By Early To Rise | 06/14/2008

The imminent end of the world has been predicted… well, probably since the first humans set foot on the planet. The date now in vogue with some New Age types is December 12, 2012. This coincides with the end of the current cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar, and also marks the day when the sun will be aligned with the exact center of the Milky Way galaxy for the first time in 26,000 years.

Living Rich the Wrong Way: Nate’s Dream House on Oprah

By Judith Strauss | 06/12/2008

I recently watched a disturbingly warm and fuzzy Oprah show.

Nutrition Tip to Boost Fat Loss

By Craig Ballantyne | 06/10/2008

You bust your butt in the gym – and it’s working. You lose weight, drop a few inches, and are feeling good. Then, suddenly, you stop seeing results. The plateau phase of any fat-loss program may be normal, but it can be frustrating.
