I am one that my allergies won’t kill me or cause me to go on medication to treat them, however, when I’m exposed to certain environments I can end up with a sinus infection for a week. |
|
My biggest issue is if I want to listen to a local band, smoky bars are a nightmare for me.

With all the amenities you’d expect from a 5-star hotel, designer Alex Naboko aims to bring luxury and elegance back to air travel with custom interiors. These aren’t concepts, either. |
|
Naboko’s designs are currently used in Russia on VIP and corporate jets and, while you might think you’re looking at the future from his work, luxury aircraft there have been sporting these digs for nearly four years. [DVICE]

This water cycle is based on a very unusual design in which you actually sit on it like you would on a conventional bicycle and then start pedalling the kayak-like craft. Pedal power will propel this craft to a top speed of just 7mph but speed is not the primary reason why this craft has been built. |
|
Instead, it is built for you to amble across the lake on a boring Sunday afternoon or even workout every day on it. To stop, you need to pedal, but this time backwards. To turn around or change direction, you just need to turn the handle-bars which is connected to the rudder beneath the craft, just like in a conventional bicycle . The Performance Water cycle goes for a tad under three grand, $2999.95 to be very precise. [Hammacher]

Albert Einstein once said “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Tell that to designer John Pszeniczny, he thinks time could use a turbo boost and has designed the fastest watch on Earth dubbed “F1/Carbon GMT”. |
|
Inspired by the F1 race car world and constructed of carbon fiber, Swarovski crystal, rubber and metal, this timepiece has 18 identical rubies and tells the time in everyone of the 18 cities on the 2008 F1 circuit. With a built in lap timer function and a stopwatch, time will seem to stand still as it races by at relative speed…which is 42.

Using a Windows-based PC and video projector that provide a life-sized view, the highlight of this simulator is two curtains of infrared beams that sit just in front of the screen. These emit 60,000 pulses per second, and as the golf ball passes through them the software on the PC is able to immediately calculate its trajectory, which is then translated to your virtual ball in the game. Just make sure that your den is big enough to accommodate this pricey golfing toy as it needs a room that is least 13 feet wide, 20 feet long, and 10.5 feet high.

At a volume of 29-cubic-feet and offering a 16% increase in useable space while retaining the same footprint, Samsung is billing its latest French Door Refrigerator as the world’s largest. |
|
Available from next month, the new French Door Refrigerator (model RFG297) gains its extra volume within the same overall size through the use of high-rate urethane insulation technology which reduces wall thickness from 2.04 inches to 1.38 inches and provides an extra 4 cubic feet of storage or 16%.
