WELCOME TO THE SHOW!
To make it big in this business, you have to be different. Thats why each day before coming to work I mousse my hair with Cheez Whiz.
Just read online that nearly 1 out of every 5 Americans is considered to be illiterate. Who exactly is that message for?
I feel sorry for the shows airing on the TV Guide Channel. The channel itself is constantly saying, "Hey look, here's something you could be watching instead of watching us!"
BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Those who control their anger have great understanding; those with a hasty temper will make mistakes.--Proverbs 14:29

HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE, PRAYER & THOUGHT
(From VerseOfTheDay.com)
I am suffering ... Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. HYPERLINK "http://bible.faithlife.com/bible/niv/2Timothy1.12"2 Timothy 1:12
Thought: As Paul faced very difficult circumstances near the end of his life, many of those he had led to the Lord abandoned him. But he was confident that the Lord would not abandon him! He had committed his life to Jesus as Lord. That Lord would ensure that the investment Paul had made would not be wasted. His life, his future, and his eternal destiny were entrusted to the Lord. He was confident that they were also secure in the Lord. He believed with every fiber of his being that on a special day known only to God, Jesus will return and every knee will bow and Paul's faith in the Lord will be joyously validated.
Prayer: Almighty God, I believe, but please strengthen my faith so that no matter what I may endure, my confidence in you will remain firm and my hope may remain vibrant. I entrust to you all that I am and all that I hope to be, believing fully that you will bring me through whatever lies ahead and bring me into your glorious presence with great joy. In Jesus' glorious name I pray. Amen.

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE TERM "EAVESDROPPING"?"Eaves" are the edges of a roof that project past the exterior walls of a building, usually designed to carry rain water away from the foundations. The "eavesdrip" in Old English was a specific place--the outside area from the walls of a house to the edge of the roof--a space to shelter oneself from the rain or, if one were sneaky, where conversations within the house could be overheard rather clearly. "Eavesdrip" eventually became "eavesdrop," and by the late 15th century the noun had become a verb, meaning to secretly listen to someone else's conversation.

A report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says the evidence was found in Chaco Canyon and dated between A.D. 1000 and1125. Drinking chocolate was associated with a variety of rituals in ancient Central America, including weddings, but Patricia Crown of the University of New Mexico says she's not sure of its exact uses in her area. And getting chocolate was much harder than going to the mall or searching the Web. Crown says the nearest cacao plantation would have been more than 1,000 miles away, so importing the material would have been a major undertaking. She also says chocolate probably tasted bitter compared with what is available today. Central Americans didn't sweeten their chocolate and sometimes mixed in hot peppers. Crown said honey might have been available in what's now New Mexico. ***MARLAR: Sounds like people were cuckoo for cocoa before there were puffs!

Only 14 percent of U.S. workers believe they have the perfect job and more than half want to change careers. A Harris survey showed that the most coveted jobs are in the arts and sciences, business management, technology and healthcare. ***MARLAR: It seems the saying is true the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Unless you truly are in the arts, at which point that grass may be pink or plaid.
New research suggests too many people are getting extra sedation treatment during their colonoscopy exams, costing as much as $1 billion yearly in potentially needless services. Use of anesthesiologists to monitor sedation during colonoscopies and other digestive imaging tests has more than doubled in recent years, and they're used most often for low-risk patients who typically don't need the extra help, the study authors said. "These services are not harming patients," says Dr. Soeren Mattke. "They're basically giving them a luxury that is not strictly necessary." ***MARLAR: Maybe so, but who wants to be awake while getting a colonoscopy?

What's in a name? Ask a man by the name of Osamu, and he can tell you.
Some residents of Port Townsend, Washington just can't get it through their thick skulls that the six letter name "Osamu" is not the same as "Osama". They've been sending angry letters to Osamu Okamoto, a Japanese restaurant owner, demanding to know if he's related to Osama bin Laden.

THE FILES OF LAW & DISORDER
A man robs a bank, after making a withdrawal from his own account!
FILE #1: A Fresno bank robber, after making a legitimate withdrawal from his own account, went over to another teller and demanded that all the money in the bank vault be turned over to him in a bag. Accepting that it would take 15 minutes to empty the vault he went outside to wait patiently on the curb, according to police who arrived in less than 15 minutes.
FILE #2: Jessie Adams was released from the county jail after serving an eight month sentence for auto theft and drunken driving. Mr. Adams was still in the jail parking lot when he asked a man if he wanted to help him rob a bank. Bad idea. The guy he propositioned was an undercover cop. Jessie is back in his cell.
FILE #3: The clerk at a convenience store in Little Rock, Ark., was cool under pressure when two men, armed with a rifle, tried to rob him. The unnamed clerk simply asked the men why they would want to go to prison over $30. The duo apparently reconsidered, and left without completing their robbery.

Sometimes God even works in the lives of criminals to bring them to justice!
Jada Coover of Sioux City Iowa was scheduled to appear in court on charges of attempting to tamper with anhydrous ammonia, which is used to make methamphetamine. He was tooling around town on the day of his court appearance, apparently not intending to show up for court, in a truck suspected of being in a hit and run. Police spotted the truck and started to pursue him. So the brilliant mind of Jada thought, "Ill run from police and then hide in a court house," which he did. Coover hastily parked the truck and ran into the courthouse and tried to barricade himself in a courtroom. The exact same courtroom he was scheduled to appear in that day!

TRUE OR FALSE
Pay attention! If our next player doesnt answer all ten T/F questions correctly we start all over from question #1! First person to answer question #10 correctly is our winner!
1. News journalist Diane Sawyer was once a beauty queen. (True - when Diane Sawyer competed in the America's Junior Miss Pageant, several judges considered her too serious and sophisticated to serve as a teen titleholder. During rehearsals, nearsighted Diane walked headfirst into a metal post in front of the judges and dissolved into girlish giggles. Charmed by Sawyer's silly side, several judges changed their votes in her favor and she was named 1963 America's Junior Miss.)
2. Humphrey Bogart's ashes are in an urn that also contains a small gold whistle. (True - Lauren Bacall had the whistle inscribed "If you need anything, just whistle" the words she spoke to him in their first film together, To Have and Have Not.)
3. House dust is smaller than space dust. (False - space dust is extremely small smaller than a particle of smoke and widely separated, with more than 320 feet between particles.)
4. By the eighteenth century, apple pie had become so popular a dessert in America that Yale College served it every night at supper. (True - and they did so for more than a century.)
5. 60% of college students suffer hearing loss. (True - according to a study for the University of Tennessee's Noise Laboratory, 60 percent of American college students suffer from some high-frequency hearing loss. The main cause of this premature deafness is noise. Hearing loss has long been linked to exposure to noise. Sustained loud noises from vehicles, jet aircraft, stereos, food processors destroys the ears' tiny hair cells.)
6. The Boeing 767 aircraft has over one-billion parts. (False - it is a collection of 3.1 million parts. And those parts come from 800 different suppliers around the world: fuselage parts from Japan, center wing section from Southern California, flaps from Italy.)
7. On the new hundred dollar bill the time on the clock tower of Independence Hall is 9:11. (False - it's 4:10.)
8. Parker Brothers prints about 50 billion dollars worth of Monopoly money in one year. (True)
9. Hobbes the tiger in the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip has no pads on his feet. (True. Hobbes originally had pads on his hands and feet but Bill Waterson, the creator, found them too distracting and removed them.)
10. It took Leo Tolstoy only six months to write "War & Peace". (False - it took him six years.)

THE WAY TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING TO UNDERSTAND THE PUNCHLINE EVEN AFTER TWO CUPS OF COFFEE JOKE OF THE DAY
JOKE #1
During the summer when the power mower was broke, and wouldn't run, the wife kept hinting to her husband that he ought to get it fixed, but somehow the message never sunk in. Finally, she thought of a clever way to make the point. When her husband arrived home that day, he found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. He watched silently for a short time, and then went into the house. He was gone only a few moments. When he came out again he handed his wife a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," he said, "You might as well sweep the sidewalks."
JOKE #2
Using a new painting program on her computer,Sue managed to come up with a very credible still life of fruit.She made a color printout and sent it toher daughter, a graphic designer. She called when it arrived. "Isn't it good?"Sue asked.
She chuckled, and replied, "Mom, it's beautiful. We put it on the refrigerator."
JOKE #3
The owner of a priceless antiques collection allowed a museum to exhibit his treasures.
The movers packed the vases while the collector hovered over them. "Do be careful," he cautioned one burly mover. "That vase is nearly two thousand years old."
"Don't worry," the guy replied. "I'll treat it like it was brand new."

A man tries to get even with Uncle Sam at tax time.
A man irate about his income tax paid Uncle Sam (the U.S. government) with a plaster of Paris check that weighed several pounds. He wasn't all that bright, because once the government cashed the check, it was returned to him and he had to keep it for five years for his records.
INSPIRATIONAL INSPIRATION
THE MONARCH BUTTERFLIES
Even though we die in this human life, we are reborn into a more beautiful state. By Kathryn Woodard
My 29-year-old son Kevin passed away in August of 1996 from a brain tumor triggered by the AIDS virus.I had known about his condition for more than three years, but his HIV status changed to full-blown AIDS in the summer of 1995. The brain tumor caused him to have a small stroke. He was living and working in Washington, D.C. at the time, and I immediately sought a leave of absence and flew there from my home in St. Louis.When I got to see Kevin, he was distraught and wanted to know why he should go on living. I responded that only God knows when it is time for us to leave this earth, and that I would be there for him through his illness. His friends thought he should go into a nursing home, but I said no--he should come back to St. Louis with me.
I set about moving his things, going to the grocery store each dayto get boxes, then packing them and sending them via UPS to my home. We both wondered when and how his furniture could be moved. But a good friend of his--a young lawyer named Donnell Smith--was living in D.C. at the same time and miraculously was getting ready to move to St. Louis. He offered to place Kevin's furniture on his moving truck and send it to my apartment. God had heard our prayers. Once Kevin was back home, we starting looking for doctors, and found a fantastic radiologist at Washington University. Between his doctors help and my belief in following a firm nutrition plan to maintain health, he was soon walking with the aid of a cane. His good spirits came back, and he was able to drive his beloved Jeep. Kevin had always been a kind and happy child, and a committed Christian. At one time he even thought of becoming a preacher. Eventually he paid his own way through college (we were fairly poor when he was growing up) and became a pharmacist. As a pharmacist he worked for a program that helped pharmacies pay for prescriptions for those could not afford them. That's just the kind of person he was. Once he moved back to St. Louis, Kevin kept up with his friends in D.C. to make sure the pharmacy program continued. His good health lasted until July of 1996, but after his 29th birthday, it declined rapidly. When Kevin died, I was devastated, and each day was a struggle for me, whether I was at work or at home. Two of my friends, Gloria Bratkowski and her husband, Tom, were working on a project to increase the worlds butterfly population. They had given me some Monarch butterfly caterpillars as part of this project. Gloria told me what to feed them, which I dutifully went about doing. It was a distraction from my grief. The caterpillars eventually spun their cocoons, and I watched as they turned dark brown and shriveled. In my sorrow, I thought that I had not fed them enough and that the cocoons would never open.
One particular day in October of 1996, I was more distraught than usual, and I too had even considered suicide. Angry and depressed, I was sitting in my kitchen, crying, when I heard a small sound. I thought it was a mouse and turned to see where the sound was coming from.
There on the shelf, inside the glass bottle that held the caterpillars, I saw the cocoons begin to open. The beautiful Monarchs started unfolding before me.My heart was filled with joy as I realized what God was showing me: that even though we die in this human life, we are reborn like butterflies to an infinitely more beautiful state. Our bodies simply encase this beauty. Our souls are set free upon death to the wonder of heaven--if we simply believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and his promise of life everlasting. Although I was still sad after this event, I was at peace with God's promise of everlasting life through the lesson of the Monarch butterflies.
DRIVE TIME DEVOTIONAL
One of my pet peeves people praying in King James English!
It happened one night when I was at church. A guest preacher was asked to say a prayer in front of the congregation. The preacher began, but his voice soon became a mumble, making his prayer unintelligible to the people who were listening.
Summoning his courage, one church member interrupted, "Excuse me, sir, but we can't understand you."
Without hesitation, the preacher looked up and said, "I'm not talking to you."
Ouch. Now, I don't think it's appropriate to embarrass someone in public like that and the mumbling preacher should have prayed louder. But he did have a point.
When we pray in public, we have to keep in mind that it's not our job to impress people with what we say. When you pray, and suddenly your find yourself using words like thee and thou, thine and hast you hast to wonder who thine speakest too, and ask thineself what thou motives be. If you dont talk like that to your friends and family, why do you talk that way when youre praying to God in a public setting? Do you think God speaks only in King James English?
And while were on the subject whats with people in church services praying loudly in their pews? Whats the deal with that? If you praying loudly, and the person next to you is praying loudly, and youre both not saying the same thing, then the person in front of you is going to hear nothing but gibberish and could be distracted in his own prayers to God. Do we think God cant hear us unless we speak out loud, even in the presence of others?!?!Our job when were praying isnt to sound spiritual to God or others our job is to worship the Lord as we talk with Him.
That's difficult for some, because we want to be appreciated by others. We don't want our friends to think we're some spiritual moron. We don't want them to go away with the idea that we don't know how to pray. But then, what are we teaching them if we suddenly begin to use twenty-dollar words in our prayers, when a ten-cent word will do just fine?
Ill bet the hypocrites in Matthew, Chapter six had the same problem. They were great at praying (in their own eyes and ears, at least). To them, a great prayer was one that was a bit boisterous and attracted attention.
But as good as their prayers may have sounded, they may as well have been praying to the god of the chandeliers, because their prayers didn't get any higher than that. Jesus said, "They have received their reward in full" (v.5).
Instead of trying to pray in a way that we think will impress others, we need to pray to God, not to the people in our prayer group. That way, no one will ever wonder who it is we're really talking to.
LEFTOVERS
DREAMING OF CHEESY REWARDS
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say that they not only know that rats have dreams, but they say they know some of the things rats dream about.
They entered the dreams of rats and found them busily working their way through the same lab mazes they negotiate during the day. The scientists had the mice perform specific tasks in a maze that produced very distinctive patterns of brain activity. When they repeatedly saw almost exactly the same patterns reproduced during sleep, they concluded the rats were dreaming about running through the maze. It is evidence not just that animals dream, but that they have complex dreams, replaying events much the way humans do, researchers said. And they may use their dreams to learn or memorize.
LIFE... LIVE IT
GO ON VACATION AND LOSE WEIGHT
We all know that vacations are good for our mental health - but it looks like they could be good for weight-loss too... even if we don't get all that active!
In the Washington Post a dietitian claims that you may be more likely to LOSE weight than gain weight on your vacations. He says that, because you are out of your environment, your behavior-related eating habits are gone, you don't have ready access to the refrigerator, and you are just plain more active.
JUST FOR FUN
BOTCHED WEDDING PLANS
Sometimes it's a good idea to look at the signs around you to be sure that you're doing the right thing including marriage.
It's probably the shortest marriage of all time, a marriage that lasted just a few minutes! And if the couple had only taken heed of the numerous warnings that were being tossed their direction it all may have never taken place. The wedding took place in Kenya last week. A few days before the wedding ceremony was to even take place, the bride threatened to call the whole thing off because her groom (a milkman) had purchased a "cheap" wedding gown. That's one hint that they weren't going to work out. Then, on the day of the wedding, the bride refused to get into the vehicle that was supposed to take her to the church... calling it "junk". Again, another sign that maybe this marriage thing wasn't supposed to be.) Are you getting the picture that this woman is totally unpleasable and getting married for the wrong reasons?) Anyway, she finally did make it to the church, and the pastor was just about to marry the couple when, and I'm not joking here, a huge python slid into the chapel and scared everybody senseless. No one was hurt, the python was ejected, and the couple said "okay, that's enough, we're not getting married!" But; believe it or not, the priest insisted that they continue! (How many God-fearing reverends do you know that would do that when the couple is obviously in trouble before they ever exchange the rings?) And speaking of rings, once the ceremony continued at the insistence of the priest, the groom refused to hand over the two wedding rings (smart man)! So is that the end? Of course not... the congregation now is bound and determined to force these two kids to marry, so they hand the priest two rings from people who were in attendance of this wedding fiasco. Immediately after this whole thing was over, the unhappy couple removed their rings and threw them away, ending a marriage that lasted just a few minutes.

HOW THE MODELS STAY SKINNY
Overweight stars, gorgeous models and actresses often use bizarre methods to stay thin and "beautiful." Patricia Marx, author of the best-selling book, "The Skinny: What Every Skinny Woman Know About Dieting (And Won't Tell You)," reveals what some women do:
Swallow cotton balls dipped in orange juice to make themselves feel full.
Wear skimpy clothes in winter weather to make themselves shiver and burn extra calories.
Go on intentional crying jags to burn extra calories.
Deliberately get intestinal diseases. Some women vacation in underdeveloped countries and drink the local tap water to give themselves an intestinal bug so they can lose weight.
Swallow tapeworms so the worms lodge in their intestines and consume calories.
Convince doctors they have Attention Deficit Disorder, so they can get drugs like Ritalin and Dexedrine which have a side effect of suppressing hunger.
Take Valium to numb the urge to eat.
Take over-the-counter sinus medications and energy boosters that contain ephedrine. Many girls believe these drugs help burn calories faster, but side effects can range from nervousness to stroke, heart attacks and even death.
Take strange concoctions like lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup or vinegar and water. Girls think these mixtures help them burn calories fast, but they really just make them nauseous.
If girls are really desperate to get thin, they can always give me a call my mother-in-law's cooking makes me lose my appetite in to time flat.
TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS!

THE WAY WE WORK
(Updated as it comes available. HYPERLINK "http://markelfstrand.blogspot.com/" The Way WE Work is written by Mark Elfstrand from 1160Hope.com in Chicago.)
HYPERLINK "http://markelfstrand.blogspot.com/2015/11/cheering-for-down-and-outer.html" Cheering for the Down and Outer
One of the disappointments over which I mildly grieve is to see a business go under. The majority of employees are unaware of the great challenges of keeping an enterprise profitable. Seeing enterprises fail means jobs are lost. Revenues for the community are diminished. And in many cases, the goodwill spread by these companies through donations or volunteer manpower vanishes.In our own neighborhood, we said farewell to several retail operations in the last few years. We lost our local Applebees restaurant. A Bob Evans not so long ago. And a big disappointment came when the Barnes and Noble closed its doors. Farther away, a unique restaurant, operated by a successful business group, locked up and tore down a place called Key Wester. It had a big aquarium, a waterfall, and doors that opened in summer to overlook black swans on a small body of water. Very refreshing. Butgone.What we dont usually see are the tears shed by people whove invested a part or all of their adult life trying to make a go of their dream. We dont see the hours agonizing over ways to save the business and keep people they care about employed. We dont see the creditors who may not get their money back from what they loaned in trust. Pain goes along with the closing of those doors. HYPERLINK "http://www.unionleader.com/article/20151110/NEWS02/151119925" So I read with interest a story that gave me a light chuckle at first about a man desperate to save his business in Candia, New Hampshire. Kevin Dumont is a principle owner of the Liquid Planet Water Park. If youll excuse the expression, his water park business is going under. And hes making a life-saving effort by chaining himself to a 30-foot waterslide to keep it afloat. *groan*Dumont has camped out. He needs a bailout. In his words, Were losing everything if we can't find a partner. We just need to save it from going to the auction block. We need an infusion of cash to pay off the debt.Were hoping this effort will give us some offers.Its not like no one is showing up. The park had 35,000-plus visitors this past season. Since 2008 when Liquid Planet opened, Dumont admits its been an uphill challenge. But its only in the past year that hes fallen behind in his payments. He properly does not blame the bank for his woes. But Dumont was notified in September of the banks plans to auction off the 44-acre property (that includes his home) on December 2nd. A bank does what they must do for their own clients sake.But Dumonts story is more painful when you learn that both his father and mother died within the last four months. Losing your parents and your business within 140 days of each other plays havoc on the human spirit. Thusthe desperate act of a desperate man to chain himself to a water slide.Kevin Dumont claims he started the business for families. A noble purpose offers no guarantees for success. Too many forces come to bear to make a business survive.Size does not matter. Giant airlines get bought out or cease to exist. K-Mart has Sears behind them but keeps faltering. Sears itself is making what some think are desperate moves to stay alive. And, of course, Blockbuster became a failure equal to its name.Times change. Peoples tastes do as well. Innovation opens new markets. Staying competitive is a true art in business. Some go the route of reinvention. Ive been reading rumors of McDonalds demise for a couple of years now. Recently, they have started serving breakfast all day. There has been an uptick in their customer count. Who said playing this investor driven game of staying alive was going to be fun?People of faith are not immune in any way to business failings. More recently, Family Christian Stores fought tooth and nail to survive. Only after large concessions have they managed to do so after $127 million in debt was erased. Years ago, the startup company I put together came to a point where it appeared things would collapse. I decided to give my business to God which sounded very dramatic. My friend Chuck Gratner looked at me over breakfast after I shared this and replied, Maybe God doesnt want your business. Yeahhadnt quite considered that. It tanked four months later.Spiritual lesson: Not all things are meant to be. Not all things are meant to last. Not all dreams come true. As The Preacher wrote in Ecclesiastes, For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. (Ecc 3:1-4, NLT)Some sound advice. As a few wise Byrds once told me.Thats The Way WE Work.
