Just Two Dudes In Jet Packs Flying Beside An Airliner

This seems like something James Bond would do in his spare time between fighting international baddies.

Watch two men wearing jet packs fly in formation with a jet above Dubai. Sure, the stunt is carefully choreographed, the YouTube description assures, but, wow.

The high-speed, high-altitude dance between jet-pack pilots Yves Rossy and Vince Reffet of Jetman Dubai and an Emirates A380 jet took three months to plan. But it takes just seconds of viewing to thrill.

Yoga Heads To New, Terrifying Heights On Glass Bridge Over Canyon

Time for some don’t-look-down-ward dog.

These 100 color-coordinated gals look so incredibly serene doing yoga atop a glass-bottomed suspension bridge -- 590 feet in the air -- in China’s Shiniuzhai National Geological Park, that we almost don’t feel terrified for them.

Even so, we couldn't help remembering a different glass walkway in China that cracked recently. We’ll probably stick to doing our tree poses from the safety of solid earth for now.

Here's What It's Like To Be A Sex Tourist

Sex tourism can mean many different things depending on who you are and what you're looking to find. For some people, booking a vacation that will center around a sexual event, like San Francisco's Folsom Street Fair, allows them to meet other people who have similar sexual interests. For others, traveling for sex means not having to worry about running into someone they know while in an intimate position. And some people just want the thrill of visiting a place like Amsterdam's Red Light District that welcomes and encourages sexual exploration.

In this episode of HuffPost's Love+Sex Podcast, co-hosts Carina Kolodny and Noah Michelson take a virtual trip around the world to learn more about sex tourism and what motivates people to hit the road in search of sexual adventures. They speak with Matt, a DJ from Australia who travels halfway around the world each year to attend the world's biggest leather event;  Jody Hanson, an academic and author who has written extensively about sex tourism; and Elard Tissot Van Patot, the founder and CEO of Amsterdam Red Light Tour:

Classic Italian Recipes From A New Italian Restaurant

By Vanessa Pisk

In the center of Brescia, the restaurant Classico opened a few months ago in a faux-ancient building but charming in its own right, and with a lovely little courtyard (Via Callegari 2). Shaded by numerous plants, the restaurant focuses on aperitifs and snacks. The importance of cocktails is evident in the first room, with a large table and well-stocked bar, where the outstanding bartender Cristian Manassi moves confidently, preparing sophisticated drinks with a beautiful presentation. Cristian alternates classic recipes with reinterpretations and personal creations, and he also offers a wide selection of Italian craft beers. Heading the kitchen is Michele Bontempi, a young chef already known for the delicious hamburger he developed for his restaurant Dispensa in San Felice del Benaco (Piazza Municipio 10), on the Brescian shores of Lake Garda. Here sandwiches are served along with nibbles as well as other more complex dishes. Michele lavishes attention on the quality of the products, which are sophisticated but presented with an informal touch.

300 g (10 oz) fresh egg tagliatelle
2 zucchini
200 g (7 oz) Norcia jowl bacon grated Tuscan pecorino cheese about 1 tbsp butter

Chop the bacon and julienne the zucchini, and sauté them
in some butter. Cook until crisp. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until it is done but firm. Drain and add to the skillet with the bacon and zucchini. Cook for another minute with

a tablespoon of the pasta water. Using a ladle and large fork, twist the pasta into a nest and sprinkle with the Tuscan pecorino.

In the meantime, simmer the sauce until it has cooked down to one-third. Before serving the chicken, brush it with the soy reduction.

EGGPLANT BALLS

Peel the eggplant and chop finely into a tartare. Sauté until wilted. Add some breadcrumbs, the grated cheese, salt and pepper. Roll into balls. Dip them first in the beaten egg and then dredge them in breadcrumbs. Fry for about 2 minutes.

Here's The Historic First Day Of Snow In All 50 States

Wondering when you can build your first Frosty? It may be sooner than you think.

Experts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration made a map based on the historic first days of snow all across the United States, so you can predict when your region is likely to see its first flurry this year (if it hasn't already). 

 

Light blue dots mean the first day of snow should've already happened, according to historic trends, while lavender or purple dots suggest it's just arrived or coming soon. And those colorless dots you see in California and Florida? They indicate that snowfall is "too rare to analyze." #Rude. 

Visit Climate.gov's zoomable version of the map to hone in on your particular region (including all of Alaska, though they note snow in Hawaii is "too rare to analyze"), and get ready!

Before snow hits, it's important to make sure your home is running at maximum efficiency. A little bit of prep will keep snuggly heat in and mega snowdrifts out:

Watch Canadian Passports Completely Transform Under Blacklight

United States passports may be ridiculously powerful, but we'd dare say they're not as ridiculously cool as Canada's.

As of mid-2013, Canadian passports have new page designs with UV-reactive inks, which appear normal to the naked eye but emit a dazzling glow when you put them under blacklight. The old Canadian passport had a similar feature, but the newer ones offer a superiorly stunning lineup of scenes from Canadian history, as one Imgur user reminded us this week. 

Security is the purpose, says Jessica Seguin, a spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The new passports' UV-sensitive designs "serve to further secure the visa pages against counterfeiting," she told HuffPost. And they look darn good doing it:

Make sure your passport is in an acceptable condition to travel, and avoid finicky passport expiration dates:

Seattle Gum Wall Not Sticking Around Much Longer

The bubble has burst for Seattle's famous Pike Place Market gum wall, which is set for its first complete cleaning after two decades.

"For the first time in 20 YEARS, I’m due for a total scrub down," reads a message on the gum wall's Facebook page. "Just like you, all that sugar can really mess up the surface of your bricks, er, teeth!"

The gum wall contains "likely more than one million gum wads," according to the the Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority. 

The PDA hired Cascadian Building Maintenance to handle the sticky task.

"The machine will melt the gum with 280-degree steam," The Seattle Times reports. "It will fall to the ground, and a two- to three-man crew will collect the gum in five-gallon buckets."

Kelly Foster, who works for the maintenance company, told the newspaper, "This is probably the weirdest job we’ve done."

Following the cleaning, visitors will once again be able to stick their discarded chewing gum on the famous wall, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

The cleaning will take place Nov. 10.
