Multidisciplinary Research
Newspaper article Manila Bulletin , November 11, 2010
Article excerpt
MANILA, Philippines - In many Philippine universities, various "schools" or "faculties" are islands unto themselves having little interest in what is happening in other schools or faculties in the same educational institution. This "silo" mentality can be especially harmful to the academic community in the area of research, in which every university worthy of its name has to excel. There are numerous problems of Philippine society that cannot be diagnosed exclusively from the vantage point of one discipline alone, whether it be political science, economics, sociology, anthropology, etc. A multidisciplinary approach is essential and, therefore, would require the cooperation among practitioners of the various sciences.I was glad to receive a recent issue of Colloquy, the alumni quarterly of the Graduate School of Arts and Science of my alma mater, Harvard University. In the Summer, 2010, issue of this publication, Dean of the GSAS Allan Brandt wrote about the great value of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in an excellent university like Harvard. He started by quoting Harvard's parlance, "every tub on its own bottom" which stands as shorthand for the proud independence of the ten faculties of Harvard and its other institutional units-and the distinctive cultures that flourish within each. I remember that during my studies at Harvard in the early 1960s, the various faculties generally did not talk to one another. Economists talked only to economists. In fact, I distinctively remember that there was some kind of animosity between the Harvard Business School (considered the hotbed of conservatism) and the Economics Department of the GSAS (at that time considered too leftist by the HBS community). There was the reference to the HBS as being at the "right" side of the Charles River and the economists being at the "left" side of the river.Through the years, there has been much more communication and interaction so that today, thanks to the efforts of professors like Michael Porter, there is a joint degree in Business Economics between the two institutions. There is a lot more interdisciplinary research among professors of economics and business. The same evolution has happened among the medical, law, architecture, sciences, engineering, and other faculties. As Dean Brandt wrote: "Cross-disciplinary collaboration is everywhere at the Graduate School, no more vividly portrayed than in our 16 interfaculty PhD programs, which GSAS administers with other Harvard faculties. These include programs in the biomedical sciences (in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine); in architecture, landscape, and urban planning (with the Graduate School of Design); in health policy (with the schools of government, law, business, public health, and medicine); and in political economy and government, public policy, and social policy (with the Kennedy School).Thanks to the origins of the University of Asia and the Pacific, which started in 1967 as the Center for Research and Communication (CRC), research is very much part of the culture of this academic institution in Pasig. The teaching load of the full-time faculty members is always limited so that they can find time to do research, which is part of their term of reference with their respective schools or faculties. …

The Dodgers' shopping list ahead of the July 31 trade deadline might have grown Tuesday when Manny Ramirez was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the third time this season.
Ramirez, plagued with a right calf strain, could be on the DL for "about three weeks," which means "you may all of a sudden be in the market for more" players than initially planned, Manager Joe Torre said. But General Manager Ned Colletti said the team's immediate priority remained pitching.
The loss of Ramirez, 38, was a "big disappointment" because he suffered the injury last Friday in only his second game after returning from the DL with a strained right hamstring, Torre said.
An MRI exam on Tuesday showed it was "a significant strain" and "that's why it wouldn't go away," Torre said, adding that he spoke with Ramirez on Tuesday and "I just said, 'At some point I'll get you back.'"

Earth's Magnetic Field May Be About to Flip [summary] - "Earth's last magnetic reversal took place 786,000 years ago and happened very quickly, in less than 100 years -- roughly a human lifetime. The rapid flip, much faster than the thousands of years most geologists thought, comes as new measurements show the planet's magnetic field is weakening 10 times faster than normal and could drop to zero in a few thousand years."

Winter inside the Yamal crater
The Yamal Crater (previously) mysteriously appeared on the Yamal Peninsula in northern Siberia sometime in early 2014. Thought to be the result of methane accumulation in thawing permafrost, when first discovered the giant hole was too dangerous for people to enter. Now that the ground has frozen, scientists have explored the hole and released a a set of otherworldly photographs documenting their expedition.
"How could I pass by a beer advertised with a fossil?"
"Tasting notes: As a resident of the Pacific Northwest, I'm accustomed to IPAs so hoppy that they attempt to kick your teeth out on the first sip, and keep on fighting for the rest of the drink. In contrast, the Icky IPA is refreshingly crisp with a sly nudge of hops underlain with a tongue-twist of citrus. This is a pale ale to sip and savour, not a masochistic endurance contest with barely-concealed whimpering winces. Apparently I'm not the only one who appreciates the relative gentleness of this IPA: the Icky is their best-selling beer." [more inside]

A red cent on the red planet: the story of a semi-rare 1909 coin on Mars
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), aka the Curiosity Rover is something of a robotic geologist, so it makes sense to include the tools of the trade in some form, including a calibration target. For giving a sense of scale with smaller geologic features, pennies are often used for scale, as a common item with a standard dimension. But why is there a 1909 penny on the Rover? That's thanks to Kenneth Edgett, the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) principal investigator and an amateur coin collector who appreciates the history of the controversial 1909 V.D.B. Lincoln Cent.

The Great Unconformity
The results of the Cambrian explosion are well documented in the fossil record, but its cause -- why and when it happened, and perhaps why nothing similar has happened since -- has been a mystery. Now a recent paper in Nature (abstract) suggests that the answer may lie in a second geological curiosity -- a dramatic boundary, known as the Great Unconformity, between ancient igneous and metamorphic rocks and younger sediments.
The lost island of Ferdinandea, AKA Graham Island, AKA Île Julia
In 1831, the Mediterranean south of Sicily began to boil and bubble, and before long a volcanic island appeared, in full eruption. The English were the first to lay claim to the new island, naming it Graham Island, for James Graham, First Lord of the Admiralty. Then the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies laid claim to the island, removing the Union Jack and naming the island Ferdinandea, after King Ferdinand II. The next nation to claim the island was France, though initial French interest was in the geology of the newly emerged island (Google translation of French text, much from geologist Constant Prévost). France's choice of names was practical, Île Julia, as the island was formed in July. Spain also tried to lay claim to the newly formed island, setting the stage for a grand four-way dispute over its sovereignty, but before a single shot could be fired over its possession, geology rapidly had the last word on the matter. Graham Island/ Ferdinandea/ Île Julia crumbled in on itself and all but disappeared by the end of the year. [more inside]

Richat Structure: the Eye of the Sahara
First noticed by westerners in 1965, when the Gemini-4 spacecraft flew over northwest Africa (alternate source, with link to uncompressed TIF | in Earth photographs from Gemini III, IV, and V on Archive.org), the Richat Structure in the Sahara desert of west–central Mauritania resembles an impact crater or a circular target (or a possible Atlantis, or Plato's circular city, or maybe an open-pit mine), but is a naturally occurring 40-50 km (25-30 mi) geologic dome that has eroded over time. It's large enough that, when seen in person, the scale of the geography is hard to capture. But it is quite impressive when seen from space (mentioned previously)

Solid Sunlight
Libyan Desert Glass is strewn over an area of hundreds of square kilometers in the Great Sand Sea, a region desolate even by the high standards of the Sahara. As one account of a recent trip to acquire Libyan Desert Glass puts it: "Out there, death sits on your shoulder like a vulture." While some would have you believe that Libyan Desert Glass is evidence of ancient atomic warfare, it is probably evidence of a massive meteorite or comet explosion nearly thirty million years ago, similar to Tunguska, but much bigger. The stone age Aterian peoples made tools from it, but the remoteness and inhospitality of the Great Sand Sea has ensured that until recent times it has mostly been undisturbed. However, a breast ornament buried in Tutankhamen's tomb has a scarab made from Libyan Desert Glass, the only piece made of the material to have been found by Egyptologists, and how Tutankhamen's jewelers acquired it has remained a mystery. Until now. [Previously]

The Alluvial Valley of the Lower Mississippi River, as illustrated by H. N. Fisk, 1944
The Mississippi River has the third largest drainage basin in the world, exceeded in size only by the watersheds of the Amazon and Congo Rivers. It drains 41 percent of the 48 contiguous states of the United States. The basin covers more than 1,245,000 square miles, includes all or parts of 31 states and two Canadian provinces. The US Government has tried to improve navigability of the Mississippi River and its major tributaries for more than a hundred years, focused in part by Mississippi River Commission, created in 1879. The river is ever-changing, and in an attempt to understand their domain, and in 1941, MCR hired Harold Norman Fisk to conduct a geological investigation of the Lower Mississippi Valley. The result was a colorful map that displayed the historical course of the riverway from southern Illinois to southern Louisana. His vivid maps are available online in full, but beware: the files are very large.

Death Valley's sliding rocks may actually hitch a ride on ice rafts
The sliding rocks of Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, California have mystified and delighted visitors for decades (previously). Now planetary scientist Ralph Lorenz and colleagues think they've figured out how the rocks get around: ice rafts float the rocks out of the mud, reducing friction enough that modest winds can push them along (PDF of Lorenz et al., American Journal of Physics, Vol. 79, 1 January 2011).

Author has written 27 stories for Naruto, Tenchi Muyo, and Bleach.
Well, after about 8 years of being a member on this site, I decided that it was time to do a complete profile overhaul.
Image Information: If done correctly(I haven't messed with this for a few years and haven't used the new interface for the thumbnails since the last time I changed my image(from a black spear to a Cabbit), then the image should be that of a fish/beast/monster. It's supposed to be Tatoskok, the Native American version of Champ(which most people outside of Vermont/Eastern New York and the small portion of Canada that sits on top of Lake Champlain; refer to as the 'American Nessie). Tatoskok, however, has been in tales before the 'White Man' appeared, so refer to it as you will. I think the picture is pretty badass no matter what anyone thinks of Tatoskok's origin.
Age: 26
Work has, for the time being; slowed down now that the holidays have ceased for the time being. I'm still as tired as I was a few months ago(my last profile update). I'll chalk it up to the fact that I've not been sleeping well and the fact that the medicine I'm on now takes a bit out of me...and will, at least until the end of the year. Turns out that the reason why I wasn't feeling well for the past few months is because I have been diagnosed with Colitis. Gross. I known...
None at the moment.
I'm usually on Youtube(no videos of my own due to the poor qaulity of my current laptop). My channel is the same as it is here(Isilithix). I watch tons of video game stuff, so...Most of my subscriptions are to video game content providers. I am also subbed to the the Fandom Flux Podcast channel: Fandom Flux
Lastly, if you see that I haven't updated a story in a while(like a year or more) and it hasn't been marked as 'Abandoned', feel free to think of it as such. I may go back to it…but more likely than not, I won't.

Pressure washing marks
My painter pressure washed my deck despite me telling him I didn't want him doing anything to it. He did so carelessly and left marks. I just want him away from my house ASAP, so I'll be the one fixing it. (and I was planning to touch it up myself, any way).
It's an ipe deck. I plan to use the restore a deck system and then twp. ( I've done it before and it currently has twp on it.)
Questions: will the marks show through after after that process? Do I need to sand? If so, do I need to sand the whole deck so I don't have uneven stain from the sanding? (he also dripped paint and allowed it to dry, so I'm sanding that off anyway, so the last question stands even if the marks don't need to be sanded.
Thanks in advance, and thanks for all the past advice to others. It was invaluable when I was building/finishing my deck initially.
If you want the finish to be even and the pressure washing marks to not be visible yes you need to sand the entire deck. The next concern is how deep are the marks as your nails or screws may now all need to be reset deeper as well. Why in the world would he pressure washer it against your wishes and my other concern would be how much pressure did he use to put marks like that in an Ipe deck? You need to rethink whom you hire as well!

Multispecies Epistemes
March 23, 2015 § 6 Comments
The epistemic import of camouflage vis-a-vis notions of realism is an under researched area of inquiry.
Camouflaged critters bring to mind not just the intersubjective character of perception but also its interspecies reality.
Different organisms hide not just from us humans but also from a wide variety of other species, playing on appearances.
This means that we humans encounter phenomena in terms of specific perceptual capacities, but not in a way entirely alien to other species.
The point is not to efface differences across species but to explore multispecies entanglements in perception.
Because the aesthetic play of appearances can be life or death in multispecies epistemes.
Concepts and Words
February 27, 2015 § 3 Comments
[Image: Dillon Marsh]
We cannot think of words or statements as simply marks on a page or concepts as simply nouns. What's needed is syntax, the arrangement of words. Syntax is essential to the emergence of semantics, the meaning of a statement. Syntax and semantics are part of the relational architecture that exists between a text and its reader. There is in one sense a higher-order meaning to letters when arranged to form words and again to sentences when arranged to express statements. In another sense, though, "higher-order" is just a spatial metaphor since linguistic meaning just is the arrangement of letters and spaces grasped by a reader. This is the whole point of linguistic communication, after all: to express meaning. Syntax and semantics are part of the real dynamics of understanding any linguistic artifact and must be construed as part of what's considered a "text."
Further, concepts, often the content of a statement, cannot be collapsed into specific words. Concepts and words are not interchangeable. (The SEP notes why the relationship is more complex than that.) Words are often about concepts and concepts are often about other non-conceptual things (but can also be about other words and other concepts or even about the structure of language or conceptualization itself). Multiple words can express the same concept (e.g., "one," "un," "один," and "1" are all about the same concept). Similarly, concepts can be expressed through non-linguistic means—as in a symbol for "one" such as "*" but also as a sound, say, as a single beat. Beyond humans, concepts are available to all manner of critters. (This is not a settled issue, but the evidence is trending in the right direction. Again, some basics are available at the SEP.) We do not need to cleave to a superficial understanding of the concept as a simple, static unity or as a transcendentally secure, foundational entity to accept this premise.
Concepts are complex and historical, open and relational, multispecies and plastic. Language cannot be treated as a privileged road to the concept, as though a word gives some kind of direct access to it, nor can the concept be discarded in favor of the word. We should avoid a straightforward collapse of the concept into the word while still recognizing that language use is among the factors that influence conceptuality. The third thing between readers and texts here is not a ghostly apparition—an ideal concept, dropped in from above—but a sensible apprehension of the content of expression as it is entangled with its nonconceptual object of engagement, which the word brings forth and helps to communicate through its process of comportment with a concept in the activity of thinking. The concept pre-exists its external expression but is nevertheless empirical. None of this is epiphenomenal to the activities of brains and bodies; the exchange is the means by which real entities transform themselves and engage with their surroundings.
The Ecology of Extended Minds

I wasn't going to post this since the event has unfortunately been canceled, but Matt Segall threw his up so I figured I'd leave this here for future reference. The below abstract was meant for a conference on theoretical archaeology in Copenhagen. Readers will notice that the abstract continues to develop the themes that have occupied my recent posts. The paper is about 2/3 finished, and I'll probably end up pitching it to a journal or using it for another conference down the line.
Abstract Proposal: XV Nordic TAG 2015
Title: Cognitive Archaeology and the Ecology of Extended Minds
Author: Adam Robbert
Panel: Disentangling the Neolithic 'Revolution' in Southwest Asia
Abstract: The role of the cognitive archaeologist is to re-construct the values, thoughts, and beliefs of past societies. In this paper I argue that the best way to understand human experience, now or in history, is by demonstrating the ecological basis of all human thought, action, and perception. Building on the work of enactive approaches to cognition, I suggest that human experience and behavior is an ongoing and distributed activity achieved at the intersection of conceptual knowledge, physical perception, and environmental affordance. But what is knowledge? What is a concept? How do they participate in larger ecologies? To understand how knowledge participates in human action, I propose that knowledge is a skill waiting to be acquired. It is an attunement to new contrasts made possible by the coordination of multiple species, practices, and technologies. Similarly, I define conceptualization as a speculative capacity, a performance of the body that leaps the subject beyond immediacy into the spaces of possibility afforded by the present. Stated differently, knowledge represents the acquisition of a conceptual faculty, an ability to mediate difference and contrast in the environment in a meaningful way. One way to visualize this intersection is to underscore that ecology entangles perception with cognitive activity through the enaction of experience. The intersection of concept with sense, then, is the basis for the ecological understanding of knowledge. This understanding in turn provides a theoretical framework that operates outside of traditional Nature–Culture dichotomies and accords with the historical character of the values, thoughts, and beliefs studied by cognitive archaeologists.
Concept and Sense IV: Media Environments
December 23, 2014 § 8 Comments
The internalization of knowledge is to a large extent environmental in that we are absorbed by different knowledge ecologies that propagate within us different perceptual matrices that dispose use towards certain phenomena against others. Here the question transforms one more time, How does knowledge travel? Who has access to it? Which bodies can develop what capacities? The construction of a specific media sensorium provides the environment for the introduction and distribution of certain knowledge and practices. In the enactive approach, recorded knowledge is not a representation of a general class of events but is rather the inscription of an iterable capacity in a medium. A text, for example, is a certain kind of inscription device, to use Bruno Latour's term, a media ecology filled with affordances for new empirical capacities of observation.
A text deals in conceptual or virtual affordances—theoretical as opposed to practical possibilities. Virtual affordances offer conceptual possibilities for imaging alternatives to the present scenario. A text is a record of past cognitive achievements that in the future can act as a set of affordances for the acquisition of new skills of perception in another person. These affordances enable the acquisition of new capacities for participation, action, and discernment. The text is an ecology that provokes transformation. However, the potency of a concept is not in the text itself but in the contrasts rendered available by the conceptual problems the reader must traverse in order to achieve the new skill, to constellate what is available to perception in a new way through engagement with the text. The constellation of availability again reveals the ecological nature of the concept-subject relation. Texts provide a virtual topos enacted by human practice—a topos that folds back on the human, shaping his or her identity along the shifting contours of new ecologies of thought.
Concept and Sense III: From Concept to Capacity
December 23, 2014 § 1 Comment
The question now becomes, How does conceptual understanding inflect itself onto empirical observation? That new modes of perception can be learned is evident in the fact that the empirical observations of the physicist, the botanist, or the architect are not the empirical observations of the lay person. Each one, in his or her own way, brings to empirical observation a particular sense of refinement, a constellation of knowledge, training, and experience that exceeds the capacity for discernment possessed by the untrained eye. How is the discernment achieved? How does one become a physicist, a botanist, or an architect? What are the actions that must take place in order to entrain empirical observation with the capacities required for each skill? In each case, the training process includes a large number of directed practices and behaviors, as well as a large number of machines, instruments, and institutions, but it also includes a substantial theoretical comportment with ideas.
The comportment with ideas is neither prior to nor constitutive of practice. Instead, this comportment is an event that occurs within the limits of empirical practices and environmental affordances, within the thrush and flow of reality, but it is not thereby limited to the contents of immediate events. The task of learning is in large part predicated on the production of spaces that facilitate repetition and practice in a context where repetition and practice do not suggest merely the retainment of the concept in memory but more thoroughly the transformation of the subject through the internalization of the concept. Learning is the achievement of stable changes in the capacity for perception where perception is an enacted performance of certain capacities for delineation and connection. The concept ingresses and becomes a part of the empirical skillset of the trained individual. In this way, we can say that there are practices of representation and representations of practice, which are both entangled stages of human learning.
In other words, conceptualization is a speculative skill, a performance of the body that leaps the subject beyond immediacy into the spaces of possibility afforded by the present. Concepts are ways bodies mobilize perception to achieve certain aims or to render access to specific types of contrast. (This is Alva Noë's definition of concepts, which I largely agree with.) In their multiplicity, concepts are layers of learned capacities for refinement that intersect with the tissues of the human organism. They develop new spectrums of concern and enable vectors for decision-making that were previously unavailable. Learning marks an ecological space where knowledge cuts transversally across sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. This means knowledge is not a separate layer of representations that sits on top of the sensory systems of the human body but is rather a part of the tissue of perception itself. Knowledge is a material phenomena, learning an ecological event, and both arise contemporaneously with perception. The intersection of concept with sense, then, is the basis for the ecological understanding of knowledge and its relation to the human organism.
Thinking of concepts as capacities or skills of perception also has consequences for intentionality. If intentionality is the thesis that consciousness is always about something, then from the ecological view the structure of intentional process is itself emergent and plastic, open to new modes of contrast and valuation. Articulating the sensitivities of the body through conceptual acquisition renders the body able to detect a finer number of details within the environment. The result is an ecology of heightened contrasts and increased levels of discriminatory detail. An internalized concept, a metabolization of the concept into the body's capacities, results in new abilities to discriminate and adjudicate between particulars. Knowledge is a resource for new movement and learned judgment.
Concept and Sense II: Knowledge and Experience
December 23, 2014 § 1 Comment
The distinction between representational accounts of knowledge and enactive accounts of knowledge are not new. In many ways they mirror earlier debates over theoretical versus practical modes of cognition. In the Kantian framework, for example, the conditions under which things are given in experience precede the conditions under which they are thought—but—the way things are thought influences how they are given in experience. The question is, then, How do phenomena move from objects of thought (concepts) to objects of experience (intuitions)? That is, how are new conceptual renderings brought into sensible experience? In the Kantian view, the forms of intuition (space and time), expressed in the transcendental aesthetic, and the categories of the understanding, expressed in the transcendental analytic, are a priori, that is, they are not derived from nor found within experience. They are what is presupposed before thinking and experience can take place.
However, from the evolutionary and ecological view, the a priori, limited here to its epistemological rather than its ontological sense, is not a formal a priori but an historical a priori. In an ecological universe, categories and intuitions are the enacted capacities of historically emergent and contingent bodies moving and grasping through their respective Umwelten. In this respect the Kantian framework is fundamentally mistaken, as many have already shown. Nevertheless, many aspects of the Kantian framework are still helpful to us today. We need only understand that intuitions provide sensory data to thoughts and that concepts provide organization to intuitions. Intuitions without concepts would leave us with raw, un-delineated sense impressions—patches of color, smell, and sound rather than forests, flowers, and rain. Concepts are the means by which sense data are synthesized pre-reflectively, or, better, concepts are means by which new synthetic contrasts can be brought into the experiential sphere.
A consequence of the ecological approach to concept and sense, then, is that the human body is always an intersection of acquired knowledge and physical perception, and this means that the body never sees a thing naked, as though merely receiving information passively. Instead, what is seen is the phenomenon alongside the available knowledge about it, which gives the body the capacity to render it in a specific way, with attention to particular details and traits. One way to visualize this intersection is to underscore that ecological cognition entangles perception with cognitive activity in a way that renders cognitive perception a somatic action performed by the body. Every phenomenon is given within the body's knowledge ecology, which helps present it to awareness. In this context, where knowing and sensing are linked, knowledge represents the acquisition of a conceptual capacity, an ability to mediate difference and contrast in a meaningful way. The ecology of knowledge marks a space where concept and sense intersect, a conceptual sensorium that participates in the organization of the subject as a subject as he or she interacts with the world. Knowledge is a skill waiting to be acquired. It is an attunement to new contrasts.
Concept and Sense I
December 23, 2014 § 1 Comment
In the next few posts I will explore a set of familiar problems: The relation of knowledge to the world, on the one hand, and the relation of knowledge to subjects, on the other. These questions, in turn, connect with two general images of thought, the representational and the enactive. Among many others, we find variants of this distinction in the works of Isabelle Stengers and Andrew Pickering. For Stengers this distinction plays out in the difference between the ecology of ideas and the ecology of practices. For Pickering it plays out through the representational and the performative idioms of knowledge. While I share with Stengers and Pickering the emphasis on practice, I also believe there are good reasons that representational and enactive accounts of knowledge are not mutually exclusive. Instead, I argue, they are different moments in the ecology of learning: A representation is a concept that is not yet internalized and is therefore not yet a part of the subject's lived experience of the world. An enaction is a concept integrated as part of the subject's capacity to perceive the environment and is therefore part of the subject's practical engagement with his or her surroundings.
The shift between these moments marks the concept's move from theoretical possibility to practical actuality. In the posts to follow I will explore how it is that a concept can move from a conscious representation to a capacity of the body, absorbed as part of the subject's skillful ability to engage the environment. I suggest there are three phases to the process. First, the concept is accessed as a symbol obtained from the surrounding media environment. Second, the concept is held as a conscious representation within the subject's perceptual field. Third, the concept moves from conscious representation to unconscious capacity, operating as an organizer of experience. To describe these phases, I first discuss the role of concepts in sensation, which I take as analogous to the relationship between knowledge and experience or idea and practice. I then describe in more detail the conditions that bring different concepts and senses into and out of contact with different kinds of subjects. The role of the media environment is central to this part of the discussion. Finally, I suggest that this ongoing transformation of sensation and conception is best described as an ecology of knowledge enacted by an ecology of bodies and nonhuman agents.

hanging basket help?
msbumble(z6 NJ)May 4, 2009
Could I get your suggestions for flowering plants (preferably cascading or trailing) that remain robust during the heat of the summer? I've had verbenas, lantanas, and others sort of give up on me - they linger near death without actually dying. This is a particular challenge with hanging baskets. I use copper containers lined with some coir, and have tried inserting plastic pots into this and potting directly in the coir, and there's not much difference in the result.
Would perennials be any more durable? Any you've had success with? thanks, MsB

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
French Pickled Artichokes: fridge pickled with lots of citrus and herbs
Tangy, spicy and sweet a chutney can be made in the pressure cooker in just minutes. I've pressure cooked marmalade and hot sauce - so when mangoes magically appeared at the local store I jumped at the chance to make my own chutney.
Harvesting your backyard maple tree sap and making syrup is extremely easy. You just need a few simple pieces of equipment, a 12" diameter or larger maple tree, and the right weather.
A slightly wetter and infinitely more delicious alternative to the potato chip. A hint of artichoke, a bit of acidity, these complex pickles are crowd pleasers. Add to salads, serve as appetizers or eat them right from the jar!
Hard cider is fairly quick and easy to make, all you need is some apple cider, yeast and vessel to ferment in. The whole process can be done in less than a week.
A key part of the cheese making process is pressing the cheese – particularly if you're making a harder cheese. At first glance it seems like a simple enough problem, but pressing cheese at home is actually quite a difficult task.
Make strawberry (or any kind of) freezer jam even more easily with this simple tip. So fresh and delicious, like spring in a jar!
Having been making cheese at home for 5 years now, and having had various home cheese-making setups, I have quite a clear idea of how I like my kit laid out, how I like the space to work, and an even clearer sense of what mistakes to avoid.
Start your seeds without the use of containers with this simple + inexpensive DIY soil blocker.
Looking to start your first garden (or your first garden in a new space)? Here are the top five considerations to make before jumping in!

SEC boasts five top-10 classes
Florida: A
What area of their roster have the Gators not solidified? They added the last piece of the puzzle in WR Deonte Thompson (Belle Glades, Fla./Glades Central). What's most impressive about this class isn't just the top end, but the middle and tail end, too, with guys like S Joe Haden (Fort Washington, Md./Friendly) and RB Bo Williams (Oakland Park, Fla./Northeast). Cornerback and offensive line are really the only areas Florida did not address. The Gators slid from No. 1 to No. 2 in the rankings not because of what they didn't do but because of what USC did.

- $38.50 for one month of unlimited yoga classes (a $165 value)

Bikram Yoga Glastonbury
Bikram Yoga Glastonbury's band of yoga instructors guides students of all abilities through the 26-posture practice. Students begin the 90-minute workout with a deep-breathing exercise before moving into a sequence of standing and seated postures designed to improve strength, flexibility, and balance. Balmy temperatures help students sink into deep stretches, eliminate harmful toxins from the body, and keep confrontational snowmen at bay. Though challenging, students of all experience and fitness levels can tailor the poses to meet their needs, with the idea that through dedicated practice, students may see a decrease in weight, improved sleep, and greater flexibility.
