Where Downloads Go

Are you constantly downloading programs and putting new items on your computer? If so, have you ever noticed that most of those download files go straight to your desktop?  The desktop is a pretty common place on a computer. So, the best explanation is, they're sent there so that you'll have an easier time finding them later on. If the file goes directly to the desktop, you don't have to rummage around in your other folders to find the new download. Now, most programs do have a choice included in the download process that allows you to change the place they go to, so if you pay close attention to that, you'll be able to select another location.

Also, if you use Firefox as your main Web browser, you can change where your downloads go before they even start. In Firefox, go to Tools, Options and click on the Downloads icon. Click on the button that says "Save all files to this folder" and from there, you can choose your favorite location. The choices they have listed are Desktop and My Downloads, but if you click on Other, you can choose another spot.

Kamikaze pilots get first order

On this day in 1945, Japanese pilots received the first order to become kamikaze, meaning "divine wind" in Japanese. The suicidal blitz of the kamikazes revealed Japan's desperation in the final months of World War II. Most of Japan's top pilots were dead, but youngsters needed little training to take planes full of explosives and crash them into ships. At Okinawa, they sank 30 ships and killed almost 5,000 Americans.

The Mysterious Power of Belief
By Dr Jill Ammon-Wexler

What is the mysterious and amazing power of a single belief? Read on!

Recently one of the entrepreneurs I work with wondered why he could “never seem to get ahead financially.”

“I've done everything all the self-help books tell me to do,” Edward explained. “I've set goals, I've visualized, I've gone to one seminar after another -- but I still can't seem to get any more money in my life.”

“Tell me,” I asked," what do you BELIEVE to be true about having more money." Here's Edward's list of beliefs about money:

** I just can't seem to make any more money.
** I’ve hit my peak financially.
** It’s just hard to make money.
** The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.
** I really can get along OK without more money.
** The tax man will just take it anyway.
** I don’t want to sell my soul just to have more money.

Many people will agree with the items on Edward's list. So what's the problem?

The problem is this: Edward's internal beliefs about money do NOT support his desire for more money in his life. In fact, his beliefs actually negate his desire.

How Beliefs Run Our Lives
We each have a set of beliefs and assumptions for every area of our life: From money to success … to relationships and body image. And most of these beliefs go way back into our childhood.

So what?

Because of the very nature of belief, we truly DO believe these assumptions to be true. In fact, we usually automatically assume a belief is true without even thinking about it. That's why they have such a mysterious hold over us!
 

Edward BELIEVES he would have to “sell his soul” to get more money in his life ... and that the “tax man would just take it anyway.” And he further believes he has “hit his peak financially” ... and “really CAN get along without more money.” Does that sound like a set of beliefs supporting his desire for more money in his life? Nope!

The Power of a Belief
Have you taken a look at your subconscious beliefs about what YOU say you want to create in YOUR life?

Most of us are willing to scrutinize almost all aspects of ourselves, but can get very defensive if someone questions one of our beliefs. Since we assume our beliefs are beyond question, they often they truly go unquestioned ... even by ourself.

A True Story
But there's hope. Years ago I discovered an amazing thing about how a single thought can overturn the most engrained belief. It dates back years ago to when I first began to use biofeedback in my clinic.

I especially recall the wife of a prominent local surgeon who came in hoping biofeedback would provide relief from her crippling back pain.

Mrs. Robbins (not her real name) had been in a nasty car crash years earlier and had wrenched her back. Her back pain had never healed, and she shuffled into the clinic leaning heavily on a cane although she was only in her early 40s..

In the first session I discovered her belief she would never heal as she explained in tears that her best friend had died in the crash.

I attached biofeedback sensors to her back, and we both observed the computer monitor as she painfully attempted to move her legs. Then I hooked up the sensors to her arm and had her tense, then relax, her arm muscles. She clearly saw the difference between relaxed and tense on the screen.

Then I suggested that her back pain “might” be due to muscle bracing that had become a chronic habit -- and proposed an experiment in which she would just “think” about allowing her back to relax.

We placed sensors on her back again and I turned the screen away from her as she began to think about allowing her back to relax. Sure enough, the pain spikes reduced dramatically. When I rotated the screen so she could see it, her jaw dropped.

The power of a single thought had immediately reduced the muscle spasms in her back. I asked her how her back felt. She was even more amazed. The skin had begun to warm a little as her circulation was partially restored.

After only three biofeedback sessions she was able to release the muscle spasms in her back with a single thought. And a few weeks later, the cane was gone.

She had cured herself from a crippling belief ("I don't think I'll ever heal") with a single powerful alternative belief ("I can relax the muscle spasms in my back.")

Old beliefs CAN be replaced with success-affirming positive thoughts.

Replacing Limiting Beliefs
Replacing limiting beliefs requires dealing with the ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) attached to those beliefs.

If you do have limiting beliefs, your ANTs will constantly reinforce those beliefs. The only way to stomp ANTs is to create new positive beliefs to replace the old negatives!

It does NOT matter if you believe these new positive beliefs at first. Go ahead and read that sentence again!

Your mind is a creature of habit. The more often you consciously focus on your new positive beliefs, the faster they will be taken into your subconscious mind to replace your old limiting beliefs. So do a mental house-cleaning and get rid of those ANTs.

The S.N.A.P. Method
The author, Dr Jill Ammon-Wexler, is the developer of the S.N.A.P. (Substitute neural Association Programming) method of rapid personal empowerment. A doctor of psychology and pioneer brain/mind researcher, Dr Jill tells us that the ONLY way to replace a habit is to attack it on a cellular level.

"Everything else is just applying a bandaid," Dr Jill says. "The thing to do is grab any negative thought at the moment it enters our consciousness, identify the stimulus that triggered it, and overwrite the neural pathway holding that thought." http://www.quantum-self.com

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year (which are the only members of the deer family, Cervidae, to have females do so). Male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.

Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, according to every historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, every single one of them, from Rudolf to Blitzen........had to be a female.

We should have known this when they were able to find their way.

I decided to get my husband to address Christmas cards, as I had so much to do. I arranged everything we needed, then hopefully pulled up a chair and said, "Come on, Dear, let's get these out of the way."

He glanced at the array on the table, turned away and went into the den, returning moments later with a high stack of cards, stamped, sealed, and addressed.

"They're last year's," he said. "I forgot to mail them. Now let's go out to dinner and relax."

A fellow was walking along a country road and came upon a farmer working in his field. The man called out to the farmer and asked how long it would take him to get to the next town.

The farmer didn't answer. So, after waiting a bit, the fellow started walking again.

After the man had gone about 100 yards, the farmer yelled to him and said, "About 20 minutes."

Confused, the man turned back toward the farmer and inquired, "Why didn't you tell me that when I asked you?"

"Well," said the farmer, "I didn't know how fast you could walk."
