Build your Own Green House! Green House Design Made Simple!
Having your own green house nursery is a dream of many gardeners. Imagine being able to walk through your own garden full of herbs and vegetables and beautiful plants protected from the elements and roving destructive insects and animals. If you have a green thumb this could be your idea of heaven and green house construction is not that hard which makes this an attractive project to get into.
Building a greenhouse requires first of all a decent amount of room, at least 10 meters by 20 meters is a good size but you can go much larger if you choose. The more compact the cheaper and easier of course but if you want small you can always get a DIY green house kit but the limitations on these are quite restrictive.
Next you need your materials:
-Wooden poles to construct doors and frames for each end of the green house and if quite a large greenhouse you may need more to prop up the roof. A strong end structure and centre are vital for sturdy construction. Make sure the wood is treated however as it can get quite damp and you do not want it to rot.
-6mm clear plastic, enough to cover the entire area of your greenhouse. Getting more than you need is ok as you may need to replace some sections as time goes on.
-Enough PVC piping to create the structure for the green house like a rib cage curving from the ground one side to the other. This is done in pieces not one long piece.
-Metal stakes, this is for hammering into the ground for a solid base for your PVC piping which then slide onto it to hold it in place.
-Duct tape, an essential part of any handyman’s kit! You will need to use a fair bit of this to join pieces together.
-Hammer, nails and so on
While you may need a few other bits and bobs this is the main structure for your greenhouse. You will need to use the wood to create the doors and ends of the greenhouse making sure they are well propped up by hammering them deep into the round or by having some wooden poles propping the structure up on a 45 degree angle from the frame.
You then need to hammer the metal stakes into the ground at even intervals between the frames keeping them about 2 meters apart is about right. The metal stakes must line up on the left and right side also of course.
Once the stakes are on you can slot the PVC piping onto the metal stakes giving the PVC a good solid structure at the bottom so it can hold up your roof. Bend the PVC piping as much as you can so it makes a U shape over the top of where the green house will be and slide the other end into the metal stake at the other side.
This may mean you need to cut the PVC into smaller sections and use some small PVC flexible joiners you can buy from any hardware store.
By now you should have the frame for your green house and quite a study one. Now you need to put the plastic cover over your green house. This can be tricky and you may need to cut lengths to fit but using your duct tape and measuring well you should be able to create a cover for the whole structure and keep it in place with more duct tape or even by plastic ties if you choose, the cover must be attached to each piece of the structure so there is no movement. Do not forget to cut a door in the cover also!
The cover can be held in place at the ground by good duct taping or by some large heavy rocks; some have used tent pegs to tie it to the ground but whatever works best for you.
You now can build your own green house and can bring in all the extras you need to tend your green house nursery!

Green Energy Hosting – Go Canadian For Added Values
The first and the most obvious problem with normal hosting companies are, they use lots of electricity. And since a good amount of the “normal” electricity power used is generated using fossil fuels, that energy use contributes to many problems ranging from Global Warming to environmental pollution due to mining and extraction, dependency on foreign oil and even having to fight wars for oil.
Last year, the servers powering various internet sites in the United States alone accounted for almost three billion dollars’ worth of electricity usage. In this article, we’ll take a look at how you can take advantage of affordable web hosting, either in the form of a web hosting coupon or of small business web hosting that offers environmentally friendly solutions.
The term “green web hosting” might sound strange to many people. After all, most things we see “going green” are things like cars, homes, and other tangible aspects of daily life. However, the internet is increasingly becoming an almost tangible part of our everyday life. Green web hosting has just caught on in the public’s mind, although there are a few hosts who have been ahead of the demand for quite some time.
Now more than ever, people are looking for environmentally friendly companies and are voting with their wallets, so to speak. As a business person, or even just an independent site owner, you can begin to build your brand as an environmentally friendly company, by using green web hosting. It makes a statement of value that many people appreciate, and you are also voting with your wallet too.
The first thing a “green” hosting company does is to power their servers, coolers, offices etc using “green electricity”. Green electricity is generated using renewable resources, mostly using wind turbines and solar panels. Sometimes biomass, biogas, or geothermal methods can also be used to generate “green electricity”. All of your green hosting options should at least include a way to use renewable energy.
<b>Finding Affordable Hosting</b>
Finding affordable hosting that provides environmentally sound solutions to common emissions and energy problems like carbon and electricity is an important part of running an eco-friendly businesses. Small business web hosting is not only a great opportunity to expand your home or small business, but to keep global energy usage down. Choose your blog with a blog hosting company that is committed to reducing the energy usage of their servers. Taking advantage of the increasing number of web hosting companies that are “going green” is a good way to help fight the good fight.
Major cities like Toronto and Vancouver are very close to the American border. Americans can easily locate their web hosting in these cities. This is also added value in terms of money, as the Canadian dollar is cheaper than the American dollar. One more practical point is that Canada has very few energy cuts, unlike some of America’s major cities. This means Canadian servers are up and running almost all the time, generating more business. Canada does not believe in outsourcing services. Most of its technology is indigenous, with a physical hands-on presence all the time. If a server breaks down, maintenance and repair is reliable and prompt.
Our great site hosting cheap provider is Host Papa. They also offer unlimited disk space and unlimited transfers per month. Host Papa prides itself in being a ‘green’ company and uses only 100% renewable energy to run their servers, computers, and data centers. Their fee is also $4.95 per month – but only with a three year (36 month) commitment. A Host Papa account also provides unlimited domains, which is perfect for multiple users accessing the services of the hosted site.

Chevron Redefines Itself by Testing Solar Technologies
On an 8-acre dirt plot, which used to be one of their old refineries pumping out gasoline and asphalt, the oil powerhouse Chevron will begin testing seven emerging photovoltaic technologies to add to their energy portfolio.
The test site will be home to 7,700 solar panels. The seven different photovoltaic solar technologies represented will come from seven different solar companies that are in a position to manage the power demand for all of Chevron’s worldwide operations. Of the seven technologies, six are thin-film technologies from Abound Solar, MiaSolé, Schüco, Solar Frontier, Sharp, and Solibro, and one is a crystalline-silicon photovoltaic technology from Innovalight. Chevron will monitor all of the panels to compare performance and cost versus output.
With operations in 100 countries, Chevron officials say that they are looking for solar panels that are significantly affordable but still more reliable and efficient than other products.
Ever since Chevron started monitoring their resource usage in 1992, they have been saving money by employing hydrogen fuel cells and solar technologies at their facilities. They have cut energy use by a third and have saved approximately $3 billion in energy.
Des King, president of Chevron Technology Ventures, said “By bringing together seven emerging solar technologies, Project Brightfield represents one of the most comprehensive solar energy tests of its kind and is an innovative approach to evaluating new technologies. Testing competing technologies side by side means that we can better understand their potential application at other Chevron facilities.”
Chevron Technology Ventures is a division that identifies, evaluates, and showcases emerging technologies.

iPod 2nd Gen?
Im buying a 2nd Gen iPod ( Green ) i was wondering if they are the same colour on the back and do they scratch much? is it necessary to have a case?
Easy best answer!!!!
Its a nano.
It wouldn’t be necessary to get a case. The the whole body is made of anodized aluminum (except for the top where the hold switch is and bottom at the earphone jack) so it’s very scratch resistant. However, buying a case may be a good idea for protection because if you drop your iPod on a sidewalk, the aluminum tends to scrap off, exposing the silver aluminum inside an leave a nasty mark.
