What is "mashed potatoes snow"?
Is it true that no two snowflakes are alike?
--------------
ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
Is a black eye a bruise?
Yes, and the black eye really isn't black. Because the skin
beneath the eyes is thinner than elsewhere on the body,
the blood is more visible and the bruise appears worse.
Is it true that a "white Christmas" is more rare these days?
It is true in the United States, especially the Eastern United
States. Researchers recently found that the number of snowy
days during the Christmas season (November 25 - December 25)
in the United States has been diminishing since 1948.

Trying to keep thePEBBLE out of the clutches of your
spam filters is almost an impossible job. It is like chasing
moonbeams. Every spam filter has a different set of
qualifiers. I have decided I will not chase them.
thePEBBLE has been, is and will continue to be a
highly honorable publication dedicated to serving
our readers. There is no logical reason spam filters
cull it out of your mail, except for the odd word here
or there in an ad, or in a story or article. That is why
I have put thePEBBLE online, to serve those of you who
loyally follow the publication, especially The Saga Of
Pinehill.
I will continue to publish thePEBBLE daily and email
it to you. However, if your spam filter eats it, then you
can read it online.
Please note you can read thePEBBLE anytime you wish
by going to our web site and clicking on

Thank you for your very loyal support.

Eight Simple Ways To Use
Promotional Products Online
by Nathan C. Allen
With the increase competition on the Internet, it can be
hard to find ways to make your company seem different
from everyone else. One thing I believe Internet marketers
are failing to utilize correctly is promotional products.
Promotion products are every day items that are printed
with your company logo, slogan, web site address, or any
other message you want to promote. The first thing that
comes to most people?s minds are printed t-shirts? but
there are many other items you can use to make your
company stand out from the crowd.
The following are eight simple ways you can use
promotional products on the Internet.
Promote Your Company's Website
This is the first thing that comes to most people?s minds
when they think of how they should use promotional
products. But some people over look this. Every item you
choose to promote your business should include your
web site address on it.
Find Promotional Items That Fit Your Niche
You can always find certain items that will compliment
your type of business - items that you know your customers
will use often! For Example: If you sell bicycles, it would
be a good idea to include a free water bottle that has
your logo on it every time someone purchases a bicycle.
If you have an online drug store, you could give away
pill organizers with your sites name and web address
printed on them.
Free Contests and Drawings
A great way to get more people to sign up for your
newsletter is to hold monthly, weekly, or daily contest
drawings. The winner of the drawing would receive a
promotional product with your URL on it. Since everyone
loves to win stuff, more people would be willing to give
you their email address. And if you make the product
something that relates to your business, the people
who sign up are more likely to be targeted.
Motivate Customer to Buy More
You can use promotional products to entice your
customers to buy more products than they normally
would have. How? By bundling multiple products a
long with a promotional item. For example, instead
of your customer buying 1 ebook, you also offer
them a package deal of two ebooks and a free
promotional item.
The promotional product can even be something
related to the products you?re bundling it with. If you?
re selling weight loss information, why not use a ?
step counter as a bonus? If you?re selling cookbooks,
offer an apron. There are hundreds of products that
you can put your logo on? find one that compliments
your products!
Reward Your Best Affiliates
Consider thanking your top affiliates by giving them
a promotional product. This shows them that you truly
appreciate the fact that they promote your products.
You can send gifts to your affiliate partners when
they reach a certain goal, or you can give gifts to
your top affiliates during the holidays. By rewarding
your affiliates, you build a stronger relationship with
them. They will thank you by continuing to promote
your business.
Thank Your Loyal Customers
Just like thanking your top affiliates, you should also
consider thanking loyal customers. You can express
gratitude to customers that repeatedly by your products,
customers who buy your high-ticket items, or both!
Promotional items remind your clients that the
relationship you share with them is important to you.
Create a Competitive Advantage
Because of increased competition, it's getting tougher
than ever to compete online. You can use promotional
items as a way to show your customers that you are
different than your competitors. Instead of appearing
as ?just another company?, you can demonstrate that
you are unique. When someone receives a promotional
item from you they are more likely to remember you
over your competition.
Promote a New Product
If you are launching a new product, you can capture
your audience attention and publicize it by using
promotional items. At the very least, you should send
a promotional item to your top customers when a new
product comes out. You might also want to consider
sending items to your top affiliates too if you have a
new product they can promote for you.
My goal is to get you to think of new ways to use
promotional products. I hope you will implement some
of the ideas I have laid out here and also brain storm
different ways to use them. If used correctly, these
little trinkets can help you say ahead of your
competitors!

Reclaiming Your Power.
A Powerful De-Stressor!
PART 5 of 5
What does that actually mean? In your contemplation, you
come up with thoughts and ideas and things YOU want to
do, and if you go home and ask your spouse if they too
would like to do those things, chances are they would not.
So is it wrong to want something your spouse doesn't want
to do? NO! You are not your spouse, and here's an
important point. Your spouse should also have the chance
to do this exercise alone! And don't be afraid they will find
things they want to do without you. It's normal and it could
be the start of another human being reclaiming their power.
That's a very worthy thing. If we return to the beginning
of this message you will recall my son's less than healthy
reaction to a series of traffic incidents. You may ask how
did I reacted, by being in the passenger seat. Except for
discovering that the brakes on the passenger side don't
work at all, I felt fine. I had made an irrevocable,
non-negotiable decision never to give away my power
consciously! I knew my life wasn't in any danger as he
is an excellent driver. So I was relaxed and an interested
bystander... and somewhat amused. Now that you are
aware of power and it's power, prepare to be in control. It
won't be an easy or quick journey. People don't really
want you to have a say in what goes on: it upsets the
status quo. But if you do "go for it', you will find peace
and a new confident personality. If this kind of journey of
discovery interests you at all,, why not plan to do this
exercise regularly. Set aside weekly, or bi-weekly, or
even monthly meetings with your self. Once you become
proactive, you will see many people step out of your
path. The stress is reduced and your life takes on
purpose and direction. In the past, I have mentioned
the free article, "Power Pause" by John Harricharan. It
has transformed many lives.

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.
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

His daughter helped in spite of the fact she
had been shot by each side. There was love in the
air and all calmed to await the service of the
doctor and his aids.
The confrontation was over. That did not mean
Sam's and Billy's work was over. They well knew
their mission was involving more work than this.
They walked into the doctor's house and
rendered themselves angelic like, with a light
shining around them. "This day you have learned
that hatred begets hatred, love begets love. You
also saw how your evil intentions have come back
to hurt you. This day you should know that only
death can come from this foolish behavior. The
doctor has told you for years to forget your
hatred and learn to love one another. Instead you
prefer to go out and kill his daughter. Is that
something of which you are proud? Know that from
this day every thought you have toward harming
another person that thought shall cause you
immense pain in your groin. Only when you learn to
love your fellow man shall you be free of that
pain. Take up the gun against any man and you
shall have pain you cannot endure."
With that Sam and Billy vanished. The made
themselves invisible.
The words that Sam spoke reverberated off the
walls and into the heads of the wounded with such
force as to have them remember always. There was
not much change in mood or action right there in
the room, but the seed had been planted.
Sam and Billy waited around outside, sitting
in the shade of the house, until the tending of
the wounded was finished. As each fighter had his
wounds cleansed and bandaged they would leave and
go home. Most of them had bandages on their heads
which they would take home and wear as badges of
honor. Yet, inside, they knew they were done. They
knew they would never again take up arms against
their neighbor. A few of them had already
experienced pain in the groin even from only
thinking thoughts mixed with hatred.
Finally the doctor and his daughter came out
and stood in the shade with Sam and Billy. "Thank
you for saving my daughter. She is precious to me.
You have changed her. What did you do?"
Putting his hands together as in prayer and
bowing to the doctor Sam then explained he did
nothing. What happened was that his daughter has a
pure heart, a loving heart. The moment she
realized what was happening to her she suddenly
knew that all the thoughts she had been having
about Mastership were right. She decided right
then and there she could and would live by higher
law. It was a sudden realization she, too, was a
Master.
She smiled as she listened to Sam explain.
Although it is forbidden in India for a man to
touch a woman in public, Sam walked up to her and
put his arms around her in a hug and whispered
"Welcome" into her ear. Billy did the same.
"Father, these men have come all the way from
North America just to save me from death this day.
They left what they were doing because they heard
my screams. Then they stopped the fighting and
made me whole once more. In doing so they have
shown me that I, too, can live by higher law.
These men are to be respected. As they have come
from so far to aid us, it is now incumbent upon me
to do likewise where I can aid mankind. I welcome
that job. Yet it is clear to me I must not
interfere with men's lives. The men we just
attended bear their wounds because they wanted to
kill their fellow man. Today they will wear their
wounds as a badge of honor. Tomorrow they will
learn it is a mark of their evil thoughts. They
will learn to be ashamed of their scars because
they represent all the bad thoughts these men have
had toward their fellow man. Should they continue
they will encounter the pain they were told about.
They will spread the news. Maybe we shall be safe
from war with guns here for a while."
"I do not understand all this. I am happy you
are with me. I am happy these men have come but I
do not understand it."
"That is all right Daddy. You do not have to
understand it. I will speak with you on the law
and we shall have many days ahead where we can sit
and talk together. These men represent love and
the power thereof."
"May I offer you some tea?" The doctor was now
coming out of his pensive mind set and became the
host.
"Yes, that would be nice. I would like that.
How about you Billy?"
"Yes, please."
"Ranni" said Sam, "may we speak of the law
with you while your Father is gathering tea?"
"No, Mr.Sam. I must help my Father. We may
speak of these things while we have tea. My Father
would like to hear them too." With that she was
away, following her Father to get the tea.

TODAY'S REPORT:
While not the conclusion of a great deal of work I've done
in the last while, I did, this day, mail out a articles to great
many newspapers and other media. I have many more I must
include in my database but this is a fine start. A while back
I spoke to you about a book on how to get into the news,
radio, T.V etc. That book contained many good tips on
things I should do for this project. As a result of the tips
received I, yesterday, added some 1500 newspapers
to my mailing list. If any of you want to get that book and
read it you may do so by going to http://www.deg.com/
P.S. I am not an affiliate here. I make no money on this
recommendation. I offer it only because it was a help to me.

HA! HA! HA!
It was the first day of school. As the principal made his
rounds, he heard a terrible commotion coming from one
of the classrooms. He rushed in and spotted one boy,
taller than the others, who seemed to be making the most
noise. He seized the lad, dragged him to the hall, and told
him to wait there until he was excused. Returning to the
classroom, the principal restored order and lectured the
class for half an hour about the importance of good
behavior. Now," he said," are there any questions?
"One girl stood up timidly. "Please sir," she asked, "May
we have our teacher back?"
"Where is exactly is your teacher?"
"He's in the hall, sir."
