Tiens BCM (Blood circulatory Massager)

Tiens Blood Circulating Massager is one of the unique feature of the Chinese Traditional Healthcare. It indicates that our feet hold the most important microcirculation networks, and it plays a role in promoting blood and Qi circulation. This machine integrates acupuncture to stimulate the pressure points on the feet and palm to balance a healthy circulation of the whole body, unfortunately with the progression of the modern technology, our feet have been stimulated less and less; elevators take us upstairs, cars take us to work and computers keep us sitting all day long.

Symptoms of poor circulation can range from Raynaud’s disease through varicose veins to chest pains and leg pains in cases of severe arteriosclerosis (thickening and loss of elasticity of the artery walls). Poor circulation is particularly prevalent in those who are overweight or who consume too much alcohol.

The video below features the range of Tiens Blood Circulative Massagers, including the Luxury Blood Circulative Massager

Some of the most common symptoms of poor circulation are:

• Calf muscles cramping (including whilst asleep)


• Cold feet and/or hands


• Aching, swollen and tired feet


• Cramping in the feet, legs and buttocks that occurs whilst active and improves with rest


• Varicose veins


• Hands and feet ‘fall asleep’


• Skin becomes discoloured i.e. red, blue or pale


• Infections may be slow to heal or may not heal at all

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Pricing Announced

A couple of months ago, we noted that Aston Martin had upgraded the V8 Vantage for 2012. After all, even the entry-level sybarite doesn't want to feel abandoned by the luxe maestros in Gaydon, and Gaydon doesn't want them to feel slighted.

We previously mentioned the upgraded self-shifting transmission, which receives a seventh gear, as well as the quicker steering ported over from the Vantage S. But the new V8 Vantage also receives hill-start assist for effortless profiling in San Francisco and tires with a 10-millimeter-wider center section.

Aston has now made U.S. pricing official: The V8 Vantage coupe starts at $118,370, while the drop-top roadster model will cost $132,870. The hotter Vantage S features 430 hp, 361 lb-ft of torque, a rortier exhaust and some carbon-fiber flair. Aston-aspirant sporting gentlemen shall pony up $137,670 or walk away empty-handed.

Audi to Announce Ducati Purchase as Early as Next Week

Deal could be announced prior to Audi's annual shareholders meeting in Hamburg, Germany.

The last we visited the report that Audi was looking into acquiring Ducati, it was a well-churned rumor. It's now being reported, according to Reuters (via Automotive News), thatAudi has finished due diligence on the deal and will report its purchase as early as next week, prior to Audi's annual shareholder's meeting in Hamburg on April 18th.

Investindustrial, Ducati's main shareholder, agreed to speak with Audi exclusively, according to the report; that agreement would terminate on April 15th according to Italian newspaperCorriere della Sera, after which point the firm would be free to entertain other suitors. Ironically, it was Investindustrial who trumped Audi's attempt to purchase Ducati back in 2005 when it was owned by Texas Pacific Group.

Neither of the two unnamed internal sources who spurred today's report would comment on purchase price, though a price tag of $1.1 billion -- includeing about $850 million in acquired debt -- was attached to the earlier rumors.

Ducati's expertise in powerful, lightweight engines could be a boon to Audi's parent company, Volkswagen Group, whose engineering portfolio includes everything from cars to ship engines.

Zipcar to Add more Honda Vehicles to Fleet

Honda on Wednesday said that it will expand the number of its models available through the Zipcar car-sharing service.

The agreement between the companies will add more Honda Insight hybrids to the Zipcar fleet, as well as moreCR-V compact SUVs. The Fit EV will arrive in the fleet this fall, and Accord plug-in sedans will come in early 2013, according to the company.

The Zipcar service has more than 670,000 members and 8,900 vehicles in urban areas in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Spain.

"The future of mobility is being shaped by economic forces, evolving technology and global trends, from increased urbanization to concerns about climate change, to how the newest generation of drivers thinks about transportation," said Scott Griffith, chairman of Zipcar. "This win-win partnership with Honda adds to Zipcar's array of smart and sustainable transportation options."

New Porsche Cayenne GTS Revealed

Porsche unveiled its second-generation Cayenne GTS on Tuesday in a series of photographs ahead of its world premiere at the Beijing motor show later this month.

Set for North American sale in August, the sporting SUV slots into the Porsche lineup between the existing Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo, with a price of $83,025 including shipping charges. 

Among the visual changes for the GTS is a Cayenne Turbo-style front bumper, unique sills underneath the doors and a twin-vane wing atop the tailgate. Helping to lend the new model a more aggressive air is a 0.9-inch reduction in ride height over the Cayenne S--something Porsche is keen to point out also reduces the crucial center of gravity for what it describes as "adding handling prowess." 

Like its predecessor, the new Cayenne GTS continues to be powered by a naturally aspirated version of Porsche's in-house-designed and -produced 4.8-liter V8. But it is now mated to a standard eight-speed automatic gearbox instead of the six-speed manual unit used by first-generation model launched in 2008, with drive channeled permanently to all four wheels.

 Power is up by 14 hp, rising from 400 hp to 414 hp, or 20 hp more than the Cayenne S, which runs a detuned version of the same engine. Porsche has not yet divulged a torque figure for the latest addition to its existing five-strong Cayenne lineup, but expect it to be in the region of 384 lb-ft.

What Porsche does confirm is a slight straight-line performance gain over the old Cayenne GTS; the new model is claimed to sprint from 0 to 62 mph 0.4 second faster than its manual-gearbox-equip​ped predecessor, at 5.7 seconds. That is 0.8 second faster than the old model with its optional six-speed automatic gearbox. Porsche also says that the new GTS will run from 0 to 100 mph in 13.3 seconds and tops out at 162 mph.

With new fuel-saving features such as automatic stop/start and brake-energy recuperation, average fuel consumption has improved by 6.2 mpg, to 22.0 mpg on the European test cycle.

The Cayenne GTS rolls on a standard steel-sprung suspension, but owners can opt for an optional air suspension that can be combined with Porsche's Dynamic Corning Control, an antiroll system that employs hydraulically controlled stabilizer bars to reduce lean.

Inside, the latest Porsche model gets standard eight-way adjustable front sport seats trimmed in Alcantara.
