A home with a 360° view: Rotating P.E.I. house lets you see the ocean from every room — in turn
When Steve and Stephanie Arnold finish building their house on Prince Edward Island, every window will have a stunning view of the Gulf of St. Lawrence — at the click of a button.
Their two-storey circular house, being built in North Rustico on a rotating platform, will be able to swivel and place an ocean view outside whatever room they choose.
It will be the first rotating house in Canada when it is finished next spring, Mr. Arnold says.
Cool
Inspiring stuff
Amazing
gotta provide my awesome male followers with some motivation, too!
Love this.

Emotional intelligence chart. The most intense emotions are in the middle, and they fan out to less intense.
Damn. They have nailed the range of emotions of my working day. Mind you, the early Friday deadline for the paper means I spend a lot of that day in the red and orange zone, with just a touch of purple.

Excellent chart of US budget spending. I wish I had thought of using that way to display it.
Nice chart. Shows that the productivity gains just are not flowing through to wage and salary earners. That may be for good or bad reasons
tonned-tanned-fit: Might be a push in the right direction for me, I reckon.
REBLOG AND SEND ME YOUR EMAIL IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE APART OF TUMBLR’S BIGGEST LOSER WEIGHT LOSS COMPETITION. TEAMS WILL BE ASSIGNED THE 30TH OF MAY!
If 500 + people reblog I will make more teams! This will be a group will be all about supporting each other through our weight loss journeys starting JUNE 1ST and ending SEPTEMBER 1ST. It’s all about being body positive, making friends, eating healthy, and exercising. No short cuts or bullshit just hard work and dedication.
RULES:
- You must eat at the very least 1,000 calories a day. Pro-ana and Pro-mia will not be accepted into the group. However, if you are currently recovering or are recovered from an ED you may join.
- No one may encourage (or advise) someone to try harmful diets or do anything harmful to themselves to loose weight.
I am also looking for MODs for each group. If you want to take on that role please send me an application with: your name, age, and email + why you want to be a mod. You must be a positive person, be very encouraging to the people in your group, and give support to members in your group who are struggling.
South Korea I expected to be at the top of this list but Britain is a surprise.
Daily chart: internet economies. Britain’s internet economy is now bigger than its construction and education sectors. But Europe as a whole punches below its weight, mainly because its internet economy is held back by a lack of a single digital market.
Everything you ever wanted to know about the late, lamented penny
Last week, when the federal budget was released, the government announced it would be discontinuing the penny. The National Post‘s Graphics department takes a look at what actually went into our smallest denomination coin.Another great infographic. I was thinking more colour would be good, but it’s about pennies so what else can it be really except brown.
In 2001, the CBO projected a cumulative surplus of $6 trillion. This graph shows how that surplus turned into $6 Trillion deficit.

As a business chart geek, I especially like this. Relatively simple graphic but chock-full of info and comparisons.
