Received today this picture of Jesse playmate who in turn received it from Jonas as shown invest fully in the 356B as he raced historic racing with the 80's . Thanks Jesse and especially a big thank Jonas for the image - bow and goats.
Whoever thought that historic racing was a coward running with old cars is completely wrong - this kit , it was just as hard as when the cars were new.
And this is how Jonas racing out when , for once, stood still. Thanks again Jesse and especially Jonas for pictures.

Photo of Cruise Destination San Juan
San Juan is unique amongst Caribbeanisland cruise ports. It is a major city just like you find on themainland of North America or Europe. It dwarfs the other Caribbeanisland cruise ports.
Cruising Boston and Manhattan Ship Pics
Spring has finally come to thenortheastern United States. Leaves are on the trees and theflowering plants are in bloom.
With the Spring, the northeasterncruising season begins. Ships come up from their winter bases inFlorida and the ships that stay the winter in the northeast start tochange their itineraries to include places like Bermuda, Canada andNew England.

I have always liked Holland AmericaLine's Eurodam and so I was quite pleased to find the ship performingso well when I cruised on her recently.
Cruising to the French Riviera Pics
Ever since I was a child I can rememberthe French Riviera as being synonymous with luxury and glamor. Itwas the place where royalty and movie stars went to vacation. It wasalso the location for numerous films including Hitchcock's “ToCatch A Thief” and several James Bond movies.
It wasn't until I first went therethat I realized why this place attracts people who could go anywherein the world. It is simply a beautiful combination of sea, mountainsand charming looking towns. The light is soft, not too harsh. Theweather is mild, not too hot and not too cold. A really nicecombination.

Carnival Glory Photo Tour 2013 Pics
This week the focus is on CarnivalGlory. The Glory has recently been through what Carnival calls theFun Ship 2.0 revitalization. Under this program, ships in theCarnival fleet are being augmented with new features and venues foundon Carnival's latest ships such as Carnival Breeze.
Photos of Disney Dream Cruise Ship Pics
This week our primary focus is the Disney Dream of Disney Cruise Lines. The Dream was the third shipbuilt for Disney. But while she maintained the traditional oceanliner look of Disney's two earlier ships, she is a much larger ship. In addition, she was built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany,which is known for its quality.
Queen Mary 2 transatlantic Pics
I have recently returned from a trip toEurope by sea. I traveled over to the United Kingdom on the QueenMary 2 and I returned on Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas. In between the two crossings, I did a cruise around the British Isleson Ocean Princess.
If you have the time, transatlanticcrossings are a great way to get to and from Europe. Air travel hasbecome notorious for its hassles and delays. In contrast, travelingby sea is a relaxing and memorable experience.
A transatlantic crossing, however, isdifferent than a cruise. There are more sea days and the seasometimes can be more turbulent than on a cruise. But most peoplefind that there is more to do on a crossing than there is availabletime. Also, modern ships are good at handling the weather.
Cruising to Tuscany Pics
Tuscany is a fabulous cruisedestination. It has beautiful countryside, historic cities and greatart. The only problem is that it is all inland.
The vast majority of cruise shipsoffering cruises to Florence and Pisa stop at Livorno or Leghorn asit used to be called. It is an industrial port which suffered badlyfrom bombing during World War II. As a result, there isn't that muchto see in the city itself and the busy movement and storage of cargomakes the port less than ideal for passengers on cruise ships,especially the large ships that dock in the midst of the cargo area.
Abandon ship of Queen Elizabeth 2 Pics
type="html">
Last month was the 21stanniversary of the grounding of Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) off ofMartha's Vineyard Massachusetts. This accident required theevacuation of the passengers from the ship and severely damaged theship.
I happened to be aboard during thatcruise. It was a typically pleasant QE2 cruise to Canada and NewEngland up until the accident. Then it became something of anadventure. Inasmuch as no one was hurt by the accident, the suspenselay in how we were going to get ashore and what would happen to whatwas then thought to be the last of the great ocean liners.
Carnival Splendor Revisited Pics
The first time that I saw Carnival Splendor was a few months after she entered service in 2008. She wasdoing a series of Caribbean cruises from Miami before heading aroundSouth America to her new home port, Long Beach, California. Thisyear, she returned to the East Coast to take up station as CarnivalCruise Lines' year-round ship in New York. In between much hashappened to the ship including a fire that attracted media attentionand subsequent repairs and upgrades that did not get much newscoverage. Consequently, I felt it was about time to go back and lookat the Splendor again to see what kind of cruise experience she isproviding these days.
Royal Yacht Britannia Pics
With a new baby expected any day now,many people are thinking about the British Royal Family. Accordingly, it seems fitting to look at the Royal Family's ship, HMYBritannia.
The Britannia was built in the early1950s not to be a pleasure boat for the Royal Family but to assistthe monarch in her duties as head of state by acting as a mobile baseof operations during her visits to foreign lands. Among otherthings, the yacht allowed the Queen to host receptions and banquetsunder the British flag while she was abroad. And the list of foreignheads of state that visited Britannia during her 40 years of serviceis quite impressive, including four United States Presidents.
Alhambra, Cruise port Malaga, Spain Pics
When I was growing up, I rememberhearing of the Alhambra. It was most likely in connection withWashington Irving's writings, as his house was not far from ours. However, the image stayed in mind of this beautiful castle in Spain. This image was only reenforced as I grew older and read countlesstravel articles discussing the romance of the Alhambra.
Norwegian Jewel revisited Pics
Norwegian Cruise Line is in thespotlight this week. Its new ship, Norwegian Breakaway, is coming toNew York to take up residence. This is an exciting prospect asBreakaway appears to combine the innovativeness of Norwegian Epicwith the quality of a Meyer Werft ship.
Norwegian has had two ships based in New York for some time now. With Breakaway's arrival, one of thoseships, Norwegian Jewel, will be re-deployed to other itineraries.

Celebrity Eclipse superior cruise ship Pics
Celebrity Eclipse is a superior cruiseship. She is one of five Solstice class ships built by Meyer Werftfor Celebrity Cruises. All of these ships are nicely designed withattention to detail. They also offer a very good array of diningoptions ranging from casual to healthy to classic fine dining. Inaddition, they offer a good program of reasonably sophisticatedentertainment and activities even though the enrichment program isnot as cutting edge as it was just a few years ago. They are alsogood ships from a nautical perspective.
Royal Caribbean's new Quantum of the Seas
It is hard to believe that people arenot already lounging by the side of the pools or enjoying theentertainment on Quantum of the Seas. After the media preview heldlast week in New York City, I felt that the ship is out there sailingthe seas somewhere. In reality, however, that is still some 18months in the future.
What made me feel that Quantum mustalready exist? To begin, we were shown a video with realisticlooking images of the ship cutting through smooth seas. Then we wereshown Royal Caribbean Chairman Richard Fain flying in the ship'sskydiving simulator and Royal Caribbean International President AdamGoldstein playing table tennis with Kristen Chenowith, the ship'sgodmother, in the Seaplex - - a venue that transforms from sportscomplex to entertainment center. We then saw Ms. Chenowith invarious other parts of the ship.
Norwegian Breakaway Photo Tour Pics
The reason why Norwegian Breakaway isan important ship tends to be obscured by her size, all of the newfeatures aboard the ship, the Peter Max painting on her hull and byNorwegian Cruise Line's decision to base its new ship, not in Floridabut rather in New York City. She is an important ship because she isa further refinement on a new model of cruising.
Emerald Princess Photos 2013
This week the focus shifts to PrincessCruises with an expanded and updated profile of Emerald Princess.
I had enjoyed myself on EmeraldPrincess the last time I was onboard and I was pleased to find thatshe still presents a quite enjoyable cruise experience. Apparently,quite a few other people agree as the ship attracts a high proportionof passengers who are in the upper tiers of Princess' loyaltyprogram. These are experienced cruisers who do not spend their timeon ships that do not deliver a superior cruise experience.

Southampton in southernEngland is a great place for cruise ship enthusiasts.

ASUU STRIKE: Students urge FG and ASUU to re-negotiate
I said this would happen when I wrote a piece title: Pensioner, 71, sues ASUU. Read it Here and now it’s beginning to manifest. If ASUU doesn’t get their acts back to school soon, even their own students and those who were in support of their course would begin to see them as the part of the problem.
Students have urged Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to go back to the negotiating table to resolve the crisis in federal universities as students are tired of sitting at home.
Acting Senate President of the National Association of Nigerian Students John Shima, while addressing a press conference in Abuja, said Nigerian students have been idle for more than two months and are now engaging in anti-social vices.
Shima called for a needs assessment of polytechnics and colleges of education as was done for universities to ascertain the level of decay in those institutions.
“This may also stop unions in those institutions from embarking on their own strike,” he said.
NANS appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan to not delay in filling the vacancy of Minister of education as there are many urgent needs in the ministry requiring attention.
The association urged Jonathan to appoint someone with competence and understanding of the challenges in the sector.
Miss New York crowned 2014 Miss America
Nina Davuluri became the first contestant of Indian heritage and the second consecutive contestant from New York to win the Miss America pageant Sunday night.
Davuluri, 24, won the title as the nationally televised pageant returned home to Atlantic City.
She succeeds another Miss New York, Mallory Hagan, whose tenure was cut short when the pageant moved back to Atlantic City after a six-year stint in Las Vegas, where winners were chosen in January.
Davuluri performed a classical Bollywood fusion dance for her talent competition.
Anything can happen in New York. Congrats to her.
It's always sad, when the most beautiful girl doesn't win it. Nigerian beauty pageant organizers should take notice. Just because you host it doesn't mean you must win it or because one of the judges likes you. Give it to the best contestant. Period.
BBM for Android and iPhone release date confirmed
Sometime ago I wrote a piece titled: BB Messenger for Android hits Samsung Galaxy phones first, in Africa,
Well, BlackBerry (former Rim in motion) has now finally set a date for the implementation of this.
It's September 21 for actually the Samsung Galaxy and September 22 for Apple's iPhone.
BBM for Android will get a release date on September 21 and the IM client will come to Apple’s iPhone on September 22.
Read the full report below:
“BBM is a very engaging messaging service that is simple to use, easy to personalize and has an immediacy that is necessary for mobile communications,” said Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President for BBM at BlackBerry.
“With more than a billion Android, iOS, and BlackBerry smartphones in the market, and no dominant mobile messaging platform, this is absolutely the right time to bring BBM to Android and iPhone customers.”
BBM for iPhone and Android will initially include chat, photo and voice note sharing, multi-person chats with up to 30 people, and the ability to post status updates and personal messages. However, BlackBerry says the apps will get BBM Channels in a future updates. Although there's still no word on when it is coming to Windows Phone.
BlackBerry highlighted the following features of BBM inside the release:
BBM Chat – Enjoy real, immediate conversations with friends on Android, iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones. Not only does BBM let you know that your message has been delivered and read, it also shows you that your friend is responding to the message.
More than chat – With BBM you can share files on your phone such as photos and voice notes, all in an instant.
Keep your group in the loop – Multi-person chats are a great way to invite contacts to chat together. BBM Groups lets you invite up to 30 friends to chat together, and go a step further than multi-chat by sharing photos and schedules. And, with Broadcast Message, you can send a message out to all your BBM contacts at once.
Post Updates and stay in the know – BBM lets you post a personal message, profile picture and your current status, and lets your contacts know instantly in Updates.
Your unique PIN – Every BBM user has a unique PIN that maintains your privacy, so you don’t have to give out your phone number or email address to a new or casual contact.

How many woman does he have with children again?
PDA should not stop just in dating, it should continue in marriage if the marriage is to last a life time.
Most men enjoy this, sadly most women don't. They do during dating but after one or two kids in marriage, they don't. Men in love enjoy it through out.
Look what giving up drink (wine)
week 3 and week 4
We all worry about the effect an extra glass of wine has on our waistline — but what about on our skin?
To find out if ditching alcohol can improve your complexion, we challenged Laura Hogarth, a 40-year-old mother-of-two from Falkirk, to spend a month without consuming a drop of booze.
Before this, Laura drank about 15 units of alcohol a week — which equates to around five large glasses of wine and is just one unit a week above the recommended national guidelines for women.
Week One
Laura says: ‘Urgh, this picture looks horrific. I look awful. My skin is red and flushed, all the way down my decolletage. My forehead and nose are shiny and there are rough, dry patches across my cheeks.
‘More worryingly, I don’t remember thinking my skin actually looked this bad.
It can take weeks of no drinking for the blood vessels to constrict fully and redness to disappear altogether.
‘If you drink regularly over a number of years — and especially in larger quantities — small peripheral veins can become permanently enlarged after being repetitively expanded, causing thread veins and permanent skin damage.’
Week two
Laura says: ‘What a miracle! I’m sleeping for longer in the mornings and getting up less frequently during the night.
‘Before, I might have woken up once or twice — whether I’d had a drink or not — but now I am sleeping like a baby. It might have helped that it was also the school holidays, so the children were sleeping in as well, but I am definitely waking up feeling brighter and more alert.
‘I’ve also noticed that in the evenings I’m not snacking as much. Normally I’d crave crisps with my usual glass of wine, but sipping a glass of lime and soda means I don’t feel like junk food. The urge just isn’t there
'The spider veins remain on her lips and nose, but these might take longer to go, if at all. Facial puffiness is caused by the gentle leakage of fluid from enlarged blood vessels.
‘During the night, when we lie flat for a number of hours, this fluid tends to accumulate around our eye-lids and cheeks.
'This is because lying down helps gravity push it in that direction, but also because this is where the skin is loosest and therefore has the most room to accommodate excess fluid.
‘During the day, as we stand up and move about, the trapped fluids are released back into circulation, so the facial swelling reduces.
'After a period of time without alcohol, our blood vessels constrict, so less fluid will accumulate in the first place and skin will look less swollen after a night’s rest.’
Week three
Laura says: ‘By now I’m noticing a difference in my skin’s dryness, and not just on my face.
'It sounds unpleasant, but when I used to take off leggings or trousers I often noticed dry flakes of skin left behind. Now there’s hardly anything.
‘Equally the backs of my hands are looking less dry and — unless I’m imagining it — marginally less wrinkly.
‘When my mother visited this week, she said how less blotchy I was looking — success! A friend also said my skin tone looked more even.
‘Euan and I have noticed less of a difference day-by-day. That’s probably because it’s such a gradual change, but friends and family are noticing the improvement in my appearance which has given me a real thrill.
‘This has made me feel braver and more confident.
Dr Lowe says: ‘There’s a significant reduction in facial redness, even around Laura’s nose and lips. She looks healthier, less puffy and slimmer, especially around her cheeks and jowls.
‘Stopping drinking alcohol means you reduce your calorie intake. There are up to 185 calories in a large glass of wine.
'Not only that, alcohol has the secondary effect of stimulating appetite, so I’m not surprised Laura isn’t snacking as much.
‘Drinking alcohol also makes the skin dry because increased blood flow though the skin speeds everything up and stimulates skin cells to renew and shed quicker.
‘Studies have shown high levels of alcohol consumption can also exacerbate dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and facial eczema.’
Week four
Laura says: ‘While Euan hasn’t noticed my mood changing, by week four I’m feeling invigorated and so much better in myself.
‘I’m getting fewer headaches and have much more energy. My lips are less dry, too — I usually get a cold sore almost every week — but since ditching the booze not a single one has appeared.
‘Better still, I’ve lost 3lb and my face definitely looks slimmer. I have to admit, it’s been far easier to abstain from alcohol than I’d feared. I said no to a few barbecues, just in case I was tempted, but I’ve enjoyed feeling healthier and brighter, especially in the mornings.
‘On the whole, the month has sailed by. I’m going to try and stick to the no drinking rule — or at least cut out alcohol during the week.
'I’ve only had one major lapse since the end of my booze-free month. It was the very first night after the experiment and I went out with a group of friends to celebrate.
‘We drank far too much, and guess what? When I woke in the morning I looked red as anything and noticed a small dry patch of skin had re-emerged. It just goes to show alcohol does a lot worse than just give you a hangover!’
Dr Lowe says: ‘Although the changes between the final two weeks are subtler, this last photo shows a much improved Laura.
'Her eyes are more open and brighter. This, again, is because of the increased blood flow caused by alcohol. If more blood passes through the eye’s surface, it looks duller and more bloodshot.
‘After four weeks without alcohol, the blood vessels have constricted and her eyes are bright white once more.
'By now the redness across her cheeks and neck has vastly diminished and the thread veins around her nose have largely disappeared.
‘This is a classic example of what I’d hope to see for someone who has given up alcohol — and if she sticks to it, she’ll only feel and look even better.’
Alcohol does do more harm to the skin than just a hang over.
King Mswati III of Swaziland to marry 14th wife.
AFP is reporting that, Swaziland's King Mswati III has chosen an 18-year-old beauty pageant contestant as his 14th wife, a palace spokesman said Tuesday, days before a much-criticised parliamentary vote.
"I can confirm that the king has introduced to the nation a new liphovela (royal fiancee)," said Ludzidzini palace governor Timothy Mtetwa.
Mswati, a 45-year-old who is sub-Saharan Africa's last absolute monarch, introduced Sindiswa Dlamini at a Reed Dance celebration over the weekend.
She wore red feathers on her head -- a sign of royalty.
The young woman graduated from Mbabane's St. Francis High School last year and is a finalist in the Miss Cultural Heritage beauty pageant. The winner will be announced on September 28. (Well I guess she has won)
The king has come under fire for his household's lavish lifestyle while the tiny mountain kingdom's 1.2 million people struggle to make a living.
Mswati reportedly has a personal fortune of around $200 million (152 euros) and the UN estimates that 70 percent of his 1.2 million subjects live below the poverty line.
He has steadfastly resisted reforms.

Whitney Houston's
It’s been claimed that a police officer disturbed the scene of Whitney Houston's death by moving a sheet which covered the dead singer's naked body to comment on how good she still looked.
Mailonline reported that Beverly Hill police sergeant Terry Nutall 'knelt beside and leaned over' the singer, and removed the sheet from her body to an area below her pubic region before making inappropriate comments, it is alleged.
The accusations are detailed in a claim filed by former Beverly Hills SWAT supervisor Brian Weir
He claims that after a sheet was placed over Ms Houston's body, Nutall arrived on the scene and with 'no legitimate law enforcement inquiry, investigative, or other proper and legal purpose' removed the sheet.
Weir states that Nutall was nearly touching the singer’s body, and then commented that she looked attractive for her age and state, adding: 'Damn, she’s still looking good, huh?’
Weir said he reported the alleged misconduct and as a result was removed from his position as head of the SWAT team.
Beverly Hills Police Lt. Lincoln Hoshino told NBC he disputed the claim and was unaware of any lawsuit by Weir.
He said Nutall was the detective division sergeant on duty and that because he was near the scene it was correct for him to respond. He added that he was not aware of any inappropriate behaviour or comments, saying that the department stood behind the investigation 100 per cent.
Houston was found dead on 11 February last year in a Beverly Hills hotel bath. She was 48.
