HI, Welcome to Catchsome.
Beautiful Moon
A full moon occurred on Dec. 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown.
"If you're in Times Square, you'll see the full moon right above you. It's going to be that brilliant," said Jack Horkheimer, director emeritus of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV show.
The New Year's Eve blue moon will be visible in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Africa. For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up until New Year's Day, making January a blue moon month for them.
However, the Eastern Hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse on New Year's Eve when part of the moon enters the Earth's shadow. The eclipse will not be visible in the Americas.
A full moon occurs every 29.5 days, and most years have 12. On average, an extra full moon in a month — a blue moon — occurs every 2.5 years. The last time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007. New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won't come again until 2028.
Blue moons have no astronomical significance, said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
"`Blue moon' is just a name in the same sense as a `hunter's moon' or a `harvest moon.
The popular definition of blue moon came about after a writer for Sky & Telescope magazine in 1946 misinterpreted the Maine Farmer's Almanac and labeled a blue moon as the second full moon in a month. In fact, the almanac defined a blue moon as the third full moon in a season with four full moons, not the usual three.
Though sky & telescope corrected the error decades later, the definition caught on. For purists, however, this New Year's Eve full moon doesn't even qualify as a blue moon. It's just the first full moon of the winter season.
When the moon on a cloud cast night,
Hung above the tree tops height,
You sang me of some distant past,
That made my heart beat strong and fast,
Now I know I'm home at last.
You offered me an eagle's wing,
That to the sun I might soar and sing,
And if I heard the owl's cry,
Into the forest I would fly,
And in its darkness find you by.
And so our love's not a simple thing,
Nor our truths unwavering,
But like the moon's pull on the tide,
Our fingers touch our hearts collide,
I'll be a moonsbreath by your side.

Cancer
One of the most scariest words (cancer)
Cells are the building blocks of living things. Cancer grows out of normal cells in the body. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn't need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly. It can also occur when cells “forget” how to die.
There are many different kinds of cancers. Cancer can develop in almost any organ or tissue, such as the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue.
There are many causes of cancers, including:
Benzene and other chemicals
Certain poisonous mushrooms and a type of poison that can grow on peanut plants (aflatoxins)
Certain viruses
Radiation
Sunlight
Tobacco
However, the cause of many cancers remains unknown.
The most common cause of cancer-related death is lung cancer.
The three most common cancers in men in the United States are:
Prostate cancer
Lung cancer
Colon cancer
In women in the U.S., the three most common cancers are:
Breast cancer
Colon cancer
Lung cancer
Some cancers are more common in certain parts of the world. For example, in Japan, there are many cases of Gastric cancer, but in the U.S. this type of cancer is pretty rare. Differences in diet may play a role.
Some other types of cancers include:
Brain cancer
Cervical cancer
Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Kidney cancer
Leukemia
Liver cancer
Non_Hodgkin's lymphoma
Ovarian cancer
Skin cancer
Testicular cancer
Thyroid cancer
Uterine cancer
Please!! Make sure you follow up with your doctor and get the proper tests and take care of yourself. Most cancers can be treated if found in a early stage. Here are a few sites for information. Remember, early detection, proper treatment and strong family support gives you a long happy, healthly life. God Bless

ARE YOU BEING CHEATED ON - AND DON'T EVEN KNOW IT? ***
I have a question for you...
Have you ever noticed that when it comes to OTHER peoples
relationships, everyone suddenly turns into Dick Tracy?
Just tell them what's going on in someone else's relationship
and they will instantly roll their eyes and say "well she's
cheating on him" or "he's screwing someone else".
A funny thing happens though when it comes to your own
relationships. People go from being "super detective" to
being deaf, dumb and blind.
The reason for this is they lack OBJECTIVITY.
They cannot look at their own relationships with any
objectivity. They can spot someone in another relationship
cheating from a mile away, but can't do the same with their
own.
And this is the 3rd notorious mistake people make when they
think they're being cheated on.
You absolutely must distance yourself from your relationship
-- examine the facts -- and add everything up from there.
This is also known as becoming emotionally detached.
Let me put it to you this way.
Think back to one of the happiest periods in your life -- a
time where a lot of things seemed to be going right.
Now, if during that time one of your friends had come to you
to "lean on your shoulder" about some relationship problems
they were having (and as it turns out their problems are
identical to what you're now going through), what would your
thoughts have been?
Not what are your thoughts right now, but what would your
thoughts have been about this during that happy period in
your life.
You probably would have a different opinion about your
relationship back then you do now.
You see, right now you don't have any clarity, any
objectivity.
But you need to get it right now -- and bad.
Try to look at your relationship as if it were someone
else's. It's not easy to do, but everyone has the ability to
do it.
Do it, and you'll probably be surprised at what you come up
with.
