Tuesday, August 31, 2011 is Day 31 of the Second Global Celebration of:
ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTERNATIONAL©2010
Said HOLIDATE® is being staged for Today and marks the last day of this particular HOLIDATE only because August has 31 Days in it. However, don’t let that stop you in your pursuits of knowing more and more about Nature. ANTS are as ANTeresting as can be, not BEE. That’s another Species, Folks.
Now, that it is the last Day of this Month’s Celebration – let’s call that a CelebrANTion, lots of things have been learned and shared about this Inquisitive Creature. There’s lots more in the Field; on the Internet and via the various FB groups that delve into the Study of this most incredulous Creature.
I encourage you all to take the time out to learn about ANTS, Nature and whatever tickles your fancy. Share it with like minded People. That’s what makes life interesting and ANTeresting, both!
My last Tidbit is derived from a Promotional Paper I wrote and had published on February 27TH of this year. Parts state:
We’re all here for a Purpose. From the SMALLEST Molecule to the LARGEST Mammoth, Life on Earth began with a Single-Cell Purpose to live the best Life possible. Look about you! Every Creature has its own Style and System ruled by The Imprints of Nature and aided by Gravity, Time and Space. This Process grows, whether you are an inch or a mile-high in Stature. These Innate Dynamics openly contain the INGREDIANTS & ELEMANTS of a powerful STORY, ready to be told, aptly entitled: iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009.
HOW CLASSIFICATION (DOESN’T) WORK:
Sometimes that Purpose is not plain to see, especially so…if you are DIFFERANT. That DIFFERANTS primes you for special Jobs and Services that makes your Days special and fly-on-by. The most obvious, of course, stands out boldly while the most un-obvious fades into The Background. Each Body serves an importANT Purpose.
And that I know for sure…
Until next August, I can always be reached at:

NEWS FLASH!
Dear Readers, I am going to pre-emp what I was initially gong to tell you today about ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTL ©2010 to give you some RAN: Real ANT News from the Expert himself on ANTS, none other than:
DR. JAMES C. TRAGER, Ph.D
who works at the Shaw Nature Reserve - Missouri Botanical Garden and is their Biologist/Naturalist. I’m sure he doesn’t consider his JOB ‘work’ tho…but loves every minute of it!
With all the flooding of and on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA during Hurricane Irene this past Weekend, I began wondering and worrying about what the ANTS do under all this water. I wrote to Doc Trager yesterday via FB here as I’m sure many of you may have thought of this, too.
And what a pleas-ANT surprise! He promptly wrote back with this definitive Answer (ANTS-wer):
“Ants retreat into their nests when it's rainy, and get stuck there during floods. They can endure low oxygen levels in the bubbles of air trapped in their nests (or even in water) for much longer than we can even imagine. Of course, if the water persists for too long, they do die. This is why few ants live in floodplains.”
Which reminds me. Living here in Chicagoland, USA we have a floodplain in Des Plaines, IL (one of the nearby suburbs) that gets flooded out quite regularly. Yet, the people continue to move there and then openly complain when their basements and yards get pools of standing water in them for days on end. What’s the matter with People – Humans? There’s something wrong here with their Reasoning and/or Lack of Common Sense. If ANTS don’t live in a floodplain – why can’t Humans take a clue from them?
MY NEXT QUESTION IS: How do ANTS realize and determine they are ‘building’ a Colony or ANT Hill in or on a Floodplain? Is it something in their DNA? Yes, it may be – just that. I find it so intriguing that Mother Nature equips her Creatures no matter what size they are to cope and survive. And, with the erratical Nature of Weather Patterns these days, it takes some doing to get on by!
I whole-heartedly thank Doc James C. Trager, Ph.D. for his fabulous Exposé here! Now, we all know the Answer to a very import-ANT Question thanks to him!
I’m sure that if you write to Dr. T at Shaw Nature Reserve found online, he’ll write back. If you’re a Teacher, who would be better to have come and talk to your Students about Nature than: DR. TRAGER?
Like I always say: When in Doubt, check out THE ANTS to see how they do it…

Monday, August 29, 2011 is Day 29 of the Second Global Celebration of:
ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTERNATIONAL©2010
Said HOLIDATE® is being staged for Today & the Remainder of August only because ANTS are as ANTeresting as can be, not BEE. That’s another Species, Folks.
This was written back on February 27, 2011 but still is as applicable then as it is now:
The most misunderstood Creature on The Planet (that’s PLANET, of course) is THE ANT. For those of you who guessed that correct ANTSWER (that’s ‘Answer’ in Humanese), by all means give yourself a Pat (i.e.: pANT) on The Back. Soon, you are to learn a New Perspective about Life, all taken from The APoV: ANTS’ Point of View, because the most written about and observed Creature is THE ANT.
Chronologically, ANTS go back 130,000,000 years, outliving The Dinosaur by 65,000,000 years, even though ANTS are a Smidgen of the Mighty Lizards’ GIGANTIC Size. Man’s History is surely miniscule compared to The ANT’s Past. That Statement must be further clarified as ANT Life registers as a ‘Prehistory’ since Sundials, Clocks, Watches and Timepieces were not invented, yet every Act(ion) was performed in a CONSCIANTIOUS State and timely Manner. How could that Function possibly be? There’s no INFERANTS or inference to BEES in this Case. ANTS are The Topic here and the RELEVANT Answers to any and every Question are easily found Online, in your Backyard and at your Family Picnics. ANTS live ‘local’ (‘locally’ in proper English), but work global(ly). Teamwork is hot-wired into their Brain that has kept THE ANTS center-stage in Nature, acting as Nature’s Farmer in The Realm We call Life. Like Humans, they come in a Variety of lively and lovely Colors, Hues, Shades and SKiN Tones.
Now, that should give you something to think about…

A MUST-READ that I just found on the web about 1 of my favorite: THE LORD OF THE ANTS, Prof. E.O. Wilson of Harvard. Said piece is @: http://bit.ly/oZpaZb - He talks about Biodiversity on this page. I’m sitting here pre-occupied w/ the horrors of what’s happening to our friends & family on the eastern seaboard of the USA as Hurricane Irene works her way up the coast. We know that devastation will be done to humanic places, but what happens to ANTS in their underground? Suspecting they have been here for the last 130 million years, a storm like this probably doesn’t affect them. Also, what about the wild life in the oceans that are right below the Hurricane that’s passing over…do they feel it? So nice to know I can google these questions…

Now here’s a very interesting Tabulation that will interest all ANT lovers and ANT-husiasts, as discussed by THE ANT CHARACTERS in my 2 Books & 2 Movie Scripts. They ask:
“How many ANT Books have been written with ‘ANT’ in its Title?”
That’s a real and really hard Number to tabulate for sure since there are many levels of Ant Lovers – from the serious to the ones writing limericks. Your guess is as good as mine.

So, for those of you who are clock, watch and calendar observ-ANTS, it’s now August 25TH & in 4 months from today, it will be Christmas of 2011. In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s often cold and icey. The ANTS have been gone – departed for approximately 2.5 months now and may of us may be wondering:
What do they do when the ground is frozen? They definitely do not take off with the Monarch Butterflies or Wild Geese and fly south for the Winter. That’s a question worth asking. And the answer lies here online at:
How do ANTS pass The Winter at:
http://ant.edb.miyakyo-u.ac.jp/BE/Kingdom/5657/5657e.html
What I found quite amusing was this:
"Most species of ANTS eat a large amount of food in autumn to put on fat, thereby allowing them to go without food through the winter."
As if most of us have ‘seen’ a Fat ANT. With the ‘crumbs’ they eat, I cannot really imagine that they do consume a ‘LARGE’ amount of food the way Humans gobble up everything within sight.
And, My Friends, that’s the way THEY ‘do it’ in Nature. No wonder they’ve persisted for over 130,000,000 years.

ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTERNATIONAL©2010
Said HOLIDATE® is being staged for Today & the Remainder of August only because ANTS are as ANTeresting as can be, not BEE. That’s another Species, Folks.
As one of the leading ANTS in my Books & Movie Scripts explains:
“There’s no need for us ANTS to be domesticated in our social system. WE are advANTSed far beyond domestication. WE fare very well ‘The Way’ WE are, as WE ANTS were created so long ago before ‘long’ became a standard Human vocabulary word and before Human domestication turned other species into dependANTS, not independANTS. Indeed, domestication is one workable definition of slavery. Domestication is getting along with and being subserviANT to creatures in one’s domain that prevail in a variety of ways, many of which can be caustic for the health & welfare of less well-arm(our)ed and well-suited life forms. Our actions (if seriously observed by all other species including Humans) are the building blocks of how a cellular civilization should be operated, cell-by-cell. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, WE ANTS are far more civilized than much LARGER species living here on Planet Earth, proving size or brawniness and SKiN color have never mattered when judging the character of a character.”
You can’t say it much better than that in 162 words!

Here is an incredibly interesting – ANTeresting Article about how ANTS reproduce. It deals with Cloning. Remember when Humans thought they were on to something when the cloned DOLLY, The Sheep. Evid-ANT-ly via this article, the ANTS have been on to this procedure much longer and with much more luck than we mortal men (and women) have.
The Opening Title & Paragraph states:
Scientists Discover All-Female Ant Species that Reproduces by Cloning
“A group of Amazonian ants have evolved an extremely unusual social system: They are all female and reproduce via cloning. Though their sexual organs have virtually disappeared, they have also gained some extraordinary abilities.”
Found at:

Said HOLIDATE® is being staged for Today & the Remainder of August only because ANTS are as ANTeresting as can be, not BEE. That’s another Species, Folks.
We all get hungry, but how (and in some places in the world), what and when we eat is entirely left up to the Environment we live in. Which reminds me of the many places (many in Africa) where poverty swells and starvation/famine n runs rampant. Without so much as a crumb, how do ANTS find food here to eat? That’s a good question to ask. For the places on the Planet where there is plenty to eat (and crumbs galore are here, there and everywhere), it’s of great interest to note that ANTS are partial to 3 Foods that are delineated at:
http://students.estrellamountain.edu/drakuna/studentfrontpageprojects/AnetteKelly/new_page_5.htm
Sweet juices from flowers and leaves; milk from aphids and juices from other insects are the correct ANTSwers to that question.

Derived from yesterday’s Website is this info about Mutualism:
When you see an ANT in Nature on a Flower, what is IT doing? Let me tell you: The Flower has Glands that produce Nectar, a sweet and fortifying Beverage for the ANTS. It’s the booze – the shot that ANTS need to be energized.
The ANTS sip the Flower’s Nectar and simultaneously scare away any other Insects that plan to harm and/or prey upon that particular Flower.
“What’s in this for the ANT?” you may ask.
The Flower gives the helpful ANT Food and in return, they protect the Plant. Mutualism is the scientific name given to this relationship, where both Organisms benefit.
Mutualistic Relationships are very common in Tropical Rainforests and are quite common in many other Species and Breeds. Do you homework, Boys & Girls; Ladies & Gentlemen and think of more – there are Plenty to consider, for sure.
We get by with a little help from our friends…no matter what the Species…

Even if you are not an ANT Expert or Myrmecologist as they are called or Entomologist, there’s a plethora of facts you can find – even on line – that will solve those questions for you – even if you don’t insert the question mark.
For today, I decided I wanted to know WHO is the Fiercest ANT of them all so I googled that and found just that at:
https://www.msu.edu/~urquhart/tour/odont.html
The ANT in question is the Trap-jaw Ant of the Odontomachus species.
Dr.Gerald Urquhartreports that: “These are some of the fiercest ANTS in the tropical forest, measuring 3/4 of an inch (2 cm). Their Sting packs a wallop, and their ‘cousin species’ is called a bullet ant because its sting hurts so much. Trap-jaw ants have huge jaws, called mandibles. These jaws will close quickly if touched, and the can hurt small insects and other animals. For humans, the sting is the biggest problem.”
If you wish to learn more from Dr. G., he can be contacted directly at:
urquhar5(at)msu(dot)edu
Therefore, Folks, for today, stay away from the Odontomachus species.

ANTS are active all year long in the Tropics but, in cooler Regions, survive the Winter in a State of Dormancy or Inactivity. The Forms of Inactivity are varied and some Temperate Species have Larvae going into the Inactive State (diapause), while in others, the Adults alone pass the Winter in a State of reduced Activity.
Now would you say they are taking a bit of a Siesta here? After all that Picnicking what else is an ANT to do?

The Abdomen of the ANT contains Two Stomachs. One Stomach holds the Food for itself and Second Stomach is for Food to be shared with other ANTS.
Now this is exemplary of Diversity of Species. On Humans, you can immediately tell who has a Gut. On an ANT, no one can tell, yet they have two Stomachs. Talk about getting Mixed Signals that happens to be 1 of the 3 major Topics I address in iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 - indeed a matter that is worth its Weight in ‘digested food’ even if it’s the Size of an ANT’s.

Chicago Screenwriters Network Swaree of Scriptwriters: Winners: 2011
As posted on my FB Page: Monday, August 15, 2011
Hold on there, COLIN: Your HEART better not 'go out' - you got lots 2 plan 4 after that DYNOMITE Event at the Mayne Stage Theatre on lovely Morse Av Sunday evening, saluting the very best in Midwest Screenwriting Talent. For those of you who did not attend, BOY, did you miss one heck of an entertaining Time. But there’s always next year…mark your Calendar.
Not only were such notables as Colin speaking, but Leslie Bee, the Queen Bee of Comedy opened up the Event – followed throughout the evening by Pete Jones – Dana Olsen & Michael Phillips, movie industry heavy hitters who gave their insights about the trade and what it means to win an Awards’ Ceremony like the 2011 Chicago Screenwriters Network – the 3rd Annual.
What was incredible in and of itself was that for each winning entry, a group of actors ‘re-enacted’ 1 of the (winning and action-packed) Scenes so the Scriptwriter (seated in the audience) could see HOW it would appear on stage. This novel Idea was absolutely incredible and total brilliance! Those Performers included: Harold Dennis, Julie Hurt, Richard, Mealey, Erica Sharpe, Andre Truss, Heather Winter & Jeff McLane, all giving Oscar performances.
And, of course, we can’t forget The Winners, the people who give so many others their Job and leave their imprint on History & Pop(ular Culture):
Those hearty (as in Heart & Soul) Midwest ScreenWriters are:
Kent Williams for PILLAR OF FIRE – Action
Matthew Quinn & Rick Mitchell for ON THE TRACK OF THE MALTESE & OTHER CURIOSITIES – Family
Curt Burdick – PROM NIGHT – Horror
Mary Santarelli – VILLA NOTTE - Comedy
Adedapo Akisanya – BENEATH THE ROCK – Drama (who also won the Overall Best Script Honor/Award)
By all means, Film Lovers, Writers & Producers/Directors-at-large, check out, Midwest Talent at: www.chicagoscreenwriters.org - and ask for COLIN!

2 ANT-eresting Statements are:
1) An ANT's brain may have the same processing power as a Macintosh II Computer.
2) Thousands of years ago, King Solomon wrote: "Go to the ANT, consider its ways and be wise".
Of course, it’s impossible to really find out if an ANT’s processing power equates to a PC, but in order for ANTS to do what they do, they do use other sets of skills that Humans cannot even fathom.
Take today for inst-ANTS. As I watched a very small Insect – of which I did not know what or who it was, as he hovered over a yellow flower that looked similarly to a Dandelion –I thought of how he can HOVER and I can’t. He can process the pollen taken from that flower and fly away – amongst 3 things that are pretty cool to say the least.
And as King Solomon realized: Much can be learned by just watching Nature – and in this particular case: THE ANT. He didn’t get to be king for nothing, you know.

Every Creature on the Planet is affected by ANTS. That’s why I am tremendously overjoyed that I can continue with the Topic in Round 2 – Book #2, which should be completed by December of 2011.
One Line that is exemplary, worth probing and one that I’ll include in the Cliff Notes’ Explanation lends itself to some serious thinking and contemplation about what We Humans represent , as a Species. It reads as:

AS Koopersmith launches: 3F: Famine-Free Fridays ® ©2011.
LGV: Let’s Go Viral: There is nothing more alarming than seeing how hungry, famished & starving so many people in the world are. This is 2011. I’ve seen this since the 1960s when Kids were ‘starving’ in Africa & their hollowed looks graced the pages of Life Magazine & all those leading networks’ broadcasting ‘back in the Day.’ I thought that Famine would have been eradicated – at least that’s what I thought as a Pre-Teen. Now, it’s as prevalent as ever. In our own Communities throughout the USA, 1000s of people go to bed; homeless; jobless & hungry. However, there’s something we can do together as a group because there are, after all: STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.
Today, as America’s Premier Eventologist, I am launching what’s known as:
3F: Famine-Free Fridays ® ©2011
whereby using Facebook here & Twitter to get the MESSAGE out virally. Won’t you join me? Many of us cannot afford what we used to ‘back in the Day,’ but just by joining & making the concerted effort, I’m sure that Organizations will be moved & therefore, heighten their Drives so that Hunger is lessened & people are free to pursue their Lives as previously planned.

Said HOLIDATE® is being staged for Today & the Remainder of August only because ANTS are so ANTeresting.
TODAY’S THEME:
Everybody has an ANT story. Some are better than others. My First Encounter with an ANT STORY began when my MOM told me about her ANT-rated Tale (although ANTS don’t really have ‘tails’ like dogs or cats do) when I was about 6 – give or take a half century ago –although the SPECIES – all 12,500 of them – dates back some 130 million years – far longer than any T-Rex has been state-side.
MOM’s Story goes like this: She went to a picnic – an ANT dropped into her Ice Cream – only wanted a little Taste, I’m sure. She freaked out – dropped the cone – cone then fed about 10,000 other ANTS swarming nearby. It may have been a plot to cease her Ice Cream. No Ice Cream Cone for Mom…however, THE ANTS had themselves one heck of a Picnic. Ice cream in the 1930s was differANT than it is Today…but it was cold & refreshing as all Ice Creams are since refrigeration was making and leaving its Mark – clear across the ground. Talk about getting cold feet…all 6 of them.
What’s your ANT Story? No, this is not going in to become a CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE ANT LOVER’S SOUL Series…although it could…

Tuesday, August 9, 2011: Day 9 of the Second Global Celebration of:

is being staged for Today which happens to fall on my Birthday, #59 for those of us counting. Let’s hear a round of applause for my Mom, Betty Friend Koopersmith who doesn’t even look 59 herself!
The Story begins like the Day did. It could not have been better.
My Dear Neighbor and Best Friend, Connie G. decorated our adjoining door in so much Birthday Whoopla, I almost needed a machete to get thru the ribbons, balloons, banners, gifts and wrappings. This Woman is Pure Love and Creativity. She makes getting older ‘FUN’ if you can imagine that. We sat and chatted; ate cake; drank coffee; got nutsy and discussed our various projects.
Later, I moseyed towards the garbage can and there on the sidewalk was a swarm of (at least) 500 RED ANTS. Nothing sweet and syrupy in particular was on the sidewalk. I always make sure my Birthday Cake goes IN me and not on the ground – although ANTS don’t really eat much. That’s why they are the opportune guests at Summertime Picnics. They are relatively 'LOW MAINTENACE' as it is said in the dating game. It was only about 7:45 AM and it amazed me that so many were out and about.
THE COUNTDOWN TO 60 BEGINS: Somebody must have tipped them off it was my Birthday – last one till 60 – last Birthday Cake till the 7TH Decade rolls in so they w-ANT-ed to get in on the GO: Grand Occasion. Hey, if THE ANTS can get up and get to WORK by 7:45 AM, there’s no reason why I can’t…but NOT on my Birthday.
And that is why we are celebrating:
ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTERNATIONAL©2010
Party on…no matter what Size you are…

is being staged for Today. Which reminds me of an incid-ANT that occurred last evening:
A torrential Rain tore through Evanston on Sunday Night, where I was standing in an enclosure ‘waiting out’ the storm. I happened to look down and there on the dry pavement was a dead bee - Lasioglossum pavonotum in insectized Latin. A swarm of little red ANTS had spotted the Bug and were checking the BEE out, that appeared to be gigANTic in size and scope compared to them. I had Visions of them hoisting the BEE above their heads and taking it back to The Colony. However, I had to ‘get on getting on’ and don’t’ know about the outcome. Such is the Course of Nature no matter how wet or dry it is ‘out there.’

Koopersmith: Countdown to 60: 1 Day & 1 Year away...OR Ageless @ 59.
DATELINE: August 8, 2011 - 10:47 AM CST
Chicago, IL USA:
Deemed as:
‘America’s Premier Eventologist’ by Insight Magazine (Washington, DC) in August of 1997
&
‘The Premier Eventologist in The History of The World’ by The Chicago Tribune (Chicago, IL ) in January of 2001
I have created over 2,000 HOLIDATES TO CELEBRATE (falling in 37 different Categories) that can be celebrated throughout the years but tomorrow: Tuesday, August 9, 2011 is One Date that cannot be repeated as it only comes but ONCE IN A LIFETIME and that is the Ability to:
Turn 59.
My Motto is: “59 & feeling fine!”
and/or
“59 & looking fine!”
Yet, most likely, the Combo of: “59 & feeling & looking fine!” works better yet for me.
Although that Chunk of Time flew by in a snap, many Achievements & Accomplishments were scored. As a Writer, reviewing One’s Decades is very important, allowing us Writers to chart where we have been and what took place, as well as to properly plan for future Projects.
It was a Decade that found me much GREENER than most other Americans. Because I use my Bike as ‘my Vehicle’ every Day, I account that for my great Health, biking 14 miles daily, regardless of impending Weather Conditions. I began Biking on a daily bases at age 45 and highly endorse the Sport for several reasons.
In February of 2002(6 months before I turned 50) I started AFSEE: Advocates For Senior Equality & Enrichment ® that is my Forum to write, launch and promote Facets about the Aging Process/Progress that is made, viewed from my encounters with various sectors. As a BabyBoomer, our Mentality works on being eager and enthusiastic to set records and to ‘take on Challenges.’
In January, 2005 by being a Pop Culture Maven, I instinctively knew that the Toy Craze was going to overtake Hollywood and the active Consumer. As an avid Toy Collector since Birth, I took Inventory of my TOYS that would soon be working their way into the Plots & Sub-Polots of my Stories.
In the November/December 2006 Issue of Maturity Today (based in Las Vegas), I was the Feature Story whose title read as: Breaking The Age Barrier. In 2006, 54 is the New 34, but the Politicians and Mass Media have yet to acknowledge it.
In 2007, my fascination in Animation increased and I began connecting up with various People whose interest in this Art would launch my biggest Project yet – one that I would not begin till January of 2009. This is how a Build-up works. It’s all the Small Steps we take to get to where we are today…even if we don’t know exactly where we may be going (at the start or from the start) or if we will get ‘there’ any time soon.
On Sunday, October 5, 2008, on a fluke just to see if I still ‘had IT,’ I entered the Reality TV Show ‘She’s Got The Look’ (the Chicago Portion of their Hunt). This ‘over 35+ Modeling Casting Call’ was recruiting here in Chicago for their new Season’s Finalists. Placing in the top 20 from a pool of 400 women really stroked my ego! Judge & Fashionista Robert Verdi (based in New York City) said he never saw ‘such hair as mine’ and jumped off the stage to try on my faux fur leopard coat since he could see I am a ‘Fun Sort of Gal.’
HISTORICALLY: In January of 2009 with Barack Obama taking office as President of the USA, followed by the 200TH Year Birthday of President Abraham Lincoln on February 9, 2009, major shifts were happening in America. Being inspired by this, I began writing:
SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature™
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race ©2009
After penning 28 Chapters and Scenes for SKiN, in August of 2009 I was told by a Producer that my Text sounded like ‘Children’s Performance Theatre’ – indeed a very nice compliment. At that point, I took ‘The Leap’ and taught myself how to write Screenplays. Thus, the Development of this Series (of Movies and Books both based on the Toys in my Private Collection) that dealt with eliminating Racism; dissolving the Mixed Signals and Messages we constantly are bombarded with; and getting to the Heart of what really matters – 3 Themes that demand our Attention – was launched.
In June, 2010, I was featured in FAST COMPANY Magazine on Page 30. The topic being covered was 1 of my most popular HOLIDATES® called National Splurge Day ©1994.
In July of 2010, 1 of the 3 Scripts I scored from August, 2009 to April of 2010 beat out 3,164 other Scripts in one of the top International Screenplay Competitions based in Hollywood, called Scriptapalooza.
In February of 2011, I started COUNTDOWN TO 60® that many of my Facebook Friends find is quite amusing. It’s a wake-up call to get more done every Day – because Time has an uncanny way of passing us by if we let it. As of today, I have 1 Day & 1 year left. I have always been a firm Believer that “The Best is yet to come,’ yet what it becomes is left up to us as Individuals. What we accomplish every day makes those days worthwhile.
Monday, July 25, 2011 marked my 21ST Year of being: ‘America’s Premier Eventologist’ & ‘The Premier Eventologist in The History of The World.’ I am also proud of the Literary Contribution I have made called:
Eventology®
The Art of Event-Making
Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith’s Campaigns For Humanity ©1990
that contains 2,000+ HOLIDATES TO CELEBRATE (falling in 37 different Categories).
In July of 2011, I received a Citation from the Southern Poverty Law Center (one of the nation’s largest ‘Teaching Tolerance’ Organizations based in Montgomery, Alabama) for the Endeavors that I am performing with The Scripts called:
SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature™

Spotlighting: iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009
The Scriptapalooza Intl Screenplay Competition’s Quarterfinalist Winner: 2010
(beating out 3,164 other Scripts)
And yes, it is those ageless TOYS that have become ‘The characTOYS® who speak to every one, everywhere, clear across our World no matter what AGE and/or SKiN Color you are.
QUOTES FOR ALL OF US BORN IN 1952:
“I can honestly say that 59 is the new 59…”
I’m happy I lived this long (considering many people do not) and that I carry with me Experiences, Thoughts & Philosophies no one else has; that have made me the Person I am today. Having this kind of acute mental and physical Health & Spirit allows me to carry on as I do…and doing as much as I can really makes those Days (and now Decades) as significant as they are.”
Quote of ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith
Monday, August 8, 2011 – 9:24 AM CST
Many people run and ruin their Life according to Patterns that they or others set for themselves. That does not apply to me. 59 here I come!
If you wish to interview me for your publication &/or program; hire me as a Staff Writer/Contributor for my Work with AFSEE®; or have questions re: any of the above referenced material and projects during my 59TH year, just leave your message here.
IN CLOSING: I don’t know why I’m even writing to you as I don’t feel like a Senior and/or Seniorita, but now on The Verge of 59, I feel good. As a role model for a Generation, it’s the best Way to be. And I wish you the same…
After all: "59 is the new 59. Just you wait and see!"

Sunday, August 7, 2011 - Day #7 of the Second Global Celebration of:
ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTERNATIONAL ©2010
is being staged for today. One-Quarter of this HOLIDATE ® is now complete, but new data, info and facts about ANTS and their Habits continue to be found and discovered.
Four (4) of these derived from:
http://www.rusticgirls.com/animals/bug-facts.html
are:
1. Slavery is not strictly a human condition. Amazon ANTS will steal larvae of other ants to be their slaves. They depend upon these slaves for their survival because Amazon ANTS are incapable of doing anything other than fight.
2. An ANT is capable of lifting fifty times its own weight and is capable pulling thirty times its own weight.
3. The most dangerous ANT in the world is the black bulldog ANT. It lives in Australia and has killed several human beings. When provoked, it stings and bites at the same time.
4. There are about a million ANTS per person. ANTS are very social animals and will live in colonies that can contain almost 500,000 ANTS.
Slavery, weight-lifting, danger & social networking are pertin-ANT ANT topics - just like they are for Humans. It’s amazing how many species are more similar than differ-ANT.

For some reason, I came up with an ANT-iferous® Quote yesterday on August 5, 2011 – 1:11 PM that seemed quite appropriate. It was:
“Picnics R not the same w/o 'em!”
‘Em’, of course, pertains to ANTS. This made me think of 2 Events that happen in Nature that most of us are not cogniz-ANT about and those are:
What happens to a parcel of ground that is thoroughly flooded out?
Are ANT Colonies ‘water-proof’ under all these huge flooded plains and/or puddles?
The same question could be asked about molten lava? If a volcano erupts and spews boiling magna down the mountain side and valley, how long does it take for the ANTS to come back out?
These are 2 dire Events that prevent a decent (decANT) Summer Picnic from taking place.
I’m sure these Questions are found online somewhere, as we explore the Intricacies and ANTricacies of:

August 5, 2011: Day 5 of the Second Global Celebration of:
ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTERNATIONAL ©2010
The Big Question is: Should I have placed: ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTERNATIONAL ©2010 in the Month of March since Ants have the tendency to ‘march?’ We don’t have a month called ‘Swarm’ so that’s out of the immediate picture.
It seems like that is a possible alternative, especially to those of us who live in the Southern Hemisphere. That seems to make sense.
In Chicago, IL USA, where I live there are lots of ANTS in ‘our Company’ in August. Plus, I liked the Alliteration of August/Ant/Appreciation. Furthermore, August is my annual birthday celebration & it’s mandatory that a chunk of ANT-eresting things should be accomplished before going back to school (for the kids). Those pointers are all is t-ANT-amount in my creative mind.
According to: Science Website at:
http://science.discovery.com/nerdabout/top-ten/bugs/bugs-09.html
Only 3 Types of Animals fight Battles in Formation and those are in alpha order, the way it should be:
ANTS, Crows & Humans
It appears that the similarities between the species gets ‘smaller’ every day, doesn’t it?

http://science.discovery.com/nerdabout/top-ten/bugs/bugs-09.html
Only 3 Types of Animals fight Battles in Formation and those are in alpha order, the way it should be:
ANTS, Crows & Humans
It appears that the similarities between the species gets ‘smaller’ every day, doesn’t it?

‘The Help’ by DreamWorks Studios. Does THE HELP ‘help’ or bash Civil Rights and/or Paid Servantry? On the Eve of its Release.
THIS IS MY PRE-REVIEW: THE HELP
This is SO Forrest Gumpy with ‘The Help’ characters sitting out on that park bench as Tom Hanks (portraying ‘Forrest Gump’) did back in 1994. I am looking forward to seeing ‘The Help’ because as the Creator of: SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature™ - How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race ©2009 (that has already won 2 awards and it is not even out on the market yet), I have a vested interest in the Topic. My Endeavor, SKiN™ has built a looming groundswell via my unique promotionals the last 2.5 years; therefore, it will be interesting to see how DreamWorks Studios portrays the Black & White Situation (that many of us we sweep under the rug – Persian or throw-rug as it depends on what a family can afford).
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT: We are now living in a very volatile era where civil rights may appear ‘civil’ on the outside with a ‘Black President and all,’ but the number of hate groups has never been this enormous, growing or pressing. Movies usually portray life as it should be…let’s hope a message is here that ‘HELPS’ (for lack of a better word) and shapes all our futures as my 7-part spec movie script & books do – no matter what SKiN tone we find ourselves in.
MY SUGGESTION: An acronym for HELP should be created to further advance the theme of this movie. BTW: The bottom line is: Forrest Gump is/was my favorite movie. Does ‘The Help’ have that kind of mesmerizing appeal to rank and rate up there with him?

August 4, 2011: Day 4 of the Second Global Celebration of:
ANT APPRECIATION MONTH INTERNATIONAL ©2010
Not many people know this. Regular people, that is, like me and you unless we have a passion and/or active interest in ANTS. Read the following outlined paragraph:
The ANTS’ relationships with non-ANTS consist of commandeering and suppression of pests, aeration of the soil, roles in ecological and biological control, performing as surgical sutures, use of our toxic venom in medicine, personalized preening services and in helping to harvest seeds for Human consumption.
The Internet is full of info on how resourceful ANTS are. So small - yet they do so much!
About 2.5 years ago, ANTS began inspiring me so much that I wrote:
iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009
that began as 1 word; then a 5-word sentence and is now, as of August 4, 2011:
2 Books and 2 Movie Scripts
and
an International Holidate®
that, in the best of all possible worlds could be animated by any of the movie-making greats as DreamWorks Animation, Tim Burton Studios and/or Disney Pixar.
It’s just too bad that ANTS really can’t be domesticated or trained. Imagine if they could – how much more they could do for us if we preferred being lazy like…oh, say: The Grasshopper.

is a return to The Internet to see what other ANT Facts can be discovered since Kids (of all ages) are usually partial and prone to these:
Direct from: http://bit.ly/dtj03L
We find that: The animal with the largest brain in proportion to its size is the ANT. They are known to be the smartest species of insects with about 250,000 brain cells.
That reminds me of the Quote: Never underestimate a person or other creature due to their Size. ANT-eresting for sure!

comes to us from ANN MAYO’s comment dated Saturday, July 30- 6:24 PM where she stated:
“I bet some ants get to ANTarctica in some one's pocket! You know, they are very resourceful dispersers.”
There’s a very important Message hidden there in MISS MAYO’s commANT, quite spiritual in Nature when you think about the Concept of Roaming and where it can take us to. Whether WE (as humans) walk, run, drive, bike, flyor scoot along on our Way, ANTS have ‘roamed’ and covered nearly every Square Inch on the Planet for 130,000,000 million years. That’s covering lots of ground, ground that was much different back in ‘their earlier Days of Evolution’ as compared to what is happening on our Granite Planet now.
So why don’t ANTS live in ANT-arctica? Possibly because the turf is frozen in place; there’s no place to burrow-down; no place to farm; no pANTries to invade; and no flowers to climb over – for starters. ANT-arctica is just a rough terrain for a little ANT – even for the bigger Varieties.
If ANTS could only talk, imagine what they’d have to tell us about where they’ve been; what they’ve seen and perhaps how WE can improve what WE now have that needs some critical help before it gets any later…
More on this incredible Species – THE ANT - tomorrow as WE celebrate:

Koopersmith's V8 Juice Challenge: Countdown to Completion: 1 Week
Chicago, IL USA
ASK’s ANNOUNCEMENT: According to my timer here in Chicago, there are only 7 more Days until our V8 Juice (www.V8Juice.com) Challenge is over. Amazing how those 100 days just seemed to zoom on by. I can tell I’ve lost (at least) 8 pounds – by substituting 3 10-ounce glasses of V8 Juice for something else that’s much less healthy. The Countdown is on…and it doesn’t necessarily have to stop on the 9TH…Drink Up!

that I invented to pay Tribute to the ANTS that make our Life as bountiful as it is. In order to celebrate, U R encouraged to go out and have Picnics in your backyard; front yard; roof-tops; park districts, out there in the woods – but make sure U have plenty of Extras & Fixings 4 THE ANTS who may drop by.
Thruout August of 2011, I will also be posting Fun-Strange-Weird ANT Facts with a little help from my Myrmecology Friends like the noted Dr. James C. Trager, who is an ANT Expert. And our first Fact of relev-ANTS is derived from http://bit.ly/ntwZib:
An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. A human brain has 10,000 million so a colony of 40,000 ants has collectively the same size brain as a human.

It's a no brainer. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander. Keep this in mind and please pass it along if you agree.
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2011
1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!
If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete.
Please keep it going...
