Review of Pinarello Dogma 60.1

Pinarello has come up trumps with a racing road bike called Pinarello Dogma 60.1. It has a sturdy Prince frame and the trusted name of Dogma. It has a revolutionary asymmetric racing frame having different shapes and sections on right and left sides. Taking cue from proven shapes and using geometry, Pinarello has used state of the art technology to make this super bike. Nanoalloy has been used to make the frame and has an EPS wrinkle free system construction. Diamond finish exterior uses 60HM1K carbon by Torayca. The bike comes in 11 frame sizes and is totally customizable.
Lower left section of tube section has been reinforced to act against pulling forces on the handlebar. The use of 60HM1K carbon means the bike is solid and can withstand any impact. Higher carbon number often leads to brittleness but the use of Nanoalloy which is an elastomer takes care of this problem and does not allow cracks to be developed. This makes the bike 23% more impact resistant than earlier Price model and is lighter by 40-90 grams.
The path breaking EPS wrinkle free frame allows consistent frame thickness and prevents small tears in the carbon that normally occur in the more complicated sections during manufacturing. Finish of the frame is Diamond based, which allows for more sparkling colors.

The frameset alone costs $5500 and the price of the complete bike is $15500 which makes it one of the most expensive racing bikes in its class. Considering the sturdy frame and styling, there are many takers for the super bike.

Games of the future

Games are a fun way to spend time with your family and friends. They come in such a variety that nobody should feel left out of this universal entertainment.

Games are addressed both to young people and adults as well. Some are specially designed to be played by families such as monopoly or scrabble. Others can be played using consoles for more interaction. Products currently available on the market can provide multiplayer features also.

Games in the early ages had quite simple graphics. Developers offer today high definition technologies which allow advanced graphic display and amazing interactive tools serving to give a more natural feeling of actually being involved in the game plot’s unfolding.

Games are also used as part of child education helping them to be more confident, more analytical and find solutions in a structured way without taking out the fun from this experience.

Games technology is the base today for training as it was incorporated in air flight training programs for example. Pilots can perform extensive preparation in a virtual environment and try out different scenarios.

Scientific studies showed that games can enhance our strategic thinking and increase time response in various cases. This is the reason for which in some companies, having a break to play games is greatly encouraged.

If you like outdoor games, but you cannot go outside to play because of weather conditions, you have now the possibility to use console games which mimic environment surroundings and let you play tennis or golf from the comfort of your home.

Amsterdam - A guide

When it comes to romance and the twinkling sights, nothing is comparable to a good night in Amsterdam. Before embarking on your journey in Amsterdam, be sure to find The Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky to have a luxurious space to stay overnight or so. The Hans Brinker Budget Hotel is great for the younger generation who likes to experience a little bit of Amsterdam's culture while being catered to have a splendid nightlife. Enjoy a good glass of wine as you float in tranquility on the river cruise in Amsterdam. Take a few stops on the streets of Spiegelgracht Niewe Spiegelstraat Street to enjoy Amsterdam's shopping facilities that sell antiques items. If you are looking for antique shops, you will want to check out the main areas of Golden Bend and Rijksmuseum located in the neighborhood of Museumplein. Knowing where, what you want to eat and choosing where to eat is important. Restaurants are the gems of Amsterdam. Be sure to visit the Blauw aan de Wal Restaurant found in the middle of the Red Light District; the restaurant is truly a symbol of elegance with their wood floors which have been standing since the 1700's. Getting around Amsterdam is found to be easier with a bicycle or using the public transit. The water park city has plenty of water skywalks and inaccessible areas by means of traveling with a car. When traveling through the city; The Red Light District amongst some other areas will give you the feel of a constant nightlife that seems surreal with light reflections that shine off the water. The pinnacle of Amsterdam is the availability of coffee shops and hash smoking areas. The trip is not complete without a stop in one of the many available coffee shops. Most coffee shops are small with a gloomy environment filled with many people who are habitual users of marijuana. Typically, outsiders who are residents of a country where pot is illegal may feel intimidated being in an Amsterdam coffee shop. But you will fit just fine with the residents who make you feel at ease.

Health

One of the most important things to people is their health. Health is a very broad word and can mean a various amount of different things. You can be talking about your mental health, physical, emotional, health insurance or how to maintain a proper and well balanced healthy system. I mean the ways to go about this word and subjects are endless. I’m going to touch base on just a few of those and some in deeper depth. For starters, health is basically the condition of each person. You can have good health, bad health or even poor health. Many people try to maintain their health by eating healthy foods and exercising regularly.

These are actually two good and sure fire ways to help maintain good health and a happy body and mind. However, for some people it’s a tad bit hard because they’re not sure where to start, so let’s get into it. One way to start living healthy and have great health is to exercise a little bit a day. You can do something small like walk around for thirty minutes, park further from your destination to walk or even take the stairs instead of the elevator. If you stay at home, try doing some simple exercises like crunches, sit ups, jogging in place, or dance. Anything that will get your blood circulating. You can also eat healthier by switching from white to wheat. Stop eating all of those junky foods and sugary drinks and deserts. They just add more fat and clog arteries, no need for that.

Another form of health is mental and emotional. It’s important to have good mental and emotional health so that you don’t over work yourself. Give your mind and body some relaxation time. You can’t be running around twenty four seven without doing things for yourself. Have some down time every night to do something that makes you laugh. Whether its watch a movie, dance, go out somewhere, just do something to release some tension. If you’re very emotional then let it out for thirty minutes. Don’t keep things bottled up because you’re hurting your mental health and eventually it will hurt you physically too.

Fashion

Fashion is a broad subject that establishes who we are and where we’re from to some people. There are fashions that are considered high class and low class, or rich and poor. Everyone has a different idea of what fashion is and a different perspective on how to display it and show it off. While some like me enjoy an urban fashion sense, others enjoy a rich and colorful fashion wardrobe by rich designers that cost them hundreds of dollars for only one outfit. To many upper class people the money is worth it to look good from head to toe. Generally matching from their shoes to the jewelry and hat their wearing.

Fashion is more than clothes though. It’s also the accessories that you add on to your clothes, the ways you display the clothes and how you wear the clothes. Just as well, different situations call for different fashion. If you’re going to a funeral then that particular situation calls for a dimmer fashion, classier and dressed up. However going out swimming or to the club will call for a more down to earth or skimpier fashion. Those things may be short skirts, shorts, or tight jeans and belly shirts. While each person has a different fashion sense, fashion is an ever growing part of our economy.

People will spend millions on clothing per year just to show their status. Every genre of persons has a different fashion sense from no hats, to big hats, small, jewelry or no jewelry The only thing that matters with fashion however, is that you can rock what you’re wearing and make it look good., Clothing doesn’t have to be expensive to be fashionable, it just has to be appealing to the person wearing it to be a fashion statement. All things considered, if you can rock it, then it’s fashion. IT doesn’t matter if it’s flashy, grungy, down to earth, dull or colorful. Fashion comes in all styles, sizes, designs and colors.
