How did Bugs Bunny get his name?
Bugs Bunny was created in 1936 by a group of Warner Bros.
artists, including Chuck Jones. However, original sketches
for the character were submitted by a Warner story man named
Ben Hardaway. Ben's nickname was "Bugs," and he marked his
bunny sketches "Bugs Bunny."
What is "Chinese ink"?
It's what the French call "India ink," and is, actually, the
more accurate name for the black liquid pigment, used often
for printing and drawing. What WE call "India ink"
originated in China, not India.

Asia's greenhouse gas 'to treble'
India and China will be the main Asian greenhouse offenders
Asia's greenhouse gas emissions will treble over the next 25
years, according to a report commissioned by the Asian
Development Bank (ADB).
The report provides detailed analysis of the link between
transport and climate change in Asia.
It says that its estimate of future levels of greenhouse gas
could even be an optimistic assessment.
Air pollution and congestion will seriously hamper the
ability to move people and goods effectively, it warns.
'Partnerships required'
The report, Energy Efficiency and Climate Change:
Considerations for On-Road Transport in Asia, says that Asia
currently has low levels of personal motorized transport,
which in many cases are motorcycles.
But it says that these levels are likely to increase
significantly as incomes in these countries grows and the
urban population becomes bigger.
The report points out that China is already the world's
fourth largest economy, and the number of cars and utility
vehicles could increase by 15 times more than present levels
to more than 190 million vehicles over the next 30 years.
People in Asia are moving from four wheels to two
In India, traffic growth is likely to increase by similar
levels over the same time period, the report says.
Carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles could rise 3.4 times
for China and 5.8 times for India.
"Progress toward reducing the growth of greenhouse gases
from the transport sector will require partnerships and
involvement of a wide range of stakeholders," Bindu Lohani,
director-general of the ADB's sustainable development
department, wrote in the foreword to the report.
He said that addressing these problems would mean "changing
existing travel behaviour patterns and modifying urban
development patterns to minimize the type, length, and
frequency of trips that people need to take".
Last month, the British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett
urged India to help in efforts to tackle climate change.
She made the call ahead of a report commissioned by the
British government which said that rich nations must act now
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
'Costing cities'
Meanwhile a conference in Indonesia has heard that while
some Asian governments should be praised for toughening
vehicle emissions standards, with many phasing out leaded
gasoline, much work still needs to be done.
Experts say there should be more emphasis on buses and
trains
"Transport is growing faster in most cities so transport
emissions are a big part of the problem," Lew Fulton, a
transport expert with the UN Environmental Programme, told
the three-day Better Air Quality Conference 2006 in the city
of Yogyakarta.
"We're not only seeing increases in pollutant emissions.
We're seeing huge increases in fuel consumption which is
coupled tightly with (carbon dioxide) emissions," he said.
"It's costing cities and countries ever increasing amounts
of foreign exchange with the high oil prices that we've
got."
The World Health Organization said increased pollution in
Asia is estimated to cause as many as 537,000 premature
deaths each year, as well as a rise in cardiopulmonary and
respiratory illnesses.

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 9 of 9
Most research concludes that the restoration and maintenance of
your healthy body depends strongly on your nutritional and
lifestyle choices. Become aware of the connection of all these
factors. Educate yourself about "oxidative stress". (An ongoing
overabundance of free radicals in an inadequate amount of
anti-oxidants.) In this day of pollution, pesticides,
fertilizers, preservatives, etc., it is very difficult to avoid
free radicals. So you have to prepare to overcome them instead.
You have just read of some of the different ways these chemicals
come into your body. Open your eyes to the world around you. Do
you now see the need for "nutritional" supplementation: complete
and balanced? And as you probably (like me) won't know how to
create this balanced set of nutrients, find yourself someone who
does. Know that Recommended Daily Allowances RDA's are the
minimum requirements. For a healthy and empowering lifestyle,
you need far more than that: you need "optimum" nutrition.

HOW TO CHOOSE A NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT:
A "Multivitamin" Safely And Wisely
When it comes to your well being, there are no guarantees.
However, the daily decisions you make may have a tremendous
effect on the outcome of your overall health. The better your
nutritional status, the better all systems, including your
immune system will be. (I am sure you have heard of people who
can't heal or heal quickly. This is the reason.) Commit today to
taking the necessary steps towards giving your body the best
possible defenses against disease. Health is not just the
absence of disease: it is the empowering of your body to perform
at its optimal level. Make a decision NOW treat your body with
due care and attention. The results will astound you! Your job
is to feed your immune system with health-sustaining foods: with
nutrients that can rebuild your Immune System. Doesn't it now
make sense to reduce or eliminate as many chemicals as possible
from your body? The fewer free radicals you have to neutralize,
the quicker the response will obviously be.
Let me recommend one mind-opening book. It is written by a
medical doctor who changed the direction of his practice from
drug focus to wellness focus. Read his wisdom. "Death By
Prescription : The Shocking Truth Behind an Overmedicated
Nation" Ray D. Strand; available from amazon.com
As you have been reading, have you felt overwhelmed and unsure,
yet grateful to your body that it doesn't make you realise how
important and powerful your immune system is? Take heart...here
are some eye-opening equations. Optimum amounts of nutrients and
a degenerative condition equal a renewing healthy body.
A relatively healthy body without any added chemicals, including
drugs, equals a very happy person!
Isn't it strange that those things that could have kept you
healthy naturally are not taught or discussed. It's as though we
feel our bodies are indestructible and if something breaks down,
we just need to add a few chemicals (drugs) to patch it up!
Doesn't it seem relatively simple to repair your immune system
without hurting it more?
Slowly things are changing. We are starting to pay attention to
the cause and effect aspect of our body. We pay attention to our
cars, our gardens, our homes, etc. How far behind will our
bodies come? Until something traps your attention. And this will
most likely come in the form of a very debilitating condition.
A healthy, energetic life is entirely possible, even if you have
a degenerative condition. But it will take time to restore the
protective measures of the Immune System. It didn't get worn out
in a few days. Neither will it be restored quickly, but it can
be restored. The decision to start this repair is yours.
Remember this simple formula: more anti-oxidants than free
radicals going in equals health and longevity. Start to take
back control of your health today. The decision is yours alone.

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.

Killing For Money - A Widespread Practice
I am appalled at how man can come up with the most
horrifying customs. Man’s stupidity goes far beyond anything
that can be explained.
In India there have been 10 Million baby girls slain at
birth by their parents over the last 20 years, because of
the dowry system. The dowry system is now outlawed by
continues to be practiced.
The dowry system requires the girls parents to pay large
dowries to the parents of the groom at marriage so all
parents want boy children. The practice is the most idiotic
and alone, the most sickening action of man.
All this is done for money. The girls parents don’t want to
be on the giving end of the dowry system, but rather on the
receiving end.
Ultimately they will find a severe shortage of women and
then the tables will turn. Yet how can man in this day and
age, for greed alone, conduct this practice?
As bad as this is it is alarmingly amazing the number of
things man can justify in order for him to gain. He has a
very hard time looking at principles of truth, justice,
fairness, equality when it costs him money and likely
nowhere on earth is that more dominant than in North
America.
This also shows how anyone in earth can be brainwashed into
believing a practice is right. The stupidity of it gets lost
if everyone around you is conducting the practice.
My how stupid we are.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Gag: How did a joke come to be called a "gag"?
The term was originally used by actors to mean an ad-lib
joke thrown in to throw another actor off his lines. The
joke stopped his speech as effectively as a gag.

It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the
president's birthday, like they do for the queen. Of course,
then we would have a lot of people voting for a candidate
born on July 3 or December 26, just for the long weekends.
