Leonid Meteor Shower Makes Waking Up Early Worthwhile -
Abigail Richards (9,854)     
Abigail Richards  
I am not a morning person, but there is something to be said about waking up early to watch God's firework show. One of the most amazing meteor showers will take place in the pre-dawn hours on Nov. 17. Of course, those in Asia will have the best view seeing a predicted 200 to 300 meteors per...

Cosmic Latte - The Color of the Universe -
Andy Thomas (56)  
Andy Thomas 
Cosmic Latte is the name given to the average color of universe , which I came across recently on Nasa's Astronomy Picture of the Day . I wondered, rather pointlessly perhaps, what would its RGB code value be?
Back in 2002, after computationally averaging the light emitted by
200,000... ( added 10 days 16 hours ago.) |

Teaching Composting To Kids -
ngoldman (5,778)   
ngoldman
I have to admit that up to a few years ago my wife Lily and I did not know very much about composting other than recycling food scraps from the kitchen table seemed gross! However, upon further research and after a conversation with my ecologically minded son Dan, we were persuaded to purchase a... ( added 2 days 20 hours ago.) |
The Meaning of 11.11 in 2009 -
Lynn Scheurell (542) 
Lynn Scheurell
Those of you following me for some time know that I like to get information from various esoteric tools, and share it in case you find it provocative and insightful. The object of my most recent attention is today's date - November 11, 2009, or 11:11:11 (by adding 2 + 9 of 2009).

Recycling is a process - a series of activities, if you
will, that includes: the collection and sorting of waste materials, the
processing of these materials to produce brand new products, and the purchase
and use of these new products by consumers.

Ukrainian and Russian Word's "Plemya" Correlations -
IvanPetryshyn (93)
The Ukrainian and Russian word " 'plem"ya"/" 'pliemya" has very interesting phonological correlations in other languages that unveal the sense and the anthropological meaning of the morpheme. Let us only resort to the Ukrainian word " 'plomin' " / flame/ and the Russian word " 'plamya" that has... ( added 4 days 23 hours ago.) |

Perfect Geek Gifts for the Geeks of Your Life -
- Arlene Cuares (20)
Geeks are a special breed of people who would rather sit around a desk talking incessantly about how cool the latest version of Safari is, instead of discussing what they did over the weekend.

Evolution: Proponents Against Themselves -
- Joel Hendon (18,637)  
Joel Hendon
There are a number of reasons evolutionists are evolutionists. Some have heard, read and discussed it for years and believe it with all their hearts. Others are well paid scientists who recognize the areas of interest and methods that will continue their many millions of dollars in grants, so... ( added 36 days 3 hours ago.) |
Digital Cameras Must Be Alien Technology -
Mike Fak (5,634) 
Mike Fak
I never was one to take pictures. I remember in the 50s when dad went and bought a movie camera to go with the old box one we had. Mom was beside herself with fury at the price for the camera, projector, screen and all that other stuff one needed to show home movies. Actually she was mad until... ( added 81 days 4 hours ago.) |
Life: The Achilles Heel of Naturalism -

Stephany Springer (41,414)  
Stephany Springer
America Recycles Day is Nov. 15. I have to admit that this day means more to me this year then it ever has in the past. At my own home this year, we have gotten a new trash service. With that new service came a recycle bin that we can put out each week. I was shocked by the accompanied list at... ( added 25 days 2 hours ago.) |
Greener Than Thou -
- Missing Link (679) 
Missing Link
In walking around the neighborhood, I don't see much evidence that anyone is particularly concerned about global warming, drought conditions, or living green. I see the same lawns being sprinkled by the same sprinklers in the middle of the day. I see the same wires running all over the place... ( added 116 days 13 hours ago.) |
Scientists May Learn Something New -
- Joel Hendon (18,637)
Joel Hendon
Most accuse me of constantly denigrating scientists. Not true. I only denigrate the ones who already know it all and will not listen to anyone who disagrees with them. Even from among their own colleagues. They have a habit of, whenever something new is discovered, immediately forming their... ( added 1 year 50 days ago.) |
How To Anticipate the Unexpected -
- Philip Yaffe (807) 
According to the adage, "Travel is broadening". In other words, when you leave your home and go somewhere else, your mind will expand because of the differences you will see.

McCain's Smokey Speech Clogs the Sacramento Valley -
Missing Link (679)
Missing Link
I saw something the other day that made me think the end is near. The exclusive Porsche dealer on Interstate 80 had signs on all its shiny, expensive sports cars that indicated the thriftiness of the cars' miles per gallon. Today reading the newspaper my feeling was only reinforced. John McCain... ( added 1 year 149 days ago.) |
Born With a Green Conscience -

David Tanguay
When it comes to the environment one thing, I can say and this is true. Ever since I was a child, I had a very conscientious attitude when it came to protecting the environment.

Tired of hearing the constant drone about the disaster that is global warming? Concerned about the proposed "carbon tax" that may be imposed on you for your contribution to the problem?

Global Warming – Does Mankind Have a Responsibility? -

A primary issue that has the world's attention is what Al Gore calls an Inconvenient Truth global warming.

The recently released annual report from the Climate Living Index states that Australia has the sixth biggest footprint in terms of fossil fuel use and ecological damage.

Blame Global Warming on Nature--Earth Moving Closer to Sun -
Danny Davids (19,463)
Danny Davids
We've heard so much about global warming for so long that most people either accept it as fact or ignore it as hype. Well, Al Gore is right. The Earth is indeed growing warmer. His assumption that the cause is due to mankind's polluting the environment is faulty, however. It turns out that the... ( added 1 year 234 days ago.) |

Global Warming is a Left Wing Power Ploy . . . Or is it? -
- Jeff Brown (10,529)  
Jeff Brown
The sky is falling . . . and it's damn hot too. According to some sources, it's a given. Global warming is real. Just ask Al Gore or watch An Inconvenient Truth .

Here’s a quick trivia question for ya: How many planets are
in our Solar System? A couple weeks ago
the correct answer would have been nine.
Now, it’s eight. Or 11, if you

Energy Conservation - Who Has Practical Ideas? -
Jean Horst (1,178)  
Jean Horst
This last year has started to turn me green. Not a lot, but a little. For me any amount of green is significant. By green, you may have figured out, I mean the conservation-style green, not the jealousy-style green, or the I’ve-worn-this-copper-ring-too-long green. Up until this point in my life...
