eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV is a 1,200-mile time warp
by Dan Roth (RSS feed) on Dec 15th, 2011 at 3:30PM
The Lamborghini Countach remains the Kleenex of supercars. Its bombastic wedgy shape was so overexposed in the 1980s, it's a wonder it didn't wind up in therapy. As the decade wore on, the Countach picked up more and more plastic surgery, but even so, mid-1980s examples have an unmatched blend of swagger and silliness. And if you're going for a car transported straight out of Tony Montana's seething dreams, don't you want to find the best one? This black beauty offered for auction is a 1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole with just 1,200 miles on the odometer. Countach 5000 QVs... Read More

At Our Age with Tom Bosley Video

|Member *
The At Our Age with Tom Bosley Video introduces simple steps that can save lives!
Fire service professionals recognize the elevated risks faced by older adults, and NFPA®'s innovative video starring Tom Bosley helps you deliver solutions to the community. Now there's a way to teach seniors practical strategies for avoiding fires and falls -- leading causes of preventable injuries for seniors. "I'll bet you know someone who's had a fire at home or been injured in a fall. I do. Almost everyone our age does," says Bosley, an octogenarian himself. His engaging delivery makes it clear that a few basic precautions can reduce hazards and prevent injuries and fatalities.
Even a "minor" burn or fall can be life-threatening, which is why seniors need to:
- Stay fit and maintain good balance, so they can get up and out quickly in an emergency.
- Prevent fires with safe cooking techniques and be careful when smoking or using space heaters.
- Avoid falls by getting rid of clutter and extension cords, and installing handrails.
- Develop escape routes and plans that consider special medical conditions or circumstances.
- Maintain smoke alarms and all safety equipment.
- Make sure everyday hazards don't go unrecognized.
Candid interviews with seniors reveal the need for awareness and offer safety solutions. Use NFPA's At Our Age with Tom Bosley to educate seniors in your community, spark conversation, and promote action. (Adult, 17 min., Presenter's Guide)

That's how I felt, I just knew I needed to give it a try as I did not like using other brands that were not easy to discern what quality I was getting.
Turns out, you can really see the difference. I noticed the water clarity becoming better than I ever thought or realized how bad it had gotten. Very easy to use, highly recommend to anyone.

Best Carbon Value By Kyle on 5/8/2014Kyle would recommend this product to a friendUsed some other carbon from the LFS, until I wised up.... This is the best value for carbon. Make sure you rinse it though, just like all the rest, and it works great!

Fernando Alonso is adamant last season's run of seven winners in seven races will not be repeated this year.
Both the Formula One teams and fans were surprised last year when seven different drivers won the opening seven grands prix.
The spate of randomness was credited to the Pirelli rubber, which the teams took a while to understand.
However, once that happened the usual suspects came to the fore with Red Bull and McLaren winning nine of the last ten grands prix.
Asked during Ferrari's launch of their F138 whether he expected to see another run of different winners, Alonso said: "It will be very difficult to repeat what we saw last year with seven different winners from the first seven races
"That was a one off.
"With things a bit more stabilised, the top teams emerged at the end of last season, so I think highly there will be two or three teams who will win the majority of the race."
He added: "We need to be one of them."
The double World Champion, who won't be action at the first pre-season test at Jerez, also downplayed the decision to wait until Barcelona to run.
"I will follow the tests with great interest and all the information that comes back from Jerez I will be looking at.
"In the next few weeks I will certainly be concentrating on preparing for the Championship. I was busy [with the team] in December and January, and up until a week ago we were involved in activities.
"So, it is right to step back and prepare a bit so I am 100 per cent from Australia to Brazil.
"We are lucky in this team to have a real good level of trust between us. We trust each other explicitly. We have an extended team; we are not just one person..."

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Gurler House
Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.

Lowden-Miller State Forest
Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.

Today, the original orchard location has 2,100 apple trees, with an additional 500 trees at a second farm location. What started out as a simple farm stand has grown to include pick your own apples, raspberries and pumpkins, honey from Honey Hill's own bee hives, a bakery, the Apple Barn Country Store and some old-fashioned family activities. In addition to providing customers with quality products, Honey Hill Orchard gives families a chance to spend a relaxing time on the farm and create some great family memories and traditions.

"I Am The West" - Win or Fail ?
Today is 28th September, the big day !
So what y'all think about the new Ice Cube gangsta shit? Is it good or weak? is it a WIN or a FAIL ?
Hip-Hop is like wine, older is better!
Replies to This Posting
Re: "I Am The West" - Win or Fail ?
Win, I haven't heard a bad album yet come from Cube. Like most artists, U will like one album more than another. I do like his political songs and the ones about the damn cops because we can all relate to those. Just think about how the Bush Administration raped and pillaged this country for 8 years and got away with it and billions of $. And how close we came to having someone as stupid as that lying ass bitch Palin in the White House continuing Bush's lunitic activities. I hope Cube keeps saying it like it is and keeps it Gangsta for real. Then, we all win. Peace.

The USB stick itself feels light and cheap (which is good and bad) It feels very plasticy (if that's a word :P). You need to hold the red button when putting it into a USB port or it will retract which is annoying. The transfer speeds is it's major bottleneck I bought this drive to install a portable os to boot from but the speeds are simply too slow!

Some hydrofracking groups in New York State say they are getting closer to seeing the highly controversial practice legalized. Our Lori Chung has more on why they are so hopeful.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- "It's not just about gas companies making money. Every single industry, from car dealerships, to realtors," said Cobleskill Mayor Mark Galasso.
All stand to benefit from gas development in New York according to advocates pressing the case for tracking the Marcellus shale.
"The average salary for core industry jobs in Pennsylvania is $89,000," said Brian McMahony, New York State Economic Development Council Executive Director.
The panel convened by the Associated General Contractors of New York State, hopeful that after four years of legal and political wrangling, legal high volume horizontal fracking may be in sight, citing a decision by the governor to extend the DEC's regulatory review of the process for 90 days.
Attorney Yvonne Hennessey said, "There'll be revised rules hopefully in mid December and then there'll be a short comment period. There's no need for a public hearing."
An optimistic timeline after years of debate. Some advocates here slamming environmental groups who have raised concerns about groundwater contamination and health risks for fear mongering. But those seeking protections remain vigilant about protecting the state.
"The governor has takes three experts to review the health impacts of fracking here in New York State and we want to make sure that those experts have the time to do the job right, so there should be no false political deadlines put on them," said Katherine Nadeau, Environmental Advocates of New York Program Director.

Title: Cute decor

The kit was super cute. Even with the price seeming to be a little high it was worth not driving around to a million stores to find things that match and the price probably offset the cost in fuel I would have spent. Everything looked great and everyone complimented on it.

Date: Sep 01, 2011
we received our package and everything was in terrible condition. All the paper products were crinkled and bent, the candles were melted and the durability of the product was embarrassing.... I called and requested that my money be returned and I will go to the local party store to get supplies. Not what I wanted to do but I certainly won't use the product from here.

Title: It was nice
Date: Jun 12, 2011
i liked the product. It came right on time. The hats were a little messed up when i put together. The center peice was flimsy, then again i ripped it on accident. The directions didnt tell you to use BOTH of the center peices together. I thought they were 2 seperate ones. Plates and everything was cute. The foil balloon was great and all but i didn't have something to inflate it. Came with a ton of other balloons which were nice. I reccommend getting helium tank to blow the balloons due to the fact they will droop when hung. Loved that it came with a candle! I may get again.. Not sure. Hope it helped

A toned abdomen is often considered as a sign of a healthy body. And there are others who crave for a waist line that does not embarrass us and allows us to wear the clothes that we like. For those who are still struggling to tuck in their tummy and get well-toned abs, yoga can be of great help. While working out in the gym has its effects, On the other hand, yoga refreshes your body and mind; improves your metabolism and also helps you reach closer to the goal of a terrific-looking tummy. A couple of hours spent once in a Sri Sri Yoga course will equip you with simple weight-cutting yoga postures which can be practiced daily.
Here's a list of yoga postures to get you started on your journey to a jaw-dropping tummy:
Kapal Bhati (Skull shining breathing technique)
A Breathing technique that tones the abs? Yes! The Skull shining breathing technique improves the metabolism rate, improves the digestive tract functioning, and thus helps in reducing weight effectively. Begin your yoga routine with this breathing technique.
Viparita Shalabhasana (Superman pose)
The Superman pose stretches and strengthens muscles of the chest, shoulder, arms, legs, abdomen and lower back. This is an excellent posture to tone the abdomen and lower back and is also one of the most effective workouts for abs and stomach.
The Cobra pose strengthens the entire back and shoulders. It also helps tone the abdomen and improves blood circulation.
(Seated forward bend)
The Seated forward bend stretches the lower back, hamstrings and hips. It also tones the abdominal and pelvic organs.
(Standing forward bend)
All the muscles of the back are stretched in the Standing forward bend. This posture tones the abdominal organs and also improves the blood supply to the nervous system.
(Warrior pose)
The Warrior pose stretches and strengthens the shoulders, chest, belly and groins. It also helps tone the body and is an effective stress relieving posture.
(Scale pose)
The Scale pose is a variation of Padmasana (Lotus pose). It helps strengthen the arms and abdomen.
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana
(Bridge pose variation)
This variation of the Bridge pose helps improve digestion by stimulating the abdominal organs.
(Garland pose)
The Garland pose is very good for toning the belly.
Shavasana (Corpse pose)
End your yoga routine by lying down a few minutes in the Corpse pose. This posture helps rejuvenate your body by relieving stress and by repairing tissues and cells.
The benefits of regular yoga practice leads to a healthy body and a calm mind. Yoga is more about toning your entire body rather than just body-building. So, even if you become irregular in your practice, the chances of weight bouncing back will be a slower process as compared to a gyming routine.
For those who are already initiated in basic yoga practice, can learn advanced ways of attaining a chiseled body at a Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 course.
Yoga practice helps develop the body and mind bringing a lot of health benefits yet is not a substitute for medicine. It is important to learn and practice yoga postures under the supervision of a trained Sri Sri Yoga teacher. In case of any medical condition, practice yoga postures after consulting a doctor and a Sri Sri Yoga teacher. Find a Sri Sri Yoga course at an Art of Living Center near you. Do you need information on courses or share feedback? Write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com
