2007-11-05 08:07 The Arctic Astronauts
The Mars Analogue Research Station (MARS) Programme is an international effort spearheaded by The Mars Society to establish a network of prototype research centres where scientists and engineers can live and work as if they were on Mars, to develop the protocols and procedures that will be required for human operations on Mars, and to test equipment that may be carried and used by human mission to the Red Planet. In order to achieve these goals, operations at the Habitat Units are performed unde …

2007-08-25 16:34 Hunting in Arizona
Many of my readers are "from away", to borrow some Maine terminology, so I thought I would try and give some insight about outdoor activities in Arizona. Roughly speaking, the top 1/3 of the state is pine forests - quite similar to what you would see in Maine, Minnesota, or other forested areas of the country. The bottom 2/3 is desert. Some may call this half and half, but I digress. There is also a transition zone between the 2, where you will see scrub oak, pinon, juniper and other types of tr …

2007-08-08 19:16 SCALA SOFA IN HABITAT'S SALE
Some of my favourite bargains in Habitat's current sale are their Scala seating units, all of which have a few hundred quid lobbed off them. Scala is a modular seating system with a 2-seat sofa, single chair, corner unit and footstool which can be combined or used individually. The sofa shown above is a great piece on it's own and as it doesn't have any bulky armrests it can seat three comfortably without taking up too much space. It's been reduced from ‚¬975 to ‚¬682.50 so it's a right steal to …

Growing Criminality Along With the Advent of The ˜Terror Factor in the Caribbean In the past, matters of U.S. concern with the Caribbean have been related to stepped up flows of illegal northbound immigration as well as the region s ominous role as an emerging major portal for incoming narcotics from South America and Mexico. However, most recently, the Caribbean Basin now has achieved a much darker silhouette because of its connection to Russell Desfreitas, the Guyanese-American who was indic …

2007-07-18 00:25 Mayoral Affordable Housing Forum
Chris Wage: So, if you haven't been following Nashville's election for Mayor, let me be the first to tell you: we have a surprisingly good bunch of candidates. I don't always agree with most of them, and I definitely like some more than others, but they are a surprisingly well-educated group of people, and so far everyone has been capable of surprising me.I suppose to some extent, being a smaller local mayoral election, they aren't groomed to the extent that they are in larger elections. Utteran …

2007-07-12 23:11 Day Twenty Nine - zero peanut butter jars
Today I became intimately acquainted with kitchen sinks. For our second day of Habitat building, I built shelving units for home appliances. Yesterday I honed my hammering skills at the build site, which sits appropriately within a cul de sac named œComfort Circle in Lawrence, Kansas. I should m

Jelly-fish 45 Habitat The Jelly-fish 45 floating dwelling unit of 10 metres high and with a diameter of 15 meters is designed to accommodate up to six persons. It would be ideally situated in sea parks, atolls, bays and seas rich in flora and fauna. The Jelly-fish 45 allows the sea dwelling owners to live either above or below sea level in perfect harmony with the ocean environment. It consists of five levels connected by a spiral staircase. The top level is 5.6 metres above the sea level and ha …

2007-07-07 12:16 A Hitchhiker s Guide to the O.R. Universe
The Operating Room exists as a separate entity within the grander scheme of the hospital. I mean, like its own universe, really. It is indeed part of the greater culture of ANY Hospital, but the OR environment contains its own separate and peculiar atmosphere, linguistics, tools, habitat, and a unique care commodity - surgery, and the anesthesia and nursing necessary to get the job done. In what other department in a hospital do people come to work in their street clothes and then change int …

2007-07-06 08:27 Solar Powered WiFi Bionic Turtles Lurking in Swamp
There is the internet, the slower sneakernet, and now we have the turtlenet. Scientists from the University of Massachusetts were trying to figure out how to track snapping turtles and figure out how they are coping with loss of habitat and other factors. They developed the TurtleNet: Solar powered GPS and WiFi units that are glued to the backs of snapping turtles. According to Yahoo News: The idea behind the technology is to create a network of constantly moving devices that record and store in …

2007-04-30 05:00 Of oaks and unspoken angst
BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. If the trees could talk, they would tell us everything. Silent, gnarled sentries, the live oaks of the Mississippi Gulf Coast have seen it all. Since well before they beckoned Spanish and French explorers with their massive limbs like welcoming arms, the oaks have been dutiful witnesses to the timeless cycle of birth and life and death. And hurricanes. Of Hurricane Katrina, 20 months after she unleashed her fury, they have two stories to tell. One story is as plain as the le …

2007-03-30 18:34 The Eastern Grey Squirrel
Photographing the Eastern Grey Squirrel ( Sciurus carolinensis ) is remarkably easy, and remarkably difficult to do well. A good understanding of squirrel behaviour, and an acute awareness of how photographs tell a story is the key to the public understanding of this rodent. Humans introduced this species of tree squirrel from Canada and the United States between 1876 and 1930, and given the rodent's attractive appearance, adaptive behaviour, and lack of natural predators, the Eastern Grey Squir …

2006-08-03 16:54 El Condo Pasa - February 15, 2006
The area of Pompano Beach that we vacation in is not too trendy. There are many vacant lots proclaiming the imminent construction and sale of towering high rises with 8 digit prices. So far, only the signs announce the area as being exclusive. It would be nice to ride the ladder of incoming wealth, but I am not sure we will live long enough to experience such a renaissance. Our building is a sturdy habitat for seniors. When we purchased it, the œover 55 rule had just been suspended in order to …
