Isaac's Live Lip-Dub Proposal



On Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012, I told my girlfriend to meet me at my parent's house for dinner. When she arrived I had stationed my brother to sit her in the back of an open Honda CRV and give her some headphones. He "wanted to play her a song"...

What she got instead was the world's first Live Lip-Dub Proposal.

denim revolutions

The truly fashion savvy are always thinking ahead about what to wear: next week, next month, next season. One of the most prominent trends to be emerging is autumnal denim. Perfect for the changing weather, denim makes for an ideal transitional fabric and is also one of the hottest styles of the year.










When it comes to thinking about the best way to apply this trend denim jackets stand out enormously. They are so easy to wear and are thus perfect in their simplicity and a simply perfect choice alongside anything from amidi skirt to tapered wool trousers, or thrown over a refined evening dress for an unbeatably cool boyfriend look.
That classic shade of blue denim is without a doubt always reliable, but there’s no need to leave at that. You could try a cropped pale pink denim jacket or perhaps something even more colourful like vibrant red jeans. You could even dabble in metallics, with labels including Helmut Lang incorporating shades of silver into their denim.
The foremost thing with this trend is that, whatever ideas you have about denim, forget them! This fabric is going through so many innovations and transformations that it is a world apart from what it used to be. Of course that does not mean that traditional blue jeans are dropping off the fashion radar any time soon!

It's a moment Marine Lance Cpl. Thomas Smith will never forget — he kissed Katy Perry, and you bet he liked it. And the moment is going to last a long time thanks to this stunning photograph quickly snapped by Cpl. Jeffrey Drew. 
If you wander around Times Square this Fleet Week, you'll notice 'Welcome' banners carrying the famous photograph of a Sailor sweeping a nurse into an kiss in celebration of WWII victory. 
Well, there's a new photo in town. And, who knows, it may even appear on next year's banners. 

The Ten Sexiest Destinations on Earth



 Boring vacations are a thing of the past. Forget about dreary resorts and rainy cities! Concentrate on sexy, sizzling, and breathtaking destinations—places where romance and love thrive. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, special honeymoon or just a trip with close friends, we have picked what we think are the most desirable destinations in the world.

Santorini
This pretty Greek island is famous for its breathtaking views, stunning sunsets, and unusual beaches (there’s a black pebble beach, red beach, and white beach which is only accessible from the sea). The white-washed traditional Cycladic buildings and blue-domed churches give Santorini its unique character which has long been popular with the fashionable set.

Paris
It wouldn’t be possible to write an article about the sexiest spots on earth without mentioning Paris, which everyone recognizes as one of the most romantic cities in the world. This city of love is also one of the sexiest spots to visit, thanks to its chic designer boutiques, dramatic gourmet restaurants, grand buildings and impressive galleries.

Krabi
Located in Thailand approximately 800km from Bangkok is this stunning destination which is popular with honeymooners. The palm-fringed sandy beaches in Krabi are white and soft underfoot and the water is crystal clear, making it ideal for snorkeling. With a backdrop of lush green mountains and secret caves to discover, this destination is made for exploring.


 
Bora Bora
Travel 150 miles north-west of Tahiti and you will discover Bora Bora, an idyllic destination with endless white sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, secluded lagoons, and beautiful green mountains. The island is dominated by two large black peaks, and is renowned for ample water sport opportunities—snorkeling and scuba-diving amongst the favorites. This is the perfect place for hot romantic getaway. Love Bora Bora’s white shores but not up for the crowds and resorts? Then Forget Bora Bora: Have a Real Honeymoon in Tikehau, French Polynesia.
 
Rio de Janeiro
Attracts many visitors each year, hoping to experience a slice of Brazilian life. Carnival is the most popular time to visit, bringing in masses of tourists, ready to party the night away in the hot, humid streets. This is by far one of the sexiest places in the world to visit—even the hip-shaking music oozes sensuality.

Maldives
There’s nothing more intimate than staying on a private island, surrounded by calm blue water, soft white sand beaches and lush green foliage. The Maldives is one of the world’s most popular honeymoon destinations and it’s easy to see why. Spending time in such a tranquil and beautiful destination helps you forget your former busy life and focus your attention on one another.

Visit Dhoni Mighili or Rangali Island to experience luxury at its very best. With personal butlers on-hand and traditional style accommodation on stilts in the ocean, a stay at either one of these resorts is guaranteed to leave you with unforgettable memories.
 
 Punta Cana
Many would argue that Punta Cana features some of the best beaches in the world, with soft sand, calm blue waters, and gentle swaying palm trees. If you don’t want to spend your time just lazing on the beach, then there is a range of 
water sports available, such as snorkeling, jet-skiing, scuba diving, and sailing. 
During the day, enjoy the thrill of a jeep safari through the Dominican countryside and when the sun goes down sample the delicious local cuisine before dancing the night away under the stars.
   
 Oahu
This is the third largest island of Hawaii and has famously been used as the prime location for countless films and TV programmes, including Lost and Jurassic Park. This is due to the island’s dramatic landscapes: green mountains, pristine beaches, steamy jungles, urban cities, lush valleys, and breathtaking cliffs. The exotic location with its outstanding natural beauty will provide visitors with a unique holiday experience where anything is possible.

Langkawi
This group of ninety-nine unspoiled islands are located approximately 30 km from the mainland coast of north-western Malaysia. Shrouded in mystery and legend, these beautiful islands offer plenty to experience and explore.

The perfect romantic destination—visualize long white beaches set against a background of lush vegetation, unusual limestone rock formations, sparkling azure waters, secret caves, and breathtaking waterfalls. It really doesn’t get better than this.

Venice
This unique “city of water” simply has to be experienced first-hand to appreciate its true beauty. Take a romantic gondola tour of the narrow, winding canals, taking note of the impressive bridges and unusual architectural delights. There’s an abundance of attractive piazzas, palaces, and churches to go and see—this city thrives on beauty and artistic expression. Be sure to read up on the Ten Most Romantic Things to do in Venice, Italy.

Socialising before and after smartphones

This is no kidding matter; our socialising has been greatly affected by mobile phones and more so by smartphones. Can we do something about it? Shall we have some phone-off gatherings?

And Remember To Brush Your Teeth

LOLcats are here again, but today they came to teach the youngest of us, and to remind the others, to brush our teeth because we really need them. In addition to reminding they decided to do so in front of the camera, so that the youngest ones have some idea how it is done. You can repeat after them, now go and take your toothbrush and put a little paste on it. Watch closely, and start!

This room is 99.99% quiet but can you stand it? (pics and video)

The quietest room on Earth at Ofrield Laboratories in South Minneapolis is called the 'anechoic chamber' because no sound is echoed in this chamber.
It's 99.99 percent sound absorbent and if you stay there too long you may start hallucinating. Indeed, the longest that anyone has survived in it is just 45 minutes.
Steven Orfield, the company's founder and president, explained that the room is so silent that whoever goes becomes the sound of the area. "When it's quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You'll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly", he adds.

7 Strange Robots the Pentagon is Developing










With a budget in excess of $600 billion, the pentagon is hard at work researching technology that is sometimes bizarre and out of this world. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or DARPA is busy bringing in robotic creations to the pentagon that are craziest at the least. Here is a list of some of the strange robots the pentagon has in mind.



No 7. BigDog






BigDog is a dynamically stable quadruped robot created by Boston Dynamics with Foster-Miller, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Harvard University Concord Field Station. It was made in 2005 and can haul, climb, and carry its way over rough terrain. Capable of traversing difficult terrains, running at 4 miles per hour, carrying 340 pounds, and climbing a 35 degree incline, BigDog is intended to one day be able to serve as a robotic pack mule to accompany soldiers in terrain too rough for conventional vehicles.


This strange-looking robot is powered by a two-stroke, one-cylinder and 15-HP go-kart engine operating at over 9,000 RPM.





No 6. Nano Hummingbird Drone






Developed by AeroVironmen, the Nano hummingbird drone is built to look like a bird for potential use in spy missions. It is capable of flying at speeds of up to 11 miles per hour, hovering and flying sideways, backward and forward, as well as going clockwise and counterclockwise, by remote control for about eight minutes of sustained flight.


Evidently, the technology needs a lot of polishing before being put to some actual use.





No 5. LittleDog






A quadruped robot designed for research on learning locomotion, the LittleDog’s four legs are each powered by three electric motors and are strong enough for climbing and “dynamic locomotion gaits.”





No 4. RiSE Climbing Robot






RiSE is a robot capable of climbing vertical terrain such as walls, trees and fences. It has “feet with micro-claws” to climb on textured surfaces. It weighs at 4.4 punds and is able to travel at 0.68 miles per hour.


It has six legs, an on-board computer that manages the coordination of these legs and a variety of sensors.





No 3. PetMan






This is a bipedal device constructed for testing chemical protection suits. The technology is basically derived from BigDog with advanced features such as sweating; simulating both human movement mechanics and human physiology to a much realistic extent.


PetMan is capable of walking on a treadmill i.e. walking, doing squats and pumping out push-ups. It also has a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.


And as Boston Dynamics President Marc Raibert said:


“Places like the Fukushima reactors could be accessed by Petman-like robots (or AlphaDogs), without requiring any human exposure to hazardous materials. Perhaps firefighting inside of buildings or facilities designed for human access, like on board ships designed for human crews.”
