The kamado is not just a grill; it’s a perfect representation of history, utilitarianism, and endurance. These grills can trace their origin to thousands of years ago and continue to win the hearts of people today. Kamados comfortably handle high and low heat, allowing you to sear, bake, sauté, and smoke easily. But it is their ability to retain heat that sets them apart from other grills. And, of course, the authentic flavor they bring to the table....

What Makes a Good Convertible As with any car, reliability is the first hallmark. A fun car that breaks down every few miles is a drain on time, energy, and finances. None of which are good. After being easy to maintain, we wanted comfortable to drive, since activating wind-in-your-hair mode means being happy going the distance. Finally, fun to drive, loaded with accessories, and sheer sexiness came into play as icing on this topless cake....

We suggest, if you want to really enjoy New York City, you should stick to the rooftops away from the grime, the smell, the traffic, and the people. You can do this either by grimly fighting the crime of Hell’s Kitchen, being an obnoxious parkour runner, or by patronizing one of the 16 fanciest rooftop dining establishments NYC has to offer. Baita/La Birreria Location: 200 5th Ave. Sitting astride the Eataly marketplace, there’s plenty of protein to be had in the form of fresh sausages and grilled meats of every cut, all washed down with some cask ales that are as strong as they are savory....

The Festo FlexShapeGripper uses a water-filled soft silicone “hand” to grasp a surprising variety of everyday objects. The flexibility of the silicone hand makes it form-fitting, as it wraps around the object it intends to grasp. The water inside maintains tension, and the arm it is attached to creates a little suction. This allows FlexShapeGripper to grab items like a coffee cup, a handful of marbles, a pen, just about anything a human hand would try to grasp....

Proving that the fixed gear trend is most certainly international, French firm Focale 44 has released press images of their new bikes. These fixed gear bikes feature the stripped-down amenities that fixie fans adore– basic colors (or lack thereof), simple handlebars and, of course, no brakes. The Focale 44 fixies come in two iterations, the first being a classic track brike layout with curved handle bars, the second being a street-minded commuter with a straight handle bar and a grenade green paint job....

The Geo Metria House is small in volume but large in spirit, featuring an open central floor plan with rooms separated by framed shelving. A dining room, living room, kitchen and study make up the common areas in its open center, while a master bedroom and a second room are tucked away to the sides. At its front, floor-to-ceiling windows provide a sweeping view of Kanagawa beyond, and allow in light to further the connection to the natural environment....

Hilary Rhoda poses in summer swim wear during a fashion shoot for Madame le Figaro styled by Nico. Each image shows Rhoda amidst the tropical salty breeze of beach location. Neutral color tones go along with the relaxed nature of the photo shoot which captures Rhoda wearing breezy cover-ups with wet hair. She isn’t afraid to get down and dirty while playing the sand either. Several portrait shots provide an opportunity to get a close-up view of the model’s striking blue eyes that ravish the camera....

To counteract our awful memories, we record as much as we possibly can; mostly in blogs about coworkers we hate, vague social media posts about how tired and sad we are, and erotic Little Mermaid fan fiction featuring Flounder. Though these records are good, the further back we go, the sketchier our records become. Whole people have been lost to history, completely unrecorded, but more than that, there’s entire civilizations that we barely know anything about....

The more unavailable or unattainable a potential mate seems, the more interested we become. We may not consciously realize it, but whether we want a new job or a hot date on Saturday night, making something out of reach is often what makes us desire it most. So how do you reel in that awesome new person that works down from your office or that awesome woman from your spinning class—or even just someone who lives across town who you might never run into otherwise?...

I can’t tell you how many times I thought: “Man, if I could fit in just a couple more shirts, I’d be ready for that one-week trip.” Or how many hours I wasted trying to remember where I put my gadgets, because I swear they’re buried somewhere in my bag. Well, I’m happy to report that I no longer experience the above. And it’s all because I figured out how to use packing cubes....

Or maybe you’re the door slamming INFJ who would like to better understand why you do what you do with people who’ve exhausted your compassion. After all, cutting people off completely is not your go-to. It’s a last resort. It’s not something you enjoy doing to anyone, but when you reach that point, it becomes easy to walk away from the one who’s crossed the line. You can do it without hesitation – and without feeling anything but relief....

The new Nikon D4 continues the battle that has replaced the megapixel arms race– high quality, low light sensitivity. The D4 provides an ISO range between 100 and an astounding 204,000 extended, producing negligable noise at up to 12,800 ISO. Nikon also emphasized autofocus and metering in the new D4, using 15 cross-type sensors to lock a focus at speeds up to f/8. For metering, the D4 provides greater accuracy for auto white balance, autofocus and external flash control....

The Nikon D7100 is the long-expected replacement for the D7000 digital camera that led its professional hobbyist range of cameras since the D300 line from a few years back. Like its predecessor, it features a similar housing design to the revolutionary Nikon D600, but does so with lower cost components thanks to a smaller, less expensive sensor. To put it plainly, this camera features most of the guts of its $2,100 pro system in a package for the aspiring pro that costs roughly $900 less....

The home and its innovative design are the result of a lengthy five-year collaboration with design company Jensen Architects. Specifically, designer Nicole Hollis was commissioned to help establish a spacious, modern aesthetic that maximizes the gorgeous view of Mt. Tam and the San Francisco bay from the home’s hillside point in Marin. The intent of both the designers and the family was to harvest a sense of family comfort and history while still establishing an open, modern environment that lets sunshine, fresh air, and great weather become a part of the home life experience....

The new Piaggio Aero P180 Avanti II is as sexy as it is functional. The three-wing design presents a wild appearance, thanks to two nose-mounted canard wings, a pair of wide-and-thin central wings and the raised T-tail wings in the back. These wings give the Avanti II a significant advantage in lift, one that provides for plenty of savings in the fuel department. The interior is classy and refined, providing its passengers with a first-class experience throughout their flight....

Dunya Yachts is nearing completion of their latest luxury superyacht, the “Red Square”. This massive, 236-foot cruiser stands tall above the water line, providing enough room for 12 overnight guests and their crew. From bow to stern, the Red Square yacht is lined with contemporary furnishings, red teak floors, three open decks and a series of inner cabin rooms for rest and entertainment alike. While Dunya Yachts has not yet revealed the price for this ship, we expect that an eight figure sum might be sufficient....
