Saving Stuff

What kinds of things have you enjoyed doing in West Palm Beach, FL?

My girlfriend and I are going to West Palm Beach, FL for a wedding in the beginning of August. We have a couple of ideas about what we will do while we are their: Rapids Water Park, kayaking, fireworks (they are illegal where we are now), the science museum in Ft. Lauderdale, a day or 2 excurision to orlando to see some Disney stuff (though we dont want to spend much time up there because our hotel is already paid for in Boca Raton-which is near West Palm Beach).

If you like to gamble there’s the Palm Beach Kennel Club (dog track), or you could go to the Coconut Creek Casino on Sample near Boca.

You could take her on the Palm Beach Princess (nice buffet for brunch or dinner) and sailing for about 5 hours and other entertainment is on the ship, too.

Of course you guys could go cruising in Palm Beach and look at the large mansions on the beach. If she likes to shop, take her to the Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens.

Of course there’s the beach, and depending on your tastes in entertainment- there’s Rachel’s Steakhouse on 45th Street. Some couples like to go there for kicks. If you remember, it’s suppose to be a “classy” gentleman’s club. If you guys want a taste of something extraordinary.

Enjoy your stay in sunny West Palm Beach. Man, I’m home sick. I moved to Atlanta last year. Miss the sunshine! Have fun, though.

What are the causes of polar bears getting closer to extinction?Why is it important to understant the issue?

I am doing a ecology project in my biology class. We chose a conservation issue to focus on and we are to create a flyer on our issue and present it in front of the class. I am going to choose the topic about polar bears nearing extinction. Any input will help.
Thanks!

I did a similar project in biology a couple years ago.
There is a ton of information out there…
What I found is that melting glaciers are creating greater distance between ice floes. Hence, polar bears have to swim greater distances from piece to piece. They get tired and drown. In 2005, I think, there were more than 70 found dead from drowning.
Additionally, with warming temperatures, polar bears are moving into habitats they didn’t previously occupy, and leaving ones they did. People and polars don’t mix too well.
Another issue is the entire food chain itself. All aspects of the environment are changing… too little food for this leads to too little food for that leads to hungry polar bears.
Like I said, there’s a bunch of stuff out there – google!
Good luck!

Why is Israel in a constant state of war and or occupation of other nations ?

The gazza strip is outside thier national border

Its considered a holy land by Christians/Muslims/Jewish.
The area occupied has the holiest sites that they all claim as their own.
All of them share the blame. They just can’t let people live in their area that belong to another religion “because GOD told them so”
the gazza strip belongs to Palestine.
It’s not Israel alone. It’s religion that does it.
