Yes, this is the entrance to Barber Motorsports Park. Fortunately
they don't discriminate against happy-go-lucky idiots who love
riding motorcycles. The Professor and Chris demonstrate.
The entrance road to Barber Motorsports Park. George Barber sure
knows how to build 'em.
Outside the Barber Museum; at first, it looks somewhat odd. Then
very, very cool.
The Barber Museum, or as Chris likes to believe, his winning
Mega-Millions ticket house.
Come on in, it's a museum. No really, it is. Now use the Van Gogh
to wipe your feet, because the real artwork is straight ahead.
And to our left, vintage racers worth more than a house.
When you have this many, you store them like matchbox cars. Only
these are full sized, mint, and incredible.
The Vincent Black Shadow. If you have to ask, try Google.
Onboard the first true Hayabusa, aka the Black Shadow.
Vintage military motorcycles, looking like they're fresh off the
showroom floor. Professor Ted says he tried several times, but
the guns don't fire.
What, no tassles?
Hey, George Barber stacks his bikes on a Christmas tree just like
you do. Or not.
BMW should make this TODAY.
Professor Ted trying to look innocent after being asked twice by
security to stop trying to start the F1 car.
Unobtainable Bimota bodywork? Let's hang it from the ceiling,
shall we?
John Surtees, the only man ever to win both Moto GP and F1
championships. Wouldn't mind seeing a Rossi display down the
road...
Much to the dismay of the other patrons, Professor Ted sounds
just like a KZ1000R.
There's not a bike here we don't salivate over. Forget Pavlov's
dog, just thumb a starter.
Ducati Hailwood = Cool. Every single time.
Hailwood makes Chris weepy and nostalgic.
Onboard with Hailwood. Have fun lapping the Isle.
Back when Biaggi was a great rider without an annoying ego,
Aprilia built a replica of his championship 250 GP bike.
The Bimota V-Due. If it could talk, it would say "Hi - I'm going
to bankrupt a factory while never running quite right. What are
you up to?"
Still salivating.
The greatest purpose-built motorcycle ever, the Britten V1000.
Explore its history, it truly is one of a kind.
Here's a game for you. Find the parts that weren't meticulously
hand built to engineering perfection.
Onboard the Britten.
Paul Smart replica, anyone?
That's the guy that started it all.....GET HIM!
Absolutely right.
Why deal with the overzealous security guards at Daytona when you
can build your own banking?
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty
Bang Bang I love you...
Apparently Miguel's dad used to ride a little bit too...
Supermono. Like regular mono, only better.
Onboard the Supermono. Ohlins, Brembo, magnesium and carbon
fiber....Mmmm...yummy
The Honda NR750. Oval pistons, gear driven cams, and sensible
mirrors.
In case you were wondering why they built it.
Nice tail.
Onboard the NR750.
Grab your leather cap and check out the vintage bikes.
Board track racing. These were brave individuals indeed...
There is no way to include every excellent vehicle displayed at
the Barber Museum on this little web page; if you're an
enthusiast, we highly recommend going to Birmingham Alabama and
checking it out!

London's Tower Bridge Under Construction
Posted by: "Deepak Punjabi" indigoblue2005@yahoo.com indigoblue2005
Wed Nov 30, 2011 4:40 am (PST)
Stripped down as you've never seen her: Pictures of Tower Bridge during construction found dumped in a skip
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 5:01 PM on 29th November 2011
This is one of the London's most beloved landmarks as you've never seen her before.
Stripped
down to her underwear, the never before seen pictures of Tower Bridge -
one of the world's most recognisable structures - have been unveiled
after the stash of hundred-year-old prints were found in a skip.
Coinciding
with the 125th anniversary of the bridge's foundation, the 50 sepia
photos reveal in incredible detail the ingenuity behind one of the
capital's most popular tourist destinations, which was the first bridge
of its kind in the world.
Never seen before: The pictures of London's
Tower Bridge were found in a skip and then wrapped up in brown paper and
put in a carrier bag under a bed
The unique
pictures, dating back to 1892, document the construction the iconic
bridge, which at the time was a landmark feat of engineering nicknamed
'The Wonder Bridge'.
The
discarded pictures, which were retrieved by a caretaker who was looking
after a building being turned into flats in 2006, have spent the last
five years in a carrier bag underneath his bed.
The 59-year-old, who
wishes to remain anonymous, said that after the occupants of the
Westminster office building moved out, the album and a number of
documents were thrown into a skip outside.
He said: 'I took the ledgers to the Tower Bridge Museum because I thought they might have some historical value.
Remarkable find: The prints reveal in incredible
detail the ingenuity behind one of the capital's most popular tourist
attractions and how it was put together
A view of the bridge: The sturdy steel frame of
Tower Bridge can be seen, before it was covered with its distinctive
stone-cladding on the orders of architect John Wolfe-Barry
'They included records of the materials and used in the bridge's construction and what they cost.
'I told the man at the museum that I had also found some photos but he told me they already had plenty of those.
'I
didn't know what to do with them so I wrapped them in some brown paper
and put them in a bag under the bed.' It wasn't until earlier this
month, when the owner of the photos mentioned them to his neighbour,
City of Westminster tour guide Peter Berthoud that the significance of
the find fully emerged.
Mr
Berthoud, an expert in the history of London who gives guided tours
around famous landmarks including Tower Bridge, said he was gobsmacked
by the haul.
Stripped down: The photographs show how the
bridge was put together over eight years, revealing why it was nicknamed
at the time the 'Wonder Bridge'
Landmark: Tower Bridge remains one of the
capital's most iconic structures and a tourist attraction today, 125
years after building started
Sepia to silver screen: The incomplete Tower
Bridge features in the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes, where Holmes battles
with his adversary Lord Henry Blackwood
And contrary to popular
misconception, the images reveal the bridge is a sturdy steel frame
beneath the instantly recognisable stone-cladding.
Mr Berthoud said: 'When my neighbour gave me a disk with the images on I just couldn't believe it.
'I
spent hours going through my books to see if these pictures were
already around, but I couldn't see them anywhere - they are totally
unique.
'Quite simply
London Bridge is the world's most iconic bridge, and it's the only
bridge over the Thames which has never needed to be replaced at some
point.
Discovery: Peter Berthoud was gobsmacked when
his neighbour showed him the haul of photos. He spent hours going
through books to find something similar, only to discover they are
totally unique
Transformation: The bridge took eight years to
build and at the time was a landmark feat of engineering, combining
elements of a suspension and high level bridge and a bascule
'It combines elements of a suspension bridge, a high level bridge and a bascule which allows it to open for ships to pass.
'Nothing had ever been made like it before, and nothing since.
'People are always surprised when I tell them Tower Bridge is a steel bridge, as the stone cladding is so recognisable.'
According
to the tour guide, the bridge's original architect, Horace Jones,
wanted to clad the bridge in brick, however, following his death he was
succeeded as architect by John Wolfe-Barry who decreed the bridge should
be clad in stone.
Development: Photos show the progress in the
construction process, from basic structures to something easily
recognisable as Tower Bridge as we know it today
Unique: Many of the 50 sepia prints are in good
condition, despite dating back to 1892. Several are even dated, making
it possible to trace the progress in construction
Although many of the century-old pictures are in a state of disrepair, around 20 are in good condition.Many of the 12 by 10 snaps are dated and clearly show how the bridge was put together over a space of eight years.
Memorable
scenes include turn-of-the-century labourers taking orders from a site
foreman in a bowler hat, and a shot if the bridge's original
steam-powered engine room, which could open the bridge in less than a
minute.
In one poignant
picture flags decorate the body of the bridge and a hand-written pencil
note reads: 'Note, flags denote Mr Hunter's wedding day'.
Mr
Berthoud said: 'My favourite pictures of the simple, humble guys
building the bridge, unaware that what they are making will be so
historic.
'People are
so used to seeing images of the Empire State Building being built, but
this is part of British history being created 50 years earlier.'

Water Babies

Making a splash: Specialist swimming centre opens first pool just for babies
By
Emma Reynolds
Last updated at 8:31 PM on 29th November 2011
They may still be wet behind the
ears, but these water babies are taking to swimming as if it were the
most natural thing in the world.Newborns
are perfectly prepared for an aquatic environment from being in the
womb, according to the owners of the adapted pool in west London.Now, London Baby
Swim is opening the UK's first purpose-built centre solely for the
smallest swimmers from six weeks old, in Wandsworth, south London.
Water baby: A tentative swimmer takes his first strokes at London Baby Swim in Osterley
Embracing the waves: A happy child tries out some new moves at the west London centre
'Nine months in a water
environment means babies are perfectly prepared to swim from birth,'
said Phil Shaw, 51, joint operations director of the company along with
Ana Torres, 36.'Most parents sign their children up for baby swimming because they want them to be safe around water.'Once they start a course, they start to discover the other hidden benefits.'He
said that very young children can gain vital skills for their
development through swimming at an early age - so there is no longer any
excuse for tears at bath-time.
'We are helping babies to make new brain connections and strengthen their learning through exercise and stimulation,' he said.
'Introducing babies to swimming early
improves babies and children's development in many areas - physically,
intellectually, language development, emotionally and socially.
'We are very proud to see not only how much the babies enjoy the classes but how they improve their abilities in the water.'
All I want for Christmas: A festive youngster enjoys the early gift of frolicking underwater
Learning the crawl: Another baby paddles happily in the heated pool
The specially designed 10,000 gallon pool will be heated to a comfortable 33c
and the four-foot deep water will take classes of up to eight babies at a
time.They will learn turns, submersions and floating techniques before they can crawl - on land and in the water.
Special
UV light is currently used at the Osterley centre to keep the water clean and reduce the amount of
chlorine necessary, so the pool is kind to babies' sensitive skin.
Mr Shaw added: 'Babies have a natural ability for swimming, having a different reflex that makes them perfect candidates for swimming.'Healthy
babies are born with extremely sophisticated natural reflexes that
protect them from any harm and are very important as they promote their
survival.'At London Baby Swim we work around these reflexes to turn them into deliberate actions.'
Dummy run: A computer-generated image of how the four-foot pool in Wandsworth will look
Taking the plunge: The first pool of its kind in the UK is bound to be a hit with adventurous babies and parents
He explained how babies'
biological affinity for the water works. 'A babies' gag reflex is
activated when water enters the mouth,' he said.
'Parts
of the throat called the glottis and epiglottis close to prevent water
from entering. This provides a watertight seal to the lungs while your
baby is submerged.
'This is why you often see babies swimming with their mouths open.
'Babies also have what is called "the amphibian reflex". This
is an involuntary movement of their arms, legs and torso, which helps us
to introduce turns, rotations and kicking in our lessons.'Instructors
at London Baby Swim take a five-week induction course - which costs up
to £114 - to ensure they know exactly how to look after babies in the
pool.

Tiger Rug Made of 500,000 Cigarettes..

We're all aware of the lavish furnishing of a bearskin rug, but have you
ever seen a tiger-print rug made out of 500,000 cigarettes? China's
renowned contemporary artist Xu Bing has worked on tobacco-related projects
for over ten years. Bing's works of art, inspired by the nicotine-rich
leaves, began in 2000 at Duke University.
Over a decade later, the imaginative artist is now exhibiting the third and
final installment of his trilogy, known as Tobacco Project. This 440-pound
rug is only one piece of his current series. The entire exhibit explores
global trade, packaging, marketing, and the irony of subliminal seduction
in advertising for a potentially life-threatening product. Bing's work is
running now through December 4, 2011 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
and will be moved to the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield,
Connecticut in January 2012.

The Maori are the native or indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand (Aotearoa - The Long White Cloud). They arrived in New Zealand from eastern Polynesia in several waves at some time before 1300 CE.Over several centuries in isolation, the Maori developed a unique culture with their own language, a rich mythology, distinctive crafts and performing arts. They formed a tribal society based on East Polynesian social customs and organisation. Horticulture flourished using plants they introduced, and after about 1450 a prominent warrior culture emerged.
The Agrodome is one on New Zealand's most loved tourist attractions.
This famous Rotorua attraction features live sheep shearing, 19 breeds of champion rams, cow milking, lamb feeding, dog demonstrations as well as a full New Zealand dog trial.

Hi,

actually enjoying the work we're doing instead.
Here are 8 ways to make work seem like less of a chore and more like a
gift.
