Hark, midwestern city-dwellers of Chicago! It gives me great pleasure to announce the imminent storefront opening of the Dill Pickle Food Co-op here in our fair city-by-the-lake. The co-op has been gestating just below the surface of Logan Square for more than five years and will finally see its first customers walk through the door at 3039 W. Fullerton near the beginning of November. This event will mark the culmination of extraordinary efforts and coordination amongst neighbors and community allies to create a locally-sourced food shopping solution funded by residents who care about the quality and integrity of the food they eat. It will also serve as the only community-owned co-op in Chicago, which is an astonishing feat considering how many liberal communist fascist hippies live here (we gave the world Obama, after all).
The creation of this neighborhood co-op and its gradual snowball of success is testament to the power of two principles: knowing and caring about where your food comes from and voicing your consumer choices by voting with your dollars. Dill Pickle’s existence is the result of enough people banding together and agreeing that they care about their groceries and would rather have their money prop up local farms and ethical food producers than continue to fund companies completely divorced from their community and the values they’ve placed on food production.
I’m going to keep this post short because I mostly wanted to share the news and hopefully send a few interested folks to Dill Pickle’s website, where you can sign up for a membership, learn more about the concept of a co-op, or see what kind of delicious products will be stocked on the shelves of the store in the near future. I also know that there is far more to say about food production, voting with dollars, and investing money in local communities than can be captured in this post and at this moment. Expect more on those topics as I continue to process some of my recent reads (The Omnivore’s Dilemma; Life Inc.) and a couple of recent films (Food, Inc.; the soon-to-be-viewed Capitalism: A Love Story).

Field Notes From A Mine
Field Notes From A Mine visualizes a 6900 kilometer pilgrimage in Africa, from the southern Sudan to Marrakech, Morocco. The central focus for the work is the perspective of the traveler. Although this fictional character never appears in the picture, we follow his perceptions through images and sound that are generated by the computer from geographic coordinates. The result is an abstract documentary in which graphic elements alternate with more organic forms. Each time the traveler crosses a national border a new section of the film begins, announced by the coordinates of the location. One moment we seem to find ourselves in an underwater world, then the images are reminiscent of a desert landscape, and immediately thereafter change again, to a till more abstract form. Although the video focuses on the experience of the landscape, it was made at a great distance, in terms of both time and place. The completely digital environment is created on the basis of pilgrimages carried out between 1300 and 1900. The twenty-minute-long video contains no filmed images or recorded sound: everything has been composed and generated at a distance. Google maps and audio takes from the Africa Museum in Belgium served as a source of inspiration for the project.

Hands up anyone who moved to Dubai with the idea that, one day, they’d write “the great Dubai novel” – the book that would be the ultimate expat read. Naturally, it would include oil barons, rich housewives, stunning beach-front mansions, glittering parties, handsome Sheikhs, racehorses, glitz, glamour, vats of champagne and lashings and lashings of illicit sex.
Because that is, of course, what so many people think about Dubai. Sometimes I wonder who’s to blame for this misrepresentation of expat life in the UAE: the media, for peddling this “aspirational” image as some sort of escapism for its readers stuck in the rain in Blighty, or the expats for playing along with it when their reality is, 99 per cent of the time, far more mundane.
Maybe those stereotypes were true at some point, and maybe, for the über-rich, Dubai still is some sort of a playground, but, for most expats, the UAE is simply a rather lovely place where you work hard to make better money than you might do at home – and, let’s be honest, that’s hardly the basis of the ultimate expat page-turner, is it?
But books do exist on Dubai and – gasp – some are pretty informative. As a nod to the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature, which takes place in Dubai this week, here are three books about the UAE from which I’ve learned something. Recommended reading for those thinking of moving here? They’re a good start.
Looking from the outside in: Hello Dubai by Joe Bennett (Simon & Schuster, 2010)– Intrigued by the bad publicity that Dubai received when the economic crisis hit, travel writer Bennett flew to Dubai to try and find the essence of this “tangled” place. The fact that it’s written by someone who hasn’t actually lived here is perhaps as much an advantage as it is a disadvantage. At times, Bennett’s pithy observations can seem bitingly cruel but, aside from a few factual errors, it’s a well-researched, acerbic and often informative read. I’m still cackling over the line “Dubai’s got malls like measles”.
Growing up in the UAE: A Diamond in the Desert by Jo Tatchell (Sceptre, 2009) – Having grown up in Abu Dhabi in the 1970s, Tatchell returns to see what all the present-day fuss is about. She has a deep understanding of the city’s history, which allows her to capture its essence in a unique way as she weaves memoir and fact into what’s both an evocative and a thought-provoking read.
The novel: The Sand Fish by Maha Gargash (Harper, 2009) – Far from being the ultimate expat novel, this is the story of Noora, a feisty but penniless 17-year-old Emirati who, in the 1950s, is forced into an arranged marriage as the third wife of a much older, wealthy man. In order to research the details for this story, Gargash, an Emirati herself, interviewed many society elders and she paints a hauntingly beautiful picture of life in the region pre-oil and pre-unification.
Annabel Kantaria is a journalist and author who’s lived in the UAE for 16 years. An exclusive early edition of her debut novel, Coming Home, (Harlequin MIRA, May 2015) will be available for the first time at the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature, March 3-7, 2015.

I know it's an old saying, but it certainly is an accurate one in this case. Visualizing data makes it easier to understand and act on. In fact, quite often, patterns or correlations that you never thought existed suddenly become apparent with visualization. The IBM DB2 Universal Database Version 8.2 product (DB2 UDB) comes with free spatial analysis capabilities in the form of the DB2 UDB Spatial Extender. In previous releases, the DB2 UDB Spatial Extender was a chargeable add-on product, but now, with every server edition of DB2 UDB, you can leverage this capability for free. Spatially analyzing your data is not mainstream...yet. In this article, I give you some details about spatial analysis, its history, and its role in DB2 UDB.
The Next Frontier of Business Intelligence - A Little More About Spatial Data
When most people think about spatial data, they think of maps and latitude and longitude (LAT/LONG) coordinates. Spatial components encompass these but so much more. Think about it for a moment. We all live somewhere and that somewhere typically has an address. Addresses can be graphically represented and spatial operations can be performed on them. A typical large distribution warehouse has many aisles of various products that are part of a just-in-time (JIT) distribution channel. These products are quickly located by some sort of placement code. For example, A23D may indicate that the required part is housed in Building A, in aisle 23, on shelf D. This too can be spatially viewed and provide a heartbeat of inventory levels to avoid stock-outs.
Here are just a few examples of industries where spatial analysis can provide strategic or competitive advantage:
- Branch locations
- Merchant locations
- Fire station locations
- Police station locations
- Locations of lines/pipes
- Locations of offices/personnel
- Hospital and doctors' office locations
- Specialized care facility locations, such as sports injury or physiotherapy clinics
- Store locations
- Supplier locations
- Customer addresses
- Billboard locations
- Plant location
- Nearest railhead/transportation
- Address of ticket agencies
There are many other less traditional ways to leverage spatial data. For example, the following figure might depict the progress of a customer's steps through a retail store. The customer's shopping cart is equipped with a Wi-Fi device that receives informational ads based on their location in the store, and broadcasts the path-to-purchase for the store's top selling products. As a customer makes different turns through the store, cross-selling promotional advertisements are displayed on the screen to try and bring the customer back to the high-margin items.
The following figure might represent the signal strength of a cellular phone provider in a specific coverage area based on continual health-probing information returned to broadcast towers from the device itself:
It would be a lot easier to spot the problem areas in this diagram than it would to inspect thousands of credits that were paid back to customers because of weak signal strength and poor service.
And a business initiative that caters to higher income families might leverage census and income distribution data to help them figure out where to open their new location:
So, almost all data has the potential to be spatially analyzed. Here is a list of some of the most common types of spatially analyzed objects:
- Information about anything that can be located on the earth's surface:
- Natural objects: rivers, lakes, mountains, etc.
- Man-made objects: buildings, utility facilities, cell phones, etc.
- Cadastral: property boundary, voting districts, etc.
- Anything represented by a geometry:
- Points: the location of a specific entity such as an ATM
- Lines: the distance between two cities
- Polygons: the areas subject to flooding
- Location and geometry defined by:
- Coordinates: LAT/LONG or X/Y coordinates
- Specific addresses: Use a geocoder to generate the map location
- Landmarks: Use a gazetteer to get coordinates of the White House, for example
Types of Spatial Queries
Being able to spatially analyze data means making it available to end users for query. Clearly, the possibilities are endless, but the following examples give you an idea of the kind of business-related questions you can ask when you are able to think spatially. (I will give you some examples specific to DB2 UDB later in this article.)
- Simple "where" questions (simple predicates)
- Who lives close enough to this group of employees that have set up a carpool?
- Which of my insured properties are subject to the flood zone warning recently issued by the municipality?
- Location with other attributes (complex predicates)
- Show me the videos of the areas around transmission towers near which new tall buildings are proposed.
- Show me all the cities that this waterway touches.
- Spatial coincidence (spatial joins)
- Which sets of employees could be eligible for a carpool?
- Which of my insured properties are at risk because an overflowing river intersects them?
As disk storage becomes cheaper and cheaper, and companies collect more data, competitive advantage can be leveraged in new approaches to data analysis. Since almost every type of data that you can imagine has some sort of spatial component to it, chances are that your data could reveal more to you if it were spatially extended.
The Epochs of Spatial Analysis
The most prevalent relational databases in today's marketplace have some sort of spatial capabilities, but it is not the focus of this article to differentiate among their implementations (though the differences are vast). However, to get a better feeling for the richness of the DB2 UDB implementation, it is important to understand the generations of spatial analysis.
The first generation of spatial analysis uses a geospatial information system (GIS) application that interacts with spatially-aware middleware to perform the analysis that, in turn, interacts with the local file systems for storage requirements. The spatial application's API calls are translated by a middle tier and tools to the proprietary file format on the operating system. Since the storage mechanism is a file system, it is not surprising that none of today's database vendors subscribe to this method of spatial analysis.
While this first generation of spatial analysis provides for rich spatial analysis features, the data is not integrated with the rest of the corporate data. There are many consequences to this type of implementation. First, it impedes corporate-wide decision making since it, by nature, fragments the single version of the truth. The data is transposed and stored away from the watchful eye of IT, which could lead to unique departmental interpretations of the data. Another problem is that issues such as access, performance, backup, security, privileges, concurrency, and more may arise - these are issues that databases are really good at addressing.
To help address the previously mentioned issues, some database vendors chose to support spatial analysis by substituting their relational database for the file system, as shown below:
This second generation addresses the data management issues of the first generation but does not solve another major issue: a 'translator' is required for the spatial application to talk to the database. In other words, the database does not know about spatial components. It does not understand about distances between two points, what a polygon is, what an intersect method is, and more. Loading up the translator with the hefty task of converting spatial dialect to a relational one is not going to help. For example, how do you store a polygon in a database that is not spatially aware? It has to be stored as a large object (LOB), where all input coordinates are detailed. This leads to performance issues, the requirement of specialized tools to work with the data (it isn't just SQL), and more.
All of these issues are solved in the third generation of spatial analysis, which is where DB2 UDB fits, and which is shown below:
The preceding figure shows that capabilities are added to DB2 UDB when the free DB2 UDB Spatial Extender is installed on the server. In this scenario, all tools and applications speak spatially to the database through the SQL API..
Using the DB2 UDB Spatial Extender and DB2 UDB
It is easy to work with spatial data in your DB2 UDB database, but it does require a couple of simple steps to get you going.
After installing the DB2 UDB Spatial Extender, you enable your database for spatial analysis (shown in the figure below). Enabling a DB2 UDB database for spatial analysis adds specific spatial objects to the schema. These objects include spatial abstract data types (ADTs), user-defined types (UDTs), user-defined functions (UDFs), methods, and a special 'grid' index extension for fast spatial searching.
Once the database is enabled for spatial analysis, you simply enable a table that you want to work spatially with. This action can also be performed from the Control Center or the Command Line Processor.
When you enable a table for spatial analysis, an extra column is added to the table to hold the data types and indicate how the spatial values are computed (for example, using a projection with a built-in geocoder). Finally, you load the data and query it.
Now, there is more to it than this. For example, leveraging your existing address information for spatial analysis involves geocoding LAT/LONG coordinates for those addresses (which would get stored as points in the added spatial column). The DB2 UDB Spatial Extender comes with a built-in geocoder, but you can also plug-in your own. However, it is outside the scope of this article to provide detailed setup instructions.
DB2 UDB Spatial Extender Queries
When the database and table are enabled for spatial analysis, and you have loaded data into your tables, you are ready to perform some queries. Since DB2 UDB is a spatially aware database, you can interact with it using your spatial tools or plain old SQL - which is the whole point. DB2 UDB understands the spatial "dialect" and the operations that you want to perform with it.
For example, a telematics application on a PDA may provide its user with a list of nearby Chinese restaurants that serve Peking duck based on the dynamic request of this user. In this case, after the hardware creates a location box using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates, it could generate SQL statements similar to these:
SELECT name, description, address FROM restaurants
WHERE Overlaps(location, box(getGPS(),2000,2000))
AND category = 'chinese' AND docContains(menu,
Note the interaction of spatial (box) and relational (category) data.
A geological application may ask DB2 UDB for a list of volcanic eruptions in a specific region. In this case, the SQL could look like this:
SELECT name, year, mag, location from volcano
WHERE ST_Within(location,'0 polygon((-125 43, -125 46,
-120 46, -120 43, -125 43))')
ORDER BY name, year;
It is not so important that you fully understand the SQL in the previous two examples. However, note the highlighted keywords after the WHERE clause for each example I provided. These are spatial functions that are provided by the DB2 UDB Spatial Extender - this is what I mean when I say that DB2 UDB is spatially aware. In this example, DB2 UDB knows that a data type of 'polygon' serves to envelope areas of interest, and the method ST_Within looks for objects within this area.
The DB2 UDB spatial capability becomes even more powerful when you mix it with the built-in federation capabilities found in any DB2 UDB server. For example, the following figure shows a distributed join performed by DB2 UDB:
This type of distributed join brings together data stores that may have been bound to separate line-of-business applications in the past, and presents the data graphically for corporate-wide decision making.
The Geodetic Spatial Extender
DB2 UDB Version 8.2 also introduced a new spatial add-on product (this one is chargeable) called the DB2 UDB Geodetic Extender. While the free DB2 UDB Spatial Extender is well suited for many types of geospatial applications, the curvature of the earth can present problems for certain types of applications.
With the DB2 UDB Spatial Extender, you 'flatten' the earth using different projections (for example, the Mercator projection) and then account for the margin of error they introduce. This may work fine when trying to locate a caller's house for a 911 response call (being off by 10 feet isn't likely to hurt). However, national defense applications such as a missile defense system need more precise measurements and must remove distortion caused by 'flattening' the earth's surface. This is where the DB2 UDB Geodetic Extender comes in. It is outside the scope of this article to discuss this extender in detail, but cartographers and geography students would certainly be interested in it. For example, I was surprised to learn that Greenland is 1/14 the size of Africa - which did not seem to be the case when I think back to my elementary school atlas! Achieving greater spatial precision is really the point of the Geodetic Extender.
Wrapping it All Up
The move to make the DB2 UDB Spatial Extender a free add-on product for all IBM, DB2 Universal Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows servers opens new opportunities for companies of all sizes. From large to small, we all collect data, and it undoubtedly has some sort of spatial component to it. The question is, are you using it? Or are your competitors?

The effects of climate change on marine environments have become increasingly evident, reshaping marine ecosystems and the vital "windows" they provide into the underwater world. From coral reefs to polar seas, these repercussions alter ecosystems in significant ways, emphasizing the crucial role of marine windows in our understanding and preservation of oceanic health.
The Vital Role of Marine Windows in Ecosystems:
Marine windows serve as metaphorical portals into the intricate underwater world, playing a pivotal role in scientific research and serving as indicators of oceanic well-being. These windows, including coral reefs, polar ice caps, and coastal regions, offer insights into the health of marine ecosystems.
Climate Change's Impact on Marine Windows:
1. Coral Reefs: Fragile Ecosystems Under Pressure
Coral reefs, renowned as the rainforests of the sea, support a vast array of marine life. However, climate change-induced stressors threaten their existence:
Temperature Stress: Rising sea temperatures trigger coral bleaching, weakening corals and increasing susceptibility to disease.
Ocean Acidification: Increased carbon dioxide absorption leads to acidification, hindering coral growth and reef formation.
Extreme Weather Events: Intensifying storms cause physical damage to coral reefs, further exacerbating their degradation.
2. Polar Regions: Melting Ice and Shifting Landscapes
Polar regions experience rapid transformations due to global warming:
Loss of Sea Ice: Shrinking Arctic sea ice imperils species reliant on it, such as polar bears and seals.
Thinning Ice Sheets: Warming temperatures in Antarctica contribute to ice shelf thinning and glacier retreat.
Altered Ecosystem Dynamics: Disruptions in ice cover and temperature regimes destabilize polar ecosystems, affecting marine life and food webs.
3. Coastal Zones: Frontlines of Human-Induced Changes
Coastal areas face escalating threats from climate change and human activities:
Sea Level Rise: Coastal flooding and saltwater intrusion endanger communities and ecosystems.
Habitat Loss: Development, pollution, and overfishing degrade critical marine habitats.
Ocean Pollution: Climate change exacerbates ocean pollution, disrupting marine ecosystems and compromising water quality.
Strategies to Mitigate Climate Change's Impact on Marine Windows:
Addressing climate change's impact on marine ecosystems requires a comprehensive approach:
Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
Transition to renewable energy sources and implement energy efficiency measures.
Foster international cooperation to limit carbon emissions.
Protect and Restore Marine Ecosystems:
Establish marine protected areas and adopt sustainable fisheries management practices.
Support habitat restoration efforts to enhance ecosystem resilience.
Adaptation Strategies for Vulnerable Ecosystems:
Develop tailored adaptation measures for vulnerable ecosystems, such as coral reefs and polar regions.
Invest in research and monitoring to inform adaptive management strategies.
Reduce Coastal Vulnerability:
Implement coastal management strategies and sustainable land-use planning to mitigate coastal erosion.
Promote community-based approaches to climate resilience-building and ocean governance.
Enhance Ocean Governance and International Cooperation:
Strengthen governance frameworks and foster collaboration among stakeholders for sustainable ocean management.
Support initiatives that integrate climate considerations into marine policy and planning processes.
Climate change poses profound threats to marine ecosystems, as evidenced by the impacts observed through coral reefs, polar seas, and coastal zones. Protecting these critical ecosystems requires concerted efforts to mitigate climate change and adapt to its consequences. By safeguarding marine windows, we safeguard the biodiversity and ecological integrity of our oceans, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Grave - Revisited
"...a provisional figure for the per capita ecological
footprint of the citizens of Adelaide, drawing on statistics
for the whole of Australia, is around eight hectares per person.
If everybody on Earth lived and used resources like Australians
do, four planets would be required, yet we have only one increasingly
damaged planet available for us to live on." ...
"Thinker in Residence" Herbert Girardet - "Creating
a sustainable Adelaide" page 8
world has been familiar with the proverbial "Golden Cage"
, South Australian visionaries have for many years worked on
an equally poignant metaphor for the world of architecture and
urban planning: the "Golden Grave". One of Adelaide's
most sought after "Golden Graves", the north-eastern
suburbs development "Golden Grove", can be taken as
a striking representation of the Australian dream: a nightmare
in environmental, and not least social, terms once the conclusions
of the very politely phrased Girardet-report sink in.
though, I was euphoric. Having escaped the stony city of Berlin
with its 5 floors of apartment gravity in the darkness and cold
of late November, I felt as if something, that was mine, but
forgotten, was returned to me. The sweet fresh air and a lush
Burnside garden, which merged with the vast blue sky and the
continent it sheltered, was like one of the kept promises this
land once seemed to make.
crucial years of my life in Adelaide, which is home to my closest
family members and very close friends, the place is familiar,
very familiar. So familiar in fact that coming here doesn't
seem like a holiday, which it nevertheless is. Whenever I am
confronted with the question, which place in the world I consider
home, my intelligebility drops to irritatingly low levels leaving
me and my opposite confused and eager to change the subject.
However, one image with which I seem to associate home in my
head tends to always be the same: the egg-yolk yellow carriages
of Berlin's underground railway, the "U-Bahn".
Berlin "U-Bahn" is only by a very general principle
connected to the Adelaide "O-Bahn". Both fall under
the category of "public transport". But whereas the
"U-Bahn" is a monument to civic urban pride and a
sense of equality, the O-Bahn is a memorial to a hopeless situation
in a state that has no vision regarding the efficiency of its
urban transport system and which divides its citizens in two
classes: car-owners and non-car-owners. The O-Bahn is a token
gesture in times when the world tries to give meaning to such
noble concepts as "sustainability". Adelaide has no
integrated tram-system, which could use existing railway-lines
to Noarlanga, Gawler etc. nor a bus-service that converges on
one single central bus-terminal with coordinated arrival and
departure-times. Instead, passengers coming from, let's say,
Tea Tree Plaza are dumped in the city in order to continue their
journey to, let's say, Skye from a busstop somewhere - sometime...
Crosstown journeys will not be something that any person will
attempt unless forced to do so by their social status.
there are obvious disadvantages to living in an evironmentally
more efficent city, as is Berlin, the claims to convenience
that are implicit in the total car-culture of a city like Adelaide,
elude me. I fail to see the convenience of the "into the
car - out of the car" routine in order to buy a bunch of
flowers. My Berlin conveniences are spread over a few streets,
those in Adelaide over a number of suburbs, the main streets
of which have a curious resemblance to the navigation on commercial
websites. The occurrence of real live people on either often
seems of equal proportions. It's worse in the "side-streets",
if this is an appropriate term. Even though the signs of human
habitat can not be overlooked, sightings of the species are
rare and probably under the investigation of the BBC "wildlife
and nature" staff. The atmosphere, even during rushhour,
is eerie, when cars, seemingly remote controlled disappear behind
real remote controlled roll-a-doors. No kids playing on the
front lawn, no pedestrians, no shops, no streetcafés.
It is ironic,
even though the "al fresco" chique of the Adelaide
middle-class insinuates a "mediterranean" way of life,
very little about Adelaide is mediterranean other than the climate.
Mediterranean cities, styled on renaissance and antique visions,
were more concerned about the "res publica", the public
life. In Adelaide public life is an option, not a passion like
that which can still be witnessed in mediterranean cities of
is a pedestrian affair, something that is conspicuously absent
in Adelaide. The "tyranny of distance" is not created
by the vastness of the continent but by the policy of declaring
ownership of a quarter acre block an inalienable right for all
Australian citizens. This in turn leads to the tyranny of the
motor morons with their absolute claim to the right to own a
V8 "killing machine".
Many Australians like to malign the Americans for waging a war
for oil in Iraq. This is totally hypocritical since Australians
consume petrol with equal disregard to the environment and world
politics. And nowhere more than in Adelaide where, statistically,
every second person between the age of one and a hundred years
owns a car.
true. Among all my friends in Berlin I know a couple that own
a car. In Adelaide I have none who don't.


Monarch Airlines are one of the largest budget airlines in the UK, based out of Luton they focus on the Mediterranean sun searching market, with more flights to Greece than any other country. If you are looking for winter sunshine they also do that too, flying to four airports in the Canneries and to the Portuguese island of Madeira.
They are also surprisingly good for skiing trips. This is the first year (2012/2013) that they have taken this market seriously, opening 12 new routes in total. You can get close to some of the best slopes in the world by flying to Innsbruck or access Austria and southern Germany from Munich, where you can catch a train into the heart of the alps (coaches availble too). They have flights to Zurich & Salzburg(austria), Friedrichshafen (southern Germany) Grenoble (france) Geneva (switzerland) Milan, Verona and Venice (Italian Alps and Dolomites) Monarch Airlines For other skiing destination try Swiss Air

Florida Boat Transport
Florida Boat Transporters and Haulers like in all other states must comply with the state DOT regulations while operating in the state of Florida. In general when a transporter is operating in Florida the regulations are not that strict. Once a transport company moves the boat to the main highway system the route is clear sailing. The main highways 95 and 75 have high clearance and very little obstructions to contend with with a oversize boat. When transporting a boat on highway 10 from Jacksonville through Tallahassee there a few low overpasses but easily avoided. In some locations the roads are very small close to small communities and boating locations along the coast, this can present small issues transporting the boat to the main highway system but easily accomplished by a experienced boat transporter.
Florida Probably Has The Most Boat Transport Activity
This is because Florida is a terrific vacation destination and a great deal of the transport activity is generated by boat owners from the north shipping their boats south for the summer. Another logical reason is because of the weather being so condusive to the sport of boating, Florida quite simply has a great deal of boat population. Our transporters that operate in Florida have hundreds of relocations under their belt. For a stress free safe boat transport please view our Florida Boat Transporters and Haulers.

Getting in the Zone: Discovering the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map
As a frequent traveler, when I hear the word “zone,” my mind immediately goes here:
But on the Bougainvillea 101 website, I came across the following:
Bougainvillea are tropical and must be protected from frost. In Zone 8 and cooler, you are almost limited to growing them in some kind of container unless you treat them as an annual (plant a new plant outdoors each year).
So of course I had to Google “plant zones.” They’re basically a fancy way of saying that certain plants do better in certain climates.
I typed my ZIP code into this interactive map from the USDA. Turns out I live in zone 9b — that unflattering peachy color — which means the low temperature rarely drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit. It is Florida, so… yeah.
The USDA is quick to point out that other plenty of other factors come into play. These include:
- Soil moisture
- Duration of exposure to cold
- Snow (a non-issue here in Florida)
- Humidity (an ever-present issue here in Florida)
My question is, what else can I grow in zone 9b? The Old Farmer’s Almanac offers some insights. Other suggestions?

A few outtakes since getting to lisbon. This city is absolutely stunning and compared to Montreal, it feels like an entirely different universe. the sun seems to shine every day under bright blue skies and there is not an ounce of humidity in the air. just 30 straight degrees of heat derived from the sun. The people are also what makes it such an amazing place to be: extremely kind and patient with the fact that i don’t speak a word of Portuguese. Between the weather, the vibe and the irresistible landscape that hasn’t let me put my Nikon down for moment’s notice, i don’t think i’ve stopped smiling since my arrival. At the end of the week i’m headed to Lagos and then it’s just coastal beach days as far as my time here allows for.

We set sail on the Royal Caribbean ship Rhapsody of the Seas on Sunday, Oct 30, 2005 from the port of Galveston, Texas visiting Key West, Georgetown Grand Cayman's and Costa Maya, Mexico over a seven day span.
We chose to go from Galveston because we could drive down there easily and not have to go to troubles that traveling with oxygen entail. Needless to say airlines are not an oxygen friendly way to travel. So bright and early on the morning of October 29th we departed Cleburne for Galveston with a stop in Cuero, TX to visit some old friends from our days in New Hampshire. That was a welcome stop, a great deal of fun to see Karl and Freda again and then the final drive to a motel in Galveston. The fact that it took us about 7 1/2 hours to make a three to four hour drive gives some indication of our navigation skills. Luckily Royal Caribbean can afford to hire experienced people to get the ship around the Caribbean. After a restful night we got to the port about 12:30 p.m. and started boarding the ship about 1:00 p.m. No problems with security of anything else and we soon found our cabin on the fourth deck, just a short distance from both the boarding platform and the dining room. I was pleased to find my big oxygen tank already in the room and knew that everything was going to be okay.
The Rhapsody took to the open seas about 5:00 p.m. and is always the case we had out lifejacket drill shortly afterwards. That went okay and out station was one deck above, so not too far to walk. As usual some of our fellow passengers were grumbling about having to do such an exercise, but I though it no worse than those long airline dog and pony shows about seatbelts and oxygen masks.
Now back to the narrative after that slight diversion. The Rhapsody of the Seas is a beautiful ship. The atrium when you first enter the vessel is magnificent with a grand soaring sculpture dominating the entire atrium. Our room, just down the hall from the atrium, is what they call an "ocean view" cabin, with a very large picture window facing the water on the right (port or starboard?) side of the ship. The room is comfortable in size with the queen size bed taking up most of the space. There is a huge closet, storage spaces and drawers all over the place, so it didn't take us too long to get everything put away. Of course one of the first major actions you take when you go onboard a ship is read all the info they have laid out on the bed for you. All the fun things coming up, info on the first port of call (Key West) and instructions for the "mandatory" abandon ship drill. Two life preservers are already on the bed for you to don when the alarms go off.
Talk about herd instinct, the lifeboat drill brings out the best in everyone as we exceitedly chat our way to our assigned station on Deck 5. Everyone takes their places, the count comes out correct and the Captain thanks us for being such good little sailors. Those life jackets are an amazing contraption, manufactured in Sweden they include a little flashing light which is seawater activated, a whistle to get attention with and an uncomfortable fit which makes you realize that floating in the ocean with that thing holding you up is not going to be a greand experience.
So it's back to the cabin and get rid of the preserver then on to explore the ship and watch us sail out of the Port of Galveston past rusting oil drilling platforms, small boats, big boats and a very smoggy horizon. We race another large cargo ship so that we can be in front of the parade and Captain Tao and the pilot handle that job well. It takes about 45 minutes until we actually head out into open water and pick up speed heading in an easterly direction towards Key West at about 16 knots. By now it's getting closer to the first seating in the dining room and we proceed down the hall and across the Atrium to the lovely dining room. Our assigned table is very near the entrance and we join out table mates Tom and Lynn for the first time. It turns out they are from Burleson (just 15 miles from Cleburne) and we are to find that they are good travel companions and fun to be with in venues to come. I have just a few comments about the meals - the service was top notch with Dani and Alvin taking care of our every need and providing great conversation too, the food was excellent in my opinion (small town, non egalitarian, unsophisticated). The menu was varied with all kinds of choices and of course our waiters recommendation for the day. I went with him and on my own. Great soups, some of the freshest salads I ever eaten, and main courses which do not appear in my house at any time. Then they have to top that with some absolutely wonderful desserts. I can say without hesitation that we were never disappointed in a meal in the dining room.
More to come...just be patient please.

Okay. I'm half Thai and a very proud one and this movie is about...well, Thailand back when it was Siam during the Victorian period and during Rama IV's (King Mongkut to the rest of the world) reign in Thai historical terms. Every version of Anna and The King is banned in Thailand. Only Anna's memoir is occasionally published in Thailand. I was lucky enough to see it on the aeroplane going to Canada back in 2000, my dad, who is Thai, refused to watch it and went to sleep. Mum and I, however enjoyed it, and I watched the cartoon musical while I was in Canada as well. Eight years later. I accidently come across it on a television, on our 'poached' African movie channel (I KNOW, SO FREAKING RANDOM) and fell in love with it again, it never aired again, as I'm pretty sure the Thai official's found out about it and cut the channel off...but who knows? the reception could of been bad? :/
I come to Australia and for my final assignment this semester at uni, it was a rather free for all, so I chose to write about what I knew best: Home. That is Thailand. And I decided to rent Anna and The King again just to watch and for the third time, fell in love with it. Now that I'm in Australia, I can buy it to own, I ordered it off Ebay and I'm awaiting for it to arrive. In the mean time I made this picspam of the entire movie. I have never made a picspam of an entire movie before, so I've split in to two parts. I'm posting the first part tonight then going to bed as its past one AM.
