What lake has been used to operate a brewery?
Africa's Lake Kivy, which was formed from the damming of
an ancient river of lava flows, contains huge amounts of
dissolved methane. European settlers to the region used
this methane to run a brewery.
What is "liberty cabbage"?
"Liberty cabbage" was the name used by Americans during
World War I for sauerkraut. During the war years, all things
German were denounced or renamed. Something similar
happened recently with the US-Iraq war, which France did
not support. It never caught on, but some politicians
suggested that Americans call French fries, "Freedom fries"
and French toast, "Freedom toast." Cafeteria menus in
House office buildings actually made the changes.

I have put thePEBBLE online, to serve those of you who

If You're Going To Be A Bear
You Might As Well Be A Grizzly!
by Ken Darby
A couple were vacationing in Yosemite. The wife expressed
her concern about camping because of bears and said she
would feel more comfortable in a motel. The husband said
that he'd like to camp and to calm her concerns,
they'd talk to the park ranger to see what the likelihood of
a bear encounter would be.
The ranger told them, "Well, we haven't seen any grizzlies
in this area so far this year, or black bears, for that matter."
The wife shrieked, "There's TWO types of bears out here?
How can you tell the difference? Which one is more
dangerous?"
The ranger replied, "Well, that's easy, see, if the bear
chases you up a tree and it comes up after you, it's a
BLACK bear. If it SHAKES the tree until you fall out, it's
a grizzly."
The motel room was quite nice.
The park ranger was not having the calming effect the
husband wanted. It looks like his wife won.
The word "grizzly" always brings to my mind a saying my
father had. He used to tell me that if I was going to
be a bear, I might as well be a grizzly. I used to laugh at
that, because to me it was funny at the time.
What my father was trying to tell me was that if I'm going to
do something I'd better give it all I have. In other words
I'd better do the best job I can.
He was trying to point out the futility of doing things half
measure, of doing only a half job and at that without
any enthusiasm.
My dad taught me that if I was going to accept money
from someone to do a job then I owe it to that person to
do the best I can. He showed me it does not matter
whether I was being paid $5 per hour or $20 per hour,
so long as I was being paid I had better do the best of
which I am capable.
At one point in my career I had an employee who was
asked to do a certain task. When he first came on board
he was doing wonderful. Then things began to slow down,
so I called him in to speak with him. The conversation
soon came around to him telling me that if I paid him more
then he would do a better job. Needless to say that young
man never darkened my doorway again.
I have found that regardless of circumstances, if you are
not doing the best of which you are capable then the
only one that gets cheated is you.
Over the years I have followed my Dad's advice. He
was a wise man and I have found he was right.
So remember ...
If You're Going To Be A Bear You Might As Well
Be A Grizzly!

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - -
by Karin Henderson
Why All Vitamins Are NOT the Same
PART 2 of 4
Let’s look at this from the purposes of the buyer and
the company. Those purposes are not the same. You need
to figure out what your specific need or purpose is. Is
your purpose for finding a “vitamin” just because you
read something in a magazine? Is it to give you long
term health support or is it to get rid of specific
symptoms? Why do you want to know? Don’t you trust your
information source? Have you figured out what your body
is missing? How did you decide?
Once you realise what you are seeking, the search
becomes focussed and much easier. But to go to a
pharmacy, health food store, or grocery store and just
get a “vitamin”, because you have heard it worked for
so and so, may be really counter-productive experience.
(And to buy the largest container of the least
expensive supplement is less than wise.) One of the
most frequent comments and assumptions I get is that
these products, usually herbs, are “safe” because they
are “natural”.
Please don’t be fooled just because it seems pretty
harmless and says: “natural”. Herbs, including herbal
teas, are the basis of many drugs. If you don’t know
what you are doing, get some reliable help.
Why do you want to take them? We read in magazines that
we should use Vitamin E for cardiovascular health,
calcium for osteoporosis, Vitamin C and zinc for flu
for colds. Or you do a search for Meniere’s symptoms
and could find relief with certain bioflavonoids,
lipoflavonoids or Vinpocetine: a derivate of vincamine.
Last week I read an article suggesting you can take all
sorts of things for “inflammation”. Have you any idea
what your body will do with these individual vitamins
and minerals? Do you know how your body uses its
nutrients and how they are shared throughout? Could you
be causing some imbalance?

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 . . . . . . .

Ben and Tom found the Mother, unconscious. The
dog was near her. Then they heard crying. Looking
around they saw the boy. Ben stood calm. He
cleared the entire area of gasses and heat. He
brought in fresh oxygen and gathered the family
together. Then he and Tom picked them all up and
"floated" through a window and down to the street.
They then carried the family to the nursing
station. Alewka and Hilda took over from there.
Billy Hendricks found himself deep in the
basement of one of the buildings. It was full of
stock and merchandise, but also smelled foul. The
gasses, the water, the smoke were all conspiring
to kill the folks who remained there. There was no
way out. There were no windows and the stairs had
long been blocked with debris not only from the
explosion but from the building itself as it
burned. The floor above the workers was burning
and there were signs here and there of the fire
breaking through. The heat was intense and
breathing was hard.
Billy concentrated his energies. He saw the
basement as cool, filled with fresh air and
oxygen. He saw the floor as being extinguished of
flame and held strong. Then he gathered the thirty
or so people and told them of his plan. He was
going to lift them all up into the air and through
a hole in the floor he would create. He wanted all
of them to hold hands and follow him.
Four or five of the people refused. These were
mostly men who were now panicked and ready to
fight anyone or anything. The place was now cool
and livable Soon rescuers would arrive and they
would be fine. They recognized not that Billy was
a rescuer. They did not know it was he that
created the cool and cleared the place of gasses.
He was too young, and besides, no one could do
that. This was a natural condition. Fire and heat
rise, after all. They don't come down.
Billy stood and broadcast love unto all of
them. The four or five who objected he made
temporarily mindless. Everyone held hands, even
the objectors. Billy then "saw" a hole in the
floor and they began to rise. They came through
the hole in the floor and the entire building
collapsed, floor and all. Billy continued to take
the people away from danger and toward the nursing
station. As he got away from danger he restored
the full mental prowess of those he had earlier
inhibited. Seeing their new status they ran in
fear. The balance of the group thanked Billy with
hugs and kisses. They couldn't thank him enough.
They didn't want him to leave. He was surrounded
by the group and could not move. Slowly he managed
to get them to the aid station where Helen Striker
took over.
Church men arrived at the nursing stations and
were mingling about trying to appease or calm
those who were there. One would hear things from
them like, "God had healed you and saved you this
day. Praise be to God." and the Catholic Fathers
were waving beads over everyone, saying "Praise be
to our Father this day for he has saved you from
certain death. Come to church, my son, and give
thanks."
In the midst of this chaos and confusion these
statements seemed ludicrous. Those present well
knew how they were saved and who did it. It had
nothing to do with religion and the uttered words
of the clergy only exaggerated their impotence.
For a short while, Alewka thought there was
going to be a fight. One of the people now resting
from the ordeal stood up and told the Padre to
"Get out of here. You and your church had nothing
to do with me being saved. You are a foolish old
man who knows nothing of what you speak. Get out
of my face."
The Padre, in his ignorance, moved on to the
next person who would give him an ear. The same
was true of all the clergy. Their presence in the
midst of the feats of heroism the Henrys, the
Strikers and the Whites were doing made them look
like paper tigers, all words and no substance. It
was lost on them, however, for they were right,
you know, or so they will tell you.
Darryl Sparks was doing his best to help at
the nursing station, yet he had that nagging
urgency all news hounds have. He wanted to leave
to muster his troops so he could get pictures and
stories.
So far the building in which his paper was
located, had not caught fire. That was the thing
the firemen were worried about next. The heat was
that intense they were afraid of spontaneous
combustion. It would be nothing for the buildings
across the street from the blast to catch fire.
All had windows blown out. Merchandise and other
material inside those buildings had a flash point
much lower than roofs or parts of buildings. From
time to time the fire department sent a spray of
water into those buildings to prevent a piece of
paper catching fire and thereafter the building it
was in.

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:
Wow! Today was one of those days when you spend many
hours fixing messes others make. My ISP changed the settings
on his mail server. He was trying to make things better for the
future volume he was anticipating. It worked fine, but I didn't
know I had to change the settings on my mail program so I
could send mail. It took nearly three hours to straighten out.
Now all works well, again.
These things happen. Interesting. I find it amusing to see the
gyrations I and others go through, courtesy of changes
made by someone else.
Have a great weekend folks

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can
see from her name plate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack.
So, he says, "Ms. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat
and go on a long vacation."
Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he
wants to borrow. The frog says, "$30,000."
The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name
is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it is okay,
he knows the bank manager.
Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money
and that he will need to secure some collateral against the
loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.
The frog says, "Sure, I have this," and produces a tiny pink
porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and
perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult
with the manager and disappears into a back office. She
finds the manager and says, "There is a frog called Kermit
Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to
borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what IS
this?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says, "It's a
knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old
man's a rolling stone."
