One of the major problems with solar power is that you only get energy when the sun is out. When the sun is down (or even just low on the horizon or it's cloudy), then you need another source of power.

Right now, batteries are often used to store that energy for later use, but weight and inefficiencies limit the technology.

This article tells us about an advance that MIT has announced in energy storage. Using ideas similar to plant photosynthesis, they split water into oxygen and hydrogen and later recombine it when the energy is needed.

She's in Egypt.  She's in Minya.  By the Nile. 

She sips fresh strawberry juice.  She eats beans.  She leans back in her chair. 

It's soon dusk.  The Nile turns a color that has no name.  A man in a turquoise boat rows by.  He smiles.

Night falls.  She's still by the Nile, now black.  A boat passes by, casting impossible reflections. 

She is happy.

It's almost midnight.  She gets up from her chair.  The umbrellas strung with lights look like UFOs. 

Maybe..... they secretly are.

There are many people who do things which just don?t make any sense. Some people pierce body parts that are just frightening to consider and some people emblazon the permanence of tattoos in places they will surely one day regret. But the thing that everyone can do which can help them in their lives and still make sense is to make sure that any home improvements they undertake truly do make sense for their needs.

Most offices have many workers working on various issues, everyday. The type of the office desk, used by these workers, and their superiors helps in identifying the quality of the work and the level of managerial task they accomplish. It also provides an image of the overall working environment of any organization.

Many people consider having in ground pools installed every year. What materials do these many people choose to create their pools from? Several choose the wonderfully durable fiberglass to create their pools. Fiberglass does not take the heavy routine that the other forms of pools do. Through years of wear fiberglass endures and maintain good integrity.

For those who want to build a hutch or small desk, or install a hard wood floor in their home, it is important that they choose the correct type of wood. Just a bit of research and reading can give the layman enough information about woods to make the proper choice. Each type of hardwood lumber has its own color, texture, grain and so on. Being able to choose from among the many choices is both a challenge and a pleasure, especially when the chosen type of wood is used to make beautiful and one-of-a-kind furniture or flooring.

Now that you have considered getting blinds for your home, do not be daunted by the purchase or installation process. Everything will be just fine as long as you take the right measurements and are handy with a hammer and screwdriver.

Had another time of laminating side decks and removing water. I thought it was fairly dry last night... apparently not. Had to clean it out a good bit.

Going to HAVE to find a good cover soon.

Dane spent a good while vacuuming out sawdust and various ick that is already collecting in the bilge. In between he helped hold side deck boards and flexed them into place for me to fasten. Went pretty well.

As usual, Dane was a big help and right in there with me. We did have one little incident though. He got some glue on his hand. I told him to make sure and not wipe it on his clothes, since he had half-way decent clothes on. He assured me that he had wiped it on the boat. OK... well we had done that a good bit, but now we're down to parts that we will continue to see, so I mentioned that we didn't need to wipe it on the inside much, since we'll be seeing that, etc.

"Oh, that's ok... I wiped it on the outside!"

Argggg... well, that's one place a little touch-up paint will be in order.

Time = 1.5 hours
