Swastika as a symbol of luck was widely used long before WWII. It was Nazis who made it a taboo. I’ve made a collection of pictures illustrating pre-WWII uses of Swastika. You may be surprised where and how widely it was used. Let the pictures speak for themselves.
Twenty million dollars. Say it with me…twenty…million…dollars. Wow. They must have seen this guy coming a mile away.
The hard-to-believe story started started in 2004 when moneyed pianist Roger Davidson asked Mount Kisco computer store owners Vickram Bedi, 36, and his Icelandic girlfriend Helga Invarsdottir, 39, to rid his computer of a virus. On learning of Davidson’s wealth, the pair are alleged to have concocted an elaborate social engineering scam that defrauded him of somewhere between the $6 million the police have been able to confirm with an upper figure of as much as $20 million.
Spanning almost a foot from stem to stern, this is the only remote controlled Millennium Falcon from the classic Star Wars series. Two counter-rotating rotors built into the hull provide vertical movement that evokes the nimble hovering of the iconic spaceship as it prepared for interstellar flights, operating like a helicopter. The craft can move forward, backward and sideways, controlled from up to 30′ with the three-channel remote. Trim controls on the remote enables precise rotor tuning for stable, level flights.
This inverted bumbershoot forms a waterproof cocoon around a small dog, enabling canine and master to maintain a walking regimen in inclement weather. The umbrella’s 29″ diameter canopy is made from 8-gauge clear polypropylene that sheds rain, sleet, and snow while allowing an unfettered view of your walking companion.
Not only does the umbrella eliminate the excuse “it’s too wet for a walk” from a dog owner’s lexicon (to the delight of most canines and the amusement of most spouses), it prevents moisture from getting spread throughout the home, along with the unpleasant scent of a wet dog. The tip of the umbrella hooks to your pet’s leash to keep it from straying beyond its protective canopy.
For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. To add variety in his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Haub munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos, too.
His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most — not the nutritional value of the food. The premise held up: On his “convenience store diet,” he shed 27 pounds in two months.
