It is called 3 Rms, Lk Vu by Michigan-based design firm Jruiter. It is a boat concept that takes your living home to water! Yet, it is not a houseboat one finds in tourist destinations across the world which make up for floating hotels. It is more personalized in nature. You can use it over a day for a picnic on a quite river. You could call it part apartment, or an outdoor living space for its features offer just that.

The pontoon boat houses a kitchen with dining space, a living room with seating, and a basking deck for sun-bathing or just chilling. You can relax and enjoy floating on the water with your family or friends, or move over to the floating kitchen for some quick cooking. All these come with a space heater that is tucked behind a retro style vent.

Its wide open spaces give more freedom to users, as they can mould and use the boat according to their own whims.

The boat has a teak deck to give some open space for sunbathing and swimming. It also allows a view of the sunset and stars in the evening.

Many of these emotions may not be pleasant but they help the child to purge such emotions which should not be bottled up. In order to encourage your kid to play with dolls more often, you could buy this cute Casa Cabana which has been designed by Kidsonroof. The cardboard shown here is a part of the many dollhouses that they have created using recycled materials.

The house comes with prints of cats, rabbits, squirrels and trees. The child gets to experience the goodness of being one with the nature and also learn the importance of using recycled materials. This eco-friendly dollhouse is the best gift you could give a child if you want him or her to explore different emotions and also learn to nurture the dolls in a beautiful house like this.

If you were to ask me what I would NOT do during Thanksgiving, I would say, I would not eat one of these beautiful birds. The Good Shephard Heritage Turkey has been announced and apparently the birds are fed with vegetarian feed. Thus, you would be eating vegetarian birds and I must really admire the thoughtfulness of the Turkey farmers who think it is OK to eat birds that are fed with vegetarian feed.

That does not make the turkey consumers vegetarian in any way! These birds are grown according to the American Poultry Association’s Standards of Perfection and have even received Animal Welfare Institute’s Animal Welfare Approved certification. I would say, spend $120 to $200 and save these beautiful birds from ending up on somebody’s plate.

Though it is one’s personal choice to consume what he or she wants, I cannot imagine these lovely birds being skinned and cooked, and then eaten while “thanking” for ones blessings. That would cross the limits of hypocrisy! If you have any conscience and really want to thank someone, show it by saving the lives of these playful and affectionate turkeys.

They say water is the most essential liquid in the world, and they are still underestimating the importance of water. Water could be more precious than even diamonds and precious metals when there is scarcity. This life giver is certainly not getting a good deal with all the pollution, abuse of water resources and of course with all the careless usage of water.

Thus, one needs to know its value and how luxurious a drop of water can be when there is a dearth of it. Here is the world’s most expensive water which would be sold in limited quantities for Christmas 2009. The Bling H2O Christmas Collection is being touted as the world’s most expensive bottle of water and comes in two versions, Swarovski Crystal and opaque green, red or red and white decorated.

The water is pumped out from 800 metres below Smokey Mountains in Tennessee, USA. The water can be purchased from gourmet shops El Corte English and other places. Get the world’s most expensive bottle of water and show the world how luxurious water can actually be some time down the line.

We might all be interested in luxury products but there is nothing more luxurious than wearing speedos that are comfortable, warm and fitting and that which also looks good. Of course, you should have a body to carry the speedos in style and if you are not blessed with one, do not even try! Novembers are particularly cold and dreary and that is when one needs to heat up the ambience by getting oneself a hot body and wear these amazing speedos.

Ivo Cavalcanti is a 20year old Brazilian model who recently posed for Terra’s The Boy. Photographer Marcio del Nero has certainly done an amazing job in inspiring people to go ahead and workout, and pose in speedos. In fact, there is nothing better than a having a well sculpted body and showing it all off, the body and the package in a hot speedo.

If you do not agree, you would have to do some soul searching and look within yourself for inspiration. As Tori Amos said once in her song Winter, boys get discovered once winter snow melts and if you would like to be discovered after this winter, you need to workout, get a good body and buy these awesome speedos!

As a new month begins, we may expect to see new products being unveiled. Most importantly, November is the month when the temperature begins to plummet and the frost begins to appear on the windows. This is perhaps why we would see a number of BBQ parties happening all along the neighbourhood.

The air not only smells of fresh snow and frozen leaves, but also of sizzlers, steaks and roasted meat. With that in mind, here is a BBQ pit which comes inside a Ford truck. It apparently costs $15,000 but there is no information about specs. It kinda looks good, and if you are trying to make a statement as an old hillbilly who stays in a truck, you could get this for yourself at 15k.

While I see nothing special about this Ford Truck with BBQ pit, I would still recommend this as it has a strange appeal to it. Perhaps it is the idea of cooking inside a truck, and that too in a Ford truck which makes the idea seem so appealing. So go ahead and get yourself this cool BBQ machine, if you have pockets deep enough. Meanwhile, I shall be content with my normal BBQ grills.

If you are the kind of person who would travel a lot and would need to be alerted every time you are somewhere important, you might have to readjust your time again and again, and also readjust the alarm based on the local time.

Now that is one hell of a job isn’t it? You might as well purchase this cool watch unveiled by Zenith. It comes with 41 jewels and is called eloquently, El Primero. It comes with world timers and you could adjust the time to the city you are in and it looks like the globe as well. At one end of the clock is the American Cities and at the other end are the Asian cities.

It comes with an alarm complication, chronograph, bog date, power reserve indicator and also the much needed world timer alarm clock. This is so confusing yet so beautiful and thus brings back that great philosopher’s quote “incomprehensible remains incomprehensible” to our minds. You could contact the company and get the watch for yourself, and it also looks really good. In my opinion, it is one of the most stylish watches ever.

If you are an AC/DC fan, you might be loving the song Stiff upper Lip. Also, you might be feeling the safest when you are in New York City, if you know what I mean. In order to celebrate the goodness of AC/DC albums and their vast music collection, here is a cool AC/DC Backtracks Deluxe Edition which comes in an actual working amp.

The edition includes 47 studio and live rarities, which are remastered. The set consists of 3 CDs, 1 LP and 2 DVDs. Along with these; you would also get the Live at the Circus Krone, a 164-page AC/DC coffee table book. The Deluxe Edition costs $240 and is quite expensive for a reco0rd, but what the hell! You get a working amp along with collection just in the form of its package!

I would say, this is a great way to celebrate the fanhood of AC/DC. I always wonder why there aren’t cooler deluxe editions such as the one here for other artists as well. It would be so cool to be able to use the pack. It is a little expensive but true fans would always go the extra mile ahead to do something for the band. In this case, purchase the deluxe edition!
