The included video player transmits first-person, high-definition video of trails, hills, and city streets in the majestic landscapes of northern Italy and the southwestern United States to a television. The treadmill automatically raises or lowers to simulate the incline of Venice’s cobblestone bridges as you stroll past gondolas docked on the Venetian Lagoon, the video automatically speeds up or slows down to match your pace, and the dual 5-watt speakers play the ambient sounds from the virtual destinations.
The treadmill has a durable 14-gauge steel frame and a large 20″ x 60″ running surface supported by a 1′ deck and patented cushioning that reduces impact on joints. Includes 15 workout programs, an integrated heart rate monitor and chest strap, an LED control panel, and an audio port for connecting an iPhone or iPod.

Actor Jean-Claude Van Damme recently dipped into a bar while on break from shooting scenes for The Expendables 2, and apparently the guy downs cocktails as fast as he delivers roundhouse kicks. A few hours of heavy drinking later and a boozed-up Van Damme found himself involved in an arm-wrestling match with another bar patron. He lost and went into glass-smashing rage after realizing his watch was missing, which we’re guessing he removed to arm wrestle. (If you’re waiting for a punch line, there isn’t one. This seriously happened.)
If you ever find yourself challenged to an arm-wrestling match by a buddy or some lout at a bar, we don’t want you losing or hurling glassware. To help you walk away victorious, we suggest you do two things: One, rewatch Sylvester Stallone’s Over the Top so you’re properly motivated. Two, use these tips and exercises from Allen Fisher, 26-time arm wrestling world champion.
Tip #1: Keep your arm and elbow as close to your body as possible to achieve greater leverage.
Tip #2: Rotate your arm inward toward your body when you get the jump on your opponent.
Tip #3: When you reach the halfway point, rotate your arm slightly outward, and shift into more of a pushing mode. This technique will rattle your opponent and get him off-balance for a quick finish.
Tip #4: Don’t use the ”roll over” technique from the movie. Sure, Stallone steamrolled people all the way to the top of the tournament, but if you losen your grip or lose concentration, you’ll lose.

A woman who survived a serious road crash when her car overturned in a ditch has said she owes her life to a loaf of bread.
Mother-of-two Liz Douglas, 51, said the Hovis loaf cushioned her head when her Nissan Note hatchback flipped over after hitting a telegraph pole.
The accident happened on the B829 near Inversnaid at about 5pm on Monday, while Mrs Douglas was on her way home to Stronachlachar, near Loch Lomond, from a shopping trip in Glasgow.

This is the stand that transforms an iPhone into a more comfortable cordless handset phone. With the handset in one hand, your other hand is free to navigate an iPhone’s applications, such as calendars, e-mail, and the Internet. An iPhone rests on a telephone base reminiscent of models from the 1930s, synchronizing with the base via Bluetooth while the cordless handset communicates with the base via DECT 6.0 wireless technology from up to 160′ indoors.
The handset places and receives calls, displaying each on its LCD while providing buttons for redial and speakerphone. It can recall up to 30 received calls and record up to 50 phone numbers.

About the size of a smart phone, this is the device that secures account information for website addresses, usernames, passwords, and ATM PINs, and stores them for immediate retrieval.
Unlike password information stored on a computer, your passwords are stored offline in the vault’s memory, ensuring sensitive information can never be compromised. The vault’s keyboard slides out–accounts and additional text notes can be typed after entering an initial password.
It can store up to 400 account records, mitigating the risky practice of leaving passwords on notes under keyboards or using one password for all accounts. Buttons scroll between accounts for display on the LCD. In case the device is misplaced, lost, or stolen, five unsuccessful attempts to access your accounts will lock the device for 30 minutes–your passwords are safely protected.
