Ravijourmovie/YoutubeWell, the Japanese have done it again. Apparently this
tech-laden bra made by the lingerie company Ravijour will only unhook for
"true love."The "True Love Tester" bra can't be masterfully unhooked by
some skeevy player who hit on the wearer at a club. No,
this bra only comes undone when sensors embedded inside it that are
connected wirelessly to a smartphone app detect a particular heart rate
(video, safe for work).According to the Victoria's Secret-like company that
made the bra, Ravijour, a particular heart rate over time indicates "love."
And what do you know, they even have a graph comparing the
effects of jogging, shopping, eating spicy food and watching a horror movie
with "flirting" and "surprise gift" on a lady's heart. What better way
to acknowledge being "in love" than having your glittery bra fly open?Ravijour's
slogan is "We do anything for women." Apparently they do anything to
free the girls, too.Might not want to wear this thing around in
public, though. The dude-designed bra cups pop open pretty dramatically.

CARACAS, Venezuela One of Venezuela's most-prominent opposition bloggers,
whose English-language musings are a must-read for foreign journalists,
academics and political junkies, is leaving his beat as a chronicler of
the country's socialist revolution.Francisco Toro said that his decision
to cut ties with the Caracas Chronicles blog he co-founded reflects the
stagnation that has overtaken his homeland since former President Hugo Chavez's
death last year and which makes the country less interesting to write
about.When the blog began, in 2002, Chavez was a fast-rising, political
maestro who craftily leveraged the world's largest oil reserves to rally
anti-American sentiment in Latin America and other parts of the developing
world. A decade later, in the hands of his less charismatic successor
Nicolas Maduro, Toro says much of the revolution's influence has waned as
the economy reels from widespread shortages, 50 percent inflation and a
currency crisis."The truth is that like a lot of people I miss
Chavez," Toro, who was also a frequent contributor to the New York
Times, said in a telephone interview from his home in Montreal. "There's
no real hemispheric dimension anymore. Venezuela is so clearly not a model
that any sane person would want to emulate. It's just a local
story of a country gone crazy."The blog's other founder, Chile-based Juan
Cristobal Nagel, says the blog will soon be relaunched with new voices
including more women and

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">HagertyHagertyHagertyHagertyHagertyCertain cars just wont recede into the
automotive fossil record. Designers (particularly those from their company
of origin) keep going back to the well. And why not? Its
almost impossible to top the cars on this list:HagertyThe gorgeous Toyota
2000 GT sports car was a giant commercial flop when it was
introduced. The status of Japanese cars in the U.S. market at the
time was roughly the equivalent of Korean cars about 15 years ago,
and a Japanese car that cost more than a Jaguar E-Type, a
Corvette or a Porsche 911 found few takers. Just over 300 were
built and the models failure continues to haunt Toyota. The roofline and
greenhouse of the 1967 2000GT show up almost unaltered in the latest
Toyota sports car concept, the FT-1. Incidentally, Toyota has probably had
the last laugh here as the 2000 GT is now the only
Japanese collectible car worth $1 million.HagertyThe 67 Eldorado is one
of the great overlooked post-war American classics. A Bill Mitchell design
triumph, its an ageless design that wouldnt look out of place in
a showroom today, particularly since Cadillac continues to revisit the 67
Eldo rear end, one of the greatest -views of all time.HagertyThe original
Jeep CJ may well be the most knocked-off vehicle of all time,
inspiring the likes of the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, Suzuki
Samurai, etc., not to mention, of course, the current Jeep Wrangler.HagertyThe
E-Type was one of the
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. A 300-foot cellphone tower collapsed Saturday and minutes
later a smaller tower fell, killing two contractors and a firefighter, authorities
said.The contractors were tethered to the larger tower when it collapsed
in Clarksburg, State Police Cpl. Mark Waggamon said. A firefighter with
the Nutter Fort Fire Department was killed when he was walking from
his vehicle to the scene.Two other contractors working on the larger tower
were hurt and taken to a hospital. Waggamon described their injuries as
serious but not life-threatening.Waggamon said three of the workers were
more than 60 feet up on the tower. One of those workers
was killed along with a co-worker who was about 20 feet up
when the tower toppled.Two other workers at the site were not injured.Waggamon
said the weight of the collapsed tower put stress on guide wires
to the smaller tower.The crew was doing maintenance to strengthen the tower's
support when the accident occurred, Waggamon said. He said the federal Occupational
Safety and Health Administration will investigate.The towers are owned by
SBA Communications, which hired workers from S&S Communications to remove
the tall tower's diagonal supports and replace them with new ones. Phone
messages left with the companies were not returned Saturday evening.Steven
Thompson, a member of the Summit Park Volunteer Fire Department, said about
three dozen people from eight fire departments in the area responded. He
