The real-life hills of the Windows XP Wallpaper....

While many people think the Windows image is a digital creation, it was 

actually snapped in California’s Sonoma Valley.

Photographer Chuck O’Rear took it as he drove along Highway 121. And he 

must be glad he did, he received one of the largest amounts ever paid 

to a living, working photographer.

It is predicted the image has been seen by and enjoyed by billions of 

people -- even some Mac users.

Facts about sense of Smell...

People recall smells with a 65% accuracy after a year, while the visual 

recall of photos sinks to about 50% after only three months. 


It is important to understand that throughout every day and night of 

our lives we smell a wide variety of odors without being aware of them 

at all.


Your sense of smell is least acute in the morning; our ability to 

perceive odors increases as the day wears on. 

Your nose can smell directionally, telling you where an odor 

originates.

A larger portion of the brains of animals and fish are devoted to the 

sense of smell than that of humans. 


Our sense of taste is greatly influenced by our sense of smell. 


The average human being is able to recognize approximately 10,000 

different odors.


No two people smell the same odor the same way. In other words, a rose 

may smell sweeter to some people than to others. 


Everyone has his or her own unique odor-identity or “smell fingerprint. 


The sense of smell plays a vital role in our sense of well-being and 

quality of life.

4 Healthy Foods for Instant Energy........!

1-  FISH
Research shows a link between memory, test-taking skills and, gulp,

eating fish for breakfast. While that's not typically pleasing to

little palates, the benefits are huge. The omega 3 fatty acids found in

fatty fish like wild salmon have been proven to reduce depression and

hyperactivity and increase focus and concentration. In addition, all

that high quality protein keeps kids' blood sugar (and therefore their

moods) steady while keeping them full for hours.


2-  BANANAS
Many kids are surprisingly potassium deficient-a problem that can

manifest in a variety of ways, including lethargy and memory problems.

This necessary nutrient, which is also found in dried apricots, figs,

and plums, helps regulate the body's nervous and muscular systems.


3-  OATMEAL
Grains have been getting a bad rap lately, but whole grains are still

one of the best sources of energy we have-especially for little bodies

that are still growing. The fiber and carbohydrates in oatmeal provide

a long-lasting, consistent source of energy that can be dressed up in a

million different ways.


4-  WATER
It doesn't come with any slick advertisements or cutesy cartoon

characters to sell it, but plain old H2O is one of the quickest energy

boosters out there. When kids become dehydrated, their energy plummets

and their brain gets foggy, which makes it hard to concentrate.
