For all those looking for a private jet and not looking to break
the bank, the HondaJet should definitely be in contention for your aviational
needs. The HondaJet is the fastest and most fuel efficient aircraft in its
class with a 420 knot cruise speed, a range of 1180 nautical miles, and a 30-35
percent better fuel efficiency at cruise speed versus other jets of comparable
performance. HondaJet’s cabin is the clincher as it sets a new standard for
interior space and comfort being longer than even larger ‘light jet’ offerings
with space for a fully-private lavatory and a 57-cubic foot aft cargo hold.

Doomsday Scenarios: 13 Ways The World Could End Today

Nuclear Holocaust
"One nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day." It was
true back in the late 1950s, and it's just as true now. The world could end at
any moment thanks to the countless nukes out there, just lying around.
According to a 2010 Ploughshares Fund report, 22,000 active nuclear warheads
are scattered around the globe. And that number doesn't include smaller - and
therefore more susceptible to theft - nuclear weapons like atomic artillery
shells and bunker busters. In truth, we're still exactly where we've been for
the past 70 years: one international argument away from the end of the world.

The 5 Most Obviously Drug-Fueled TV Appearances Ever

5. Crispin Glover on Letterman
Date: July 28, 1987
Evidence: The first symptom is the wig. We're not sure what George McFly's hair looked like prior to this interview, but we're pretty certain it didn't look like that. Then there's the clothing. He's dressed in striped pants, a heinous purple shirt and a pair of black platform shoes that don't appear to fit him. Keep in mind that this is '87, not the early '70s. If you're wearing what Crispin Glover is wearing during this interview, then you've clearly been high long enough to have gone shoe shopping while f**ked up. As far as behavioral symptoms, we're not really sure how to describe what Glover is doing here. At first he seems to be terrified of Dave and the audience, but then he challenges Letterman to an arm wrestling match and tries to jump-kick him in the head.
Drug(s) They Were Probably On: Difficult to tell. At first it seems like a classic acid freak-out. He is looking at Dave like he has three heads and the audience like they're a big tangled lizard orgy. But then he starts getting physically aggressive. Our theory: a second drug along the lines of PCP, taken right before he went out, kicked in halfway through the interview.

Today, there are only seven species of big cats that
survived from what was - about 25 million years ago - a remarkably diverse group of
large felid carnivores. These seven living species are classified into three
groups that include the Panthera, Felis, and Acinonyx. Each species is quite
unique and can be distinguished from the others by their different body size,
behaviours, and appearance.

Your home, whether
old or new, could be harboring unhealthy (and invisible) toxins. These chemical
compounds are found in emissions from paint, plastics, carpet, cleaning
solutions, and numerous building materials. Three major pollutants found in the
home include:
Formaldehyde (carpet,
upholstery, glues, paint, and more)
Benzene (plastics,
synthetic fibers, lubricants, rubber, pesticides, and more)
Trichloroethylene (paint
removers, rug cleaning solution, adhesives, and more)
Despite all these
offenders we are lucky enough to have nature, which has a way of keeping itself
clean. There are many powerful air-cleaning plants that naturally remove
pollutants from the air. We picked nine of our favorites and offer tips on how
to keep them in top working condition.
Tip: In a
2,000 square foot house, bring in 15 to 20 plants in 6-inch pots or larger.
Rather than scattering single plants, create group displays in each room for a
great look and maximum air quality. Adjust accordingly for larger or smaller
homes. Before purchasing, ask about which plants, if ingested, could be harmful
to pets.
