...almost any species of tree. While all arboreal dwellings are a treat for the senses - there's the smell of freshly cut timber, the creak of branches and the sound of wind whistling through the leaves - few are as spectacularly luxurious as the upmarket structures created by the Scotland-based TreeHouse Company (www.treehouse- company.com), which look more like mansions than playhouses. The designers can install anything from kitchens and bathrooms to under-floor heating and electricity. The circular cedarwood dining lodge the company erected in an ash in West Sussex, England, for instance, has all that plus a telephone connection...
...holds his weekly press availabilities, DeLay focused on laying out the House's Republican leadership's agenda for the week and received only one question about his ethics troubles.

The idea is to pressure G-8 participants to help reduce poverty in Africa. But this time Geldof's monster may be out of control. He and co-organizer Midge Ure implored anyone who could to skip school or work to go to Edinburgh (70 km from...
...wind turbines provide cheap and clean electricity to the island's industrial estate. Surplus power goes through hydrogen production and storage equipment, and the zero-carbon gas is bottled for future use. PURE hopes to expand hydrogen's applications beyond powering and heating the small industrial estate and running Scotland's only road-licensed hydrogen car. Up to five days' worth of power can be stored, says technical director Ross Gazey. Could that run out after five days of no wind? "With weather like we have here," says Gazey, "that's never going to happen...
