Here is a few tips on how to create your very own vegetable garden. Start slow; start small. ... Build raised beds! ... Be creative. ... Play to your region. ... Build the beds now, so you can hit the ground running first thing next Spring. ... Use a barrier against weeds! ... Enrich the soil now. ... Protect your investment with mulch.
Starting a vegetable garden at home is an easy way to save money -- that $2 tomato plant can easily provide you with 10 pounds of fruit over the course of a season.
Planting a garden with vegetables also gives you the pleasure of savoring a delicious, sun-warmed tomato fresh from the garden. In almost every case, the flavor and texture of varieties you can grow far exceed the best grocery store produce.
Plus, growing vegetables can be fun. It's a great way to spend time with children or have a place to get away and spend time outdoors in the sun.
Learning what to plant in a garden with vegetables, and how to tend them for the best harvest, is probably easier than you think. If you plan it right, you can enjoy a beautiful garden full of the fruits of your labor -- without having to spend hours and hours tending it. Planting a garden that includes vegetables and flowers means you've combined natural companions, and that can turn a potential eyesore into an attractive landscape feature. Read on for more!
Military technology: Laser weapons get real Silently, the drone aircraft glides above the arid terrain of New Mexico — until it suddenly pivots out of control and plummets to the ground.
Then a mortar round rises from its launcher, arcs high and begins to descend towards its target — only to flare and explode in mid-flight.
On the desert floor, on top of a big, sand-coloured truck, a cubic mechanism pivots and fires an invisible infrared beam to zap one target after another. This High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD) is a prototype laser weapon developed for the US Army by aerospace giant Boeing of Chicago, Illinois. Inside the truck, Boeing electrophysics engineer Stephanie Blount stares at the targets on her laptop's screen and directs the laser using a handheld game controller. “It has a very game-like feel,” she says.
That seems only natural: laser weapons are a staple of modern video games, and ray-guns of various sorts were common in science fiction for decades before the first reallife laser was demonstrated in 1960. But they are not a fantasy anymore. The Boeing prototype is just one of several such weapons developed in recent years in both the United States and Europe, largely thanks to the advent of relatively cheap, portable and robust lasers that generate their beams using optical fibres.
Jennifer Lawrence
She has come quite a long way in just a few short years. A 14-year-old Jenn earned her SAG card after portraying a spoiled and rich high school teen for a commercial for MTV's "My Super Sweet 16." (Reuters
Jerry Springer
Before he was busting baby daddies on daytime TV, Jerry was mayor of Cincinnati. Springer, a democrat, was elected to the city council in 1971 and resigned in 1974 after admitting to getting much more than a massage at a “massage parlor” in Kentucky. However his political career survived and he became mayor in 1977. (Reuters)
Christina Applegate
The show "Married... With Children" wouldn't have been the same without Christina Applegate playing Al Bundy's (Ed O'Neill) ditzy blonde daughter, Kelly. But the pilot was actually shot with a different actress, Tina Caspary. Producers ultimately felt that she didn't quite fit and gave the role to Christina who portrayed the character for 10 years. Good call. (Reuters
Bradley Cooper
The actor, who is adored by ladies across the globe, was somewhat of a wacky kid. "I thought only ninjas understood the meaning of life and death," he recalls of his childhood. "So I begged my father to send me to Japan until I was 21, so I could train to become a ninja." (Reuters) (Reuters
Astronomers capture video of platinum-laden ‘trillion-dollar asteroid’ zooming past Earth
Earlier this month, an asteroid whipped past the Earth. Normally this isn’t a particularly special phenomenon — but this wasn’t your typical asteroid. Unlike all the other space rocks that come hurtling past our home planet every month, the asteroid known as 2011 UW158 happens to contain somewhere around $5.4 trillion dollars worth of platinum, give or take a few billion.
Amazon wants a chunk of airspace given over to delivery drones
Many may uttered a cynical “yeah, right” when Jeff Bezos unveiled his plan for a delivery drone in 2013, but subsequent test flights of the Prime Air machine, heavy investment in drone focused R&D centers, partnerships with NASA and others to build an air traffic control system for drones, and even appearances by Amazon executives in front of congressional committees show that the company isn’t just serious about flying books and other small items to customers, but utterly determined to see the plan through.

While looking up all information on this now a days most common thing, i came across some difference of opinions. One guy stated; My girlfriend recently admitted she is attracted to women to certain degree. She said she occasionally struggles with the concept and isn't sure if she could act on it, even when presented with the opportunity. Our relationship is still in it's early stages but I know I want to be with her. She says she's not turned on at all by the prospect of being intimate but she finds the female body attractive. How can we work through it? The only answer he got was how old was she and had she had any homosexual experiences? Here is some statistics to think about, Approximately one in 100 American women and two in 100 American men identify as homosexual, with another four percent of Americans identifying as bisexual. Homosexuality is still a controversial topic in the United States, but polls and surveys regarding its moral acceptability or the legalization of same-sex marriage show an obvious trend towards acceptance and tolerance of the LGBT community among the American population. Compared to UK, they actually double that, Just one in 100 people in the UK say they are gay or lesbian, according to statistics on sexuality published for the first time today.
A further one in every 200 people are bisexual, according to the data published by the Office for National Statistics

Starting a hair-healthy diet today will mean a more gorgeous head of hair within six months to a year, depending on how fast your hair grows. Eat these foods for shiny, lustrous locks
Eggs
Eggs are rich in biotin, a B vitamin essential for hair growth and overall scalp health. People ask me about biotin for hair health all the time — usually, they've heard about it on a shampoo commercial or read a magazine article that recommended biotin supplements. Because our bodies make their own biotin in the intestines, and it is plentiful in many common foods, deficiency is very rare. But in those few cases in which people are very ill and don't have use of their intestines, biotin deficiency causes hair loss. So yes, biotin is important for hair health, but you don't need to take supplements. Just eat a balanced diet that includes some high-biotin foods: eggs, peanuts, almonds, wheat bran, salmon, avocados, and low-fat cheese
Pork Tenderloin
Tasty pork tenderloin is rich in B vitamins — folate, B6, and B12. These vitamins are involved in the creation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen and nutrients to all body cells, including those of the scalp, follicles, and growing hair. Without enough B vitamins, the cells can starve, causing shedding, slow growth, or weak hair, which is prone to breaking. Not a fan of pork? Wild salmon (fresh or canned), shellfish, beans, chicken, oatmeal, eggs, peanut butter, fat-free and low-fat dairy foods, and fortified whole-grain cereals are also good sources of B vitamins.
