The house where time has stood still.

Dom, w którym czas się zatrzymał jest do nabycia wraz całą zawartością pochodzącą w dużej mierze z epoki wiktoriańskiej.
Grange Farm w Ryton-on-Dunsmore przez ponad 70 lat zamieszkiwało rodzeństwo Jack i Audrey Newton. Siostra i brat nigdy nie założyli własnych rodzin. Pan Newton przeżył siostrę o 4 lata. Zmarł na początku bieżącego roku w wieku 90 lat
A Warwickshire house, where time has stood still for 70 years is to be sold and its contents auctioned.

Grange Farm at Ryton-on-Dunsmore had been home to brother and sister Jack and Audrey Newton since the 1940s.
The siblings who never married or had children, kept many of their parents possessions, going back to the Victorian era.
Mr Newton died earlier this year aged 90. He outlived his sister by four years.
The auctioneer's assistant Pat Ruck said the house was like a "timewarp."

Stormchasers.

Ryzykują życiem ścigając burze i tornada, ale fotografie robią niesamowite wrażenie.

It's a very risky business chasing tornadoes, but the results can be extremely rewarding if you're handy with a camera.

Tour guide and owner of Weather Adventures Storm Chasing Tours, Blake Knapp, most certainly is, as these incredible pictures of tornadoes show.

A 10-day itinerary, where tourists chase down tornadoes all around the United States, begins at just £2,300, but it's the memories and, hopefully, the stunning photographs that should last a lifetime.

The key to eternal youth?

Być może już wkrótce naukowcy odkryją sekret wiecznej młodości. Pomoże w tym,żyjąca na dnie mórz i oceanów, rozgwiazda. Niedawno stwierdzono,że zwierzę to żyje setki lat nie wykazując żadnych objawów starzenia się. I kto by pomyślał!

The key to eternal youth? STARFISH may hold the secret after scientists discover they can live for hundreds of years without ageing

• Starfish can reproduce either sexually or by cloning themselves
• Scientists have discovered that those reproduced by cloning produce a special type of DNA that doesn't age as it does in humans
• Discovery relates to telomeres - biological caps at ends of chromosomes
• Shorter than average telomeres indicate ill health and early death.

The world's largest flower garden.

Największy na świecie ogród kwiatowy. Zgadnijcie gdzie jest takie cudo. Oczywiście tam, gdzie nikt by się tego nie spodziewał - w samym sercu ... pustyni.

The middle of the desert is the last place you would expect to find the world's largest flower garden, exploding with colour and textures. 

But then again, in the city that prides itself on pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved - from the world's tallest building to indoor ski slopes in the desert - what can you expect?

The Dubai Miracle Garden features a sensational 45 million flowers over an 18-acre site, from breathtaking flowerbeds to heart-shaped archways and adorned castles.

Statue of Liberty

17 czerwca 1885 roku przypłynęła do Nowego Jorku Statua Wolności. Pomnik, który był darem narodu francuskiego, wzniesiono najpierw we Francji, a następnie w częściach przetransportowano do Ameryki.
Dedicated to the United States by the people of France on October 28th, 1886, the Statue of Liberty has come to embody the ideals of freedom, justice and new beginnings. Built in France and shipped to the U.S. by boat, it was decades after the initial idea was sparked that Lady Liberty finally crossed the ocean. Despite criticism and lack of funds, this statue was finally built and has now served as a beacon for immigrating masses and as a witness to over a century of history. In this video, WatchMojo.com learns more about the history of this iconic American symbol, The Statue of Liberty.

Can you speak CAT?

Dr Gary Weitzman, weterynarz  z Kaliforni, autor książki HOW TO SPEAK CAT? analizuje mowę ciała kotów. Ciekawy artykuł na ten temat zamieszcza Daily Mail.
Czy koty są z nami tylko dlatego, że je karmimy?

Is all that purring, licking and being available for stroking just an elaborate — and effective — ruse for getting food and a warm place to sleep? Are human beings being conned? Are cats secretly laughing at us?

Animal behaviour expert and Californian vet Dr Gary Weitzman thinks not. He is the author of a new book from National Geographic, How To Speak Cat, and argues that cats are far more loving and dependent on human affection than many of us realise.

And, crucially, he says we can improve our relationships with our cats by learning more about their ‘language’ — the ways in which they communicate with us.

You Only Live Twice...

You Only Live Twice to tytuł nastrojowej piosenki, którą w piątym filmie o przygodach Jamesa Bonda śpiewała Nancy Sinatra. 

You Only Live Twice or so it seems

One life for yourself and one for your dreams

You drift through the years and life seems tame

Till one dream appears and love is it's name

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on

Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone

This dream is for you, so pay the price

Make one dream come true, You Only Live Twice

'Natural' ways to make your teeth pearly white.

Każdy chciałby mieć ząbki jak perełki. Dla bogatych to żaden problem ale można taniej, a nawet całkiem tanio....
Daily Mail poddaje analizie różne domowe sposoby wybielania zębów przy pomocy naturalnych środków.
 Wyniki są następujące:
Dentyści ocenili pozytywnie: truskawki, banany, sodę oczyszczaną.
Testu nie zdały: kurkuma, ocet jabłkowy, cytryna, biała część skórki pomarańczy, olej kokosowy.
To co jest dla naszych zębów najlepsze?

Strawberries are the best natural teeth-cleaners here. They taste great, are fantastic for the teeth and contain antioxidants, which are healthy, too. Gorge on them over summer and let them naturally clean your teeth.

They won’t push out the tiny colour molecules which cause staining, but they will give your teeth a cleaner appearance without harming them.

Meanwhile, professional whitening should be done by a trained dental worker and maintained with a whitening toothpaste — and perhaps a mouthful of strawberries!

Bip bop boom, I thought you're gonna be doomed

I said, bip, bop, bip bop boom

What's REALLY in dry shampoo?

DRY SHAMPOO czyli suchy szampon to wspaniały wynalazek. Zawsze mam w domu na wszelki wypadek i czasami używam. Czy to jednak dobre dla włosów?

Some experts warn that this dry shampoo formula can actually damage hair in the longterm, causing dandruff and blocked pores.

'Dry shampoo is designed to draw moisture away from the scalp so excessive use will definitely leave you with a dry and flaky scalp,' Sydney-based celebrity stylist, Renya Xydis, told FEMAIL.

Many hairdressers advise looking for 'quality' dry shampoos over supermarket brands.

Some also recommend avoiding products that are overly powdery or heavily fragranced. 

For those who want to avoid using 'unhealthy' dry shampoos, Wired.com says that a dash of corn starch produces the same result.
