What is xenotransplantation?

Xenotransplantation, also called "cross-species"
transplantation, is when you transplant tissue or organs
from an animal of one species into an animal of another
species. Pigs and baboons, for instance, have been used to
provide temporary organs for humans.

When is the winter solstice?

STRANGE BITS AND PIECES!


There was a false floor fitted in Adolf Hitler's Mercedes
770K to make him look taller when he stood up in the car.

Here's To Think On! ... with Ken Darby
------------------------------------

FOCUS!

Since the dawn of history there is not anything that
has had the capacity to occupy man's time and attention
so much as the computer. Many a person has spent
well into the wee hours of the morning trying to get
their computers operating, working on their businesses,
surfing or anything else you can do on the internet.

And, of course, that is okay, if that is what you can afford.

However, the matter of getting work done, whether
on or off the net, is a matter of FOCUS.

While we all know that, it is often lost in the activity
of the moment, which started out to be a few minutes
and before you know it has ended up being a
couple hours.

That is the nature of the internet. It is consuming. There
are so many things to interest one that getting the job
done is sometimes secondary. That isn't how we start
out, but that is the way we end up.

FOCUS is the answer. To make money, to build a
business, to enjoy well earned "free" time on the
computer we must first FOCUS on getting the chores
done, the business done, the most important
task complete.

I don't mean just to start out on one task and work on
that until it is complete. I mean we must have a
FOCUS ATTITUDE. We must select a goal for a time
and do it. Then we must select another goal for a
period and do that.

In fact set your goal every day of doing six things
successfully. Some days that will be a lot and others
you will have that done before breakfast. But do six
constructive, progressive things each day to get you
closer to your main goal.

Do not do more than six things. do not consider that
you will be buildng up chores in a bank to spend as
days off some other time. FOCUS each day on only
six tasks that will get you closer to your main objective
and when they are done, go play. You will notice
the play "feels better". You will notice you can play
with an attitude of complete freedom, because you
have focused on getting your chores done first.

The entire process leads to a healthy lifestyle for all
things get done in their time and season on a daily
basis, monthly basis and yearly basis. By simply
following this formula you free yourself up to be
creative and to receive new ideas. It stimulates
growth and your plan can go faster than you
planned it. FOCUS!

Now consider that if you did six things each day and
no more that would end up with one hundred and
eighty things done successfully every month and
two thousand one hundred and sixty things done
successfully every year. How long do you think it
will take you to begin enjoying the fruits of your
labors, if you did this?

FOCUS! FOCUS! FOCUS!

The Brain And Spinal Cord
Parts Of Your Body's Nervous System
Part 3 of 6

The Visible Picture
If you touch your head right now, you would (probably) feel hair
and skin and know that the thick bony "thing" under the skin and
hair (scalp) is your skull. And in the bony "hollow" of your
skull, (which resembles a cage), nestles or encloses your brain.
"Attached" or connected to brain is the vertebral column: your
spine or backbone. Once inside this cage or hollow space (skull)
you will find an incredible "machine" that keeps you alive 24/7.
The unbelievable thing is that you are kept alive by something
you can't see! And it will keep you like that until you cause it
to run out of fuel...either by an accident, degeneration, or by
the normal aging process. Scientifically, we know your body can
remain healthy for many, many years.

Suppose you banged your head. You would think the soft, fragile
tissue of the brain would be scraping the rough undersurface of
the bone. But you would be wrong. Your bone is lined with a
protective layer of special cells.

Your entire brain is "bathed and swimming" in a special solution
called cerebral spinal fluid called CSF. It acts as a buffer and
carries lots of nutrients. This fluid keeps the brain from being
bounced around and damaged. It also has three layers of
protective tissue before you get to the actual brain matter.
The bone with its absorbable structures and the fluid absorb
most of the shock. Now if you are a boxer with repeated blows to
the head, neither the bone nor the fluid can protect all the
shock. Something will eventually break down.

Some people think their heads are just a cap where in fact it's
a total cover, with many openings. The eyes, ears, nose, and
spinal cord all have their own openings and are all connected in
a variety of ways. Bone is also a "tissue" but we tend to use
the term for soft pliable material. And it's easier to say bone.

So how does your head stay on your body ...why should you care?
You should care tremendously as without your head and all its'
related functions, you are dead! Essentially all the invisible
"power" that keeps you going is not "disconnected".

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

Look for ENERGY STAR labeled products

When buying new products, such as appliances for your home,
get the features and performance you want AND help reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Look for ENERGY
STAR-qualified products in more than 40 product categories,
including lighting, home electronics, heating and cooling
equipment and appliances.

I hope you begin to implement these steps as being your
part in reducing greenhouse gasses. You may not think it
much but it adds up to a lot. Remember yesterday I included
a suggestion for you to purchase 5 new energy efficient
light bulbs? Well I was thinking of the WalMart plan. They
were thinking of making some kind of deal, and maybe still
are, to sell one energy efficient bulb to every customer. Do
you know that if they succeed throughout North America
there will be enough saving to take up to five power plants
off line? Wow. Buy the energy savers, folks.

Another interesting little tidbit. The American Government
is purchasing $200 million dollars worth of “Bird Flu
serum”. I wonder what they aren’t telling us now??????

Have a good day folks. See you tomorrow!

Marriage doesn't have to be a battleground. This
can bring back that "old feeling" in both of you.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?


Oats: Why do we say that a youth who's acting the gay young
blade is "feeling his oats" or "sowing his wild oats"?

It's because feeding oats to a horse makes him lively. When
a horse begins to prance around he's "feeling his oats". And
when he finds wild oats in the pasture and eats them and
then, feeling these oats, starts gadding about he will
literally as well as figuratively "sow his wild oats".

THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!


Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

HA! HA! HA!


A very successful businessman had a meeting
with his new son-in-law. "I love my daughter,
and now I welcome you into the family," said
the man.  "To show you how much we care for
you, I'm making you a 50-50 partner in my
business. All you have to do is go to the
factory every day and learn the operations."

The son-in-law interrupted. "I hate factories.
I can't stand the noise."

"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well then
you'll work in the office and take charge of
some of the operations."

"I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I
can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day."

"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I
just make you half-owner of a money making
organization, but you don't like factories and
won't work in a office. What am I going to do
with you?"

"Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out."
