    How to Make a Wi Fi Booster Using Only a Beer Can: "
    Not only is this clever use of a beer can an ultra cheap tech hack, it also means less fiddling around with cardboard and aluminum foil as required by other hack methods. This method has been proven to improve Wi-Fi reception from around 2 bars to about 4 on average, varying between 3 and 5. Give it a go – all you've got to waste is a beer can!

    5. Cut around the end with the opening almost all the way. Leave a little bit of metal to keep attached the part that will be the base (see the white line in the illustration).

    8. Place the completed Wi-Fi booster on your router. Place it so that the antenna pokes through the opening, and stick the base of the can to the router with a small piece of poster tack or other suitable adhesive. It's time to test how much your Wi-Fi is now boosted!

    Real Wedding of the Week: Anna and Chris in Audubon, PA

    Photos: Lorraine Daley Wedding Photography and Allure West Studios
    Anna and Chris met in Chicago in 2007—they were teammates on a co-ed softball team and the couple became engaged in the fall of 2009. "Chris slipped a ring on my finger while I was sleeping," says Anna. "When I woke up, he was on one knee, asking me to check my finger." For their wedding day, she chose a silk organza gown with a sequined bow by Cymbeline, purchased at the salon in New York City. "It was the first dress that felt like 'me,'" Anna says. She made her hair accessory using netting and a vintage pin. Following the ceremony, cocktail hour was held in the nineteenth-century fieldstone barn. Guests enjoyed bluegrass music by Noggin Hill and sipped spiked Arnold Palmers—the couple's signature cocktail—in old-fashioned mason jars.

    The Worst iPhone Case Ever

    The Worst iPhone Case Ever: "

    We’ve seen our fair share of weird and creepy iPhone accessories, but this one might reach a new height. Coming from Japan, let me introduce you to the Hand Case.

    We don’t know much about this case. I can’t tell you where you can get it or how much it costs, but that shouldn’t be too much of an issue as I doubt you’d be interested in buying it anyway… (...)

    Week in Review | The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

    To wrap up this week, we decided to sift through the news and share what we are excited for, what we are sad about and what we just don't understand. Here is this week's The Good, The Bad and The Ugly:

    The Good: Karl Lagerfeld made headlines when he announced he was doing a second fast fashion collaboration (his first was with H&M in 2004). We were pleasantly surprised by his upcoming fall collection for Macy's: cheap, chic and it even has Cathy Horyn's stamp of approval. We're sold.

    The Bad: The Alexander McQueen exhibit, "Savage Beauty" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art was extended until August 7th. Haven't seen it already? Don't bother. The line is so long anyone who enters the museum has to wait an hour even if they aren't seeing the exhibit. Too bad.

    The Ugly: Kate Bosworth always looks chic. We love her Isabel Marant booties. What we are not loving? Her new dip dyed do. Or should I say "don't." So ugly.

    Blood Falls



    Blood Falls: "

    Blood Falls

    Natural time capsule containing an alien ecosystem
    This five-story, blood-red waterfall pours very slowly out of the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valleys. When geologists first discovered the frozen waterfall in 1911, they thought the red color came from algae, but its true nature turned out to be much more spectacular.

    Roughly two million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist in a place with no light or free oxygen and little heat, and are essentially the definition of 'primordial ooze.' The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

    The existence of the Blood Falls ecosystem shows that life can exist in the most extreme conditions on Earth. Though tempting to make the connection, it does not prove, however, that life could exist on other planets with similar environments and similar bodies of frozen water—notably Mars and Jupiter's moon Europa—as such life would have to arise from a completely different chain of events.

    Even if it doesn't confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life, Antarctica's Blood Falls is a wonder to behold both visually and scientifically.


    Foods that Trigger Rheumatoid Arthritis Flare-Ups

    Do restaurant meals and snack attacks leave you with rheumatoid arthritis aches and pains? Certain foods – some of your favorites, like steak and cookies – may be causing flare-ups. Find out what you should stay away from and how to pick tasty substitutes. Plus, what’s your inflammation IQ? Take our quiz to find out…

    When you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a restaurant menu or open refrigerator can seem like a test: Can you find foods that satisfy your cravings without making joints swell, ache and stiffen?

    Definitely. It’s easier than you think.

    You can still eat meat – as long as you choose leaner cuts. Crave salty snacks? Eat nuts instead of chips.

    The key is following an anti-inflammatory diet, which helps you avoid RA flares. And these smarter food choices aren’t necessarily boring ones. Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, high-fiber grains and healthy fats can all help you reduce RA aches – in a matter of days.

    “I start my RA patients on a general anti-inflammatory diet, and they feel better within a week,” says internist Leo Galland, M.D., whose book The Fat Resistance Diet (Three Rivers Press) is based on anti-inflammatory foods.

    “Their pain and stiffness is greatly reduced.”

    Charlize Theron's Style Evolution (PHOTOS)


    Charlize Theron could make any mundane activity look glamorous, with her perfectly groomed blond mane and enviably long legs. Case in point: the South African-born beauty's many red-carpet hits over the past several years, while celebrating roles in films such as Monster, for which she won an Oscar.

    In honor of the Dior devotee's 36th birthday today, we've rounded up some of her most memorable looks. And expect to see plenty more of Theron on the awards show circuit: Her upcoming film Young Adult, which premieres at the Toronto Film Festival next month, has already been deemed Oscar bait by The Hollywood Reporter.

    Selina Kyle Catwoman Pic For 'The Dark Knight Rises

    Having already introduced Tom Hardy as Bane to the world with that creepy over the shoulder shot back in May, Christopher Nolan and the team behind his third and final epic Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises," have secretly revealed another first look at a new star.
    Found in the official website, here is the first image of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, the alter-ego of the famous Catwoman. Hathaway, to say the least, looks much different than past Catwoman actresses, with the glasses, lack of any ears or mask and gigantic powerwheels motorbike setting her apart from Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry.
    This is the latest release from the film, though the previous ones weren't exactly approved; paparazzi shots got clear images of the new Batmobile, as well as some epic fight scenes between the Dark Knight and Bane.
    For more, check out the film's first teaser trailer.
    UPDATE: More photos of Hathaway as Catwoman have surfaced from the set; see them below!
