The Uno
The Uno’s custom hoops aren’t front and rear like a motorcycle’s, but side by side, rising and falling independently over the road as it leans.
The inventor is 19-year-old Ben J. Poss Gulak, who in 2006 took at 3 week trip with his family to China and saw all the pollution and decided he wanted to help do something about it. He put college plans on hold and set out to create a non-polluting vehicle that had style.
At Toronto’s National Motorcycle Show in March, he showed the Uno off to Russell Mitchell of Exile Cycles, a custom bike builder and a veteran of Speed Channel’s “Build or Bust” series, who jumped aboard and cruised with no trouble.
He will go to Shanghai to talk with a company about developing the bike and possibly putting it into production. At the moment, he is fine tuning the Uno.

What is on Sarah Jessica Parker’s head?
May 12, 2008 by Jessica · 3 Comments
At the UK premiere of “Sex and the City”, Sarah Jessica Parker shows up with a hat that is hideous. What the hell was her stylist thinking, can you imagine sitting behind her at the premiere trying to look around that thing. The dress is great but the hat just totally makes her outfit an ”F”.
Scrubs is back!

Zack Braff posted on his MySpace page that Scrubs will be returning and moving from NBC to ABC.
Here is his post:

Subject: Scrubs moves to ABCDear friends,
Many of you have been understandably confused by the Fairy Tale episode of Scrubs serving as the series finale. It was not. I was not allowed to say it until today, but Scrubs will be moving to ABC for its final season. We are currently filming the 8th and final season. The true finale of the show will air on ABC in the fall. NBC merely promoted the Fairy Tale episode as the finale, as it was the last episode they owned.
Also, several of you were very confused by the fact that Dr. Kelso and Laverne were still working at the hospital in the Fairy Tale episode. Because of the writer’s strike, the last remaining episodes for NBC were aired out of order. This is why Dr. Kelso was still chief of medicine. That was not Laverne however, for those of you who have been following closely; it was a new nurse “Shirley” who no one thinks looks anything like Laverne except for JD.
Hope this clears some things up.
peace and love,
zb
