"Give us the tools and we will fi nish the job"Sir Winston Churchillradio broadcast,1941

On a hot summer night in 1939, an enormous meteor blazednorthward over Lake Erie before erupting in a ball of fire seenacross the Northeastern seaboard. At the same time, millions in Europe struggled in a world as frightening as blazing meteors, the blaze of the advancing German armies and Hitler’s quest for worlddomination. Geographically, Minnesota appeared to be sheltered from these winds of war; however, they felt anything but isolated from the tempest over taking the world. Many Minnesotans had familiesstill living in countries invaded by the Nazi maniacs and letters from home held frightening news.

On Sept. 16, 1620, the Mayfl ower sails from Plymouth, England, bound for the New World with 102 passengers. The ship was headed for Virginia, but stormy weather and navigational errors forced the Mayfl ower off course. On Nov. 21, the “Pilgrims” arrived in Massachusetts.

On Sept. 13, 1936, 17-year-old Cleveland Indians pitching ace “Rapid” Robert Feller strikes out 17 batters in a

On Sept. 14, 1964, writer John Steinbeck is presented the U.S. Medal of Freedom.

On Sept. 18th, 1793 president George Washington laid the cornerstone of the United States Capitol building.

On Sept. 22, 1598, English playwright Ben Jonson is indicted for manslaughter after a duel. He was very nearly hanged, but his ability to read and write saved him. He claimed “benefi t of clergy,” which allowed him to be sentenced

On Sept. 21, 1866, H.G. Wells, pioneer of science fi ction, is born in Bromley, England. In 1895, he published his classic novel “The Time Machine,” about a man who journeys to the future. The book was a success, as was “The War of the Worlds”.

EDIBLES (continued):

• At holiday time, many Norwegians fi x a traditional dish known as Smalahove. This yummy dish is prepared fi rst by torching the skin and fl eece of a sheep’s head, removing the brain, then boiling the head for about three hours. Arrange some rutabagas and potatoes around it on a platter, and there you have your Christmas feast!• You’re not getting dessert when you order black pudding after a meal. Rather you’ll be served a sausage made up of animal blood, fat, rolled oats and spices. Depending on where you live, that blood could come from a pig, cow, sheep, duck or goat. Some recipes add chestnuts, sweet potato or barley to the mix. A yummy Asian snack, the pig’s blood cake, combines blood with sticky rice, fries it and serves it on a popsicle stick. • The process of making Polish blood soup is a tricky one. The head of a live duck must be chopped off and its blood collected in the cooking pot. Throw in some vinegar, onions, celery, parsley, sugar and some dumplings, and there you have it! Some cooks like to add dried fruit, such as prunes, pears or apples. • When folks down South talk about eating chit’lins, they are referring to chitterlings. This lip-smacking dish is the small intestines of pigs, boiled for several hours, then battered and fried and served with vinegar and hot sauce on the side. • Ask for a plate of menudo, and what you’ll get is an order of beef tripe, made from the rubbery lining of the stomach of a cow, sheep, goat, pig or deer. Your favorite Mexican restaurant might garnish it with jalapeno peppers. • No matter what you call them — Rocky Mountain oysters, cowboy caviar, Montana tendergroins or bull fries — it doesn’t change the fact that they are bull testicles, coated in fl our and deep-fried. The people in some states love this “appetizer” so much, they hold entire festivals around them, such as Eagle, Idaho’s “World’s Largest Rocky Mountain Oyster Feed” and Montana’s “Testicle Festival.” • Not all tacos are created equal! Lengueta de la vaca are tacos made with cow tongue, while Tacos de Cabeza include all parts of the cow’s head, including eyes and lips. • The French have a beautiful name for a particular variety of hot

deli sandwich —langue de vache. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s cow tongue. • If you order geoduck off the menu, don’t expect to get an exotic poultry dish. It’s actually the largest burrowing clam in the world and is considered a delicacy in Asian countries, selling for as much as $30 per pound. It’s one of the animal kingdom’s longest-living creatures, at an average of 146 years, contributing to the amazing quantity of eggs produced by the female during her lifetime — fi ve billion! The geoduck has a long meaty siphon it uses to suck in plankton when feeding. That portion of this mollusk is usually cooked fondue-style and dipped in soy or wasabi sauce.• Folks in Sardinia, Italy, may change the way you think about cheese. Their casu marzu starts with a sheep’s milk Pecorino cheese but with one variable. Whole cheeses are left outside so that the Piophila casei or “cheese fl y” can lay its eggs inside the cheese, as many as 500 eggs at one time. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae eat their way through the cheese, and their acidic digestive juices break down the cheese’s fats, resulting in a very soft cheese. There are usually thousands of little white worms in a casu marzu cheese ready for the market. It’s up to the individual diner whether to scoop out the maggots before eating. • If your plate is fi lled with the Bosworth, Falstaff or Bedford Fillbasket varieties, you’ll soon be eating one of the most disliked vegetables, the Brussels sprout. This vitamin-rich cruciferous veggie belongs to the same family as the cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, kale and kohlrabi. Brussels sprouts were fi rst brought to North America by French immigrants settling in Louisiana around 1800. • The Scottish regularly cook up a dish called haggis, which is a sheep’s stomach stuffed with a mixture of the liver, heart, lungs, rolled oats and a variety of spices. Some fast-food restaurants in Scotland even have this item on their menu, deep-fat fried or as a burger on a bun. For those who don’t care to eat it, there are contests for “haggis hurling,” a sport that has a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. The current record-holder threw a 1.5-pound (.68-kg) haggis a distance of 180 feet, 10 inches (55.12 m).

● Plant deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves in the fall) strategically in order to reduce your heating and cooling costs. Their leaves emerge in the spring to block summer’s heating rays, but when winter comes, they fall off to let the sun in, warming things up a bit.

● Keep nail-polish bottles easy to open by rubbing a little bit of petroleum jelly inside the cap of the bottle.

● M.C. in Arizona would like to know some alternative uses for hair conditioner. Here goes: as a shaving lotion for legs or face; a makeup remover; ouch-free bandage removal; to soften makeup brushes or paintbrushes before storage; to get knots out of doll hair or costume wigs; washing delicates (think silks and pantyhose); rub on a shower rod to help curtain glide effortlessly; and lastly, soak a shrunken sweater in a conditioner/water

solution to soften the fi bers, then gently try stretching the sweater back to size. ● Use an empty paper towel roll to store plastic grocery bags. Just stuff to capacity. These “bag sticks” are easy to store in a drawer or even be mounted on the side of a trash can with double-stick tape.●When cleaning glass tabletops or chrome fi xtures, try using newspaper instead of paper towels or rags. There is no lint left behind, and newspaper gives a better shine.

I had some free time over the weekend and I made a trip to a local book store. I wasn’t in the market for anything in particular. I was just browsing and found myself in front of the metaphysical section. Because I wasn’t in a hurry and also because I wasn’t looking for anything in particular I was able to really notice what was there.

My first observation was that this section had grown very large. There were books on topics I’d never heard of. And there were many more on topics that had been around forever. And I got to wondering – who and what do you believe?

Let’s take the current popular topic of 2012. There were many books on the shelf regarding this topic. Each seemed to have a diff erent take on it and yet they all claimed to be the truth. And that’s where common logic and being in touch with your inner self come in handy.

Not too long ago I was getting my nails done and my tech, who knows that I’m a psychic, asked me if it was true that the world was going to end in 2012. I told her no. Her relief was obvious. She had read something or heard something on the radio and been truly scared. If she had taken the information she’d heard and spent a

little time with it, really feeling for its honesty, her guides would have let her know that it was false information.

We have been given guides to help us figure out life and which direction we should be going. If you are having a difficult time connecting with your guide or don’t know how, consider taking a class on basic psychic development. Connecting with your guide is the same thing as following your gut instinct. One way sounds like hocus pocus and the other sounds like good common sense. The truth is they are diff erent ways of saying the same thing.

Fall classes on Psychic Development and the Law of Attraction will be starting again soon. Consider signing up and exploring something new.

If this topic interests you please contact me for a reading or perhaps a class. 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.

Fall Lawn Fall Lawn LawsLawsBy Matt Cavanaugh

September is a great time to breathe new life into your lawn and prepare it for the following year as temperatures are ideal for plant growth and root development. Fertilization, seeding, aerifi cation, dethatching, and weed control can or should be done during the fall. Grasses are again producing roots after a long summer and preparing for winter. September is when the majority of your fertilizer should be applied as the nutrients are used for increased root growth that is needed for winter survival and spring revival. Later applications in October and November when the plant is not actively growing may result in less plant uptake and

thus a waste of your money. Any of your seeding needs should be done in the fall as weed pressure is the lowest in the fall and temperatures are ideal and moisture is generally adequate for seeding growth and development. If your lawn needs to be aerifi ed or dethatched, the fall is a great time to do it because the plant is actively growing and can tolerate the abuse from mechanical injury. Like grasses, perennial weeds such as dandelion and clover are putting energy towards root production making it a critical time for weed control because more of the herbicide is moved to the roots providing a better kill. Understanding the proper timing of fertilizer and other grass management practices will provide a better lawn and allow your money to be better spent.

“Is a Heart Attack or Stroke in Your Future?” Part 1By Dr. Greg Fors, DC / Board-certified NeurologistHeart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States

and a major cause of disability. Every 25 seconds, an American willhave a heart attack, and every minute someone dies from it.. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in men and the first symptomof any heart disease in over half of these men is death itself. Over ¾of a million Americans will suffer a stroke this year. Most of thesestrokes could be prevented through proper risk factor identificationand management.

Most Americans believe that heart disease is caused by highcholesterol or the bad cholesterol LDL and if they take a cholesterollowering drug you can prevent a future heart attack. If you are one ofthose individuals you may be surprised to hear about a recent studyfrom the prestigious UCLA School of Medicine. They found that75% of patients hospitalized for a heart attack had low levels of the“bad” cholesterol LDL, below 130 mg/dl, easily within the safe range.Also 21% were taking a statin cholesterol-lowering drug. Even moreshocking was that 50% of those suffering a heart attack had optimallylow levels of LDL, less than 100 mg/dL! Most scientists now agreethat heart disease and heart attacks are not caused by cholesterolbut brought on by chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Thesetwo factors almost always appear together in the body and must bedefended against. Cholesterol is one of the most important nutrientsin the body; we make hormones from it and repair ourselves with it. Cholesterol also acts as a primary antioxidant just like vitamin C andas an anti-inflammatory. Therefore cholesterol levels rise in responseto inflammation and oxidative stress in the body’s attempt to put out the fire and repair the damage. When because of dietary and lifestylefactors arterial inflammation persists and cholesterol loses the battle,the oxidized LDL cholesterol gets the blame. It’s a bit like blaming thefiremen’s water for an uncontrolled fire!

So if chronic inflammation is the source of the problem howcan you tell if it’s a problem for you? One of the best biomarkers forthis process is an inexpensive blood test called “high-sensitivity” CRP.More than a dozen major studies demonstrate that “hsCRP” levels arehighly predictive of future risk of heart attack, stroke, sudden cardiacdeath, and the development of peripheral arterial disease. Individualswith elevated levels are 3 times more likely to develop heart diseaseand elevated levels can also predict the risk of developing type IIdiabetes.

Another important inexpensive biomarker to have measuredto predict problems with chronic inflammation is a protein synthesizedin the liver called Fibrinogen. It circulates in the blood and plays a vitalrole in blood clotting. Elevated levels of Fibrinogen do play a role in the risk for blood clots in heart attacks and strokes. Fibrinogen levelsincrease with tissue inflammation or tissue destruction. A large-scale2002 European study showed that “fibrinogen is a powerful predictorof stroke” - including fatal and nonfatal strokes, first time strokes, andhemorrhagic and ischemic strokes. So where is the help?

A nutritional orientated doctor knowledgeable in runningand analyzing these tests as well as other vascular biomarkers canhelp you predict future risk of heart attack and stroke. Furthermoredoctors knowledgeable in functional medicine and wellness care canhelp formulate dietary changes and nutritional supplements to helpnaturally lower these risk factors so you can live a healthy life without the disability and death that comes with heart attacks and strokes.

At what age should you begin? It is a good idea to run thesetests when you’re over50.,however, there is good evidence that“hsCRP” levels in your teens and 20s are very predictive of levelslater in life. Elevated CRP levels can predict risk over the next 30 to40 years. Therefore it is never too early or too late to start!

In part two we will examine other risk factors for heart attacksand strokes and what you can do to not become a victim of these all too common disorders.Want to know more? attend my FREE SEMINAR!
