Barack Obama launched his presidency before an estimated 1.5 million people on the National Mall on Tuesday with somber yet confident tones, saying the country will overcome its serious economic and international challenges.
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious, and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America: They will be met.

50 Things Men Wish Women Knew
Author: furious // Category: Love, Miscellaneous, UncategorizedFurious writes…
Here’s one for us guys.. Universal guy truths that all women should understand 
I had a lot of fun going through the list with Fab and I highlighted the ones which relates to us
1. Express yourself. It makes us proud, even if someone thinks you’re wrong.
2. You look hot in running shoes and shorts. And that top thingy with the stripes.
3. Bare, tan shoulders are underrated.
4. If you think I’m speeding now, you should see me drive when you’re not in the car.
5. If you’re truly interested in us, don’t play hard to get.
6. Shopping is a chore, not an activity.
7. When I screw up, go ahead and tell me–once.
8. No question need ever be asked through a closed bathroom door if I’m inside. I love you less with each syllable you utter.
9. I’m hot for you, not your sister or your friend or your coworker.
10. My guy friends. Not only are they not negotiable, they’re your best sign that I’m not a whack job.

Kobe Bryant leaned into the microphone and said:
The series ain’t over. It’s far from over.
He promised more NBA finals games to come. I just hope he and his team can live up to that promise come Game 5. The Lakers have run out of time and tomorrows. It’s either win Game 5 on Sunday or pack away the sneakers for summer.
No team has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals, and even if the Lakers can avoid elimination and win at Staples Center, they’ll have to play Games 6 and 7 in Boston. No team has won the last two games on the road.
From what I’ve seen in his post game interviews, Bryant isn’t showing any signs of pressure of weakness. The Black Mamba is as cold-blooded as ever.
Bryant said he spent much of the past two days reading a Harry Potter book to his daughters, who had more problems dealing with Voldemort than what we have dealing with the media and the Celtics.

I know it’s hurting your eyes to see this plain, unimaginative theme that we are using. However, we need to do this because Furious has discovered some encrypted codes in our chosen theme. This means that someone might be hacking our precious site. Scary…

Despite Kobe Bryant leading his team back from a 24-point second half deficit with 30 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, the Los Angeles Lakers still came up short in Sunday’s 108-102 loss to the Boston Celtics.
Kobe couldn’t take it anymore, so he took it out on his teammates. With Game 2, and perhaps LA’s chances of winning the championship slipping away, the league’s MVP looked around the huddle and used some harsh words to fire up the Lakers. They persevered, dug deep and made a remarkable comeback that fell short. Now they find themselves in a situation where only three teams in NBA’s history – Boston in 1969, Portland in 1977, and Miami in 2006 – have overcome an 0-2 deficit to win the title.
Bryant thinks the Lakers can become No. 4. He could be right, as the next three games willl be on their home floor, the Staples Center, where they haven’t lost since March 28.
We’ve come too far to really sweat being down 0-2. We’re going to go home and handle our business.
I think we’re going to see a very aggressive #24. Expect him to dictate the whole pace of the game and enforce his will on the offensive side of the court. The Lakers also need consistency from primary post players, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom.

Hello all! It was bright and sunny outside so I thought I’d take some snaps of my brand new late 1993 Honda Integra VTi-R haha! I bought my second pride and joy (hunnie comes first *wink wink*) on the 24th of May this year from a guy who lives in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. His mum owned the car and hasn’t really driven it that much and has always been kept in a garage, hence the low mileage. Apart from being my first car, it was also the first manual car I have ever driven! Imagine what I had to go through the first night I took her home haha! It took me around 30 minutes to get the hang of it, but what really bothered me the most was getting into first gear! I was so terrified but at the same time excited as the car bunny-hopped forward numerous times and stalled on a handful of occasions! It really is fun to drive knowing you have VTEC under the hood =). The engine just screams once you hit 5,000 rpm as you floor the gas in 2nd gear, lurching the car forward, accompanied by the high note of the exhaust!
Tech Specs:
- Engine: B18C2 VTEC
- Displacement: 1797cc Inline 4
- Power: 167bhp / 125 kW @ 7600 rpm
- Torque: 175 Nm @ 6200 rpm
- Redline: 8200 rpm
- Transmission: 5 Speed Manual
- Valves: 32 Valves / 4 per cylinder
- Performance: < 7.3 seconds (0 – 100 km/h)
Honda Integra Vti-R 1993 NRMA Car Review
For many years, the Honda Integra has been well regarded for its build quality, its reliability and its pleasant, if fairly mundane styling. However, it wasn’t really the sort of vehicle to stir the emotions of a driving enthusiast, or one to stand out in a crowd.
Now the 1994-series Integras have come along, that image is set to change dramatically and the particular model that shines is the VTi-R. With its high-efficiency 1.8 litre VTEC engine delivering top performance, a well-tuned chassis providing impressive ride and handling qualities, four-wheel discs (plus ABS anti-locking) giving powerful, effective braking and one of the sweetest manual gearboxes you’ll find in a front-wheel drive car, the VTi-R rates as a genuine sports car that’s simply a delight to drive.
The 1994 Integra’s new “suit of clothes” plays its part in letting the world know that this is a very different new model, with a look that is both eye-catching and dramatic. Honda said that it wanted the new Integra to be immediately recognisable from 100 metres away and the unusual frontal treatment alone, should ensure that.
The GTi-R and the GSi are both powered by a DOHC 1.8 litre engine, but the GSi does without VTEC and dual-stage intakes. Power output in the GTi-R is 125 kW, while the GSi’s engine develops 107 kW. Not surprisingly, the Mazda MX-6′s 2.5 litre V6 engine beats the VTi-R on torque output, but the VTi-R just pips it on maximum power output.
Though much of the mechanical layout such as front wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension and variable power-assisted rack and pinion steering is common to both GTi-R and GSi, there are differences in the brakes, manual transmissions and wheels and tyres.
The VTi-R’s manual transmission has tapered roller bearings for increased durability, different gear ratios to the GSi model and receives its drive through a lighter flywheel. The VTi-R rides on 15 x 6 inch alloy wheels shod with 195/55 tyres, whereas the GSi has 14 x 5.5 steel wheels with 195/60 tyres. As previously mentioned, the VTi-R also has ABS anti-lock brakes.
Other items common to both versions include an electric sunroof, power windows and external mirrors, central locking, tilt steering, four-speaker CD-compatible stereo/cassette, remote releases for fuel flap and rear hatch, tinted windows and a 50/50 split folding rear seat. The VTi-R adds a driver’s airbag, four-spoke steering wheel, body-coloured side mouldings and other items already listed. Neither version comes with air conditioning; it’s a dealer-fitted option.
The performance of the VTi-R is really quite exceptional for a non-turbocharged 1.8 litre engine, and the best part is that it’s not just at the top end. Even when pottering along in heavy traffic, the engine picks up smoothly and eagerly, displaying excellent flexibility over a wide rev range. The most exhilarating acceleration is available around 5000 rpm, but the engine pulls strongly from around 3000 rpm to over 7,000 rpm. At the other end of the scale, the engine will pull from as little as 1000 rpm in the higher gears without protest.
That the VTi-R can perform so strongly without the aid of turbocharging, and at the same time, be so tractable at low speeds, is a convincing example of the value of variable valve timing and dual-stage intake manifolding, particularly when coupled with the latest in electronic engine management and fuel injection systems.
Complementing the engine’s willing performance is the VTi-R’s slick-shifting, close-ratio gearbox. So good is its action that you’re likely to find yourself changing gears just for the fun of it!
Two other things Honda has got “spot-on” are the handling and ride. Some earlier Hondas with double wishbone suspension (the previous Integra included) were choppy due to a lack of suspension travel, but not so the VTi-R. Its ride is comfortable and compliant in all conditions, but not too soft to allow body roll. The handling is near enough to neutral at all speeds over all types of surfaces, making the VTi-R an easy, safe and overall very enjoyable car to drive. The wide. low profile tyres provide excellent grip and the power steering provides better than average feedback to the driver than is usually experienced in Hondas.
The VTi-R is simply a beautifully balanced package that delivers everything and more its specifications promise. In short, Honda has a winner in this class and the opposition now has the job of catching up.
In mens watches, basically the tag heuer watches and the cartier watches are considered status symbol. Rest like the omega watches or the seiko watches are just good.
Hear ye, hear ye! Tired of reading blogs that are self-absorbed and one-sided? Here’s just the thing for you. My hunnie and I are planning to put pen to paper, or rather put thoughts to cyberspace to feature the hottest gadget, movie, car, bag, or what have you together with our own “his & her” opinions – piecing them together to create a blog that will be a fun read for both fab girls and furious guys.
P.S. We’re still in the process of putting everything together so make sure you drop by regularly to check out cool stuff we have in store for you. Cheers!
