Great American Cars: The New Legend X Mustang

This is no ordinary Ford Mustang. Tuned by Temple Performance Cars, the Legend X Mustang distinguishes itself from the crowd with a 650 bhp, 5.0L SOHC Stroker engine with Forged Internals with a Kenne Bell 2.6L Supercharger!

This brute is available in
dual Shelby style stripes and rocker stripes to complement Ford factory accent colors. It is a Mustang that tames the wildest curves. But, above all, a Mustang that does everything and is refined enough for everyday driving.

Meanwhile at the Pearly Gates ....

God remembers.

Ode to the Big Butt Bitch

Welcome to Connecticut

He..liu , this is Duck speeeaking!

Ring. Ring......... He..liuu , this is Duck speeeaking!
It's so fake that it makes one wonder how he has the audacity to do it.
Does he not realized that it is now a joke behind his butt?

As one ex colleague puts it, he is an idiot.
The only thing he did right was to hire him. LOL.

Watch your daughter's language

There is No Secret in this business

Sometimes it hurts to know the truth about how much people know about you.

Three "Bugs" that Microsoft cannot explain

BUG #1

An Indian found that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the Computer which can be named as “CON”. This is something funny and inexplicable… At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn’t answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE A “CON” FOLDER

BUG #2

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type “Bush hid the facts” (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

Noticed the weird bug? No one can explain!

BUG #3

Again this is something funny and can’t be explained… At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn’t answer why this happened!

It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself…

Open Microsoft Word and type

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER
And see the magic…..!

Inner Mongolia (Nei Mongol)

Inner Mongolia (Nei Mongol as it is known as in Chinese) is always confused with Mongolia. Inner Mongolia is a Chinese province while Mongolia is a democratic republic on its own. As part of China, the Inner Mongolians speak Putonghua whereas in Mongolia, the people do not speak the language. However, the Mongolian language is widely spoken in both places but with a different accent. Hohhot, a city where the old and the new mixes, is the capital of Inner Mongolia.

Photographs that touch the heart

We must always be thankful to God for giving us a healthy body, roof over our head, education for our children, food on the table where in many parts of the world these are just uncertainties.

Photo 1: Together, through Warm and Cold

(Photographer: An Hejie. Place: Market Place, Town of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia)
Beyond the northern ( Inner Mongolia) frontier, spring has arrived but the Cold weather lingered on. Snow fell on this April morning. Flakes danced In the sky. A middle-aged man tended to his cart, on which sat a little Boy, wrapped up with blanket used to keep the vegetables from freezing. From time to time, the father would tuck at the blanket to make sure that His son was all right. These are the words from the photographer: “Set in the dark and shadowy background and the dancing snow flakes, the pink Puffy face of the little boy stood out in great contrast to that of the father which was apparently shaped by the caprices of life. And life was Indeed harsh. Father and son only have each other for support. When the Father yelled out a sales pitch on top of his voice, his facial expression Was shockingly touching. One cannot help but be moved.”

Photo 2: Love

The father and his son live in an impoverished hilly area. They demand nothing but a piece of land to call their own. Perhaps they will not have a chance to see the outside world all their lives — they will not know what a staircase is, they will never ride in a taxi, nor will they ever step into a movie theater. But the truth is these are the people who offer us everything our lives depend on, generation after generation. The heaven and earth have nothing to repay them. Love them!

Photo 3: Grandpas’ Tears

(Caption on the photo: That day, we found that we were able to attend school. We were so happy. But grandpa cried. Do you understand? The tears of an elderly man…) This semester has been dealt with, what about the next?

Photo 4: Amidst Rain and Wind

Your elderly mother and little children are waiting for you to come home with the day’s wages.

Photo 5: Old Man Crying

The old man sells roast yam for a living. Because he doesn’t have a license, his tools were confiscated and his tricycle was smashed, its chain cut. All the old man can do is to sit there and cry. How is his tomorrow?

Photo 6: Mothers’ Love

For mothers and their children. This is life.

Photo 7: Coal Carrier

Wang Zhizhong worked as a coal carrier. Carrying a basket of coal weighting 40kg (88 lb), he made his way up a 100m deep mine, and then walked a distance of 1000m along a mountainous track. For each trip, he made 1RMB (0.125 USD). He was 17.

Photo 8: I want to go to school

Caption on the photo: That day the English teacher arrived in our village. She taught us our very first sentence in English: “I want go to school.” Did you hear it? It is a most heart-moving cry.

Photo 9: Care for those forgotten

We must admit that there are people still living within the blind spot of our society. What if you were one of them?

Photo 10: Spirit to live

No rose, no diamond ring, but if this is not love, what is love? With enthusiasm, love your life! Love the people around you!

Can this be for real?


This is how close you get to landing at the Princess Juliana Airport in Sint Marteen (St Martin) Island in the Atlantic Ocean.

Very true

Demotivational Poster: Privacy

The Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea

If Dr. Evil was a real person, he would need a real hideout, and that real hideout may very well be The Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea.

The giant dark monolith is 1,082 feet tall, has 105 floors, yet it is completely empty without a single window.

The Ryugong Hotel must be "the single most unsettling structure ever erected by the hand of man".

One question that pops up often is, why does Ryugyong Hotel exist in the first place? Certainly it is not to meet North Korea's mounting tourist demand. The hotel was designed to have 3,000 rooms, yet if every single Pyongyang area visitor booked a weeklong stay, the hotel would still be hanging a vacancy sign on the front door.

So why did North Korea build this not-so-secret-hideout-type structure? We think it's gotta be national pride.

Unfortunately, it looks like national pride has gone terribly wrong. The North Korean's started this project back in 1987 and have spent around $750 million or 2% of the country's GDP on the Ryugyong Hotel.

Great American Cars: The GMC Yukon Denali

GMC Yukon Denali

A Hummer or a Cadillac Escalade? Nah? The GMC Yukon Denali exhibits a true sense of what it means to wear the badge, "Professional Grade." It is probably the meanest and most luxurious 4WD available in today's full size SUV market. Chevrolet has a version called the Tahoe.

Powered by a 6.2 liter V8, the Yukon generates 380 bhp and sits nine people. Unlike its lower range siblings, the Denali is a full time 4WD and cannot be equipped with a lower range transfer case.

GMC has just launched a Hybrid version of Yukon. Hybrid technology optimizes fuel economy for various driving conditions. In the Yukon Hybrid, there is a 25% improvement with the performance. capability and comfort of a full-size SUV.
