| Life Lock - Identity theft can happen anywhere to anyone. In line at the store, online at home or when you're buying
your morning coffee. If your identity is stolen, you can spend hundreds of hours cleaning up your credit and struggling
to get back your good name. That's because stolen identities are used up to 30 times, with most victims only discovering
the theft after they've been turned down for a loan or contacted by a collection agency. You may already be a victim,
many times over, and not even know it. But not with LifeLock. LifeLock, the industry leader in proactive identity
theft protection, offers a proven solution that prevents your identity from being stolen before it happens. We'll
protect your identity and personal information for only $10 a month - and we guarantee our service up to $1,000,000.
We also offer the only identity theft child protection program available in the market, so guarantee your good
name today and enroll now. |

| History of Vermont Maple
Syrup - The production of Vermont maple syrup and other maple products is a thriving
tradition that signals the arrival of spring in northern New England. The sweet scent of boiling maple sap escaping
area sugar shacks is just one of the many reasons visitors travel from around the world to experience springtime
in Vermont! The first American Sugarmakers were early Native Americans of New England who called their delicious
maple syrup, "sinzibukwud," which translated means, "sweet buds." The world is forever in
their debt for teaching their Sugarmaking trade to the first American white settlers. The Native American tribes
of the Northeast, used it as a flavoring for breads, stews, teas, and vegetables. Native Americans also traded
maple sugar for other products they needed. The French and English colonists were delighted with the taste of maple
sugar, and eventually they learned the process of making it from the Native Americans. Maple sugar became the principal
sweetener in North America. (Native Americans and colonists could not store maple syrup easily, so they used the
dry form.) When cane sugar was introduced, New Englanders still preferred maple sugar because it was much cheaper
and did not involve West Indian slave labor. |

| Toymaker
- Marilyn Scott-Waters' new book of whimsical paper toys for children is capitalizing on the success of her web
site which has touched a nerve with people who are looking for something different than the latest video game or
this year's giant robot, and has sparked a unique and creative home-based business. When Scott-Waters, a Costa
Mesa native and artist, was laid off after a merger from her clothing design job six years ago -- an inspiration-crushing
existence churning out high performance motorcycle apparel -- she decided to look at her situation as an opportunity
to do something different. By all appearances, Scott-Waters was a successful businesswoman and artist, and could
have been back at work just about anywhere she wanted. But the desire to spend more time with her family and do
the art and design she wanted to do lead her in the direction of entrepreneurship. While spending the last several
years doing freelance product design, she has also created the world of "The Toymaker" from her Baker
Street home studio. This lead to www.thetoymaker.com. Then with the success of the web-site, (over 250,000 hits
in one year!) and at the request of many of the site's visitors, Scott-Waters decided to publish her own book of
designs, called: "The Toymaker: Folded Paper Toys You Can Make Yourself," which came out in July, 2004. |
