Valentine's Day

2011-02-14T01:10:00.000-08:00

Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. In North America, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
History
Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial -- which probably occurred around 270 A.D -- others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.

To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at the sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would then sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification.

10 Ways to Make This St.Valentine’s Day Unforgettable

2011-02-11T13:27:00.000-08:00

Well, it’s getting around to that time of year again. Red seems to be more and more visible with every passing day. Roses have started dominating florist displays and everything from balloons to candy is shaped like a heart! It’s not difficult to tell that Valentine’s Day is coming! Here are 10 ways to make this one, well, unforgettable.

Cook up some romance! Give the crowded hotels and romantic hotspots a miss this year and get cozy in the kitchen. Pick an easy recipe and something your significant other will like to cook…and eat. Open up a light wine, put on your aprons and dish up the romance!
If music is the food of love, then write her (or him), a song! Even a rudimentary ability with a musical instrument will suffice. Set all the mush to music. You can be sure it will be treasured and will always be a favorite.
Do something you’ve never done before, singly or together. From something simple like going for a movie or play or tasting a new food or drink, to something really big like a hot air balloon or helicopter ride, gift yourselves a new experience.
Dedicate this year to giving, rather than getting. Visit people who have lost a spouse recently to death or separation. Plan what you can do to make their first Valentine’s Day without their loved one, a little easier.
If circumstances permit and especially if you have been toying with the idea, adopt a baby! Share the wealth of love in your home with a little one for whom the chances of being adored and spoilt, are not that great.
Let out the lurking Leonardo. Get the required materials and work together on a painting. You may need a few trials
before the finished product emerges, but it will give you a project to work on together for the next week or so. However, take care that it does not get derailed by arguments on what to paint and other arty details. When completed, give it pride of place.
Travel down memory lane. This may take some planning and budgeting. But if you can, take him or her to places that hold good memories of your childhood - like the house or street you were born in and spent early childhood, your nursery school etc. Even if it means taking a short trip, it will do wonders for the connection between you.
Buy him or her, the most expensive gift you can afford. Something they’ve wanted a long time but would never buy because of the cost. After all the grumbling about spending too much money, they will be thrilled to bits!
Start over again. Spend the entire day acting like a guy and girl who’ve met for the first time. Take off your wedding bands and head off in different directions. ‘See’ each other in a library, a restaurant, etc and pull off a successful come on. Take it from there and do all the silly and obvious things that young people who’ve just met and are interested in each other do.
Do nothing. Indulge in a day of complete laziness. Do not cook, go out or even talk much…lingering looks and smiles say a lot. Just order in, snooze, wander hand in hand through the house, read comics in bed, listen to music (but no TV) and eat and sleep some more!

I’ll bet you can’t wait for February 14th now. Well, neither can I. So start planning and much love and laughter to you and yours!

Valentine’s Day is a sweet time for couples, but is often associated with the more negative elements of luxury and consumerism. Between cut flowers and irresponsibly-mined diamonds, the excessive consumption of the holiday can lean towards damaging — rather than preserving the earth. We want you to enjoy Valentine’s Day in an eco-responsible manner this year, which is why we have put together a list of romantic green goodies that are sure to heat up your Valentine’s Day without compromising the environment.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

2011-02-11T08:05:00.000-08:00

Ingredients

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 pound strawberries with stems (about 20), washed and dried very well

Directions

Put the semisweet and white chocolates into 2 separate heatproof medium bowls. Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)

Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.

Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and if our Top Geekiest Gadget Gift List didn’t help you out, here is one more geekily appropriate Valentine’s Day Gift. Want to win her over? You could get her a screenless iPod Shuffle or you could get her a Heart Shaped Cupid MP3 Player Necklace. This DAP sports a red finish, a 1GB capacity and she can wear it around her on a lanyard. For $24.95 it might be tacky but it’s also sweet. Admittedly we could do without the cupid on one side, that is a little bit overkill, but she can always wear the blank site face-foward.

41 meters high Water Slide

2010-03-23T07:53:00.000-07:00

This is the Insano on Beach Part at Fortaleza, Brazil!!

You are about to live through one of the most extreme experiences of your life.

The Insano is the highest water slide in the world at 41 meters high, a record listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Its height is equivalent to that of a 14-storey building.

At the end of the track, the Insano provides you with a relaxing dive into the swimming pool.

Warnings
- People with special needs, pregnant women and children under 1.40 m tall cannot go on this slide.
- Overweight people or those with spinal problems or osteoporosis must be warned about this activity.
- There is only one position for going down this equipment.

The Helium bike case’s unique design allows it to be opened 360° making packing your bike’s frame (it’s compatible with road bikes up to 64cm size or a full-suspension freeride mountain bike), 2 sets of wheels and other accessories like a helmet, shoes, and pump particularly painless.

Thanks to its minimal dimensions, it fits easily in the trunk of even the smallest cars (width of 100 cm). Every small detail has been looked into: the Helium bike case has special compartments for an extra wheelset and also for stowing you helmet, shoes and other essentials (pump, spare tubes, etc.)

Put A Smile On Your Toast

Does your toast smile at you in the morning or is it a grumpy old man? Quirky as it may sound, I think small nuances (or gimmicks) like this can really make a difference in your day. Bring out your shiny smile for the Smile Cooking Toaster! Think hair straightening iron for a moment, similar to that clasp design is this appliance. Difference lies in the electric-heating nano-membrane and different smiley faces you can use to singe on the bread. The transparent style really adds to the elegance and the timer display (with heating controls) makes sure you don’t ever burn your toasts! Smile your morning blues away.

Lego Crawler Town by Dave DeGobbi, Cool!
"Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes
Details about the MOC - I really enjoyed building this one! Its started out as going to be a steam-punk land dreadnought/battleship but evolved into a roaming city where self sustainability and Eco efficiency became the theme. I ended up calling it "Eco-punk" due to its Steamy inspired roots. Several playable features include functional powered treads for movement , full suspension and front and rear steering. Working crane, hanger slides for planes and lift from upper and lowers levels. "

Pegasus Guoqin Ferrari Piano

2009-09-29T18:48:00.000-07:00

With those beautifully sculpted curves, this piano is no longer just a musical instrument, but an alluring piece of art. Spotted at a piano shop in Beijing, it’s a limited edition Ferrari-styled piano. Featuring a digital sound system and the microcomputer control system, this special edition piano enjoys the Ferrari red color scheme and smooth, lustrous lines. Meant for sale, the Pegasus Guoqin piano is priced at over 2.86 million Yuan (over US $410,000). With its curvy form, it seems like the Pegasus Guoqin piano could in no way stand still.

Michelle was rocking a silver satin dress on the ‘Gossip Girl‘ set . She even took time out of her busy filming schedule to pose for pictures with some fans.

Michelle recently talked about how much she loves playing Georgina in the hit series,

“[Georgina’s] phenomenal! I mean to be able to have that sort of crazy behavior, that sort of over-the-top maliciousness, that revenge-seeking everything, but to have someone patting you on the back at the end of the day and say good job and to not have to deal with any repercussions is phenomenal.”

It must be fun, as an actress/actor, to get to play other people and explore different personalities. Though at the end of the day, they probably look forward to winding down and letting it all go.

OnLive is a new gaming service that could quite possibly shake up the whole gaming industry if it works like they say it does. The service uses a "microconsole" that streams video of the game you want to play to your television and because of the low-latency video technology they've created, the game plays in real time as if you were playing on a console or PC. If you're wondering about the game choices, they've signed up with some of the biggest players in the industry: EA, Epic, Ubisoft, Atari, and many more. The service will also be compatible with your PC or Mac through a browser plug-in that's less than a megabyte to download.

Sony Ericsson has announced a outdoor Bluetooth wireless speaker MS500. The Sony Ericsson MS500 Bluetooth speaker($TBA) with a durable splash proof shell for outdoor using and a handy strap that you can attach it to a bag, or hang from the wrist. Thanks to Bluetooth tech, you can use your phone as a remote to change tracks and increase volume. It features 2 watts power and uses two AA batteries for running up to 5 hours.
The designer of the MS500 Wireless Outdoor Speaker, Leonardo Salzedo comments: "If I had to describe the MS500 speaker in three words, I would use the following; fun, compact and freedom. The word freedom has various meanings, as it refers to the speaker��s lightweight, small, splash proof shell, which enables you to take it with you everywhere and anywhere. No cables allow freedom of movement and a handy strap enables you to hang it from the wrist or attach it to clothing, so you have the ability to stylishly accessorise your life with music."Link

Fancy glass faucet doubles as flower vase

2009-03-24T15:12:00.001-07:00

Look at this lovely, clever idea. Why not just make a vase into a faucet? Or would that be making a faucet into a vase? Either way, Hego Waterdesign's Flower Glass faucet furnishes a steady supply of water for the flower, and the flower provides beauty and fragrance for you as you wash your hands in the flowing flume.

Turn on the Lucite controls, and water flows up from the bottom of the cylinder, overflowing into the chute and into your hands. Brilliant. We especially like the orchids used in this photo, but any fresh-cut flowers will do. Just don't get lazy on us and put fake flowers in there!

7 foot long Lego Star Wars cruiser is epic in its awesomeness

There's no shortage of pathetically geeky gadgets you can get to show your love for Star Wars, but every now and then we come across something so awesome that it's hard to dismiss.

This seven foot long model of the Home One Calamari Cruiser from Return of The Jedi was built by Thomas Benedikt using 30,500 (mostly gray!) Lego pieces, and took about 11 months to complete at a cost of $5500.

Thomas is clearly about as dedicated as Star Wars fans get, check out his MOC page to see more of his amazing models.

ipod shuffle 3g gets candy coated colors

2009-03-24T14:35:00.001-07:00

Thinking about picking up a new iPod Shuffle 3G, but think the basic brushed aluminum and black case designs a little drab for your flashy style? Miss the wide color selection of earlier 3G Shuffles? Well now you can brighten up your 3G with a fresh coat of color - for a price.
Apparently our pals over at Computer Choppers have made it their mission in life to color anodize and metallic plate anything and everything that can be anodized or plated. And the aluminum-shelled iPod Shuffle 3G fits that bill just perfectly. As was the case with their colorful anodized Mac Mini, these colors are much more durable than paint, and electrochemically bound to the metal so they won’t flake over time.
Now you’re looking at a price of $129 (USD) for a colorful Shuffle like the ones shown above (a $50 premium over Apple’s standard 4GB model), and prices go all the way up to $199 if you want to do something crazy like get yours plated in platinum. If you’re looking for a splash of color, you can order yours over at the Computer Choppers site.

If you trace it from its origins, you will be amazed to see how this communication device has transformed from a basic wireless telephone to a fashion gizmo that packs it in all. If it’s not the camera, projector or touchscreen prowess, then it’s the blinged look that this device boasts of. Here’s a look at the Poison that brings a transparent LCD screen to the device. Looking more like a perfume bottle than a phone, it’s toxic!via

Swarovski Crystal and 24k Gold Plated Bike Is The World's Most Expensive

2009-02-27T12:20:00.000-08:00

The aurumania gold bike crystal edition(EUR 80,000; about $102,418) is hand built, plated with 24 carat gold and hand-adorned with more than 600 Swarovski crystals. Wow, the 24 carat gold and crystals, $100,000!! The limited to ten, the crystal and gold bike was created by a company named Aurumania, whose self-proclaimed purpose is to conceive of and design items with the extravagant use of gold, thereby turning familiar objects into collectible art. Their collection thus far consists of fifty 24 karat gold plated bikes, a gold plated bike rack and the special Swarovski crystal adorned 24 karat plated version. As one would expect for these prices, their products are hand delivered anywhere in the world. The handlebar grips are made of hand-sewn, chocolate-brown leather and a moulded Brooks leather saddle provides the right nostalgic touch. You don't like the crystals or EUR 80,000 is expensive to you! They've made 50 of the gold plated bikes(EUR 21,000) without the Swarovski Crystal adornments. They have the leather Brooks saddle and hand sewn leather handles too.

2009-02-27T12:15:00.001-08:00

I love this Audi flying car concept! Called Audi Shark, it was designed by Kazim Doku and won the Desire Competition by Domus Academy. The two-seater flying sportscar is inspired by the motorclycles and airplanes and offers its passengers "strong sensations and high levels of safety." The streamlined design of the exterior offers a visual reference to the car's name and - in combination with the rear lower spoiler - gives the vehicle an "underwater" appearance. Both the headlights and the tail lights are made by transparent tubes which integrate LED units. The interior features sporty seats integrated in the cockpit structure.

The Breezy, Beautiful Brazilian Leaf House

2009-01-13T13:02:00.000-08:00

Outside of Rio de Janeiro, on a beautiful little beach with amazing blue water, sits a little house with a flowering roof that shades and protects like a big tropical banana leaf. Designed by Mareines + Patalano, the open air abode is meant to encourage interaction and connection between man and nature. With verandas and open spaces in between rooms and no corridors, the tropical beach house is an ideal place for social gatherings and parties. The open layout also takes advantage of trade winds that blow in from the sea, providing natural ventilation and passive cooling.
The architects describe their design as low-tech eco-efficient, due to the use of natural ventilation for cooling. Homes in the tropics rarely need much more than a breeze in order to keep the environment comfortable. As for other sustainable design techniques, the roof harvests rainwater for use in the house, and the interior is naturally finished with wood, stone and natural fabrics. We suspect the wood was harvested locally, and can only hope it was done so in a sustainable fashion.
Above all the Leaf House is amazing inspiration for organic design that brings the outdoors in. It protects the inhabitants from rain and sun, while bringing in fresh breezes to cool the interior. The design was originally inspired by Brazil’s Indian Architecture, which used local materials to provide shade, protection and encourage natural breezes for cooling.

Yoga Audio System

2009-01-13T12:39:00.000-08:00

The Yoga Audio System you see above aims to bring together a whole bunch of musical functionalities into a single device. Not only does it contain an iPod dock like any decent modern audio system should, it also features a cell phone dock (no idea on which handset(s) it will be compatible with), a CD player for those who are still hanging on to their aging musical collection and an amplifier to bring the (small) room down. The Yoga was inspired by raindrops falling to the ground, featuring a seamless design that seemingly blooms from the central core to the sides. It features Bluetooth connectivity, but we don't think this will make it as a party device since it is way to small to pump out the necessary volume levels required to certify it as such.

Disposable pre-paid wrist phone

2009-01-13T12:23:00.001-08:00

In these troubled times, you don’t want a super expensive phone with all the bells and whistles… Okay, you do, but for a moment let’s just pretend. The Disposable Pre-Paid Phone concept is one of the most basic handsets you could hope to find. The idea is that it would be affordable enough for anyone to purchase for use in an emergency situation.

Which makes sense. You would want a portable phone you can wear it around your wrist, for Dick Tracy

type emergencies. How billing would work is anybody’s guess. But it looks great in Wii-white. No alphanumeric keypad here, which is lame. Sometimes in an emergency, sending text messages is a good idea.

Oh well. Chances are you would never need it anyway, since you keep your cell phone on you so often.

$2.41m iPhone 3G Kings is World's most expensive Phone

2009-01-13T12:07:00.001-08:00

For me luxury items are those that are not only ridiculously expensive but are also very impractical or unnecessary. Personally I think the iPhone is still quite expensive. I think it spreads itself too thin in trying to be too many things at once. On the other hand, its price isn’t that ridiculous for a phone, so it would be silly to call it a luxury item. But now phone blinger Peter Aloisson is producing bejeweled iPhones that will make you think that Louis Vuitton dog carriers are practical. The price of one pimped out iPhone? € 1.79 million, which is roughly $2.41 million USD.

Called the “iPhone 3G King’s Button”, each of these mind-blowing creations is adorned with 18-carat yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. I didn’t even know there was a rose gold. Then it gets insane: lining the phone’s frame are 138 “brilliant cut” diamonds. Then it goes up to 11: The King’s Button’s Home button is topped with a 6.6 carat diamond.

The price by the way doesn’t take into account the 20% VAT.

Folks, diamonds are just compressed carbon. What the hell. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if all the farmers in the world decided to jack up the price of their products to diamond-like prices. But that’s just me.

Solar Power Sunglasses Can Charge Your Gadgets

2009-01-13T11:50:00.001-08:00

With the snow coming down fast this time of year, we can’t help but dream of laying on the beach listening to our iPod and relaxing. But how to keep it charged? If we had this handy pair of designer sunglasses, we could keep our iPod or other iDevice fully charged while basking in the sun or walking around town. Designed by Hyun-Joong Kim and Kwang-Seok Jeong, these slick “Self-Energy Converting Sunglasses” feature dye solar cells that are integrated into their lenses. Although perhaps not as fun as using a yo-yo to charge your devices, this solar solution is probably a heck of a lot more practical and stylish to boot.

Jeong and Kim’s power-generating glasses are composed of a “cheap organic dye [that uses] nano technology [to provide] cheap but high energy efficiency.” The sunglass lenses can collect and convert enough energy from the sun to power small devices connected by a power jack at the back of the frame.

We expect to see solar panels integrated into more and more devices in the coming years. We’ve already seen photovoltaics used in bags, backpacks, lawnmowers, and cars, so these sunglasses are no surprise. As solar technology becomes more advanced and lightweight, sunglasses like these may even become the norm. It’s also a good thing that huge sunglasses are in style now, because that means there is more surface area for energy collection.

Stained Glass Wreath Cookies

Ingredients

1 (16-ounce) tube sugar cookie dough
1 bag assorted round hard candies (recommended: Lifesavers)
1 small tube white decorating icing
1 package silver dragees
24 (8-inch) long pieces string or ribbon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with silicone baking pads.

Slice dough log at 1/4-inch intervals and place onto prepared baking sheets spaced 1 inch apart.

Press a 1-inch round cutter into the center of each cookie round. Remove the small circle of dough and replace it with a round hard candy.

Bake in oven 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove from oven. While still warm, make a hole at the top of each cookie with a large straw. Place baking sheet on the cooling rack and cool completely.

When the cookies have completely cooled, use the decorative icing and evenly space 6 icing dots around the edges of each cookie. Lightly push the silver dragees into the icing dots. Allow icing to harden.

Place the 8-inch piece of ribbon through the hole at the top and tie the ends together.

Repeat with remaining cookies.

You can eat your cookies or hang them as ornaments on a Christmas tree or in a window.
