HONDA HYBRID CR-Z TYPE R

What’s got us excited and curious is news that Honda is planning to make a CR-Z Type R. You read that correctly: a Type R hybrid.
The production version of the CR-Z will make its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show this November and go on sale in Japan in December.

A three-door hybrid that Honda billed as a performance vehicle for the environmentally conscious enthusiast. In the meantime, Honda has confirmed that the CR-Z is headed for production and slated to arrive on European and Japanese shores in 2010, with U.S. sales likely to begin sometime in 2011.

Honda refuses to confirm or deny the existence of a Type-R version of the CR-Z, and there's plenty of speculation about what could power the new hot hatch. Honda could take a play from the Accord Hybrid and boost the stock CR-Z's gasoline-electric drivetrain, or, if Turner's mention of a gasoline-only model is to be believed, fit the CR-Z Type-R with a revised version of Honda's K20 inline-four.

	Either way, expect the production version of the Honda CR-Z to debut at this year's Tokyo Motor Show and keep your fingers crossed that a Type-R variant gets some space on the stage. [via GtChannel]

SPIDER CAKES

I'd suggest you make this cake for your Valentine Day's party. I want to see if your partner run in fear or stare in fascination at this rather hideous spider cake. If you are opening a cake house or going to someone’s party, you can try making some of these spiders cake.






Check out how to make one. I’ll definitely eat them if you make one for me.

Ingredients:
-8 regular Pocky sticks (chocolate covered biscuit sticks)
-8 candy eyes
-Dark melting chocolate (melted)
-1 Hostess Ding Dong

Directions:

Spider Legs
1) Slice off the cookie end of the Pocky so the white cookie will not show.
2) Cut the Pocky in half at an angle.
3) Dip one end of both halves of the Pocky stick in the melted dark chocolate.
4) Secure the Pocky halves together at an angle and let the leg dry on a sheet of parchment paper. * Refrigerate the leg for quicker drying.
5) Repeat 7 times. There should be 8 legs total.

Spider Body
1) Glue eight candy eyes onto one side of the Hostess Ding Dong.
2) Use a knitting needle to pre-poke holes into the Hostess Ding Dong to attach the legs.
3) Attach the legs by poking them into the pre-poked holes.
