Behind the Scenes at Aqua Vita Farms, Growing Aquaponic Fish and Produce in Sherrill, NY. SLIDESHOW: Behind the Scenes at Aqua Vita Farms, Growing Aquaponic Fish and Produce in Sherrill, NY [Photographs: Max Falkowitz] You probably already know about aquaculture: the domestication of fish for food in enclosed spaces.
And you may have had hydroponic produce: plants like lettuce grown in water instead of soil under controlled conditions. But how about aquaponics? Put simply, aquaponic agriculture combines fish-based aquaculture with plant-based hydroponics in a closed system, where the waste products of one process become food for the other, all contained in a climate-controlled environment that allows farmers to adjust nearly every environmental variable that they want.
Aquaponics isn't just a way to grow fish and produce independent of climate. Traditionally, both aquaculture and hydroponics generate serious waste. A model of the aquaponic system: plants feeding fish feeding plants. That doesn't mean aquaponic farming is easy. Toronto Underground Market: Part Deux. Start the day off right… » Koshka Blog.

Matt Seneca On The Brooklyn Comics And Graphics Fest, Reviews Elf Booklets 1-4. Matt Seneca writes an impassioned report on this past weekend's Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest.
He includes several reviews of books he found including my four Elf Booklets, zines of drawings I made, employing Raymond Pettibon's aesthetics, inspired by the movie "American Psycho. " Here's a few highlights from the review: Ben Marra has been the single most important artist of action comics going for a few years now, and the new issue of his slashers 'n' strippers series Night Business that came out at the Fest only strengthens his case as the modern era's heir to the comics-about-fighting throne. Much as his work outclasses Avatar and outguns Marvel, though, Marra has an equally strong affinity for the avant-garde, and his truly bizarre quasi-adaptation of everyone's favorite Christian Bale movie (what) shows off the more uncompromising side of what's already a rock hard aesthetic.
And: But the real story here is Marra's art, which is far and away the best work of his career. Teaser: Jeremy Geddes @ Jonathan LeVine Gallery.

Artist Victor Moore Builds an Incredible Junk Castle for Just $500. Perched atop a defunct rock quarry in Washington state, the "Junk Castle" is an ornate abode that was built completely out of salvaged materials for just $500.

Read on for a closer look at this fascinating recycled building!
