Once prosperous New Yorkers forced to live under canvas in New Jersey woods
Monday, 3 October 2011 - 8:26 AM SL Time
|
The white picket fence and manicured flowerbeds outside 1 Paradise Lane are straight from a picture postcard of idyllic suburban American life in the 1950s.
But its walls are no more than canvas. Its porch overlooks smouldering bonfires and scrawny hens scratching at dirt. And mail never arrives in the letterbox that was hand-painted by Marilyn Berenzweig.
Mrs Berenzweig, 61, used to make $100,000 ( 63,333) a year as a designer in New York`s garment district. Now she and her husband Michael are down and out in `Tent City` in Lakeland, New Jersey. There is no electricity or running water and racoons steal their food. It`s not an easy life, she said.

Tiny brown dwarf found floating free in space
Astronomers have found a `failed star`, or brown dwarf, only six times the size of Jupiter, along with two dozen others that float free in space.
One cluster contains a surprising number of them - half as many as normal stars.
`Our findings suggest once again that objects not much bigger than Jupiter could form the same way as stars do,` says professor Ray Jayawardhana of the University of Toronto.
`In other words, nature appears to have more than one trick up its sleeve for producing planetary mass objects.`

Coconut Oil Benefits In Cooking
Coconut contains many health benefits and is a nutritious source of meat, milk juice and oil. For generations it has been effectively used to feed, fuel and cure a large percentage of the world`s population, especially in the Asian and Pacific countries.
While coconut possesses many health benefits due to its fiber, vitamins and nutritional content, it`s the oil that makes it a truly remarkable food and medicine.
Coconut oil used to be regarded as oil, high in saturated fat and therefore not good for our diet. But recent studies have shown that the coconut oil is a different sort of saturated fat that reacts differently in our bodies.

A Romantic Poem - for a Break.

I have seen you a million times
And every time I see you
I fall in love with you all over again
My heart starts to race
My frown turns into a smile
And all my worries are now in my past
When you smile at me my heart melts
You give the sweetest hugs
Every time you hug me
Your smile is like a new day
Your sense of humour is like no other
The ability you have to make me smile
Is all you need you love me
Your laugh is so soft and sweet
Just looking in your eyes
Makes me melt inside

Honestly, what will become of me?
I don`t like reality
It`s way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don`t see
We miss everything daydreaming
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Ohh ohh...
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I`ll be your strength,
I`ll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it`s gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I`ve loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
