"I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff." A significant time period for the Mayas does end on the date, and enthusiasts have found a series of astronomical alignments they say coincide in 2012, including one that happens roughly only once every 25,800 years.

It was a central feature of the Libertyland amusement park, which closed four years ago for redevelopment of the Mid-South Fairgrounds. The coaster dated to 1912.

The former park's Grand Carousel was dismantled last year and stored at an undisclosed location in Memphis.

If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware.

There are other Spyware and Adware removal programs available online, however you should exercise caution as many of them claim to remove Spyware but in fact install Spyware themselves...more
