World's Largest Swimming Pool [PICS]


World's Largest Swimming PoolAlready drawing the crowds in the South American resort of San Alfonso del Mar in Chile, this artificial lagoon and swimming pool is eight hectares in size and contains an incredible 250,000 cubic meters of water. Acknowledged by Guinness World Records as being the world’s largest swimming pool, the lagoon trounces all other record holders in the category, including the Orthlieb pool in Casablanca, Morocco, itself a huge 150 meters by 100 meters – the San Alfonso pool is 1km in length.

Total Number Of Products Recalled For Lead In 2007 Reaches 16.2 Million

prettypoison.jpgWhile Aquadots grabbed all the news this month, 1,391,800 products were recalled for lead contamination. Most of them were cheap toy jewelry, cars, and action figures. The sort of stuff you see at "dollar stores."

These recalls don't grab the headlines like the Mattel and Thomas & Friends toys do, but aren't the children playing with them just as susceptible to lead poisoning?

Among the recalled products were pencil pouches that were distributed in schools and a bracelet used in school fund raisers.

Lots of jewelry was recalled, including sets sold at Limited Too, Big Lots, Family Dollar, and Michaels.

There were also lead tainted paint brushes, lead tainted sunglasses, and lead tainted Curious George dolls.

In all, November's recalls have pushed the total number of products recalled for lead contamination in 2007 to 16,203,350.

Once again we remind you not to buy cheap jewelry for your kid. It's leadtastic!

For this year adidas will be dropping a luxury collection of kicks that feature
premium materials and cool looking colourways. The Tobacco will be the first to
drop in March, followed in May by the release of the Campus Vintage, Italia 1960
and Rod Laver Vintage. Each sneaker brings a subtle touch of class to the floor,
for example, the Tobacco uses laser treated crackled leather, whilst the Campus
Vintage is particularly interesting due to the woven uppers that use a combination
of suede and patent leather. Adidasi si Haine will be the first to sell this models on the romanian market.


Originally released in 70's as a trainer designed for basketball freaks, Adidas Campus is featured sporting a Vintage style as apart of the latest collection. This Adidas Campus Vintage have a multi-colored woven upper with insertions of suede and leather. This model looks like it is straight out of the 1970 with bright colors for summer and a retro woven material. Despite the clasic design it is a great fashion model and will be available later this month at Adidasi in Romania.

Woman Makes Over $40.000 Per Year On Her Web Site Selling Tumbleweeds

All Linda Katz had to do was step outside of her house to make thousands on the Internet. Now the Midwestern entrepreneur is building a business selling a piece of the old west online: tumbleweeds.




Linda started her online business, the Prairie Tumbleweed Farm, as a joke. It was 1994 and she wanted to teach herself how to design a website. Since she lived on the prairie in southwest Kansas, where rolling tumbleweeds are sometimes the only dynamic feature of an endless flat horizon, she invented a farm that sold tumbleweeds, listing prices at $15 for a small one, $20 for a medium and $25 for large.

Lucky for her, some people didn’t get the joke. People emailed the site wanting to buy them. But even then Linda doubted she would be able to spin this straw into gold. “When I got an order I was just amazed,” she says, sitting on the porch of her home in Garden City, Kansas. “And each order I got, I thought it would probably be the last order. I remember thinking they would probably get them and send them back immediately as soon as they find out what they are.”

But that didn't happen. In fact, the orders just kept coming -- an average of 15 per week. Though she’s coy about her annual income from tumbleweed wrangling, she says it is over $40,000 a year. Not bad for a bunch of dead, dried-up weeds. Who buys them? Well, says Katz, rocket scientists, for one. NASA purchased tumbleweeds when they were designing their Mars Tumbleweed rover. “And if you go to their site on the NASA site to the tumbleweed rover, and you go to their links, they say that they only buy their tumbleweeds from Prairie Tumbleweed Farm,” Katz says proudly.

Hollywood has also come calling. Katz’s tumbleweeds have appeared in films like Johnny Depp’s “Neverland.” And she has supplied tumbleweeds to the big purple dinosaur kid’s show, “Barney.”

Katz says people usually use her tumbleweeds to recreate the look and feel of the old west for theme parties. But some customers tell her they buy tumbleweeds to remind them of the home on the prairie they left long ago.

How To Make $1,200 A Month From A Blog About Chickens With 250 Readers



http://www.angschickencoop.com/

Angie Mecklenburg, a mother of four in Sutter, Ill., blogs about chickens, God, and her farm. For an estimated $15, she'll write about soy-wax candles for a marketer.

Over the last 18 months, Mecklenburg has kept up three blogs, the most popular being Ang's Chicken Coop, which has the tagline "a view of the world from the coop." With about 250 daily visitors to her sites, she said she manages to make as much as $1,200 a month, collecting fees from Google advertising and marketers who pay her to write about their products via the blog ad network iZea.

For example, iZea recently paid her about $15 to write about candles from the Maddison Avenue Candles Company. She also was paid to write a blog about the Christian movie The Last Sin Eater earlier this year.

"iZea sent me a synopsis and movie clip. I blogged it and then I went and saw it," Mecklenburg said at the BlogWorld conference and expo here, a three-day event for blog entrepreneurs and professionals. She said she loved the movie.

Mecklenburg's story is just one of many here this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which is also playing host to GodblogCon, a gathering of religious bloggers. Many of the attendees are trying to figure out how to make money from their small publishing ventures, whether it's a political, military, or God-related blog.

iZea, formerly called Pay for Post, is one company trying to capitalize on that desire. Founded in June 2006, the company pays as many as 85,000 bloggers to write about a range of products, including household products, cars, wireless phones, and new movies. According to Randy Mountz, vice president of sales, iZea has roughly 11,000 advertisers in its network, including Hewlett-Packard, Ford, and MGM.

Mountz said the company pays bloggers an average of $18 for a 200-word post on a product or service. Its top blogger, the Florida mom behind Simplekindoflife.com, has made as much as $18,000 over the last year, he said.

Still, the company has had some push-back from other bloggers for buying blog editorial, he said. That's why, "we strongly encourage full disclosure in the post of the sponsorship," he said.

And so far, that's working for Mecklenburg, who now has as many as six blogs to discuss her different interests. Those sites include Twitter-patted.com and Ang's Brood.

"I blog about God and the things I see he does in my life," she said. "But it's not my sole focus. I have many interests and it's really hard to wrap all of them in one blog."

"I'm feeling lucky" Button Costs Google $110 Million Per Year

feelinglucky.jpg

Google cofounder Sergey Brin told public radio's Marketplace that around one percent of all Google searches go through the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. Because the button takes users directly to the top search result, Google doesn't get to show search ads on one percent of all its searches. That costs the company around $110 million in annual revenue, according to Rapt's Tom Chavez. So why does Google keep such a costly button around?

"It's possible to become too dry, too corporate, too much about making money. I think what's delightful about 'I'm Feeling Lucky' is that it reminds you there are real people here," Google exec Marissa Mayer explained, or at least tried to.

The World’s Most Expensive Lipstick

Guerlain, which created the first automatic lipstick and the first solid lipstick called “Forget Me Not” in the 1920’s, has now created the world’s most expensive lipstick. Called KissKiss Gold and Diamonds, the lipstick retails for $62,000. Custom designed in France, the lipstick is adorned with 110g of solid 18-carat yellow gold and 199 diamonds. The lipstick case is a replica of the original top-selling KissKiss lipstick created in 2005 by Olivier Echaudemaison (the famous French makeup artist who began his career by traveling with the Duchess of Windsor when he was but 17 and went on to do royalty and celebrities) and perpetually chic designer Herve Van Der Straeten.

lipstick.jpg

Mr. Van Der Straeten (channeling Karl Lagerfeld) had this to say: “Lipstick is simple, yet mysterious. One never really knows what she may uncover when the top is removed. This element of surprise creates curiosity and longing, which is what I hope each woman experiences when she clutches KissKiss Gold and Diamonds in the heart of her hand. It is powerful and unimaginable, unique and desired, obtainable and unobtainable at the same time.” So far, we haven’t felt any particular curiosity and longing as we wondered if it was time to re-apply our lipstick during the day, but perhaps we were just in a hurry. When not in use, the lipstick is housed in a black lacquered wooden case, where it can be properly worshiped on your altar of makeup. It is refillable and comes with its own lip brush and protective black suede pouch. The gold casing can be customized with an engraved name or message. The lipstick is available in 15 customizable shades hand selected by Olivier himself.

Airbus fears 'weak-dollar death'

Aerial shot of Airbus A380 plane
Airbus's savings plan was drawn up when the dollar was stronger
The weak dollar is threatening the survival of European planemaker Airbus, chief executive Tom Enders told workers in Hamburg on Thursday.

And the firm once again warned that its cost saving plan would have to cut deeper to counter the impact of the weakening US currency.

Airbus is owned by European aerospace and defence group EADS.

"The dollar's rapid decline is life-threatening for Airbus," Mr Enders said in the speech to employees.

"The dollar exchange rate has gone beyond the pain barrier," Mr Enders added.

And he said that Airbus's entire business model needed reviewing as "reasonable processes of adjustment" were hardly possible now, he said.

'Break even'

Airbus is already shedding about 10,000 jobs and selling plants as part of its Power8 restructuring plan after delays to its A380 superjumbo drove the planemaker into a loss last year.

The dollar has hit new record lows against the euro this week, something which Airbus says favours its US rival Boeing.

Earlier this month Airbus warned it may have to deepen its planned restructuring after steeper than expected third-quarter losses.

It said a net loss of 776m euros ($1.14 bn; £541m) - as against a loss of 189m euros in 2006 - was down to delays with its A400M military transport aircraft.

And it said full-year earnings would only "roughly break even".

EADS said it might have to make more savings, as cost-cutting plans were drawn up when the euro was weaker.

And back in September, Airbus chief operating officer Fabrice Bregier said a further 1bn euros might have to be added to a savings plan which was originally based on a $1.35 euro.

Using iPhone in cold 'risks RSI'


The iPhone: unsual finger movements?iPhone

Buying an iPhone may not just cause serious injury to your wallet.

The £270 device could also leave users with repetitive strain injury, it is claimed.

Flicking through menus, text messages and photos risks cutting the blood supply to finger muscles – especially in cold weather, experts warned.

And overuse of the Apple gadget could even damage the whole arm.

Despite its hefty price-tag, the iPhone sold 1.4million units in its first 90 days and was released in Britain last month. Its combination of phone, music player, Web browser and camera have made it the must-have gadget this Christmas.
