Landscaping on Your Own Home
Landscaping your home is improving the characteristics of the surroundings for aesthetic or practical use. Home landscaping will be easy for you since you know very well what needs to be improved.
The first thing that you need to do is to sketch your home's floor plan. From there you can create various designs that will suit your taste. It will be easier to scale your drawings if you will use graph paper to sketch your floor plan.
Once you have finished your sketch, it is time to start designing your home. List the supplies that you need before your start. Do not forget to plan your budget as well. Look for building materials that are needed. You can ask a professional to help you plan the things that you need to accomplish.
Consider the seasons when planning on remodeling your home. A hammock under a shady tree works well during the summer, but what happens during the winter? Create a landscape that works well all-year round. Also think about other elements of nature like insects and humidity.
If you are looking for a little privacy, be creative in using plants, fences and arrangements.
Save space by adding seating or shelving in unusual places like cabinets under the stairs or large cushions on the floor as extra seats. Do you like to have guests in your home? Place functional seats in your kitchen, so you can chat with them while you are preparing your meal.
Other things that you need to consider when landscaping are:
• A well-planned backyard drainage system can prevent those "wet areas" . • The composition of the soil and its quality affects the types of greenery that you can plant in your backyard.
• Check which parts of the house and yard have appropriate sunlight. This also determines where you can place furniture and plants.
• Look at your yard from the inside of the house when designing it. You can appreciate the beauty of your yard from inside your home . • Ask yourself: How big is the planting area?
• How long will it take to finish your redesigning project? • Make the design functional for the whole family. Each part of the house should be designed based on who uses that area the most. Examples include: study halls and backyard playgrounds for the kids, convenient kitchens for mom or dad, or an entertainment room for the whole family.
Be creative and start landscaping your home now!

Real Superhumans?
I watched a tv show last night that talked about how there are some people who have special abilities. They spoke of:
1. The iceman: who ran a half marathon nearly naked and barefoot in Alaska (snow and all). His ability to warm his body was his 'power'. Most people would have died doing what he did but his body somehow protects itself from the cold.
2. A blind man who has never had sight his entire life paints landscapes. An excellent artist! His ability was tested by having to draw a particular building which has not been effectively drawn since the renaissance, he is the second person to have drawn it properly in history!
3. A lady whose senses fused together. Sounds created ribbons of color in her vision, she'd have a particular taste in her mouth based on certain sounds. Neuropsychologists aren't sure how.
4. Scientists are coming up with a way to harvest human organs on animals by injecting animal fetus'.
What could this mean for the future of humanity?
1.) The icemen commeth - and goeth: Semi-naked humans running through snow covered expances was a permenant phenomenon in southern Argentina over 200 years ago. Europeans were quite bemused to see native (south) americans who could endure such low temperatures with so little clothing. These people are now long extinct, but humans in general are unique amoungst primates in having genuine "blubber". Unlike other apes, humans have a subcutaneous layer of fat which can insulate us when the temperatures fall. Our near relatives the neandrethals lived in northern europe during the last ice age. They were accustomed to temperatures over 30 below zero with nothing more than animal skins and campfires to warm them.
2.) Blinded by the light - or not: When people loose one sence, another sence then develops to compensate for it. The blind tend to develop extraordinarily sensitive fingertips. With them they can "read" braile letters as fast as people can scan text. Its concievable the artist had a clear mental image of what a landscape looked like. Basically, it is one box stacked on another. The boxes meet along the horizon. Even chimpansees can paint a pair of rectangles. The blind painter was using his sence of touch to determine the dimensions of what he was painting. Acrylic paint dries quickly and the difference in height would clue him to where the paint was applied. He also had a good mental picture of what trees and buildings looked like, and could easily add them to the composition. One thing he could not do was distinguish colors. He had to know beforehand that leaves are "green" and the sky is "blue" He also had to know where the green and blue paint was. Given the exact opposite colors and not told before hand, he would have painted a perefect photographic negative.
3.) Got mescaline? Psycoactive drugs work by interfering with sensory processing in the brain. To keep the brain from becomming overloaded with the enormous amount of raw senattion flooding into it, it is very selective as far as attention is concerned. It achieves this by immediately shutting down the stimulus pathway once it registers. This allows the brain to process the next signal. Drugs like mescaline and LSD interfere with this process by feeding sensation back through the brain. This creates "loops" of sensation, and individual sensory networks can become so overwhelmed they begin to spill over into other networks designed to handle other kinds of inputs. Hence, the experience of sound as vibrant ribbons of color. The novel "Just ask Alice" was the diary of a teenager who experimented with LSD. Carlos Castenita was an anthropoligist who studied Native American rituals. Both authors give detailed narritives of their hallucinogenic experiences.
4.) Pork - the other right meat : A special breed of dwarf hog is routinely used in medical research because its organs are nearly the size of human organs. More than this, hog tissue has many similarities to human tissue, in immuniological terms. The match is so good, live pig skin is an effective dressing for human burn victims. The tissue is eventually rejected, but not nearly as quickly as any other known species. Some of the very first heart transplants involved the hearts of other animals. Baboons and pigs were used. The hearts were soon rejected, but it gave cardiologists valuable insight into heart surgery. Future human organ donations might involve a number of organ clones grown from the recepientient's own cells.
