They Keep Talking About "The Top 1%" of Households Income

If you are in the top 1% of household incomes - you are earning over $350,000 a year.

If you family makes over $167,000 - you are are in the top 5%.

We are not talking net worth here - we are talking about yearly "W-2" income.

More Notes From the FSU/UNC Game

Player's Mom sings National Anthem - Bernard James is a special young man. He dropped out of high school - got a GED - enlisted in the Air Force. Served 6 years including time in Iraq. He started playing basketball in the service - got offered a scholarship at FSU. Coach Hamilton asked his mom to sing when he saw her on YouTube. She did a fantastic job.

Though FSU has been bragging about a sellout - 12,100 seats - it was not true.

There were several superboxes - each holding maybe 30 seats - that were empty. I counted 6 boxes just across from us on the other side - let alone those behind me - and in the ends. All of them empty.

Tickets outside were cheap. I turned away a nice pair for $15 each. The two guys were in front of me and I chose the tickets in section A for $21 each instead of in section L for $15. There were a lot of people trying to sell printouts too. I doubt if anybody paid over face outside.

I can't blame the FSU fans. FSU lost 6 of the last 10 games - losing by 20 to Clemson - and it looked like they quit.

All in all - it was a great turnaround. You saw it all on HDTV. What you did not see was Barnard James's mother singing the national anthemn. Leonard Hamilton asked her to sing it after seeing her on youtube. She is tall - skinny - and pretty. And she really belted it out. The "12,100" really loved it.

Roy Williams was really scared for himself. He tried running off the court - even without the team. Then he remembered and came back for them. How do you justify pulling your "scholarship" players and leaving the walk-ons there to take the abuse. Also - the players leaving covering their heads - another coward's move. Martin Luther King says - I judge a man's character - not by when things are going good - but by when things are tough. Those Tar Heels acted like coddled cowards.

Now Roy Williams and Coach K have something in common. This is why they lobby to get a schedule that does not go to Tallahassee. Both of them have been run out of the Tucker Center before the game clock expired.

More photos and video coming.

FSU Pummels UNC Sends Them Running From Arena With 14 Seconds To Go - Heads Under Towels

The big black dot marks our seats - the arena was sold out - but we got seats outside for face value - $21.

This is the scene from our seats right before Carolina Coach Roy Williams removed his "stars" from the court - and ran out of the arena with 14 seconds left with their heads covered with towels. The Noles won 90-57 on national TV.

Last year on almost exactly the same date - Florida State beat the National Champion Duke Blue Devils sending the crowd storming onto the court. Lulu and I watched the game under the covers in a freezing motel room in Atlanta on our iphone. We missed getting home for the big game because weather stranded us in San Diego - then Atlanta. At that time I vowed that if this ever happened again - I was going to storm the court.

Yesterday - the Seminole let history repeat itself. It was a sellout crowd - the game was on national Gameday television. the whole world was watching it seemed. Everyone - including Lulu and I - expected the Noles to get embarrassed by the third ranked Tar Heels. Their lineup was filled with future NBA stars. But not his day - the Seminoles shined - leading from the very first basket and extending the lead to 33 at the very end. The Noles won 90-57 - and David Dulkys from Lithuania scored 33 points.

Students were lining up in the aisles with 5 minutes to go. Everyone wanted to be captured celebrating on national television - everyone except the Carolina Tar Heels. their heels were not stuck in the tars this time - as they ran from the court with towels on their heads with 14 seconds to go. Coach Roy Williams even took off ahead - almost leaving his team behind him in the dust. See my video - the coach was only worried about his own hide. The fans waited until the clock ran out - but the Tar Heels were long gone - as the entire arena seemed to stream onto the floor.

Lulu did not want to come along - she got some great camera shots from the safety of the stands. But after the action under the sheets in Atlanta last year - I was not going to miss this again. I ran onto the court with video camera running - hoping to make my own Zapruder film. The dream really happened - I got it on my SD-RAM card. Next Saturday Noles must go to Cameron to play the Dukes . And Lulu will be watching it in a hotel in Dallas.

Florida State Demolished Number 3 North Carolina 90-57 on GameDay National TV - We Were There - More Coverage Coming

Harry Note - Yes - we were at the game and yes I stormed the court and got some great video. We got great seats outside for face value for the sold out game for $21. More video and story coming later.

This is from the Tallahassee Democrat -

Hardly anyone gave the Florida State men's basketball team a chance to win Saturday afternoon against No. 3 North Carolina. And absolutely, positively nobody gave them a chance to win like this. Behind a sparkling performance from senior Deividas Dulkys, FSU trounced the Tar Heels 90-57 in front of a loud, sold-out, energetic crowd at the Civic Center. "When I got on the bench I looked and was like, 'Luke, are we really up 30?'" Dulkys said. As hard it was for anyone to believe, fellow senior Luke Loucks assured him they were. And Dulkys, of course, was a major reason why. The Lithuania native scored 16 points in each half to finish with a new career high of 32 points (on 12-of-14 shooting overall and 8-of-10 from 3-point range) in leading the Seminoles to yet another court-storming victory. The 33-point margin was the worst defeat under coach Roy Williams ever. And it just so happened to come with ESPN's "College GameDay" in town and Dick Vitale broadcasting the game to a national television audience. "It says an awful lot for our program to get that kind of level of exposure and be successful in it," said FSU coach Leonard Hamilton, whose team improved to 11-6, 2-1 in the ACC. The game was such a rout that the FSU students began lining up in the aisles to rush the floor with five minutes remaining. UNC coach Roy Williams took his scholarship players and coaches off the court with 14 seconds left to avoid the onslaught of students. FSU junior guard Michael Snaer knew it was coming too, and he made sure to enjoy it. Briefly." I've seen it, done it before," said Snaer, who finished with 17 points. "So as soon as the last horn went off, I went off running to the locker room. I saw them all rush the court, so I enjoyed it for a second. But last year I got caught in the middle and just the smell - beer and things — and being smothered … so this year I was like, 'Let me head off to the locker room.' " That's a veteran play. That's a veteran move. Unlike last year's court-storming victory, an upset of then-No. 1 Duke, there wasn't an ounce of drama in the final minutes this time around. The Seminoles had an eight-point lead at halftime and with five minutes gone in the second half it had ballooned to 21 on a Dulkys 3-pointer. At the 11:28 mark the lead was 30, and the Tar Heels (15-3, 2-1) never cut it closer than 22 the rest of the way. "In the past we've let a lot of teams stick around to the end and that's when they make us pay," Loucks said. "It wasn't time to let up. It wasn't time to stall. We had to step on the gas. "They wound up stepping on the Tar Heels' necks instead, obliterating a team that was ranked preseason No. 1 in the country. It was a jaw-dropping performance from an FSU team that a week ago had lost by 20 at Clemson. Carolina's Williams seemed genuinely stunned — like everyone else for that matter — when the game was over. "We had no answers for them on the court, I had no answers for them on the sideline," Williams said. "I did the worst job of coaching the team that I've ever done, worst job of preparing a team to play that I've ever done. I've got to do a heck of a lot better job than that. Though Dulkys was deservedly the headliner in the upset win, the vaunted Florida State defense was once again a major factor. The Seminoles held the nation's leading scoring team to just 57 points — 30 below their season average. North Carolina's trio of future NBA first-round draft picks scored 39 points, but Harrison Barnes was just 5 of 13 from the floor and John Henson was 0 for 7 from the free-throw line and received a technical foul midway through the second half. Though Tyler Zeller finished with 14 points (on 6-of-8 shooting) and 14 rebounds, the Carolina guards — specifically point guard Kendall Marshall — had a hard time finding the All-America candidates in the post. Marshall, who is second in the nation in assists, was guarded by Snaer for much of the game and finished with just four assists to go along with seven turnovers. "The type of player he is, he's so good that he's too confident," Snaer said. "He just thinks he's going to be able to dribble out there, pick it up and flip a pass. When he picked the ball up I tried to smother him every single time and he wasn't able to make those pin-point passes you've been seeing. "The Seminoles never stopped playing with energy because they knew quite well that the Tar Heels were capable of a comeback. We know what they're capable of," Dulkys said. "They're a very, very good team. We just played well today."

Home in Tallahassee

We left Honolulu at 6 PM Tuesday - and arrived in Tallahassee at 9 AM today. With a short stop in Atlanta - we spent a grand total of 9 hours in the air. The plane from Honolulu to Atlanta was full. The short hop to Tallahassee was half empty. More later.

Aloha To Hawaii

We are in our seats in our jet. We leave here at 10:45pm EST. it is 8.5 hours to Atlanta. It is sunny and clear here. We are in an Airbus 330. Lulu and I have two seat alone and to the right. We are just by the exit door.

The plane is full but they did not need any volunteer bumps.

Each seat has its own TV. I will put my new Bose earphones to good use.

Next contact - Atlanta in the morning.

Aloha and Mehalo.

Lulu Teaching From Honolulu

Lulu has her garnet and gold FSU Hawaii shirt on since she is teaching her FSU grad class at 1 PM HST - 6 PM EST. She paid $3 for the shirt over the weekend at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet.

If you look closely over Lulu's shoulder - you will see a sailboat flying the FSU garnet and gold colors.

We are lined up in our Waikiki condo at our computers - it is noon here - 5 PM back home. Lulu teaches a class today for FSU at 6 PM EST. This is the introductory class of the semester. She has students from all over the world working on their MLS - Master of Library Science - degree.

Yesterday - when we were taking our surfing lessons - we found out that the sister of the surfing instructor and videographer - is one of Lulu's students. Isn't that strange? His sister is getting ready to line up her internship. Lulu use to be in charge of assigning interns. The sister is in Pasadena.

Lulu's students are from all over the world and the United States. One of the benefits of taking courses online at FSU is that students pay in-state tuition rates. It is a chance to get an MLS from one of the top library science schools in the world.

If everything goes wrong - we leave here tomorrow - Tuesday - at 5:45 PM on an 8.5 hour long ride to Atlanta. If everything goes right - we get bumped from out flight - get a $1300 travel voucher - and fly home the next day. Wish us bad luck :-)

Surfer Girl Lulu and Beach Boy Harry - Did It - They Rode the Wild Waves of Waikiki

Greg Rose of Waterlogged Video Productions - Honolulu Lulu - and Jojo of Gone Surfing Hawaii. This was after 2 hours of surfing Sunday morning.

Greg Rose - our videographer - and surfing buddy - captured our big day in the waves. What a small world - turns out - his sister is one of Lulu's online students at FSU. She lives in Pasadena and Lulu planning to see her during our Rose Parade visit. Can you imagine that?

After 2 hours of surfing - exhausted Harry in front of Diamond Head on Waikiki Beach. He is covering his cherry belly from the beach walk on Friday.

For the last 50 year - Lulu and I - talked the talk of the surfing craze of the 60's. Now - with me in my 60's - I finally caught the wild surf in Hawaii. Son Drew gave us surfing lessons for Christmas and we walked the walk.

It started out at 10:30 with lessons lying on the beach - working on paddling - pointing the board - standing up - moving left and right - going faster and slower. Next we went out to where the waves were breaking.

55 Kailuana Place - Kailua - President Obama's Rental House

The house cost $9 million the last time it sold. It rents for $2500 to $3500 a day. It is on a one acre lot - has 5 bathrooms. It is available to the general public. It was purchased by a guy from Houston that bought it just to offer for rent. When he bought it he had no idea that the president would be staying there. He now has it for sale for $13 million.

55 Kailuana Place - We walked up to the end of the sand. President Obama had gone back to the White House. The house is listed for rent - by the day - week - or month.

Yesterday when Lulu and I walked the entire length of Kailua Beach - little did we know we were within a few yards of President Obama's Western White House. Every Christmas he rents the same house. It is not exactly along the water front - but about one house in from the sand. On the photo you can see where we walked to the end of the beach - I could have hit the house with a baseball.

When we were in Washington for Christmas with Keith and Drew on December 23rd - we saw President Obama being picked up by his helicopter to take him to the airport to fly to Hawaii. When we got here on Jan 3th - the president had just headed back to Washington. It seems that every time we arrive - there goes the neighborhood - the president leaves.

Day 7 - Aloha Stadium Swap Meet and Pacific Aviation Museum on ford Island in Pearl Harbor

This morning we compromised one two things. First we went to Lulu's favorite - the Aloha Stadium Swamp Meet - then we went to a military museum for me.

The Aloha Stadium is famous for two thing. First - it is a stadium where they can move the entire sections to make it into a baseball stadium or a football stadium. the sections glide on air. Second - the NFL has their Pro Bowl All-Star game there. But for Nancy - the best reason is that on Saturdays they have a giant swap meet that circles the stadium.

I did not see much "swapping" going on - more like a giant Hometown Auction - where come to think of it I did not see much "auctioning" going on. Both places have endless stands selling - tee shirts - bracelets - flip flops - towels - some foods - bikinis - shorts - etc.Lulu loves the variety and prices. I like the locals foods.

After the Aloha Stadium is was my turn. We made our first visit to the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island in the middle of Pearl Harbor. This museum opened recently in two of the hangars that we bombed and shot up by the Japanese during the Dec 7th raid on Pearl Harbor. They have a collection of airplanes and other historic items from WWII - plus a few later aircraft.

You catch a bus at the USS Arizona Monument and it takes you across the new bridge to Ford Island. Until recently - the only way to get to Ford Island was by boat or plane. It is very quiet on Ford Island. You are far away from the drone of city traffic. the wind masks out most of the other noises. You are alone with your thoughts - many of the surroundings remind you of the movies about Pearl Harbor and the attack.

After we returned to the mainland of Hawaii - we were actually on an island in an island - we visited the USS Arizona Memorial. You may re-call - the Arizona was a ship sunk in Pearl Harbor that went down so fast - 3000 people went to their grave with it. The battleship sits on the bottom - with a few parts sticking out of the water. Oil is still leaking into the water from the fuel tanks below. The oil forms spooky little rainbows on the water - almost like the ship is bleeding.

It is 3 PM over here right now - still plenty of day left - but I wanted to post this story.

Lulu loves the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet. The only swapping I saw was us giving them money and them giving us trinkets.

Aloha Stadium hosts the NFL Pro Bowl every year. They usually have it here - but had it once at Miami. The NFL wives insisted they have it here from now on.

This looks like an airport control tower. Really it is a water tower that was used to train submarine sailors to practice coming up form 50 feet deep in water.

This is an F-86 - the plane used in the Korean War.

The P-40 Flying Tiger was one of the few planes US planes in the air over Pearl Harbor. They shot down a few Japan Zeroes. There were still bullet holes in the glass in the doors behind the aircraft.

The USS Arizona Memorial is a bridge slunk over the ship's wreckage. It is a solemn place to honor the 3000 sailors that are entombed there. The Arizona was one of the first ships hit by the Japanese bombs. In the background is the tower on Ford's Island.

Day 6 - We Spent the Whole Day in Kailua Beach

This is Kailua Beach on the east shore of Oahu. This is where president Obama spends Christmas. We walked the beach up and back - 5 miles - just beautiful surf - sand - color - breezes - houses - and sun burn.

Kailua Beach is famous for two things. It is the Far West White House where President Obama likes to spend Christmas. It is also the town where the Kailua Elementary School is - the one that was selected the best in the state by Lulu's Vision Tour. To me - Kailua Beach is the nicest in the world. Too bad it is so far away.

We spent the whole day in Kailua Beach. First - we visited Darren Tanaka at his school library. It is over a year since he got the library award and we shared what life has been for him since then. He showed us some of his latest projects - like the garden outside the library door and the hatchery where they raise Tilapia fish.

Next we went to Buzz's Steak House right on the beach. Who would think that Hawaii is famous for steak houses. This is the third steak I have had here - cattle is the main money crop of the Big Island. This time is was a steak salad - but so far I have not paid more than $12 for a steak dinner.

After dinner - we walked to the beach. Lulu and I locked up all our toys in the car - no iPhones - no cameras - no wallets - nothing to lose but one car key. I promised Lulu two undivided hours on the beach - I even put sun tan lotion on my back. After the promised two hours - Lulu decided that we walk - we walked the entire beach from end to end and back - a total of 5 miles. It is such a beautiful beach - and the sun lotion protected me as I walked north. Unfortunately - the walk south was slower and my bare white belly turned to a bright red. The lowering of the sun did not help much - and it gave new meaning to the term cherry belly.

We piled into the car for the "short" 15 miles ride home. I expected traffic into Honolulu to be light at 5 PM - unfortunately - there was an Elton John concert in town which back up traffic on the two lane road.

So far - Lulu has laid out on beaches here - north - Wiamea Bay - west - Disney Aulani - south - Waikiki - and now east - Kailua Beach.

Today - it is the Aloha Bowl Swap Meet and the Pacific Air Museum (Tora Tora Tora). Tomorrow are the surfing lesson with Honolulu Lulu.

Back in 1988 - I paid $2500 for my first Mac - like this one. The kids at Kailua turned it into a first bowl.

Just outside the Kailua Elementary Library - Darren Tanaka's students have a garden and raise Tilapia - a fresh water food fish.

Imagine going to school in January to a school like this. A beautiful breeze - temperature in the high 70s - tropical plants grow everywhere like weeds - shorts and sandals are the norm.

This was sunset last night when we got home to our condo from Kailua. The sun smiled at me after giving me the gift of a cherry belly memory.

Blue - that is our condo in Waikiki - Green - that is Pearl Harbor where Japan attacked us in 1941 - Purple - that is Honolulu Harbor where the whales swam into town - Orange - Disney Aulani Resort - Black - Dole Pineapple Plantation - Yellow - Waimea Bay where we saw 20 foot waves - Red - Kailua Beach - my vote for best beach in the world.

Let’s Welcome Visitors From Brazil

Harry's Note - Glenn Cooper wrote this in the Tallahassee Democrat today. Lulu and I went to Brazil in November 2011. A visa to enter Brazil cost us $150 each. When I asked why - they said the USA charges them - so they charge us. he only other country I have paid to enter is Cuba. In 2001 - according to our country - we sneaked into Cuba. Cuba said we were welcome if we just paid for a $20 entry stamp - and spent a couple hundred dollars there. Brazil is a booming country - it is rich and growing richer every year by 6%. It is time to treat them as partners.

People from Brazil are eager to visit Florida and the U.S., but we’re not making things easy for them. It’s time that we did.

More than a mil­lion Brazil­ians visited Florida in 2010, and they spent about $1.4 billion while they were here. That puts Brazilians very high on the fans-of-Florida list. For example, the United King­dom sent 1.3 million peo­ple to the Sunshine State in that same year, but the Brits spent only about half the money that the Brazil­ians left behind in Florida.

We shouldn’t for­get about our very best friends, the Canadians.

Canada sends more visi­tors to Florida than any other country, and Canadi­ans spend more than any other foreign visitors, as well.) But here’s an important factor to keep in mind: If the U.S. government would make a relatively simple and easy adjustment to its policies, the number of Brazilians coming here to visit would expand sig­nificantly. The U.S. would benefit from that change.

Brazil would benefit. And Florida would see an almost immediate and dra­matic increase in visitors from that country.

The change involves visa requirements.

People now living in 36 foreign lands can visit the U.S. without having to obtain visas. Unfortunate­ly, we have not extended that privilege to Brazil­ians. (Brazil also requires visas when Americans vis­it their country. That poli­cy needs to be changed, as well.) The U.S. maintains only four consulates in Brazil, a country roughly the same geographic size as the U.S. If you are a Brazilian who wants to visit the U.S., you must visit one of those consulates, a requirement that may involve travel­ing many miles. Also, you must make an appoint­ment to visit the consulate, and the waiting period can exceed 100 days. For some Brazilians, this lengthy, expensive and difficult process is simply too much; it prevents many Brazilians from realizing their dream of a visit to the U.S.

Dropping the visa requirement by provid­ing a visa waiver to Brazil could double the number of Brazilian tourists who come here, Florida tour­ism officials estimate.

That could mean an addi­tional $1 billion in spend­ing by Brazilian visitors in Florida, money the Flor­ida economy desperately needs.

The visa issue doesn’t apply only to tourists.

Brazil’s economy has been expanding at a rapid rate for the past 10 years.

It is a major trading part­ner for both the U.S. and the state of Florida.

Here are some econom­ic facts:

Brazil is the largest economy in South Ameri­ca, in the world.

and the seventh-largest

Brazil’s total trade with the U.S. in 2010 totaled $59 billion; $13.9 billion of that was with South Florida.

South Florida is the home of 15 Brazilian mul­tinational companies, including Odebrecht Con­struction, Banco do Bra­sil, and Embraer Aircraft Holdings.

The Port of Miami serves 14 Brazilian ports, and Miami International Airport offers flights to and from six Brazilian cit­ies.

Some Americans may feel a sense of discomfort over Brazil’s increasing power and influence. But the U.S. would be better able to influence Brazil­ian policies if the econom­ic and social relationship between the two countries were stronger, something that a visa waiver could bring about. Since Brazil holds about $160 billion in U.S. bonds, it is very inter­ested in America’s future financial health.

Glenn Cooper is a part­ner with the statewide law firm of Fowler White Boggs, P.A.. His practice focuses on assisting foreign companies and investors with the legal and immigration aspects of establishing and maintain­ing business and investment in Florida.

to Brazil early in 2011 for discussions with Bra­zilian President Dilma Rousseff. This past fall, Florida Gov. Rick Scott led a weeklong, 200-person trade mission to Brazil.

While these gestures were important, we won’t be successful if we ask people to do business with us and invest in our coun­try while putting obsta­cles in their path. Remov­ing the visa barrier would stimulate visitors to our country, would encourage Brazilian trade and invest­ment in Florida, and would send a strong signal that the U.S. values its relation­ship with Brazil.

Best of all, it wouldn’t cost us a dime.

Whales in Honolulu Harbor Yesterday

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Endangered humpback whales made another rare visit inside Honolulu Harbor late Thursday night.

The captain of "The Henry Senior" reported two juvenile male whales followed him into the harbor around 11 p.m.

Witnesses say they were last spotted around 5 a.m. Friday near Pier 30. TheCoast Guard and other observers looked for the whales from land, air and sea at sunrise, with no luck.

Regardless, news of the whales in the harbor attracts the public to come out. This is the second appearance of the whales at the harbor.

On Thursday, a mother and her juvenile spent about seven hours thrilling spectators before leaving at around 2 p.m.

"We saw on the news last night that there were two whales here and it just looked so beautiful we thought maybe we'd see them again this morning," Margaret Gray said. "So we were hoping to see them again."

"I think nature is great, the way it brings everybody together, and I think especially for an area like this it's amazing to look out here and see everything," Ireland native Linda Nicholson said. "So, fingers crossed that we see something exciting today."

Harry Note - I drove right by this action yesterday but missed it.

This Could Only Happen in Tamaqua - This is My Hometown

A Rush Township police car sits outside Tamaqua Area High School on Thursday afternoon.

TAMAQUA - A 1 1/2-year-old child carrying a toy gun forced an uneasy situation Thursday afternoon at Tamaqua Area High School.

Police from Tamaqua and Rush Township responded to the incident, which occurred just before the Tamaqua-Pottsville varsity swim meet. Swimmers, coaches, officials and fans were kept in the pool area under lockdown for several minutes until the incident was resolved. No one was hurt.

"A grandparent made the mistake of allowing his grandson to bring a toy gun into the school," Tamaqua Area Superintendent Carol Makuta said. "Someone saw it and the police were contacted. They immediately responded, identified the person and handled it effectively and efficiently."

Disney Aulani Resort in Hawaii

On the western tip of Oahu sits the latest Disney property. It is a large destination resort. It has golf - restaurants - pools - the beach - but not much of anything else. We drove about 30 miles from Waikiki to be here. It provided a very sterile Hawaiian experience - I can't imagine coming here without all the culture and thrills of Honolulu. Rooms start at $400 a night versus our full condo in downtown Waikiki for $100 a night.

It is about one hour until sunset here - you have a nice clear view of the western sky. All the Hawaiian Island have a wet side and a dry side - windward and leeward. This is definitely the dry side - not a cloud in the sky. There is plenty of wind - but it is very dry - a chinook. Parking here is $35 - but if you spend some money here - you get the ticket validated. Guess where we will have supper tonight.

This video and story are sent directly from my phone to my blog - errors and all.

Added later - we could not get an early reservation for dinner at Disney - so we had the desk validate our parking for free - and went to a Japanese restaurant less than a mile away and had supper. I had a prime rib and 4 giant shrimp dinner for $12.

Blogging From Overseas

Hi Doris - 

Internet is expensive on the ship. So keep your air time to a minimum.

Write your stories as an email ahead of time - have it ready when you find free wifi on shore somewhere. We have been lucky to find free internet all over the world. McDonalds has it free everywhere - so do many hotels in the lobby. 

With blogger - you can set up an email. What ever you send to that email address goes straight onto your web page - pictures and all. the subject line of the email is the headline.

Look at the lady in the bikini behind Lulu. She has guts.

As an example - I am going to send this email to you and to my web page. I will not tell you that specific email address or you would hijack my web page. Someone did that once.

Go to my web page and read this post.
