Riley: The real 9/11 K9 hero - FilmLou It had come to my attention that photos and video of yellow lab search and rescue dog had been identified as "Bear." There were statistics that Bear had made 30-40 live finds at Ground Zero. In reality there were only 20, made over a period of 22 hours. Some say that Bear is merely urban legend.Very few photos exist of Bear working at Ground Zero, however one depicts him being transported high over the pit in an elaborate rope rig and stokes basket.In searching through my Ground Zero video I've found the REAK S&R dog depcited in the photo. His name is named "Riley" a member of Pennsylvania's Urban Search and Rescue Task Force. Find out for yourself -- just listen to the audio track.

This stove is a partial oxidation gas generator stove. It produces Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Methane and other cracked organic compounds.

edible wild stinging nettle permaculture - In this video, Matt Berry of the Regenerative Design Institue (RDI) discusses the finer points of stinging nettle harvesting. Harvesting nettles can really adhere to the principles of permaculture by using the surplus nature has to offer. In many places, nettle is in extreme abundance and requires little or no input to grow. In this video, Matt shows us a particular type of sustainable wildcrafting technique. If you top the nettle at the right time when it is young and good to eat, more nettle will grow back. This can help the plant and increase the harvest. Nettle is by far the most nutritious plant in my garden, being a superfood with loads of vitamins and minerals, including chlorophyll and calcium. The poison in the stinging spines on nettles are rendered harmless by drying or cooking. You can also check out some cool nettle beer recipes in Buhner's Sacred Herbal and Healing Beers as well as figure out how to make lacto fermented nettle beer in Jessica Prentice's Full Moon Feast: The Hunger for Connection

Suburban Renewal - One Backyard at a Time Peak Moment 37: Jan Spencer shows his quarter-acre permaculture project transforming a typical suburban lot.

What Is Permaculture - a future of possibility
Lama Foundation, located in the Mountains of New Mexico is host to Grow Here Now and Build Here Now. Annual workshops which bring together teachers as well as students of sustainability. Join us as we examine "what is permaculture" as we attend the Grow Here Now - Convergence at Lama. Permaculture is a word originally coined by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the mid 1970's to describe an "integrated, evolving system of perennial or self-perpetuating plant and animal species useful to man" 'Consciously designed landscapes which mimic the patterns and relationships found in nature, while yielding an abundance of food, fibre and energy for provision of local needs. People, their buildings and the ways in which they organize themselves are central to permaculture. Thus the permaculture vision of permanent or sustainable agriculture has evolved to one of permanent or sustainable culture
