Animal Weight Categories – What Are You?
Sometimes we have to face the truth (despite it being easier to ignore). That’s why this Animal Weighing Scale won’t tell you exactly how much you weigh, instead they will make a rough comparison…
Just hop on the scale and you’ll be told your weight by way of a regular animal. So for a mere £25.99 (about R314), you can find out if you’re up there with the baby rabbit, duck, pig or bear! Get it in a variety of colours over here.
How To Pack a Harder Punch
OK, tough guy, you think you know how to throw down? You could probably use a few tips on how to punch with maximum power. Here they are, courtesy of Ross Enamait, a boxing trainer and former boxer in Connecticut, USA.
In addition to being skills that could save your life one day, punches can make you leaner: You can put combinations of these punches together to make up your own shadowboxing cardio workout.
JAB
The jab is thrown with the lead hand. Begin with the knees slightly bent, feet staggered, chin down, and hands raised by the sides of your face (start from this basic fighting position before throwing any punch). Push off your back foot and snap the jab out quickly. The lead foot will slide forward slightly before impact. For maximum power, twist your arm in a corkscrew motion before landing.
CROSS
Also called the “straight right hand” (if you’re right-handed), it starts from the face and follows an imaginary straight line directly into the target. Drive and pivot from the rear foot, rotating the hips forcefully as your body weight shifts toward the front foot. Extend your right arm toward the target, snapping your wrist downward. On impact, the palm is down and the knuckles up.
HOOK
Shift your weight toward the rear leg as you rotate forcefully to that side and pivot inward on the ball of your front foot. At the same time, whip the lead arm toward the target in an L shape (the elbow should be bent about 90 degrees). Turn your hips into the punch. You can angle your hand one of two ways: vertically, so your palm faces you on impact, or horizontally, so the palm faces the floor (as shown).
UPPERCUT
Subtly shift your weight to the hip on the side of the rear leg. Dip that side’s shoulder as you crouch down a bit. Next, with the palm up and the arm bent 90 degrees, forcefully rotate toward the side of your lead leg and push off the ball of your back foot, driving the punch upward (aim for the chin of your imaginary opponent). On impact, your palm should face your chest.
Finally if you want to see how it’s done, come to the Mixed Martial Arts Invasion Event! You can event Win VIP Tickets courtesy of iDale!
Event: Mixed Martial Arts Invasion
We’ve all heard of or seen mixed martial arts from the guy with the bruised nose or on TV. But just like any sport, it’s just not the same hearing a second hand story or watching it on a little cube in the living room – you need to be there!
And now you can because iDale is giving away some tickets and goodies to the next MMA Invasion event… watch this space and check out the flyer…
That’s Saturday 5th December, just in case you missed it!

The Living Landscape Sofa is Super Supple
Where are sofas usually placed in a room and what does it have to look like to allow complex use of space? To answer these questions, the EOOS team analyzed several hundreds of ground plans and found that sofas are typically positioned like walls – inflexibly and dividing a room. Not anymore…
Living Landscape by EOOS detaches individual elements from the conventional “sofa wall”: all corner elements can be rotated through 90 degrees, allowing not only for entirely new perspectives, but also for the completely flexible use of space in response to the most varied situations.
Come on! How slick is that?
Volkswagen GTi Adverts Will Make You Moist!
BIG Advertising in Beijing, China put together these great ads for the Golf GTI. I’m trying to understand if these people saw the car or went for a spin in it…?
Corvette’s Sleek Stingray Concept
There aren’t many automotive designs that have endured as well as the Corvette Stingray. Now, 50 years later, some design challenges and tributes have started to trickle through to commemorate one of the great sports cars of all time…
The design here pays homage to the classic shape of the Stingray with the long, sleek hood and bulging fenders. Other design touches include a clamshell hood, scissor-style doors, ergonomic seats, rear-view camera with night vision enhancement, and a high performance hybrid drive!
Light Up Your Phone Line
Did you know that the trickle of power a normal phone line carries (even if out of service) is apparently enough to light up this LED desk lamp?
The little phone plug is called an “RJ11 connector” and for just $4.69 (about R30) the lampcan be used as a handy emergency light for your next power outage. Who cares that it’s pink!? Get yours here.
