Trivia

In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs," therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression, "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg."

If You Can Help, Do It!
by Bob McElwain

If you don't have your own website, you haven't discovered how easy it is to totally trash a page.  Or the entire site. If you do have one, you already know.  And you don't want to hear any more about it.  So let me just remind all that it's easy to goof.

I moved hosts some time back.  And hey, I worked it. I kept the previous site running until I knew the new site was thoroughly tested.  And in both browsers.  And with an older version of each.

It was rock solid.  No question.  Only then did I change the DNS pointers, and thus "open" the new site.  Confident, is what I was.

Want the truth?  It took two months of visitor input before I finally got stuff cleaned up pretty good.  It's been over six months now, and thanks to a considerate visitor, I just fixed a dandy blunder two days back.  I'm still wondering how I could have missed this one.  For six months?

I've a good link checker.  And another one that's not so hot.  I use them both on a regular basis.  And yet I'll bet a buck against your dime, there are still bad links on my site.

So when you are visiting a site and notice something not quite right (or really fouled up!), take a minute or so and send a note to the webmaster.  You'll get a very sincere thank-you nearly every time.

And if you get such a message about your site, work up a neat reply.  Make it clear the writer has really made a difference.  For in pointing out something overlooked, you have the opportunity to make certain nobody else will stumble upon it.

A Little Humor

Proud of You
=-=-=-=-=-=-=

As one of the relatively few female airline pilots, I've often been mistaken for a flight attendant, ticket agent, or even a snack-bar employee. Occasionally people will see me in uniform and ask if I'm a "real" pilot. Still others congratulate me for making it in a male-dominated field. One day I was in the restroom before a flight. I was at the sink, brushing my teeth, when a woman walked through the door and looked over at me. "My sister would be so proud of you!" she remarked.

I figured her sister must be in the airline business, so I smiled and asked why.

Replied the woman, "She's a dentist."

A frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and was told, "You are going to meet a beautiful young woman who will want to know everything about you."

The frog said, "That's great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?"

"No," said the psychic, "Next term--in her biology class."

A mother was worried that her three-year-old son was unusually precocious, and took him to a psychiatrist.

"Right," said the shrink, "We'll just try a few simple tests." To the boy, he said "Say a few words - anything that comes into your mind."

The boy turned to his mother and asked, "Does he want logically constructed sentences or just a few random and purely isolated words?"

The company where my brother worked had a phone system that rerouted after-hours calls. If any calls came in on a certain line while he was working late, Dave knew it would be a wrong number.

It got to the point where, as soon as the phone rang, Dave would pick up and say, "Psychic Hotline. I'm sorry, but you've dialed the wrong number."

The callers would often reply with something like, "I didn't even ask to speak to anyone yet. How did you know I dialed the wrong ... Oh!" (Click)

Health Tip of the Week
by Dr. Earl Mindell

Weight Loss Miracle Pill?

If you've ever been around people who have smoked marijuana, or if you've seen anyone do it in the movies, you know about "the munchies"—the acute carbohydrate cravings to which that pot smokers are vulnerable. Due to the combination of reduced inhibitions and enormous appetite, a person who is high on marijuana can eat a huge number of calories as processed junk food. It was only a matter of time before it occurred to obesity drug researchers to figure out why pot triggers these cravings, and what sort of drug might be created to block them. Doing so might create a drug that would erase or minimize the cravings for carbohydrate-rich foods that most experts agree are largely to blame for the obesity epidemic.

Now, such a drug has been developed. It's called Acomplia (generic name: rimonabant). Acomplia is the first of a new class of drugs, the selective CB1 endocannabinoid receptor antagonists. These drugs block the binding of cannabinoids, the "feel-good" neurochemicals that are created in the body—and that are mimicked by chemicals in marijuana—to receptors on nerves. The end result: a decrease in appetite.

In pre-approval clinical testing of the drug over two years, obese subjects lost five to ten percent of their body weight—an average of 19 pounds, with an average three inches lost from around the waist. Positive changes were observed with Acomplia users' blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) and their blood sugar and insulin levels. Placebo patients lost some weight, too—an average of five pounds, with 1.5 inches lost from the waist—but the Acomplia patients had an obvious advantage.

Sanofi-Aventis, the drug company that developed Acomplia, has been promising that the drug would soon be available in the United States for some time now. They had expected FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval sometime in 2006, but for now, they haven't gotten it—for undisclosed reasons. Most experts believe that safety concerns are preventing the embattled FDA from giving this drug the go-ahead.

In some of the pre-approval trials, the incidence of psychiatric disorders in subjects taking Acomplia was 2.7 times the incidence of such disorders in placebo patients. No big surprise, when you consider that the drug blocks nerve receptors that deal in pleasure and joy. Now, this potential blockbuster drug is not expected to be approved in the United States until 2007. European authorities have already approved it, however.

There's a lot of buzz about this drug in obesity treatment circles. Patients are asking for it all over the place, thinking—because of what is paramount to viral marketing, with word-of-mouth reports about this drug traveling like wildfire—that this is The Magic Pill that will help all those folks who can't seem to lose weight and keep it off in a world full of temptations. It is no such thing. It is somewhat helpful, but it is by no means a magic pill that will make any big difference in the big picture of obesity. And in order to prevent regain of the weight, people may have to take it for life—a dream for the pharmaceutical company, but possibly a nightmare for the patient.

Shedding some weight is better than shedding none, but you can shed some weight through strict dietary control and frequent exercise, too. Not as easy as taking a pill, I'll grant you, but far, far safer in the long run. According to Morgan Stanley, safety concerns about this drug are likely to continue until it has been on the market for a long time.

There aren't really any other drugs that work well for weight loss without side effects. Xenical (orlistat), the lipase enzyme inhibitor that prevents the absorption of fats in the GI tract, is set to go over-the-counter under the unprepossessing name Alli. With the issues of diarrhea and anal leakage still issues in (OTC) over-the-counter form, it's not likely that this drug will get a whole lot of play. Meridia (sibutramine), which affects neurotransmitters in a fashion similar to popular antidepressant drugs, hasn't really caught on either.

Ho, hum...whole foods diet, exercise, supplements (in particular, I like Garcinia cambogia, 5-HTP, ginseng, goji juice, gymnema sylvestre, banaba, and bitter melon (momordica charantia).  You can take control; I've got a stack of testimonials from people who have done it to back me up. Don't wait for Acomplia or any other drug to start shedding those pounds!
