Meet the Guy Who Raced a Ferrari F40



Meet the Guy Who Raced a Ferrari F40
He's also an Italian exotic car specialist, possibly one of the best jobs in the world.

The Ferrari F40 is a very special car. Simply put, there’s nothing quite like it. A true one-of-a-kind; immensely powerful yet comes with no traction control or other fancy electronics. It should be handled only by those who really know what they’re doing. Otherwise, well, we’ve seen too many F40 crashes over the years. But for John Pogson, racing an F40 is in his blood. He became a Ferrari mechanic at a young age, but soon left the repair and maintenance side of the business for racing.

In the 1990s, he raced the beloved F40…and lived to talk about the experience. Pogson also runs his own Italian exotic car shop, appropriately named Italia Autosport. He's a true petrolhead in every possible way.

WWE News: CM Punk Return, Brock Lesnar Update



With WWE and CM Punk finally reaching some sort of deal late last month, which was to sell CM Punk merchandise on the WWE’s website, wrestling fans had hoped that this was the first step to a Punk return to WWE, and that the deal meant Punk and WWE were now on good terms. Sadly, this isn’t the case.


Former UFC middleweight Chael Sonnen, one of Punk’s close friends, spoke to former WWE play-by-play announcer Jim Ross on his podcast You’re Welcome, and Sonnen told Ross that he had recently asked Punk if he was ever going back to WWE. Punk answered the WWE return question by saying “no, never.”



Sonnen expanded on his conversation with Punk when talking to Ross, and added that he didn’t know if Punk was working him or being truthful when he said he’s “never going back to WWE.”


“I talk to Punk a lot. I never know, when it comes to [Punk's] profession, and when I ask him ‘Hey what are you gonna do? Are you ever gonna go back?’ I don’t know when he’s working me, or when he’s telling me it straight. [Punk] says he’s done. He has stuck to this story and I can’t get him to bend.”

Ross responded to Chael by saying this in regards to CM Punk.

“I think he’s done. I think the thing about it is if you go back and do the math, [Punk] has been in the business a long, long time because he started as a teenager.


“The business educated him, the business allowed him to travel, the business allowed him to have a very unique social life. He, himself is a very unique guy in that he’s one of the very few wrestlers that I’ve known in my four decades in the business that didn’t drink, no drugs, no booze, no cigarettes, no tobacco of any kind. [Punk] is legit straight edge. That put him in a minority. That kind of ostracized him from the masses.



“He’s very, very well-read, he’s very cerebral. That ostracized him from the masses. So he was always sort of an outcast. But the friends that he has he’s very loyal to, and they to him. But he was just a different breed of cat when he was in the locker room.



“I loved his work, I think he has great psychology. I think that in the old territory days that [Punk] would have made a great booker because he has great ideas and he’s got a very vivid imagination.



“I know that he had a lot of really good years financially, I know that because he starved, and wrestled for little or no money for years and just got by, that when he started making big cash he knew that it wasn’t going to last forever and he was going to save it. And he did. So I think financially [Punk] is very secure, and I think he has a lot of diverse interests. So many wrestlers are one dimensional, and they need wrestling. [Punk] isn’t one of them.”


WWE and Brock Lesnar are currently negotiating a new deal in hopes to get it done long before WrestleMania 31 in March.


When Lesnar won the WWE championship at SummerSlam in August the original plan was to have Lesnar destroy everyone on his way to WrestleMania 31 and eventually have Roman Reigns be the one who ends Lesnar’s reign of terror.



Now the original plan all depends on whether or not Lesnar decides to re-sign with WWE. The rumor is that WWE thinks the current Lesnar contract is too expensive for the limited amount of days that he works. It’s unlikely that Lesnar will take any less money or work more dates for the same amount of money he’s making now.



If Lesnar doesn’t re-sign with WWE before the Royal Rumble in January, the WrestleMania 31 plans will be changed, and Lesnar will drop the title to John Cena at the Royal Rumble, changing the WrestleMania 31 main event to John Cena vs. Roman Reigns, with Reigns likely picking up the win.



Brock Lesnar’s next WWE television appearance is scheduled for December 8. It’s still yet to be determined what kind of role and impact he’ll have on the show, but it’s likely he’ll have some kind of face-to-face interaction with John Cena.


Vatican document challenges Church to change attitude to gays

Vatican document challenges Church to change attitude to gays




In a dramatic shift in tone, a #Vatican document said that 

homosexuals had gifts and qualities to offer and asked if 


Catholicism could accept gays and recognize positive aspects of 

#gay couples








VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - In a dramatic shift in tone, a Vatican document said on Monday that homosexuals had "gifts and qualities to offer" and asked if Catholicism could accept gays and recognize positive aspects of same-sex couples.
Roman Catholic gay rights groups around the world hailed the paper as a breakthrough, but Church conservatives called it a betrayal of traditional family values.
The document, prepared after a week of discussions at an assembly of 200 bishops on the family, said the Church should challenge itself to find "a fraternal space" for homosexuals without compromising Catholic doctrine on family and matrimony.
While the text did not signal any change in the Church's condemnation of homosexual acts or gay marriage, it used less judgmental and more compassionate language than that seen in Vatican statements prior to the 2013 election of Pope Francis.
"Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer the Christian community: are we capable of welcoming these people, guaranteeing to them a further space in our communities? Often they wish to encounter a Church that offers them a welcoming home," said the document, known by its Latin name "relatio".
"Are our communities capable of proving that, accepting and valuing their sexual orientation, without compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony?" it asked.
New Ways Ministry, a leading U.S. Catholic gay rights group, called it a "major step forward", praising it for being devoid of the "major gloom and doom and apocalyptic horror" that accompanied past Vatican pronouncements on homosexuals.


Bishops and cardinals attend a synod of bishops lead by Pope Francis in Paul VI's hall at the Vatica …
The London-based Catholic gay rights group QUEST called parts of it "a breakthrough in that they acknowledge that such unions have an intrinsic goodness and constitute a valuable contribution to wider society and the common good."
"BETRAYAL"
But John Smeaton, co-founder of the conservative group Voice of the Family, said: "Those who are controlling the synod have betrayed Catholic parents worldwide." He called it "one of the worst official documents drafted in Church history".
The Vatican document will be the basis for discussion for the second and final week of the bishops' assembly, known as a synod. It will also serve for further reflection among Catholics around the world ahead of another, definitive synod next year.
A number of participants at the closed-door gathering have said the Church should tone down its condemnatory language when referring to gay couples and avoid phrases such as "intrinsically disordered" when speaking of homosexuals.
That was the phrase used by former Pope Benedict in a document written before his election, when he was still Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and head of the Vatican's doctrinal department.
The language and tone of Monday's document, read to the assembly in the presence of Pope Francis, appeared to show that the advocates of a more merciful tone toward homosexuals and Catholics in so-called "irregular situations" -- such as unmarried couples living together -- had prevailed.
It said that the 1.2 billion-member Church should see the development of its position on homosexuals as "an important educational challenge" for the global institution.
While the Church continued to affirm that gay unions "cannot be considered on the same footing as matrimony between man and woman", it should recognize that there could be positive aspects to relationships in same-sex couples.
"Without denying the moral problems connected to homosexual unions it has to be noted that there are cases in which mutual aid to the point of sacrifice constitutes a precious support in the life of the partners," the document said.
The paper also said there were "constructive elements" to heterosexual couples who were married only in civil services or who were living together, but stressed that Church marriages were "the ideal".
Pope Francis has said the Church must be more compassionate with homosexuals, saying last year: "If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge."
The Church teaches that while homosexual tendencies are not sinful, homosexual acts are.

Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive Is Penélope Cruz

Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive Is Penélope Cruz



More beautiful than ever at 40, the Oscar winner — she received the golden statuette for her fiery performance in Vicky Cristina Barcelona — is now part of an elite club of gorgeous stars who have also been bestowed with the "sexiest alive" title. Past honorees include Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Angelina Jolie, Rihanna, Minka Kelly, Halle Berry, Kate Beckinsale, Charlize Theron, and Jessica Biel. 
Berry was 42 at the time she took the title, making her the oldest winner to date. Johansson, who happens to have starred alongside Cruz in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, is the magazine's only two-time selection, having won in 2013 and 2006.




So, why Cruz? Though the Spanish siren has shown off her sultry side in such films as Vanilla Sky, The Counselor, and To Rome With Love, she and her husband, Javier Bardem, keep a relatively low profile in Hollywood, which makes her something of a surprising pick for the Esquiretitle. We haven't really seen much of Penélope since she and Javier tied the knot in 2010 and became the parents to a now 3-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter. And true to form, the actress — who is among those rumored to be Daniel Craig's next Bond girl — remained tight-lipped on just about everything during her interview with Esquire as well, only saying that family is everything to her and the reason she seems to have gone off the radar. But perhaps the mystery surrounding her personal life is part of her allure.




 


While few would argue that Cruz is among the sexiest ladies on planet Earth, it can't be easy forEsquire editors to declare one woman the world's most desirable. Sofia Vergara would certainly have been a fine choice. Not to mention Kate Upton. And Beyoncé. And Hollywood "It" girl Emily Ratajkowski. And, well, a lot of beautiful women. (See, we told you it wasn't an easy decision.)
