P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S
I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but
this makes me feel better about it And if you aint
one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old
Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not
want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its
not a bad thing to be called as you will see
Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during
the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove
their caps and stand at attention and sing without
embarrassment They know the words and believe in
them
Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler
They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon
Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to
mention Vietnam
If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the
street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is
on the inside for protection
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont
like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies
Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their
children or grandchildren
Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young
men and women in the military serving their country
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility
pride in their country and decent values
We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but
this makes me feel better about it And if you aint
one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old
Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not
want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its
not a bad thing to be called as you will see
Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during
the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove
their caps and stand at attention and sing without
embarrassment They know the words and believe in
them
Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler
They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon
Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to
mention Vietnam
If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the
street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is
on the inside for protection
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont
like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies
Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their
children or grandchildren
Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young
men and women in the military serving their country
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility
pride in their country and decent values
We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but
this makes me feel better about it And if you aint
one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old
Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not
want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its
not a bad thing to be called as you will see
Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during
the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove
their caps and stand at attention and sing without
embarrassment They know the words and believe in
them
Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler
They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon
Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to
mention Vietnam
If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the
street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is
on the inside for protection
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont
like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies
Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their
children or grandchildren
Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young
men and women in the military serving their country
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility
pride in their country and decent values
We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but
this makes me feel better about it And if you aint
one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old
Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not
want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its
not a bad thing to be called as you will see
Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during
the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove
their caps and stand at attention and sing without
embarrassment They know the words and believe in
them
Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler
They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon
Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to
mention Vietnam
If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the
street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is
on the inside for protection
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont
like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies
Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their
children or grandchildren
Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young
men and women in the military serving their country
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility
pride in their country and decent values
We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but
this makes me feel better about it And if you aint
one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old
Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not
want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its
not a bad thing to be called as you will see
Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during
the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove
their caps and stand at attention and sing without
embarrassment They know the words and believe in
them
Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler
They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon
Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to
mention Vietnam
If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the
street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is
on the inside for protection
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont
like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies
Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their
children or grandchildren
Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young
men and women in the military serving their country
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility
pride in their country and decent values
We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but
this makes me feel better about it And if you aint
one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old
Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not
want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its
not a bad thing to be called as you will see
Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during
the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove
their caps and stand at attention and sing without
embarrassment They know the words and believe in
them
Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler
They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon
Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to
mention Vietnam
If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the
street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is
on the inside for protection
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont
like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies
Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their
children or grandchildren
Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young
men and women in the military serving their country
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility
pride in their country and decent values
We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

retired for 9 years already and previously worked for Winnipeg Transit as a service
controller Went over all the activities that are offered here and in the surrounding area and hes
looking forward to partaking While in the city he was very actively involved in different volunteer

provincially He was also President of the Glenwood Community Club His favorite pastimes are
canoeing cycling and camping He has a daughter living in Edmonton and 2 sons in Winnipeg

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it

LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

looking forward to partaking While in the city he was very actively involved in different volunteer

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED
22
April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue
Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it

LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED
22
April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue
Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue
Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom
First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds
Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch
Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored
Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity
With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors
Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much
Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children
Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony
You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED
22
April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue
Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Attending a wedding for the first time
a little girl whispered to her mother
Why is the bride dressed in white
The mother replied
Because white is the colour of happiness
and today is the happiest day of her life
The child thought about this
for a moment then said
So why is the groom wearing black
A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her
father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo
what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar
hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to
provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is
accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd
God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI
will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod
will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will
you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo
replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and
each time the father questions the young idealist he insists
that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go
Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans
but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it

LESSON LEARNED
22
April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it
NEVER GIVE ANYONE
YOUR PASSWORD
LESSON LEARNED
22
April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue
Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance
In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his
winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he
was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up
After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This
time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I
emailed him I told him I had not contacted him
It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts
The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok
and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one
sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and
passport were stolen and I needed money to get home
I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly
my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)
The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold
them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts
I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc
Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally
spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said
than done
All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How
do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change
the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new
identity So they can open my emails without a virus
After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how
much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems
It turned out he was the original scammer
It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer
It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I
must change my password for security reasons because
someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my
account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the
scammer and I fell for it

LESSON LEARNED
22
April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

April 2015 The
Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided
with the global financial crisis and
with vast overbuilding in the
country led to high vacancies and
foreclosures With Dubai mired in
debt from its huge ambitions the
government was forced to seek
multibillion dollar bailouts from its
oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi
Subsequently in a surprise move
at its opening ceremony the tower
was renamed Burj Khalifa said to
honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al
Nahyan the UAE President for his
crucial support
Tallest Building in the World at
its opening on January 4 2010 It
is taller than any other man-made
structure ever built
In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the
cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind
the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight
was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf
Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top
end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story
aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants
After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city
It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was
discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over
2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city
Visiting
The Atlantis Hotel located on the top of the Palm The Palm

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue
Bargaining for Spices in a Souk
The Souks
Souks are markets and they are varied in nature
some being specific to its merchandise One in
particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing
but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being
the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so
pieces were impressive and tempting The other
markets sold everything from spices clothing
shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc
Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying
their best to make a sale All was barter system
and the trick was to offer about a third you think
you wanted to pay and work from there
I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which
actually came from Iran A small packet was
$500 US which was a real deal I still keep
some in my freezer
The Burj al Arab Hotel
The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made
island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M
or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking
for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the
J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355
m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the
ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay
would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even
some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately
only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel
but tours are sometimes available Shieks and
their entourage are often seen entering the
winding driveway being driven in their Porsches
or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with
Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to
accommodate those arriving by helicopter
equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once
hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

April 2015
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease
Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides
Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include
Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-
forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)
Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow
your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move
Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of
motion and cause you pain
Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a
result of Parkinsons disease
Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform
unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking
Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly
quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems
Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult
Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms
A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and
refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants
Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices
not working for you
Would you be interested in either of the following presentations
1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach
2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors
Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding
doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing
bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice
as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and
obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even
reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function
Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information
please call Ingrid at 422-9118
An atheist was walking through the woods
ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He
turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he
could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on
himhellip
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer
He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear
was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to
strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo
Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent
As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my
existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic
accidentrdquo
ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo
The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask
you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo
ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice
The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right
paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke
ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest
which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid
reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North
America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter
medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more
than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you
at night you may have GERD
With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of
the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and
scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in
swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing
GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called
Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common
symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your
teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is
digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its
peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or
use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to
person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices
Medications
While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of
acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of
patients
Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90
of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be
prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with
medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the
rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be
under the direction and supervision of a doctor
Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a
person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately
selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions
including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food
GERD is the most common digestive disorder
for which patients seek medical care If you suffer
with this problem see your doctor for treatment
that is appropriate for you
