My daughter Clover’s 1st birthday is on friday which in our house means, time for a celebratory accessory!

 Tip of the Day: Lower the deck when cleaning your mower or tractor

A washout port simplifies cleaning a mower deck. You can make your lawn mower or tractor work more effectively and extend the life of its deck by cleaning off grass clippings, dirt, and debris from the underside of the deck, preferably after each use and especially if your yard is damp when you mow.

 Wheels within wheels – the scientific lifecycle

An oft-repeated message from scientists involved with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), mapping the human genome, the search for extraterrestrial life and other vast scientific projects, such as supercomputing experiments is that the tera-bytes, peta-bytes, perhaps even the yotta-bytes of data generated by large-scale projects is hard to handle, to say the least. Not only has there to be a way to manage the outpouring of data from the sensors, monitors, and arrays, but this data has to be channelled through the appropriate digital conduits, dumped into robust databases, processed in parallel, and finally interpreted by the scientists themselves. Only then can DNA be fully unravelled, ET phoned home about, and god in the particles revealed… A team at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the Fluminense Federal University in Brazil hope to one day help big science address this big problem by finding ways to manage the scientific workflow on large-scale experiments.

 Correction: CAT Susch in Craft Corps

Even with a writer and 2 editors working on a project the unfortunate reality in the publishing world is that when you have 90+ people included in a book, mistakes may still happen. Such was the case with Craft Corps and knitting web show host, CAT Susch’s profile in it
