After
a long absence in pointing to outside news,
I have a STORY of the DAY!
The
story was found on CNN/MONEY page, and here
it is:
1.3M penny collection turns into jackpot
A man from Alabama sets a new record for largest
ever single cash-in of pennies totaling $13,084.59.
June 23, 2005: 5:02 PM EDT
Edmond Knowles and 38 years' worth of pennies
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Benjamin Franklin once
said a penny saved is a penny earned, but he
probably didn't think of saving over a million
of them.
But Edmond Knowles did. The manager of Ed's
Service Station broke the record of the largest
ever single cash-in of pennies with 1,308,459,
or $13,084.59.
Knowles had the pennies delivered to Escambia
County Bank in Flomaton, Ala. where the bank's
Coinstar (Research) machine processed the change
in over seven hours.
The collection broke Coinstar's existing record
for the most pennies cashed-in by a customer.
The previous Coinstar record was 1,048,013 pennies,
or $10,480.13, set in November 2004 in Barberton,
Ohio.
Knowles
said he started his collection, which weighed
more than 4.5 tons, because he appreciated
the value of a penny. "It takes pennies
to make money. They're worth something or they
wouldn't make them," he said.
But
now after 38 years, he said he's tired of Lincoln
heads. "No, I don't ever want to
see another penny... perhaps I'll collect a few
dimes."
Knowles, 62, started collecting to create his
own retirement fund to supplement his social
security and kept the pennies in four 55-gallon
and three 20-gallon oil barrels in his garage.
Knowles said he plans to use the new found wealth
for retirement, home repairs and emergency medical
expenses.
According
to Coinstar, there's more than $10.5 billion
in loose change sitting idle in American
homes.

of story: Interesting stuff!
Ok, now other important network items. Below
is the press release for the Maxsimo Card.
Maxsimo.com
Discount Listing Press Release.
-------START
HEADER: WHEN?
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RE: Deployment of Maxismo.com Network of Applications
28th of JUNE 2005
Herndon,
Virginia, USA.
http://www.maxsimo.com
-------END
HEADER
Once again, I need to focus on the "What?" expect
of the press release as it will be detailing
the bulk of the information that the reader needs
to know.
--------WHAT?
The
main product of maxsimo.com is the listing
service of discount offers.
What
is a discount offer? It is an offer by a Merchant
saying that when you the Member of Maxsimo.com
visit my store, my online mall, you as a Member
will get a discount.
That
is it. From this point the type of discount
and the Terms and Conditions of the offer can
vary greatly.
By
entering Maxsimo.com as a seller, anyone one
can create a listing. Even Members are allowed
to create a listing that offer other Members
of our network a discount.
Here
are some of the elements of a discount offer
to the Members:
1. Discount amount or percentage off.
2. Start date for the offer and an end date.
3. Name for the offer.
4. More information about the discount offer.
5. Location for the offer -City or Town to
Postal Code.
6. Four complete sets of key words.
7. Two locations for the offer on our directory.
And lastly an authentication page for the offer.
The authentication page is a validation that
the offer is real. Obviously, anyone can log
on to the system and pretend to be any merchant.
However,
with our authentication system no offer can
get published without an authentication done
on the offer. That means that the offer is actually
presented on the offerer's web site or place
of business.
That feature must be setup correctly or the
offer will be rejected by our viewers who monitor
the listings.
Another feature of maxsimo.com is the directory
management system where sellers who are part
of the network can approve and disapprove the
listings starting at STEP 3 of the network. As
they climb the STEPS of SUCCES they have more
rights to even add directory areas, delete incorrect
areas and such.
The way the decision making process works is
like this: Once a change is made, the sponsor
has to approve the change. In every case, the
sponsor of the seller has to approve the event
or the change does not get automatically approved
to go on the directory.
THE
POWER OF THE SYSTEM:
The power of the listing and allied ADMIN services
is in the ability of the network to link from
the directory to any type of Affiliate Program.
The
result is that owners of such links can enter
them into the system and offer a discount to
Maxsimo.com Members. Often this means that
the Member or reseller in our system has to
point to an affiliate link that has a promotion
of some type on the retailer.
For
example, many merchants have monthly or even
weekly specials that can be highlighted as
a SPECIAL OFFER thru the listings in the Maxsimo.com
discount directory.
Through
such listings, our goal is to create the worlds'
largest directory of discount offers.
What
this means for you is that the service allows
our resellers to setup several revenue generating
streams working with the network and
directory.
To
get your revenue stream started, just follow
the below link to Maxsimo.com!
------------END
of WHAT?
------------Why?
Why setup links from Maxsimo.com?
The
maxsimo.com model is to become a niche search
engine that
features discount offers to Members. Just about
all aspects of the network are free. Membership
is even free.
The
service aims to link discount offers with members
looking for such services, WORLD WIDE.
This
gives our resellers the opportunity to reach
such members who are already looking for products
and services within the system for their purchasing
needs.
The
end result is that is that by using the various
tools, services and applications you can build
your business while we help our members save
money.
------WHO?
The
Maxsimo™ network powering applications
that help everyone save money, work smarter
and live better. The Maxsimo.com network has
a set of tools and applications that help any
seller -Merchant, business person, home-based
business person and Entrepreneurs worldwide
reach their customers at a lower cost. Started

has a directory managed by Sellers. It also
provides a way for Sellers to reach our Member
base with a money saving offer at a fixed cost,
allowing sellers to sell directly to our members

Update: Wednesday, 29-Jun-2005 4:01 PM
Once again circumstances with Associates working
with the programming led to a 'mindset' breakdown.
The endless testing and correcting
and a lack of timely delivery have conspired
to bring down my stamina and general cheery
demeanor.
It has been exhausting.
Take for example the listings.
I have tested them about 30 times now and each
time there is a mistake or an enhancement that
has to be fractured in.
All this take time. All this
takes time away from my normal, day-to-day
tasks. And that is part of the problem. The
programmer involved in these tasks does not
understand what all this does to the time-line
that was factored in over 6 months ago. Nor
does he seem to care for all I can gather.
Some characters in the programming
side of life seem to work in their own word
and their own timeliness and I am stuck with
one like that for this moment.
Anyway, I'll make sure all the
items are done and done correctly.
At this time the listings are
live, but still have to be tested several time
before I can truly let them loose.
Sam out.
