ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -

Where on Earth is the best place to find meteorites?
Antarctica. But that's not necessarily because more
meteorites hit there. The thing about Antarctica is this:
there's a whole lot of ice and a lot less that is "not-ice."
That makes it easier to find anything "not-ice" than if you
were searching for it, say, in a rainforest or a New York
City dump. It also helps that the ice helps push things to
the surface, so you can see them better.
When was the New Year's Eve ball first dropped in Times
Square?
Each New Year's Eve, thousands of people descend into New
York's Times Square to watch the giant ball dropped from the
top of One Times Square at the stroke of midnight. It's a
tradition dating back to December 31, 1907! Only twice, in
1942 and 1943, was the ball lowering suspended (due to
wartime). The celebration in Times Square dates back even
further, to December 31, 1904, when the rooftop celebration
took the form of a fireworks display.

Your “Success” Instinct
Do you know about the "success instinct"? A squirrel does
not have to be taught how to gather nuts. Nor does it need
to learn that it should store them for the winter. A
squirrel born in the spring has never even experienced a
winter. Yet in the fall of the year you can observe that
squirrel busily storing nuts for the lean winter months.
Birds do not take nest-building lessons. They have no
ability to read maps, yet they can return to exact locations
year after year. These instincts assist the animal to
successfully cope with its environment. This is the
"success instinct".
You have a success instinct as well. Animal's goals are
pre-set; yours are completely up to your creative
imagination. An animal's success is limited to its built-in
goal-images that we call instincts; your success is
unlimited.
You are not a machine, however, you do have a
"servo-mechanism". Maxwell Maltz wrote that "...your
physical brain and nervous system make up a servo-mechanism
which you use, and which operates very much like an
electronic computer, and a mechanical goal-seeking device.
Your brain and nervous system constitute a goal-striving
mechanism, which operates automatically to achieve a certain
goal, very much as a self-aiming torpedo or missile seeks
out its target and steers its way to it. Your built-in
servo-mechanism functions both as a "guidance system' to
automatically steer you in the right direction to achieve
certain goals, or make correct responses to environment, and
also as an "electronic brain" which can function
automatically to solve problems, give you needed answers,
and provide new ideas or 'inspirations'."
There are two general types of these mechanisms. One
functions when the target, goal or answer is know and your
objective is to reach or accomplish it, and the other
function when the target, goal or answer is not known and
the objective is to discover or locate it. Your brain and
your nervous system operate in both ways.
When you know your target, you also know when you are on
course, and when you are off track. You accomplish your
goals by going forward, making errors, and continually
correcting them and moving forward once again. Your built-in
goal-striving mechanism works for you. Once the pattern is
established, it will work for you automatically. The key,
however, is in knowing that this mechanism is always working
for you. Oh, you don't think so? Well, it is.
You know the story of the "Little Engine that Could", don't
you? You'll remember it's affirmation, "I think I can, I
think I can." It had a servo-mechanism rooted in positive
affirmation. It focused on the goal and engaged fully in
accomplishing it without doubt or question. It could have
chosen to say to itself, "I don't think I can, I don't think
I can." and it would have come to a complete stop. In both
cases, the mechanism was trained and it performed. If you
are not reaching your goals, look carefully at the training
you are giving your servo-mechanism!
Keep It in MIND!

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - - by Karin Henderson
Your Immune System: Delicate Yet Critical
How It Serves You And Why You Need To Keep It Healthy
Why a carrot is good and a chocolate bar is not...
PART 1 of 9
In the following information, I want to describe what the Immune
System is and how it works. Then I'll mention some situations
that can overload it and cause it to be less than protective and
productive. I'll show how it can be brought back to function
adequately. Lastly, I want to show you how to keep it healthy.
As usual this information is for educational purposes only. If
you think of something that might be happening to you, please
check with your doctor or other health care professional. Don't
diagnose and treat yourself. But do take the time to read and
research. I am including several professional and trustworthy
links for just that purpose. I write these articles so you can
have an intelligent conversation with your doctor. Not that you
are not intelligent, but that you can ask the right questions
and understand the conversation in a more productive way. If you
pay close attention you will realise that rarely does anyone
ever discuss what a healthy body actually is or needs to stay
that way. We take it for granted that somehow...magically,
things appear that keeps your body in good working order.
I wonder what went through your mind as you read title. Did this
catch your attention? Or are you like I was a few years
ago...thinking this is NOT for me. This is only for academics
and health fanatics. This topic had no interest for me. I felt I
didn't need to know it and didn't want to spend any time
understanding it. It just didn't SEEM to relate to anything in
my life. If someone mentioned "immune system" or "vitamins" or
taking something other than Vitamin C to protect myself when I
had a cold, I had absolutely no interest.
What changed my mind? I saw the effects of medications on
elderly people, who I thought was drugged into "unreality". I
also watched many people die of diseases at a relatively young
age. I saw many older people go on happily well into their
nineties. I asked myself what the difference could be.
Your personal experiences have very strong ways of "trapping"
your attention, especially if it's your own body telling you to
wake up. Suddenly, hearing about the need to protect or rebuild
your immune system takes on a totally different meaning.
Suddenly you feel connected. It doesn't sound so unreal any
more. As is so often the case, things don't matter until you are
personally faced with a major and maybe life-threatening
situation for yourself or a loved one. It was at such a stage,
that I was introduced to understanding how degenerative diseases
could be slowed down and what I could personally do the prevent
them.

PERCEPTIONS . . . by Ken Darby
-----------------------DISCLAIMER
Some around me think I am an opinionated old goat.
Whether that be true or not I will sometimes, in this column,
talk about things people don't like to talk about - or don't want
out in the open. Take it all with a grain of salt.
Do your own thinking, and don't accept the things I say as
gospel. They are only mental meanderings from a simple soul.
-----------------------END DISCLAIMER
Spread the Word
Tell family and friends that energy efficiency is good for
their homes and good for the environment because it lowers
greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Tell 5 people
and together we can help our homes help us all.
This is the tip for today on how to aid in reducing the
production of greenhouse gasses. Up to now all these points
have been directed to you on the basis that you can do
something to help prevent the production of these gasses and
these points are all correct. However, not one of them
addresses the issue of what will you do when your life is
directly affected by this issue.
I have one more point for you. Do whatever you can to pay
off your house. That may well include selling your house and
downsizing to a home you can pay for without a mortgage.
I’m serious. The mentality of the banks and government is
that the status quo is the only thing that matters. Banks
will foreclose in a heartbeat, even if you have no job
because of the affects of global warming. You may rest well
assured they will, under any and all circumstances, want
their pound of flesh.
Set up your life so you owe no one anything. Set it up so
you can be entirely independent. Only by doing so will you
have the freedom to make the decisions you will be called
upon to make.
Think on these things.
Have a good one folks.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Zany: Where did a fool get the name "zany"?
In the plays performed by the Italian commedia dell' arte -
in which the servants acted as clowns and bore the name
zani. The word "zany" was first used in English to designate
a comic performer attending on a a clown - a "stooge".

HA! HA! HA!
One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash
his sweatshirt.
Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted
to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"
"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your
shirt?"
He yelled back, "University of Auburn."
And they say blondes are dumb!!!
