They also looked at which candies were most popular over the two weeks following Halloween, during which M&M’s and lollipops surge in popularity.

Located in an idyllic spot in the heart of nature, this house completely blends into the environment and makes the most out of what nature has to offer. North Carolina based Platt Architecture have beautifully integrated the building into the geometry and geography of the site. Like a bridge, the house starts on one bank of the small river, then crosses it with a structure perched on stone pillars and comes down again on the other bank, creating a very original living space. The two extremities of the bridge and the stone pillars root the house to the ground like a giant tree in a secular forest. These two sides go up on two floors and contain the night/private parts of the house, while the bridge structure is occupied by the day/ communal areas where everybody can enjoy the view and the sound of the river. The materials contribute strongly in making the house one with the site. The structure of the house is made in wood and painted in the same color as the trunks of the surrounding trees, and the pillars are made of river stones which seem picked from the river bed and piled up to sustain the bridge. The interior follows the same principle, and the overall atmosphere is warm and cozy with wooden floors, exposed wooden roof structure, wooden beams and stone walls. The interior decoration is traditionally beautiful. There is a harmonious mix of wooden pieces and upholstered ones, spiced up by great wall art and decorative lamps and objects.

The Air Jordan 3 first hit the scene back in 1988, worn on His Airness’ feet as he ran his fourth NBA season. With the obvious influence of Nike’s own Tinker Hatfield present in the elephant print around the toe and heel and the first appearance of visible Air units, the silhouette was so far ahead of its time that it is still dominating the game today. The latest evidence comes in the form of this Powder Blue Jordan 3, which is queuing up to be the first launch from the Jordan Brand in 2014. With a nod toward Jordan’s alma mater combined with hits of black on the tongue, laces, and the heel, the drop offers a strong case for you to cop. The Air Jordan 3 ‘Powder Blue’ drops Saturday, January 18 for $170 at nike.com and at select retailers, including Eastbay, Foot Locker, Footaction, Champs Sports and other Jordan retailers.

Release Date: January 18, 2014 (Saturday)
