When it comes to 3D television, I don’t see it. Literally. The technology that’s supposed to convince me that a 3D image exists when I look at a 2D screen doesn’t work for me.
Nor does it work for a small but significant percentage of the population — 4 percent to 10 percent, depending on which [...]
When it came to change, my father had it licked. His motto was simply “Don’t let it happen to you.”
He proudly wore the same tie he’d had since college. He moved house just three times — ever. But his town and his life were epicenters of low upheaval.

Little Winnie Tilin – just 16 months old – was pulled alive from the rubble of her family’s home after 68 HOURS. Her faint moans were heard by chance by a TV crew filming the devastation which has already claimed [...]
US troops and UN peacekeepers are to help keep order on Haiti’s increasingly dangerous streets as aid workers struggle to get help to victims of the earthquake.
More than 2,200 US Marines are due to arrive later with heavy equipment to clear debris and bolster security. America is aiming to have a total of around 10,000 [...]
Showing just one of many wild adventures in Newfoundland, iceberg kayaking. In this picture you can see the bottom of the iceberg lurking in the jade coloured waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Kayaking near icebergs is one of those wild adventures where you have to be extremely careful not to get too close as they [...]
Strickly speaking, Mele Kalikimaka, is not a translation of Merry Christmas in Hawaiian.
