This is uber-cool. My mom spent several years tracing her ancestry back to the Dark Ages. I could see something like this in a genetic map cover as a really special gift for her. Great find, Meghan! Katie Cordrey on Nov 17, 4:56 PM

 Sodium Battery Technology - New Proprietary Ceramic Material for Deep-Cycle Sodium BatteriesA new ceramic material dubbed NaSICON (sodium - Na - super ion conductor) may make widly distributed, home-based battery power storage charged by solar and wind power possible. Ceramatec, the R&D arm of… |
Iggy, you make a good point. From what I read, I understood the projected cost estimate to be inclusive of a final 'system' rather than the batteries alone. But even if the estimate is only 1/3 of the final actual cost, the system may well offer environmental benefits and a cost-neutral alternate or adjunct to grid-tied power.

I like the idea too. I don't know if I want my underarms to smell like grapefruit, but I have used stuff that smells like cloves that's kind of nice. I know a teacher who was using one with patchouli and she kept getting accused of smoking pot. Katie Cordrey on Nov 8, 1:19 AM

Do I hear giggling? I used this method to clear 10 acres of unwanted blackberry vines. But goats will not be confined to eating only unwanted vegetation. In fact, there's no rule for goats. Goats do exactly as they please. Shockingly, it's not always what you have in mind… which makes for entertaining goat tales sure to make you the pinnacle of attention at social events.
