New Hyundai Accent 2011

The all-new Accent has been designed and engineered to provide power with fuel efficiency. The lightweight Gamma 1.6L engine uses continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) to deliver the precise air-fuel mixture required to meet engine demands and minimise fuel consumption. This, coupled with an aerodynamic body that minimises the coefficient of drag, adds up to a remarkable performance.

Egyptian Belly Dance Arrives In North Adelaide

Rediscover sensuality, tone up and have fun learning traditional and modern styles of belly dance direct from it’s home in Egypt.

Through Noura’s step-by-step teaching, students learn how to really dance, not just shake their hips, although there’s plenty of that of course. Styles covered range from the spontaneous and energetic Sha’abi to the well-known Sharqi or classical belly dance. The music is just as diverse: traditional Oriental, modern Arabic pop and even tunes likely to be heard belting out of a passing tuk-tuk.

Classes are held at VIP Dance Studio on cosmopolitan O’Connell Street on Monday nights and Saturday mornings. Both sessions run for one hour and are open to all. The Saturday session is slightly slower, tailored towards those new to dance, older dancers, recent mums, women getting ready for pregnancy and those with less mobility. Classes cost $15 or a block of five classes costs $65.

For more information visit www.nourabellydance.com or contact Noura on 0410 239 523 or noura@nourabellydance.com.

Celebrating 40 Years Of Service

Women For Wheels South Australia Inc

Where: Tea Tree Gully Golf Club, Fairview Park SA 5126

When: Saturday The 27th Of August From 7pm Until Midnight

A Brief History

Women for Wheels of SA Inc is a voluntary, non profit organisation providing Fire and Rescue expertise to Motorsport, administrated and crewed by members who have a love for Motorsport.

Women for Wheels was founded back in 1971 by a group of women whose husbands, boy friends and friends competed in motorsport of some form.

These women soon realised that the area of fire and rescue coverage at these events was limited to an individual who on the day was given the task as a fire marshal, by the simple question do you know what a fire extinguisher is? Good you can be a fire marshal today.

Quantity vs. quality: What wins with Twitter following?

The quality of your followers matters because Twitter authority impacts SEO rankings. Google discredits companies that have spam-like followers and gives recognition to companies that appear as authorities in their industries, with followers serving as a signal. Search Engine Land’s Danny Sullivan has explained that Twitter accounts are assigned a score by Google. Authoritative Twitter users get a better score. Then, if other highly ranked users link to your site, this can affect your score and ultimately, ranking on Google. Also, people in your target market are more likely to retweet your articles if you’re marked as an authority by fellow users. If the search engine understands your Twitter content is a trusted source of information, Google has said this can impact where a web page falls in rankings.

Customer Review Of Adrian Brien Automotive By Ben From Flagstaff Hill

My wife and I purchased a couple of cars from you on the weekend being a Captiva and a Suzuki.

I was dreading the whole process based on previous experiences and on 6 car yards we visited on the weekend unfortunately the experiences were not getting any better, apart from yourself. Although I could well have found suitable car options from most of the dealers we visited I chose to come back to you based on my initial experience.

I was very comfortable with your approach, assistance and very confident with you knowledge of cars. I had complete faith that you were providing me with the right selection of cars to suit my needs and if we did not find them immediately that you would  do the work to find more options.
