How one man negotiated his way out of $150,000 in debt
In 2005, indie film screenwriter Kenny Golde's finances were in nothing short of mint condition.
"I had less than $10,000 in credit card debt, more than $100,000 in unused lines of credit, a FICO score over 800, and about $100,000 in savings even after the downpayment on my home," he says. "I even adopted a dog."
Then the bottom fell out. Within a year, a perfect storm of financial and professional mishaps would carry him down a seemingly never-ending rabbit's hole of debt.

Skydiver breaks sound barrier
Extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner made a death-defying free fall that made him the first skydiver to break the sound barrier, according to organizers.
In a journey that lasted 4 minutes and 20 seconds, he fell at a speed of 1,342.8 km/h, which broke the sound barrier — 1,200 km/h. That amounts to Mach 1.24, which is faster than the speed of sound. No one has ever reached that speed wearing only a high-tech suit.

Halloween is a magical night. Little toddler boys and girls usually love to dress up like their favorite character from a movie, book or TV show. The classic storybook characters never go out of style, and while superheroes are from long ago, they’re still today’s top blockbuster movies.
Classic Costumes for Women
Some Halloween costumes stick around year after year because they’re staples of the holiday night. One of the main staples that you’ll always see at Halloween is a witch costume.
Witch costumes can easily be spotted by the tall, pointed hats or the broomstick accessories – but the difference in some of the costumes is the style. There are eerily frightening witch costumes, complete with warty nose and pointed chin – but there are witch costumes that are much more glamorous and even sexy.

Searing ‘super-Earth’ 55 Cancri E may be a diamond planet
When astronomers first discovered 55 Cancri E back in 2004, they found a massive 'super-Earth' planet, twice the diameter of Earth and over eight times Earth's mass. It orbits so close to its Sun-like star, 55 Cancri A — around 25 times closer than Mercury is to our Sun — that a year there would be only 18 Earth-hours long, and its surface temperature would be a nearly 2000 degrees C.

A Lot of women always seem to choose men that are not right for them. They end up dating a string of losers and never seem to know why they can’t find a good man. You need to be consciously aware not only of what you are attracted to, but also what you find unacceptable, and you need to take immediate action when a man has those unacceptable traits.

Amber Tamblyn wears a yellow dress to her star-studded wedding
Amber Tamblyn arriving for her wedding (twitter.com/questlove)Brightly colored autumn leaves were the backdrop for Amber Tamblyn's rustic weekend wedding, so it was fitting that the bride opted for an equally bold hue for her dress: yellow!
When the "House M.D." actress married actor David Cross, 48, on October 6, she arrived at the ceremony in a red canoe. Clutching a yellow bouquet, Tamblyn, 29, was escorted by her father, actor Russ Tamblyn — and they were both barefoot for their walk down the aisle. Tamblyn and her much older beau, whom she has been dating since 2008, then exchanged vows in front of about 100 guests. After saying "I do," Tamblyn — who got her start on TV's "General Hospital" — threw her arms up in the air in celebration.

Later, gators: Alligators found in NY supermarket parking lot
Alligators are a common enough sight in Florida. But in a New York parking lot? Rare. At least until two showed up at a Pathmark supermarket parking lot on Long Island two days in a row: a 2- to 3-foot-long gator on Tuesday, and then a 3- to 4-foot-long one on Wednesday.
Luckily, responding officers were able to catch the animals and turn them over to the Emergency Services Unit.
While some gators are welcome, even making a splash at kids' pool parties (it's true, check out the video), these alligators on the loose are definitely doing a good job of scaring the locals.
