The Summer House by Judith Benzer Architektur is built in the vast openness of the fields of Southern Burgenland, Austria. The tall structure resembles a country barn as its simple shape reaches towards the sky giving it an ethereal aesthetic. While the exterior is composed out of planks of larch wood, the simple outline of the house creates a sharp silhouette against the Austrian sky. Elongated panel windows can be opened to allow sun to enter the home during the summer while creating shade over the outdoor deck and may be closed off during the harsh winter months....

Take dry aging in the fridge – due to the high humidity and fluctuating temperature, bacteria can quickly grow on one’s meat, leading to a gamut of dangerous illnesses and ultimately ruining the meat. As such, it’s historically been best to leave dry-aging to the professionals....

Casual Khaki: a Night Out on the Town A nice, gray pair of khaki pants has a lot of wardrobe versatility. Their color neutrality fits well with blacks, whites and other grays, but works just as well with the colored clothing staples you keep in your closet. We opted for a grayscale theme for this casual outfit, with the exception of the soft blues and greens in the button-down shirt. If you’re planning a night out with friends, a date with your better half or a casual dinner party, an outfit like this fits like a glove....

Drinking under that wide Texas sky is a thing of beauty that will force the most genteel, urbane tippler to pick up a steel guitar and wax poetic. That’s why we’ve rustled up the 18 finest rooftop bars in Dallas, the crown jewel in the land of 10 gallon hats. Happiest Hour Location: 2616 Olive St Stuck between downtown, the Arts District, and uptown, the location alone is reason enough to give this spot a try....

Fans of vintage Vespas should take note, because this 1956 Manurhin Scooter will cool the pants off of your little Italian Stallion. While we most certainly prefer mopeds to scooters, we are in awe of the beauty of this classic wide-body scooter. The 1956 Manurhin Scooter was manufactured in France and sold throughout Europe under different models and monikers. Some were designed as one-seaters, others included two, but all of them guaranteed a smooth, stylish ride for open air commuters in some of Europe’s greatest cities....

There’s no such thing as an all-around “best” 3D printer, at least as the market stands right now. Like so many things, the right 3D printer for you is the one that does what you require. If that’s laying out plastic and silicone, so be it. If that’s working with melted metal, cheese, or cosmetics, then look for the ones that do it. Here, our interest was solely in which off-the-rack 3D printer had the best features, the easiest interface, and produced the highest-quality output, given its intended parameters....

The Minister’s Treehouse built by Minister Horace Burgess reaches into the treetops over 100 feet tall in Crossville, Tennessee. After over 11 years of construction without blueprints, this unique church resembles an epic tree house pinned up by cross boards and nails. Random wood boards add quirky flair to the architecture, adding random patterns to the disarray of the design. Multiple levels of corridors and rooms make up the inside of the tree house....

For more than two-and-a-half centuries, waxed canvas has been the ideal crossroads of utility and style. Beginning with the Royal Navy, who waxed canvas sails to continue their excursions in whatever weather happened to befall them, down to fishermen who required it when capturing their deadliest catches, it’s a tradition, an art, and a stylish way to keep rain off your back. Best Waxed Canvas Jacket – Our Top 14 Picks Getting clothing that can shrug off rain is easy, but you’re going to end up looking like Paddington Bear, or some lost mountaineer who is way overdressed, particularly for the spring showers that crop up, or the autumn winds which nip, but do not bite....

The trick to fashion is the same as sports. You have to know the rules so that you can learn which ones you can bend, which ones you can break, and which ones you need before you go into that job interview, high-powered client meeting, or out with that fine filly (or fella) you wish to impress.

Hot Wheels admiration of the BMW Isetta is also shared by microcar enthusiasts, perhaps most famously by collector Bruce Weiner. Weiner was so taken with the “Whatta Drag” hot wheels car that he commissioned a real-life version to be built from an actual 1959 BMW Isetta. Next thing you know, this 50 year-old single seater was mated with a 730-horsepower Chevy V8 engine and the “Whatta Drag” took shape– yielding one of the most unlikely vehicles ever built....

Cheese has been around for more than 7,000 years, and since its first creation, thousands of different types of cheese varieties have been made to complement a range of meals and add texture and flavor to a selection of dishes. Indeed, countries worldwide have created their own variations of cheese, whether that be fresh types of cheeses like the Italian mozzarella or washed-rind (stinky) types of cheeses like French Époisses....
