This is the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health (LRCBH) that opened last year on July 13 in Las Vegas.
Among its founders are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Spacey and John Cusack. The Center is about 65,000 sq ft and its cost is $70 million.
I just love the design of the building!

China, the most populated country in the world, continues to absorb Western culture. The chains of American fast-food restaurants pop up like mushrooms after the rain, American supermarkets and bars are opened, more American music, products and brands are sold. And after the Olympics of 2008 that took place in China, more and more students have started actively learning English language. So, it is safe to say that China is undergoing Americanization.
Take a look at the pictures.

Charles Peterson is the author of these watercolor prints called The Memories.
He says that he draws them from what he remembers from his childhood, that these are "reflections" of his life.
I like his artworks, they are truly amazing.

Photographer Franco Banfi shows us the amazing beauty of the underwater world of the Swiss lake Sassolo, formed by the run-off of the Alps surrounding it.
The lake's ice formations are incredible.
Some cool pictures showing Mother Nature at her best await you inside the post.

If you want to see some personalized sneakers take a look at this post. There is everything from Michael Jackson to the Simpsons. I suppose you can get a pair of super sneakers with practically anything you want on them from celebrities to your favorite cartoon character.

The chubby little boy in this photo is obviously infatuated with two things; McDonalds and ponies. But I guess most little boys do get excited about those things. He, however, seems to take it to the extreme.

On May 31, a huge sinkhole formed in the centre of Guatemala City after the area was hit by the tropical storm Agatha.

Thanks to reader Ain for sharing this news with us and sending the links. These photos were taken ashore Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Rescuers dragged the moose out of the water after people called for help, as the beast seemed to be unable to do it by itself. Apparently, according to the local hunters, this place is kind of ‘hypnotic’ and makes the moose ‘sleepy’. Let’s call it the good deed of the day…

The Pi Beta Phi sorority rented the ballroom at an art center for a dinner dance. You’ll read in the complaint letter of the director of this same art centrer how the night happened;
Read the letter and you’ll know all the wild details of what happened during the formal dinner, it’s priceless

I love this set of old photos with all these great stunts. Maybe stunts today seem more spectacular but they don’t have that thing that makes them believable and in most cases computer graphics are used.
Here, there’s no green screen or security equipment. They only have two options: whether they succeed or they fail. Real daredevils from back then.
Richard Schindler, an aerial acrobat notorious for his foolhardy stunts, practices one of his tricks.

I like video games too, but I think it is not a brilliant idea to imprint on your skin your favourite video game hero. I must admit though, that some of these tattoos look really good.
But I also think that at one point of their lives, these people will regret them.

Well, it is easy. They do the markings themselves :)
Beijing, the capital of China, is a very busy city and it is almost impossible to find a spot to park. So people are bringing some king of handmade “carpets” that match the color of the road with parking markings and then they put a fake parking sign and voila.
The police say they can only arrest these people if they catch them red-handed, otherwise they don’t touch them.

A lot of truth in this post :)

I guess photoshoppers just like to work with classic pictures.
And they are right, with a little bit of imagination and good Photoshop skills, they put them into a whole new level for our pleasure.
Enjoy!

If you’re rich, you can have a pretty garden on the top of the building, very convenient.
As an apartment dweller myself, I like this idea very much, but to have a penthouse with such a rooftop, big bucks are needed. But hey, I am a dreamer ;)

Every day, about three hundred trains are bringing people from surrounding towns to work to Jakarta. But still, there’s a big lack for places.

These are maybe the greatest artworks I’ve ever seen.
Those who like such tuff too, will enjoy it the way I did.
Most of these works were made with Photoshop and are just brilliant and inspiring.

The Russian city of Norilsk is full of contrasts. It is home to one of the largest factories that produces metals and is full of very dangerous jobs and yet family life goes on as normal. Norilsk is located in Russian Siberia and is therefore not among the warmest places in the world, yet, as these photos show, the people there seem to get along just fine.

Cities all over Europe have a wild collection of animal street graffiti all over streets, buildings and practically anywhere a street artist can get to with his paint brush or spray can. Although they were obviously done by different artists, they all have one thing in common; They are all huge and they all look real.
