There’s only one word to describe Magic Mike XXL, raunchy! If you’re looking to see anything like the last Magic Mike, forget it. This sequel has a new look and feel. They’ve stepped it up by 10 times the fun and excitement of old. Word of mouth is something else because I kept seeing large groups of ladies, especially the 50+ range flocking to see Magic Mike XXL. The shy laughter and red faces were infectious. I had no intentions of going to see it because I expected more of the same since I had seen the first Magic Mike. I was surprised and my curiosity was well satisfied once I saw what the “brouhaha” was all about. We all know about the outstanding bodies of Channing Tatum who plays Mike, Joe Mangoniello who plays Big Dick Richie, Matt Bomer who plays Ken and the rest of the group…

This week, Lexus introduced a short teaser video for SLIDE, a hoverboard that appears to not just live up to our Back to the Future II dreams but, at least stylistically, improve on them. Better yet, it’s more science than science fiction. Here’s how it works—and why you won’t find one at Toys’R’Us any time soon.
Let’s start with that teaser video, a scant 37 seconds of hoverboard hype that almost prompts more skepticism than excitement. A bamboo and carbon fiber skateboard, emitting wisps of smoke, levitates an inch or two off of what appears to be a concrete surface. A foot approaches as if to mount and ride—and then nothing. We cut away.
That’s not a lot to put one’s faith in. We’re barely a year past the most recent convincing hoverboard hoax—a Funny or Die promotion, it turned out—and are halfway through the year in which BTTFII took place, a ripe time for attention-grabbing tie-ins.
Airbus flew its electric plane across the English Channel in a symbolic first step toward making electronic flight viable. The 20-foot long, 1300-pound aircraft released zero emissions.
I have been taking pictures for a while now…..But I just took pictures for the heck of it then. Never had I put any effort to improve n get better ones out of my camera. Now, I am starting to take it more seriously and learn more about photography. In the process, lately I have been seeing myself smiling, thanking, sulking and much more with this “SUN” guy. I can very well say that I am in a love- hate relationship with the sun. Probably now I am noticing the profound effect it can have on my pictures. The perfect position of the sun in the sky can mean perfectly lit subject and thus beautiful pictures and sometimes a cloudy day can work wonders. In a studio setting, you can manipulate the light and get what you want, but in a natural setting, you have to work with what you…
Euro zone leaders made Greece surrender much of its sovereignty to outside supervision on Monday in return for agreeing to talks on an 86 billion euros bailout to keep the near-bankrupt country in the single currency.
The terms imposed by international lenders led by Germany in all-night talks at an emergency summit obliged leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to abandon promises of ending austerity and could fracture his government and cause an outcry in Greece.
“Clearly the Europe of austerity has won,” Greece’s Reform Minister George Katrougalos said.
