This is, believe it or not, the world's first-ever Ferrari stretch limo: a 23-foot 360 Modena with eight seats and the biggest electric gullwing doors we've ever seen.It's the handiwork of Style Limousines in Manchester, which spent more than £200,000 modifying the rear-engined 360.All eight of the seats are carbon-fibre buckets with five-point race harnesses - which might sound excessive until you discover that the 3.6-litre V8 remains, its 395bhp propelling the mega-Ferrari to 60mph in under six seconds. Could prove a challenge not to spill your cheap champagne.Those gull-wing doors are nine-foot long and were designed by one of the teams responsible for the Mercedes SLR McLaren.

The Woman in Your Life...Very Well Expressed...
Tomorrow you may get a working woman,
but you should marry with these facts as well.
Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;
One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name
One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen
One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,
a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as
to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;
One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;
Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply
because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise
One, who can be late from work once in a while
when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;
One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;
One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstained support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.
But not many guys understand this......
Please appreciate "HER"

Islamic, Christian and Jewish (Hebrew) Calendars
Islamic, Christian and Jewish (Hebrew) Calendars As we approach the new years of both the Islamic and Christian (Gregorian) calendars, it would be appropriate to review the basics of the Islamic, Jewish and Christian calendars. Jewish Calendar The Jewish calendar (Hebrew calendar) is based on lunisolar calendar (based on phases of the moon and the solar cycles). The calendar is based on the creation, which according to Jewish religion happened around 3760 BC. This calendar has anywhere between 353 to 385 days. New day in the Jewish calendar starts at sunset. The twelve regular months include: Nisan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Av, Elul, Tishrei, Marcheshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, and Adar. Islamic Calendar The Islamic calendar (also known as the Hijri calendar) The calendar is based on the lunar cycle (based on the phases of the moon). It is believed that Caliph Umar (second Capliph after the death of prophet Muhammad) started numbering the years of the Islamic calendar from the year of the Hijra (Prophet's emigration from Makkah to Al-Madinah) The Islamic calendar has approximately 12 months and 354 days New day in the Islamic calendar starts at sunset. All Muslim holidays are based on the Islamic calendar. The 12 Islamic months in the Islamic calendar are Muharram, Safar, Rabi' al-awwal, Rabi' al-thani, Jumada al-awwal, Jumada al-thani, Rajab, Sha'aban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhu al-Qi'dah and Dhu al-Hijjah. Christian Calendar The Gregorian calendar is also sometimes referred to as the Christian or Western calendar The years in this calendar are based on Jesus's birth. So, according to Christians, "AD 2007″ literally means "in the 2007′th year since the birth of Jesus. There were other calendars introduced before the Gregorian calendar such as the Julian calendar. However, the Gregorian calendar sought to improve the earlier versions. The Christian calendar went through many changes with the last change named after Pope Gregory XIII The Gregorian calendar comprises of 12 months, and 365 days (366 days in a leap year). The months in the Gregorian calendar are of 30 or 31 days with February having 28 days and 29 days in a leap year. New day in the Gregorian calendar starts at midnight. Gregorian calendar forms the basis of the current day's calendar.
Do u Like or Love Someone..... Read this!!!
In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster but in front of the person you like, you get happy. In front of the person you love, Winter seems like Spring but in front of the person you like,Winter is just beautiful Winter. In front of the person you love, you can't say everything on your mind, but in front of the person you like, you can. In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy,but in front of the person you like, you can show your own self. If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush, but if u you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile. You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love, but you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like. When the one you love is crying,you cry with them, but when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting. The feeling of love starts from the eye but the feeling of like starts from the ear. So, if you stop liking a person you used to like, all you need is to do is cover your ears. But, if you try to close your eyes, love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your heart forever............... " Don't Love Those, Whom u Like..... But Love Those Who Like u ! "
