In a painstaking investigation, this report amassed compelling evidence to finally uncover the identity of Prisoner X, sending shock-waves around the world when it broke the story. A unique insight to the case.
In early 2010 a man was escorted to arguably the most secure prison cell in Israel. The guards taking him there had no idea who he was or what he'd done. "It is simply a person without a name and without an identity who is placed in complete and absolute isolation from the outside world. There is confidentiality surrounding the detainee in every respect" a prison official stated. When word leaked about the mysterious inmate, Israeli media began to report and speculate but no sooner had a handful of stories been published, than the coverage was shut down by one of the most comprehensive suppression orders conceivable."Hermetically sealing him away in all human terms, even within the prison, suggests that it had to be something very, very touchy", Warren Reed, a former ASIS agent tells us. Prisoner X, or Ben Zygier, a Jewish-Australian citizen, may have been a Mossad agent. So why would the Israeli service make him disappear? Warren Reed reckons we may never find out: "I think this will probably be under lock and key for 50 to 75 years, if not never to be released." But as international pressure mounts, the Knesset has launched an inquiry.

Herring Cove
What a change in the weather from a blizzard last Saturday to warm breeze and 6 degrees yesterday. I went for a long walk on Herring Cove beach and took my camera along with me.

2011. High Summer. In July and August there's staking to be done and roses to deadhead.
Hydroponics, Onions, Aerogarden, Bay Laurel, Oleander,Rosemary, Meyer Le...
A quick look around at some of the things that are growing in the house in mid-winter. The nutrients for the Hydroponic garden arrived and the seedlings have had their first feeding. The onions seed planted last week are up and growing. The herbs in the Aerogarden have started to put on some size and I harvested some of the dill today to use in a potato salad. A look at some of the tender plants that are over wintering in the house Oleander about to bloom, Bay Laurel and Rosemary enjoying thew winter sun through glass and my very small Meyer Lemon in bloom. To close everything off a visit to the basement to see that amazing growth that the Artichoke it putting on under a grow lamp.

Candlemas and Groundhog's Day February 2nd.
Today is Candlemas and Groundhog's Day both of these occasions have weather forecasting lore attached to them. As near as I can tell Groundhog's Day began in 1887 and Candlemas day is a Catholic Feast Day and I'm not sure of it's origin but likely in the middle-ages or earlier. The little rhyme for Candlemas Day says, If Candlemas Day be fair and clear there'll be two winters in the year. With Groundhogs Day if the Groundhog can see it's shadow there will be six more weeks of winter but if it is overcast and no shadows then winter is over. So they both give similar predictions of bad weather to follow if it is a bright sunny day. Here in North America both Canada and the United States have famous Groundhogs and their attendants in black tie and tails bring them out with great ceremony to see if they can see their shadows. I'm just curious in your part of the world are either one of these observations talked about or is it just the nut cases on this side of the pond.
