Home to some of the most beautiful and progressive architecture in the entire world, Dubai will soon see the construction of a hotel with submerged, underwater rooms that offer unparalleled views of the Persian Gulf. Conceived by designers Deep Ocean Technology and dubbed the Water Discus Hotel, the building will be the first of several in the emirate and will feature an underwater section of 21 rooms, a dive center and bar up to 10 meters below the sea’s surface. A unique lighting system will illuminate the scene outside the submerged rooms’ windows while macro photography will also allows guests to zoom in on the surroundings for a better view. With the above-water portions of the hotel suspended high enough to avoid tsunamis and flooding, the underwater disc is engineered to surface in the event of a storm or other danger.

The south is know for having the best fried chicken and if you’re really in the know then you already know the best fried chicken is served at Willie Mae’s Scotch House in New Orleans. Don’t be scared of the 6th ward location, the staff and patrons couldn’t be more friendly.
For 10 bucks you get the the 3 pieces of the world-famous fried chicken and a side. For $3 more you can specify all white meat as I do. The fish-and-chips like batter and juicy white meat chicken is what keeps me coming back every time I’m in the big easy. For sides I recommend the rice, green beans and gravy, or the potato salad.
The PO-BOY is a stable in the New Orleans diet and many locals will tell you that Domilise’s is a must-go destination to enjoy one. It’s a true mom and pop shop and the smiles on the ladies faces as they make your sandwich is priceless.
The shrimp Po-Boy is the originator and if your wallet and stomach is up for it get the large oyster and shrimp Po-Boy for $17. I know it’s a bit of an oxymoron but it’s well worth it. You only live once and you’ll live a more satisfied life paying for the little extra things that make all the world of a difference.

A new political satire starring comic super cast Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, The Campaign is bound for theaters this year. Indulging in his known penchant for George W. Bush impersonation, Ferrell plays a Southern politician running for office opposite Galifianakis in a congressional comedy making fun of American politics. A strong supporting cast include Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd and Sarah Baker. This hilarious Warner Bros spoof preempts the real presidential elections with its August 10 release.

A lot goes into a Leica camera — that’s part of what makes them so highly sought-after by aspiring and professional photographers alike. The newly announced limited edition M9-P collaboration with Hermes is no exception. This camera features an exquisitely finished calfskin leather body and a particularly rigorous attention to detail. Check out this video that carefully reveals just what comprises the trappings of this artful $50,000 camera and its accompanying Hermes shoulder bag. We want one.

Another exciting post from Clayton Woodley, AKA Le Panda. I swear, we want your job!! Check out his pics as he introduces us to some local spots in the fantastic city of New Orleans.
It's a well-known fact the Big Easy is a mecca for great food and strong drinks. In addition to my large appetite, my camera came along to a few of my favorite food spots.
Up first is Surreys Cafe and Juice Bar's located in the Lower Garden district. Let me preface by stating I'm a 2 meals a day type of guy. I like my portions big and hearty. Surreys is a great breakfast/lunch spot and made for my perfect first meal.
A carrot/apple juice, a delicious oxymoronic compliment to my meal.
"The Montana Plate" Two eggs (Any Style... yay poached!), biscuit and sausage gravy, ham, bacon, and sausage, with hashbrowns or grits and in my case roasted potatoes. At $12 this massive plate fueled me through an entire day of driving and plantation exploration.
Oak Valley Plantation.
Meal 2 "Port of Call"
The phrase "Voted best place to get burger" had my ears up and my jaw down when reading about this New Orleans landmark.
Giant burgers and ginormous drinks. Port of Call is home of the Neptune's Monsoon, a rum based tropical drink that is around 40 ounces.
I saw couples in their 60s order 2-3 rounds before I even got half way through my only one (It's that kind of local place). No reservations so expect an hour and a half wait for a table or opt for opening seating at the bar like I did.
A baked potato is served in lieu of french fries as none are made in this pirate-esque dwelling.
If you've managed to consume your burger, potato, and Monsoon take a walk around the French Quarter to escape falling into a buzzed food coma. Stay tuned for part 2.

Originally shared via the Instagram feed of SABER, artist Sever looks to have been hard at work on a mural that pays a tongue-in-cheek tribute to other street art giants including Shepard Fairey, Futura, KAWS, Barry McGee and Os Gemeos. The mural shows the crew toting a casket branded with the insignia, “STREET ART.” Each persona is seemingly dressed in business attire suits as they cart the oversized casket.
