Anthropomorphic + Futuristic = Fantastic Floating Homes | Designs &Idea... Futuristic, yet, but not the far-fetched science-fiction fantasy industrial design you might think – the Oculus by Schoepfer Yachts may not be for sale yet but it is already in pre-production mode with naval architects on board, so to speak. Hardly your typical houseboat, it is a virtual cruise ship for the rich and famous who can afford to buy it when it is fully planned and built. The anthropomorphism of this luxury floating home is of course intentional – the front deck like the gaping mouth of a gigantic sea creature and the sleek curves mimicking streamlined oceanic animals. Complete with a swimming pool on top and a futuristic interior design this is far more like a permanent mobile home than a cruising yacht. The smaller and simpler (both adjectives applied relative to its bigger brother of course) version of this spectacular design is the Infinitas, with a more sleek and streamlined profile and a semi-enclosed on-board swimming pool in the center but underneath the shell.

Places To Visit, Trip Planner, Travel & Vacation Ideas Purple haze: What party drinks look like magnified 1,000 times - and this one is just a vodka and tonic | Mail Online - StumbleUpon Updated: 18:17 GMT, 29 December 2011 An American company is selling posters of beers, mixers and cocktails in extreme close-up - magnified 1,000 times under a microscope. The drinks are dropped onto lab slides using a pipette, then crystallised in a process lasting three weeks. Sugars and acids in the drinks form the spectacular crystals - each drink looks different, and no two slides are the same. The crystals are created in a laboratory at Florida State University - after a chemist hit on the idea of selling ties with the images to raise money for his lab. Vodka and tonic, magnified 1,000 times under a microscope. A microscopic picture of Irish Pale lager taken in the chemistry department of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida Bright: A microscopic look at Sake at Florida State University's chemistry department in Florida It's all done with a normal, visible-light microscope, with a polarised light source passing light through the slide to the microscope.

Complete Guide to Emergency Airplane Landings Image by Martin Hartland We’ve all had the thought cross our mind while flying, “What if the pilot(s) somehow became incapacitated and I had to land this thing? What would I do?” Or maybe more timely for today’s world, “What if a terrorist takes over the plane and I have to save the day by knocking him out with a Chuck Norris-style thump to the head?” You’re a hero, boo-yah! Maintain Aircraft Control (Straight and Level) When you first arrive in the cockpit take the left seat if possible, this is generally where the Captain or Aircraft Commander sits and often has easier access to some of the instruments you’ll need to fly. As soon as you sit down take a deep breath and look outside to see if the aircraft is in a dive (you see more ground in the windscreen than sky), climb, turn, etc. If you are in the clouds and can’t tell the attitude of the aircraft, then it will be necessary to use the attitude indicator, also referred to as the artificial horizon. Make a Radio Call You’ve landed!

Song Lyric Wall Art / D.I.Y. Project A couple weeks ago, I found a paint-by-number at an unbeatable price. I can't pass these things up even though I already owned this particular design. I thought that I could maybe use it to make a fun D.I.Y., but my new rule is that all thrifts that I purchase with the intent of restyling need to get done right away. I have way too many half finished projects in my life. With that little bit of motivation I came up with a fun D.I.Y. to display some of my favorite song lyrcis in our newlywed home. Here's how I did it... I displayed our piece in our bedroom, on Jeremy's side of the bed. A couple weeks ago, I found a paint-by-number at an unbeatable price.
