My heart goes out to all hurricane survivors. Here are some pictures. Houston rose to the task in Katrina, got hit by Rita, and hit again. http://www.tpicks.com/pictures%20people%20have%20sent%20me.html And there was that Internet hurricane that never got into the press, the one against the surv

I think Richard Hoagland wrote a chapter on this in "Dark Mission", but it was editted out because the conspirators at NASA don't want us getting hold of those new hybrids. However, one can clearly see the outline of a green-house complex behind the "Face On Mars" and so I eagerly await more news o

One method might be to use double-stick clear tape, letting the rolls of bubble-wrap rest on some kind of scaffolding and using a stick in the form of a "T" with the double-stick on it to press the top edge in place with one hand and staple with the other. If you use just spots of double-stick an

Well, I know that pine, being a fast-growing wood, is a highly renewable forest product, but I wondered about the manner in which it is done. I have worked live-tree farms & "boutique" timber in the Northern climate, and that is highly compatible with orchid habitat. There is a good passage in Rac

[OGD] Orchids in East Texas

2008-08-27 Thread Orchid Keeper
There is a highly controversial biomass project being decided this week in Austin, Texas, concerning a $2.3 billion (yes, billion with a "B") generating plant being built in Nacogdoches, which is an area of the Piney Woods type of terrain. Most of the discussion is turning on the questions of finan

My name was never hidden, Roger. You also know that if I wanted to, I could hide that domain registry behind a proxy. Mr Schordje began the attack in here, which you quickly joined, because he did indeed know who I was when he read my invitation, whereas I did not know who he was. I knew only his

Hi, I'm the same person who sent the question about the biomass fuel & habitat. This is a completely unrelated question. Would you like one of your favorite orchids to "star" in a painting video? I am making how-to-paint art videos with live orchids as the models and traditional watercolor as the

Hi all,Lurker, here. I just finished watching a public hearing that took place on Aug. 13th at Austin, Texas City Hall concerning the possible construction of a very large wood-fuel generating plant. "Biomass" seems to be the buzzword for it. Questions immediately arise as to the effects of this ty
