Is it true, as in the film, that Frank Abagnale Jr. has
become friends with the FBI agent assigned to catch him?
Yes. Just like in the movie, the FBI agent and the
con man became friends. Abagnale reported in a
recent interview that he talks on the phone with the
agent all the time and that the agent "has watched
my children grow up."
Are a jackass and a donkey the same thing?
Yes, if you're talking about animals. An ass, a donkey,
and a burro are all names for the same creature - an equine
mammal smaller than a horse and having long ears.
"Jackass" or "jack" is used when you are referring to a
male ass. The female ass is called a "jennet" or "jenny"
(yes, not "jillass"). Burro is a name Spanish in origin and
more commonly refers, at least in the US, to the smaller
sized asses common to Mexico.

STRANGE BITS AND PIECES!
The abbreviation Xmas for the word Christmas is of Greek
origin. Since the word for Christ in the greek langauge is
Xristos, which starts with the letter "X," they started
putting the X in place of Christ and came up with the short
form for the word Christmas.

My, How We Assume Things!
by Ken Darby
An overweight blonde consulted her doctor for advice.
The doctor advised that she run 10 miles a day for
30 days. This, he promised, would help her lose as
much as twenty pounds.
The blonde follows the doctor's advice, and, after
thirty days, she was pleased to find that she'd indeed
lost twenty pounds.
She phoned the doctor and thanked him for the
wonderful advice which produced such effective
results. At the end of the conversation, however, she
asked one last question:
"How do I get home, since I am now 300 miles away?"
I'm sure the doctor in the joke above assumed his patient
had sense enough to run five miles out and five miles back.
Who in their right mind would do otherwise, right?
Yet this little joke points out a human condition that often
gets us into trouble. It shows how we, like the doctor,
make assumptions that may not be correct.
So often we get to where we want something so bad we
picture that in our minds and, before we know it we
assume it will happen. That might ultimately be the
condition we want, but we want to KNOW, not assume.
It is good to look into things to find why things work. Once
having done that your assumptions will either be based
on knowledge or you will avoid making the assumption.
It's worth thinking about.
How many times have your assumptions left you hanging
high and dry? How many times have your assumptions
failed you.
It is particularly important in your communications.
Whether the spoken word or in writing, you can ill afford
to assume the listener or the reader thinks like you do.
You must not make assumptions here. You must be clear.
Having taught graphics courses at several technical
schools and universities I learned early that those who
were in class came from assorted backgrounds and with
different levels of knowledge. It was always a good idea
to begin the lessons with the basics. That way everyone
in the class started on the same plateau and progressed
well.
If the communication was above their heads, but, of
course, well understood by you, then the only result
will be that you lose your listener. You don't make
sales that way.
Keep your assumptions out of the picture. Always
communicate at the lowest common denominator level.
Only step up your communication when you are
abundantly certain your listening or reading audience
will understand. Otherwise, keep it simple.
Never lose sight of your objective. What is the reason
for your communicating in the first place? Always pursue
your communication to this end. Never make assumptions
that you will get what you are after until it actually
materializes. Making assumptions will usually get the
mission lost, no results, or results you would have
avoided had you based your assumption on knowledge.

COMPUTER TIPS - - -
-------------------------
"What's the difference between Save
and Save As?"
When you create a brand new document and click
on the "Save" button on your Standard Toolbar, you
will be presented with the "Save As" dialog box
because Word wants to know three things:
1. Where do you want to save it?
2. What do you want to name it?
3. What file type do you want it to be?
However, once you have saved it once, clicking on that same
button no longer gives you these choices. Why? Because Word
assumes you do not want to make those three choices again.
Word assumes you simply want to update the original copy by
overwriting it with this new version of the same file. If,
in fact, you DO want to either put a new copy in a new
location, or create a new copy with a new name, or change
the file type, you must go to the File menu and choose
"Save As".
So, if you do not want to overwrite the existing file, but instead
want to create another copy with a different name or in a
different location or as a different file type, you must go to
the File menu and choose "Save As".
When you choose File and then Save As, you can use the
dropdown box at the top of the Save As dialog box, which
says "Save In", to select the location where you want to put
your new copy. You can also change the name of your
new copy in the "File name" box and save it either in a new
location or in the same location as the original.
Let's look at some of these choices:
1. The first one is obvious. It simply says "Word Document",
which is the format you would choose if you want this file to
be opened by Word or some other compatible word processor.
2. The next choice is "Web Page" This will save your
file in a format that is viewable through a web browser
and can be added to any
existing website or become a website all on its own.
3. The next choice is "Document Template" which allows you to
save this file as a template which can be used in place of a
plain blank document when you want to create a new document
with these particular settings.
4. Other choices you have in this dropdown list include various
plain text options, formats that are compatible with older
versions of Word, Corel WordPerfect types, formats for a Mac
computer, and a format that is compatible with Microsoft
Works. The type you choose will determine what program will
open the file, so make your choices based on this.
The main thing to remember
is that "Save" will simply overwrite your existing file with
this new copy, whereas "Save As" will give you the options
discussed above.

Fats: The Good And The Not So Good
PART 3 of 8 (References will be at the
end of PART 8)
If You Are Confused About The Kinds Fats
That You Should Eat...Or Stay Away From,
This Information May Help.
Sources of fats that lead to heart disease (i.e., saturated fats,
trans-fatty acids) butter, whole milk products, red meat, pork,
margarine, and some fast foods. (Undesirable)...
Legumes soy, pinto beans, nuts (particularly walnuts)
(Desirable)...seeds, leeks, and purslane: (I couldn't find a
definition that I felt fit this concept.) (Desirable)...Vegetable
oils e.g., canola, flaxseed, and soybean. (Desirable)(There
is quite a bit of debate about the desirability of canola
oil.)...Fish: highest in omega-3 PUFAs and include
mackerel, Atlantic herring, albacore tuna, chinook
salmon, coho salmon, Greenland halibut, rainbow trout,
and Atlantic cod. (Desirable)
Dr. Bannock's Article: SOME FATS PROTECT THE HEART www.humannutrition.com
Dr Laz Bannock - 12th October 2001. Omega-3 fatty acids
from fish may be as effective as cholesterol-lowering drugs
at reducing risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). According
to a review published this week in the Archives of Internal
Medicine,(Ref 1) evidence from recent clinical trials in patients
with CHD strongly suggests that intake of omega-3
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from fish and fish oil
prevents cardiac death and nonfatal heart attacks.(Ref 2 3 4 5) HOW
DO THEY WORK? The review identified several protective
effects of omega-3 PUFAs in the cardiovascular system.
Omega-3 PUFAs are thought to stabilize the electrical activity
in the heart, thereby preventing heartbeat irregularities
(Arrhythmias).(Ref 6 7) They prevent excessive blood clotting
that may contribute to obstruction of blood flow in the blood
vessels that supply the heart (coronary arteries).(Ref 8 9)

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 . . . . . . .

----------------------------------------
Across town the crowds at the orphanage had not
diminished one soul, even for the funeral of the Cardinal.
Each person was thinking only of themselves and what
they wanted from the Shrine. If they had left to attend the
Cardinal's service they would have had to start over again
at the back of the line. As it was it took nearly three quarters
of a day to get to the front. That is how slow the crowds moved.
Many were healed. All were fed. The orphanage, too, was
bringing in amounts of cash that were staggering to those
who knew the value of money.
As you might expect, it attracted the attention of some who
felt they wanted the money. The church was only one of
those groups and as unscrupulous as the church had been
in that pursuit, it was not about to go to the lengths
some were.
The kids at the orphanage were street smart. They had
learned to survive in the streets long before Riata had
taken them into the orphanage.
Some of the kids had noticed a pair of men watching
them. The men, just like the spies from the church, did
not move with the crowd. They mistakenly thought they
would be lost in the crowd, because there were so many
people, but they did not take into account how things
looked from the kids point of view.
From where the kids looked, the crowds was just one big
moving mass, stopping at the shrine, then moving to the
table for food, then moving on out of the area. Any person
who just stood there was completely obvious.
That night the kids who were not on duty gathered together
and talked about the two men.
The kids did not know if the men would act alone, or if
they would come with company. In fact they did not know
exactly what would happen.
"Do you think they are watching for the church, just like
the other ones were?" asked one.
"Nah! I don't think so. Didn't you hear, the Cardinal is now
dead and the Bishop has taken over. Although he might
try something, it is too soon. He is too busy with taking
over the church affairs and with the Pope coming. These
two look like real crooks to me. They might come in here
with guns a blazing." came an answer.
"Should we call Riata?" asked another.
"Sure!" came the answer.
Then it was impressed upon them all, "No need to call
me, I'm listening. Yes those men are acting for themselves.
They are looking out for a gang of five members in all.
They have weapons, but I do not think they will use them
because of the crowds, but they will have them so don't
even think they won't use them. Act as if they will. I will
be here watching you and I will come into the play if you
need me, but I think you can handle them yourselves.
Listen to what I suggest and see if you like it."
With that, Riata gave them a few ideas and the kids
added some of their own.
They thought, talked and planned out their defense from
such a group of men.
Before long they had the plan and began to implement
the idea.
Much of the plan depended on silent communication.
That mean that if the attack came at night the kids would
have to warn themselves invisibly.
Without much ado, they got hold of a big red light. They
spoke to the owner of the building across the alley from
them and had permission to place the light on his roof so
it was visible from the orphanage, but not up and down
the alley. From the light they stretched electrical cord for
several buildings in each direction down to safe hiding
places in the alley each way from the orphanage. At the
end of these electrical cords there was a button, which
when pushed would turn on the light.
Just as they took turns at the table passing out food they
took turns at each of three positions at the back of the
orphanage. One position had the responsibility of watching
the light. Then two positions were to have one placed at
each end of the alley in the safe spot where they could
trigger the light, unseen.
The kids knew the folks who used the alley at night. Mostly
they were from the businesses in the area and represented
no trouble.

THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!
"Speak softly. If you really want to be heard,
lower your voice."
---- Terri Levine
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
HA! HA! HA!
At his request, each morning three-year-old Ray's
mother pinned a bath towel to the back shoulders
of his size two T-shirt. Immediately in his young
imaginative mind the towel became a brilliant
magic blue and red cape.
And he became Superman. Outfitted each day in
his "cape," Ray's days were packed with adventure
and daring escapades. He was Superman.
This fact was clearly pointed out last fall when his
mother enrolled him in kindergarten class. During
the course of the interview, the teacher asked Ray
his name.
"Superman," he answered politely and without pause.
The teacher smiled, cast an appreciative glance
at his mother, and asked again, "Your real
name, please."
Again, Ray answered, "Superman."
Realizing the situation demanded more authority,
or maybe to hide amusement, the teacher closed
her eyes for a moment, then in a voice quite stern, said,
"I will have to have your real name for the records."
Sensing he'd have to play straight with the teacher,
Ray slid his eyes around the room, hunched closer
to her, and patting a corner of frayed towel at his
shoulder, answered in a voice hushed with conspiracy,
"Clark Kent."
