GO Green!

Its good for all of us, don't cha think?

Fossil fuel use produces huge amounts and different types of particles, including dust, soot, smoke and other very fine floating stuff, a lot which is not visible. These lung irritants may not seriously bug a big adult type person, however, they do have serious and lasting effects on kids and their developing lungs and immune systems. Our penalty: Higher healthcare costs, sick kiddos and higher taxes. Great, more money out the door!

MostTriv 123 Space Junk

Space Junk

One BIG Garbage Can!

As of June 21 2000, the U.S. Space Command counted 8,927 man-made objects in the great above and beyond; some are there more or less permanently. Of the total, 2,671 are satellites (working or not), 90 are space probes that have been launched out of Earth orbit, and 6096 are mere chunks of debris zooming around the third planet from the Sun. The United States leads the former Soviet Union in the total quantity of orbital junk, but some companies and other organizations contribute significantly to the count.

MostTriv 122 Crocs vs. Gators

Little Dinasaurs

The who's who of reptiles

After surviving nearly unchanged for over 200 million years crocodiles and alligators were hunted to the brink of extinction between 1900 and 1967 in a period as brief as a single man's life, how sad. Also their habitats continue to shrink. Today due to conservation efforts the American alligator is no longer on the endangered species list but many species of crocodiles remain at risk. Continued diligence is necessary if we are to preserve these incredible animals that open a door to the planet's early history and a window into an age of fantastic creatures that ruled the earth for tens of millions of years.

MostTriv# 121 Magnets

Magnets.Very attractive!

If they ate spinach would they have more iron?

The discovery of the magnetic compass was an event of GREAT importance in the history of people. It was the first documented instrument created by mankind that could be read using a precise scale. Of course the sundial had been around for a long time, but it doesn't move [just it's shadow does as you know]. There was the wind vane, but no precise way at that time to measure wind direction. If you think about it, it's pretty hard to measure direction in general, without a compass. The earliest known compass surfaced in China by at least the first century A.D. It apparently didn't arrive in Europe until the twelfth century A.D [1100's]

MostTriv# 120 Windmills

Windmills of my Mind

So many uses!

There are examples of windmills whose sails rotate clockwise, and examples that rotate anticlockwise. The direction is always taken from in front of the mill, and looking at the sails, the solid edge is the leading edge. An example of nearby similar mills whose sails rotate in opposite directions can be seen in Cambridgeshire at Bourn (anticlockwise) and Great Gransden (clockwise).

With increasing environmental concern, and approaching limits to fossil fuel consumption, wind power has regained interest as a renewable energy source. It is increasingly becoming more useful and sufficient in providing energy for many areas of the world.

MostTriv# 118 More Animal Fun

More Animal Fun

This show is dedicated to Sprocket

She was my 17 year old Wiemeraner. She passed away Tuesday Dec. 5th 2007, we'll miss her so much.

The Weimaraner's written history begins around 1880, when this breed was first exhibited at a Berlin, Germany dog show, where they were referred to as "l'mongrels".

The Grand Duke Karl August of Weimar (Germany), wanted to develop a multipurpose dog. It's nickname is the "Gray Ghost"; this comes from not only the Weimaraner's color, but also its ability to be quick, using an almost cat-like stealth while in the field, combined with a silent, almost shadow-like way of working.

After World War II ended, many soldiers brought home stories of this wonderful, strangely colored dog known as the Weimaraner. As people heard of these stories many wanted this new Wonder Dog.

Within six months a Weimaraner will go from a 3 pound puppy to a 70 pound dog with a mind of its own. It is not a plaything, nor should ownership be frivalous. Without proper training and socialization, this dog can become a neurotic, problem dog and almost impossible to manage. With hard work and love you will rewarded with an incredible companion.

B. cygnet
