Welcome - S-s-so C-C-c-c-cold!

In this weeks post we bring you information on what Ten Cocktail Bar has in store for you in our festive sack for Christmas Eve, how you can dance your sprouts off with our Boxing Day Band, following the snow we look at fridges with attitude, have an article on some of the oddest presents someone may leave under your tree, and some embarressing moments for the US government.


FITC COMPETITION:
Every week our photographer treads the floor looking for ideal representations of the weekend parties at Ten Cocktail Bar.  We choose a male and female winner who each recieve a £10 bar tab.  To claim their prize all they need to do is contact us through our Facebook group here, and we send them a printable voucher to present at the bar when collecting their tab.  If you want to show us what you and your party are all about then come to Ten and make yourself known to our photographer Lukas.


WHAT DID YOU DO LAST WEEKEND?:
A brand NEW element to our FITC has been launched, 'WDuDLW' is our video version of the popular photographic competition.  Capturing different aspects of Ten every week, our weekends at Ten are now immortalised in glorious HD courtesy of Dirty Street's Lukas.  Last week we filmed Dj Subnero and his storming Saturday night and this weekend we have Mr. DJ Diggers and his Friday night frollicks.

UNITED STATES OF EMBARESSMENT:

These photographs of Kissinger [taken by Adriana Lorete], seen pondering affairs at a trade conference in Brazil, originally appeared on the front page of Jornal do Brasil, a major Rio de Janeiro daily, on November 13, 1992. A few years later, Kissinger's lawyer sent Jornal do Brasil a letter saying the former secretary of state would file a lawsuit for damages if the newspaper did not immediately cease and desist from selling the photos.

Its snowing outside and the wind is chilier than pingu's chilly bits, and to 'celebrate' this here is a look at some of the most stylish ways of keeping your goods cool.

It's hard to get the perfect refrigerator for students. Although living in the same dorm, everyone wants a single space and the number of the students in every dorm is not the same. This brilliant design from the Electrolux Design Lab competition 2008 gives us a great solution. Designer: Stefan Buchberger.

 

Tree House Refrigerator 

 This refrigerator design concept is more weird than it is beautiful. Its midsection is like the trunk of a tree, and it has five container/cabinets arrayed around it that resemble tree branches. Push a foot switch and the motorized main section opens.

 

Norcool Fridge in a Drawer 

  This Norcool fridge does away with the traditional idea of the singular, monolithic fridge, instead it tucks your cold food away in drawers. And it's not a concept. Norcool's production Drawer Fridge system is not only real, but it could be extremely efficient too.

 

Bio Robot Refrigerator 

 Designed by Yuriy Dmitriev, the Bio Robot fridge works on the principle of biopolymer that helps to keep all the food items cool through luminescence. The non-sticky gel surrounds the food and the strong surface tension of the gel helps to build separate pod for them. The fridge offers plenty of space to hold your eatables without mixing the odor. Amazing concept, it's the futuristic refrigerator.

 

Transparent Refrigerator

  This is nice. The transparent refrigerator is one of the many new home electronics displayed at the National Electronics' Invention Station in Tokyo, it's a campaign hosted by three pretty Japanese anchorwomen. This transparent refrigerator will show your food to everyone, so make sure that you keep it clean and nicely arranged at all times.

 

Beer Dispenser Refrigerator 

 

The inventor of the HomePub, a fridge freezer with built-in draught beer system, is, it goes without saying, a genius. Designed with special people in mind, the kind who like to pour beer on their cornflakes or drink their coffee with beer and two sugars, there's designated space for two five-liter kegs.

 

Anti-flatulence Underwear

Buck Weimer (Pueblo, Colorado) invented "Under-Ease", airtight underwear with a replaceable charcoal filter that removes bad-smelling gases before they escape. As the slogan says: "Wear them for the ones you love". More

Dog-to-human language translation device

Keita Sato, President of Takara Co., Dr. Matsumi Suzuki, President of Japan Acoustic Lab, and Dr. Norio Kogure, Executive Director, Kogure Veterinary Hospital, invented Bow-Lingual, a computer-based automatic dog-to-human language translation device. The Bow-Lingual's a two-piece set—a wireless microphone that attaches to your dog's collar, and a walkie-talkie-looking handset with an LCD screen. Barks and yelps are transmitted to the handset, where their voiceprint is analyzed and placed into one of six emotional categories: happy, sad, on guard, frustrated, needy, or assertive. Once the appropriate emotional state is determined, the Bow-Lingual randomly selects a phrase belonging to that category and displays it on the screen. So if your pooch is determined to be on guard, maybe you'll get "Are you my friend or my enemy?" If aggressive, perhaps the sentiment will be "I'm dominant." You get the drift. More

Alarm Clock that runs away from you

Gauri Nanda (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) invented "Clocky", an alarm clock that runs away and hides if you don't get out of bed on time. When the alarm sounds you can snooze one time. If you still don't wake up, Clocky will jump off of the bedside table, and wheel away, mindlessly bumping into objects until he finds a spot to rest. You'll have to get up and out of bed to silence his alarm. Clocky will find new spots everyday, kind of like a hide-and-seek game. More

Artificial replacement testicles for dogs

Gregg A. Miller (Oak Grove, Missouri), invented "Neuticles", testicular implants for pets. Many caring pet owners hesitate or even to refuse to neuter their pets, soNeuticles eliminates 'neuter-hesitant' concerns - as a 'Neuticled' pet looks exactly the same after surgery. Neuticles are available for canines, felines, equine, bulls or any pet which is neutered. Neuticles should be implanted when the pet is neutered- but can be implanted years afterwards in most cases. More

Self-perfuming Business Suit

Hyuk-ho Kwon of Kolon Company of Seoul, Korea, invented this suit. The suit is made with fabric soaked in a chemical that contains scented micro-capsules, which pop and release the odour when the wearer moves -- or gets bumped on a crowded subway train. More

Washing machine for cats and dogs

The co-inventors of the Lavakan, Eduardo Segura and Andrés Diaz, decided in 1998 that their dogs deserved the same treatment that humans get from a shower massage. The side-loading automatic pet washing machine, is safer and less stressful for the animals than washing them by hand. It soaps, rinses and dries dogs and cats in less than half an hour. It has a series of conical nozzles that wash and massage beasts from every direction, while dirty and soapy waste is filtered through a hose at the bottom. Operators use the Lavakan's touch panel to choose the best wash cycle for the animal's size and dermatological needs. Pesticide soaps, for example, require an extended wait period to kill fleas and ticks. More

Software that detects cats walking across the keyboard

Chris Niswander (Tucson, Arizona) invented PawSense. When cats walk or climb on your keyboard, they can enter random commands and data, damage your files, and even crash your computer. This can happen whether you are near the computer or have suddenly been called away from it. PawSense is a software utility that helps protect your computer from cats. It quickly detects and blocks cat typing, and also helps train your cat to stay off the computer keyboard. More
