What animal needs only a single tree to survive?
The koala bear is easily satisfied. It is so adapted to the
eucalyptus tree that it doesn't need anything else, not even
water, to live. Of course, some would say it's not wise to
put all your eggs in one basket.
What land animal is always on the move?
The swift, which flies as fast as 100 miles per hour, is
almost always in flight. They eat insects in the air, mate
in the air, and rarely land on the ground. When they do
land, it's usually to perch in a high tree.

cull it out of your mail, except for the odd word here

Tips And Tidbits
Here is a direct excerpt from MedaiDaily
Next big thing: The Web as your servant
By Kevin Maney, USA TODAY
The Web is over. Now comes the next big thing, growing
out of the primordial soup of wireless and wired networks,
gadgets, software, satellites and social changes created
over the past decade. The Net had a great ten-year run.
It's time for something new.
Sam Ward, USA TODAY
This coming wave doesn't even have a name yet. Some in
tech call it the world network. A big part of the promise is
that it will turn the Web around: Instead of having to find
information or entertainment, it will find you — and be
exactly what you want or need at that moment. The
network becomes a butler.
"This is the real Internet 2.0," says Halsey Minor, CEO
of Grand Central Communications, a start-up helping
catalyze the new era.
What will the world network do for people? One example,
culled from interviews with executives and entrepreneurs
across the tech industry, might be a service we'll call
Travel Butler, or TB for short. It doesn't exist, but services
like it are a gleam in the eye of companies ranging from
Orbitz to AT&T.
Let's say it's 4 p.m. TB knows you have a flight scheduled
for 6 p.m. because it regularly prowls the Web sites you
use for travel and found you booked a ticket on Orbitz. TB
can tell, perhaps by checking your online calendar, that
you're at a meeting downtown.
The service cross-checks with a map service such as
MapQuest to find the route you'd have to take to the airport.
Once it knows that, TB goes out on the network to monitor
traffic on your route — and finds the streams of data on the
Department of Transportation Web site, which monitors
road cameras and sensors.
TB might see that accidents have backed up traffic for miles.
It sends you a message, which finds you on your BlackBerry
e-mail, saying that to make your flight, you'd have to leave
now. TB also shows you an Orbitz listing of later flights.
You decide to go on a later flight, so you click on the one
you want. TB rebooks you, sends an e-mail to your spouse
and contacts the car service in your destination city to change
the time to pick you up.
That's an experience that rises above a particular technology.
"People really don't want to buy technology," says Lisa Hook,
head of America Online's broadband unit. "They do want to
buy experiences."
"We're completing the revolution begun in the bubble
economy," says Glover Ferguson, chief scientist for consulting
giant Accenture. "The basis for this next really big thing has
begun to be laid down." This is a point of transition as the
World Wide Web gives way to the world network.
The new Net
Ten years ago, the consumer version of the Web grew out of
the academic and military Internet that had been around since
1969. Amazon.com was founded in 1994, eBay and Yahoo in
1995, followed by truckloads of other consumer Web
companies. They created the now-familiar system of Web
sites built on HTML code and viewed on browsers. Those
sites profoundly changed shopping, travel, news, dating,
homework, music and many other aspects of life.
But after a boom and bust, the Web has stalled. Its power to
rock our world is largely gone. The only company that's had
that kind of impact in recent years is Google.
The Web, though, is becoming the first piece of the bigger
network as it meshes with new technologies that started from
disparate corners of the industry — such as Wi-Fi wireless
broadband connections, the Global Positioning System (GPS)
and radio frequency identification tags (RFID).
The technologies are becoming a network of networks,
enabled by a sea of powerful new devices and databases, all
interlinked and talking to each other. To some extent, these
are the "Web services" and .Net that Microsoft and other
companies have tried to encourage, but broader and better.
Web creator Tim Berners-Lee has been talking about a
version of such a system for a couple of years. "The Web can
reach its full potential only if it becomes a place where data
can be shared and processed by automated tools as well
as by people," Berners-Lee said Wednesday at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Yet, "This was never really foreseen in the 1990s," says
Alan Ramadan, a top executive at software company
Macromedia and founder of Quokka Sports, an early Net
multimedia firm that didn't survive. "We're out the other side,
and the Internet has emerged as more of a fundamental
world network."
On that world network, companies will build services only
dreamed about during the Web mania. In the Web era, you
went on the Internet to find something — you sat down at a
computer and tapped into search engines or shopping sites.
In the new era, the network and the information will give
you, unprompted, what you want depending on where
you are and what you're doing.
We got to this point by accident.
Sure, prognosticators have long had visions of technologies
coming together, but most networks and gadgets weren't
built with that in mind. Since the mid-1990s, hundreds of
companies invented and developed myriad technologies
that all had their individual, narrower purposes.
For instance, the Pentagon put GPS in place for all-weather
military navigation. The first full GPS satellite constellation
was up and functional on March 9, 1994. Now GPS can
let the network know when your car is approaching a
McDonald's at lunchtime.

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - -
How To Get The Best
From Your Pharmacy
Often we use pharmacies for only one or two purposes,
but they are very helpful for many other things. Besides
the pharmacist, there are usually technicians to help
with questions and clarification. The technician assists
the pharmacist and handle the organizational duties.
They will call doctors' offices and check for completeness
and correctness of the prescription. However, the
pharmacist is the qualified professional, and you will
want to speak with him/ her for any special needs.
Many pharmacies carry a very good selection of printed
information. I discovered this by accident when one of
my students printed out an entire assignment, scanned
it, and handed it in as her own. Besides recognising her
for her creativity, she failed. But it encouraged me to
spend time in a few drugstores and sections of food
stores. They always have informative brochures on
many different subjects.
Most pharmacies have blood pressure machines and
explanations of the test results. So if you suspect
hypertension, check yourself out. There are drug
interaction posters and these are invaluable for
cross-checking your over the counter meds with
prescription drugs. In order for your pharmacist to
serve you effectively, you should tell them all the
meds you are on. Many pharmacies will collect the
unused portions of medications and dispose of them
for free. Medication errors amongst the older population
is very high and this prevents a bit of this.
Some pharmacies sponsor and organise indoor
walking programs. Many druggists have special
training in conditions such a diabetes, asthma,
osteoporosis.
So the next time you are near a pharmacy, look a little
closer. And get to know YOUR pharmacist. Keep all
your personal information in one location. This could
save your life!

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 . . . . . . .

"You know, of course, you're welcome to stay
as long as you like, Mae. it's nice to have you
back. Susan and Psong were a wonderful help with
the kids while you were away. We'll miss them."
Reno gave Susan a hug. The pair of them had grown
close. Psong too got a hug.
Psong was one of those rare individuals that
seemed to have a halo around her wherever she
went. She offered a genuine love toward all her
fellow human beings. Every once in a while a
person meets up with someone like Psong and all
you want to do is remain in their company. Psong's
love came out of torture. Her deformed body had,
in her years before meeting Mae and Susan, been a
cause of ridicule by all in her village. She had
been an outcast, and looked upon with disfavor.
That lifestyle smelted the gold within her and
upon Mae restoring her to a perfect body she had a
deep and abiding love for those who maligned her.
She knew they knew not what they were doing. Psong
had here learned a lot about higher law. While Mae
was absent Psong had been working with Susan, Reno
and Amenti.
Tlang had fallen in love with Psong. The bond
the two of them formed was strong. Tlang, too, for
a six year old girl, was remarkably advanced
within her heart. It would not be long before she
would blossom out into fill bloom of higher law.
It had been so long now since she had been
subjected to the suffering and torture imposed
upon her by those in her past, that she was
beginning to show signs of the real person she
was. Psong was able to draw that out of her
because the pair of them had mutual understandings
formed from the suffering they endured at the
hands of others. They understood one another.
Mae and Susan stepped back a little and
enjoyed the interplay amongst the group they had
brought together. Both were pleased. Life can be
so beautiful when one let's go. Those who must
control everything miss out on so much. Their
lives are so continually busy trying to make
everything just so, that they fail to see the
beauty of life. Mae and Sue were controllers up to
that point where a person would exercise their own
rights of judgment and action. They respected,
defended those rights and required a person
exercise them. Mae and Susan, both, wanted each
individual in earth to be the person their Maker
wanted them to be. They wanted all to blossom into
the person that lived within each.
The little group ate the supper that was
prepared for everyone. It was a wonderful and
fulfilling meal that energized all.
As it was dusk, they started the fire. It was
a large circle out behind the orphanage on the
side away from the road. The kids had scrounged
lots of wood and when lit it made a large fire. It
gave warmth to all who sat around the circle.
Mae and Susan were quite used to this nightly
regime for it was common in the village where Mae
lived. They settled in like old hands.
For Shing Li, Psong, Tlang and the kids it was
new. They sat and enjoyed but did not get the full
benefit from the fire. That would happen in memory
later. They had fun with the kids next to them,
talking, laughing, looking at the fire. For Psong
it was wonderful for all things were a beauty for
her. She absorbed the love of the children and
from those who lived by higher law.
Too soon the fire was over. They could have
kept it up all night but that would make everyone
tired the following day. As it was the adults let
it go for a couple hours later because of the
guests. The kids loved that, as all kids do.
Mae, Susan, Shing Li and her kids, Psong and
Tlang stood to leave. They said their good byes
and promised to come again, then walked through
the orphanage to the front yard area.
Mae suggested they all hold hands. "Why don't
you take us all home Shing Li?"
"H...how?"
"Shing Li, you do it by doing what you did at
the battle site. You simply envision your home and
see us all there, knowing, without doubt, that is
where we are. It will happen."
Shing Li closed her eyes and envisioned her
house. She saw them all standing on the front
porch. Believing she opened her eyes and there
they were.
She had a little help from Mae and Susan,
but it taught her a lesson.
"I'm not sure how that happened" she said.
"Shing Li it goes back to the old law so long
ago taught by Jesus and others. 'All things
whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye
shall receive.' There is nothing magical about it
Shing Li. It is the law of your Maker."
