Primitive Technology: Planting Cassava and Yams

Grass hut Bed shed Barrel tiled shed Tiled hut Wattle and daub hut After being abandoned in favor of the other huts, the roof deteriorated and the walls damaged by rain A tree fell and destroyed the sweet potato patch Setting fire to tree Scraping away charred wood Chopping the rest with stone tools Using a log as a type 2 lever to shift tree logs as slide rails Wood for fence pickets Hammering pickets Weaving together with vine Digging mounds 32 mounds My stone hut, far down stream, 10 years earlier damaged by a tree in a cyclone The ruins of the hut today Wild yams grow over it now Aerial bulbs make good planting material Wild cassava, escaped from early farms in the area The stems are used for planting material It produces large, edible tubers high in energy Protected by law, scrub turkeys have lost their fear of humans.

It will only leave if chased away 25 cm lengths of cassava stems Planted horizontally in mounds Yam bulbs were also planted along the fence so that the vine could climb on it Storm rain brings nitrogen In less than a week the cassava sprouts It will require little attention after planting and will be harvested at the end of the year.

Evelyn Lozada breaks silence on Chad Johnson’s domestic violence arrest

http://twitter.com/#!/VH1/status/235390353853788160

“Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada is speaking out for the first time since her football player husband, Chad Johnson, was arrested for domestic violence against her. She released a statement through VH1 to address the situation:

It is with great sadness and much trepidation that I release this statement addressing the domestic violence incident that happened this past Saturday. I am deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions and made false accusations against me, it is my sincere hope that he seeks the help he needs to overcome his troubles. Domestic violence is not okay and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well. I’m grateful to my family, friends and fans for the outpouring of support during this difficult time.

Lozada may have the support of her family, friends, and fans, but not everyone is sympathetic.

It’s Still Not Ideal, But I’d Take This Type Of Shark Attack Over Any Other.

This has to be the rarest of all shark attacks, and thank goodness for that!

A shark swam up to this guy in the water, preparing to pounce. What happens isn’t your average attack… but it’s disgusting. I suppose it is less disgusting than being ripped to shreds, though. It’s certainly not as painful.

See what happens when one nurse shark swam up to a tourist. It’s ridiculous!

For those of you who want to live in this moment forever.

(H/T Daily Mail)

Nurse sharks, like the one featured in this video, usually don’t pose any threat to humans. …but I guess anything goes in those Cancun resorts. I heard they even put salt on the rims of their glasses. Wacky!

This Dad Made His Daughter A Bed That Even Sleeping Beauty Would Love

Every princess deserves a bed that’s made for a queen.

Kids are encouraged to believe that if they can dream it, they can achieve it. While boys and girls grow up wanting to be everything from race car drivers to astronauts, I dare you to name one little girl who didn’t secretly wish to be a princess at one point or another.

For Redditor Henryhooker, making his daughter’s dreams a reality was his ultimate goal. That’s why this princess bed is so special. If you want to see how you can make a bed that’s fit for your little princess, check out the tutorial below!

Before he could begin the build, Henryhooker sketched out a design that combined multiple pieces into one. His princess bed would also serve as a dresser and storage unit with a little crawlspace underneath.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBM_BTF’); });

After that, he created a jig to make headboard and footboard assembly a little easier.

From there, he cut out the base of the bed.

He had the basic frame together in no time!

He then began working on the staircase leading up to the bed.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI1_BTF’); });

As an added safety feature, the crafter created a little wall to keep his princess from getting hurt.

He cut shelving space into the side of the staircase for all of her storage needs!

Of course, the princess bed had to have a few personal touches.

He even included a set of pink LED lights to up the wow factor.

Once all of the pieces were cut and sanded down, it was time to paint.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI2_BTF’); });

Talk about precious, right?

Everything was assembled once the paint dried.

Any royal would be jealous of this epic bed.

When Dad wants to read his favorite girl a bedtime story, he can choose a book from her vast collection!

And if you thought this setup looked cool during the day, you should check it out at night.

We’re not sure if Arnold told the cashier “I’ll be back” when he left, but that would have been awesome.

Cue rimshot:
