Service Name: There's two sides to every coin...
So far, so good. You came to the IASL to learn. [..and to every door.]

-- -- Flip your coin. -- Heads you win, tails you lose. What are the odds? - It's 50-50. How can you double your money? --> Take the bills out of your pocket and fold them over..and put them back into your pocket [wallet or purse] for safe keeping.

-- You think that this is funny or just plain stupid (what was just said), do you? -- Let me tell you what's really stupid for you to do, "Gamble with the Big Boys." Those guys who've 'been around' and can spot a stand-out sucker--AND YOU MAY BE IT -- THAT DUMB HE OR SHE. -- -- THIS BEARS REPEATING!! BIG BAD BOYS

:-- So far, so good. You came to the IASL to learn. It's a good thing. We're honest.
-- Go To: "Nondisclosure (Confidentiality) Agreements"

-- That coin has multiplied in this game of "Invention." -- Your small penny's value grew to one-hundred dollars, the nickel is now five-hundred dollars and the dime is now worth a thousand dollars. Do you still want to get into our 'friendly' poker game?
-- You will 'anti-up' and 'sweeten the pot' with YOUR BIG-TIME $$ REAL MONEY.

-- "The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong."

"Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- A common tactic used by unscrupulous invention development organizations is to routinely file a Design Patent Application on behalf of the inventor, without regard to whether a Design Patent is the best protection for the invention. They do this because in addition to having a lower filing fee, Design Patents are easier and less costly to draft than a Utility Patent Application.

-- You may be that 'Big Sucker' if you don't learn the lessons of the Big Players. Some have written books long ago. Some are selling you their 'system to win.' Some are on their lecture tour offering you Tahiti, Utopia, Shangrila, Nirvana, Creve Coeur, etcetera. [Etcetera is truly a fabulous place, so take that one ;-] READ THEIR BOOKS. You'll find them scattered throughout our IASL website(s).

-- "Thought of the day:
"Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done."

-- "When raising capital, beware of the 'advance fee' scheme" --

--> "Lottery Number Picker"

-- Gold was deregulated in 1968. Before then it was valued at $35.00 an once. September 2005 it was $458 an ounce; then in December, $540.90, April, 2006, over $608, and January 2007, $645.70 an ounce. By November 1, 2007, Gold reached $800 an ounce. January 5, 2008; $868.00

-- "TreasureNet (tm) - The Original Treasure Hunting Website" -- July 7, 2008
-- Gold = $925.80 oz -- Silver = $17.79 oz

"If you're going to think anyway, you might as well think big." -- Donald Trump -- -- In 1849 and thereabouts, America was overtaken with the 'Goldrush Fever.' Just about every able body that felt lucky set out. -- Gambling on Striking GOLD! --
-- "Pardner, we're agonna stake our doggone chances an mosey out across that thare wide prairie ta 'Hit Paydirt!' - Cause I feel I'm agonna git RICH!" --
-(Pilgrim, hear me out, this cuduvbinsed by big John Wayne?)

-- Yes, I guess that YOU would have been one of those gold seekers if you had lived in them-thare-days?

-- But now we have to deal with discovery in these times, in the 21st Century. --

-- - THERE'S MONEY IN INVENTING - --

-- "If you're going to think anyway, you might as well think big." -- Donald Trump

-- "Creating Winning Inventions and Successful New Products" --

-- You have a big advantage; the pathway has been worn down for you to follow--but there are those who drift off this path to be devoured by the wolves, the polecats and mean critters, bitten by sidewinders and left to die a hopeless death.

-- Carcusses lying buried under piles of rocks. Their family back home left crying, "Why did he do this? Didn't he know? Didn't he have any warnings? Couldn't he have prepared himself? -- And look at us now, his poor family, too poor to go on. Why us, oh--why me?" Sob..sob..sob.

"Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end; then stop." -- -- Shape up or ship out! Your parents didn't raise any stupid kids. Or did they?

-- -- "There is nothing in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and he who considers price only is that man's lawful prey." -- John Ruskin

-- -- Dar's gold 'n dem-dar hilz -- n' dee 'N-ven-tarz So-she-a-shun uv Sane-Lewus haz dee inventors gold-waybillfur-ya t-fynd et. - Jes' git yar ass tigethur an' folloe aur leed. Y'awl hear? - Yu-awl iz acummon wid-us!! [See --> -->]

-- "Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end; then stop." -- Alice's Adventure in Wonderland; Lewis Carroll

--> --> [Oops, fergit t'tellya - 'n ass iz a donkey er pack-mule. Ya pack yur campin gear onem. - Wa-didja thunk I ment?] -->

Additional Notes: -- -- One of my very best of friends, William "Bill" Young, who once attended 99% of the IASL's Meetings to August 2007, back to way before I became President, is now staying home and caring for his aged parents. An excellent Programmer by trade (who has helped me enormously in creating this website), is offering the Inventors Association of St. Louis' Members a link to our monthly IASL Meetings. -- Bill and I are still virtually linked by Internet.

-- It's lonesome out there where Bill is on his website. Would you please sign in with your URL and he will connect you back to our main Home Page -- and give you a one-week announcement for the upcoming IASL Meeting. -- It'll cheer Bill up and make him happy ;-)) (As happy as when Bill provided us this puzzle while waiting for the Meeting :-)
