. Tracing back to the Mayan roots of Domain, the storyline is blowing me away. After you read it, you will be afraid.

In Eastern philosophy, they believe that the tongue offers a map to our organs, said Jonathan Levine, DMD. The tongue can tell you a lot about your overall health. If the tongue is white with a cracked coating, you may have a digestive disorder. Gray or brownish gray you may have stomach or intestinal problems. Yellow or yellow green, you may have liver or gallbladder issues. White with a reddish border, you may have a toxic colon. Coated with red spots, it could be an indicator of heart problems. Turning from white to yellow at the root you may have kidney problems. White you may be releasing toxins. A healthy tongue is pink with a little bit of texture to it. A white-coated tongue indicates a lot of dead bacteria in the mouth, Levine said. The coating represents the death of what was once live bacteria living above the tongue. Frequent dry mouth and a lack of oxygen can cause these bacteria to die and end up coating the tongue. This can cause volatile sulfa compounds to release in the mouth and, 90 percent of the time, its these compounds that are the cause of bad breath, said Levine. It also puts the mouth out of balance causing gum disease and can lead to a fungal infection called candida. Problems with the tongue can also indicate oral cancer, of which early detection is necessary, Levine said. If you have a sore on the tongue that is not going away, or a sore that bleeds and does not heal, or notice blue or black spots on the tongue, you need to see a dentist right away because it could be oral cancer, he said. There are 30,000 new cases of oral cancer in the U.S. every year and 7,400 deaths. And 25 percent of oral cancer cases are not linked to smoking cigarettes. Its a very common cancer, but its also very curable, thats why early detection is important. Levine suggests regularly checking the tongue for signs of discoloration and odd coatings. To do this, stand in front of a mirror, stick out the tongue and check the top, underneath and sides of the tongue.
