Hi Fellow Sourcerer, welcome to;

yet another edition of SECRET SOURCE NEWS.

=========================================

CHANGE NEWS

You have spoken and yes, we have heard you. We thought we would be sneaky and just sort of gradually change from a twice monthly format to a monthly format and see if anyone noticed. Sheesh, lots of you noticed! I haven't had my butt chewed like that for a long, long time.

End result: We are going back to publishing every two weeks, although the content may not be quite as lengthy as some of our past issues. Thanks for letting us know that you love us! We'll see you again in two weeks!

HEALTH SECRET

Anti-Aging Action. It's the latest revolution in skincare. Virtually every skincare line is factoring in the use of anti-oxidants like Vitamin C Esther and Vitamin E products to counter act the wrinkling and dry skin that comes with agent.

Look out for foods like melons, cantaloupes, strawberries, spinach, apples and almonds to snack on. This is a case of beauty really coming from the inside.

GAMBLING SECRET There are tons of really great gambling secrets at http://www.secretsource.com

Some machines have a larger house advantage than others -- slots that are oversized... have lots of neon lights... or elaborate mechanical features. Because they’re so expensive, they’re programmed to make the most money for the casino. Avoid these and play the more traditional machines. Play the machines in high traffic areas, these are often programmed to pay out more to attract more action from passers-by.

PRIVACY SECRET

You can learn lots more about privacy at http://www.secretsource.com and checking out the Investigative Secrets section

BIRTH DATE

While most people are careful with their Social Security numbers, many of us give out birth dates without a second thought. If someone wants to track you down -- a private investigator, a con man, an ex-lover -- you have just made it much easier for him/her.

Most people are listed in thousands of databases, compiled from medical records, divisions of motor vehicles, credit agencies, employment records, court records, Internet companies, etc. Not all of these records are secure.

If it is just your name in a database, it doesn't mean much -- there are probably many people who share your name. But combine that name with a date of birth, and the pool shrinks by more than 99% -- enough for any competent private investigator to find you.

Safer: Don't provide your date of birth. When you cannot avoid it, consider making some minor alteration to the date that can be called an innocent error if it is picked up later.

The personal information that is already in databases is there for good. The only "solution" is to move... get a new phone number... and never again allow your true name to be coupled with your true address, thus leaving only the old information in the databases.

BAR BET FOR THIS ISSUE

Make Money

Ask someone to lend you $20 to put in an empty matchbox, you then also put $20 in. (You must make this obvious that you have also put in $20) Say to them that you will sell them the matchbox for $30. Play up the patter here. $40 inside right? What a bargain, only $30 but you have to hurry, make up your mind.

Believing that they are in for a bargain (spending $30 to buy a $40 matchbox). But the trick is that because they already have put in $20 they are in fact losing $10. If they buy it, you win, if they don't, you win. Be a sport though, most will catch it unless you have a great patter and attitude.(In total they have spent $50 for a $40 matchbox, and you get $30 instead of the $20 you started with).
