Many Blessings to All
Ambrosia for Evergreens
If this seems a little early, some folks do have a tradition of buying their
Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. So……
To prolong the green and beauty of Xmas trees and the freshness of natural evergreen
holiday decorations, mix a batch of this special holiday concoction.
* add 1/4 cup of Miconized Iron (available at garden centers) to
one gallon of hot water
* add 2 cups of light corn syrup
* add 4 tsps of chlorine bleach
This stuff is powerful and can stain carpets, so keep a plastic sheet spread underneath.
Trim an inch off of the tree trunk and add more as it evaporates. Using a
turkey baster would help in reducing spillage.
Your tree and natural evergreen decorations will remain fresh and beautiful right
through the holidays.
Alright, now hit me with your best family secret recipe for keeping your greens
fresh through the holidays. Come on, tell me…

Summer Weather is hard on your car, higher temperatures speeds up the
vehicles wear and tear. The oil viscosity, fluids and lubricants break
down more quickly, which drastically reduces the vehicles fuel efficiency.
So your car needs close attention in the summer.
You know the summer basics like checking fluids, hoses, belts and brakes.
But did you know: (more…)

On a typical summer day most cities in the world are several degrees warmer than the
adjacent countryside. It is known as the heat island effect. Our cities have become
hot and harsh environments and require a vast amount of energy to make life
comfortable. The strain on power lines is enormous, and electric companies must
scramble to meet peak demand. In fact, heat waves kill more Americans than all other (more…)

At McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, a team of scientists are working on an
ingenious way of solving the low efficiency problem of modern solar panels by growing
nanowires. Todays silicon based solar cells converts into electricity only 10 to 15
percent of the energy they absorb.
To put a nanowire into prospective for you:
1 nanometer = 1 billionth of a meter
800 nanometers = width of a human hair
100 nanometers = width of a nanowire
1/100th of a human hair = heigth of a nano wire (more…)
