Puck's Pages
Welcome To Puck's Pages
In these pages you'll find poetry, photos, ideas & ideals both ancient and new. You will find articles of history and myth brought forward through time. Articles and commentary of a skewed world view. We are firm believers in 'if you don't like it change it'. We also know you can not force anyone to "see" anything, and that you can not change another person; they have to do it themselves.
Each of us (as humans) are irrationally unique. No two people see the same event/thing in the same way. Each word is translated from intent to cognition. From what I say to what you mean. Our answer was Pucks Pages. A place for us to say what we wanted. To define that word that everyone uses and no one knows what it means. A place for us to carefully ( or not so carefully ) choose our words, and feel we've been heard. We tired of asking the question, 'don't people know...?', and Pucks Pages was born.
Originally a 'neighborhood paper' funded by ourselves and our friends. Now it has evolved to a small website intended to give voice to the unorthodox. To the little known. To that which would be edited by main stream mass thought.
Tao For the Month
Puck's Pebble for the Pond
A Quote from Nhat Hanh Thich - (from chapter one - Creating True Peace)
"True peace is always possible. Yet it requires strength and practice, particularly in times of great difficulty. To some, Peace and nonviolence are synonymous with passivity and weakness. In truth, practicing peace and nonviolence is far from passive. To Practice peace, to make peace alive in us, is to actively cultivate understanding, love, and compassion, even in the face of misperceptions and conflict."
We must actively seek our own strength in order to be peaceful.

NASA's Phoenix Lander Delivers Soil-Chemistry Sample
TUCSON, Ariz. -- NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander used its Robotic Arm to deliver a second sample of soil for analysis by the spacecraft's wet chemistry laboratory, data received from Phoenix on Sunday night confirmed.
Results from testing this sample will be compared in coming days to the results from the first Martian soil analyzed by the wet chemistry laboratory two weeks ago. That laboratory is part of Phoenix's Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer.
The main activity on the lander's schedule for today is testing a method for scraping up a sample of icy material and getting it into the scoop at the end of the Robotic Arm. Photography before, during and after the process will allow evaluation of this method. If the test goes well, the science team plans to use this method for gathering the next sample to be delivered to Phoenix's bake-and-sniff instrument, the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer.
The Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith of The University of Arizona with project management at JPL and development partnership at Lockheed Martin, located in Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
