Luxul este "un rau" la care cei mai multi dintre noi doar viseaza. Exista si oameni cu adevarat norocosi, care isi permit sa arunce cu bani pe orice produs extravagant. In cazul unor produse enumerate mai jos, opulenta este dusa la extrem, iar simtul realitatii aproape ca dispare in fata aurului si a diamantelor.
Produse scumpe si denumite "de lux" sunt o multime pe piata de consum, insa cele cu adevarat intangibile sunt doar cateva. Iata o lista a celor mai scumpe produse din lume, la ora actuala:
 
Apa - 45.000 de euro

Cea mai scumpa sticla cu apa din lume are pretul de 45.000 de euro. Produsul se numeste "The Acqua di Cristallo Tribute a Modigliani". Sticla este acoperita cu aur, iar apa este un amestec din apa franceza, insulele Fiji si apa glaciara din Islanda. Designul ii apartine mexicanului Fernando Altamorano, cel care in trecut a conceput si cea mai scumpa sticla de coniac din lume.

Bicicleta poate parea un mijloc de transport modest pentru oamenii bogati. Insa nu si de acum inainte. Compania Crown Saddle a conceput cea mai scumpa sa din lume.

 Two Swimmers Used This Minor Change To Swim Quicker

Brenton Ford
To Me
Today at 7:30 AM
In Australia there was an ad for taco shells. (Stay with me, it relates to swimming!)

A family is standing around a dining table, trying to figure out how to make a taco stay upright.

The father tries a toothpick on either side of the shell for balance without much success.

After some thinking, his son asks the obvious question..."What if it had a flat bottom?"

That 'aha' moment is what I hope you'll get from this week's video.

It's about how two swimmers are using this small change to their stroke to swim faster, and how you can too.


Watch the video here

can you guess it from this picture?

Spice Up The Lunge With Some External Rotation!
SANTA CLARA, California. MANY swimmers lack rotation and extension, mainly due to overactivity of their shoulder internal rotators combined with the amount of sitting performed by the average person. This dynamic lunge with rotation exercise, introduced by COR founder G. John Mullen, looks to increase thoracic rotation and extension while providing a dynamic movement to combat shoulder internal rotation.

Pursley Pep Talks: Just For The Heck of It!
One of the required sets for all of the swimmers in one of our national team camps was a 3,000-meter swim for time. While this may have been a routine set for some of the distance swimmers, it was a shock to the system for the sprinters. In the age of race-specific training, many would argue that there was no purpose or benefit for the sprinters to do that kind of a set. I disagree.

FINA Announces World Cup Stops For 2014, No Competition In Berlin
BERLIN, Germany. AFTER German news channel N24 already reported about it yesterday, with the announcement of the FINA Swimming World Cup stops, it now is confirmed that Berlin will not be hosting a World Cup in 2014. According to N24, this is probably due to the fact that Berlin will already host the LEN Long Course European Championships in August.
