Bus that Straddles Traffic coming to US
Transportation
Insane Traffic-Straddling Bus May Come to America
by Ariel Schwartz, 10/27/10
filed under: Green Transportation
Remember that odd-looking straddling bus that we covered a few months ago? The lane-straddling monstrosity might soon be headed to the U.S. Developed by Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Co., the bus can straddle up to two lanes of traffic — allowing regular vehicles to go under what is essentially an above-ground subway system. Vehicle drivers, beware.

Downtown Phoenix is getting conveyor-belt sushi restaurant
15 commentsby Howard Seftel - Sept. 21, 2010 04:34 PMRepublic restaurant critic
Attention, downtown Phoenix: Are you ready for a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant?
Ready or not, here it comes, in the form of Sushi Revolution, which will be occupying the spot next to Fair Trade Café on First Avenue at Roosevelt Street around Thanksgiving.
Faster, more casual and less expensive than traditional sushi restaurants, conveyor-belt sushi is very popular in Japan. You sit at the counter and watch the never-ending offerings glide past. Nab whatever you like. Plates are color-coded, to indicate price. At the end of the meal, a staffer adds up your plates and totals your bill. (The Valley's first conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, Sushi Eye, opened in Chandler in 2007.)

Chef/owner Antonio Chavira, 28, thinks downtown's business folks and students will appreciate the format at lunch, while everyone will go for it at dinner or after a downtown event. He plans to stay open until 1 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Although he will offer traditional sushi, Chavira, who calls himself an Anglo-Hispanic, promises "lots of fusion influences." You'll see a chile relleno roll, a duck confit and fig roll and a Maine lobster roll.
Prices, he says, will range from $1.50 to $4.
Sushi Revolution is downtown Phoenix's second sushi restaurant. Moira Sushi, at 215 E. McKinley St., opened about 18 months ago.
Details: Sushi Revolution, 1024 N. First Ave., Phoenix. sushirevolutionphx.com (under construction).Read more: http://www.azcentral.com/thingstodo/dining/articles/2010/09/21/20100921downtown-phoenixs-getting-conveyor-belt-sushi-restaurant.html#ixzz10NPALBtq

What better way to manage coffee table clutter that with a table that doubles up as a paper shredder?

Measuring 16″h x 31″w x 16″d and constructed from aluminum, mahogany, oak and acrylic with a distinct mod aesthetic, the Papervore can easily munch up any correspondence with just a turn of the crank. And of course, once you’ve filled up the base container, off to the recycling bin it goes. Click ahead for an adorable video of this clever creation in action!

Creative building skin for an Energy Plant!!!
Gallery: Gorgeous Dutch Power Plant Clad in Delftware Tiles!
The power plant holds two gas turbines that generate on-demand electricity while providing district heating for the community’s buildings. This makes the facility two times more efficient than plants that generate energy alone, but this also means that the plant has to be located in the community it serves.

Ekateryna Sokolova’s Iris: Where’s the Water to Go?
By Jenny Rector on Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Iris. Designed by Ekateryna Sokolova.
I’m not quite sure what to make of it - because I’m not quite sure how it works. Don’t get me wrong, the idea is simple. Ekateryna Sokolova’s concept washbasin “Iris” is manufactured from a single sheet of material (corian or metal), bent into a sinuous form. As a result of the materiality, the washbasin is lightweight and elegant, while retaining its strength.
