It is worth noting the phrase neutrinos faster than lightin the recent Cern experiments, but the gutter press, and some (*)supposedly quality newspapers are reporting that neutronshave travelled faster than light through several hundred kilometres of rock to a lab in Italy!

One of my favourite songs from the late Eva Cassidy. The songs origins are traced back hundreds of years and appear in English, Scottish and Irish records, with differences of language but the same message. The Water Is Wide - Eva Cassidy lyrics: The water is wide, I can-not cross o'er. And neither have I the wings to fly. Build me a boat that can carry two, And both shall row, my true

A hypertufa water trough. You could also plant flowers in it. Hypertufa is a mix if 2 parts portland cement,3 parts sand and 3 parts sphagnum moss. Why use this mix instead of concrete? Because it stays workable for a period of time. I was able to rough up the exterior with a wire brush and drill a hole in the basin with little effort. I have an old pump that I'll put with it for some decor in

The Angel's Trumpet is a tropical but has been much happier with our cool late Sept. weather. It's blooming like crazy and emits a fantastic fragrance in the early morning.

The garden shed I built during the spring/summer of 2011 in central Illinois.(U.S.) I still need to do some landscaping around it but the weather hasn't been that great. A heatwave and drought has curtailed operations. Cool weather is promised for next week! :)
