I could go down the pub and get drunk, fall over and wake up with a hangover or I could make a deep minimal tech house track with Logic Studio and a few synthesizers. Midnight Rain Train is now in production. Sound design.

It does, your computer screen needs cleaning doesn't it ? and you have been putting it off for far too long now haven't you ?

Maybe, Maybe not. An amazing sight, adventurous architecture and a disaster waiting to happen. Man still under-estimating the forces of nature in the latest millennium..... still a stunning concept though....

Polar bears may not be the only Arctic wildlife threatened by global warming. Scientists have discovered that Arctic foxes also struggle as the ice disappears because they rely on the frozen seas to survive the bleak winters. Researchers tracked the movements of 14 young foxes as they faced their first Arctic winter in northern Alaska, where the temperature plunges to -30C and it is dark for 24 hours a day. Only three animals survived the winter, by wandering hundreds of miles across the frozen sea ice looking for seal carcasses left by polar bears. The 11 foxes that remained on the mainland perished.

The scientists said taking to the ice could help foxes survive because there were fewer predators and food was easier to find than on land. But they said the discovery raised new concerns over the foxes' survival in the face of diminishing Arctic ice cover. Sea ice in the Arctic region, formed from frozen seawater, has shrunk dramatically in recent years and could reach a new record low this summer. Experts said this week that this year's ice melt season has started sooner than usual. [source - guardian on-line] more info

The newly discovered second brightest star in our Galaxy is the "Peony Nebulae Star" and it's located in the central region of our Milky Way. While the existence of the star was already known, it was not until the Spitzer telescope was able to pierce the dust in the nebulae that scientists were able to calculate it's brightness. According to NASA the star puts out light equivalent to 3.2 million suns.
