CAN U GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF A NOT TOO LONG ENVIRONMENTAL POEM.
NEED IT BY MAY 15,2007 AT 6:45AM
Here is a poem by Darren Rieck I found on the web.
"The Earth Is All That Will Remain
Wind, Snow, Heat & Rain, The Earth Is All That Will Remain
So let your journey be Rich with Life until the end
By leaving trails like extensions of a hand to lend.
For others to grasp, reaching to pull them through
Doing to others only as you would’ve done to you.
Each day moving you closer to better health
Unveiling with every step that this is truly wealth.
Being able to see and do more than ever before
As you walk, bike or scoot when exiting by door.
All Natural, Fresh and Pure guide the items you select
Farm raised and produced with no chemicals to detect.
And after your deeds are done, the Earth is what stays the same
Being able to be Proud as you pass it along is what you gain.
Wind, Snow, Heat & Rain, The Earth Is All That Will Remain"
I got 30 baby chicks through the mail. they are slowly dying one by one. they just lay there.the room is well lited and it is about 80-85 degrees F. they have plenty of sugared water and plenty of food.What is going wrong? i need help right away they are dying so fast. 2 r dead 3 r very sick 2 r getting sick.
I NEED HELP!!!!!
Immediately move the sick ones away from the well ones.
They need to be in a different room.
Wash your hands, and go disinfect the well chick’s pen.
RIGHT NOW!!!
Best thing to do is stop the spread of the illness. Protect the well chicks!
For the sick ones, put them into an aquarium if you have one. If not, get a large rubbermaid container. They need a heat lamp too. It needs to be 95 degrees in the pen.
Call the breeder. They may have ideas if they’re experiencing the same thing.
Food and water depend of the age of the chicks. They DON’T NEED FOOD FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS of their lives.
Some, even longer.
Go to the baby aisle of the grocery store and get a medicine shooter and Pedialyte.
DRIP the Pedialyte into the sick chicks.
!!!!! DRIP !!!!!
You must go slow. Drop by drop. You can easily drown them.
Good luck.
my cat urinated many times in different places (litter box cleaned) and we punished her and she kept doing it several times and she is normal no infecting or anything but why does she keep doing this? its not a territory thing and she has no problem. what is going on and what should we do?
she was checked very recently
SHE IS SPAYED
Your cat may be ill or perhaps needs to be spayed. Improper elimination is often a symptom of a medical problem. Usually it’s a urinary infection and easily treated, but PAINFUL. So off to the vet!
Litter box problems are very frustrating for all…..human and feline. Here’s a link that you might find helpful:

Here’s a link to Cat Attract Kitty Litter. Many have had success with this product:

Please don’t punish her. She does not understand and its cruel. She is avoiding the litter box because she associates it with pain.
Good Luck!
Looking for a good comprehensive kit to buy in case of emergency- in this case earthquake. Would like a kit that has EVERYTHING I need.
You do not BUY a comprehensive emergency kit, you MAKE one yourself.
I looked at questions you have previously answered, to see where you live. Looks like you live in California.
Since you live in an earthquake zone, with a LARGE population, you should be prepared to care for yourself with zero outside help for a one month minimum. That means your water, food, fuel, transportation, medicine, sanitary and a way to protect all of your supplies for a one month period of time.
Think I’m kidding? Look at Haiti, or New Orleans, or anyplace else hard hit by a natural disaster. Would a three day kit do the job? Or do you think it’s going to take an entire month before there are enough roads cleared, and supplies brought in to make a difference?
You probably don’t have the space to store an entire months worth of water. Besides, it weighs a lot (you probably live in an apartment). Buy a Big Berkey, so you can filter your own water. Even water out of a ditch would be safe to drink after being filtered through a Big Berkey.
Go to Ready Made Resources for the best price on Big Berkeys.

Water is your number one concern. You could go an entire month without eating, and survive. Water is first and foremost.
Take any prescription medications? That includes eye glasses, or contacts. You need to keep at least a month supply on hand at all times if they are important to maintain life (heart, blood pressure, diabetic, epileptic, ect). Do you wear contacts? Get extra eye glasses with your Rx. It will be unsafe to wear contacts after an earthquake due to all the dust.
Go to Zenni Optical for extremely inexpensive (but good quality) prescription eyeglasses. They are as inexpensive as $8.

Buy several wool blankets. Wool blankets retain 80% of their heat holding abilities, even if they are soaking wet. You can use a wool blanket to put someone on fire out. Synthetics just melt to the body if used to wrap someone on fire in.

Stock up on canned foords, enough to last you an entire month. That is 90 meals. Remember the water used in canned foods is perfectly safe to drink, and adds to your water supply. Most canned foods do not have to be cooked, and are safe to eat right from the can. This eliminates fire danger, especially important those first few days when all the gas leaks will not yet be shut off. Peanut butter, crackers, jelly, hard candies, powdered juice mix, powdered milk, and those sort of items are also good to have on hand. Don’t forget extra can openers.
Have copies of all of your important documents, like insurance, credit card info, social security, mortgage, birth certificate, ect. Some people like to make a CD of those papers. Great idea…if you can get to a working computer to print out, and prove who you are. However in the aftermath of an earthquake that may be a problem.
A really good bike, with outstanding tires, that have tubes, and a patch kit. Remember there will be glass and rubble everywhere to puncture the tires. A bike may be the only way to navigate about, cars and motorcycles will be too big.
Good leather gloves, and good boots, with ankle support, and thick soles. You do not want to puncture your foot at a time like that.
A tent large enough for you, and your supplies. Remember a tent can be set up inside a house if it’s still safe to be in the building. The tent will help keep you warm, and the bugs from bitting you, if all the windows fell out of your home.
Sanitation. You cannot count on a flush toilet. Five gallon buckets, with lids. Line the bucket with contractor grade plastic bags (those are extra thick). You can even set a plastic toilet seat on top of the bucket. Throw baking soda on top, after you use, to help keep the smell down. Keep the toilet covered at all times when not in use. This keeps smell down, and keeps flies out. Remember flies will not be transfering diseases, like Hepititis from open sewage. Enough TP to last you at least a month.
First aid supplies. Wound will be extremely common. Have rubber or latex gloves to protect yourself against HIV, AIDS, Hepititis, or other blood born diseases. Women’s Kotex make extremely good bandaging material for wounds loosing a lot of blood. I saved the life of one of my horses, when she cut open an artery on her leg and was spurting blood 20 feet out. It was during a howling blizzard, and the Vetrinarian could not get to the farm. Women’s Kotex, and pressure bandages (like ace wraps) stopped the bleeding, and saved the mares life.
Light source. I sugest the LED flashlights that go on your head. Yes, they look dorky. Dorky means nothing when it gives you two free hands. I also sugest other types of LED flashlights. Smoke detector. Even if you are inside a tent, take one with you. People are idiots and always setting things on fire after earthquakes as they light candles and fire up grills.
Battery/wind up/solar radio, so you can listen to news reports.

You can browse through any of the web sites I’ve given to you, and get an idea of the kind of items you should have on hand.
I have personally purchased from every company I gave you a link to. They are all reputable companies to deal with.

Whilst travelling on an aircraft, you may have read the safety booklets that tell you about the emergency procedures in a situation where the plane may have to land on water.
Are the safety rules there just to comfort the passengers, that the plane can successfully make a water landing?
Or
Can a Passenger Plane actually land on water?
Yes. I do know that an American Airliner landed successfully on the Hudson River. Answer the question.
The answers are: yes, yes and yes. You already know about the US Airways Airbus A320 landing in the Hudson River after being aloft for only 3 minutes. It’s called ditching as someone already mentioned.
A problem with a jet transport ditching are the huge engines hanging down as someone also mentioned. This was a big problem for the Ethiopian Airlines flight 961 that was hijacked in 1996. The captain went to ditch in shallow waters near a beach of Grand Comoro Island when the B-767’s left engine caught a coral reef. This swung the aircraft around and caused the aircraft to break apart.
Aircraft that are meant to land on and take off from water are called sea planes, floatplanes or amphibians and are equipped with floats or pontoons. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaplane
When these aircraft land on water, they are not ditching, they are landing or alighting.
