"The model is positioned geographically with the Location element's latitude, longitude, and altitude specifications. This example uses default values for the Orientation and Scale elements, which are included here for completeness.
The Orientation element specifies rotations of the model around the x (tilt), y (roll) and z (heading) axes. The y axis points North and is parallel to longitude lines, and the x axis points East and is parallel to latitude lines. Rotations are specified in degrees, with positive rotations as shown in the following diagram."

You can create KML files with the Google Earth user interface, or you can use an XML or simple text editor to enter 'raw' KML from scratch. KML files and their related images (if any) can be compressed using the ZIP format into KMZ archives. To share your KML and KMZ files, you can e-mail them, host them locally for sharing within a private internet, or host them publicly on a web server. Just as web browsers display HTML files, Earth browsers such as Google Earth display KML files. Once you've properly configured your server and shared the URL (address) of your KML files, anyone who's installed Google Earth can view the KML files hosted on your public web server."

Energy Solutions
- Working with the community is the key to finding energy solution for our Island economic well being. It's not a "Just On The farm" problem any more. Today more than ever we need to being searching for sustainable fuel solutions that work for the farmers and the community.
- Food or fuel options are shrinking as we try to grow traditionally. New energy sollutions for island farms need to be examined that reduce the energy footprint of the farm so that a sustainable model is created. A model that maybe overlooked is the micro grow and press model.
- Micro model verses macro model. There is a difference between industrial production of fuel and a macro grow and press operation that is being overlooked because of the failure to understand the difference between these two fuel production models.
- Growing fuels for farms means we need to see thing from a different lens.Our farms need to change and the community needs to rediscover the local food chain. A farmer need the ability to use his land to be sustainable in food fuel and fertilizer. growing fuel for the farm and using the byproduct for feed and fertilizer needs to remain part of the equation.
- The third rotation adds up to sustainability. Based the information gathered in community consultations and kitchen table interviews we believe their is a need to document the existing projects and share this information so that communities can work together to find energy solutions for the farms and the food we eat

Tomorrow is May 10th - Pangea Day!
In 2006, filmmaker Jehane Noujaim wished for a day where people all over the world would unite through the power of film.
Now, two years later, Jehane's wish is coming true.
Millions of people in more than 150 countries will come together this Saturday at 18:00 GMT to watch a 4-hour program of 24 short films from storytellers around the world. Films were chosen based on their ability to inspire, transform and allow us to see the world through another person's eyes.
Pangea Day films will be coupled with talks from CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Queen Noor of Jordan, child soldier Ishmael Beah, and many more.
The program will be hosted by Lisa Ling, Current TV's Max and Jason, and June Arunga.
Pangea Day will also include live music, including performances by the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, Gilberto Gil, Rokia Traore, Mohamed Mounir and Iranian rock band Hypernova.
Think of it as a global campfire, and an opportunity to take part in a moment in history.
See you on May 10th!
