TODAY'S TRIVIA - - -
-----------------------
What is a "yellow dog contract"?
Where did the expression "red herring" originate?
--------------
ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
How big a tunnel can a mole dig in one night?
Moles work hard in their search for food! They are
very active tunnelers and can tunnel at a rate of 12 to
18 feet per hour. They eat mostly insects, but their
appetite is voracious, and they usually eat more than
half their weight in food every day. (Some even eat
100 percent of their weight each day!) The average
mole can tunnel about 20 yards in one night or day.
Where did the expression "white elephant" come from?
"White elephant," of course, refers to an object that you
no longer want or need, but which is too valuable to
simply throw out. Often, it's difficult to find someone who
wants your object and it becomes a burden, sometimes
even a financial burden. Where did this term originate?
From an apocryphal tale about the King of Siam (now
Thailand). REAL white elephants do exist. They're called
albino elephants and are pretty rare and valuable.
According to legend, white elephants were so rare that
anytime one was found in Siam it automatically was
considered a sacred animal and was given to the king.
The king made it unlawful to ride, neglect, abuse, or
kill a white elephant. He also devised a clever way to
deal with troublesome courtiers and others who
displeased him. He would GIVE them a white elephant.
Elephants were difficult and expensive to feed and
maintain and the cost of maintaining an elephant that
you COULDN'T put to work (under penalty of law) could
ruin a disfavored courtier. It's even said that the King of
Siam gave a white elephant to King Charles I at a time
when he was having money problems. The cost of
keeping it supposedly forced the Queen to put off her
annual trip to Bath.

Lots Of News Today!
by Ken Darby
I am always amazed at this internet thing, and technology.
It seems there is so much happening that one can
hardly keep up.
We all know the year 2003 was a good one for sales on
the internet. It appears it came out larger and bigger than
most experts thought. That's good.
Some of the things that are coming down the pipe at us
are interesting. For those of you who have cell phones,
the digital ones, you know, with the cameras that show
you pictures etc, well you can start looking for advertising
features to begin appearing on your phones too.
It seems commerce finds its way into everything,
doesn't it. I guess that's what keeps our economy a free
and vibrant one.
Some studies have been conducted to determine why
internet customers abandon purchases in mid act. It
seems the number one reason one will abandon a
purchase is when they are taken from screen to screen
where they are asked for too much information. They
feel they want to be able to buy just like they would in
a brick and mortar store, here's my money, don't
ask questions.
Now that's a thought for marketers to keep in mind.
You don't need a whole host of information from
your customer just so they can buy. Ask for nothing.
Even if you want them to sign up for a newsletter,
make it a free choice, an option.
And finally, here is a direct quote from Digital Marketing
that should be of interest to anyone wanting to keep
their name in front of their customers.
--------------------START QUOTE
The recently released Digital Marketing Dialog Survey,
sponsored by BtoB, the CMO Council and USA Today,
finds that new-customer lead generation is the top
purpose of companies engaged in digital marketing.
This motive, cited by 83% of respondents, outpaced
both brand awareness and recognition (68%) and
improved customer relationships (67%). 63% of marketing
and advertising executives in the survey see digital
marketing as having a high or very high level of strategic
importance within the organization. Moreover, more than
three-quarters of respondents said they planned to
increase their budget for digital marketing next year.
----------------END QUOTE
So the internet appears to have come of age. The
entire world of commerce is jumping in to seek their
piece of the pie, or your dollar. From now on we will
begin to see highly professional and innovative
marketing campaigns and changes. I look forward to
our future.
theNEWSSHOP is doing very well. It seems our clients
can "see" the real benefit of being in front of their
customers often. Our Internet Marketing Package allows
a business to put a salesman in front of their customers
every week. Wow! What a powerful method of reaching
your buying public.

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - -
Questions and Responses
What is HDL?
My Response
I have two options to answer this. I could just give a brief
definition and maybe that's all that was requested. But
because this is such an important subject, I decided to take
a bit more liberty and make some comments. HDL stands
for "high-density lipoprotein cholesterol". You also need
to know about LDL (low density), and about Triglycerides.
Here is a good site to explain all these terms and why
you need to know about them.
http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/
lipid/glance.html
And this is a site to take a risk assessment.
http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?
identifier=3003500
Cholesterol is a necessary part of metabolism. It is widely
distributed in the nerve tissues of the brain and spinal cord,
and also in the liver, kidneys and adrenal glands.
Cholesterol can be synthesized (to be formed from other
lesser parts) in the liver and is a normal ingredient of bile.
Hypercholesterolemia is the condition you want to avoid.
It is the presence of high levels of lipids (fats)in the blood
stream. Keep an eye on the research being done in this
area. We are finding out from previous studies, now
confirmed, that there are relatively simple, ways to correct
these levels. The research to be watched for is related to
Homocysteine and folic acid issues.

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.
Upon their safe return there was a million dollars
waiting in their bank account for them. If one did not
make it that money would go to the survivor. If neither
made it the money would go to their families.
The story deals with their adventures along the way
and leads into the only way they could survive. That was
for Eloise to learn higher law and commit her life to
that end. Along the way she learns how to perform
many a miracle.
The story leads to many friends, many adventures
and many places. As you read on, enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

----------------------------------------
"Don't think that Sandra. Your Maker did not do the
choosing. You did. By all your thoughts up to now you
have gradually brought yourself to a point where you
are permitted to see how to live by higher law. No one
forced you. You made all those decisions by yourself.
Now you must decide whether you shall proceed
or not." said Riata, answering Sandra's thoughts.
"The way you talk it seems as if I have everything
backwards." said Sandra.
"That's the way it looks. There are things that are completely
obvious once you see them. Yet before that time one has
a tendency to think nearly opposite. There is a veil over
the truth. It is called simplicity. Most think the world very
complex, and the thought one could have the power of
their Maker working for them seems too remote to be
real, so most just stumble from one thing to another until
they die. Yet some are like you where they are brought,
by their own thinking, to a point where they can see.
From that time on it requires commitment, without which
one goes back to the path of stumbling." said Riata.
"You are trying to tell me that Sadhu was right all along,
that what he was saying to me was his way of teaching
me things. I did just what you said. I thought those things
so remote I best keep my feet on the ground here." said
Sandra.
"Sure you thought that. It was a perfectly natural way to
go for someone who had not witnessed or been too
exposed to higher law. Today, however, you have seen
many instances of what higher law can do for you. Both
Sadhu and I say it is for all men. They need only commit
to living by these thoughts. Yet we cannot force you or
anyone else to make that commitment. It is you who must
make your choice." responded Riata.
A crack of lightning hit a tree not far away, and the noise
was near deafening. Sandra jumped.
"If I can live by higher law, then how do I do that?" asked
Sandra.
"Sit in a comfortable position, one you can hold for a
long time. Sit still, calm your body and your mind. Let
not your mind continue the 'talking' that goes on within
it. Stop 'thinking'. 'Look', 'See'. Know that your Maker
lives inside you. 'Look' for your Maker. Soon, maybe
right away, maybe days, maybe years, depending on
your commitment to yourself, you will 'See'. A 'KNOWING'
will come over you and you must follow that path. Take
the time to meditate like this every day until you have
arrived. Learn to listen to what you are being told. It will
not be with words. It will be a 'knowing' that is in answer
to a question you posed. Learn to work with that 'knowing'
and you shall have all the answers you need. You are
now long past the point where outside literature or
communication can teach. Now you must do all your
learning from inside." answered Riata.
"What do you mean stop thinking?" asked Sandra.
"Sandra, even to you it must be obvious that the mind
that created a problem cannot see its way out. It takes
something beyond that mind to solve that problem. You,
here, now, know only the things of the material world, and
your mental world. You live in what you call your conscious
mind. Now you are being asked to go beyond that into a
realm where you have never been. That means you are
about to come upon new knowledge. It is in a realm men
refer to as spiritual. It is part of man and always has been.
You cannot live in this realm with the thoughts and thinking
of a lower realm, they are baggage you cannot take with
you. So I ask you to stop your 'thinking', stop the 'talking'
to yourself within your own mind. Stop thinking of things
as good or bad, or for that matter stop putting any adjective
to them. Nothing is good or bad, right or wrong, it just IS.
Look on things without pronouncing judgment upon them.
Accept them as they are and think not they are good or bad.
In your thinking, BE. Don't talk to yourself about things. 'Look',
'See' and 'BE'. That is the state in which you shall recognize
your Maker." said Riata.
The storm seemed to be diminishing. Out in front of the
dry area where Riata had created the warm zone, they
could see the winds still blowing and about six inches
of snow had fallen. Sandra's site was dry and warm, and
still lit.
"I am amazed. Here I sit on a mountain top, nearly having
killed myself, and in the middle of all this I find you. Or
rather you found me." said Sandra.
"When you are at home, Sandra, you are too busy to look
or to listen. Your Maker has been trying for years to be
heard, and you have been too busy to listen. Here there
are no phones, nothing is the same as in your regular life.
Here you can see, if you want." said Riata.

OUR BUSINESS OBSERVATIONS
Since beginning the Project 2003 item, many of you have
become interested in following what we are doing in our
business.
It is a way of seeing some of the good things and not so good
things that happen to us along the way.
While it may not replicate your story, neither may it be replicated
by you, it does keep you updated on some of the trials and
tribulations of doing business on the internet.
We thought we would keep it up.

TODAY'S REPORT:
I am impressed even more today with our new sales girl. She
is making the calls and finding customers receptive. I think
this gal will turn our ten to fifteen sales per month. That's not
bad. At that rate she will be twenty months or less to having
her house, car, and all expenses paid, plus she will be
earning a six figure income. Going from zero to that level of
income in that short time is pretty fantastic.

THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!
"Time management is a vehicle to take you from
wherever you are to wherever you want to go."
---- Brian Tracy
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
HA! HA! HA!
Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from
the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to God's
kids. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing he said was, "Don't."
"Don't what?" Adam replied. "Don't eat the forbidden fruit," God
said. Forbidden fruit? We got forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve...we got
forbidden fruit!"
"No way!"
"Way!"
"Don't eat that fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so!" said God (wondering why
he hadn't stopped after making the elephants). A few minutes
later God saw his kids having an apple break and was angry.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh, " Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
"I dunno" Eve answered.
"She started it!" Adam said.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"DID NOT!"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that
Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern
was set and it has never changed. If God had trouble handling
children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for
you?
Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a
headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two and
keep away from children.
