Stoner expecting to battle for victory in Sachsenring

admin — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:54:53 +0000

Chasing a third consecutive victory in 2008, Casey Stoner has confidence in what he and the Ducati Desmosedici GP8 can do at Sachsenring this weekend.

Preparing for his second MotoGP race at the Sachsenring circuit when the World Championship arrives in Germany, Casey Stoner is the man of the moment in the premier class. The current title holder was equally as dominant in practice at last year´s race as he has been over the past two Grands Prix in Donington and Assen, but this season he is looking to also end his weekend on the top step of the podium.

`We feel quite confident for Sachsenring, where we were already competitive last year and it was only an issue with tyre life that prevented us from fighting for victory,´ says the Ducati Marlboro rider, whose 2007 teammate Loris Capirossi gave Bridgestone their first podium at the track. With these facts and his current purple patch in mind, Stoner is relishing the chance to take his own first Sachsenring victory.

`I´m sure this (tyre) problem won’t happen again this year because Bridgestone have not stopped working and they continually bring us great new material. The bike has been perfect for the last two races and I expect it to go well at Sachsenring too,´ proclaims the Australian. (more…)

56 Reasons to Have Sex

admin — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:43:41 +0000

Do the nasty. Knock boots. Bump uglies. Shag. Schtupp. Boff. Boink. For every silly nickname we use for sex, there’s a totally legit reason why you should be having more of it. To prove our point, we’ve pulled together a comprehensive list of the mind-boggling benefits of hitting the sheets. From boosting your immune system to releasing aggression, here are the many ways it pays to play dirty.

1. Shag your guy’s ticker into shape. According to a study at Queens University in Belfast, men who have sex three or more times a week can cut their risk of heart attack in half.

2. According to that same study, regular romps will also halve your man’s chances of suffering a stroke.

3. Work off that Rice Krispies Treat without hitting the treadmill. One 30-minute roll in the hay burns about 200 calories.

4. Avoid going postal at work. Nooky helps the brain produce neurotransmitters, chemical messengers that help mellow our moods.

5. Get more z’s. A little sensual massage followed by some dancing in the sheets releases sleep-inducing endorphins.

6. Wake up and smell the roses. Post-romp, you’ll experience a surge in the hormone prolactin, which develops new neurons in the brain’s olfactory bulb, improving your sense of smell.

7. Unless you’re a kinky, wayward politician, it’s free!

8. Kick colds to the curb. Researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that having sex once or twice a week boosts the immune system by 30 percent.

9. Protect your pearly whites by stepping up to the mic. Semen contains zinc, calcium, and other minerals proven to fight tooth decay. (Only trace amounts, but who’s counting?)

10. Watch a Lost DVD marathon without constant bathroom breaks. Sex tones the pelvic muscles that support your uterus, bladder, and bowel, meaning better pee control.

11. No pain, all gain. Right after your big O, you’ll be practically swimming in oxytocin (we’re talking a seriously intense surge). The overload releases endorphins, which help alleviate pain from arthritis…

12. …and–hallelujah!–menstrual cramps. (more…)

Capirossi ready to take on the ‘Ring’

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:34:58 +0000

Loris Capirossi is ready to make his Rizla Suzuki MotoGP comeback at the Sachsenring circuit in eastern Germany this weekend as he continues his fight-back to full fitness.

Capirossi sustained a large puncture wound in his right arm in an accident at Assen in The Netherlands and was unable to compete in the Dutch TT after Dr Costa and his staff performed an operation to repair the damage. The experienced Italian has worked hard with his own doctors to continue with the healing of the injury and is convinced he is fit enough to return to the GP arena at a circuit that he finished second at last year – a result that is the best finish for Bridgestone at the 3,671m German track. The wound to Capirossi’s arm was the second injury the Italian had suffered in three races, after breaking his right hand at Catalunya. Although that fracture has now fully repaired, the arm injury from Assen is not 100% healed but Capirossi, Suzuki and senior medical staff have all assessed the situation and considered every safety issue before deciding that he is fit to ride.

Chris Vermeulen will be looking to improve on his record in Germany which has seen him score a best-placed finish of seventh from his previous two starts. He suffered from a jump-start in last year’s race, resulting in a ride-through penalty, but he showed good race pace over the remaining laps at the complicated circuit and fought his way back through the field. The Australian is in confident mood that the Sachsenring circuit could be the ideal catalyst to kick-start the second half of the season for the Rizla Suzuki team. (more…)

10 Tips To Healthy Eating

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:26:09 +0000

Experts agree the key to healthy eating is the time-tested advice of balance, variety and moderation. In short, that means eating a wide variety of foods without getting too many calories or too much of any one nutrient. These 10 tips can help you follow that advice while still enjoying the foods you eat.

Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods. You need more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and no single food supplies them all. Your daily food selection should include bread and other whole-grain products; fruits; vegetables; dairy products; and meat, poultry, fish and other protein foods. How much you should eat depends on your calorie needs. Use the Food Guide Pyramid and the Nutrition Facts panel on food labels as handy references.
Enjoy plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Surveys show most Americans don’t eat enough of these foods. Do you eat 6-11 servings from the bread, rice, cereal and pasta group, 3 of which should be whole grains? Do you eat 2-4 servings of fruit and 3-5 servings of vegetables? If you don’t enjoy some of these at first, give them another chance. Look through cookbooks for tasty ways to prepare unfamiliar foods.
Maintain a healthy weight. The weight that’s right for you depends on many factors including your sex, height, age and heredity. Excess body fat increases your chances for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some types of cancer and other illnesses. But being too thin can increase your risk for osteoporosis, menstrual irregularities and other health problems. If you’re constantly losing and regaining weight, a registered dietitian can help you develop sensible eating habits for successful weight management. Regular exercise is also important to maintaining a healthy weight. (more…)

Hamilton dominates home Grand Prix

admin — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:34:16 +0000

The race started at a damp track on Sunday afternoon but soon more rain would fall to make it an interesting race. Ferrari drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa struggled in the wet. Massa spun several times and was the last driver to take the chequered flag. Kimi Raikkonen was way off the pace and had to settle for fourth in the end.

The British Grand Prix became a dream scenario for the British fans as they saw their hero Lewis Hamilton win his home Grand Prix. Hamilton started his race from fourth position but going into turn 1 he was right on Kovalainen’s tail. After following his team mate for a number of laps Hamilton managed to overtake the Finn and took the lead. For the rest of the race Hamilton was unchallenged even though the changing weather conditions could have spoiled his race. (more…)

The Top 7 Overlooked E-bay Success Tips

admin — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:16:24 +0000

Last year alone, millions of people made a profit on e-bay. Some were just selling odds and ends, while some ran huge businesses exclusively on e-bay. The amount of commerce done on the internet is only expected to increase, making prospects for e-bay users bright. You very well may be one of the people who’s discovered the great benefits of making money from e-bay auctions. I myself have been an e-bay user for a little over a year and have had great success with my auctions.

When my friend began her business on e-bay selling high end purses, it started out quite rocky. Her auctions weren’t getting the hits she wanted and usually sold off of one bid, instead of creating the bidding frenzy that beautiful bags like she had should have!

So, she called me up knowing I had been successfully using e-bay for almost a year at the time. She gave me her login information (we’re best friends- she trusts me!) and asked me to check her her sales and current auctions and see if I noticed where the problem was. When I saw her current auctions, alot became obvious!

So, I compiled a list of things that I had used which had made me successful which I suggested she implement into her own auctions. I even revised the auctions she had active at the time. One of those auctions- a gorgeous brown Coach purse- sold for $546.00. She had listed it for $125.00. It was her biggest sale yet and she was thrilled.

The funny thing is, the methods I use are not some internet guru secrets. They are just things I picked up during my time using e-bay, but seem to be overlooked alot of the time. Here are what I have found to be the top 7 overlooked tips for successful e-bay auctions:

How to Make Email Marketing Works for Your Business

Topic 1 ~ Your Email Subject Lines ~

How To Write A Good E-mail Subject Lines That Works?

Here are the 5 tips:

1. Ask a question. One of the best ways to get a reader’s attention is to ask a question. But like a trial lawyer questioning a witness on the stand, make sure it’ll get you the response you’re looking for. “What’s the best way to grow your business?” is a great subject line for business owners. After all, what business owner wouldn’t want to grow his or her business? Or let’s say you run a health club. An e-mail with the subject line, “How can you lose 5 pounds in one month?” would certainly be compelling. It’s important your question be relevant to your audience.

2. Be a tease. A clever subject line can be enticing. When it’s done right, reader curiosity is piqued. They want to know more–and they’ll open your e-mail. Writing a teaser-style subject line requires some creativity, and your content needs to deliver. A company that sells high-definition TVs could use the subject line, “You’re not going to believe your eyes” as a teaser to introduce a new addition to their product line.

3. Tell it like it is. Often, what works best is to say exactly what you want your reader to know. Examples of this straightforward approach are, “Sale on all sweaters this weekend,” “Master jazz pianist plays live this Friday” and “The seven secrets of a profitable business.” This just-the-facts approach works especially well when you can appeal directly to your audience’s interests. It’s also the best approach to use when you send a newsletter.
