Vertical Veg — Grow your own vegetables DIY $2 self-watering garden bed - Grow produce easily, even in the toughest drought conditions - NaturalNews.com Thursday, June 26, 2014 by: Carolanne WrightTags: self-watering garden bed, sustainable agriculture, drought conditions (NaturalNews) "When life gives you lemons, share them with neighbors!" enthuses the Food is Free Project, a grassroots organization based out of Austin, Texas. The project isn't advocating sharing bad luck; instead, it's championing the idea of connecting neighbors and communities with a bounty of free, homegrown fresh produce. It all began as a single, front yard organic vegetable garden with a sign explaining that the food was free for the taking. The founders of the project realized that most people don't grow their own food because of financial considerations, as well as the time it takes to maintain the plot. A zany video demonstrating how to build the raised bed, along with a wealth of other gardening resources, can be found at the Food is Free Project website. As wisely observed by Buckminster Fuller, "You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

Achtung die Stadt! - Sternstunde Philosophie Die einen haben Angst vor ihr, andere suchen sie in der Agglomeration, und dritte fühlen sich magisch von ihr angezogen: die Stadt. Juri Steiner diskutiert mit den beiden Stadtexperten Anna Schindler und Philip Ursprung über urbane Bedürfnisse, Werte und Utopien der Schweizer Stadt- und Raumplanung. Städte sind dynamisch: Sie schrumpfen, wachsen, passen sich an geographische, klimatische, politische und wirtschaftliche Situationen an. Aber bewegen sich die Seelen der Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner mit der Stadt? Urbanisten sagen, dass die Abneigung der Schweizerinnen und Schweizer gegen alles Wuchtige städtische Architektur hierzulande kaum möglich mache. Die Stadtentwicklerin Anna Schindler und der Architekturhistoriker Philip Ursprung erzählen vom Stadt-Land-Graben, den Herausforderungen des ebenso komplexen wie faszinierenden Systems Stadt und man in der Schweiz von den Favelas in der Dritten Welt alles lernen könnte.

ThriveLiving 10 Ways To Create An Open Culture Three years ago, Grey London really needed to change. The industry had changed, the media landscape had changed and Grey remained a relatively successful (in financial terms at least), safe, but dull London outpost of a global network. Not a great, or ultimately sustainable, place to be if you’re in a creative industry. Grey had tried to change before. As a team, we have a shared dissatisfaction for how most agencies choose to work. To achieve actual change rather than paper change we needed three things: vision, courage and urgency, with the greatest focus on the latter--because talking about change rather than doing it is where most programs come unstuck. And we have. Here, based on our experience, are 10 ways to become Open. Don’t just strategize for change All businesses need to change. Strategy is, in fact, the easy bit. Do it now Pick the right team The operative word here is team. Do as I do, not as I say Fundamentally, culture is the behavior of management. Engage, don’t mandate
Dorms Tell us how you got started painting graffiti? It was the summer between 8th and 9th grade. I had just moved from Los Angeles to San Diego. My pop still lived up in Los Angeles and every other weekend I had to go visit him. I remember staring out the window and seeing all the graffiti on the freeways of LA in the '80s. When I moved to San Diego I rode my skateboard to a ditch with a homey from school and bombed it up with some wack shit. Who were some of your early influences? Well when I first started I gotta say Gkae, Chunk, Siner and Brail I didn't really start doing anything substantial until I met Huge, Fokus, and Chie. What do think about bombing, and street writers versus legal walls. That is a double-edged sword for sure. How to you feel about Graffiti on the Internet? When I started writing there was no Internet, and mags were pretty hard to come by. Any good chase stories? In like 1998 I was living in Berkeley. I love rocking big walls and productions with themes and backgrounds.

7-Sauces-That-Taste-Better-Homemade.html?smid=fb-nytimes&WT.z_sma=MG_7ST_20140716&bicmp=AD&bicmlukp=WT Two weeks ago I provided nine nonbeef burger recipes. Consider these recipes an addendum: homemade alternatives to the bottled and jarred condiments that are lined up like summer’s foot soldiers on our refrigerator doors. Why spend time making your own condiments? A legitimate question, even for cooks who embrace the D.I.Y. mentality that yields things like homemade salad dressings, salsas and hummus, all of which could be considered “condiments” in their own right. But when it comes to ketchup and its brethren — relish, barbecue sauce and the like — most of us cave and revert to the store-bought versions. Resist that impulse. My ketchup, for example, is a respite from the commercial brands laden with high-fructose corn syrup. None of these can languish in your fridge for months on end, which is what happens when you don’t load things up with preservatives.
