Beautiful Life is an online magazine dedicated to all aspects of design, featuring interesting and unique information about creative design, beautiful art and luxury lifestyle. There are a number of excellent design samples, such as a digital mechanic clock that displays time in a very unusual way. With every single minute, a few of the small bars in the numbers move or spread over the black surface to disappear in the frame, while the rest regroup to show the current time. Another one is an interesting "smart" house featuring full automation and ability of independent existence. It has roof covered with solar panels, it can collect fresh water from rains, it has toilets that are connected to the compost container in the basement, where all the organic waste will be converted into clean, dry compost that needs to be removed only twice a year. All functions of the house are monitored by an array of sensors, and regulated by a house brain that can be controlled trough any l

It is hard to deny the fact that there is a fine line between design and beauty. An object that has a clever design is undoubtedly an object of beauty, at least in all things natural. Take a shell for example. It has a beautiful structure with all the high and low areas of curvature; or take a flower that has spellbinding vigour! If you are one of those who thinks comparison of design with natural things is futile, then think again. Aren’t human beings natural? Don’t we derive our every inspiration from nature? People at Yanko Design have been working hard, designing better and beautiful things. Browsing through products on their store, I found it difficult to determine which one was an actual product and which one was conceptual. It is recommended to browse through their RANDOM DESIGN section on the homepage.

There's a calm surrender to the rush of day When the heat of the rolling world can be turned away An enchanted moment, and it sees me through It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you And can you feel the love tonight It is where we are It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight How it's laid to rest It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best There's a time for everyone if they only learn That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours Technorati Tags: oscar winning song , disney songs , great animated movie songs , the lion king ost , elton john , tim rice , best of elton john , hit singles , best original song , elton john grammy

Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles! This collection is splendid but not meant for some raggle-taggle ruminants . Lily-livered landlubbers need not see it unless they are megacycle pyromaniacs. To think of it, Captain Haddock is definitely not a miserable molecule of mildew , neither does he like miserable blundering barbecued blister but on second thoughts, ten thousand thundering typhoons is a different story - one that might change your mind into looking this list. Diplodocus , cushion-footed quadrupeds and iconoclasts are most welcome; and bring some sea-gherkins or saucy tramps while you're at it .

Extraordinary it does sound, but did you know that in Illinois, you may be arrested for speaking English ? Instead, make sure that you speak American the next time you visit Chicago! Sound interesting? Welcome to the list of bizarre laws in the US of A. Alaska – Whispering in someone’s ear while he’s moose hunting is prohibited. California – You may not eat an orange in your bathtub. Florida – If you tie an elephant to a parking meter, you must pay the same parking fee as you would for a vehicle. Hawaii – All residents may be fined for not owning a boat. Illinois – It is illegal to speak English. The officially recognized language is “American.” Kentucky – Every citizen is required to take a shower once a year. Massachusetts – No gorilla is allowed in the backseat of any car. Michigan – A woman may not cut her own hair without her husband’s permission. Nevada – It’s illegal for men with moustaches to kiss women. New York – While riding in an elevator, you must talk to no on

Girls are cool too, in their own peculiar way, but someone (probably a guy) has gone over a lot of trouble to create this great list. I just wished I knew who wrote the original list. If you are the one then tell me and I’ll link back to you: A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. At least a few belches are expected and tolerated. Car mechanics tell you the truth. Christmas shopping can be accomplished for 25 relatives, on December 24th, in 45 minutes. Dry cleaners and hair cutters don't rob you blind. Everything on your face stays its original colour. Gray hair and wrinkles only add character. If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you just might become lifelong friends. If someone forgets to invite you to something, he or she can still be your friend. Phone Conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. Same work...more pay. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. Wedding dress - $2,000. T

The following poem is said to be a plagiarised version of an original piece written by Gene Ziegler in 1994 with the original title A Grandchild's Guide to Using Grandpa's Computer . According to a furious Gene who found that some guy stole his creation, he explained in his website (now down): Unfortunately, the internet being what it is, some scoundrel whose editing skills exceeded his or her ethical standards edited the poem, reduced it by half, removed my name, and re-circulated it under the title If Dr. Seuss were a Technical Writer , attributed to the ever prolific Anonymous . If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, then

Jack Byrnes is wondering what sort of parents would name their son Gaylord Focker, and before giving his daughter's hands to the son, he wants to meet such parents. So Jack takes out his ultra-sophisticated personal RV for a trip to visit the Fockers in Miami.  Greg cancels the already-made airlines reservation. Pam carries her little nephew L.J. and Dina packs her bags. Hence the journey begins. When they arrive in Miami it's a nightmare for jack, and it doesn't take him days to decide what he should do... to try to discontinue his daughter's relationship with Greg. He tries everything under the Sun to make Greg appear unfit for Pam, but only if he knew his daughter Pam was pregnant! By setting a whirlwind of events and confusions, Meet the Fockers does well to give a full-stop to what had begun in Meet the Parents .

Back in the late eighties and early nineties I remembered as a kid, the taste of vegetables and meat and even rice. They tasted so wonderful! As years went by, the taste was forgotten. Every year I tried newer dishes from different cultures in different restaurants in different countries, thus eliminating my childhood taste buds entirely. At least that was what I had thought, that is, until last week. As I was sifting through stuffs in the messy store-room downstairs I got hold of a cooking utensil, the pressure cooker! I wanted to try it but it needed a hard proper cleaning before making it usable; but the temptation was too strong, and after three hours of cleaning, the cooker was fit to cook. The first thing I tried was rice. It tasted wonderful and needless to say, revived my childhood taste-buds. In the coming days, it was curry chicken, followed by vegetables of all sorts – radish, broccoli, cabbage, legumes, asparagus – you name it. My gastronomic system was beyond doubt, sat

Today, Google is the most powerful search engine on the planet. Billions of people google for all kinds of information they need, for activities ranging from doing homework to finding a restaurant nearby. Albeit a powerful one, Google is not a specific-purpose but just a general-purpose search engine among a plethora of others. As you are already aware of other types of search engines, take a look at a few of them listed below: Alexa – more of a website monitor and less of a search engine; can be used to search sites. Alibaba – the largest directory of suppliers around the world. AltaVista – one of the oldest search engines. Answers – find people-centric questions and answers in a variety of topics. AnyWho – a telephone directory. AOL Search – now employs Google’s search technology. Araby – an Arabic language search engine popular in the Arab world.

Pam (a.k.a. Pamela Byrnes) and Greg (a.k.a. Gaylord Focker) like each other. Greg is on the verge of proposing to Pam, and has even made a diamond ring. Now Pam has a dad whose approval she needs before marriage. So she brings Greg along to her house for the week. Things start to get in motion right from the airport. Greg's bag is mishandled and probably lost by the airlines company, which is why he arrives at her parents' house empty-handed. He doesn't have his tooth-brush, he doesn't have his clothes, and by the end of the week, he doesn't have the important thing for which he has come to her house – her father's approval. In a series of mishaps and mumbo-jumbos, even the wedding of Pam's sister is seemingly ruined by Greg; and hence the anger of the entire Byrneses, especially that of the big Mr. Jack Byrnes, a walking, talking, stalky lie-detector and a former CIA agent. A miserable Gaylord Focker thus walks out. What happens next is your guess, unles

Is there a chance of Back to the Future 4 hitting the screens? Are they going to continue the trilogy into a quad-ro-logy or a pent-o-logy or a hex-o-logy of some sort? Since the last of the trilogy came in 1990, many fans around the world have been waiting for the next episode. It’s been eleven years, and the question is, will the fourth part ever be made? Oh! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see Doc Brown again – with one of his charming inventions, and wouldn’t you love to see Marty again in all his innocence and passion for adventure? Being a fan of the trilogy don’t you sometimes wonder why the initiatives are not being taken? Don’t you speculate now and then whenever you flip through your DVD collection, about the minute-est jokes and sequences the trilogy has to offer?

As Buford said it, “ Boys, we got ourselves a

These questions are really worth considering: If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the Earth? If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? Isn't Disney World a people trap operated by a mouse? Why are they called buildings, when they're already finished? Shouldn't they be called builts? If "con" is the opposite of "pro," then what is the opposite of progress? War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural? There is a difference between wanting a job and wanting work. Why is a person that handles your money called a 'Broker'? Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for centuries' have a 'use by' date? You might also want to explore some funny notes , a poem and clever definitions as well.

(with a human female) To all the gentlemen for a good laugh, and to ladies with a good sense of humour, via : Are you one of those who often wonders that women say one thing and mean something else entirely different, at least in some situations? If yes, then this primary vocabulary set is a good start to learn the art of conversation. Next time, make sure that you properly understand what she is actually saying, if she utters one of the following words during conversations: Fine – This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. Five Minutes – If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five Minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. Nothing – This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine. Go Ahead – This is a dare, not permission.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99, if I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh never mind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You’re not as fat as you imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Sing. Don’t

In the afternoon, my friend and I had a conversation over the phone to meet at seven at a restaurant nearby. Since I arrived early, I decided to take a table. It’s evening now. I’m sitting in a cafe at Koteshwar . The girl across the table is seated with a confused-looking fellow, who might be in question, a worker at a local furniture-maker. They speak with a low voice, look at each other and leave. I take a few sips of the liquid the restaurant calls coffee. I think whether my stomach will get upset over this issue. I take a quick glance around, only to see the dissatisfied faces of some waiters. Are they underpaid? I try not to think over their financial inadequacy. Suddenly my friend enters view. He is a vet, and a most polite fellow. He talks with reason, and gives his personal point of view in most cases. Just as he gets seated, he mumbles a comment about a waiter’s face, “Is he underpaid?” How much I’d like to know! Our conversation turns towards cost-estimation for running

Fujifilm, the maker of cameras and camera accessories has made available one of the first 3D cameras for sale. According to its website , the 3D camera can efficiently replicate colours with with 10 megapixel sensor. Traditional cameras have been able to shoot and display frames in two dimensions, but this one can capture a third dimension: depth. the trick is to add a second lens. While the first lens does the routine 2D work, the second lens does a magical job of capturing the inherent depth. Two separate processors, built inside, then mix the two into a composite image that can be viewed normally on a 3D LCD monitor, thereby providing a richer experience. Or if you don’t want to invest on a 3D monitor, the camera has one built-in – so there is not an actual need for that. But it’s a good idea to get one, because more digital content will eventually require 3D viewing in coming years. And did I say that the camera has a 2D shooting/viewing mode as well?

Murphy's Law ("If anything can go wrong, it will") was born at Edwards Air Force Base in 1949 at North Base. It was named after Capt. Edward A. Murphy, an engineer working on Air Force Project MX981, designed to see how much sudden deceleration a person can stand in a crash. One day, after finding that a transducer was wired wrong, he cursed the technician responsible and said, "If there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it." The contractor's project manager kept a list of "laws" which he called Murphy's Law. Over the years, many people have made their own additions, and the compilation is pretty impressive. Take a look . MURPHY'S LAW – If anything can go wrong, it will. O'TOOLE'S COMMENTARY – Murphy was an optimist. MURPHY'S FIRST COROLLARY – Nothing is as easy as it looks. MURPHY'S SECOND COROLLARY – Everything takes longer than you think. MURPHY'S THIRD COROLLARY – If there is a possibility of several thi

Hitch is a story that happens between every boy and girl walking down the love lane. Well, not EVERY boy and girl – at least leaving the exceptions, of course! Hitch portrays the love saga of countless Alex Hitchenses and Sara Melases searching answers about the love of their lives. If you are not one of them, then pass this movie on. Will Smith plays the mysterious Hitch, the love guru, aka, the date doctor, that every guy craves for finding – because Hitch is a magician of girls! He is popular as a person who can guide them in getting the girl they want. At the centre of the story, Eva Mendes plays Sara, the workaholic gossip columnist for The Daily Standard. Hitch creates, tutors and follows the rule that every girl can be swept off her feet in any given day; whereas Sara is the stubborn beauty who just doesn’t believe in love. Hitch is the chemistry between these extremes – a chemistry that searches for a balanced reaction, indeed! Love stories need not be your forte, Hitch is ju

A quick fact now and then is a fun thing to know. Needless to say, interesting facts can be shared at parties, at chit-chats, and during gather-ups! Just think how cool it would sound if you knew that: Because of the angle that the oesophagus enters the stomach, horses are physically unable to vomit. Picky linguists will tell you that the feminine version of “dude” is “dudine,” not “dudette.” The first documented bank notes came from China. The bills were one-foot-square pieces of white deerskin with colourful borders, and were used as early as 118 BC. Wilbur and Orville weren’t the only Wright Brothers. They had two older brothers, Reuchlin and Lorin, plus a younger sister, Katharine. In 1759, Arthur Guinness leased St James’s Gate brewery (where they brew Guinness) for 9,000 years for 45 pounds a year. Aluminium used to be so hard to produce that it was valued higher than gold. Napoleon III even had all of his fine cutlery made of aluminium. These, and a lot of other facts we

URL shortening is massively popular in recent years, and needless to say, you encounter at least a few shortened URL’s daily. Is the phenomenon just a passing phase, like a child tearing off the crust of bread, or is there something more to it? In recent years, microblogging sites such as Twitter and Tumblr have emerged as strong links in the chain of social networking. Albeit popular, they pose a grand question – one of usability! For instance, what purpose can Twitter serve, with a look that forever stares blandly on your face with a text-box asking you that eternally profound question – what are you doing? Please, can you answer it in exactly 140 character? When Twitter started out, it was meant to be a fun mobile application but today it has become a necessity for social network marketing. Not quite what the founders had in mind! And thus with online marketing, Twitter now has proved itself worthwhile, which is why, marketers use it so much. With a limited space of 140 character
