[Old oil]

So pick a floor plan and stick to it. If you think you are not sure, then take longer to finalize.

[Oiled fish from the Gulf]

Lubchenco met with scientists at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab this morning to discuss the environmental impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.

As what she called the scientists for the federal government, NOAA has just under 13,000 employees who are all doing something related to the spill. They're tracking the spill on the administration's Web site, testing seafood out of Pascagoula and working with fishermen to let them know where they can and cannot fish.

[At it again]

Waiting for more pictures, Another important aspect of building something new is the urge to improvise on the fly. While you could do it with aesthetics and other add-ons, never experiment with the house boat floor plan. The entire plan and the design are based on ensuring stability and balance of the boat house in water.

[What constitutes "offshore"?]

For many people, they spend too much time looking at the water and watching the waves as the boat speeds to the best spot to begin fishing. So, if you get seasick, don't go fishing offshore.

[Boats of Aruba]

Just combine it with your vacation in Aruba. Your dream can come true at far less expenses than most people imagine

Your fisherman's skills, determination and strength will be tested to the utmost when fighting with some of the most majestic fishes in the ocean. Many people only dream of such an adventure.

[Bikini Island]

Today, while the people of Bikini have yet to resettle their homeland, the island is populated by Bikini Project Department construction workers and some U.S. Department of Energy staff. There is, however a large population, of Bikinians living elsewhere in the Marshall Islands and overseas, who hope to have the ability to return to their homeland someday soon.

[What happened to Bikini Island?]

Researchers from LLNL have worked out a rehabilitation scenario where treatment of agricultural areas with potassium fertilizer and removal of the top 40 cm of soil from the housing and village area. This method would actually expose the future inhabitants of the contaminated islands to a radiation level well below what is normal from natural radiation sources in for example the continental USA.
