Using only the power of their naked bodies, these chiseled young men hurl javelins and discus, challenge the low bar and stalk and snare their naked prey with hooks and nets like gladiators. Their pumped-up bodies struggle and strain against each other in the full body contact of eight intense wrestling matches. And between events, these statuesque sportsmen individually show off their perfectly formed nude bodies in detailed close-ups. Let the games begin! (Less) Channel: naughtymovies

Called "Two Weeks To Taxi," the folks at Glasair Aviation have looked at all the factors that keep airplanes from being built and built a packaged solution that not only virtually guarantees a completion, but does so in near record time. "Two Weeks to Taxi was created because a high percentage of the over 1000 kits sold each year are not completed by the original buyer. We wanted to know what the industry could do to change that," Glasair Aviation President Mikael Via reports. "We determined that buyers often have a false sense of the time and expense involved with building an airplane. They know the cost of the kit, engine, and avionics. What they don't realize is the cost of induction and exhaust systems, spinner, brakes, windows, interior, light, and all of the other little things that drive the cost up." "They also misjudge the cost of equipping a workshop and/or hangar," added Via. "They also don't consider the amount of time to set up a shop, building jigs, cleaning up and setting up for the next piece to assemble." Initially developed for Glasair's Sportsman 2+2 model, Two Weeks to Taxi is designed to present an organized work area where all parts and tools are at the builder's fingertips, and expert assistance is available to help the builder. By eliminating delays associated with missing parts or hardware and removing the uncertainty of "Am I doing this right?", TWTT believes they can save from 70 to 90 percent of the time lost to these delays. The better part of 1000 Sportsmen have been built under the program. They spun Two Weeks to Taxi off into a separate company, and will add additional models as market demand dictates, and TWTT is able to handle the workload. Another consideration is keeping in compliance with the 51% Rule, because that limits how much contribution TWTT will be able to make. In some cases, they may actually have to un-do work on some parts of a kit, if they determine a need to incorporate a difficult procedure for a different piece into the program. The builder would then reassemble the disassembled component, as to keep with the spirit of the 51% rule. Other possibilities are to pre-fit some parts, so they fit together better than when the kit left the factory. Via emphasized that the program isn't for everyone. By the nature of the process, some flexibility is sacrificed concerning options available to the builder. He also emphasized that the airframe is not complete at the end of the program, but is well on its way to completion. Pricing for the Two Weeks to Taxi program varies, depending on airframe, engine, avionic and other options.

Over land, underwater, in the air: Longines has always been profoundly attached to sport in every dimension. Its forward-looking spirit has taken physical form for 175 years through numerous technological innovations in the service of timing sports events and of speed records. It also takes form in the close bond between the winged hourglass brand and sporting pioneers and their legends. Presented in 2007 in Basel, the new Longines Sport Collection expresses its essence in those exceptional men and women who, with a record, an exploit, a demonstration of courage, have left their mark in history and inspire new generations of sportsmen and women to go faster, further, higher or deeper than anyone else.
The HydroConquest line is intended to become the preferred watch for divers and enthusiasts of the open sea. It includes models that are water-resistant to 300 m, equipped with a stainless steel case with screw-down case back and screw-in crown, as well as a unidirectional turning bezel, made either of eloxed aluminium, studded steel for improved grip or steel with embossed numbers. This line is available in both automatic and quartz versions.
The Conquest series expresses the elegant dimension of performance. It is the result of considerable research into the aesthetic potential of the bezel. Here, it is offered in either the white or black glamour of ceramic, the smooth sobriety of polished steel, or with the bright dazzle of Top Wesselton VVS diamonds. All the models are water-resistant to 300 m and fitted with a screw-down case back and screw-in crown. This line is available in both automatic and quartz versions.
The GrandeVitesse series stands out for its automatically-wound chronograph movements offering an aerodynamic design, harmonious form and dial with "big 12", evoking speed records and motor sports, especially Formula 1, that Longines has timed. Each model has a tachymeter adapted to its intended use, with speeds of up to Mach 2.
The Admiral series evokes the aesthetic and prestigious dimension of sport. It includes automatic mechanical watches and chronographs and an automatic watch with double time zone. The screw-in crown and screw-down case back assure they remain water-resistant to 100 m. The elegance of these models is clearly evident in the detailed workmanship and purity of line they offer.
The Sport Legends series pays homage to the legendary figures and exploits associated with Longines. It includes the Diver Legend, the re-issue of a 1960 diving watch revisited with the pioneering spirit of depth records. It is joined by the Longines Weems Second-Setting Watch, commemorating the invention of Captain Weems, and by the Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch, designed by the famous aviator in the wake of his exploit of 1927.

obama statement in that article:
As President, I will uphold the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun-owners, hunters, and sportsmen. I know that what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne. We can work together to enact common-sense laws, like closing the gun show loophole and improving our background check system, so that guns do not fall into the hands of terrorists or criminals. Todays decision reinforces that if we act responsibly, we can both protect the constitutional right to bear arms and keep our communities and our children safe.

On the very same day the Thai people were proudly cheering His Majesty the King as a member of the Thai national sailing team.
Throughout the race His Majesty the King performed his duties in the same manner as any other sportsmen. To the nations extreme pleasure and pride on the 16th of December 2510 the Thai peoples Sporting Monarch stood on the winners podium to receive the gold medal. This is the first time in sporting history where a monarch entered an international sporting event and won a gold medal.
His Majestys sporting skills are not limited to sailing. He is interested in many other sports in which he studies and practices until he becomes a model for the following generations. (Less) Channel: youtube
