Ciara has a great body. Her gorgeous legs are tight and toned. She posed as she arrived for some event in a stupid looking mullet dress – short in the front, long in the back – that actually showed off her curves and sexy legs nicely. She’s got her wig rocking and her body banging witrh nice legs in sky high heels. She’s worth a look.

Amber Lancaster is a pretty woman. She has a great body and sexy legs. I’m not sure what the deal is with her bird feather chest plate but my attention is on her gorgeous legs in high heels and that is just fine.

Karolina Kurkova has long legs. Unlike many leggy models her legs are shapely and not simply a skinny pair of stilts. Obviously she is a slim woman, otherwise she wouldn’t be a model, much less one of the most famous in the world. But at least she has some shape to her tall slim body. Anyway I dig her long legs. They are gorgeous and look great in her stylish high heels which even further accentuates them.

The Pentagon has finished drafting its first official “computer sabotage strategy,” determining that online cyber attacks from another country can constitute an act of war, enabling the U.S. to retaliate with military force.
“If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks,” a military official told The Wall Street Journal by way of example.
The formal strategy underlines a rising need to systematically respond to attacks on the computer systems of the U.S. and other countries. In 2009, a strain of the Microsoft Windows computer virus Stuxnex, which some believe originated from Israel with U.S. help, damaged Iran’s nuclear facilities. More recently, Google was the victim of cyber attacks that allegedly originated in China, an affair the the White House became involved in.
The 30-page document, unclassified portions of which are expected to become public next month, is also likely to spark debates about a number of unaddressed issues, including whether the U.S. can truly determine the origin of an attack and when a cyber attack is serious enough to constitute an act of war, the WSJ notes.

Rihanna shows off her long sexy legs in the latest in skank wear. She loves to display her gorgeous legs wearing revealing outfits fit for a street walker. I have no interest in this pop singer but plenty of folks do and I can appreciate hot legs despite the curent style of many pop singers like her looking more like a porn performer than classy entertainer.

It’s Indy 500 day, and our thoughts turn to fast cars, the latest automotive tech, the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500, and … world-record truck jumping?
That’s what happened today at turn 4 of the Indianapolis 500 race track, when stunt driver and Top Gear star Tanner Faust warmed up the crowd by setting a new jumping distance world record for a 4-wheeled vehicle.
Driving down a huge ramp designed look like a Hot Wheels “V-Drop” track as part of a “Fearless at the 500″ promotion, Faust picked up enough speed to launch his specially modified “Pro 2″ truck a world-record 332 feet. That was more than enough to beat the previous record of 301 feet.
Until the jump took place, Faust’s identity was kept secret. He’d been practicing for months — he tells his story in this video, revealed for the first time earlier today:
And the video teaser that led up to the jump:
Carrie Underwood has gorgeous legs. In fact I’m not sure I’ve seen any celebrity with more shapely and toned legs. I knew this woman had great legs but this is really stunning. They look smooth, toned and long. A photo of perfection. She enjoys showing them off as she tends to wear short dresses and sky high heels. This is some really good work.

Product: Nike+ SportWatch GPS
Price: $ 199.99
What It’s Good For: It promises to track your run via GPS without you needing to carry your phone, as it has a push-button satellite connection.
Who It’s Good For: Runners of all levels who want an accurate assessment of their runs, accounting for corners and hills.
Limitations: There’s an awful lot you have to plug this watch into your computer for, such as adjusting the clock and syncing your location. Plus you have to take a few steps to get to the website that shows your running history.
Bottom Line: The Nike+ Sportwatch GPS is very accurate, and with a little software-side tweaking, it could be the perfect scoring system for your runs.
I love running — so long as I’m getting some kind of credit for it. Some people track calories, others track kilometers. The latter is your score in a real-world video game that can make you healthier faster than just about any other activity. Without a good scoring system, it’s simply too easy to stay in bed instead of hitting the road.
That’s why, ever since the iPhone app Couch to 5K transformed me from a run-o-phobe to a halfway-decent middle-distance runner, I’ve been looking for tech that can inspire me in a similar manner and log my runs precisely. And that’s what I hoped I’d found in the Nike+ Sportwatch GPS.
Prior to reviewing the SportWatch, which came to market last month, I’d been using the Runkeeper app to track my outings. But that can be a somewhat irritating process. Not only does it mean you have to run with your phone strapped to your arm (or bouncing around distractingly in your pocket), but you have to fire up the app, tell it you’re running rather than walking or biking, and wait for it to connect to GPS satellites. And if, like me, you tend to run up, down and around city streets rather than in a straight line, you have to log on to Runkeeper afterwards and painstakingly adjust the map of your run. Because its connection to GPS is not constant, Runkeeper has a frustrating habit of assuming that I ran through buildings rather than around a corner. Unadjusted, this has too often made it look like I ran 9K, say, rather than 10K. The more you run, the greater the lost distance. No fair!
These, then, were my main questions about the Nike+ Sportwatch GPS: Would it have a push-button satellite connection, allowing me to run without the extra bulk of a phone? And would it log my runs more precisely than a phone app? Certainly, the branding would suggest so — the watch was made in conjunction with GPS stalwarts TomTom. Like other Nike products and apps, the watch also connects to the company’s patented shoe pod, which sits in your left sneaker and estimates your distance via your footfalls. But it’s GPS accuracy that you’re paying the big bucks for.
So is it push-button? Literally, yes. Press one button on the side of the watch’s massive face, and the attractive number display is replaced with a “linking” screen. I found that the amount of time it stays on that screen can vary wildly. After I took a trip to Florida, ran there, and came back to San Francisco, it refused to connect to GPS at all. A Nike rep told me that was likely because it was looking for satellites as if it were in its last known location; it would be fixed by simply plugging it in to my laptop’s USB port (there’s a nifty little USB connector built into the strap) and connecting to the Nike+ app. And indeed it was.
There’s the rub, though. There’s an awful lot you have to plug this watch into your computer for, including adjusting the clock itself. Taking a trip outside your time zone without your laptop? Then you’re going to have a hard time — or at least an out-of-sync time. We’re a long way from the convenience of mobile apps here.
The SportWatch GPS does beat Runkeeper on accuracy, overall. The runs shown on the map at Nikeplus.com look more like the route I ran; evidently the TomTom technology is more precise on roads than the iPhone’s GPS chip, so Nike’s software usually understands the concept of street corners without needing adjustment — which is a good thing, because you can’t actually do any adjustment on the Nike map as you can with Runkeeper. The few times my watch was inaccurate, there was no hope of appeal.
Overall, the SportWatch is a pretty cool piece of technology, if a little pricey. I like that Nike has kept it simple and friendly, offering congratulations on a run that beats your previous best time or distance, and personal trainer-like encouragement (“good job!”). It would be nice to have a little more functionality on the watch itself, such as changing the time without an assist from your PC. Where Nike falls down is on the software, which sometimes didn’t load automatically, and takes too many steps to get to the webpage that displays your most recent run.
For that reason alone, Runkeeper will remain my favored system for the moment. With a little software-side tweaking, however, the Nike+ Sportwatch GPS could be the perfect scoring system for real-world video game runs.

Following the last two month’s of somewhat epic buzz for brand McQueen, kicking off with the Royal Wedding dress and the celebrity homage to the late designer and industry icon at the 2011 Met Ball, the rather exciting (but unsurprising) news just broke that The Costume Institute’s Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit taking place in NY has been extended. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has seen such a huge success from the exhibition and will now be extending it by a week, up until August 7th. So if you are in New York City over the next two months, you definitely need to head down.
On a slightly less cultural, but equally beautiful note, the latest Jon Kortajarena editorial for ELLE Men Mexico by Santiago Ruiseñor is equally breathtaking and totally worth staring at for a minimum of 34 seconds … and breathe.
