- This Memorial Day weekend, many homeowners might be trading in their backyard grill for a paintbrush. Although the long weekend is synonymous with recreation and relaxation, a survey finds that many will use this time to give their home a quick, mid-year spruce-up. According to the survey, 40 percent of Americans are planning a home improvement project of some type during this holiday weekend.

- Music is good for us! It doesn’t matter if it’s country or classical, listening to music will give your soul a quick jolt of happiness. That’s the word from researchers (Penn State University) who have shown that when we hear music we like, bad moods are banished and good moods are enhanced… What music does: It makes listeners more optimistic, joyful, friendly, relaxed, and calm, and helps vanish feelings of pessimism and sadness… What music doesn’t do: It won’t ease feelings of fear, sadness, hate, or aggression, and it does nothing to increase feelings of love.

- Officials in Houston are asking neighbors to check inside their storm drains after a big screen TV was found clogging a drain in the city. A resident of a Houston neighborhood (Greensbrook Place) said the TV had been in the storm drain for some time before it was removed. Witnesses said the TV appeared to be a 40-inch flat screen.

- Yoga is dangerous! A woman participating in a yoga class in Miami Beach was taken to the hospital after a tree snapped and struck her in the head. Part of the class involved tying a tight rope between two trees in a park. At one point, one of the trees snapped and struck the woman in the head.


- The key to long-lasting marital happiness sounds a bit jaded, but researchers (Ohio State University, University of Florida) nailed it: lower your expectations for marriage, and you won’t be so disappointed with the relationship’s normal ups and downs. 82 couples who had been married less than three months participated in the four-year study in which each spouse was independently questioned. Seventeen couples divorced by the end of the four years. Those who believed their partner would be unfailingly kind and loving and agree with their every word managed to retain this positive outlook by being forgiving and having charitable explanations for their partner’s negative behavior. But those individuals who had extremely high expectations and did not have these excellent relationship skills were more likely to be sorely disappointed with their one true love.
