Today's Brain Teaser . . .
You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely? (answer below)
Need Pain Relief? Try This . . .
If you're looking to relieve pain – try meditation. People all over the world have recognized the benefits of meditation for thousands of years. And recent studies show even brief training in meditation can help ease pain.
University of North Carolina at Charlotte researchers found that students who received a single hour of mindfulness training over three days significantly reduced their awareness and sensitivity to pain. Other studies show that meditation is particularly helpful to people who suffer from chronic back pain, fibromyalgia and migraines. Here's how you can get started:
Understand that most types of meditation have four elements in common: 1) a quiet location, 2) a specific and comfortable posture, 3) a focus of attention, and 4) an open attitude.
Try this 3-minute exercise called A.C.E. recommended by Psychologist Elisha Goldstein, PhD. Do it several times a day:
-
Awareness. Spend 60 seconds becoming aware of what is happening right now in your thoughts and emotions.
-
Collecting. Spend another 60 seconds collecting your attention on your breathing. Notice where you are breathing most prominently your nose, chest or belly.
-
Expanding. Spend another 60 seconds expanding your awareness into your physical body and noticing sensations like tingling, warmth, pain and coolness at specific sites.
Practice. Dr. Robert Bonakdar from the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine says the idea is to relax your body and become aware of your pain without judging it or fixating on it. Instead of running away from pain, come to terms with it. The reduced tension helps ease pain.
Educate yourself. You can buy books and tapes on all kinds of meditation techniques (mindfulness meditation, mantra meditation, relaxation response, guided imagery etc.) or seek out information on the internet. Try different techniques to see which one best suits you. If you have chronic pain, you might consider taking formal training.

Should You Get A Flu Shot? Consider These Facts...
Despite all the publicity and serious worldwide concern about the H1N1 flu virus last year, many U.S. adults chose not to get vaccinated. As flu seasons approaches, here are some points to consider:
The U.S. Centers For Disease Control reiterates that the flu is a contagious disease that can be life-threatening. They estimated that 60 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus by March 2010. Some 270,000 were hospitalized and more than 12,000 died.
The 2010-2011 vaccine will protect against 2009 H1N1 and two other flu viruses (an H3N2 virus and an influenza B). People who got the 2009 H1N1 vaccine (or had that flu) should still get the 2010-2011 vaccine.
The CDC recommends that all people six months and older be vaccinated each year. Adults only need one shot while some children will need two. A new, higher-dosage vaccine will be available for people 65 and older. Most flu occurs from November through May. You should get the vaccine as soon as it is available in your area.

Be wary of an offer in your mail for a "professional card." These are normally sent to small-business owners or corporate executives but more people seem to be getting them. The catch?

Real Estate Q & A . . .
Q. How Important Is Landscaping In Buying Or Selling A House?
A. Good landscaping can increase your home's resale value by 14 percent, according to the Associated Landscape Contractors of America. Better curb appeal may speed up the sale by as much as six weeks.
Professionals recommend that you invest 10 percent of your home's value in landscaping. More than just plantings, this includes structural features such as lighting, outdoor rooms, fences and pools. Here are some helpful tips:
Determine what you need. Are you landscaping to sell your home or to enjoy the property yourself for the longer term.
Get professional guidance. Depending on the scope of your project and budget, consider hiring an arborist, a landscape designer or a certified landscape architect. Ask friends for recommendations or search web sites such as the one for The American Society of Landscape Architects.
Develop a plan. Set your priorities what needs to be done (have you solved that drainage problem?) versus what you'd like to do (put in an outdoor entertainment area). If you take a piecemeal approach, the result will look disorganized and cost you more money in the long run.
