1) ======= Flight Lines =======
[Observations on business and life]

Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much.
--Erich Fromm

What we frankly give, forever is our own.
--George Granville

In this holiday season, may we all remember to give from
our hearts... our time, our attention and our care...
to friends, to family and to those we chance to meet.
For in the end, those are the greatest gifts of all.

Secure Folders in Windows XP Professional

Windows XP Professional provides for adding "file-level"
security when the partition containing the folder is
formatted with the NTFS file system.

To secure an individual folder:

Open Windows Explorer and locate the folder you want to
protect. Next, right click the folder and click "Sharing
and Security". Click the Security tab.

Under "Group or User names", remove the groups or users
that you want to restrict from having access the folder.

Click "Add" to add groups or users that you wish to have
access the folder. Now, select the access level under the
"Permissions" section.

The folder is now secure, with your security settings, as
each user logs on.

3) ======= Feature Article =======

Note: This is an older article by a fellow writer, but is

"Christmas Sites" - Guest Article
Copyright (C) Richard Lowe Jr. and Claudia Arevalo-Lowe,
1999-2001

With the proper mindset, Christmas can be a wonderful time.
Regardless of whether or not you are Christian, this time
of year can be seen as a celebration of life, togetherness
and family which has no equal anywhere else on the calendar.

The web is a wonderful way for people to communicate with
each other, and Christmas is an excellent excuse to begin
talking. Why not send an email to old forgotten friends
wishing them a happy holiday. Better yet, I'm sure your
favorite ecard site has Christmas themed cards ready to be
sent.

There are literally thousands of sites which contain just
about everything Christmas related that you could possibly
imagine. A short list is included here for your pleasure.
At the bottom are references to a few of the really huge
lists of Christmas links: be warned, though, that these
will eat up an entire day (at a minimum) of surfing fun.

Join A Real.... North Pole Expedition

Got a few thousand dollars? Then how about booking a flight
to the North Pole? At first I thought this was a joke, but
perhaps it's real. If anyone goes on a trip via this group,
let me know how it turns out!

North Pole Expedition

Pretty cool site all about recent expeditions to the North
Pole.

Santa's Workshop

If you want to find out something about Santa and his elves,
then check out this site. They have a "live elf cam" which
is very entertaining, pictures that can be printed and
colored with crayons, recipes, quizzes and tons of other
great activities.

North Pole

Now this is cool. It's a gift store but the site is put
together so well that it is extremely entertaining. They
have used Flash to create a wonderful, fun-filled virtual
tour through the North Pole. I had a great time, although I
didn't purchase anything.

Santa's House

Take a virtual tour of Santa's house. Look into Mrs. Claus's
kitchen and see what she's cooking today. Nice graphics - a
short but fun web site.

NORAD Santa Tracking

A yearly tradition for decades. NORAD (North American Air
Defense Command) uses it's early warning detection system to
track the exact location of Santa on Christmas Eve. This is
displayed for all to see on their web site, along with
glimpses of his sleigh from satellites and fighter jets.

Send an Email to Santa

When you were a child, did you ever sent an email to Santa
only to never receive a response? Well, now your children
can send their Christmas lists directly to Santa and get a
response!

Paper Snowflakes

Now here is an interesting idea: printable paper snowflakes.
For $12 a year, you get access to hundreds of patterns,
which are cut apart with scissors. Remember making these as
a kid? (I sure do!) Well, this artist has created some
excellent patterns for your kids to make wonderful paper
projects. There is also a selection of free snowflakes.

Santa Live

See live interviews with Santa, or just play some Christmas
games. An amusing site.

Wrap Art

Have some fun with gift wrapping.

Printable Gift Tags

Are you paying good money for those little tags which you
attach to gifts which have the name of the person to whom
the gift is intended? Why not print your own? These tags
are free and look great!

Printable Gift Tags

More gift tags.

Printable Gift Tags

Yet more gift tags. A nice selection.

[Ideas to inspire better communication]

Bob went to the hardware store to make a purchase.
He asked the store clerk, "How much does one cost?"
"Three dollars, said the clerk." Bob asked "What will
twelve cost me?" "Six dollars", replied the clerk.
"Okay, what about 125, asked Bob?" The clerk told him
"Nine dollars, total."

What was Bob buying?
