I’ve been hearing about Function Lab for a little while now since they launched at Henri Bendel’s in New York. The range of supplements - although the word ’supplements’ doesn’t do them justice really - targets beauty, health and nutrition. They’ve just scooped a massively prestigious award […]

John Oates, one half of Hall and Oates, the biggest selling duo in pop music history, issued a very interesting solo CD in 2008 called 1000 Miles Of Life. It’s not overloaded with the catchy hooks that are a trademark of his famous band but it’s still a […]

These posts are still relevant (to me :), so please read/comment:
BEST: Misleading Headlines — water managers still make the big mistake: tell people to use less, then raise rates when they do (and revenues fall). Raise prices FIRST.

Politicians are the only people in the world who […]

Dear Pope — It’s a Catholic problem

Rating 3.00 out of 5

[?]Submitted by Aguanomics Blog

This is not water-related, but it’s relevant when we consider the role of institutions (rules, norms) at organizations.
The Catholic Church made a pact with the Devil long ago: Priests would promise to be “celibate,” but those who sexually abused children (and other parishioners) would be protected.
Well that worked […]

Late this morning, a White-eyed Vireo sat on a branch in a small tree in an overgrown area of weeds, grass and shrubs and sang a somewhat unusual song. Instead of its familiar chik-a-perioo-chik, this one was singing:
Chik! Meew-chicoree-chik-chik-rasp-Chik!
The mew was very distinct, a good imitation of […]

In the old field this morning, a Prairie Warbler sang. I was very happy to hear its wheezy, buzzy, rising zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo-ZEE, which seemed right at home among the dense, weedy thickets in the field, especially on a warm, sunny day with pollen and dandelion fluff drifting everywhere, […]
