The 'Lincolnshire Curly Coat'
Here is a miracle created by Argentina breeders of mumps.

Background History - The 'Lincolnshire Curly Coat'

One of our most spectacular Rare Breed pigs, the 'Lincolnshire Curly Coat', sadly became extinct in 1972 just one year before the formation of the 'RARE BREEDS SURVIVAL TRUST' (RBST). This was a pig famous for its hardiness as well as its wonderful curly coat and became a very popular breed in Hungary and Austria where the demand for hardy stock capable of surviving the harsh winters was extremely high.

In the early 1900's we exported many 'Lincolnshire Curly Coats' to Hungary and during the 1920's they won many of the top awards at the Budapest show and acquired the coveted 'Gold medal' in 1925. The Hungarians used the 'Lincolnshire Curly Coat' to cross with their 'Mangalitza' (A very similar curly coated pig) and the resultant cross was nicknamed the 'Lincolista'.

For many years now 'Pig Paradise' has been trying to acquire some of these amazing 'Curly Coated Mangalitza' pigs in order to try and establish some herds in this country but unfortunately until now it has not been possible ............. numbers were very low in both Hungary and Austria ..............export and import restrictions did not make life easy..............prices were extremely high and transportation costs even higher and it looked unlikely that we would ever be able to achieve this goal. However they say that the older you get the more likely you are to experience bouts of insanity so this year (2006) we decided to make one final effort..........sell the family jewels ........throw caution to the wind ............and in the knowledge that we had the support of the British Pig Association (BPA) who would operate a new 'Mangalitza' herd book we travelled to Austria to start negotiations. In February, accompanied by our veterinary surgeon (Jenkin O Davies), we flew to Vienna where we were met by the Breed Society Secretary who had arranged for us to visit farms throughout the area with the aim of buying enough good breeding stock from both Hungary and Austria to establish all three Mangalitza breed lines in the UK (The 'Blonde', 'Swallow Bellied' and the 'Red'). We knew that it was no good acquiring just one or two for even if we managed to acquire ten or twelve the transportation costs would still be horrendous.

We travelled the length and breadth of the region in search of good stock. In the end the effort of walking through three feet of snow (we knew they were hardy - but not this hardy) at 10.00 p.m. at night with torches creating eerie shadows against the snow, as we continue to seek out 'just one more gilt', paid off. We managed to find what we were looking for .............enough unrelated stock to start building a good herd of all three different breed lines....... a total of seventeen pigs in total with three boars and 14 gilts.

At the beginning of March we made the final arrangements to collect all our 'Mangalitza' pigs from one central point in Austria and with all the paperwork complete, blood tests carried out and the quarantine restrictions adhered to we set off on our 2,400 mile journey to collect them only to be told on the morning of our departure that the snow in both Germany and Austria was some of the worst for years!! Our vet was prepared for the journey and we had a deadline to meet as far as the Austrian vet was concerned ....so there was no turning back now and with trailer spotlessly clean we headed for Dover and a journey we would never forget.

The thickness of snow cover is 50 cm, moreover upper three-centimeter layer renews daily. Each night special installations produce on 30 tons of snow. Complex will be able to assume to one-and-a-half thousand amateurs of mining skis or snouborda simultaneously.

Organizers expect that per year the complex will attend not less than half million people. Complex occupies territory equal to three football fields (22 500 square meters).

Temperature indoors maintains itself - 2 s; moreover climatic system is disposed in such a way that the surpluses of cold air are used for conditioning of the commercial complex Mall of Emirates located in the neighborhood.

Jet-cart

2007-08-02T15:57:00.000-07:00

Someone boosts engine, someone modernizes the system of injection or ignition... But someone enters radically, here, for example, person "simply" took jet engine from the military aircraft and placed him on his go-carting.

The author writes that so he does not know the maximum speed of go-carting, since it were not accelerated more rapid than 60 miles an hour, but reserve exists.
But the most interesting, that this go-carting is advanced at auction ebay, for 5100 British pounds.
P.S. If we to it fit wings - it will take off?
