ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
How many "near-Earth objects" have been discovered so far?
As of October 10, 2002, 2107 near-Earth objects have been
discovered. Six hundred and twenty-eight of these are
asteroids with a diameter of approximately one kilometer or
larger.
Is it true that a smallpox epidemic brought down a whole
empire?
Yes, more than once, in fact. In 1350 BC, Hittite warriors
caught the dread disease from Egyptian prisoners and
infected both the Hittite king and the next-in-line for the
throne. The empire collapsed. Then, in 1520, Cortes and his
men brought smallpox to the Aztecs in Mexico, decimating the
natives and allowing Cortes himself to assume the throne.

A New Year, A New Beginning
Do you know what you like? Do you know what is right for
you? Brian Tracy says that it is important to know what is
right for yourself before you think of what is possible. Do
you know what brings you joy? If you do know, how often do
these things show up in your life? Do you plan for them?
It is interesting--and powerful--to focus your attention on
what you want in life...experiences you wish to repeat,
attributes you wish to develop, goals you wish to reach and,
fulfilling ways to spend your time and energy. When you keep
your mind, time and energy on these things, there is little
time for anything else--and the "anything else" fades away!
At this time of year it is traditional to decide on next
year's priorities. Do this very carefully. Make it a
balanced plan with desires in each area of your life to move
your physical, social, educational, financial, mental,
emotional and spiritual self, forward. Once you have decided
on the priorities, assign a daily, weekly, monthly or annual
amount of time for each that will satisfy you. This is
important. There is no right answer.
What will cause you to feel good about yourself when you do
it? It can be different for different people. Some folks
want to run a marathon and that is what they mean when they
are planning to improve their exercise program. That will
take more time than for a person who wants to increase their
time doing weight-bearing exercise to prevent osteoporosis.
Know what your goal is and why. That will help you assign
the appropriate amount of time to each priority.
Make sure that your goals are "do-able". Build in success
this way. Make them very specific, measurable and
time-bounded. Your mind can capture a goal that says, "I
will lose ten pounds by March 1 by eliminating ice-cream
from my diet and walking three miles three times a week",
whereas it has difficulty understanding "I am eating less
and exercising more." Be specific.
Often, there are many things undone in our lives. Things we
wish we had done, things we know are always sitting at the
back of our minds draining our energy. These are energy
leaks. You know the (Expletive) I still havent
___________yet! that hits you while youre waiting for a
red light to change. Its a leak !
Here is a process that I find amazingly effective. Complete
this Personal Integrity Checklist to start your year with no
energy leaks. Download it at for free from
http://www.OptimizeInstitute.com/tools/pic.htm. Clearing
away your energy leaks is a good preparation for being
successful with your new plan.
ALWAYS REMEMBER----WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO EXPANDS!

Your Heart And Your Courage:
Both Belong To You
Both Must Be Nurtured And Respected
PART 4 of 11
You will have noticed that the heart relaxes and
contracts rhythmically. What you may not have
understood in my word picture is that both atriums
(atria: more than one) relax and both ventricles
contract
at the same time. So in one contraction, one
batch of blood is sent to the lungs to pick up oxygen
and another batch is sent to the body with fresh
oxygen. This is called a cardiac cycle (one moment of
relaxation and one moment of contraction). That is what
you feel when you take your pulse. (You may have
noticed you didnt take any nutrients onboard. They
come through the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract).
Now that you are carrying this life-sustaining oxygen,
you need to deliver it to cells. And this is done as
you pass through the body systems: its smaller arteries
(arterioles) and eventually into the capillaries.
Oxygen, nutrients, and other elements are dropped off
to each cell. (Nutrients were picked up as sugar when
the gastro-intestinal tract activities interacted with
the blood.) As we go to the end of the line to each
individual cell (cellular), we now pick up blood
without a lot of oxygen, any waste products, and any
unwanted or infectious elements. Then we begin the
return journey through the veins of the Inferior or
Superior Vena Cava. And back to the heart the same way.
Incidentally, if you have blood sugar tests done, you
can now understand how and what amount of sugar reaches
the cell and why the nurse will ask how long it has
been since your last meal. And if they make a comment
about how light or dark your blood appears, you can
understand what they mean. They will know the normal
values for each of these tests.

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
Over the last while we have been looking at ways one can
enjoy a peaceful life. What with all we see in the press and
on television these days it is sometimes hard to find a
space where one is free from the worry and fear the news
helps to develop in those who see it.
You know I have been recommending that you get and read the
books The Saga of Pinehill. It is a series of books I have
written that shows you the way to peace and prosperity.
There are two more books in the series yet to be printed and
when that is done I will write the fifth which will take all
the life's lessons and all the spiritual lessons in each
book and discuss them, summarize them point by point.
However, here is one more thing you can do today to help
bring you into the "peaceful zone". Order, Harmony and
Balance.
A good look at nature will show you the importance of Order,
Harmony and Balance. All but man are balanced and if nature,
somewhere, gets out of balance she corrects and gets back on
an even keel. All three of these conditions must exist
within your life if you would find peace and prosperity.
If you are missing even one of these ingredients in any part
of your life then you will miss out on success, peace and
all you want. All things within Mother Nature's world must
live within the laws of Order, Harmony and Balance. Break
them, overlook them, flaunt them and problems arise.
Consider these things in the context of your own life. Have
a look at the problem areas within your own life and there
you will find that either Order, or Harmony or Balance is
missing, indeed maybe all three. Restore these three and the
problem will disappear and peace will return. So will
success return.
Remember all these choices are yours. They are exclusively
under your control and can be affected by no one unless you
permit it. Fear not what is going on around you. Seek only
the peace within you.
Peace and prosperity can be yours right where you are if
that ever becomes a desire. That is what the story The Saga
of Pinehill is about, a blueprint for you to follow. If you
want peace and prosperity within your own life then purchase
the two books now in print. Read and study them. The way to
your own peace and prosperity is contained within their
pages.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Gargoyle: does the word "gargoyle" refer to the appearance
of these images?
No. "Gargoyle" is an Old French word and literally means
"throat". Gargoyles were originally used as projections from
the gutter of a building to carry the rainwater clear of the
walls, and they spurted this drain water through their
'throats".

HA! HA! HA!
One night, a lady stumbled into the police station with
a black eye. She claimed she heard a noise in her back
yard and went to investigate. The next thing she knew,
she was hit in the eye and knocked out cold.
An officer was sent to her house to investigate, and he
returned 1-1/2 hours later with a black eye.
"Did you get hit by the same person?" his captain asked.
"No," he replied. "I stepped on the same rake."
