Saddam's Gold

Saddam's Gold Tanker Truck...where they found some of the the money he was trying to escape with. If you look at the pallet of gold bars you will see that there are 7 bars in each stack, 4 stacks in each row, and 8 rows. That are 224 bars at about 20 lbs each, which is 4480 lbs or 71,680 ounces. At $350.00 per ounce, that is $25,088,000.00 worth of gold on the pallet. Imagine how much more is inside.

Climate Change: The Untold Story


It has facts, it has suspense, it even has Futurama clips: Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth launches, bringing with it mind-blowing descriptions of the destruction facing earth unless we pull our acts together in the next 10 years.
(http://climatecrisis.org/)

One of the most distressing facts about climate chaos is that it's felt hardest by the world's poorest and most vulnerable people - the people who have done the least to contribute to it and who are least able to cope with its impacts.

The coalition's report - Up in Smoke? Latin America and the Caribbean - shows that, while the region has always suffered from some extreme weather, the largely predictable temperature and rainfall patterns are becoming less predictable and often more extreme. There's been drought in the Amazon, flooding in Haiti, vanishing glaciers in Colombia, extreme cold in the Andes and hurricanes in Central America... The list goes on.

Not only do people living there have to cope with the direct effects of extreme weather, they are also dealing with the knock-on effects like water shortages, crop failure and disease.

There is still time to prevent climate change from entering its "feedback loop" of catastrophic destruction, and most scientists agree that we have around 10 years to do it. That means it's down to us - and there is plenty we can do.

The Carpenter



An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and ask if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work.

He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career. When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."

What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity.

The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.
