How many Americans died in the American Revolution?
Unofficial studies of field reports suggest that about 4,500
men were battlefield casualties and more than 6,000 were
injured. Illness also claimed a lot of lives.
When did "The Star-Spangled Banner" become the US national
anthem?
The US Congress adopted the song as the national anthem in
1931 (following more than two decades of bills and joint
resolutions). Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics in 1814,
during the War of 1812. The melody is taken from an
eighteenth-century drinking song called "To Anacreon in
Heaven." Imagine hitting those high notes once you've put
away a few beers!

Here's To Think On ...

Productivity Comes Because You KNOW!
A man walks into an insurance office and asks for a job.
"Sorry, we don't need anyone..." they replied. "You can't
afford not to hire me. I can sell anyone anything anytime!"
"Well, we have two prospects that no one has been able to
sell. If you can sell just one, then you have a job."
He was gone about two hours and returned and handed them two
checks, one for $25,000 and another for $50, 000.
"How in the world did you do that?" they asked. "I told you
I'm the worlds best salesman, I can sell anyone anything,
anytime!"
"Did you get a urine sample?" they asked him. "What's that?"
he asked. "Well, if you sell a policy over $20,000 the
company requires a urine sample. Now take these two bottles
and go back and get urine samples."
He was gone about 8 hours and the office was about to close,
when in he walks in with two five gallon buckets, one in
each hand. He sets the buckets down and reaches in his shirt
pocket and produces two bottles of urine and sets them on
the desk and says, "Here's Mr. Jone's and this one is Mrs.
Johnson's."
"That's good," they said, "but what's in those two buckets?"
"Well, I passed by the school house and they were having a
state teachers convention - so I stopped and sold them a
group policy!"
I love jokes like this. Inside the "funny" lies truth one
doesn't often see. This joke is a winner beyond winners for
it tells the complete secret for any success a person wants
in life.
The salesman in the joke is no particular whiz at selling.
Indeed he is no different than you or I, but for one thing.
He clearly doesn't know his product any better than some of
the veteran insurance salesmen. He clearly doesn't know
company policy.
Actually there is only one thing he knows. He knows he can
sell. That is all he needs to know to be as successful as he
wants.
So, too, with you. Whatever it is you are doing in life, the
very instant you KNOW you can do it, it is done.
Every self improvement book on the market, even mine, deals
with just that one point. It does not matter how many pages
are in the book. It does not matter who wrote the book. It
does not matter from what angle they come at the point, the
point is still only one and always the same. The moment you
KNOW you can do it, it is done.
And guess what? That is completely under your own control.
It does not take a lot of study. It does not take any
miraculous working toward your goal. It does not take any
supernatural effort or an amount of time that is years, even
months. It takes only one thing - - - -
MAKE A DECISION TO BE SUCCESSFUL!
It doesn't matter how you come by that decision. It might be
because you are sick and tired of having nothing. It might
be you are sick and tired of being pushed around. It might
be you are sick and tired of others always coming up with
more or better.
But know for absolute certain - when you make up your mind
to be successful or to gain an objective, when that decision
is so absolute it becomes a fact in your mind, it will
appear very quickly.
The secret, the method, the fact is always - - -
KNOW, IN YOUR MIND, IT IS DONE AND IT SHALL BE.
Study all the successful people you know and somewhere you
will come to the same conclusion. Each and everyone KNEW in
advance they would be successful at what they were doing.
All the things they have around them are merely symbols
identifying their belief system.

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - -
by Karin Henderson
Having Trouble Swallowing All Your Pills?
There is a trick to everything, isn't there?
And swallowing pills or tablets, or medicine is just the
same. And some of those are pretty large "challenges" to
swallow. However, they must be taken and on a regular basis.
So you will have to find ways that work for you.
So first tell yourself that these will help - whatever your
problem is. Otherwise you won't take them. The doctors call
that "non-compliance".
So here are a few ideas to help the medicine go down.
Stand up to take them if at all possible. It elongates the
esophagus (throat) and lets the pill slide down in a
straight line. Next, use cool liquid: not warm. Warm fluids
will start the dissolution process too soon. (You'll agree
if you have ever taken asa with warm water!)
Take the pills individually. Yes, even if you have many,
many of them. It makes it much easier. And they won't "bunch
up" in the throat. (You might take some tiny ones together.)
I had one person take all 10 of the ones we recommend for
Meniere's, and he upchucked them 10 minutes later. It NEVER
occurred to me to tell him not to take them altogether!
Allow the pill to "float" on the liquid as it goes down your
throat. In other words, don't rush to swallow, but keep your
head straight and don't rush.
Next keep your head straight. Don't tilt it way back. That
will cause you to gag, and the pill won't go down easily.
Liquids like milk and tomato juice help the pills to "slide
down" much more than liquids such as cranberry juice or
water.

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 . . . . . . .

"No, Mom," said Billy, "let's wait until we get news on
the whole message. We don't want to put up a hut without
Siepta has had a chance to get the message out and around.
We should give him his time."
"You're right, Billy. You're right. If we went ahead and
did that now he would be disappointed. He would think we are
taking his authority away from him. It is best to respect
him and he will work with you. Good thinking." Kenyata was
glad Billy was a level headed one.
The next two days the kids took walks, helped out around
the hut and generally just spent time together.
When it was time to go see Siepta they walked over there
hand in hand. He was waiting for them and could see them
coming through nearly half the village.
"Good day, Siepta. My Mom sent over this meat for you.
She said it is your favorite." Sonora handed him the meat.
Siepta took the meat, "Sit".
"Have you spoken with the elders?"
"They want to meet this man, Billy. They want to see
that he will provide water for guests. We don't want well to
run dry. We meet day after tomorrow at high sun. We meet at
lodge house."
"That would be fine, Siepta. Thank you very much." Billy
spoke up before Sonora could answer.
They rose and, hand in hand, walked away.
"This is silly. They know I can give them water."
"Yes, honey, but they don't know I can. That is what
this is all about. They want to see. We shall have our
permission, but we shall wait until we can have it by
general consensus, not arbitrary."
"Oh, I know you're right. Sometimes these people seem so
backward to me. Some appear to have such a long way to go to
get back to their Maker."
"It would seem, but ours is not to judge. What
difference does a couple days make? We will be just fine."
They reported back to Kenyata and Mombudo, who, though
frustrated by the decision, were not surprised.
"Billy handled it just right, Mom. We will have our
permission, but the elders want to see him first."
At noon on the appointed day Billy and Sonora headed for
the lodge house. There was a man at the door to greet them.
He prevented Sonora from entering. The council had decided
they wanted to see Billy alone. They wanted no influence
from Sonora, whose powers they felt might manifest water,
rather than Billy. Sonora was disappointed, yet she
understood.
Billy was led through the darkness of the interior of
the lodge. He was ushered to sit in front of a dozen men,
most of them around the age of 50. Each had a torch burning
beside him. That was the only light in the building.
Billy sat as he was told.
"This council has been told you wish to join our
village. Why?"
"Sir" Billy addressed the elder who had asked him the
question, "I wish to marry the woman Sonora. She prefers to
live in this village rather than living somewhere else I
might take her. We therefore have asked permission of this
wise council that we might set up a hut of our own. Further,
we have asked the headman to marry us and we have asked
permission to have many guests at our wedding."
"Why you not take this woman to where you come from?"
"I come from the United States of America. There our way
of life is much different than your way of life here. It
would be difficult for the woman Sonora to get used to it.
If I were to move here it is much easier for me to adapt. I
come from the same house as Mr. Sam Henry the man you know
has helped this village in the past."
"Are you Mr. Sam's son?"
"Strictly speaking, sirs, no. A long time ago I was lost
and Mr. and Mrs. Sam took me in and looked after me. I lived
with them for many years. It is they who taught me to live
by higher law. It is an honor for me to be from that
house."
"Miss Sonora say you make sure your guests have own
water. They will not touch the well."
"Sirs, I say this with respect, the water in the village
well will never run out no matter how many people are here.
Miss Sonora and I will make certain of that. I say this
because you truly need not worry that the well will run dry.
However, the real question you asked me is, will they bring
their own water? The answer is no, they will not. Each guest
we want at our wedding, lives by higher law. Each can
manifest their own water as they need or want it."
"What you mean 'manifest'?"
"It means we are able to call water from the heavens.
Just as that container of water is in front of each of you,
so, too, can each of our guests produce water at will."
There was murmuring amongst the elders. They had not
seen the water being placed in front of them.
"I caused the water to be there. If you drink it you
will find it cool and refreshing. Please drink."
Each elder lifted the water to their lips and sipped.
"You made this water?"
"I caused the water to be there. I used laws of the
universe any man can use. Yes."
"Water good. Can you do this for other things?"
"Why not eat the apple I have placed in front of you? I
know this is fruit you do not see here. It is fruit that
grows where I live. Try it. You will find it juicy and
sweet."
The elders each took a bite from the apple that was in
front of them. Some liked the fruit and others were not
sure.
"You say all men can do this? You are not a magician?"

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Hang Fire: What is the reason a delayed action is said to
"Hang fire"?
It's because a flintlock gun does not always go off
immediately. Thought the spark has been set, the powder in
the pan may fizz for a while before exploding the charge
behind the shot.

Oh, The Things Children Say...
When my daughter, Brittany, was 4 or 5, she was having some
"growing pains" in her legs and needed to take some aspirin.
She had the bottle and was trying in vain to get it open
while I changed her baby sister's diaper. I saw her
frustration and explained that it was a childproof cap and I
would have to open it when I finished. Eyes wide with
wonder, Brittany asked, "How does it know it's me?" --
