beatonna:

If you’re in or from Newfoundland/Labrador, or interested in local food projects and root cellars (are there people who aren’t??) you should take a look through this site, Root Cellars Rock, it’s pretty good stuff.

Speaking as a person who just jarred their first relish anyway. You’re dang right I did.

thedailywhat:

RIP: Sally Ride, at 61: Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space, has died after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 61.

In addition to flying for NASA — “All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary,” she once said – Ride was a physicist and a science writer.

After retiring from space, she founded Sally Ride Science, an organization created to inspire young people, especially girls, to stick with their interest in science, and pursue careers in science and engineering.

how to get your fruit tree to yield

Tue, 17 Jul 2012 09:50:13 -1000

how to get your fruit tree to yield :

In most cases, less than 5 percent of citrus blossoms will actually develop into mature fruit. An overwhelming number of the blooms naturally drop from the tree during bloom and shortly thereafter. This is a natural thinning process. Once the tiny fruit has reached about 1 inch in diameter they tend to stay on the tree. After this point, continued fruit drop is due to some type of environmental stress. There are several possibilities: vog, nitrogen deficiency or excess, sudden high temperatures, a lack of water, too much water, heavy pruning, a heavy insect/mite infestation, hot dry winds, and lastly, constant rain during the bloom period. Any one of these factors that occurs around the time of bloom can cause the flowers and young fruit to drop.

good article for anyone with a fruit tree

thedailywhat:

Cat Signal of the Day: January’s Internet blackout and this year’s mass protests against SOPA, PIPA, and CISPA were only the beginning.

Now, the Internet is getting a cat signal in defense of an open Internet — and its launch, both virtual and IRL, is planned for the same night as next week’s midnight showings of The Dark Knight Rises.

The cat signal is the brainchild of the Internet Defense League, “a network of people and sites who use their massive combined reach to defend the open internet and make it better”:

So on Thursday night, as Hollywood’s latest superhero movie opens in theaters for a midnight showing, IDL members in select cities can celebrate the launch around powerful spotlights rented for the occasion. The spotlights will beam the IDL’s “cat-signal” into the stratosphere, across obliging clouds, or onto neighboring buildings.

Parties like this are being planned in San Francisco, New York, Washington, DC, London and Ulaar Bataar, Mongolia (!) and a few more we haven’t decided on yet.

Join the launch and/or help fund it here.
