Psychic abilities are very common. It’s been my experience that most people are born with at least one of the psychic gifts. And as is true with many things, if we study something, after a time it becomes easier for us. Frequently this is simply because we become familiar with the terms and how things work.

The same is true with psychic abilities. One of the exercises we do in class is designed to help us open our third eye, also known as our minds eye. The ability to see something clearly without it being in front of us.

We can all do this with a memory. Think back to a trip you took as a teenager. The longer spent, the more we remember. We can put ourselves there. We can remember what it felt like, smelled like. If it was hot or cold. We can hear people laughing and remember what it sounded like no matter how far back in time it was.

This is what it’s like to use our third eye. The biggest difference is that psychics are concentrating on something that’s in someone else’s memory or their future.

When we practice this, the trick is to not try. We sit quietly and try to clear our minds. If we have someone to read for practice, we can ask our guides to help us get

clear information. Then we sit back and wait to see what information comes in.

These exercises can be done by anyone and they are quite fun. For practice you need to fi nd someone who will be honest with you about the information you might be getting. Always stay relaxed. Always stay open. And never take yourself too seriously. Having fun is the most important part to everything we do.

Find a quiet, comfortable place to practice. If it helps, imagine you have an eye in the middle of your forehead that you can open and close. Then open up, clear your mind, ask for information and see what happens. You might surprise yourself with what you learn.

If you are interested in studying and expanding your gifts feel free to contact me about classes or a reading.

Thank you for your interest and attention. Till next time, stay in touch with yourself,with your life, and with those loved ones who have moved on.

OVERCOMING

THE ODDS;

DAVE DRAVECKY

Little boys dream of playing in the big leagues, as did Dave Dravecky, who pitched his fi rst no-hitter as a teen. After attaining his dream, tragedy struck. Yet this inspirational man picked himself up and has gone on to help those plagued

by disease. Hats off to this courageous gentleman! • Ohio-born Dravecky was 26 years old when he was drafted by the San Diego Padres and made his Major League Baseball debut in 1982. The left-handed pitcher won 14 games in his second season and represented the Padres in 1983’s All-Star game. The next year, he contributed to the Padres’ fi rst-ever pennant.• In 1987, the San Francisco Giants acquired Dravecky, who was at the peak of his career. On the 1988 season’s opening day, he pitched a 5-1 victory over the Dodgers. Late that season, a desmoid tumor, a rare type of cancer that develops in the tissue that forms tendons and ligaments, was discovered in his pitching arm. Dravecky underwent surgery that October, and half of the deltoid muscle (the one that forms the rounded contour of the shoulder) was removed. In addition, the long humerus bone in his arm was frozen in an attempt to eradicate all cancerous cells. • Dravecky’s circumstance might have been a career ender for a lesser man. His doctors told him, “Short of a miracle, you’ll never pitch again.” But he was determined to make a comeback, and defying

all odds, the following July, he was pitching in the minors. The next month, August of 1989, a miracle happened, and Dravecky was back on the mound for the Giants in an amazing comeback game against the Cincinnati Reds at Candlestick Park. He pitched eight innings and the Giants defeated the Reds 4-3. • Five days later, Dravecky was in Montreal, up against the Expos. He started off the game with three no-hit innings, another incredible deed. In the sixth inning, he allowed a home run on the fi rst batter, and hit the second batter. With the third batter came what has been called “the pitch that could be heard around the world.” Dravecky’s humerus bone broke in two, and in his words, “You could hear the popping noise of my arm breaking all over the stadium. I never felt that kind of pain in my life. It felt like my arm was coming off.” In the post-season playoffs, the Giants won the National League pennant, and as the ecstatic team piled onto each other, his arm was broken again. • As doctors X-rayed the broken arm, a mass was discovered, and it was confi rmed that the cancer was back. Eighteen days later, Dravecky announced his retirement and entered a new phase of his life. In 1990, he published a book “Comeback,” which detailed his battles with cancer and his remarkable return to baseball. What he thought was his recovery continued, with surgeries and radiation, yet his arm was actually deteriorating. In June of 1991, his arm, shoulder blade, and left side of his collar bone were amputated in an attempt to save his life. • Dravecky’s second book, published in 1992 was entitled “When You Can’t Come Back.” He has gone on to become a highly sought-after motivational speaker. Along with his wife Jan, he has also founded a non-profi t organization, Endurance, to support those affected by cancer.

● On June 15, 1215, King John puts his royal seal on the Magna Carta, or “GreatCharter,” a peace treaty between John and his barons, guaranteeing that the king would respect feudal rights and privileges, uphold the freedom of the church and maintain the nation’s laws. Four original copies of the Magna Carta of 1215 exist today.

● On June 16, 1738, printer, publisher, postmistress and patriot Mary Katharine Goddard is born in New London, Conn. In 1777, when Congress decided to print the Declaration of Independence, including a complete list of signatures, it chose Mary Goddard as printer.

● On June 17, 1885, The Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States, arrives in New York City’s harbor. The dismantled statue was enclosed in more than 200 packing cases.

Its copper sheets were reassembled, and the last rivet of the monument was fi tted on Oct. 28, 1886.

● On June 26, 1892, Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck is born. Her novel “The Good Earth” (1930), describing peasant life in China, became an international bestseller and was translated into 30 languages. Buck wrote 80 novels and books.

● On June 19, 1905, some 450 people attend the opening day of the world’s fi rst nickelodeon, located in Pittsburgh. The storefront theater boasted 96 seats and charged each patron 5 cents. Its usual offerings included live vaudeville acts as well as short fi lms.

● On June 25, 1915, the German press publishes an offi cial statement from the country’s war command addressing the German use of poison gas at the start of the Second Battle of Ypres two months earlier. The Germans had fi red more than 150 tons of lethal chlorine gas against two French colonial divisions in April, claiming the French had fi rst used gas in August 1914.

● On June 23, 1927, The Sioux County Pioneer newspaper of North Dakota reports that President Calvin Coolidge

will be “adopted” into a Sioux tribe at Fort Yates on the border of North Dakota. At the Sioux ceremony, photographers captured Coolidge, in suit and tie, as he was given a grand ceremonial feathered headdress.

● On June 22, 1944, President Franklin Roosevelt’s administration creates the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, better known as the G.I. Bill. The bill gave returning servicemen access to unemployment compensation, low-interest home and business loans, and -- most importantly -- funding for education.

● On June 24, 1953, Jacqueline Bouvier and Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy of publicly announce their engagement. Kennedy gave her a 2.88-carat diamond-and-emerald ring. Kennedy went on to become the 35th president and Jackie became one of the most popular fi rst ladies ever to grace the White House.

● On June 21, 1964, Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney are killed by a Ku Klux Klan lynch mob near Meridian, Miss. The three young civil-rights workers were helping to register black voters in Mississippi, thus inspiring the ire of the local Klan.

● On June 14, 1968, Dr. Benjamin Spock is convicted in Federal District Court of conspiring to aid, abet and counsel draft registrants to violate the Selective Service Act. Spock, a physician, was the famous author of “The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care.”

● On June 13, 1971, The New York Times begins publishing portions of the 47-volume Pentagon analysis of how the U.S. commitment in Southeast Asia grew over a period of three decades. The publication of the “Pentagon Papers” precipitated a crucial legal battle over “the people’s right to know.”

● On June 20, 1975, director Steven Spielberg’s thriller “Jaws” debuts in theaters. A $700,000 marketing campaign preceded the fi lm’s release, helping it to earn some $7 million in its opening weekend alone. The mechanical shark’s name was “Bruce.”

● On June 18, 1984, radio talk-show host Alan Berg, the self-described “man you love to hate,” is gunned down in the driveway of his home in Denver. Berg’s story provided the loose inspiration for the 1988 fi lm “Talk Radio.”

NOW HERE'S A TIP “This is a tip for painting stairs. Paint

every other stair. Let them dry. Then paint the other stairs. This will make your staircase useable the whole way through your paint job.” -- R.L. in Michigan

Spray old artifi cial fl owers with hair spray to make the look fresh and vibrant.

Use plain household vinegar to kill grass that grows in the cracks of walkways and driveways.

“Stuff boots with clean foam egg cartons to keep them from fl opping over between wearings. If the leg material is not heavy, you can even cut a carton in half lengthwise. Rolled-up magazines also will work for this purpose.” -- I.Y. in New York

“Used fabric-softener sheets can be

used to shine faucets and to clean the tub. I use mine for dusting around the house too. To keep a steady supply, I put an empty tissue box next to my dryer. When the clothes (and the used sheets) come out, I stuff them down in the box, and they are ready whenever I need one.” -- B.J. in Arizona

When putting shrimp on a skewer, I use double skewers, which hold about fi ve shrimp. When I thread the skewers side by side, the shrimp are easier to turn over, and they do not spin on the skewer.” - R.R. in Florida

To keep cheese blocks moist and mold-free, place a piece of napkin dampened with white vinegar in with the cheese in a container with a tight-fi tting lid.

UNDER THE SEA (continued)• The squid, snail, octopus and clam are all

examples of mollusks, soft-bodied creatures with no internal skeleton. Some mollusks have a hard outer-shell; some do not. More than 85,000 species of mollusks have been identifi ed, and most probably there are many more that have not yet been discovered.

• The common squid can be found in all of the oceans of the world. Most are about 24 inches (60 cm) long, but the giant squid reaches lengths of 43 feet (13 m). In 2003, an even larger species was discovered, the colossal squid, which may grow to 46 feet (14 m). When in danger, the squid emits a cloud of ink from a sac to confuse its predators. This mollusk has the largest eyes in the animal kingdom; in fact, the colossal squid’s eyes have a diameter of about 11 inches (28 cm).

• Certain octopuses have a life span of only six months. Even the longer-living species only live about four years. Reproduction takes its toll on this sea creature, with males surviving only a few months after mating and females dying within a short time after their eggs hatch. An octopus, like the squid, is a cephalopod, which translates to “head to foot” because its appendages are attached to its head. Also like the squid, the octopus ejects a cloud of dark ink when threatened by predators. The ink is colored by melanin, the same compound that gives humans our hair color. Not only can the octopus eject ink for protection, it can instantly camoufl age itself, changing the color of its skin to match its environment.

• The largest octopus is the Giant Pacifi c Octopus, which swims in the waters off British Columbia. Their average weight is usually about 33 pounds (15 kg), with an arm span of about 14 feet (4.3 m) and rarely exceeds 90 pounds (40.8 kg). However, the occasional one is found that lives up to the name “giant,” such as the largest ever caught, which weighed about 600 pounds (272 kg).

• The mythological mermaid fi rst appeared in stories around 1,000 B.C. An Assyrian legend tells of the goddess Atargatis falling in love with a mortal shepherd. When she accidentally killed him, she was so devastated, she jumped into a lake and took the form of a fi sh. Although beautiful, mermaids don’t have a very good reputation. Folklore tells of them singing to

people to enchant them, then luring them to their doom. Rather than rescuing drowning sailors, they squeeze the life out of them. British tales speak of seeing a mermaid as an unlucky omen, one that foretells of impending disaster.

• The blue whale is the largest animal in the world, weighing between 100 and 150 tons (100,000 to 150,000 kg). Even at birth, they are huge — 23 to 27 feet long (7 to 8.2 m) with a birth weight of three tons (2,722 kg)! A calf will nurse for about eight months, during which it will drink 100 gallons (379 l) of milk every day, putting on about 200 pounds (91 kg) a day. That’s eight pounds (3.6 kg) an hour! When a calf is weaned, it is 52 feet (16 m) long and weighs about 23 tons (20,900 kg).

• Just the tongue of a blue whale has a weight of 2.7 tons (2,700 kg), more than an elephant. Fifty people could stand on it! Its mouth can hold up to 90 tons of food and water, but strangely enough, the whale’s throat dimensions only allow for it to swallow an item the size of a beach ball. The heart weighs 1,300 pounds (590 kg), the size of a small car, and beats just 10 times per minute. Its major arteries are large enough for a small child to crawl through.

• “Benthic marine algae” is a fancy name used by scientists for seaweed. Seaweed is used for everything from food to medicine to fertilizer. People in some Asian countries consider some varieties a great delicacy and receive health benefi ts from its rich deposits of calcium, magnesium and iodine. Folks in Belize mix it with milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla for a popular beverage. Germans add seaweed’s compounds to many of their beers. You’ll fi nd it in cosmetics, wound dressings, toothpaste and diet pills. Exclusive spas offer seafood wraps for the body. At the hardware store, seaweed is present in paints and fertilizers.

• An echinoderm is characterized by “racial symmetry,” that is, several arms radiating from a central body. The most familiar echinoderm is the starfi sh. Although we think of the starfi sh as having fi ve arms or “rays,” there are several species that have six or more. Some have 10 to 15 arms, and the Antarctic species Labidiaster annulatus can even have up to 50! A starfi sh’s mouth is found on the underside of its body, and many of these creatures swallow their prey whole. Although the lifespan of the average starfi sh is about 10 years, some live past 30.

Catching a CodeQR code (abbreviation for Quick Response code) is a specifi c matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) that is readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and now smart phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, URL, or other data.The QR code was created to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. Although initially used for tracking parts in vehicle manufacturing, QR codes now are used in a much broader context, including both commercial tracking applications and convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users (termed mobile tagging or object hyperlinking). The main reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text.

They come to us from Japan and are everywhere in the cities there. In the U.S.we are seeing it's use sparingly but with recent hyper growth.The idea behind using it is so smart phone users don’t have to type a long URL to get to your site, or for that matter just about any information page or document you want to send them to.

Smart phones are saturating the market, with more than a billion being sold in the last year. The phone needs a QR code reader application which is gennerally free and now more commonly packaged with the phone. It takes literally 1 minute for someone with an iPhone or Android phone to fi nd and install a reader. You can easily generate a QR code using a site like Kaywa.com. Latest generation smart phones need to merely sense the location of a code with their camera to bring you

to the link and sometimes even directly to the web page or document.

In addition to seeing them QR codes here in Tidbits® you are starting to see them in magazine advertisements, on product price tags, on billboards, or even on someone’s t-shirt. Once it is scanned into your phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), provide information on the product, or details about the person wearing the t-shirt or a favorite site of theirs (Beware of course, there may be some sites you'd not want to get to.),A code could also show you a link you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or perhaps a coupon to use in a local outlet.

Basic ideas for QR codes? – put it on your fl yers, business cards or any printable material. Beyond that, here’s a list of what some companies have used QR codes for:

As part of a contest A scavenger hunt promotion A way to send mobile users to watch a video (promotional, educational or

otherwise) A way to get mobile users to sign a petition A way for customers to accumulate rewards

As smartphone adoption rises and technology companies embrace the technology, QR Codes are becoming a mainstream portal to gather information and we are only just scratching the surface of how they will be used.
