This mind teasing structure that you are viewing in pictures below was designed and developed by organic architect Javier Senosiain.
Javier Senosiain is a Mexican architect who has a peculiar taste to create numerous marvels in different patterns. This particular shell house aptly named “Nautilus House” was given shape in 2006 at a place called Naucalpan in Mexico. Being an exceptional one directly from the imagination of its architect, it naturally had to undergo enough changes testing the patience of its builder. The concept “Organic” can be well experienced from the way one feels being amidst the nature. The way the structure and the interiors have been designed is nothing but teasing the ever hungry urban population confined to concrete jungles. Do you want to be the one, dreaming different?

Blindness fears of the sunbed addict who shunned goggles
By Alison Smith SquireLast updated at 12:13 AM on 19th October 2009
In ten years on the sunbed, Sam Laing never bothered with goggles because she did not want to leave white marks.
That decision could cost the 23-year-old her eyesight.
Because of prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light, she has developed growths in both eyes which will have to be removed through surgery to stop her going blind. She has been warned that the operation itself could damage her eyesight.
Fears: Sam Laing used sunbeds for ten years because she thought 'it was vital to look brown'
'I was shocked because although I knew using sunbeds raised the risk of contracting skin cancer, I never knew it could cause something like this.'
Miss Laing, a self-confessed 'tanorexic', said she hates being pale and started using sunbeds in her early teens.
'By the time I was 19 it was so important to me to always look brown, I was going on them up to three times a week.
'Unfortunately I never wore goggles to protect my eyes because I didn't want to be left with white marks on my face.'
When she noticed redness and itching, both she and her GP thought it was just tired bloodshot eyes.
'But about three months ago the redness began spreading into the brown iris of my eye,' she said. 'Friends and family began asking me what the problem was, so I went to my local eye infirmary.'
The diagnosis was pterygium, a benign eye growth caused by ultraviolet light usually seen in men living near the Equator.
Protection: Goggles can protect your eyes from the UV light
'The most worrying thing is that even if the growths are successfully removed, they could return and I've been told I will have to wear dark glasses on sunny days in future.'
Miss Laing has finally given up using sunbeds.
'I just hope that what's happened to me serves as a warning to other sunbed users that they can be really dangerous,' she added.
As well as pterygium, UV exposure can also cause macular degeneration in older people, cataract and corneal sunburn, as well as skin cancer.
London eye surgeon Mr David O'Brart said: 'People might not realise that as well as being dangerous for your skin, too much UV light - whether from natural sunshine or a tanning bed - can be equally damaging to your eyes.
'Because the UV light emitted by sunbeds is more concentrated than natural sunshine, the more you use them, the more at risk you are of triggering such an eye problem. Anyone using sunbeds must wear eye protection.'
A spokesman for the Sunbed Association, which represents a fifth of the industry, said its members issue sunbed users with eye protection and advise them to wear it.
She said getting 'panda eyes' was no longer likely given the type of goggles provided, including disposable 'cups' designed to fit snugly over the lids.
'Operators have a responsibility to ensure people do not use sunbeds without eye protection. In addition, health-and-safety guidance displayed in our salons insists it must be worn.'
New medical marijuana policy issued...awesome
AP Newsbreak: New medical marijuana policy issued
AP Newsbreak: New medical marijuana policy issued by Obama administration
- On 11:59 pm EDT, Sunday October 18, 2009
Two Justice Department officials described the new policy to The Associated Press, saying prosecutors will be told it is not a good use of their time to arrest people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state laws.
The new policy is a significant departure from the Bush administration, which insisted it would continue to enforce federal anti-pot laws regardless of state codes.
Fourteen states allow some use of marijuana for medical purposes: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
California is unique among those for the widespread presence of dispensaries -- businesses that sell marijuana and even advertise their services. Colorado also has several dispensaries, and Rhode Island and New Mexico are in the process of licensing providers, according to the Marijuana Policy Project, a group that promotes the decriminalization of marijuana use.
Attorney General Eric Holder said in March that he wanted federal law enforcement officials to pursue those who violate both federal and state law, but it has not been clear how that goal would be put into practice.
A three-page memo spelling out the policy is expected to be sent Monday to federal prosecutors in the 14 states, and also to top officials at the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The memo, the officials said, emphasizes that prosecutors have wide discretion in choosing which cases to pursue, and says it is not a good use of federal manpower to prosecute those who are without a doubt in compliance with state law.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the legal guidance before it is issued.
"This is a major step forward," said Bruce Mirken, communications director for the Marijuana Policy Project. "This change in policy moves the federal government dramatically toward respecting scientific and practical reality."
At the same time, the officials said, the government will still prosecute those who use medical marijuana as a cover for other illegal activity. The memo particularly warns that some suspects may hide old-fashioned drug dealing or other crimes behind a medical marijuana business.
In particular, the memo urges prosecutors to pursue marijuana cases which involve violence, the illegal use of firearms, selling pot to minors, money laundering or other crimes.
And while the policy memo describes a change in priorities away from prosecuting medical marijuana cases, it does not rule out the possibility that the federal government could still prosecute someone whose activities are allowed under state law.
The memo, officials said, is designed to give a sense of prosecutorial priorities to U.S. Attorneys in the states that allow medical marijuana. It notes that pot sales in the United States are the largest source of money for violent Mexican drug cartels, but adds that federal law enforcement agencies have limited resources.
Medical marijuana advocates have been anxious to see exactly how the administration would implement candidate Barack Obama's repeated promises to change the policy in situations in which state laws allow the use of medical marijuana.
Shortly after Obama took office, DEA agents raided four dispensaries in Los Angeles, prompting confusion about the government's plans.

Craziest nails you have ever seen...
So I went to a Korean nail salon yesterday with a friend of mine in K-Town. Seriously....crazy nail designs. I have never seen anything like it! Its like original artwork on nails. So I did some digging online, so I can share these crazy nails with you!
OMG...so cool and so out there...kind of like me...
haha
LiLo is a freakin train wreck...
Can we blame her anymore? I don't know....its kind of like the saying "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me...." Or something to that nature. Anyways, here is the story:
"
The failed creative director recently went to accessories label Arielle de Pinto in Paris and snagged up a few thing for a "photo shoot and a party".
This kind of thing is normal when it comes to one-of-a-kind pieces, so the store took Lindsanity's credit card imprint, which guarantees the wacktress would return the borrowed items.
Well, as of this week the items haven't been returned and are no longer in Paris. What's even more shady is that the credit card Lindsay left on file with the store has been canceled."
OK....WTF....They seriously should have known better by now than to loan that nutcase anything. She currently has no credibility or job. Why, they should loan that swag to me. I am so good for it! Damn crazy celebrities. Its all nonsensical. Blah! Anyways, LiLo is so to-up now, that why would anyone want to advertise their fashion on her corps. Ewww...
