PickWine Is The Ideal Picnic Basket wallpaper

PickWine Is The Ideal Picnic Basket For those who love to go on picnics with their family and friends, I have the best picnic basket for you. I know that it really becomes a headache sometimes when one has to pack all the food and drinks for the picnic. But that wont take the fun out of your picnics as PickWine is the dream picnic basket that can carry wine, plates and glasses with ease and can also be placed on any kind of surface, be it plain or stony. Apart from carrying your utensils, this PickWine basket can also act as a table where you can put your glass and plates. It has handles on all sides, which means it can be held from any side. As I already mentioned, the basket is very table and one does not have to worry about the bottle or glasses moving inside, as a simple rubber stripe prevents them from shifting or even falling down. They are also very compactly spread across so that one utensil does not press against the other. I really think it would make things so much convenient for those who go for picnics. And as far as looks are considered, it passes in that as well.

1st person shooter game series Medal of Honor allows the player to be a Taliban soldier in multiplayer mode New Medal Of Honor is controversial

New Medal Of Honor is controversial The 1st person shooter game series Medal of Honor allows the player to be a Taliban soldier in multiplayer mode, and even before its release in October, has raised controversy. The U.S. network Fox News has presented the views of a mother whose son was killed in combat in Iraq on the new game from Electronic Arts. "Families buried their children will be seeing and playing it” said Karen Meredith on the new game Medal of Honor. In the game, which takes the acclaimed series of first-person shooter for the scenario of modern warfare, players will be divided between U.S. troops and Taliban fighters in multiplayer mode. According to EA, “players get into the boots of these warriors and apply their techniques in a unique new enemy in the most fiery and hostile battlefield of Afghanistan.” In an interview with Fox News, Karen says there is a difference between reviewing past conflicts, as in other titles in the series, which passed in the second world war, wars still going on where “people are dying”. In an official statement, Electronic Arts denies the charges saying “we do this since seven years – if someone is a policeman, another has to be the thief. In multiplayer Medal of Honor, someone has to be the Taliban.” Ethical issues related to games are nothing new, especially in games of first-person shooter.

Estudio Estres Launches Birdhouse Inspired by Bats

Estudio Estres Launches Birdhouse Inspired by Bats In times like these when there is hardly any place to grow trees, builders have come to realize how important it is to have a green space within the apartment block, or within a villa. If you have a tree near you, you must have observed that it is almost an eco-system within itself. You could see dozens of species of insects, birds, and creepy crawlies co-existing within a single tree. Of all these species, the one that we obviously associate a tree with is the notorious bat, which hangs upside down. Estudio Estres has created a bat-style birdhouse called the Mus to house all the birds that might have made the tree near you, their house. Installing the Mus on a tree near you would guarantee visual appeal, and also space for the birdies to cosy up during wet, cold or hot weather. If only people grew more number of trees, they would be tempted to attract fauna with the help of art, which would ultimately lead to micro eco-systems right next door. You could contact the company for further details and also for the price.
