|I know this is about Angel's Trumpets, but where else do I ask about Devil's Trumpets? I know Devil's Trumpet is poisonous, but whatever is eating it doesn't know it. Nor does it/do they seem to be dying from the effort.
Two weeks ago, they stripped the leaves off the plants. Last week, we had our first bloom, albeit the bottom was cut off a bit, because that was chewed on, before it bloomed. We had two more blooms since and three new buds. (The photo shows the third bloom.) Last night, something pulled the buds off and left them on the bottom of the pot.
Any clues what's going on or how to deal with this? They're poisonous! This shouldn't be happening without little dead bodies somewhere near by. lol
I know. I keep thinking, "It's poisonous! This can't happen!" BUT, it has.

|Do you see white cabbage moths (small butterflies) floating around your gardens? They're the ones doing the dirty work! They lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves of both Brugs and Daturas (they're cousins) and the little green worms eat happily away, mostly at night. You can see them if you look closely. Spray with BT (bacillus thuringensis)or hand pick. By the way- your photos didn't show up! Could be the buds were ready to fall off. They land all over the place.

Young Scooter & Gucci Mane – Work | Music Video
The ATL is in the building today as Young Scooter and Gucci Mane return to the scene today with a new video for their track "Work". The fellas show off their southern rhyme skills on this one rather nicely while getting a nice set of visuals to go along with it.
The clip was produced by Zaytoven and the video finds the fellas deep in the streets as they put in that "Work". Check out the video after the jump and speak about it down below.

|I am in the process of creating a somewhat native/wildlife back yard. Oaks and pines there already. Added Juneberry, dogwood, and redbud trees as well as perrenials like lobelia, scabiosa, phlox, and a variety of herbs. I have a small, shallow saucer that I try to keep filled (it evaporates quickly in the summer)that is suspended on my fence. Are there any other suggestions for a "water source" for wildlife? What do you think is the best? Fountain? Small pond? I don't have a lot of room and my professions deals with mosquito-borne disease, so I need something that I can easily treat or empty every week!
Thanks for your thoughts
Follow-Up Postings:
|I have shallow saucers about 2" deep and 18" across that I suspend milk jugs with a drip over - the birds and animals love them and are easily attracted to them. I clean them at least every other day, which is basically a quick scrub and swish. It's not tough to add to the daily yard routine.
I also have a 1/2 barrel pond with a small fountain and some feeder goldfish - I change the water maybe twice a summer and the fountain keeps it moving so that no skeeters can survive. Some birds drink from them, but its the frogs that show up from nowhere that we really enjoy :)
|We have an extra large dog dish, made of heavy plastic. Its about 5 inches deep, and the basin must be 10 inches wide. The local wildlife loves it. It is very easy to pick up and scrub out. If necessary, we can even bring it indoors and wash it in the sink with hot water & detergent. The dish is positioned on a sidewalk, so it doesn't kill the grass.
|I have a flattish metal tub about 12 inches in diameter and 4 inches deep--it sits on a flat rock near one of the birdfeeders and is sort of at an angle so that it's not one big deep bath. The birds like it a lot! Last weekend I bought a "real" birdbath at the local crafts fair--leaf shaped and made of concrete, on a copper tripod. It's sturdy and pretty--hope the critters are attracted to it too! The pan I just spray out with the hose and refill when it goes dry or gets yucky--every 2-3 days.

|I have one of those free standing 'patio ponds' that you can buy in many larger garden centers. I thinks it holds 39 gallons but I might be off. Its ment to say on a patio above ground but I have it in my shrubby hedge boarder I made running along my property line between the neighbors house and mine. Still above ground so that to empty it, I just tip it over. I put feeder goldfish in there that eat any mosquito larva, no problem. I also have some branches placed in there so that birds can sit on a branch and drink.
Its a very popular spot with birds visiting on and off all day. At night the local racoons go swimming in there as if it was their own private pool.
I also have bird baths and a half barrel type (plastic) on the other side of the yard which are also popular drinking spots.
|Thanks for the insights. Birds and squirrels tend to visit my birdbath regularly. Does anyone have opinions on something at ground level? What additional animals could/would this attract? Should I have more than one water source so there is enough to go around? Is it worth it, or should I just stick with my elevated birdbath?
|I have found that my ground level baths get more action than anything higher - I have never had customers at baths much more than a foot off the ground. I have three saucers in the yard plus the barrel, and different birds like different ones. The chickadees and titmice actually prefer to drink from the ant baffles on my hummer feeders - go figure!
|We have a cement bird bath bowl without the pedestal set below a gutter drain. I keep a mosquito dunk in it and fill it with a hose when it doesn't rain. Birdies love it.

|For Christmas I got a heated birdbath. It's got a three-legged steel support and a wide shallow plastic dish that sits on it, about 3 feet off the ground. I put it on the brick walk in the winter so it was close to the electric outlet but seldom saw a bird use it. I have moved it into the rose bed next to the water faucet and it is in constant use now. I hose it out and fill it daily but this weekend hope to hook up the dripper I bought for it. I'll still need to rinse it out regularly but that should keep it filled. It's a blast to watch the birds splash and preen.
|I have a 1500 gallon built-in wildlife pond w/ waterfall (moving water helps with attracting things) in my double lot yard. It attracts the local box turtles, tons of dragon flys & other insect as well as a myriad of birds. The most unusual is the sharp-shin hawk which has bathed there the past 2 winters. The squirrels & other local mammals also use it. We keep a red eared slider & a native mud turtle as well as native fish. We also have mosquito fish (gambusia) & have had no problems with mosquitos. We keep the fish in our rainbarrels too & they are equally free of larvae.
It sounds like you have room & if so I would definitely advocate a pond. It does take some maintenance but I would say it can't be beat for wildlife attracting ability. If you do make one be sure to put in a shallow area for the birds to bathe in.
We collect rainwater to fill ours & suplement with city water if absolutely neccesary.

|Chiming in with my two cents! Using the feeder goldfish is great, but they eat the dragonfly larvae as well as the mosquito larvae, so you may want to go with those mosquito dunks which supposedly only kill the mosquito larvae.
Also, placing a rock in the middle of any of the smaller shallow dishes will attract the butterflies to drink as well, since they need extremely shallow water.
Just wanted to point out that mammals and birds are not our only wildlife!
|Nothing beats a pond with a waterfall. Most birds and wildlife are attracted to water by sound. I have a small pond that holds about 250 to 275 gal. with a waterfall. I added flat rocks to create a shallow area around the bottom of the fall so that birds could bathe and drink. Birds love this spot. I've seen birds in my yard that never before came to my feeders. I also love the sound and sight of the water.

Product description
This volume contains numerous original translations of ancient poetry, inscriptions and documents, all of which illuminate the multifaceted nature of sexuality in antiquity. The detailed introduction provides full social and historical context for the sources, and guides students on how to use the material most effectively. Themes such as marriage, prostitution and same-sex attraction are presented comparatively, with material from the Greek and Roman worlds shown side by side. This approach allows readers to interpret the written records with a full awareness of the different context of these separate but related societies. Commentaries are provided throughout, focusing on vocabulary and social and historical context. This is the first major sourcebook on ancient sexuality; it will be of particular use on related courses in classics/ancient history and gender studies.

The lovely ladies over at Missguided got in touch with me a few weeks ago to let me know about their new Plus Size Range. Missguided was a brand I had definitely seen, but had quickly dismissed because of the limited size range.
I was overjoyed when I saw the new range, sizes 16-24 and a pretty incredible range of all sorts of on trend items.
The sizes are pretty spot on, possibly half a size to a size smaller than your usual ASOS sizes.
I'm wearing the Bardot Bodysuit in a Size 20 – buy it here
& the Tartan Mesh Panel Skirt in a Size 22 – buy it here
Teamed with my black patent wedges from Target
Check out the whole Missguided Plus range here!
This post is sponsored by Missguided but all opinions are my own x
Last week, Hayley, the lovely lady behind Mynt 1792's Australian profile invited me into their Richmond based showroom to have a chat and see the upcoming collections for the brand.
You may have already have seen/heard/read about Mynt1792, a big, trend setting brand in the US which has consistently brought out really update to date and impeccibly cut pieces that hit the high end of the plus size market.
Last season they even created a series of jackets specifically designed by a set of US Bloggers including Nicolette Mason, Franceta Johnson & Nadia Aboulhosn (which there are actually still a couple of available here on The Iconic)
So when Hayley contacted me about seeing the collections I could not say yes fast enough. Hayley was kind enough to show me the blogger jackets and the past season up close, as well as their current collection and the upcoming S/S 15 season.
Mynt 1792 really covers a portion of the plus size market that I don't personally think any other brands really grasp well enough. They are able to produce really top notch designs with the most luxurious fabrics, trimmings and materials and t0 their attention to detail is really second to none.
There is no other Plus Size brand that I have come across that can show Pleather that is just as soft as the real deal next to lace, prints, vinyl and colour.
The design team behind Mynt 1792 produces many different styles each season, with a combination of really strong workwear, great tailoring, flattering styles and a great party dress, which you really cannot say about many brands, straight or plus size.
Like really, how INCREDIBLE is this embossed houndstooth?!?! OBSESSED.
I have it on good authority that Mynt 1792 is going to make a really big splash on the Australian market very soon, I also got to take a peak at the upcoming Autumn Winter collection and boy oh boy is it good. Let me just say, get ready to say hello to leather, navy, prints and suedette in a whole new way.
Until then, you can keep a close on Mynt 1792 on The Iconic, I know I will.
Just scraping in with a post this week, and I'm quite happy I did.
I am 100%, undeniably obsessed with this outfit, I love it, i'm mad about it. I'd probably wear it everyday and to bed everynight if I could. I adore it.
I spotted this incredible Estelle Clothing dress and vest in the sale sections of Myer a few months ago on a trip back to Brisbane and fell in love immediately. Unfortunately I was there shopping for Winter clothes for our upcoming America trip and not for chiffon dresses and yeti vests but I just couldnt resist.
I really believe that Estelle is one of the most underatted plus size brands in stores at the moment. Really on trend, young pieces for the same price you would pay for brands like City Chic and they often have great sales. I nabbed this set for $150 all up. Perfection!
Now technically this print is classed as Camoflague, but I think it is so close to Leopard Print I can just get away with this weeks Aussie Curve theme, don't you?
What I Wore:
Dress: Cat Call Dress by Estelle
Vest: by Estelle
Shoes: Argo in Black by Jeffrey Campbell

I'm back with another post from the lovely folks over at Yours Clothing!
I apologise in advance for the indoor photos this week, the weather in Melbourne has been nothing but cold and miserable and rainy and just not outdoor photo taking friendly!
I adore this dress, and for a new dress it has received a very high rotation in my wardrobe already.
I am a complete sucker for a good floral and this dress is no exception, I love the dark background, the little puff cap sleeves and the light chiffon fabric.
They also sent me these beautiful all leather boots in the Super Wide Fit (I believe its the EEE Fit) and they fit really well.
I have a LOT of trouble finding boots that will fit my super wide calfs that don't cost an arm and a leg, as cold as it gets in Melbourne I just cannot validate spending $300 on a pair of boots and these are a great alternative and I was really pleased to know that they are real leather rather than the usual pleather alternative.
I've teamed this week's look with my go to Pleather drape jacket from New Look & my new favourite stockings from Sonsee.
What I Wore:
Dress: Yours Clothing – Gifted (Buy it here!)
Jacket: New Look via ASOS – $55
Stockings: Sonsee – $28.95
Boots: Yours Clothing – Gifted (Buy Them Here!)
I do apologise that these recents posts have been a little all over the place, I've got one more Collaboration post with the folks over at Yours Clothing & then I will be getting into a better rhytmn with new posts and Aussie Curves Challenges so watch this space!
When the lovely ladies over at Yours Clothing got in touch with me a little while ago I jumped at the chance to experience a new brand first hand.
It's always a risk to order from a new brand, especially one that is overseas.
Iis the product going to be of good quaility?
What is the sizing like?
If something does go wrong, can I return it?
And HOW much is it going to cost to return?!?
I was pleasantly surprised when my parcel from Yours Clothing arrived, their shipping was super quick for an overseas store, and the quality of all the items I received (there are more posts to come) was really top notch.
I was a little hesitant with sizing, as I had read different reviews on sizing up, sizing down and choosing your normal size, and after the items had been unpacked and tried on, I was very happy with my decision of sticking to my normal size.
This all happened to happen right around Date night week over at Aussie Curves and I couldn't wait for an excuse to show off his new Body Con number.
We aren't afraid of any reason to go out for a date at our house, but it was definitely a nice change to really dress up for a date night, rather than my usual tee, jeans and parka to brave the icy Melbourne winds to head out to a movie or Mexican food.
This beautiful dress from Yours Clothing is super soft and easy to wear, for the record, I'm definitely not wearing any shapewear in these photos and felt so comfortable and at ease. Anyone who has ever even met me knows that I adore anything with a floral print and loved that this body con dress has sleeves for the cooler months. You can get it, and many other wonderful items at Yours Clothing.
What I Wore:
Dress: Yours Clothing – Gifted
Clutch: Olga Berg – $25 on sale
Shoes: Target – $40
Happy Easter Lovelies!
I hope that everyone is enjoying their long weekend and spending time with their loved ones and gorging themselves on LOTS of chocolate, I know I am!
This week on Aussie Curves is Body Con and I couldn't wait to share one of my current wardrobe staples, my Forever 21 pencil skirt and new favourite ASOS Blouse.
As soon as I saw this wonderful citrus/olive blouse on ASOS Curve as a new release, I put it into my bag IMMEDIATELY.
Usually I sit on an item in my saved list for weeks and I ponder over what I would wear it with, and where, but this item I just couldn't resist. It was a must have.
I've teamed my new fave blouse with this great little pencil skirt from Forever21 on my last haul from the overseas retailer.
I love the mesh panels and the thick scuba fabric.
What I Wore:
Blouse: ASOS Curve: $54.95
Pencil Skirt: Forever21+ – $12 on sale
Shoes: Target – $40
It feels so good to be back and participating in Aussie Curves again,
This week's theme is Pattern Clash!
To be completely honest, I threw this outfit together in about 10 minutes, but I must say, I really love it, and its something that I think I will actually wear a lot!
I used to wear a lot of prints, especially floral and when hunting threw my wardrobe today I did find it really hard to find a clashing pattern.
I don't know if its because I'm getting older or that now I live in melbourne but I found most of my clothing to be neutral tones or black and really only a handful of printed or patterned items.
I decided to go with something still true to myself and put together a subtle pattern clash, with the horizontal and vertical lines of my beloved Katies dress teamed with a geometric on my new white clutch.
I'm actually really digging this white clutch at the moment! I bought it frantically the night before the Curvy Couture Roadshow a few weeks back after calling every girlfriend in a 20km radius asking if they owned a Navy or White clutch person and after having no luck, dragged the boy to Kmart to search for one!
I happened to find this chunky white number for the bargain price of $9 and it did a marvelous job of holding EVERYTHING I needed for a full day of catwalk watching and shopping.
I stowed it away back in the wardrobe after the event but found it perfect for today's outfit and think I'll be using a whole lot more in future.
Who knew white was so versatile?!
What I Wore:
Dress (Worn Underneath): Katies – $49.95
Shirt: ASOS – $29.17 on sale
Clutch: Kmart – $9
Shoes: Target – $25

A lot to like in this one, Kate. The bottles are certainly "floating" and need shadows to give them a base. An excellent exponent of digital fine art photography gave me this tip re adding a shadow. I quote: "a fine dark line around the base of the object (bottle, lamp post or whatever) sits it firmly on the ground. Then draw out the shadow away from the direction of the light, gradually fading it out as it recedes. Do all this on a separate layer, ABOVE the image you want the shadow on. That way, if you mess up, you can bin that layer and try again without messing up your photo."
Montbretia in Green Bottle by Irishkate
No probs for me with shadows in a still life. Trev is right, though. Try to throw the shadows to one side or the other next time. Would also help "fill"a blank piece of wall, and thus would "balance" a composition. This said, you are really mastering this technique so well!
Parsley in a Bottle by Irishkate
Beautifully presented. Really lovely piece of work.
Clover by ChristineD
Absolutely beautiful. Skillfully executed - and WHAT an imagination!
THE HEART OF A DAHLIA by sable
Beautifully done. You're a real master at this textured overlay technique!
Well executed. Such a different way to show a flower!
Like the way you've isolated the anemone which is well exposed and nice and sharp. Another time consider tweaking out those annoying upright blades of grass they are rather well defined and fight for attention.
Have I Fallen.......................... by ChristineD
Love the gorgeous rim lighting, Anne. Very good horse portrait!
Reflections at Benalmadena Marina by brian17302
Very pleasing image. Taken at just the right time too.
Monochrome Deep... by Scottishlandscapes
I ADORE Scotland AND monochromes - so no surprises in that I really admire this Master's work!
Rescued Daffodils by Irishkate
Grace and elegance! Really lovely piece of work, Kate.
Very imaginative. Just goes to show you don't have to "do" chocolate box images to get a lovely effect!
Nice bit of paparazzi work!
Seven Silver Spoons by Irishkate
Another imaginative, experimental image from your " stable" Kate. It's a wonderful 'catalogue' shot, showing all the detail you could wish for. The V2 is very pleasing to the eye, being that beautiful golden colour (due to the tungsten light you used). However V1 probably gives you a more accurate rendition of what you wanted to produce! Well thought out arrangement.
Ah! Don't take up knitting, Kate! We'd miss your artistic temperament, and experimental adventuring! Just bin that brown bottle, pretty please? Its yellow flower, being the brightest element in the image, is very eye-catching. Remember KISS! The left hand blue bottle and its flower are f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s (as Craig Revel Hawood is want to say!)

Week Three after Jan. 1 has been identified by researchers as a dangerous time. One-third of resolvers will have relapsed by this time, and many will give up altogether.
But there's good news for anyone who's had a lapse or relapse since January 1.
According to research by psychologist John Norcross, setbacks at the three-week point do not predict your ability to succeed long-term at your chosen habit change. So if you've stumbled, you're just as likely to succeed in the long run as your perfect friend who hasn't yet slipped. Still, you can't just sit there—you have to think different and do different!

Section 3-3 (continued): How to Pitch Your Op-Ed
When you pitch an Op-Ed editor, you need to appreciate that they're driven by the news. At the New York Times, for example, the Op-Ed page receives 1,500 unsolicited pieces every week. They're busy! You may not get an instant response. That said, you can't wait forever to hear back from an editor. Especially if your pitch is news sensitive, you need to let an editor know that you hope to hear from them within a short period of time—anywhere from 24 hours to two weeks, depending on the urgency of the piece (and the timeliness), and also depending on how much you'd like to publish in their paper. But after a set amount of time—let's say two days for the sake of this lecture—if you haven't heard back, you'll need to email your editor and let them know that you'll be taking your work elsewhere. A polite way to say this is as follows: "Dear editor: I haven't heard back from you regarding my op-ed (see below). I'd still love to publish it in your paper, but as it's timely, if I don't hear back from you by the end of the day, I'll assume you've passed and will be submitting it elsewhere." Note: It's important to send this sort of email before you actually submit a piece to a new venue. Most national outlets will not consider a piece if you have simultaneously submitted to multiple outlets.
If an editor responds to a query, you must always thank him or her—even if the response was "no thank you." Many people think a rejection is a bad thing. In fact, a rejection is the beginning of a relationship. If you are strategic, charming, and intelligent in your response, you may be able to get the editor to explain to you why the piece you submitted didn't work for him/her. Perhaps the editor will tell you what his or her newspaper is looking for—or even, what piece he or she thinks you might be the perfect person to write. If an editor invites you to submit further ideas, do so, and soon. Remember, editors need writers as much as we need them. Sooner or later, if you have good ideas and express them well—and can make a connection with an editor or two—the odds will fall in your favor. And once they do—that is, once your foot is in the door—the hard part is over. It's much easier to publish when you've got a published piece or two under your belt.
Follow Up: If the editor responds...
Thank your editor. Even if they said "no." Remember that "no" can be the beginning of a relationship that leads to "yes."
If they published you, thank them not for showcasing you, but rather for giving space to the ideas and issues.
Follow Up: If there is no response...
Have a time limit. If your idea has a very short shelf life, you might give an editor a day or less to respond; if it's evergreen, a week or more. Then send a follow-up email to your editor saying that (of course) you'd still like to run your piece in their publication, but since the piece is timely, if you don't hear from them by the end of the day (week, whatever) you will assume they have passed, and you'll be submitting your op-ed elsewhere.
Note: Some newspapers will not consider your piece if you submit to multiple papers at the same time. If you do so, tell editors in your pitch.

The location of the hotel was very good, nice views of the lake from our balcony. The rooms were basic but clean. The hotel is above an Italian restaurant where they serve the breakfast, if you want jam and bread and a cup of coffee then you will be ok because that was all we got. This was the most expensive of all our accomodation we stayed in on our 7 night holiday, everywhere else served a really good breakfast with plenty of choice. As a place to sleep it was ok but not much else to recommend it.

Cannot remember what TV program he was on, but
Sir Howard Stringer was invited to one right after he
was appointed to the current stint in 2005. Asked if
he ever had owned an iPod, Sir Howard unequivocally,
to a TV camera, said: "No!"
Alas, just a couple of weeks after the TV appearance
a New York Times story said: "People in the United
States headquarters in Manhattan note that he has
been seen riding the elevator listening to music not
on a Sony device, but an Apple iPod...('New Man at
Top Crossing Oceans to Confront Internal Borders,'
Mar 8 2005)."
Magnificent about-face. But that's the way it is. That's
the way a CEO is. He, with his engineers, might have
disintegrated iPods. (No doubt there are millions of dead-
iPods at Sony.) And he could have found and debunked
Apple's dubious outsourcing to a Chinese firm called Hon
Hai (Face value, Aug 18th 2007). (No doubt the Hon Hai
outsourcing is an unstated issue, or even the norm in the
Stay Hungry, a saying goes, Stay Foolish. Maybe that's
what he needs to "fix Sony." Say, flaunting a photo of a
rival firm's boss won't be a bad idea, the way Steve Jobs
worshipfully did at MacWorld when Sony's Morita just met
the man upstairs.
That was real cool. So are Apple's gadgets (bar Hon Hai).
Talking about shipbuilding analogy, as I am aware, the sort of shipbuilding that Japan and Europe surrendered is now owned by chinese. Koreans move up to hulk tankers, while Japanese took shelters at hign-end special ships.
I think this would happen in electronics as well. What Japanese does now will move to china. Korea will move up to new generation products while Japanese will focus on special high-end electronics. I already see some push in this direction. For example, Koreans ready to launch next generation micro chips. This will force industry restructuring.
The PlayStation brand had sustained Sony for over a decade, before it decided to gift Microsoft a head start by incorporating a Blu-Ray player into the PS3 (significantly delaying its launch) in order to kill off HDDVD.
It effectively surrendered market leadership in the US and European video games markets to gain control of a category (next-gen DVDs) that consumers are not really interested in anyway.
How much better off would Sony be now if it had gotten PS3 to market shortly after the Xbox 360 (i.e. if the games division had been allowed to do its own thing, rather than being weighed down by wider corporate goals), particularly given the latter's reliability issues?
I used to buy Sony: radio, camcorder, cd player, headphones, ..
I even bought damn vaio laptop with big monitor. The problem developed immediately warraty expired. Change monitor three times in a year. Then power supply exploded. Internal startup battery does not work on cool conditions, ....
When I look at the makes of those parts, I realized that Sony has real problem. I guess most people who bought Vaio or LCD TVs will never buy Sony again as I will do.
This recession is going to be deep and long. When economy rebounds, we may not hear about Sony anymore!
I live in Ulsan and locally, we talk about stealing shipbuilding from the Japanese and now...
Sony already has several manufacturing plants in China.
Sony is the chief author of its own downfall and this article fails to clearly explain why.
Sony has fallen off its perch because for too long it has relied on exploiting 'brand premium' while product quality has declined markedly.
In almost every case, if you put a Sony brand next to an equivalent Korean product, the Sony will be lower quality and less reliable.
Instead of focusing on core issues like quality and design, their marketing gurus were obsessed with 'leveraging the brand' - while their beancounters saw only the value in milking the Sony name. Now they're left wondering why credit-starved consumers aren't too keen on buying inferior kit at a hefty premium.
To survive electronics business, Sony will need to move manufacturing to korea quickly. Otherwise Sony will lose out markets. Financial situation in Korea spells groom to Japanese and Taiwanese electronic industry. Otherwise Samsung will take over Sony markets. As a premium brand, Sony cannot reply on selling cheap products. Only way to compete getting much cheaper Samsung and LG both in cost and quality is to produce in Korea. I recockon that's the only way to survive.
Superior TVs hark back to the time when hardware, hardware patents and the means of production ruled the roost.
Software is usually the key differentiator that consumers appreciate now. Leading designers of software-based products evidence different skills and a more participatory and freewheeling approach to evolving a user-friendly specification and an intuitive user interface. In my experience, the hardest part facing Sir Springer and any turn-around CEO is to convince entrenched leadership of the urgency of identifying, recruiting (worldwide) and motivating designers who may well have a shot at a far more meaningful ownership stake in a vibrant small company without quarterly earnings pressure and disclosure demands that stifle courageous risk taking.
I simply do not understand why the brand Sony has lost its sheen in markets like India that traditionally valued its products with awe and complete admiration. Sony television sets used to be the coveted products here and people used to trouble NRIs to bring them. Nobody asks for Sony these days. The Korean brands are selling well whether TVs or mobile sets.Japanese cars are doing very well in markets like India and sophisticated markets like the US. Sir Howard is sure saving a lot by his policies, but does he have plans to do well is sales and improving on revenues is the important question.

euhydration levels, but not at rest when core temperature was not elevated. Likewise, Ryan and colleagues (1998) found that dehydration (approximately 3 percent of body weight) did not influence gastric emptying or intestinal absorption during exercise without marked heat strain. Their subjects had final exercise core temperatures of 38.5°C (101.3°F), which was approximately the core temperature where the subjects of Neufer and colleagues (1989a) began to clearly demonstrate reduced gastric emptying.
Altitude exposure will result in dehydration because of elevated respiratory water losses (approximately 200 mL/day above the usual baseline of 250 mL/day), hypoxia-induced diuresis, reduced fluid consumption (approximately 2 to 3 L over several days), and possibly elevated sweating from the high metabolic rates needed to traverse rugged mountain terrains (Anand and Chandrashekhar, 1996; Hoyt and Honig, 1996). The net effect is a total body water deficit reduction during altitude exposure (Anand and Chandrashekhar, 1996; Hoyt and Honig, 1996). In lowlanders exposed to moderate altitude (> 2,500 m), hypoxia will rapidly initiate diuresis that continues for several days (Anand and Chandrashekhar, 1996; Hoyt and Honig, 1996). This diuresis and the factors discussed above decrease total body water and plasma volume in proportion to the elevation of ascent (Sawka et al., 2000). Mechanisms responsible for the resultant hemoconcentration include diuresis, natriuresis, and dehydration, as well as loss of circulating plasma protein (Anand and Chandrashekhar, 1996; Hoyt and Honig, 1996; Sawka et al., 2000). This hemoconcentration is isoosmotic (unless sweat-induced dehydration contributes) and exceeds the reduction in total body water because it is largely oncotically mediated (Sawka et al., 1996b).
Body water reduction and hemoconcentration are believed to provide several physiological benefits by contributing to the increased oxygen content (Sawka et al., 2000) and perhaps reduced risk of mountain sickness (e.g., Acute Mountain Sickness, pulmonary edema, cerebral edema) (Anand and Chandrashekhar, 1996). The effects of dehydration on mountain sickness and performance decrements at altitude have not been studied.
Body fluid losses in cold climates can be as high as losses in hot climates due to high rates of energy expenditure and use of heavy clothing (Freund and Young, 1996). Fluid losses during cold exposure are commonly thought to result from cold-induced diuresis

When Tera Patrick retired from porn, plenty of guys retired from beating off. Then Tera stayed retired and the same guys grew frustrated, wondering when she'd return and they could unleash their devoted reservoir in her honor. Now those guys are flocking to Tera Patrick dot com, Tera's official online base and the only place to enjoy new Tera content in High Definition. Is Tera's site, part of the Fame Digital network, really up to par with its neighbors Rocco Siffredi, Silvia Saint, and Peter North, or is it just a tired retread of Tera's former glories? On the case: your pal, Mr. Pink.
Adult movies are so commonplace on the Internet that we an forget about the once booming DVD industry. Adult DVD Empire offers a pay-per-view program that gives you thousands of entertainment options at a range of pricing options. One such option doesn't limit you to select (affordable) titles and, in fact, encourages you to devour as much of Adult DVD Empire's archive as humanly possible: they call it Adult DVD Empire Unlimited for a very, very good reason. How much time can you afford to spend watching porn? I don't know but we're about to find the fuck out!

If most porn sites are too light of touch, too easy on the constitution, you might want to take a good long look at Sexual Disgrace. Putting porn's newest hardcore harlots through the wringer, Sexual Disgrace sees these hot sluts tied to racks and benches, bound at the wrists and ankles, with their breasts red and seething from repeated abuse, fucked into total submission. Part of the 60-site Fetish Network, Sexual Disgrace is but one gateway to a world of utterly depraved, totally perverse porn. (And, if you ask me, it's the hottest of said gateways by a long shot.)
Disgraced 18 purports to put porn's newest, greenest talent through the wringer with decadent hardcore scenes involving makeshift bondage restraints, absurdly shaped and sized toys, lots of freely flowing liquids, creams, and gels, and, more recently, fairly sedate and sensual sex in heavenly light filled sunrooms. Wait, what? Disgraced 18 might no longer be the site it once was, but even in its current state it's more appealing than… nothing at all.
All relationships run into trouble somewhere along the road. Whether rooted in financial woes, a wandering eye, or sexual dissatisfaction, at some point or another something will need to be done to spice things up. Couples Seeking Teens offers marital advice in the form of blistering three-way hardcore scenes that thrust an energetic teen slut into an existing couple's bedroom (or living room, or kitchen, or kitchenette) for a salacious solution to all one's domestic difficulties.

He might not be hung like Lex Steele (or even James Deen), nor is his name as celebrated as Manuel Ferrara or Jonni Darkko, but Kevin Moore has been shooting some of the most original, entertaining, and intensely erotic ass-focused porn in recent memory. His Panty Pops DVD series is collected here on the site of the same name and celebrates the curves and crevices of the rear ends of porn's most astoundingly sexy women. Sure, they're wearing underwear for the duration of the scene, but it's put to great use and even acts as a receptacle for Moore's spooge come blowin' time. For an ass lover's celebration of booties clad only in the skimpiest of panties, thongs, and g-strings, it's gotta be Panty Pops!
At 53-years-of-age, Nina Hartley is an elder stateswoman of the adult industry. and while Ron Jeremy is making tequila and laughing at his physical state (Grandpa Hedgehog?), Nina's taking to the cyberwaves to educate men and women about sex, letting them know that their satisfaction is paramount and guiding them through the many potential pitfalls ahead. While somewhat short on actual sex (and heavy on the naked vibrator-aided discussions thereof), Nina Hartley's online home is an indispensable resource for all porn fans, past, present, and future.
Messing around online, you're bound to find porn whether you intended to or not. And there are far worse places to end up than Digital Playground, the online embodiment of the acclaimed adult studio of the same name. Having churned out some rather stellar feature films over the past nineteen years, it was somewhat surprising to find that DP's online base isn't quite as impressive as it should be. However, with its roster of undeniable contract stars and some of the glossiest, most artfully crafted mainstream porn available sitting right here on its streaming-only video servers, Digital Playground is definitely an arena every dedicated porn fan should loll around in at some point. And, hey, why not now?

The thing with Subban is, we still don't know who we are getting. Is it the inconsistant player that got benched twice, and 3-4 fights in practices or the super star we seen in his first season. He has the ability to be a Ray Bourque or a Jack Bourque (the garbage man) He may be worth 5-6 mill soon but we haven't seen that consistantcy yet, and although alot of pressure was put on him the past two season's, I just don't buy it yet. Look at Deon Phaneuf, he was the next Pronger but beleived his own hype. Now he's a Leaf Captain, and we know how that's working out :) I'd like to see the two sides come to a one year agreement, and re-evaluate it in the offspring long term.

Totally disagree. Malone knew exactly what he did immediately, as soon as the ref blew the wistle he started to skate towards Campoli to apologize. He frikkn knew Both Habs games he was out pretending he was king shite, I hope he gets the whole meal deal from Shanny. Also I hope Campoli is ok, I thought he was fitting in perfect. PS.MAB wasn't resigned by many teams for a reason POOR DEFENCE. He coughed up the puck at least twice in the times I noticed him. Great shot on the PP though.

I couldn't have said it any better. We looked like that was the first time on the ice together, while TB looked season ready. The whole point of minor tinkering with a roster, is to keep the core intact so everyone knows the teams strenghts and weakness. Some times they looked like the Habbies were trying to make their team mates look bad (ie Subban) ..... whatever only pre-season right? Keep in mind we only made the playoffs last year because of our great start last season. The team needs a big team hug + Markov On the plus side, in my opinion the follow Habbies looked pretty good. D: Campoli, Georges (ironman), Gill and Diaz (offencively) F: Plets, Cami, Gomez and a few others in spurts

Forget Bloomberg's "90% agree" BS PushPoll: 15,000 Law Enforcement Survey Says...Submitted by AnCapMercenary on Tue, 04/09/2013 - 15:13
PoliceOne.com Releases Survey of 15,000 Law Enforcement Professionals about U.S. Gun Control Policies
With Graphics
PDF of the Survey
March 2013 survey of police officers covered proposed legislation and attitudes about arming citizens
SAN FRANCISCO – PoliceOne.com, the leading online resource for law enforcement, today released findings from a national survey of police professionals that provide insight into the opinions of American law enforcement regarding gun control policies and the root causes of and potential solutions to gun crime in the United States.
The survey, which was conducted in early March 2013, received 15,000 responses from law enforcement professionals. It found that the overall attitude of law enforcement is strongly anti-gun legislation and pro-gun rights, with the belief that an armed citizenry is effective in stopping crime. Response percentages varied only slightly when analyzed by rank and department size. Among the results:
86 percent feel the currently proposed legislation would have no effect or a negative effect on improving officer safety
Similarly, 92 percent feel that banning semi-automatic firearms, or "assault weapons," would have no effect or a negative effect on reducing violent crime
Demonstrating the opinion that the best way to combat gun crime is through harsher punishment, 91 percent said the use of a firearm while perpetrating a crime should lead to a stiff, mandatory sentence with no plea bargains. Likewise, 59 percent believe increasing punishment severity for unlicensed dealers would reduce crime
Respondents were more split on background checks, with 31 percent agreeing that mental health background checks in all gun sales would help reduce mass shootings, while 45 percent disagreed
71 percent support law enforcement leaders who have publicly refused to enforce more restrictive gun laws within their jurisdictions
82 percent believe gun buyback or turn-in programs are ineffective in reducing the level of gun violence
91 percent support the concealed carry of firearms by civilians who have not been convicted of a felony and/or have not been deemed psychologically incapable
Likewise, 80 percent feel that legally-armed citizens would likely have reduced the number of casualties in recent mass shooting incidents
38 percent believe the biggest cause of gun violence in the United States is the "decline in parenting and family values". This was trailed by "overly lax parole and short sentencing standards" at 15 percent and "pop culture influence" (eg. violent movies and video games) at 14 percent
The survey was promoted by PoliceOne exclusively to its 400,000 registered members, comprised of individually-verified law enforcement professionals. Only current, former or retired law enforcement personnel were eligible to participate in the survey.

Power forward Josh McRoberts has opted to become an unrestricted free agent in July, but that doesn't necessarily indicate an exit from the Charlotte Hornets.
Hornets general manager Rich Cho made it clear Wednesday that the team will look to re-up McRoberts, who started 78 games for the team last season.
"Josh is a big part of our team. We definitely want to re-sign him," Cho said at a pre-draft news conference. "He helped Kemba (Walker), he helped Big Al (Jefferson). He's such a good passer, a connector, a great teammate."
When McRoberts signed with the then-Bobcats last summer, his agent negotiated a clause giving McRoberts the choice to test free agency in the summer of 2014. McRoberts made just more than $2.6 million last season, a bargain for a starter. He would have made $2.77 million next season had he played out his contract. That would have made him the third-lowest paid Hornet among 10 players under contract.
It seemed a given McRoberts would explore free agency after a strong season. He averaged 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists and shot 36 percent from 3-point range.
McRoberts immediately upgraded the then-Bobcats' ball-movement after the team acquired him from the Orlando Magic in February 2013. He drew enthusiastic praise from coach Steve Clifford, echoing what team owner Michael Jordan projected for McRoberts in the preseason.
"The success of this team is McRoberts – how well he connects the dots," Jordan told the Observer in October.
McRoberts, a 6-foot-10 forward from Duke, said the day after the Bobcats were eliminated from the playoffs that he hoped to remain with the franchise for many years. He knows Clifford and the front office value him.
So this is ultimately about McRoberts testing his market value entering his eighth NBA season. The Hornets have the resources to make a competitive offer; they will have at least $13 million in space under the salary cap when free agency begins July 1.
Also, should McRoberts sign elsewhere, the Hornets have a fallback position in power forward Cody Zeller. The then-Bobcats used the fourth overall pick to select Zeller in the 2013 draft.
Zeller had a slow start last season, but improved rapidly in the last two months of the season. He averaged six points and 4.3 rebounds last season and was named second-team all-rookie by the NBA.
