Ice Is Thicker Than Water

Ice floats on water…but who’d a thought it was actually less dense than water? At first glance it sure seems like it could be heavier, harder, colder and thicker than water. Anyone’s whose slipped and fallen on it KNOWS it is a hard surface firsthand! Anyone who’s skidded on it knows it can be slicker than Tony Soprano on a dark night. But badda-bing, badda boom – who’d a thunk that as thick as it may be in wintertime; it actually has more air in it? And that's what helps cause it to float.

In ice, the molecules develop hydrogen bonds tighter than an old Italian family. And the bonding action between the oxygen of one atom and the hydrogen of another atom then pumps up the volume to create a slick greasy hard outer surface; sort of like a noisy bunch of drunken bad boys spewing out of the Badda Bing Bar. TV mobsters take note: don’t axe a guy, freeze him in a cooler, then later try to sink him in a river cuz he’ll pop right up and float like a lighthouse buoy.

Consume VS Conserve Mentality

What is the human economic disaster all about? Does anyone know? Let's let Aqua Guru speak! [Clap, clap, clap!] 'Wisdom is simple', Aqua-fucius says. Chi flow = money flow = smooth flowing society.

For decades, SOME human beings got a shriveled up notion in their itty bitty pin-heads that to starve other people out of their chi-money flow in the interest of gaining for themselves; they could then call themselves RICH. Trouble is, millions of other greedy little-booby-pin-heads thought that turd idea was a great one so they jumped on the bandwagon. So NOW, the decades-long practice of chi stealing has finally backfired to cause a HUGE ECONOMIC MESS. Aqua-fucius says, 'All are one and so dried up, poopy ideas = constipated economy.'

What’s a hardworking, high-minded human to do? GO ZEN. Let the idiots who caused the madness of consumer consumption have ALL the plastic goods they created back. Truth be told, humans need little to be healthy & happy. They need basic shelter, food; good water & loving relationships. Aqua-fucius says, 'Dump consumption, SHARE and BE FLOWINGLY ABUNDANT from within.'

Aquaverve can help get you started for going bottleless means you can ALWAYS fill your cup and YET not waste a single drop of water. Aqua-fucius THEN says, 'May your chi cup be free flowing & forever full!'

YET ANOTHER REASON To Go Bottleless....

Gadzooks! This morning, Yahoo posted on its front page a behind-the-scenes article about the bottled water industry. Here are just a few key points:

‘Bottled Water Isn’t Always Pure.’ In a 4-year review, testing 1,000 bottles of water the Natural Resources Defense Council found that 22 percent of the brands tested contained chemical contaminants at levels above strict state health limits.

‘You May Actually Be Drinking Tap Water. Dasani, is a Coca-Cola product. Despite its exotic name, if your Dasani water was bottled at the Coca-Cola Plant in PA, you’re drinking Philly tap water. 25 percent of all bottled water is taken from municipal water sources, including Pepsi’s Aquafina.’

Ok well, we’re just quoting this stuff from Yahoo, but WOW! How aware are we of what we’re paying for when it comes to name brands? Here's more: ‘It’s Not Clear Where the Plastic Container Ends & the Drink Begins.’ Turns out, when certain plastics are heated at a high temperature, chemicals from the plastics may leach into container’s contents. Hmmmm.

‘Our Country’s High Demand for Oil Isn’t Just Due To Long Commutes.’ To make PET (water containers), you need crude oil. Specifically, 17 million barrels of oil are used in the production of PET water bottles ever year. PET bottles take 400 to 1000 years to degrade. Hmmmm again. How much do we love Mother Earth?

Before Name Brand Mega-buck companies make scapegoats out of all of us, might we not re-consider where're we're putting our dollars? Want to save AND be safe? Visit us at Aquaverve! We've got a great handle on how to be drink-safe and economical!

The Plump & Juicy Summer Water Diet

So... it's summertime and everyone is sprawling out to deepen that long anticipated beach tan, because there's nothng more sexy than adonis bronze, sun-kissed skin. Zits suddenly disappear off motley faces. Varicose veins mysteriously retreat into the twiligt zone from whence they came and a beautiful array of 'bubbies' in bikini's start popping up like wildflowers after a spring's rain. Who DOESN'T love the beach? EVERYONE appears just a little prettier or a bit more handsome.

With that thought in mind; if you're going to soak up the sun's rays all summer long, the least you can do for your Vita-D saturated skin is flush it regularily so that your skin cells remain plump and juicy despite the frying UV rays. Despite the fact that the Baywatch babes might have used 'other' plumping techniques to appear eternally juicy in their beach scenes, truth be told - water is the best cell fattener around. Lay off the pizza and beer and guzzle water on the beach. Tint it with a tea bag, drop a lemon in and repeat...all summer long. Not only will you feel great, look plump & juicy AND bronze; you can lay back read 'Raisin in the Sun', instead of being one!

Fun Facts About Water Parks

The First "official" waterpark created was Wet 'N Wild in Orlando, Fla., by George Millay (creator and founder of Sea World). WWA officially proclaimed Millay as "Father of the Waterpark Industry" in 2004 and awarded him with the Association's first-and only, to date-"Lifetime Achievement Award."

The estimated attendance at North American waterparks during the Summer 2006 season: about 78 million (includes United States, Canada and Mexico), with growth average 3-5 percent each year.

The tallest, fastest single-person, free-fall waterslide in the world is: 120-foot tall "Summit Plummet," Blizzard Beach, Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

The largest indoor waterpark in the United States under one roof is: Kalahari Resort, Sandusky, Ohio. (173,000 square feet)

The tallest raft-ride waterslide is: 11-story tall "Insane" at Beach Park, Fortaleza, Brazil.

The largest wave pool in the world is: Dino Beach Water Park, Shanghai, China, at 181 feet wide by 360 feet long.

Whad-a-ya know? Water's not just for drinking! Happy Fourth of July!

Seems Everyone's Blasting Off Planet These Days!

First it was David, and then Farrah and then the King of Pop! What gives? Might there be something attractive about the ethers that is causing lift-off everywhere? Possibly! After all; scientists say we are about 60 to 80 percent water and metaphysicians state that we are pure energy. Put the two together and what have ya got? It's a term called 'Vortex Fashion.'

Water and air have the same intrinsic vortex motion. And now there are several types of newly developed radionic technologies for water, in which water can now be highly charged. High charge water is considered healthier water. You see, water is etheric energy in bondage but it has to move in a naturally winding and spiralling way; otherwise it looses its life force and becomes stagnant and lifeless. Sounds like high tech science, but really it's very simple; drink moving water and you'll be healthier for it.

Water has what are known as water clusters that will attach themselves to pollutant molecules. Thus, when we drink stagnant water, toxins sort of seep in and then seat themselves in our bodies. Bottleless water coolers hook right up to the water pipes as the water spirals into your home. Water dances right into your body sort of like the King did. So maybe he was on to something with all those funky moves! Bless you King, Angel & Warrior! Lead the way and may your etheric futures be as bright and light as they were here on Earth!

How Do Monkeys Get Their Water?

Were you ever in the middle of a high-stress board room meeting with 12 other colleagues heavily debating how you’d all save your last big account when the boss suddenly pointed a finger at you and asked a question ….and all you could think of was, ‘I wonder how monkeys in the jungle drink water?’

What? That just happened last week? Chances are you are in GREAT need of a vacation…but if your sore buns are presently glued solid to a board room chair, what’s a person to do? Why…travel in your mind of course!

Hindus believe that a great and mighty ape named Hanuman aided Lord Rama in his expeditions and protectively warded off all evil forces. Funny thing a monkey popped right into your mind as your boss leaned menacingly toward you from across the table. Might we all have a bit of mysticism in us, after all?

Maybe you can’t escape the destructive path of the major human antics that are sweeping dangerously toward your personal space, but rather than being a sitting duck, why not just suddenly seqwey on over to the still & peaceful standing water cooler and offer yourself a little water break? In the jungle, monkeys scoop water from a river into their palms just for a quick refresher. Maybe monkeys on the mind have valid and blessed meaning after all!

New Technology Gives Thirsty Plants Voice

Discovery Channel is a wonderful thing! It lets us plain, ordinary bumpkin people know what's going on behind those expensively funded, hidden little laboratory doors that have cropped up all around the country. This time, Discovery ferreted out a new toy for plants! Get this: plants in need of water are getting their own fancy gadget to “communicate” with their growers.

A newly developed microchip technology now allows plants to send text messages to farmers’ cellphones - asking for water! The thin microchip, which is smaller than a postage stamp, is affixed to the plant’s leaves and it can send messages to cellphones whenever the plant needs more water.

It's a good thing humans still have two feet. We can walk to the office water cooler when we're thirsty...instead of having to text someone to deliver it to us! Here's a sobering question: at what point will our technology begin to cause irrevolkable genetic muscle atrophy in the human body? If we're not careful enough to balance nature with our growing technology, we might end up evolving into a bunch of VEGETABLES after all.

From Sea to A Salty Water Logged NYC?

Meteorologists have alerted us to the fact that hurricanes are increasing and are starting up closer to our coastlines. NYC has always been high on the list with regards to ‘risk’. So some scientists and engineers are developing barriers to choke off the surging sea & protect flood-prone areas. But other scientists question whether the barriers would be environmentally sound and socially equitable. Hmmm. Save our city? Or save our planet?

While engineers say barriers are technically feasible, questions remain about their environmental viability. Structures that constrict the flow of water could alter fish migration, shell fishing beds and water salinity. This means that on top of our financial fiascos and environmental stresses; we’d start to slowly starve and have to drink stinky water too!

Sometimes, the good ol’ cave days where water was fresh and clean and cave maidens pranced merrily across the grassy knolls…seems a mighty delicious & happy thought. One good windy wipeout by Mother Earth might just be the ticket to bring us back to the days of simple, easy living. No more commuter stress! No more financial fiasco. No more mad Mom's. Just naked, happy, fresh-water people prancing all about.

The Complexity Of NYC's Water System

Most city people don't think about the water they use every day. But how water is actually able to even flow from a faucet is quite a feat, considering where it starts out from. NYC's water supply system is one of the most extensive municipal systems in the world. This complex system relies on a combination of tunnels, aqueducts and reservoirs. It draws from three separate systems; the Croton Reservoir, The Catskill Aqueduct and from the Delaware River.

How it actually gets to us is though the flow of our money into three additional systems that enable it to ultimately remain clean and clear enough for us to drink. Those three systems are The Dept. of Environmental Protection, The Municipal Water Finance Authority and the Water Board. Now that today's economy has mirrored back to us humanity's long term corrupt behavior with regards to money handling, perhaps each of us on an individual basis should seriously examine just who's hands we're placing our daily health in. After all, the human body is made up of 55% to 78% water!
