From Sepi Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC - 10/08/07 - " Linda Alfrey Walker's ('61 - of VA) Birthday":

Linda,

Have a wonderful birthday, and don't forget to call me before your next trip to Cary so we can arrange lunch; Carol has my number here is Raleigh.

I have learned a lesson,

If you are going to pass something along?, Let it be THIS!

To whom it all concerns:

Just a word to the wise. E-mail petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other municipality. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address. Same with "prayer chains" -- be wary.

Almost all e-mails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards All it was, and all this type of e-mail is, is to get names and "cookie" tracking info for telemarketers and spammers to validate active e-mail accounts for their own purposes.

Any time you see an e-mail that says forward this on to "10" of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get good luck, or whatever, it has either an e-mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and e-mails of those folks you forward to, or the host sender is getting a copy EACH time it gets forwarded, and then is able to get lists of "active" e-mails to use in spam e-mails, or sell to others that do.

Please forward this notice to others and you will be providing a good service to your friends, and will be rewarded by not getting 30,000 spam e-mails in the future.

(If you have been sending out the above kinds of email, now you know why you get so much spam!)

YOWZERONI-RINI!!! And all this time I just thought they were annoying and a useless waste of time! I had no idea they had an ulterior motive! Thanks so much, Jerry!

From NewsMax.com - 10/08/07 - "Blaylock Tip: 12 Tips on Remaining Young":

There has been an enormous amount of research on ways to protect your brain through nutrition. After reviewing the medical and scientific literature, I can assure you that nutritional methods are infinitely more effective and safer than pharmaceutical drugs. Here is what you can do:

1. Avoid processed foods and eat only freshly prepared meals. Most processed foods contain harmful fats (omega-6 fats), additives and even toxic metals. In addition, they contain too much salt and sugar.

2. Eat five to 10 servings of fresh vegetables and some fruits every day. Choose nutrient-dense vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, celery, parsley, tomatoes, mustard greens, turnip greens, collard greens, squash and onions. Because fruits are high in sugar, eat only limited amounts and avoid sweetened fruit juices. These foods contain vitamins, minerals and special substances called flavonoids that are powerful and versatile antioxidants. In addition, some of them often provide other brain-protective nutrients.

3. Avoid Omega-6 oils (found in corn, safflower, sunflower, peanut, soybean and canola oils). You should not cook with these oils, nor should you use products that contain them (chips, breads, pastries, etc.).

4. Consume at least two ounces of extra-virgin olive oil a day. This oil contains a number of powerful antioxidants, as well as healthy monounsaturated oil. You can use it on a salad or mix it with other foods.

5. Take Omega-3 oil supplements and foods enhanced with this healthy fat. This includes Christopher eggs and other egg brands that contain Omega-3. These supplements should not be in gelatin capsules. Get the liquid form of highly purified fish oil. It is molecularly distilled to remove dangerous mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins. Keep the oil refrigerated. And be sure to get oil that is high in DHA. The dose is 1,000 mg. of DHA each day. The Omega-3 oils reduce brain inflammation and cool down excessive immune activity.

6. Avoid sugar. Sucrose, the sugar used in foods and as a sweetener, causes a greater insulin surge than glucose, the natural form. Extensive evidence has shown that sugar plays a major role in accelerating aging — especially brain aging. This is because sugar revs up the metabolism, which generates a storm of free radicals. In addition, sugar forms abnormal bonds with proteins and this dramatically accelerates aging. High sugar intake compounds the risk of Alzheimer’s disease over 300%. High fructose corn syrup is especially damaging.

7. Eat complex carbohydrates that are low on the glycemic index. These include broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, onions and more. You can find the index on the Internet. These foods are absorbed slowly and help avoid an insulin surge (which can lead to hypoglycemia). It is also important to eat only limited amounts of carbohydrates each day. That means no more than two servings (a serving is a cup) with each meal.

8. Drink a combination of white tea mixed with rosemary tea. These teas contain powerful antioxidants and have been shown to especially protect the brain against abnormal aging. Two cups a day should be adequate. White tea is the same as green tea but contains much lower levels of fluoride with higher levels of antioxidants.

9. If you have amalgam (silver) fillings, find a dentist specially trained in their safe removal and have them taken out and replaced with ceramics. Contact the IAOMT organization (www.iaomt.com) for a list of trained dentists near you. The mercury from amalgams has been shown to vaporize in the mouth, at which point it is absorbed into the blood. In addition, the mercury can travel directly to your brain by way of the olfactory nerves in your nose.

10. Avoid continuous stress. Unrelieved stress greatly increases free-radical production and lipid peroxidation in the brain, causing it to age abnormally and rapidly. Make sure you get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Regular moderate exercise is also an excellent way to relieve stress. It has been shown to slow brain aging. However, extreme exercise can have the opposite effect. The Omega-3 oils have also been shown to protect the brain against stress damage.

11. Avoid depression. If you become depressed, seek treatment early. A number of studies have shown that depression causes a loss of memory and learning difficulties, and that over time the hippocampus of the brain (the memory and learning center) actually shrinks. Depression is best treated with regular exercise. Avoiding Omega-6 fats and increasing Omega-3s also helps. Omega-3 fats have been shown to improve depression and protect the brain from depression-related damage.

12. Once a week, you should fast at least until dinner. Fasting once a week has been shown to dramatically slow brain aging and accelerate repair of this essential organ. Experiments have demonstrated that fasting causes the brain to generate growth-stimulating chemicals (brain growth factor and epithelial growth factor) that promote healing of damaged neurons.

Hi Carol.....

Would it be too much to ask for you to run the request that was posted on the 9/27 issue of your newsletter regarding the cancer walk every time a newsletter goes out this week?

Not at all!

Blake and Rena are both walking to take strides against breast cancer....and sadly so many of our classmates have been victims of this horrible disease. Thanks so much. ....and ANY amount donated is appreciated.

The links for the breast cancer walk site are below..... The first one is Rena's and the second site is Blake's. The walk in DC is October 21st....so if you could run the reminder with each newsletter up to that date, it would be greatly appreciated.

Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!

Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting

Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel - I'm home

It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain

Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands

It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Autumn in New York
The gleaming rooftops at sundown
Oh, autumn in New York
It lifts you up when you run down

Yes, jaded roux and gay divorcees
Who lunch at the Ritz
Will tell you that it's divine

This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Oh, autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain

Yes, lovers that bless the dark
On the benches in Central Park
Greet autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain

Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands

It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
