Auf den Etappen der diesjährigen Mille Miglia hat der Himmel zeitweise zwar alle seine Schleusen geöffnet und stellte an die Fahrer noch größere Anforderungen als sonst, um ihre wertvollen Oldtimer nach rund 1.600 Kilometern wohlbehalten in Brescia wieder ins Ziel zu bringen. Der Stimmung sowohl bei den Teilnehmern als auch den zahllosen Zuschauern tat dies jedoch keinen Abbruch. Gut geschützt von Regenschirmen, stehen die eingefleischten Oldtimer-Fans, von denen viele aus zahlreichen Ländern nach Italien gereist sind, aber auch diejenigen, die erst ernsthafte Fans werden wollen, dicht gedrängt an den Straßenrändern, beklatschten die historischen Fahrzeuge - gleichgültig, ob nun ein Porsche, Mercedes, Bentley, Jaguar, BMW, VW oder Bugatti an ihnen vorbeirollte. Aber was war schon die Unannehmlichkeit im strömenden Regen zu stehen gegen den Anblick der alten wertvollen Rennwagen. Am Ende zählte nur dabei gewesen zu sein.
Natural disasters that have devastated the nation this year have reminded Americans about the importance of preparedness. That was the focus of the Ad Council and FEMA’s Ready campaign created pro bono by Chicago-based advertising agency Leo Burnett. The innovative campaign earned Leo Burnett the Ad Council’s top creative award of the year – the Gold Bell for Creative Excellence. Marc Pritchard, Global Branding Officer of The Proctor and Gamble Company and Ad Council Chairman of the Board, presented the award last night at the Ad Council’s 59th Annual Public Service Award Dinner. Silver and Bronze Bells were also awarded to Havas Worldwide New York and Grey New York for their work on the Unplanned Pregnancy Prevention and Stroke Awareness campaigns, respectively.

Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford today announced that the state’s Cash Dash unclaimed property program has a new name, I-Cash, and has added 780,000 new names to the public web database. The Illinois State Treasurer’s Office is making this effort to connect even more Illinois residents with their cash and assets.
I-Cash, part of the Illinois State Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property Division, connects state residents with their unclaimed property. The program was established in 1999 with the goal of helping Illinois residents through the process of reclaiming money or assets. It’s common for people to lose track of their assets when they move or when loved ones pass away, and businesses and banks are required to turn over unclaimed accounts to the treasurer’s office.

Was ein wirklicher Auto-Freak ist, hat jetzt Spiegel Online aufgedeckt. Das ist jemand, der beispielsweise einen 6,2 Liter großen V12 Motor aus einem Lamborghini Murciélago samt Allradgetriebe, Bremssystem und Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe in einen Fiat 500 aus dem Jahr 1971 einbaut. Kein verspäteter Aprilscherz wie die Bilder beweisen. Und das Beste: Der kleine Oldtimer mit seinem nun 580 PS starken Triebwerk fährt sogar ohne zu mucken. Vorerst nur getestet auf einer Rennstrecke, doch die beiden Enthusiasten - der 55jährige Werkstattbesitzer Gianfranco Dini und sein 27 Jahre alter Sohn Leonardo - sind sich sicher, schon bald eine Straßenzulassung für das kleine „Monster

Although many people have toyed with the idea of installing solar panels to generate their own electricity, they may not be aware quite how simple the whole process can be.
A brand new stop motion video from energy efficiency specialists, The Eco Experts, shows fitting a panel to your roof really is child’s play. The brains behind the stop motion animation was Eco Experts’ employee, Ian Wright, who spent two days playing with Lego to create the film.

Now that I am forced to going back to using Windows XP Movie Maker and thus once again enduring mega technical issues such as continual freeze ups and failure to be able publish a video in it's entirety, this video was only publishing 60% of my work here. I chopped and cropped the original video into 5 parts and inserted those parts into a final video and muted the sound due to split second skips now in the audio and inserted a fresh audio track and now it looks like I have a finished product.
