TetraBox Light by Ed Chew & Yanko Design. Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Designer: Ed Chew. Ten Anime Series You Should See Before You Die | Tor.com - StumbleUpon.

First off I’d just like to say a huge thank you to everyone that read my list of ten anime films you should see before you die—the response has been phenomenal—not just the number of people who read it, but also those who took the time out to get involved in the following discussion. Some people loved my selections, some people thought I was well off the mark, but it was clear that there was no way I was going to be able to avoid putting together another list, this time of TV series. It has been a far harder list to compile. Not only because of the vast selection to choose from, but also because I knew from the start that I would be leaving out some shows that a lot of people hold very dear. As such, I hope that at least some of you will read the next paragraph first before scrolling down the list to see what is missing and getting upset.

XEquivalents and Conversions I love the fact that the site is a global community, but of course it does raise issues and problems, sourcing products is one (and see Sources & Stockists) and another thorny area is weights and measures. Obviously, when you move from one system of measurement to another, you are obliged to round up or down, so it's always going to be an approximation, but here is a table of conversions and equivalents, which should at least help!

Here they are from start to finish. 1.

That's why we've compiled this list. And unlike some lists you may have seen, which try to name the very "best" websites, but end up just telling you a lot of stuff you already know, we've chosen instead to highlight 50 of our favorite sites that fly under most people's radar.

But you might consider a dab of "Wet Pavement" or "In the Library" behind each ear ... Special to MORE INTELLIGENT LIFE "I have a strong sensitivity to certain aromachemicals, like musk," says Christopher Brosius. "The aldehydes in Chanel No. 5 make me puke. " And that is unfortunate, he continues, because the Polish ladies here in Williamsburg wear so much of it. Christopher is the perfumer behind CB I Hate Perfume Gallery, a small shop on a street that runs parallel to New York's East River. The shop's exposed wooden beams and minimalist decor give it the air of an austere cabin.

The next thing you know, you're being summoned to court for copyright violations. You don't even have to be torrenting anything illegal! I've seen a few solutions, such as using a private proxy. BTGuard acts like a proxy and simply anonymizes your traffic when connected through them. A free alternative would be to use ItsHidden VPN service. Today's Null Byte will demonstrate how to get ready for the future. ThePirateBay, the world largest BitTorrent tracker, has plans to offer .atorrent files as an optional download. uTorrent, the largest BitTorrent client, has plans to integrate the Anomos protocol in future releases.
