Aston Martin

aston martin - Aston Martin, which is the only genuine James Bond car, has been bought by Harry Yeaggy , an American classic cars collector, who has a private museum in Ohio, for a whopping $4.1 million. Its unique features include ejector seats, machine guns, swiveling license plates and other spy devices. It was initially expected to fetch $5.5 million. The proud owner said he intended to drive it around London that night. Mr. Yeaggy feels that the fact that this car has never appeared for sale on the market, is its main attraction. He opines that this classic might become the centerpiece of a posh official complex at New York or Moscow. Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming, had preferred a Bentley for Bond initially, but film makers opted for an Aston Martin. This silves Aston Martin is a fusion of Italian design and British engineering, and was driven by Connery in his highly successful films “Goldfinger” and “Thunderball”. Connery era Bond films were preferred by movie buffs to Bond films

Kanye West To Make Movie

Kanye West To Make Movie - Even though his fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, is just weeks away from landing on shelves, Kanye West is still cranking out gratis G.O.O.D. Music joints. Although cutting-edge spitters Kid Cudi and Jay-Z appear on the track, the Chicago MC's newest offering, "The Joy," is a nod to the past, featuring nude '70s vixen Pam Grier on the MP3 art, buttery production courtesy of beat kingpin Pete Rock, vocals from Charlie Wilson and a contribution from soul icon Curtis Mayfield.

Halloween History

Halloween History - Halloween’s history can be traced back to the Celtic festival Samhain, which means “summer’s end.” Samhain celebrates the end of what is considered the “lighter half” of the year (spring and summer) and the beginning of the “darker half” of the year (fall and winter). Halloween’s history and connection to ghosts, goblins and whatnot stems from the Celtic belief that during Samhain, the separation between our world and the Otherworld (the realm of the dead) became almost non-existant, allowing all sorts of spirits to pass from the Otherworld to our world. Both good and bad spirits were capable of coming to our world, so to ward the evil ones off, people would ware costumes and masks. By doing this, only the good spirits, believed to be of deceased loved ones, could come to the Celts’ homes. What about the actual word “Halloween?” Halloween is a variant of All Hallows Evening, which, on Oct. 31, is the day before All Hallows Day on Nov. 1. This was shortened to All H
