TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT
NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond
Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in
1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.
• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.
• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

Buying in bulk can be a great way to cut down on waste. However, only buy what you will use, especially when it comes to food items. If you buy a lot of fresh cranberries to put in your freezer as the season for fresh berries is very limited, make sure you don’t forget them. They should be used within a year or they will shrivel and have to be tossed! (You could compost them, but what a waste of delicious, healthy berries!)

“The cranberry is a tiny but amazing fruit that is unique in the variety of health benefits it may provide.” - Sherry A. Tamumihardjo, University of Wisconsin

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, cranberries contain one of the highest levels of “oxygen radical absorbance capacity” (ORAC). This makes them great anti-oxidants, which are important for the body to fight cell damage that can weaken our immune systems and make us vulnerable to cancer, heart disease, aging and more. More and more studies are showing that cranberries are important for good health, just as the Native Americans thought years ago.
Comedian Brian Regan on cranberry salesmen and cranberries in other juices: “Hey, you got some apples? Put some cranberries in there. We’ll call it cran-apple and go 50-50. What, you got grapes? How about cran-grape! What, you got mangos? Cran-mango! What, you got pork chops? Cran-chops! Why don’t you back off, cranberry man. Take your sales trophy and have a vacation!”
Since cranberries are dark red, how can there be “white cranberry juice drinks?” The drinks are made from cranberries that are mature but are used before they have changed from white to their dark red color.

A Tribute To Sports-men And Women
By Tresa Erickson
Conservation efforts have increased dramatically since the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. An avid sportsman, Roosevelt worked hard to protect the natural resources he so loved. Assisting him in the effort were thousands of fellow sportsmen and wom-en. Together, they pushed for laws protecting public lands, waters and wildlife, requiring fishing and hunt-ing licenses, and funding state conservation agencies through taxation of gear. As a result, hundreds of thou-sands of species were saved from extinction, including antelope, elk, white-tailed
deer, wild turkeys and wood ducks. While Roos-evelt was rec-ognized for his efforts, most sports-men and women were not. They de-served public recognition, too.
Acutely aware of the prob-lem, Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe suggested the creation of a day to thank sportsmen and wom-en for their conservation efforts. Governor Raymond Shafer supported the idea and established Outdoor Sportsman’s Day in the state in 1970.
The idea for a national day gained momentum with support from the National Shooting Sports Founda-tion, and just a year later, Congress got into the act. Senator Thomas McIntyre from New Hampshire and Representative Bob Sikes from Florida each pre-sented a bill calling for the establishment of National
Hunting and Fishing Day on the fourth Saturday of September. The bills were well received and passed in both houses. President Richard Nixon signed the first proc-lamation of the day on May 2, 1972.
From there, the celebra-tion of National Hunting and Fishing Day took off. Every state governor and many city mayors jumped onboard, work-ing diligently to pro-mote the day. National, regional, state and lo-cal organizations re-sponded with hundreds of hunting and fishing events.
The celebration of Na-tional Hunting and Fishing Day continues to this day. Each year, prominent figures from politicians to athletes to entertainers serve as chair of the day. Count-less events are held ev-erywhere in honor of the conservation efforts of sportsmen and wom-en. These serve to raise awareness of the cause and give others a chance to see how fun hunting and fishing can be.

10 REASONSWhy Isagenix® is Your Anti-Aging Solution1. SLOW AGING FROM THE INSIDE OUTIsagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing™ products help eliminate harmful toxins and impurities from the body that can accelerate the aging process. These products also replenish the body with crucial nutrients for optimal health. The Rejuvity and other anti-aging products also address the need for optimal cellular nutrition that ultimately creates a new level of wellness, vitality, and youthful appearance from the inside out.
2. ADDRESS AGING ON ALL FRONTS-NOT JUST SKINThe skin is largely an indication of how the body is aging. If the body has been abused, neglected and malnourished, then the skin will reflect this. However, if the body’s cells, tissues and organs are protected from harmful pollutants and replenished with crucial nutrients, the skin will reflect this level of health by appearing vibrant, glowing and youthful.
3. NO HARSH CHEMICALS OR IRRITANTSThe anti-aging products in the Rejuvity and IsaDermix® lines do not use any harsh, irritating chemicals or compounds, including phthalates or parabens. Other common products that include harsh compounds often require downtime and may damage the skin further.
4. PROMOTE SKIN’S NATURAL PROCESSESAgeless Renewal Serum and other anti-aging skin products help minimize the appearance of deep wrinkles, support collagen production, improve elasticity and tone, and increase firmness by helping the skin remember what it has forgotten as we age.
5. BOOST ENERGY, VITALITY, AND OVERALL HEALTHIn addition to the superior skin care, Rejuvity and other Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing products slow biological aging of the entire body, leading to enhanced energy and a new level of vitality and improved overall wellness.6. SUPPORTED BY SCIENCEAll of the ingredients in Rejuvity and the other Isagenix anti-aging and replenishing products are supported by scientific research. In addition, many of the company’s own products - including Ageless Renewal Serum - have been specifically investigated in scientific trials with extremely positive results. A recent trial on Ageless Renewal Serum showed a 92% increase in the overall improvement of the skin, and the CoQ10 used in Ageless Actives has been shown to be 800% more absorbable than standard powder forms used in other products.
7. SUPERIOR QUALITYIsagenix prides itself in using only the highest quality ingredients. With Rejuvity and other anti-aging product lines, this commitment to quality continues.8. UNMATCHED INGREDIENT FORMULATIONSAll of the Isagenix product lines boast unmatched ingredient profiles you can’t find in any other product.
