THE WORLD FIRST UNDERGROUND SUBTERRANEAN LONDON FIVE STAR HOTEL

Here's a unique subterranean London hotel development plan at the Hersham Golf Club in Surry, London is all about going back to the basics to retain the natural, designed by ReardonSmith Architects. The new plan proposes to construct all 200+ guest rooms under the ground in order to preserve the luxuriant appeal of this greenbelt location. The concept promises to integrate the hotel, spa and golf facilities into a single architecturally exciting organic composition, along with extensive on-site re-vegetation and re-organization of existing spaces that will actually leave the site even more eco-friendly than it is now. The commercially viable solution is also believed to be the first to do this.

RATE MY PUPPY iPHONE APP

The Rate My Puppy iPhone app celebrates the adorableness of puppies by allowing users to rate the cuteness of each individual pup and to upload their cutest puppy picks for a community of dog lovers to vote on using a five star rating system. It's like having an interactive "Best In Show" right on your iPhone.

Since Rate My Puppy has just been launched, it will take some time for new photos to populate the app. Even though each photo upload is screened before it's deemed appropriate, it took roughly fifteen minutes for two of my own pups to be added into the mix. Which left me instantly sitting in a puddle of happy juice.

Rate My Puppy is a certified wholesome, kid friendly, heart melter that just may be the last great iPhone app of 2009. Even if it's not, you should grab this endless stream of pure joy while it's still free. This app is an instant winner!

Sure, you might not be winning any hot-or-not style competitions yourself, but that doesn’t mean your dog has to suffer.
