Resolutions for a new year.
Motivation is what gets you started. Good habits are what keep you going.

1. Be realistic. One pound of fat equals 3,500 calories, to lose one pound you have to consume 3,500 less calories. A realistic safe healthy goal is to lose pound a week. You can easily do this by cutting back just 500 calories a day. One less hamburger, a few less fries, fat free salad dressing, diet drinks, and you are at your goal.

Self control is like a muscle. The more you use it the stronger it gets.

2. Don't even call it a diet. Words hold great power. Some people don't mind the word diet. To others it spells torture, depravation. If you're in this group don't tell yourself you're "going on a diet," call it a new healthier eating plan, or simply cutting back on calories.

You don't have to throw a pass down the whole length of the field to score a touchdown. You can get one yard at a time.

3. Eat 3 meals a day-at least! About 90% of dieters skip meals. This may cut calories, but in the long run it leads to malnutrition and fatigue. You may want to consider dividing your meals up even more, eating five or 6 mini meals a day. Frequent smaller meals help your metabolism run smoothly and keep you satisfied all day.

Be kind to yourself. Look for improvement not perfection.

4. Forget fad diets. They may help people drop pounds quickly but they cost you. Low carbohydrate diets {that tell you to eat lots of meat and skip the bread} can cause severe fatigue and headaches. Worse yet, most of the weight lost on this kind of plan is water weight, which is quickly regained once you go off the plan. Then there are diets that consist of large quantities of one or two foods. They throw your body out of whack. The only way to lose weight permanently is to learn new eating habits that you can practice for the rest of your life.

Refuse to accept missteps as failures. Try to identify the cause and learn from the experience.

5. The average daily expenditure of energy for women between the ages of 23-50 is 2,100 calories. For men it is 2,700 calories. As much as 60-75% of this goes to running your metabolism and keeping your body functioning.  The remaining calories are used up in various forms of physical activity.  The more active you are, the more additional calories you burn. Any exercise is better than no exercise. A person usually needs to exercise for 30 minutes four to five days a week.

No age or time of life, no position or circumstance,
has a monopoly on success. Any age is the right
age to start doing!

HOW TO MAKE NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS STICK
At the beginning of each year so many of us commit to changes and
worthy goals to be accomplished in the next twelve months only to
be disappointed come next December 31 when we discover we are
no closer to achieving those resolutions than we were on January 1.
The noble resolutions we made early-on became unstuck. So I
looked at this dilemma and created four useful suggestions to
increase the probability that your New Year's resolutions will
stick this year.

1. Quantify it. Sometimes we are just too vague about what we
want. Therefore, a resolution such as, "I want to lose weight
this year" will probably fail. It is too vague. How much weight?
Be specific. What would your ideal weight be, less what do you
weigh now, is what you are going after. It is not enough to
resolve that; "I want enough money in the bank this year".
Quantify. What specific amount would soothe your soul?

2. Set a deadline. Resolutions that are to be achieved "as soon
as possible" wind up in the heap of "Someday I'll...". Deadlines are
commitments. Without a deadline as a self-imposed pressure point,
getting started is easily postponed. You see, deadlines put us on
the line and define when failure occurs. Deadlines also help us
break the resolution down into little bite-sized pieces. For
example, if your goal is to lose 25 pounds by June 30, that
translates into approximately four pounds per month, one pound
per week, or a daily reduction of caloric intake (or an increase in
daily caloric burn) of just 500 calories per day. Now that's
manageable - 500 calories a day is easy to achieve, 25 pounds
seems like a leap across the Grand Canyon. Until we quantify our
goal, set a deadline, then break it down to its daily requirements,
the resolution will forever seem unattainable.

3. Change one or two things at a time. We generally do not like
change in the first place. We seek the familiar and avoid the
strange. The more change you put yourself through, the higher the
probability your campaign will collapse. Focus in on one or two
of the more important resolutions you seek to accomplish this
year. When you achieve one or the other, start on the next one.
Don't overwhelm yourself with too much change all at once.

4. Be realistic. There's just something about the start of a new
year that gets us all wound up for changes in our lives, sometimes
extraordinary and unrealistic changes. We become much like the
child in the candy store whose eyes are bigger than his stomach.
Be realistic. You can only accomplish a certain amount within a
period of time. Don't saddle yourself with unrealistic resolutions
that will only spell failure later on.

Healthy Kids
Your Child's Nutrition
Parents have many opinions on how and what to feed their children,
most of which stem from how they were raised. In fact, most parents
believe that they must control their children's eating habits. It's up
to them to decide what foods to buy and even how these foods are
prepared and served. However, research suggests that children are
naturally able to regulate how they eat, without intervention from
adults. How?

First, research suggests that children whose parents are less
controlling of how much they eat are better able to control their own
weight. When you tell your children how much to eat, you are telling
them to ignore their own body signals, such as a growling belly. Teach
your children to listen to their bodies and eat as much or as little
as necessary to be satisfied.

Second, it has been proven that children are more likely to try new
foods when they exist in an environment that is free of pressure from
their parents. As a result, they will learn to like new foods more
easily.

So, parents, take note. Trust your children to know how much to eat
and give them the opportunity to learn to like new foods without
pressuring them.

REMEMBER TO BE THANKFUL FOR:
The mess to clean after a party because it means you have been surrounded by friends.
The taxes you pay because it means that you're employed.
The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means you have enough to eat.
The shadow who watches you work because it means you are out in the sunshine.
A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means you have a home.
All the complaining you hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.
The space you find at the far end of the parking lot because it means you are capable of walking.
The huge heating bill because it means you are warm.
The lady behind you in church who sings off key because it means that you can hear.
The piles of laundry and ironing because it means you have clothes to wear.
Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means you have been productive.
The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that you're alive.
Getting too much email that bogs you down because at least you know you have friends who are thinking of you.

The following section (search engines, etc) was shared by Kittennn11
THANK YOU ROBIN!!!!!!

Search Engines
AOL NetFind
AOL NetFind (keyword: NetFind or click on the toolbar) is the most accessible search engine for AOL Members. It is relatively simple cup a tea search engine and the default for AOL members. Basically NetFind is really is EXCITE underneath the covers, but with AOL favors added.
Excite
This search engine stands out from the rest with excellent, customizable search opinion for advavced queries.
Excite Search Options
Excite Reference: Phone & Address: Maps
Excite Maps: U.S. Driving Directions
Yahoo!
The largest directory on the Web, YAHOO! has brabded itself as more then a directory since its 1994 Net debut. Currently, the Web "portal" offers an online service (with MCI), chat, news, classifieds, e-mail, and more.
AltaVista: Main Page
This search engine one of the most popular search engines on the web (next to yahoo). WOW, what a search engine it is. Using spiders (no Halloween joke) some of which crawl the web daily, Alta Vista indexes almost every word of every site it visits- perhaps as many as 50 million sites. DO TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN IT, however or stick to something less complex like Netfind.
HotBot
Hotbot is from WIRED magazine (AOL Keyword: WIRED), and as you might expect, it's the most graphical search engine of them all. A useful feature here lets users search specifically for audio and video and images online
Infoseek
Combines a powerful search engine (such as Lycos and Alta Vista) with a very large Web directory (such as Yahoo!).
Lycos Home Page
Lycos offers two powerful levels of seaching: basic and custom. An excellant search engine and very good laid out.
Welcome to Magellan!
This is my the same folks who bring you Excite, is yet another combination site, with both a Web directory and a search engine. Magellan's special claim to fame is the fact that you can screen out adult-orientad sites with the Green Light feature (see box check on search).
LookSmart - exploring World
Similar in desigh at Yahoo!, this site also offers a directory of Web sites. Its simple, straight-forward layout may be easier to navigate tham those of its competitors.
Ask Jeeves and Ask Jeeves for Kids
Just type in any question and click "Ask!"
37.com - 37 SEARCH ENGINES !
Just as it says. 37 great search engines combined in to one web page. If you can't find it here, it probably doesn't exist.
Mamma: Mother of All Search Engines
Why search just one when you can search them all ??
Dogpile
Wonderful if you're looking to search directories of any sort such as Yellow Pages, White Pages, and the like.

MetaSearch at Highway 61
Two new features have been added to Highway 61! First, your search parameters will now be saved to a "cookie" so next time you stop by your patience level, etc., will already be set to what you used on your last search. Also, you can now choose to have links sent to new windows.
Search The Internet with The Internet Sleuth
The Internet Sleuth is a bit different from the other search engines you might have used. While Alta Vista or Lycos attempt to index the entire Web The Sleuth maintains an index of searchable databases, most of which can be searched directly from The Sleuth, simplifying the search for information.
Fax Numbers - Mamma.com
In 1996 we got the idea to provide a smart meta search tool for content retrieval on the World Wide Web. Since then we have expanded our vision to include new research tools and play a role as a free content aggregator for Web users. We hope you enjoy Mamma and find it a useful time saving mechanism in your research.
MetaCrawler
This is one of the first and best of its kind, and it performs extremely fast searches. Metacrawler feed off the databases of the major search engines. the results are then delivered to the user as one complete listing.
webtaxi.com : the search engine and database navigation interface/guide
Webtaxi.com (beta version 3.0), is a breakthrough navigation service designed to help Internet users conveniently search the World Wide Web. webtaxi.com enhances the existing capabilities of current versions of Netscape Navigator. This free service was developed to offer efficient point and click access to search engines, newsgroups and thousands of hard-to-reach databases. webtaxi.com provides a single interface for both parallel and nonparallel methods of searching multiple sites.
WebCrawler
fine engine simliar to Megacrawler.
Inference Find! -- Home Page and Resource Center
This is another "metacrawler", excellant groups results into relevant subjects headings.
Northern Light Search
Unlike search directories, this site uses Web "crawlers" or "spiders" (like Excite) to tour the NeMetaCrawler.t for new sites. Northern Light's numerous filtering options make it exceedingly easy to focus your seaches.
Deja News
The Discussion network. Various search including various adults sites.
News Index
This what it is. A News Search Engine Index for current stories.

*   A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops.   On my desk, I have a work station.
* Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?
*  What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?
*  I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on
beer cans.
*  I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot
more as they get older, then it dawned on me... they were cramming for

THE Y2K BUG NOW AN URBAN LEGEND!
It appears that the Y2K bug has now been filed in the ranks of yet another item in a long list of urban legends. The Millennium crept up on us with little incident resulting from the y2k bug. Minor power plant difficulties occurred with two nuclear reactors, one located in Japan, the other in the Midwest. Neither of these was serious enough to require shut down of the facilities. A Court in South Korea issued 170 summonses to appear on Jan 4, 1900. A Delaware gambling casino reported problems with some slot machines. Very few other Y2K related problems of any major significance were reported.

The West Coast greeted the new century with no technological disasters, the last frontier in a long day of anxious testing and observation across the globe that largely proved the worst doomsdayers wrong about the millennium bug.

Government officials warn that the full affect of Y2K may not be fully realized for another day or so. While optimistic, U.S. government officials said it was too early to declare victory over the Y2K bug. The Clinton administration said fallout from the so-called Y2K glitch--or lack thereof--would not be fully known until next week.

"By sometime on Tuesday, we'll have a pretty good idea of where we are in the United States," John Koskinen, Clinton's top Y2K trouble-shooter, told reporters. He said it would take an extra day or two after that "before we can start to close the books on Y2K for the world."

As we start the year 2000, let's stop and ask ourselves why such fear and panic occurred over the issue. Thousands of people believed the doomsdayers message, convinced that the world would come to an end as we know it. Many stockpiled hordes of food, water, and other essential supplies in anticipation of a Y2K disaster.

The prediction of the end of the world is nothing new. Religious cults and others have predicted this world's demise for centuries. But the Y2K urban legend captured our attention with such dynamic proportions because ...

1. People fear the unknown. The technical nature of the supposed disaster was fueled by those who lacked knowledge of a computer driven world. Fear means panic. Panic causes people to react irrationally.

2. People want to believe in a new world. Perhaps the Y2K was so widely received and accepted because people want to believe that something new will replace this cruel, and at times, difficult world in which we live. Perhaps a worldwide disaster would replace what we know with something better.

One day, our children and our grand children will look back on the year 2000 and the Y2K millennium urban legend and laugh at our ignorance. But more important, I hope that our children and our grand children will look back on the year 2000 and remember that that was the year when ...

1. Their parents eliminated war.
2. Their parents eliminated fear.
3. Their parents eliminated hunger.
4. Their parents eliminated hate.
5. Their parents eliminated racism.
6. Their parents learned to live in peace and harmony around the world.

AND JUST PERHAPS...
the year 2000 would be remembered as the year our present world really ended as we know it, and was replaced with a better world to live in.
Happy New Years Everybody!!!!!
John =)

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT....................

TWO ETHICAL QUESTIONS:
Q1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant,
who had 8 kids already,three who were deaf,
two who were blind, one mentally retarded,
and she had syphilis; would you recommend
that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before scrolling down
to the answer of this one.

Q2: It is time to elect the world leader, and
your vote counts. Here are the facts about the
three leading candidates:

Candidate A:
Liked to work with crooked politicians, and
consults with astrologists. He's had two
mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks
8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B:
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps
until noon, used opium in college and drinks
a quart of whisky every evening.

Candidate C:
He is a decorated war hero. He's a
vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an
occasional beer and hasn't had any
extramarital affairs.





Which of these candidates would be your
choice?

Decide first. No peeking,
then scroll down for the answer.











Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt

Candidate B is Winston Churchill

Candidate C is Adolph Hitler



....and by the way:


Answer to the abortion question - if you
said yes, you just killed Beethoven.


Makes you think don't it!

Now I have another one for you. If the 15
year old girl across the street from you got
pregnant by the 40 year old married man
living with his family next door to her, would
you advise her to have an abortion?





If you said yes, you just killed Jesse Jackson.
