TODAY'S TRIVIA - - -
-----------------------
Is there any truth to the legend of Lady Godiva at all?
Are Godiva chocolates associated with the story of Lady
Godiva?
--------------
ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
What novelist was Francis Bellamy's first cousin?
Edward Bellamy, author of the American socialist utopian
novels, Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897), was the
first cousin of Francis Bellamy. The two cousins shared many
ideas.
Where does the phrase "peeping Tom" come from?
"Peeping Tom" comes from the legend of Lady Godiva and her
allegedly naked ride through the streets of Coventry in
England. According to the story, Lady Godiva made her famous
ride in an effort to persuade her husband to reduce taxes
that were crippling the poor townsfolk. She pleaded with him
to lower the taxes, and he said he would if she rode naked
through the town. She took him up on his dare. The grateful
townspeople stayed inside their houses during the ride, as a
courtesy to the Lady, and agreed not to peek. But one local
tailor (sometimes said to be a boy) peeked out his window
anyway and was either struck blind or (in other versions)
had his eyes gouged out.

Firefox sorts out security flaws
21 security flaws have been discovered in the popular
browser
Computer users are being urged to update the Firefox web
browser to close serious security holes in it.
Some of the security lapses in Mozilla software, which
Firefox is based on, could allow malicious hackers to hijack
computers.
There have been a total of 21 security flaws in various
versions of Firefox, according to security firm Secunia.
Users are urged to download the latest versions of all
Mozilla programs to protect their computers from attack.
The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (Cert) warn that
other Mozilla products including e-mail client, Thunderbird,
and the internet application, Seamonkey, may also be
affected.
More secure
The Mozilla Foundations have released a new version of
Firefox and Thunderbird which contain fixes to some of the
security flaws.
Programs like Firefox have been thought to be more secure
than other browsers such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer
because of its links to the open-source software community.
There have been more than 100 million downloads of the
Firefox software since its launch in 2004.
However, Internet Explorer is still the world's most popular
browser with over 80% of the market.
Last year both browsers were hit by the same security bug.
The new security alert is thought to be the first time that
so many vulnerabilities have been exposed in the Firefox
browser.
Users should make sure they have the most up-to-date version
of Firefox, which is version 1.5.0.2.
( A word of caution amongst readers. Not all reports you read
are correct. For example, there was virus warning that went through
the Mac world not long back that was proven to have been
started out of Redmond Washington. Microsoft is not the least
bit foreign to pulling such stunts. The point here is simply use
caution and don't let fear run your life. If Firefox has a problem you
can rest assured they will be the first to deal with it. Many news
stories are just hype started by those who have a vested interest
elsewhere.)

Fear is a terrible taskmaster, and unfortunately the master of most.
To be afraid of losing a job, losing a lover, losing ones possessions
is to give far too much power to fear.

Blood, Its Circulation And Its Pressure
PART 9 of 10
Use the machines in the pharmacies or supermarket, but stick to
one machine. The readings aren't the same, so don't compare the
readings. But here is a way to compare the readings "fairly".
Use the same machine, at about the same time of the day each
time you check it. Wear roughly the same type of clothing each
time. And don't pull up the shirtsleeve: it will block
circulation at the upper arm. To get a comparable reading you
might go every fourth day, at about noon to the local pharmacy
(where you also keep all your prescriptions and buy all your
"over the counter" products), and wear the nice cotton shirt
with light sweater. (Heavy sweatshirts will not allow proper
readings.) Take a few minutes to relax. Then put your arm, with
the shirtsleeve still buttoned and sweater in place, into the
arm holder, press the button, and wait for it to inflate.
Don't believe the reading? Do it again, BUT wait for at least
five minutes. Keep your composure or the measurement will be
even higher. When you repeat this, don't change anything. Get
another reading and then compare. Some food (salt) or beverages
(caffeine, alcohol), or medications can often change the
results. A "not so friendly drive" over might also have changed
the reading substantially. Did you know that a visit to the
doctors' office will really raise your blood pressure? It's a
proven fact and its called "white coat syndrome". Record your
readings and take the record to the doctor regularly. Pick up a
pamphlet from the pharmacist on how to interpret the readings or
ask them for help. The first time you get ready to take your
blood pressure reading, take the time to read the machine
instructions. I have often been challenged when I tell people to
keep the sleeves of their shirts smoothed and down. It tells you
on the machine! So read all the instructions. You will feel much
more confident in knowing you are doing this correctly. It's not
brain surgery, but it is very important to your health. It may
mean the difference between having to be on medication and
avoiding it. Try to always avoid drugs.they are chemicals that
your body has to neutralize somehow.

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET
<><><><>
THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began
and David Wylie, age 20, were selected by a
stranger in town to take a dangerous trip,
together. The idea was that each was to take
only the clothes on their back and go
anywhere in the world where the stranger
took them. They were to be left there to find
their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they
were. If they arrived back home, there
would be a million dollars waiting in each
of their bank accounts
The story deals with their adventures along
and leads to the only way they could survive.
The story leads to many friends, many adventures
and many places.
The Saga Of Pinehill, The Adventure
is now in bookstores. A controversial and powerful story.
It will change your life. Go to
http://www.the-pebble.com OR order yours from
your favorite bookstore. ISBN # 1-4137-4723-X
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

4Now for the story
She came flying at him like an animal charging on the
attack.
Maz had not left for one minute before Sonora was in
Billy's arms. She was kissing him and hugging him for all
her worth. An onlooker watching might easily have mistaken
her desire to make love for a desire to eat him. Her
movements appeared more on the cannibalistic side than on
the side of a lover seeking attention.
Billy was not only up for the attack, he partook with
vigor. So, to an onlooker, this was much like two cats
fighting over something they each wanted exclusively not
mutually.
The pent-up passions of many months of abstinence all
came to this point. Nothing, absolutely nothing, was going
to prevent the coupling that was under way.
Neither Billy nor Sonora cared if anyone was around.
There was no one, of course, but the couple would neither
have known or cared if there was. Their minds, hearts,
bodies and souls were for each other at this moment in time.
Everything else would have to wait.
Such is the experience of many newlyweds for their first
night together. And so it should be. In Billy's and Sonora's
case they had many opportunities before now, but chose to
wait until, by their standards, and by the world's
standards, sexual activity was acceptable. They well knew
that if they waited they would enjoy that mutual strength
and understanding that comes from the long and painful
pause.
This was their time.
It would not be too wise to write about the next three
days for it would be monotonously the same. Billy and Sonora
didn't come up for air for those whole three days.
Finally, on the fourth day, Sonora came out of the hut
scantily dressed, and stretched long and hard before the
morning sun.
"Billy, we have to do something else today. We haven't
done a thing but have each other for three solid days now!"
"So?"
With that Billy came after her. She giggled and laughed
and ran for all she was worth. Billy, however, had a longer
stride and he did catch her. He was some puffed out though.
These African girls know how to run and Sonora was no
exception.
"Come here you little pixie. You're just trying to stir
up trouble aren't you?"
Sonora laughed, squirmed in his arms, bit his ear lobe
and when Billy hollered "OUCH" and put his hand on his ear,
she was off again.
Billy laughed and the chase was on. Sonora ran behind
the hut and around it, with Billy close behind. She then
headed for the river and the beach. Once there she paused
momentarily to let Billy go by her and then she was off
again.
"You slippery little one, I'll get you yet." He laughed
as he was running. He wasn't far behind her and when she got
close to the hut she went behind it again.
This time Billy didn't follow. He went around the other
side. That surprised Sonora completely. She ran right into
his outstretched arms. He had her.
She screamed "B ILLY! Where did you come from?"
The pair of them rolled on the ground. They were
laughing so hard they were now almost powerless. This had
been fun, but neither one had the stamina to continue.
Billy leaned over her. "I love you Mrs. Hendricks."
She had not yet heard herself being referred to that
way. It stopped her for a moment. Then she answered, "I love
you, too, Mr. Hendricks."
They kissed and did all sorts of other things.
When they came up for air Sonora observed, "You know,
Billy, that was the first time I have been called Mrs.
Hendricks. I'm going to have to get used to it. It sounds
nice but it really makes one think about the new
relationship. I think it's wonderful."
Billy rolled over so he was now spread eagled flat on
his back in the sand. "I sure hope so because you got me for
life now. I heard you say 'I do'. Those were the most
fateful words you will ever utter."
She got up and sat on his stomach. "Not quite, Mister. I
said 'I do' to my Maker long before you and you shall not
ever take that place in my heart."
He reached up to her and stroked her cheek. "I know,
sweetheart. And don't ever think I want to be first in your
life. I consider it a privilege to be second. I hope you
think that way of me, too."
"I do, Billy. It's just that our emotions have had the
run of our lives here these last few days and I really
haven't paid too much attention to my Maker."
"That makes two of us, honey. That is okay. That is part
of what life is all about. It falls well within the system
so don't worry about it. I know your Maker comes first. So
does mine. Soon we will have had enough of this sex thing
and we can then get back to living. Isn't that awful? You'll
soon have enough of me?"
Billy laughed.
"I'll never have enough of you, Billy Hendricks." Sonora
leaned over to kiss him. That started another round of love
making and before they knew it the noon day sun was
overhead.
"You know, we better set up a bit of protection from the
sun. It gets as hot here as back home. I don't want you
burned to a cinder."
"Is that because you care about me or do you just want
me around to satisfy your animal needs." Sonora had a
twinkle in her eye.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Sabotage: Where does the word "sabotage" come from?
The word - which originally meant a willful destruction of
machinery by workmen in industrial disputes - is French and
is derived from sabot, the name of the French workmen's
wooden shoe. When looms were first introduced in France the
workmen of the mills objected to them and threw their wooden
shoes into the looms in order to put them out-of-order.

HA! HA! HA!
The scene was a tiny mountain village in a remote section of
West Virginia. An old mountaineer and his young wife were
getting a divorce in the local court. But custody of the
children was a problem.
The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge
that since she had brought the children into this world, she
should retain custody of them.
The old mountaineer also wanted custody of the children. The
judge asked for his side of the story and, after a long
moment of silence, the mountaineer slowly rose from his
chair and said, "Judge, when I put a quarter in a candy
machine and a candy bar comes out, does it belong to me or
the machine?"
