New York at Night

Jason Hawkes likes to photograph the world from above, and he has been doing that since 1991. In college, all he wanted to be was a studio photographer, but all that changed after a flight in a small aircraft. "I realized that, with a little attitude, you see all these amazing patterns - even mundane things look intriguing," said Hawkes.

The British photographer spent 15 weeks using state of the art technology to create these dramatic shots for his new book, New York At Night.

"The images of New York were shot on Nikons latest camera, the D3S, using three gyro stabilizing mounts and flown using twin star helicopters. We flew from heights of just over 500 ft up to 2,500-ft with no doors on, it was very very cold."

2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R

Kawasaki has just officially pulled the wraps off its 2011 ZX-10R literbike, and the specifications are impressive. According to the Japanese company, the 2011 ZX10R will put out 197 horsepower (207 with ram air in full effect) and weigh just 436 pounds. That means it just barely has a better power-to-weight ratio than the previously all-conquering BMW S 1000 RR, which makes 193 horses and weighs about 450 pounds. Sadly, the American version of the bike, while still impressive, is expected to put out roughly 10 fewer ponies... dang the EPA!




Equally as important as those raw figures are the high-tech components and electronic bits and pieces that are intended to keep everything in line when the going gets tough. First on that list are an Ohlins steering damper and Showa's Big Piston Forks up front. At the aft end, a new horizontally mounted rear shock is said to improve mass-centralization and smooth out damper's rear action. As with most modern bikes, there are three power modes (Full, Middle and Low) intended to match horsepower requirements with riding condition realities.



On the gee-whiz front, Sport Kawasaki TRaction Control, or S-KTRC, is standard on the $13,799 2011 ZX-10R and promises to make the bike both faster and safer by monitoring both the front and rear ends every five milliseconds and allowing some amount of tire slippage and even power-on wheelies. If that weren't enough, there will also be an optional Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS, seriously, for an extra $1,000) that keeps the tires from locking and also minimizes the rear wheel's tendency to lift off the pavement.



Now that all the techy bits are covered, take a look at the new Ninja's styling. Naturally, everything is painted up in Kawasaki's trademark neon green and black motif, but the overall look is sharper and more aggressive than before. Note the pointy snout with ram-air duct and integrated LED light that matches the new LED-equipped mirror/turn signal assemblies. It's a pretty slick looking package, we'd say.

Small Business Ideas Are All Around You

Small Business Ideas Are All Around You




The right small business ideas can make a big difference in your life even if you aren't the type who usually thinks of himself as an entrepreneur. After all, starting a small business does not have to be a full-time occupation. A good friend of mine got a small business grant to start a part time auto detailing business. All it really involved was updating some of his automotive supplies, renting a store front, and going in after work a couple days a week. It made him a fair bit of extra cash, and best of all he was able to keep his old job while he was doing it. That way, while he was working on starting a small business, he still had a way to pay the bills.





Even without a good small business idea, you can own your own business. Starting a franchise or even an independent store can be the beginning of a lucrative career with a little bit of luck. Nonetheless, the right small business ideas really make a difference. With the growth of the Internet, many small craft businesses have been springing up lately. Nowadays, you don't need to have local stores willing to sell your products. All you need is something that you think people will buy. If you can make it in your own workshop, you can ship it out from your house all over the country.



Of course, small business ideas do not have to involve something completely new. Sometimes a small business idea is as simple as coming up with a new way to advertise something. If you are opening a restaurant, bar, coffee shop, or something else in the food service sector , all you have to do is find the right niche. As long as you can find a particular kind of client who appreciates your look and the food you have to offer, you can make a tidy profit. Few people make it big in the restaurant industry, but the right small business ideas can at least help you make your living doing something you love.



The very best small business ideas are sometimes the ones that no one else will believe in. Even if you can't find a small business loan or grant at first, persevere. If your idea for a small business is as good as you think it is, someone will notice you. It is only a matter of time.
