Presently I'm making my own photovoltaic panels. I'm making it all alone without the assistance of my men. I am using the net as the only path to acheive this. I encountered a very brilliant website that explains how to build solar panels and so on. The site explains all the steps needed for solar panel construction.<br /><br />I am not exactly sure bout how accurate the data given there is. If some experts over here who have experience with these things can have a peak and give your feedback in the page it will be great and I would extremely value it, cause I really lav solar panel construction.<br /><br />Thanks for reading this.

I see that you must be about as busy as a person could get for this upcoming weekend. FYI all of the Datura is poisonous. Outside, here in N.Calif. they become a large bush covered with those fabulous flowers. It is amazing that yours made one blossom! It is different than the datura found in the desert, this one comes from the rainforest. Beautiful and toxic, it does need to be somewhere out of reach of children.

I love the idea of a Yart Sale because I'm so hapless and 'unartistic'. You do well on rainy days. I get the lazy's and read or cover myself in a doona and watch DVD's.

But at least I can wish you all the best for this meeting ánd of course dry sunny weather. The upsidedown flower is a Datura. This is a plant you can put in a pot outside, but they have to be frostfree in winter. There is something poisonous about it, but I don't know what part. Think of Stella!
