Does the Library of Congress keep a copy of every book
written?
No. Its collection is HUGE (more than 120 MILLION items!),
but not so huge as to encompass every book ever printed.
More than 500 MILES of bookshelves are needed to house the
collection.
How many items are added to the Library of Congress each
day?
About 10,000! That's less than half of the 22,000 items the
library RECEIVES each day. (Items not selected for the
library are given to other agencies or donated to other
organizations.)

Tips And Tidbits
Baghdad starts to collapse as its people flee a life of
death
By James Hider, of The Times, from Baghdad
As I hung up the phone, I wondered if I would ever see my
friend Ali alive again. Ali, The Times translator for the
past three years, lives in west Baghdad, an area that is now
in meltdown as a bitter civil war rages between Sunni
insurgents and Shia militias. It is, quite simply, out of
control.
I returned to Baghdad on Monday after a break of several
months, during which I too was guilty of glazing over every
time I read another story of Iraqi violence. But two nights
on the telephone, listening to my lost and frightened Iraqi
staff facing death at any moment, persuaded me that Baghdad
is now verging on total collapse.
Ali phoned me on Tuesday night, about 10.30pm. There were
cars full of gunmen prowling his mixed neighbourhood, he
said. He and his neighbours were frantically exchanging
information, trying to identify the gunmen.
Were they the Mahdi Army, the Shia militia blamed for
drilling holes in their victims’ eyes and limbs before
executing them by the dozen? Or were they Sunni insurgents
hunting down Shias to avenge last Sunday’s massacre, when
Shia gunmen rampaged through an area called Jihad, pulling
people from their cars and homes and shooting them in the
streets?
Ali has a surname that could easily pass for Shia. His
brother-in-law has an unmistakably Sunni name. They agreed
that if they could determine that the gunmen were Shia, Ali
would answer the door. If they were Sunnis, his
brother-in-law would go.
Whoever didn’t answer the door would hide in the dog kennel
on the roof.
Their Plan B was simpler: to dash 50 yards to their
neighbours’ house — home to a dozen brothers. All Iraqi
homes are awash with guns for self-defence in these
merciless times. Together they would shoot it out with the
gunmen — one of a dozen unsung Alamos now being fought
nightly on Iraq’s blacked-out streets.
“We just have to wait and see what our fate is,” Ali told
me. It was the first time in three years of bombs, battles
and kidnappings that I had heard this stocky, very physical
young man sounding scared, but there was nothing I could do
to help.
The previous night I had had a similar conversation with my
driver, a Shia who lives in another part of west Baghdad. He
phoned at 11pm to say that there was a battle raging outside
his house and that his family were sheltering in the
windowless bathroom.
Marauding Mahdi gunmen, seeking to drive all Sunnis from the
area, were fighting Sunni Mujahidin for control of a nearby
strategic position. I could hear the gunfire blazing over
the phone.
We phoned the US military trainer attached to Iraqi security
forces in the area. He said there was nothing to be done:
“There’s always shooting at night here. It’s like chasing
ghosts.”
In fact the US military generally responds only to request
for support from Iraqi security forces. But as many of those
forces are at best turning a blind eye to the Shia death
squads, and at worst colluding with them, calling the
Americans is literally the last thing they do.
West Baghdad is no stranger to bombings and killings, but in
the past few days all restraint has vanished in an orgy of
ethnic cleansing.
Shia gunmen are seeking to drive out the once-dominant Sunni
minority and the Sunnis are forming neighbourhood posses to
retaliate. Mosques are being attacked. Scores of innocent
civilians have been killed, their bodies left lying in the
streets.

Detoxification
A Natural Body Function: Does It Really
Need To Be Helped Along?
PART 11 of 11
Detoxification and the healing of your immune system are
closely related. So you really want to be prepared and
ready, but you also want to get through the detox stages to
get to the healing. Let me share what we do when we get
people on the supplements we speak about. We offer to help
them work closely through the first few weeks so they get
past any possible detox stages quickly and with as little
difficulty as possible. Not everyone goes through this, but
it really helps to understand what happens naturally. We
offer our help via phone and email and send out frequent
messages and notes to make sure no problems exist. We make
ourselves available for questions as they arise. Why?
Because we have had so much experience and most likely have
learned about all types of possible reactions. And if you
are prepared and ready, these will just be a part of your
life: no big deal.
And as described at the very beginning of this article, once
you understand the anatomy and physiology of your body, you
are so much more in tune with it: in control. And isn’t that
what you seek as you try to clean your body of unhealthy
elements?
Essentially nutrients contribute to the optimum functioning
of your body. Waste products (the results of detoxification)
contribute nothing, but they inhabit valuable space. So your
body is designed to rotate nutrients throughout your body
systematically (metabolism) to replenish each and every
cell, and in the process, also remove waste products.
Sometimes we need to help this process along, but if you do,
do it with patience, care, and knowledge.

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.
-----------------------END DISCLAIMER
The article today describes how life is in Irag. I also read
similar material about life in Israel, Lebanon, Palestine
and that whole Middle East region.
There are reports that fear escalation into a third world
war and there is nothing on the horizon to offer hope to the
contrary.
Man has certainly created a problem for himself. And there
are signs it will become worse. You can imagine what will
happen when every nation in the world is busy in the Middle
East and then that nut in North Korea decides he wants to
play.
Why can't people live in peace?
The answer is, among other things, greed. People want so
much they fail to leave room for others of different beliefs
to live their lives their way. All sides to any
confrontation are the same. The fundamentalists are no
better than the democratic countries. Each is guilty of the
same behavior.
If you would have peace then learn to go inside and commune
with your Maker. There is no other way. Learn that no
material item is worth fighting over, that life is more than
that. Learn that happiness, peace, joy, prosperity are yours
without man's money or ways.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Quarter: Why do we say we give "no quarter" when we mean we
show "no mercy"?
Because originally to "give quarter" meant to send conquered
enemy soldiers to a special section or "quarter" where they
remained until their fate was determined. They could be set
free, ransomed, or enslaved. If they were killed instead
they were given "no quarter".

is a fast, simple and productive way of earning steady passive income.
It requires little, if any, effort but can lead to people buying product for

standard method of earning income over the net without making any
major investment. Here is a link that will help you start and easily

THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!
Perhaps it would be a good idea, fantastic as it
sounds, to muffle every telephone, stop every motor and
halt all activity for one hour some day just to give
people a chance to ponder for a few minutes on what it
is all about, why they are living and what they really
want.

HA! HA! HA!
I Have a Rare Condition
A man and woman are seated next to each other on a plane.
After takeoff, the woman violently sneezes and excuses
herself to go to the bathroom... so the man stands up to let
her out.
She returns, and 15 minutes later she sneezes again big
time, and again excuses herself to go to the bathroom.
She returns again, and immediately sneezes, excusing herself
to go to the bathroom.
The man, a little tired of jumping up so often...asks her:
"You keep sneezing, what's the problem?"
The woman replies: "I have a rare condition...every time I
sneeze I have an orgasm."
He says, "Oh... what are you taking for it?"
She says: "Pepper."
