>Rainforests: Way More Than Just Monkeys And Parrots Shin-Soo Choo Womens Jersey , Part 1 Posted by nick_niesen on October 29th, 2010
Rainforests are the dynamic engine of the Earth's biosphere; they fix carbon from the atmosphere, and the aspiration of plants in the rain forests produce nearly 10% of the oxygen we need to live (over 70% of the oxygen is generated by algae and plankton on the world's oceans). They act as filters, pulling pollutants out of the air and fixing minerals into the soil Delino DeShields Womens Jersey , and help stem the tide of soil erosion; they are dynamic, and vividly alive, and critical to the life expectancy of our planet.
The biological diversity of tropical rain forests is staggering. Of the roughly 1.9 million named land species native to planet earth, over two thirds of them are found in tropical rain forests Russell Wilson Womens Jersey , ranging from Asia to South America to Africa, and places in between. 95% of the beneficial plants and plant compounds used for medicine, cosmetics and more are found in tropical rain forests, and this diversity is one of the great treasures of the world.
And it's being lost Elvis Andrus Womens Jersey , and lost rapidly, due to development and encroachment by urban areas. 30 years ago, rain forests covered 14% of the land area of the earth.

There are several layers of impact to the loss of rainforest terrain and biomes.

There is a strong emotional appeal to preserving wildlife, preserving wild lands, is very important to people. The second is climactic.

The last impact is economic and medical; the rainforests are reservoirs of ecological diversity, and potentially domesticable plants and animals. Major research goes into finding plants and plant compounds that are tied to medical advances and present in plants and animals in the rainforest.
How to throw a Poker game in your Home without your wife finding out
Posted by nick_niesen on October 26th, 2010
It is not uncommon for a man to want to have a night out with the boys, maybe play a little poker. It is also not uncommon to have the plans of men thwarted by their wives.
To help with this problem I am telling you the secrets about how to have some harmless fun at home without the wife catching on.
The best way to get rid of the wife so you can have a little 聯Man Time聰 is the easiest but most expensive way to do it. For her birthday you get her and one of her friends a trip to a weekend spa place.
Your wife will think you the best hubby ever and will never suspect you are going to throw a poker game in her absence Asdrubal Cabrera Womens Jersey , and the best part of this plan is that when it is over your wife will be so grateful for what you have done she may be more inclined to allow you to go out with the boys more often.
The next way is a little complicated and will only give you 4 or 5 hours of time at best, but it is much less expensive then a trip for 2. It may seem a little childish and yes I also have seen it on TV but a scavenger hunt scam can work.
The trick to the scavenger hunt is that each spot has to mean something. An example would be the first place you ever went on a date as one of the places she needs to go.
The end of the game is the most important make the last stop a restaurant and make sure to be there before she does. A good idea is to try to think of something meaning full in the area of where you live so you do not have far to drive, this will leave you the maximum amount of time to lay poker with your pals.
I have to admit this is not the ideal way to play poker, but getting away with even an hour of poker without her knowing is more excitement than any regular poker game could ever be.
Now that you have a plan to get her out of the house you need to be ready to go. The most important part of this is a large plastic drop cloth. This is so that if anything spills it will be simple to clean up.
Make sure you are ready to go with the table and chairs and make sure they get put back exactly the same as when you took them. You may want to use a digital camera to make sure you remember exactly how everything was before the game Joey Gallo Womens Jersey , because I promise you that you wife does.
If you send your wife on the trip I do not recommend using a cleaning service right before she comes back. If the house is too clean she will know something funny is going on
The last two tips I have is to make sure that you have a really nice gift around at all times just incase she finds out, and the other is that if your wife and your friends wives are friends do not invite those friends, if one guy gets caught you will all get caught.
Good Luck.
