If you like Bugatti cars and just happen to have $ 745,680 just sitting around your savings account you could check out this Bugatti EB 110 (the name comes from Ettore Bugatti’s 110th birthday) that Formula 1 returnee Michael Schumacher is selling off on JamesList.
The 715hp SS version (Super Sport or Sport Stradale) was produced in just 33 units and this specific Bugatti has only 2875 miles on it.
Herr Schumacher must be easily bored by the toys he keeps in his garages, because last year he got rid off two Ducati motorcycles, a Ducati Desmosedici RR (a road legal MotoGP bike) and a Hypermotard.
Eco Factor: Road covering for rural roads to generate renewable solar energy.
The Solar Arch by industrial designer Tyson Steele is a concept covering for rural roads that can generate renewable solar energy for off-grid highway lighting. The Solar Arch can also supplement electricity demands in neighboring areas.
Apart from generating renewable energy, the Solar Arch can also reduce icing in winter and keep the roads cool during summer. The arch design is in compliance with AASHTO Standards for US interstate bridges and passageways. The arch has a ground clearance of over 18 feet and has a width of 40 feet with each section 10 feet long.
Variations of the design include a longer version with lined troughs on each side so topsoil can be packed into the outer supports, increasing its insulation properties and reducing its visibility in naturally pristine areas.
While over-the-counter medications and other home remedy-type treatments can be effective in treating the symptoms of candida, in order to treat the source and kill off candida overgrowth it is important to focus on nutrition. All of the remedies in the world can help very little unless you limit yeast-feeding sugar and flour and focus on whole foods.
Everyone knows the junk-food vegetarian. The one who chooses not to eat meat for health reasons or due to personal beliefs, yet continues to fill up on chips, cookies, and other processed foods. Typically, these types of vegetarians are in dire need of quality nutrients-particularly protein-to keep their bodies functioning well.
For vegetarians and vegans, it can be challenging to meet the protein needs the candida diet recommends. Protein keeps the blood sugar regulated, which helps prevent sugar spikes and an increase in yeast production. Although the obvious meat sources for protein are out, there are plenty of non-meat options to enjoy. Nut butters, fish, beans, soy and dairy products are all good protein sources that add excellent variety and flavor to your diet.
As you strive to kill the yeast overgrowth with each and every meal, you want to make low-glycemic vegetables an accompaniment to the protein in your meals. Some good selections in vegetables include: leafy green vegetables, cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli and peppers. Avoid starchy veggies like potatoes and corn, which convert to sugar in your system when you eat them.
While it may take some extra effort and creativity for a vegetarian to stick to the candida diet, it is absolutely possible. As always, keeping your focus on the great things you can eat, instead of on the foods you need to avoid, will help to create a much more pleasant dieting experience.
Planning meals in advance and keeping the kitchen stocked with vegetarian, candida-friendly fare are additional great ways to stay on track and set yourself up for success. The more creative you get with your menu, the less likely you will fall into boredom in your candida diet. Strive to try at least one new recipe a week.
A quick search online will provide many great low-sugar, no-flour recipes. But let’s get started here with a few candida recipes for the vegetarian:
Vegetable Quinoa
Ingredients:
1 cup Quinoa
¼ cup Sugar-Free Marinara Sauce
2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
½ Onion, Diced
2 Carrots, Diced
1 Green or Yellow Pepper, Diced
½ Head of Cabbage, Red or White, Chopped
2 Yellow Squash, Sliced
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
Pepper to Taste
Add quinoa to a large pot on medium heat. Toast the quinoa in the dry pan until you hear a popping sound. Stir it well to make sure it toasts evenly and to avoid burning. When golden, add 3 cups of water and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes. In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and then the carrot and red cabbage. Sautee for 5 minutes and then add the pepper and squash. After the quinoa has simmered for 15 minutes, add the marinara sauce. When the quinoa is fully cooked with no liquid remaining, add vegetables and pepper and heat until warmed throughout.
Balsamic Marinated Grilled Salmon with Crispy Asparagus
Ingredients:
Salmon Filets or Steaks
Balsamic Vinegar
Fresh or Dried Dill
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Bunch of Asparagus
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Prepare the grill with oil and heat. Season salmon by sprinkling generously with salt and vinegar. Chop dill and combine with olive oil to make a paste and then cover the salmon with the mixture, allowing it to sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Grill the salmon approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until the fish turns opaque. Meanwhile, break off the tough ends of the asparagus and place on a broiler rack or pan. Sprinkle with Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil. Broil until the cheese begins to brown and asparagus is slightly crispy.
Nut Butter Sandwich
Ingredients:
1-2 Slices of sprouted grain, no yeast/sugar bread-such as Ezekiel 4:9 Bread, toasted
Sugar free, natural nut butter-such as almond, cashew, macadamia or peanut butter
Serve with some sliced veggies, an apple, and even a cheese stick and you have a well-balanced meal.
What sort of vegetables can I put into a vegetarian Korma?
I recently found a delicious korma sauce that comes jarred. We’re vegetarians, so adding meat is out. But I’m uncertain of what vegetables would be good in it. What I was thinking was to cook cubed potatoes, small carrots, and peppers in the Korma sauce and spread it over rice. Does that sound okay? I’ve never actually had Korma, but my husband has, so I’m a wee bit clueless. Any advice welcomed~
you can put in a number of veggies such as diced carrots, stir fry and put in cauliflower for better taste, runner beans (french beans), cubed cottage cheese (indian panner) green peppers, potatoes.
You dont need to stick to the traditional kormas ony try and see corn korma or dhingri muttar korma the recipe can be found at

On what is said to be US market’s strongest rebound for the year, banking giants J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America led the nation’s rally to the top of the boards. Modest gains were registered Friday after the ongoing Euro-zone economic predicament, with Greece’s economy in dire need of aid.
Although European Union led by developed and rich countries like France, United Kingdom and Germany have extended millions and trillions of bailout shares, investors still doubt if the region could pull back their market’s usual domination.
Before bouncing back last Friday, US market stocks sink terribly just the preceding day (Thursday). A lot of the players experienced slumped in market shares and value. However, with sudden shift of trust primarily due to unstable economic sustainability of Europe, investors cling to US for possibility of growth.
Financial upward surge were experienced greatly by banks and institutions which directly deal with money, like insurance.
And odd as it may seem, US market’s better shape at the moment was triggered by a fall in the other side of the world. The abrupt shifts of gains and losses in the stock market are dictated by who can be trusted at a given point in time.
This bamboo house has been designed by architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe of Benjamin Garcia Saxe Architecture for his mother, who always kept dreaming of a place that she could call home. After becoming transfixed with the moon and the sun, she inspired her son to build a permanent bamboo house with a cone-shaped “umbrella roof” that opens to reveal the natural elements.
The house is composed of two separate modules – a kitchen/living area and a bedroom space. The bamboo house inverts the role of the forest by bringing it inside, hence meeting the needs of the architect’s mother in providing her with a permanent dwelling which retains an intimate relationship with the natural environment.
Looking for a variety on spending your well-deserved breaks from the professional arena? How would you love a night spent under the roof of bare sheets of dark sky with gleaming cluster of stars; with the sound of horse’s hooves touching base with pavement whiles watching ferry cruise along the pristine waters. If this is the kind of getaway you will truly enjoy, Makinac island is where you should be heading in the next couple of hours.
The island is located in Lake Huron still in state of Michigan. It is known for its rich history and “all natural” theme parks. Two of the most popular means of transportation in the island are horse-drawn carriages and bicycles.
Wide and well-preserved century-old verandas are perfect spots to relive the fun in storytelling. It is also a marvel for couples to braze through the fine sand along the shore and share deep thoughts under the moonlight. And unlike any islands, Makinac is open all year long and have amenities that you can enjoy in any given season.
With the island’s almost untouched beauty and natural wonders, you and your family will surely have the vacation of your life. Not to mention that this is within the United States territory and cost-friendly hotels and activities you can engage in.
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has finally approved Google’s pending acquisition of AdMob, a mobile advertising startup. The web giant offered $750 million for the company, but the sale has been on hold as the FTC investigated whether the move would hurt competition in the emerging sector. Ironically, it was Apple’s moves in the mobile advertising market that ensured regulators that Google would not be in a dominating position.

Pasco Columbia Basin College in Pasco is sharing in a five-year, $2.5 million grant aimed at helping under-represented students earn four-year degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
The college is getting $275,000 to provide support such as academic workshops, counseling and advising and help with internships and scholarships through the Washington MESA Community College Program. (MESA stands for mathematics engineering science achievement).
The program was announced during a news conference this morning. CBC is one of four community colleges in the state participating.
This really moves us forward to make sure theres an easier path for students hoping to transfer to four-year institutions, said Martin Valadez, CBC vice president for diversity and outreach.
The grant is being paid for by the National Science Foundation and administered by the University of Washington. Three other community colleges in the state also are participating Highline, Seattle Central and Yakima Valley.
CBC leaders said the program will help under-represented students such as those from low-income families face greater barriers when it comes to education, officials said. The extra support will help make a four-year degree in a STEM field more assessable, leaders said.
We remain dedicated to the idea of science and technology (endeavors) for our community. We want to make sure we bring everyone along. Were very excited about this new grant, said CBC President Rich Cummins.
There also is great demand for people trained in STEM fields in the Tri-City area and beyond, leaders said.
At CBC, about 250 students will be served by the program over five years, said Gabriela Whitemarsh, director.
Theyll be able to attend workshops, orientation and take advantage of counseling and advising to ensure theyre on track, she said.

Solar scientists are finally overcoming their fears and going public about the Sun-climate connection
Four years ago, when I first started profiling scientists who were global warming skeptics, I soon learned two things: Solar scientists were overwhelmingly skeptical that humans caused climate change and, overwhelmingly, they were reluctant to go public with their views. Often, they refused to be quoted at all, saying they feared for their funding, or they feared other recriminations from climate scientists in the doomsayer camp. When the skeptics agreed to be quoted at all, they often hedged their statements, to give themselves wiggle room if accused of being a global warming denier. Scant few were outspoken about their skepticism.
No longer.
Scientists, and especially solar scientists, are becoming assertive. Maybe their newfound confidence stems from the Climategate emails, which cast doomsayer-scientists as frauds and diminished their standing within academia. Maybe their confidence stems from the avalanche of errors recently found in the reports of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, destroying its reputation as a gold standard in climate science. Maybe the solar scientists are becoming assertive because the public no longer buys the doomsayer thesis, as seen in public opinion polls throughout the developed world. Whatever it was, solar scientists are increasingly conveying a clear message on the chief cause of climate change: It’s the Sun, Stupid.
Jeff Kuhn, a rising star at the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy, is one of the most recent scientists to go public, revealing in press releases this month that solar scientists worldwide are on a mission to show that the Sun drives Earth’s climate. “As a scientist who knows the data, I simply can’t accept [the claim that man plays a dominant role in Earth’s climate],” he states.
Contrary to beliefs that patients suffering from heart ailments should stop or minimize having sexual encounters with their spouse or partners because of the sudden gush of emotion that may result to heart attacks, experts now encourage the sufferers to engage more into sex to improve their condition.
Straight from Washington DC, The American Heart Association revealed that it is safe for a patient to engage into sex soon after he or she feels better and can do moderate and frequent exercise.
The risks of having seizure after attacks were very minimal according to a speaker from a conference. Going back to normal sex life is still possible. Another doctor said that if you can walk up to two floors of your apartment back and forth, then it’s okay for you to have sex.
Charity ward cardiac nurse, Cathy Ross added that patients get too scared to have sex because of the probability to again physically exhaust themselves, causing another heart attack. But this is very unlikely according to her. Sometimes, depression and deprivation bring more risks than engaging in physical activities such as this.
Often, patients are misguided by published readings that have no medical basis at all and the sole intention is just to create the fear factor.
Eco Factor: Eco-friendly public toilet concept harnesses energy and water.
The ZESS Public Toilet concept by Belgian design house Bundl has been designed as a standalone autonomous public toilet unit that generates all the energy and water it needs from natural resources. The innovative and prominent toilet tries to improve the street scene.
The ZESS toilet includes a rooftop solar panel that generates electricity needed to illuminate the toilet after dark. Moreover, rainwater is harvested and stored for use inside the toilet.
You are beginning to like forex trading. You have read every article you can find. You enjoy doing the research, developing your plan and choosing your target currencies. You are comfortable with your forex broker and his trading system. You are gaining valuable experience each day, but for some reason, you are still having difficulty pulling the trigger, perhaps more on sell signals than on buys, but the chatter in your brain is distracting. How do I deal with this kind of pressure?
First of all, let’s assume that you have done the basics. You always have a defined and disciplined plan of attack when you approach any market. You do not let yourself get “emotionally married” to any position or pattern that beckons you to stick with it. And, you have learned how to manage your greed and balance it with caution, never backing yourself into a vulnerable position that is difficult to unwind. Now what do you do?
The issue now is all about calming the mind, allowing your experiential programming to take over with the good judgment that you have developed, and then reaping the results. There have been many studies in this area, particularly with professional athletes, so why no let them be your guide.
I am a golfer. You never beat golf. You may get better or worse, but the mental aspects of the game are a mirror image of what an individual trader must deal with in order to be successful. Coincidentally, in order to perform, an athlete or trader must be able to shift his focus from distractions and concentrate on the moment at hand.
Watch professional golfers on television, particularly when they are putting. One putt per round is all that separates them from the minor leagues, so the pressure is intense to putt well. To deal with this pressure, every Pro has developed his own personal putting routine, i.e., line up the putt, take two practice strokes, look at the cup, and then putt. They practice this routine ad nauseum so that it becomes second nature and requires no thought to invoke it. Then, when the real pressure is on, they do not succumb to any distraction, feeling of doubt or anxious second-guessing.
As a trader, we face similar situations that require quick and nearly automatic responses. Our emotional thoughts do affect our physiology, and therefore, our ability to perform on the spot. Even neutral thoughts can be a distraction unto themselves. The more we can develop a “trading routine”, the more dispassionate we can be when we have to execute a Buy or Sell transaction. The more practiced your routine, the more confident you will feel. You will know with certainty what to expect, and performance will become effortless, nearly always exceeding your own high expectations.
So, develop your own personalized practice trading routine. Lay out the logical decision steps and repeat them until they flow effortlessly. Remember that pressure and anxiety can be motivators, but if they are distractions, they must be dealt with accordingly.
Watches, movies, poems and paintings… a lot of people think that the harder any one of these things are to understand, then the better they are. We’ve certainly covered some intentionally-obscure watches here at Gizmag before, with everything from a row of LEDs to numbers on a sphere to dots that get filled in and stained glass-like patterns used to display the time. Now, Japanese weird-watch-maker EleeNo brings us one that displays the hours, minutes and seconds on a climbing line graph…
