Maria Fowler Cleavage Plays Naughty and NiceI'm an upfront kind of guy. So let me just come out and say it -- I've fallen in lust pretty hard with Maria Fowler these past few months. Okay, to be completely honest, I'm smitten with the delicious funbag temptations The Only Way is Essex reality hottie displays pretty much each evening. This glamour model turned kind of actress turned definite aficionado of the low cut tops, has bent over and leaned forward her way right into my lower male heart. I doubt I could shake her amazing funbags if I tried (wait, that didn't come out right). Maria, call me. |
Prague ZooPrague Zoo specializes in breeding species threatened with extinction The zoo has considerable merit in preserving the gene pool of the Przewalski horse, taking part in the repatriation program of the bearded root vole and Quaqua. Participates in 45 European breeding programs EEP. Part of the exhibition are nearly three hundred species of rare plants and trees, some of them – unique. In the Prague Zoo has kept 1,180 th 167 species of mammals, 1366 birds of 265 species, 792 reptiles, 116 species.

Nina Dobrev is Photogenic And Flexible‘Vampire Diaries’ star Nina Dobrev is in the new issue of ‘Seventeen Fitness’ magazine, and HOLY COW is there really a magazine about flexible teen girls in bikinis and cheerleading shorts? Jesus Christ. I would charge $300 an issue if I ran that magazine. It might as well be called ‘Jailbait’ with an exclamation point at the end, and the pages should all be laminated. On the down side it’s practically entrapment so I bet the editor gets called into court a lot. |
More Crazy Intersections And Traffic JamsThe only thing that helps while stuck in traffic is knowing that somewhere others have it worse. This page will come as a stress-reliever for many - seeing how others are also battling horrid commute traffic jams and ridiculously complex interchanges every day. We covered this topic before - see Part 1 and Part 2, but new material has recently come out (it would, wouldn't it?), and so we feel obliged to give you another portion of commuting nightmares. Still the winner here is this urban roadways "spaghetti factory" - in Los Angeles, of course - the City Built for Cars (and some people). |

Gumpert Tornante by TouringTouring Superleggera and Gumpert have chosen the 2011 Geneva Motor Show stage for the world premiere of the Gumpert Tornante. Touring Superleggera provided the design and body engineering while Gumpert will take care of manufacturing and sales of the next model, complementing the Gumpert range as of 2012. The Tornante is showcased at the stage of 1:1 static style model in the best Italian tradition. Gumpert have gained a reputation for their impressive street legal racing cars. They addressed Touring Superleggera with a call for elegance, more passengers and luggage space, improved comfort, access and ventilation, and noise reduction. However, the fundamentals of performance and dynamic properties had to be respected without compromise. At Touring, designers and body engineers started then a process of creative elimination to define the true essentials of all the parameters involved, limiting unnecessary weight and volume. The result is still a thoroughbred, just a few grades more civilized, with some extra skills for an enjoyable voyage. It is called a Fast Tourer. However, let there be no misunderstanding about its intentions. |
Dogs Drink Just Like Cats Do ... But SloppierDespite previous suggestions that cats are daintier drinkers than dogs, a new study finds that canines use the same techniques as kitties to guzzle liquids. Like cats, dogs depend on the adhesive properties of water to lap the liquid into their mouths. And though the process in dogs is a bit more slobbery than it is for cats, both animals use the tongue like a conveyer belt to transports dollops of water to the throat. "We were able to show once the liquid got into the mouth, how it was transported through the mouth to be swallowed," study researcher Alfred Crompton, of Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, told LiveScience. Crompton and his Harvard colleague Catherine Musinsky got the idea of looking at dog's drinking habits when two Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers showed them their data on how cats drink. That study found that cats first touch the tip of their tongue to the surface of a liquid. The liquid adheres and stretches into a long column, around which the cat then snaps its jaws. Based on slow-motion videos of dogs drinking, the researchers believed that dogs use their tongues as ladles, scooping water willy-nilly. But Crompton and Musinsky had access to better tools than regular video: They could use high-speed X-ray video to see inside an animal's mouth while it was drinking. |
Hennessey Venom GT: First RidePilots who fly above Mach 1 sometimes speak of a supersonic moment that causes the instruments, ever-so-briefly, to blur. Charging down a track in the 1,200-hp Henessey Venom GT there's a moment when my eyes pull the same trick. This isn't a car, man, this is the best way to die. Bill Clinton famously said "There's nothing wrong with America, that can't be fixed with what's right with America." John Hennessey — who I'm guessing didn't vote for Clinton based on things he says on Facebook — has his own version of this: there's nothing wrong with the Lotus Exige that can't be fixed by what's right with an American V8. In this case it's a GM-sourced 6.2-liter V8 boosted with a pair of giant, earth-spinning Garrett ball bearing turbochargers sitting below a massive engine cover lined with NASA-spec gold foil that looks like it was borrowed from an exhibit at the NASA Space Center down the road from Hennessey's main campus in Sealy, Texas. |
Elrod House by John LautnerKnown as “The Elrod House”, this John Lautner-designed five bedroom, five and a half bathroom residence was commissioned by designer Arthur Elrod in 1968 and has been featured in numerous books, magazines and museum exhibitions. It is the iconic home perched at the very tip of the Southridge enclave, easily viewable throughout Palm Springs, California. Organic shapes, monumental construction and world class design create an extraordinary experience of space that Lautner himself described as “timeless” architecture. The 60’-wide circular living is surmounted by a conical dome that fans out in nine petals between nine clerestories angled up to bring in light. Retractable curved glass curtain walls open the entire living room and pool terrace to panoramic views of Mount San Jacinto, Mount San Gorgonio and the full sweep of the valley below and mountain ranges beyond. The very rock of the ridge is incorporated into the design throughout the home. The master suite is a world unto itself. The main house guest suite is a gem. A large viewing or entertaining deck leads to a dome and spiral stair case to a large guest house with two bedroom suites and a maid’s quarters, each with private baths, and a gym with a view. Th 8,901 square foot home was featured in the classic James Bond movie, “Diamonds Are Forever”, in 1971. |
