Is it true that ice in the Antarctic is melting?
Evidence suggests that it is. According to Andrew Shepherd
of the British Antarctic Survey, satellite data collected
from 1992 to 1999 show that the Pine Island Glacier, a
twenty-mile-wide river of ice, is thinning faster than
expected. The glacier is thought to be especially vulnerable
to climatic changes. If the current rate continues, the
glacier will be floating within 600 years, which would
sharply increase sea levels around the world. The scientists
say they do not know whether global warming is playing a
role in the melting of the ice.
How fast can glaciers move?
Glaciers can attain speeds approaching 200 feet a day. A
slow glacier moves less than three feet a day.

STRANGE BITS AND PIECES!
The original meaning of the word grocer was referring to a
person who traded food in wholesale. These people would
usually sell in large quantities, or by the "gross."

OPTIMIZE LIFE NOW™ ... with Dr. Rhoberta Shaler
------------------------------------
Your 168 Hours
In every week you have 168 hours to use as you wish. Do you
really know how you spend them? A general idea of what you
do with your time is not nearly as instructional as a clear
understanding. Here is an exercise to help you clarify.
Take a letter-size piece of paper and draw a large circle on
it. To the right of the circle, write these words in a
vertical list: family, career, grooming, sleep, exercise,
driving, community, household, recreation, time alone...add
any that are important to you. Now, beside each item, put
the number of hours in an average week that you spend on it.
When you are done, change those numbers into a percentage of
your 168 hours/week. Now, to really make an impact, make a
pie graph in the circle of the ways you spend your time.
If, by any chance, you simply read the above paragraph
without doing the exercise, and are now reading this, STOP!
Nothing changes until you do. If you do not know how you
spend your time, you will not receive the full benefit of
the ideas in this article. It is not enough to be saying to
yourself, "I know that I need more time for ______." If
that is so this exercise will help you find it. Please,
won't you go back and make the chart now? (This may be one
of the ways you short-change yourself in your daily life.
You may not give yourself time to do the good and beneficial
things that you know would improve your life. Is that a
pattern for you?)
Once you have your pie divided, ask yourself if the graph
well represents the importance of each item to you at this
time in your life. You may have to have quite a conversation
with yourself to determine this. Remember, there are not
any right answers...just right answers for you!
If you find that your graph fits your priorities, you will
be experiencing contentment. If not, you may want to make
some adjustments.
ALWAYS REMEMBER----WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO EXPANDS!

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - - by Karin Henderson
Your Immune System: Delicate Yet Critical
How It Serves You And Why You Need To Keep It Healthy
Why a carrot is good and a chocolate bar is not...
PART 1 of 9
The immune system also plays a crucial role in your ability to
weather exposure to parasites, bacteria, viruses, toxins, and
other hazards that interact daily with your body. Your body's
struggle against disease is played out twenty four hours a day,
seven days a week, in each and every individual cell. Your
immune system meets innumerable challenges and overcomes
countless enemies throughout your lifetime.
Although your Immune System is seen to be completely supportive,
it does have a negative component. This it the "auto-immune"
activity. This occurs when the body doesn't appear to like
itself and tries to attack its own cells, as in the case of
lupus or scleroderma. There is controversy about its possible
existence, cause, and treatment. Traditional treatment calls for
more chemicals, resulting in more free radicals. Are you
beginning to see the connections? There are children who have a
very limited (compromised) immune system. They have to spend
their entire lives in very protective environments so as to
avoid exposure to potential life-threatening organisms.
How would you overload or cause your immune system to
malfunction? Simply by using up its supply of antioxidants at a
rate higher than what your body is being supplied with. In other
words, what you eat doesn't supply enough nutrients to power the
system consistently or adequately. So the carrot you eat,
provides some antioxidants. The chocolate bar you snack on
provides elements that the body wants to get rid of, especially
sugars.
Unfortunately, you are not the only contributor to "neglect" in
your body. Other situations that add to this deterioration are
chemicals, and irritants such as molds, pollens, etc. These are
not natural to your body. They may be common, but they are not
"of the body". They may be going into your body, on it, or being
inhaled. Your eyes, nose, throat, skin, etc. are all entry
points. They are those unpleasant "noxious" smells you breathe,
your headache medication, your calorie-reduced drinks, surgery
and all its related drugs, some types of fillings in your teeth,
the implants in your bones, the fluorescent lights in your
environment...the list goes on. They all contribute to this
unwanted demand in your body. And what about the unnatural
amount of salt or the preservatives you find in your prepared
foods that enhance taste, freshness, and appearance. (We ask for
them because we want our foods to look great and be tasty.)

PERCEPTIONS . . . by Ken Darby
-----------------------DISCLAIMER
Some around me think I am an opinionated old goat.
Whether that be true or not I will sometimes, in this column,
talk about things people don't like to talk about - or don't want
out in the open. Take it all with a grain of salt.
Do your own thinking, and don't accept the things I say as
gospel. They are only mental meanderings from a simple soul.

Prophecies All Over The Place
Well, I just read a chapter of a new book based on
“newfound” writings of Nostrodamus. If you guys think I’m a
pessamist about what is going on in the world you should
read what this book has to say. Oh well, the truth is we all
know things are about to change.
This particular book writes about a combination of global
warming, natural calamity and catastrophic events upsetting
the social fabric of the world setting the stage for world
war and rule by one man. Does any of that sound familiar?
I see writings today, in several places, the scientific
world now predicts the ice cap will be gone from the Arctic
by the year 2040. I’m going to suggest that will happen far
sooner than that and that it will spawn all sorts of other
conditions we don’t want. The ice is melting away areas the
size of Alaska each decade. That means that water will take
on more heat from the sun than the ice did and the whole
thing will appear to function almost like perpetual motion.
Nothing will stop it.
I think we will not only see flooding of low lying coastal
areas from this condition but we will see geophysical
balance problems that will force earthquakes, volcanoes and
other catastrophes to happen as the earth regains balance.
It has been a very long time since I have made the
suggestion you buy the books The Saga Of Pinehill Books I
and II. Therein you will find the way you can survive this
future that is being thrust upon us. I’m serious folks. This
is the time to commence preparation for you and your
families, long before your daily actions are dictated by the
changes global warming bring upon us.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Damocles' Sword: How did the expression "Damocles' sword"
come to represent impending danger?
It's an allusion to an ancient legend. Dionysius the Elder
was a clerk who seized the throne of Syracuse. Damocles was
one of his courtiers who envied him his power and his
wealth. so Dionysius invited Damocles to share his luxurious
life for an evening. the two sat down to a rich banquet -
but over the head of Damocles there was hung a sword
suspended by a single thread. When Damocles complained that
he couldn't enjoy the food at all because he was afraid the
sword would fall Dionysius said, "Under such a threat do I
enjoy my wealth and power."

HA! HA! HA!
A woman was out golfing one day when she hit her ball into
the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found
a frog in a trap.
The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I
will grant you 3 wishes."
The woman freed the frog and the frog said, "Thank you, but
I failed to mention that there was a condition to your
wishes (naturally) -that whatever you wish for, your husband
will get 10 times more or better!"
The woman said, "That would be okay," and for her first
wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the
world.
The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will
also make your husband the most handsome man in the world,
an Adonis, that women will flock to."
The woman replied, "That will be okay because I will be the
most beautiful woman and he will only have eyes for me."
So, KAZAM - she's the most beautiful woman in the world!
For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in
the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the
richest man in the world and he will be ten times richer
than you. " The woman said, "That will be okay because what
is mine is his and what is his is mine."
So, KAZAM she's the richest woman in the world!
The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she
answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack."
