(Via email:)
G'day, for introduations my name is Mark Schaad and I operate a rather unique small business here Tasmania (Australia). I am a Boomerang Instructor ie. I teach people how to throw and catch boomerangs. I love my job, seeing it literally as a walk in the park, and if you do it right you don't even have walk! My tallent is that as soon as someone throws a boomerang I know where it is going to land and (more importantly) what to say to that person so that s/he gets it back closer to them next time. My main demand has come from; international tourists, school demonstrations, local councils as part of youth week and the curious public. I am now starting to offer my services to organizations rather than individuals.
Recently I have been over to Aukland as part of the trans-tasman masters games. My job there was to facilitate the instruction of the boomerang and then to hold a competition near the end of the games. It was presented as a fun event in which atheletes could "have a go" at something they have not tried before, bringing me to the point of this correspondence.
I am looking for enthuiastic support in creating enough demand over there in the U.S.A., to facilitate the supply of two boomerang instructors from Australia. We can teach up to 60 people/day but would of course be happy to offer tuition on a more exclusive basis, that all depends on what can be arranged. We are ultimately looking to be "owned" by some obscure celebrity elite as their exclusive Boomerang Instructor(s); a social accessory that I'm sure almost no one else has! I am sending this letter out to a number of people "over there" as my services compliment such a wide area. The best offer will have us exclusively for the duration of a contract. If you feel that I've got the wrong department and you know a person/company who might fit the bill please send this on and I'll make sure you get a lesson and boomerang (as commision) on arrival. For any questions (except am I crazy), or for an e-copy of my pamphlette please reply e-mail: returnoftheboomerang@yahoo.com.
Many happy returns, Mark Schaad (Boomerang Instructor).
(Thanks to Kathy!)

Bodelin ProScope CSI used on 'CSI'
High-tech gadget used by TV cops, real cops and first graders
SEATTLE, Nov. 29, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Bodelin Technologies, makers of the ProScope handheld USB digital microscope, have shipped the CBS-TV series "CSI: NY" its own ProScope CSI kit, at the request of the production company, to be used in filming. The ProScope kit has long been a mainstay of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "CSI: Miami" because of its actual use by federal, state and municipal forensic
investigators worldwide. The great success of the "CSI" series of dramas has given rise to a new interest in investigative science study in the K-12 classroom. Over 89,000 schools all over the world from first grade to universities use this same ProScope kit in science studies. Apple Computer now carries the ProScope kit in its science education bundles complete with CSI curriculum.
Even before the huge popularity of the "CSI" series, the ProScope has been heralded in dozens of technical reviews with the highest ratings -- the November issue of Wired TEST gave the ProScope kit five out of five. Look for the ProScope in upcoming episodes of "CSI", "CSI:Miami," "CSI: NY" or in your neighborhood school science lab.
Review samples are available.

THE FINAL FIVE CANDIDATES SWEETEN UP TO CANDY GIANT M&M'S(r) ON NBC'S "THE APPRENTICE" (DECEMBER 2, 9-10PM ET)
NEW YORK-December 1, 2004 - M&M's join forces with Donald Trump and NBC's "The Apprentice" as the final five candidates create and sell a new candy bar (December 2, 9-10pm ET). "Anybody that knows me unfortunately knows that I love chocolate," says Donald Trump. And chocolate is definitely in abundance when the final five arrive at the M&M factory to mass produce the new "M-azing" bar. Candidates can only sell what they can produce and only if their product passes quality control.
Once armed with approved cases of "M-azing" bars, candidates have one day to sell the candy on the streets of New York. Both teams find unique ways of using sex to sell but their styles clash. One team has a major disagreement on pricing strategy. Back in the boardroom, Carolyn steals the show with a passionate plea to the candidates and Trump narrows the gap to four.
