text: 4.3 Vocabulary. Throughout this section I will be considering the use of vocabulary featured within my sample of advertisements. I will be assessing the extent to which terms and phrases are selected with targeting a specific audience in mind. I will study terms of address (including the use of personal pronouns) and issues of formality and familiarity. Further to this, I will consider lexical choices that attempt to accommodate for the theme of the source publication. This will include features such as connotative language or terms that incorporate other topics or agendas. Terms of Address. 'Terms of address' were identified as any use of vocabulary that had a primary function of addressing, labelling or naming participants of the advertisement, specifically, the audience. Personal pronouns such as 'you', 'we', 'he', 'she' etc, were included in this category as a form of address. I will consider a selection of examples and interpret their significance in terms of targeting audiences. Example 1. Who's a naughty boy then? (Gmax Suspension, Redline) Example 2. Off limits to brunettes! Push the limits of blondeness. (Loreal Feria, Cosmopolitan) Interpretation. The examples displayed above have targeted their audiences by establishing possible categories to which readers will either identify with or 24 not. Specifically, example 1 portrays a grammatical question seemingly addressing a purely male target audience. This is indicated by its use of the noun phrase 'naughty boy'. Further to this, the noun phrase carries sexual connotations that relate to the nature of the visual aspects of the advertisement (discussed in the following 'visuals' section). The Loreal Feria advertisement (example 2) is an example whereby the advertiser distinctly labels two categories of possible audience i.e. blondes and brunettes. Further to this, the latter category is dismissed in its involvement in the advertisement by the use of the phrase, 'off limits to brunettes.' Personal Pronouns. Fairclough proclaimed that 'despite the anonymity of mass-communication audiences, the direct address of members of the audience on an individual basis with 'you' is very common indeed'(Fairclough:2001:106). This trend seems to be reflected in the significant use of the personal pronoun 'you' throughout my sample of advertisements. Examples. 1. ….so you won't need to buy any rubbers. (Gmax, Redline) 2. Every time you turn off your engine….. (Redex, Redline) 3. You don't have to put up with nagging joint pain. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 4. Have you had to give up the things you enjoy simply because of painful, aching joints? (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 5. You've worked hard all your life and put in the hours, only to find that you're forced to stop doing the things you really want to do….. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 6. Let me tell you an amazing story: (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 7. If you have ever used drugs, you'll know that's pretty impressive. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 25 8. If you enjoy waking up every morning having aching, painful and sore joints….. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 9. If however you're the sort of person that likes….. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 10. I guarantee you have nothing to lose…. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 11. Enclosed with all orders, you'll find a catalogue of……. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 12. I will enclose a special letter on how these supplements can help you take control of…… (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 13. All I ask is you buy and use Ache-free for a full month… If after this trial you don't find that you are able to…… (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 14. I'll without hesitation give you your full money back. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 15. You can't get more risk free than that! (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 16. So if you want 100% flake free hair that's….. (Head & Shoulders, Cosmopolitan) 17. Why follow trends when you can set them? (Mazda 3, Cosmopolitan) 18. Because you're worth it. (Loreal Feria, Cosmopolitan) Interpretation. Although personal pronouns are a direct form of address i.e. they are speaking to the individual reader (as shown by examples 1-18); they do not necessarily indicate specific identities or attributes of the audience. In terms of my sample, a significant proportion of personal pronouns expressed in the possessive case e.g. 'your', 'my' etc, play a more significant role in stating possible possessions or attributes of their desired/target audiences. Examples. 19. Lowering your suspension without shortened GMAX sports…….. (Gmax, Redline) 20. Takes care of your boots, so you won't need to buy any rubbers. (Gmax, Redline) 21. Your engine is running at peak performance. (Redex, Redline) 26 22. Every time you turn off your engine your fuel injectors become hot.. (Redex, Redline) 23. Redex Petrol Injector Plus and Redex Petrol Injector Treatment clean and protect your fuel injection system. (Redex, Redline) 24. If something's throbbing under your bonnet, take a look tonight. (The Adult Channel, Redline) 25. You've worked hard all your life and put the hours in…. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) 26. Ensuring that all your plants grow strong, resilient and above all healthy. (Westland, Gardener's World) 27. Quench your thirsty hair. Head & Shoulders hydrating smooth & silky washes the moisture back into your hair… (Head & Shoulders, Cosmopolitan) Interpretation. The examples above show advertisements using possessive pronouns along with nouns or noun phrases that associate the nature of the product with the intended or desired target audience. For example, the advertisement for Redex Petrol Injector, a product designed to maintain car engine performance, specifies the intended audience by coupling possessive pronouns with nouns associated with car ownership e.g. 'your engine', 'your fuel injectors' etc (see examples 19-23). As a result, the advertisement clearly establishes the target audience of the product i.e. individuals who own cars. Similarly, the advertisement for 'Westland multi-purpose compost', uses the possessive pronoun 'your' with the noun 'plants'. In this sense, the target audience is established as being owners and cultivators of plants. Specific attributes or identities of the product's intended audience are therefore identified by the use of possessive pronouns accompanied by a noun or noun phrase. Formality/Familiarity (includes the use of non-standard features). 27 The next issue concerning vocabulary, in terms of possible audience design, is the aspect of formality and familiarity created through the selection of lexical constructions. I have identified six examples below as being particularly significant in terms of formality/familiarity and have identified their relevance in targeting audiences. Example 1: 'Gimmie somethin BIG!!' (Plutonium Ground Zero, Redline) Deviant forms of graphology i.e. non-standard spellings, adopted by this advertisement, create a less formal style of language. The non-standard spellings represent how the words in question may be pronounced in a natural, informal conversation. As a result, a sense of familiarity is created between the character in the advertisement and the intended target audience. Further to this, the sexual theme presented by the visuals of this advertisement i.e. a naked female, is continued by the connotation of sexual activities suggested by this construction. Example 2: 'Tool up' (Gmax, Redline) In this example, a non-standard form of verb is adopted to create the verb phrase 'tool up'. The term 'tool' is predominantly recognised as a noun whereas in this example it has been used to create a seemingly 'fashionable' form of verb phrase. 'Tool up' is a verb phrase that is often associated with criminal behaviour i.e. criminals will arm themselves, or 'tool up', in preparation for a bank robbery etc. The verb phrase will therefore incorporate connotations of criminal behaviour i.e. the excitement and the danger. Redline magazine features articles covering car events that are frowned upon 28 by the police e.g. cruising and street racing. In light of this, it would appear that the verb phrase has been deliberately selected to coincide with the nature of the magazine. Example 3: 'pop drug after drug' (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) In this example, instead of the verb 'take', an informal or relatively more popular form of verb that relates to the subject of taking drugs i.e. 'pop' is utilised. In this way, the advertisement attempts to create a more familiar relationship between the advertiser and the audience by adopting a more conversational form of vocabulary. Example 4: 'It would be silly for us to say…' (Maximuscle, Gardener's World) This is another example whereby the advertiser chooses a conversational form of adjective in 'silly'. If we consider alternative that could replace 'silly', for example, 'naïve', 'unwise' etc, we can suggest that achieving a sense of familiarity, between the advertisement and the audience, is the main objective of the producer. Example 5: 'That they consider Hartley Botanic worthy of such accolade' (Hartley Botanic, Gardener's World) Example 6: 'We've been making the finest glasshouses money can buy…' (Hartley Botanic, Gardener's World) In contrast with the first four examples, examples 5 and 6 seem to select more formal styles of vocabulary that at certain levels, suggest higher values in terms of social class. 'Accolade'(example 5) is a noun that refers to a strong praise or approval, in the form of an honour or award. The term 'accolade' is therefore a term associated with style and quality. This tendency of selecting words that have the image of class seems to be supported by the 29 use of the superlative adjective, 'finest'. 'Finest' is a form of adjective traditionally associated with describing objects of superior quality. At this point, I would like to refer back to Geoffrey Leech's research which stated that 'highbrows are relatively unmoved by standard sales talk, and have to be wooed through advertising which has an intellectual or off-beat appeal'. It seems as though this advertisement may be catering for a more highbrow category of audience through its selection of relatively more intellectual forms of vocabulary. Interpretation. Lexical choices indicating levels of formality or familiarity between the advertisement and reader, seem to hold an inherent value of targeting specific categories of audience. For example, advertisements featured within Redline magazine seem to adopt more informal terminology because the producers perceive the niche audience as being more accustomed with this style. By contrast, the advertisement for 'Hartley Botanic glasshouses' adopt formal and inherently intellectual terms in order to appeal to a relatively more highbrow audience. In terms of familiarity, the 'Maximuscle' advertisement features lexical choices that promote a close relationship between the advertisement and reader. If we consider that the likely consumers of this product would be an older generation, it seems as though the advertiser has deemed 'familiar' forms of vocabulary as an appropriate style to market to the audience. Topic-Specific & Connotative Language. 30 In this final section, I will be discussing terminology featured in my sample of advertisements that incorporated other topics or themes. I will establish several examples and discuss their significance in terms of possible audience design. Example 1: This rare piece is the exquisite Fiesta Silver. Four sparkling 16" alloys set against an exterior of metallic moondust silver. Inside, luxurious black leather is complemented by CD player and oh-so-essential heated windscreen. The season's must-have, yours for £10,995. Go on, try it. Call 08457 111 888 or visit fiestasilver.com. The Ford Fiesta Silver. Rock solid. (Ford Fiesta Silver, Cosmopolitan) Example 1 is taken from the 'Ford Fiesta Silver' advertisement featured in Cosmopolitan. The underlined terms and phrases are particularly noticeable in respect of their semantics. For example, adjectives such as 'sparkling' and 'exquisite' are often used to describe items of expensive jewellery. The noun phrase 'rare piece' is another example of a phrase that seems to be out of its natural context in describing a motor vehicle. The second aspect is the use of two typical fashion discourse constructions, 'oh-so-essential' and 'the season's must-have…' Once again, these constructions are not traditionally associated with car advertising. A possible explanation for this terminology is the product name itself; 'Fiesta Silver'. It seems as though the advertiser has emphasised the product name, 'silver', by associating it with terminology that may be used to describe expensive silver jewellery etc. However, an interesting point to note is that Cosmopolitan magazine allots a large majority of its space on fashion articles, features and advertisements. In this sense, the advertisement accommodates the expectations and interests of its source's typical audience, through its inclusion of fashion-based terminology. 31 However, it is questionable as to whether the nature of vocabulary selection was primarily made in light of audience design. It seems more likely that the terminology was predominantly chosen in light of the product name. However, as a result of these language features, the inclusion of this advertisement in publications such as Cosmopolitan etc is inevitable. Example 2: 'If something is throbbing under your bonnet, take a look tonight.' (The Adult Channel, Redline) In this example, 'The Adult Channel' advertisement attempts to incorporate the nature of the publication it is featured in by utilising connotative language. The construction, 'throbbing under your bonnet' has two possible interpretations. The noun phrase 'your bonnet' could be a sexual connotation i.e. the reference would be compared to 'something throbbing in your trousers'. However, the noun phrase seems to have been selected specifically to incorporate the theme of cars and their components. Unlike the 'Fiesta Silver' advertisement, where the language seemed to coincidentally fit the environment in which it was placed, 'The Adult Channel' advertisement seems to have selected its terminology primarily and specifically to incorporate the themes running through Redline magazine. By doing so, the advertisement appeals to the expectations and interests of the magazine's typical audience. Example 3: 'Why follow trends when you can set them?' (Mazda, Cosmopolitan) In this example, the noun 'trend', that is traditionally associated with the subject of fashion, is utilised in an advertisement for a car. Unlike the terms used in the 'Fiesta Silver' advertisement (see example 1, above), there does 32 not seem to be a link between the fashion associated vocabulary and the product name. In light of this, it would seem as though this particular vocabulary selection has been made with the expectations and interests of the source's audience very much in mind. The advertisement suggests that setting 'trends' is a desirable image of the envisaged audience. A 'trendsetter' is described in the dictionary as 'a person or a thing that creates, or may create, a new fashion'(Collins:1990:1069). For example, David Beckham can be determined as a significant trendsetter in terms of his hairstyling and dress sense etc. It has already been established that a large percentage of Cosmopolitan's page space is dedicated to fashion articles and features portraying innovative and new styles of dress. In this sense, this choice of noun establishes some kind of bond between the product and possible readers' desires or identities. Interpretation. Lexical selections that incorporate topics or themes, other than those directly related to the product, can be used to accommodate audiences' preferences or expectations. A final example that I would like to examine in this section is taken from the 'Maximuscle' advertisement featured in Gardener's World; Example 4: Have you had to give up things you enjoy simply because of painful, aching joints? You've worked hard all your life and put in the hours, only to find that you're forced to stop doing things you really want to do….such as gardening, walking, or DIY, thanks to aching, sore joints and arthritis. (Maximuscle, Gardener's World.) 33 In this extract, lexical choices are made that result in social stereotyping of the target audience. Unlike the connotative examples discussed above, this advertisement seems to explicitly label and categorise its audience through its language selections. The primary target audience for this product would be elderly individuals who suffered from aching joints and arthritis. The advertiser selects terms that represent the companies' stereotypical view of past-times enjoyed by this category of person i.e. gardening, walking and DIY. Further to this, the term 'gardening' clearly creates a bond between the advertisement and the theme of the magazine it is featured within i.e. Gardener's World. The second interesting use of language is the phrase 'you've worked hard all your life'. We can see that this phrase directly addresses the reader through the use of the personal pronoun 'you', and the possessive form 'your'. The phrase 'all your life' compounds the advertisement's attempt to cater for an older generation of audience. It suggests that the reader has perhaps retired or is coming to the end of their working life. Interpretation. By specifying particular attributes of the envisaged audience of the product, the advertisement fails to accommodate, to a certain extent, other possible consumers of the product i.e. younger individuals or sporting professionals for example. In the following section, I will examine how visual images play a similar role in establishing relationships between particular target audience categories and the product being sold. 34 35

A tapestry will be suspended along side ritualistic vessels conceived by Alex Wolkowicz of Cave Collective, that guests can use to splash, bang and imprint their imaginations on to it.
A tent will be erected, where guests will play with scent and sound, with scents provided and conjured up by Natural Apothecary and beauty guru Jessa Blades and sounds mixed by Cat Lauigan of Cave Collective.
Each station will combine all the elements of the human
senses of sight, taste, touch, hearing and smell and abstract them to
wholly immerse you into the world of natural dyeing.

I should emphasize that I will not be working with you on your own pieces, however, you will get a serious crash course in large scale marbling and all its intricacies.. :)

It was such a surprise yesterday to discover that one of my dresses had been featured in the new Still Corners video, which debuted exclusively on vogue.com! I'm pretty blown away by all the talent that went into a production like this - the director, the amazing hair (Alison Brislin!), the great clothes and obviously the music! I'm so so thrilled I could play even a small part in this. :)

Since Intel introduced its Hyper-Threading technology with its Pentium 4 microprocessors back in early 2002 reviewers have occasionally noticed that under certain conditions Hyper-Threading can actually hurt performance instead of helping it. A quick summary of this issue with Hyper-Threading can be found over at Bitsum.
We decided to explore the effects of Hyper-Threading on the performance of the Ivy Bridge based Core i7-3770K by running our CPU benchmarking suite on it twice. Once with Hyper-Threading enabled, and once with Hyper-Threading disabled. As such we set-up our results table to look for applications that perform better with Hyper-Threading disabled, rather than enabled.
As you can see their are a few applications that perform marginally better, to the tune of one to two percent, with Hyper-Threading disabled. But at the same time there is far more to be gained in terms of performance from leaving Hyper-Threading enabled than there is to be gained from disabling it.
On average the 3770K with Hyper-Threading disabled offers only 90 percent of the performance of the same chip with this feature enabled. Thus it stands to reason that leaving Hyper-Threading enabled is the best choice for consumers.
At this point I think it's fair to say that the days of fear mongering over performance hits due to Hyper-Threading are well past their "best if used by" dates. The implementation of this technology found in Ivy Bridge processors, and to a large extent in Sandy Bridge processors, is quite robust and well adapted to our current crop of OS schedulers. Admittedly there will continue to be workloads that are I/O bound and thus poorly suited to the methods Hyper-Threading technology, but for the most part users don't have any reason to worry about Hyper-Threading negatively affecting application performance. As performance enhancing technologies go, Hyper-Threading is surely one of the more mature examples that Intel has to offer.S|A

Namco 'seeking avenues' to continue supporting Dark Souls on PCBandai Namco has provided an update on the future of Dark Souls PC, which uses Games for Windows Live -- a service that's believed to be shutting down in July -- for its online play. First, the game "will remain fully functional on GFWL for the foreseeable future." Second, Namco "is currently seeking avenues to continue support and ensure the functionality of Dark Souls on other services. We will have more news and updates to share on this in the coming months." Presumably and hopefully, that continued support will come to fruition through Steamworks. I'm now starting to wonder if GFWL's end isn't being pushed back beyond July. Either way, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon ditched the service -- Dark Souls can and should too.

Crooked Tree Village is located a little more than 30 miles up the Northern Highway from Belize City. It is a small fishing and farming village with approximately 700 residents. The people are friendly and accepting of strangers and are quick to say hello.
My first morning in Crooked Tree I went for a walk. On the outskirts of town, I came across a house that was blaring a Patsy Cline record. As I walked by the house, with laundry hanging on the line to dry, and a dog, some chickens, and a horse in the yard, my mind drifted and for a moment I felt as if I was in Oklahoma in the early 1960s. As I continued down the road, careful to avoid the cow patties and horse manure, the cacaphony of tropical birds disappeared and all I could hear was Patsy Cline and the dream of being in Oklahoma became even more real. But as Patsy Cline's voice slowly faded away, and I heard a woman from the house yelling in Kriol, I remembered just how far from Oklahoma I was.
After spending an afternoon canoeing around the lagoon, I made my way slowly back to Sam Tillett's hotel. Along the way, I passed the village community center, a one room building no larger than the typical one-car garage. A man popped out of the building and asked me, "You gonna come back later tonight?" I said, "For what?" He responded, "For the lighting of the community Christmas tree. Actually, the relighting. The cows ate the first one." I laughed, prompting him to smile and say, "That's pretty funny, isn't it?" A few hours later, I, along with most of the rest of the village, showed up for the lighting of the community Christmas tree. It was a grand affair, with caroling, much laughter, and some passing out of gifts to the village children. There was even an appearance by the scrawniest Santa Claus I've ever seen. All the kids seemed to know who was dressed up as Santa and fell over laughing when he came running out of the community center.

I love 90's comics. Image is a great example of how awesome they were.
You clearly never read Youngblood. Or the Clone Saga. Or Superman At Earth's end. Or the Crossing. Or Red and Blue superman. Or anything written or drawn by rob liefeld. Or anything made by his flunkies.
I didn't want to get into Rob Liefeld. I don't like to insult artists, because it's hard to do what they do.
Rob Liefeld suffered from a lack of talent, he certainly was enthusiastic, but just didn't have the skill to match it. He did have a lot of energy though, given that he at times seemed to be drawing half of everything.
I agree.

I have a stock 45acp version. If you could post pictures of the mods that would be great. I'm looking for ideas.
Posted: 8/18/2013 4:51:42 PM EST
Actually one of the reasons I bought my JRC was that no mods were needed. I did change the factory buttstock to a Magpul however. Does that count?
Posted: 8/20/2013 5:47:38 AM EST
Yes the magpul stock counts. I know a lot of people customize there guns on here.

I went with FDE furniture and BUIS (much like the one listed above) but not much else yet.
If I can ever get it to run reliably with extended mags, I will SBR it and have it threaded for my pending Octane 45. |
Posted: 8/20/2013 12:52:50 PM EST
is that moe stock a mill spec or commercial, and dose anyone know what hand guards you can replace it with?
Posted: 8/20/2013 4:10:34 PM EST
Posted: 8/20/2013 4:19:29 PM EST
will it work if the tube was changed to mill spec?
Posted: 8/21/2013 3:13:04 PM EST
If you start messing with the tube for the stock (buffer tube) you skate on thin ice. Early on the rumor was the first JRC's had some ejection problems. That was solved. In the process the company got very protective of the set up of the buffer. In the manual they clearly state that if you change that tube it can not be more than 1/8 inch difference in internal length from the factory original. This tells me they had to do some serious tuning to get that carbine to run dependably with a wide range of ammo. Well, guess what, that is not so rare. Listen to the 9mm AR boys belly ache about the problems they had getting their rifles to work properly. JRC wants their rifes to run correctly so they get nervous when people start throwing non-factory parts in there and then complaining the rifle doesn't function properly. I can not blame them one bit for this. So, yes you can put a Mil-Spec tube on it....BUT....BUT....you have to make certain that the internal length is within 1/8 inch of what the factory depth was. (So they say). |
Posted: 8/21/2013 7:12:54 PM EST
ok that makes it simple and if it plays that much with the function of it then it wont be touched. just need to know before some one else or myself included makes a mistake that could be avoided with a simple post. Reading up on them since Forever4 posted in my thread about them being the best cut to chase fire arm over 9mm AR15's. I am starting to agree.
Posted: 8/22/2013 4:48:07 AM EST
For those with JRCs in .45acp, are you having any issues with Glock factory hi cap mags? I've read some posts that the mags have to be modded, or that Gen 2 mags work better than other gens.
Posted: 8/25/2013 10:33:57 AM EST
My JRC in 45ACP took a lot of patience. IT was a very early model. I live near where they are manufactured and had a lot of visits there. Very nice people who even offered to exchange out the carbine for whatever model I wanted. The 9mm and 40 S&W models worked fine. Being an engineer I could not stop without fixing the issue.
The problem with the 45 ACP model was timing, The carbine worked faster than the magazine could feed them after the first 7 rounds were fired. The normal lessening of spring tension in the magazine as round were fired meant that each round loads a wee bit slower than the last one. Several different buffer weights were used. They finally put an extension tube in place that made it as long as a rifle tube. Then they put a heavier buffer in place. They still had a carbine length spring in place though. This was better, but I still had a few stoppages with the bolt riding up over the cartridge. This was always started when feeding round 8 out of a 10 round magazine. Looked like a short stroke but it was not. The Glock mags just could not keep up. Not a problem with the magazines as they work fine in Glock products. The issue was slowing down the carbine. To finally solve my issue I installed a rifle length buffer tube spring and an AR15R-XH - 11 ounce rifle buffer from Heavy Buffer. Once I did this I shoot over 500 rounds of various types in 45ACP without any problems. Then NY passed it's "SAFE" act and the carbine now resides out of state. The JRC buffer will not work with a rifle length spring as it is too short and the spring bottoms out. This would lead to premature spring failure. The only thing I added to my carbine was a set of Magpul sights. Never any issues with hitting the target. I really liked the way it handled. |
Posted: 9/6/2013 8:01:51 PM EST
I added a cheap red dot to my 9mm JR carbine. I'm working on doing the tax stamp thing to eventually SBR it. Then eventually a silencer.
So far I love the thing. My only complaint is that the buffer gets hard to pull back after 500 rounds through it without a cleaning. No malfunctions at all with factory and reloaded stuff. |

..and it's goodbye Angel; Home And Away (Monday to Friday, ITV, 12.55pm).
Another soap is losing a major star this week as Home And Away's Melissa George says goodbye to the Aussie show.Melissa, 20, leaves Summer Bay on Thursday after three years playing the troubled Angel Parrish.
Angel is to make a new life with her screen lover, computer tycoon Simon Broadhurst, and baby Shane.
"It's a fairytale ending for Angel, a real Cinderella story but I'm glad to be going," says Melissa, who is set to star in new Australian film Dark City with Kiefer Sutherland.
"I came into Home And Away as a wide-eyed 16-year-old and now I'm a woman who's about to spread her wings. I think Angel and I both have exciting futures ahead of us."
Her exit coincides with the soap's 2,000th episode this week after first hitting the screens in 1989.
Like Angel, Melissa left home early after landing her role in the soap at 16. "It wasn't easy at first and I missed my family badly," she says.
Her parents, brother Brett, 17, and sister Katy, 10, live in Perth. Older sister Marnie is a dental nurse in London.
"Living away from home meant I had to learn to make my own decisions," says Melissa, a former Australian roller- skating champion.
But she admits she can be just as rebellious as Angel. That was evident last year when she shocked fans by posing nude for a magazine.
"The pictures were artistic, not pornographic. My parents freaked out at first but once they saw them they approved."
Melissa, who lives in Sydney with actor-producer boyfriend Steve Bastoni, 31, wants to establish her film career. She is also talking about starting a family with Steve.
"I'd love to have kids," says Melissa. "Being pregnant as Angel made me feel broody. I think it's nice to have a family when you're young so you can carry on with your career later."
Not that she would enjoy being pregnant. "I loathed wearing my fake bump - I hated looking fat. The only bonus was that I could eat before going on the set."

Pictures of pussy tattoos Don't use free tattoo design websites. Why? Well everyone already has that design. These free websites feature stale and overused designs that way too many people have used.

Many people choose to get a tattoo now a day. It is will noticed that Maori tattoo designs are often the choice made by people searching for tribal tattoos. pictures of pussy tattoosPictures of pussy tattoos Sometimes the rose tattoo design appears as a border around other tattoo designs as ornamentation. Almost every tattoo shop in the world has this sort of flower design within their tattoo image catalog. pictures of pussy tattoos If there's one thing that tattoo enthusiasts hate about the tattoo industry, it is the inclination to the trends set forth by celebrities. Not that it's wrong to emulate their custom tattoo designs: but there are some people who think that just because celebrity X has a hot Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her thigh, getting that same tattoo on their thighs too will make them as gorgeous as their idol. As a result, there is no room for any creativity when a designer has to create a tattoo design for the client.
