SUMO Couple Sway Offers Bean Bag Bliss

SUMO Couple Sway Offers Bean Bag Bliss

Amerika Serikat Eyeshield 21 hot news information New York Photo unique Wonders of the world world's best

(Our resident half-Wookie, half VP of Business Strategy found special comfort in the SUMO Sway)
Whether you're gaming, Facebook stalking or just yelling at Netflix to update its horror film selection, you like to be comfortable. Sure you could buy an $800 couch from IKEA and be old fashioned. Or maybe it's time to revist an updated retro piece of furniture: the bean bag. Lucky for us, the kind folks at SUMO Loung share this sentiment and sent us one of their high-end models "for review."

THE SHORT VERSION: If you don't feel like reading the most hard-hitting bean bag review ever written, here's the summary: this SUMO chair (the Sumo Sway model, in our case) is the red velvet cupcake of bean bags. It might not taste as good as the frosty treat, but once you dive in, it's pure bliss.

The chair comes in a fairly large box that you can carry up a flight of stairs without having a heart attack. It's bulky, but not terribly heavy and the box makes for a great fort once unpacked.After popping it out of its plastic casing, the office staff raced to get a taste of the bean bag's offerings. Seeing as this was the couple's chair, we tried putting two people on at the same time, which in an office got a bit awkward, but in the hypothetical real world of couples, should be fantastic, especially if you enjoy snuggling.

If you're hoping to both stretch out, this probably isn't the chair for you, but if you want to, say, induce coziness with someone, this bean bag is an elegant and casual solution. Aesthetically, they come in a variety of colors and fabrics and are equipped with a cute little pocket on the side to store whatever goodies you don't want guests finding.

BACK TO COMFORT: SUMO sent us the corduroy bag, but you can also get one made of microsuede. The corduroy stays relatively cool and doesn't stick to your back like those awful nylon bean bag chairs that look like footballs. Also nice is that it's built with an upright back to keep you from completely falling into the bean bag abyss.

According to SUMO, the new design helps support your spine and back. To test this claim, I swapped out my office chair for the Sway and went to work for two hours. Sitting alone (by choice, mind you) and not as a couple (again, I chose to be alone, okay?), the bean bag offered plenty of space to rest my laptop down on and work, and after two hours I didn't want to get up. Well played, SUMO.

SUMO makes a variety of bean bags that range in size, color and style. They also offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee if you're the type that suffers from buyer's remorse. And if you work for a massive media company that publishes bean bag reviews, they just might send you a "review model" that you can hope they won't want back.

10 Most Amazing Snakes

10 Most Amazing Snakes

information Natural beauty unique Wonders of the world world's best

Emerald Tree Boa

Most species of boas are colorful like the Corallus caninus, a non-venomous snake found in the rainforests of South America. Adults grow to about 6 feet or 1.8 m in length. They have highly developed front teeth that are likely proportionately larger than those of any other non-venomous snake.

California Red-sided Garter Snake

They are the most colorful snake population in North America considered more vibrant then the SFG. Their home Point Reyes pond is now gone drained to allow salt water to flow in killing all Point Reyes pond inhabitants. (Link)

Blind Snake

The genes of a newfound snake family suggest blind snakes lived on the island of Madagascar since, well, before it was an island.

The discovery is helping to decode how these rarely seen—and barely seeing, though not completely blind—snakes came to colonize much of the planet.

Growing to about a foot (30 centimeters) long, blind snakes act a lot like worms, burrowing under the surface of every continent except Antarctica. Unlike worms, though, blind snakes have backbones and tiny scales.

Albino Burmese Pythons

The snake pictured above is an albino Burmese python. Burmese pythons are readily available but grow up to be huge snakes. This is one of the snakes that need a healthy dose of caution, so think twice (or more) before getting one as a pet. Though Burmese pythons are generally quite docile, they are incredibly strong, and it just takes a single mistake in handling them (especially at feeding time when they are hungry) to have disastrous results. Sadly, increasing numbers of Burmese pythons are being dumped by owners who can't handle them anymore (in fact, they appear to have become quite established in the Florida Everglades, and are preying on native species).

Bright Pink Snake

The snake Liophidium pattoni grows to about 16 inches (40 centimeters) and preys on small rodents and lizards. ‘The bright pink markings on its back make it one of the most colorful snakes in all of Madagascar. It's very unusual,' Ratsifandrihamanana said. L. pattoni was first reported in 2010 in Masoala National Park in northeastern Madagascar. (Link)

Albino Nelsoni

The brightly colored Nelson's Milksnake is a kind of king snake that is found in Mexico. It grows to a 110 cm long or more. This non-venomous snake has 13 to 18 red rings. It was named in honor of Edward Nelson, former chief of US Biological Survey. Its natural habitats include semi-arid coastal thorn scrub and interior tropical deciduous forests. It feeds on birds, rodents, lizards and amphibians. (Link)

Blue Coral Snake

Coral snakes are highly venomous members of the Elapidae family that are found in all elevations of rainforest in Southeast Asia. Their venom glands have been reported to extend all the way through the body, even reaching near the tail end in some species. They are distributed widely through Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Borneo but are not often seen due to their nocturnal and semi-fossorial nature. They will burry themselves under leaf litter, or forest debris, venturing out to hunt for prey during the night. (Link | Via)

Elephant Trunk Snake

Commonly known as the Elephant Trunk Snake, though that name can be used for all members of this family, this species is the best known member of the wart snake family. It is found throughout southeastern Asia, particularly in Indonesia, northern Australia, and New Guinea. It is the largest member of its family. Like other wart snakes, it is totally aquatic, and feeds on fish. It hunts fish mostly at night. Its raised scales help it hold on to slippery fish. (Link)

Langaha Nasuta

The Langaha snake (also known as the leaf-nosed snake) is adapted to an arboreal lifestyle and feeds mostly on lizards. Its most interesting trait is, of course, the weird “horn” or projection on its snout. Easily is one of the weirdest reptiles in the World. (Link)

Horned Viper

A nocturnal viper which inhabits the dunes of the north west Negev desert of Israel. The snake was found early in the morning hiding in the sand next to a gerbil hole. (Link)

7 Architecture of Ancient Works Wonderful

7 Architecture of Ancient Works Wonderful

art information unique Wonders of the world World News world's best

Proud of what we achieved in the advancement of science and technology. Maybe we think that solar power, wind, and other advanced technologies that are invented by scientists in modern times. But we certainly do not think that the design of similar technology had already been invented by ancient civilizations.
 
1. Design Windmills
Windmills of ancient Persia is one of the oldest windmills ever built by man. The windmill was built by the Persian civilization about 3000 years ago. Windmill used to grind grain and pump water.

Plants alang - alang tied together, forming a cushion placed on the central axis. The windmill is made ​​with the heart - the heart, because almost every part made by hand.

Although the mechanism is simple, but the windmills have been known by all the other civilizations of the time, and some countries still use a mechanism like this up in this modern era. You could say, this ancient windmill is the forerunner of modern windmills that are used as wind power.

2. Persian wind tower
Still from the ancient Persian civilization, wind towers or wind tower is used by the Persians to the air ventilation system at home - their home. Their ventilation system is much more complicated than the existing ventilation systems in our homes.

Ventilation systems that they develop at least 2,000 years ago this might only be rivaled by a ventilation system with modern technology. The principle is to use a combination of air pressure differences, and adjustment of environmental climate in the region of Persia.

3. Roman gravity Waterways

The ancient Romans also developed a water channel that utilizes gravity to drain the water into all areas of Rome. Besides being used to drain water, sewage, gravity is also used in various community activities, including for water wheels, hydraulic crushers iron ore, and others - others.

4. Channel Underground

Because Jerusalem is located in the highlands and far from water sources, the city's water needs from underground streams. Society has developed an underground water channel which can still be used today, despite having tens of thousands of years old.

5. Geothermal Energy Utilization
Ancient Roman civilization has used geothermal energy to meet its energy needs. Geothermal energy comes from the volcano Vesuvius, which then heats the water in the surrounding region.

The heat generated was then used for various things, such as for hot spring, hydraulic, medical needs, and others. If electricity has been found at that time, perhaps this energy source can be utilized more widely.

6. Solar Energy Utilization
Utilization of solar energy has been discovered by the ancient Greek civilization. If we use solar cells as power plants, the ancient Greeks used it as a backup heat during winter.

The concept is so simple, they make the building facing toward the sun, and the entire building is designed like that to capture as much sunlight - much in the daytime because the sun is lower than their roof.

When in the evening, the entire Roman civilization a step further by adding glass to absorb solar heat to maximum. It turns out that the use of solar power has been around a long time yes.

7. The palace Cliff (Cliff Palace)
A place called Cliff Palace is located in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado. This unique building was built by North American society in the ancient times. This unique construction design has a purpose as the cooling of the hot sun at the time.

We can not underestimate just building - building the ancient times. Sometimes, with modern technology though, may not necessarily result in similar buildings with similar functions as well. Ancient architecture was remarkable, indicating that the attainment of knowledge at that time quite advanced.
