Speaking to fibre2fashion, managing director of Woodland, Mr. Harkirat Singh said, "We are planning to launch high-end clothing collections in next three to four months time."
"The high-end fashion collections will compliment with our shoes and accessories range," he adds.
Giving the rationale behind the company's decision to enter the premium segment, he says, ", High-end garments add to the vibrancy of the stores since they are more colorful and it gives the store a complete look."
Woodland is also planning to open 10 new exclusive stores of its sub-brand Woods this year. "We are planning to open around 10 stores of Woods in cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata and other cities this year," he adds.
Woodland is the flagship brand of the business house Aero Group and it offers a wide range of apparels for men, women and kids, which are available through over 380 exclusive stores and around 4000 multi-brand stores.

- Abstract
- Cited By
Recent theory and research on men and masculinities within feminist and critical social psychologies has largely drawn upon social constructionism and discourse analysis. This work has been useful in extending our understanding of contemporary discourses drawn upon by men to construct masculine identities and/or to construct 'subordinated others' such as women and gay men. But it has been pointed out that discourse analytic work does not adequately account for emotional or experiential dimensions to (masculine) identities. To address this problem, several writers have turned to versions of psychoanalytic theory as this perspective is directly concerned with emotional life. Psychoanalysis has been reworked so that concepts traditionally read as intra-psychic essences (e. g. anxiety, desire, defence) are re-interpreted as interpersonal and contextual. Informed by this work, I argue that a psychoanalytic, particularly Kleinian, reading of focus group discussions with heterosexual men can help illuminate aspects of the contemporary reproduction of masculinities. I use data collected from a 'men and masculinities' project and focus primarily on emotive talk which 'others' gay men and women. Concepts such as 'projection' are used to connect the men's constructions of others with shared anxieties about masculinities. The implications and advantages of pursuing psychoanalytic accounts of (masculine) subjectivities within social psychology are then discussed.

The East of England has again been battered by heavy rain and winds gusting up to 70 mph.
Power has been restored to most customers in the east after Friday night's strong gales.
More than 7,000 customers in the region were left with no power.
Now there are only a handful of properties without electricity.
UK Power Networks say Essex has the most without power at 76, while Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire only have around 10 each.
A severely disabled baby should be allowed to die - despite protests from his parents, a High Court judge has ruled.
A fine day with plenty of sunshine, especially at first. Staying dry for most, although some cloud will build during the afternoon.
Long spells of sunshine this weekend will result in very warm, locally hot temperatures. Highs of 29ºC or even 30ºC.

HIS Radeon HD 5770 1GB Video Card
World in Conflict
Version and / or Patch Used: 22.214.171.124
Timedemo or Level Used: Built-in Test
Developer Homepage: http://www.massive.se
Product Homepage: http://www.worldinconflict.com
World in Conflict is a real-time strategy video game by Massive Entertainment and to be published by Sierra Entertainment for Windows (DX9 and DX10).
The game is set in 1989 where economic troubles cripple the Soviet Union and threaten to dissolve it. However, the title pursues a "what if" scenario where, in this case, the Soviet Union does not collapse and instead pursues a course of war to remain in power. It is an intensive new game that is sure to put plenty of stress on even the latest graphics cards. We use the built-in benchmarking for our testing.
WIC is pretty intensive and you can see the HD 5750 struggles to break a 30 FPS minimum at both resolutions. While the HD 5770 runs into the same problems at 1920 x 1200, you can see we're above the 30 FPS minimum at 1680 x 1050.

The cleanliness of my room was abysmal. The attitudes of some of the staff members was unacceptable; particularly the restaurant downstairs. I had to issue several complaints regarding technical problems with my television, my room key disabling itself and hair in my bed sheets, to name a few. This hotel was once considered for a 5 star upgrade so it's very difficult to fathom its current state. I'm extremely disappointed.

cherbourg five boats.
(photo credit:IPO)
Forty years ago this Christmas eve, five small boats showing almost no lights slipped out of Cherbourg harbor into the teeth of a Force 9 gale which kept even large freighters from venturing out.
Built for the Israel Navy, the vessels had been embargoed at the beginning of the year by French president Charles de Gaulle. Their empty berths on Christmas Day and the absence of any announcement about the embargo's termination prompted media inquiries, which failed to elicit convincing explanations. "Where are they?" asked a banner headline in a local newspaper.
In the news doldrums of the holiday season, the international media scented an outlandish story: Had Israel stolen back its own boats? A television team flew out over the North Sea to see if the boats were headed for Norway, to which they had ostensibly been sold; others flew out over the Mediterranean.
The boats were indeed on the run. Battered by towering waves as they crossed the Bay of Biscay, they dropped anchor in a Portuguese cove alongside an Israeli freighter fitted out as a refueling ship, one of several support vessels deployed along the 5,150-km. escape route. When the boats entered the Mediterranean, British maritime monitors on Gibraltar signaled "What ship?" A Lloyd's helicopter circled the silent vessels but saw no identity numbers or flags. The British monitors, guessing the boats' destination from the media reports, flashed "bon voyage" in salute to Nelsonian flair.
Stung by Israel's audacity, French defense minister Michel Debre called for the air force to interdict the vessels which had been spotted off the North African coast racing east. Prime minister Jacques Chaban-Delmas refused. Near Crete, IAF Phantoms roared low overhead protectively and waggled their wings. The boats sailed into Haifa harbor on New Year's Eve, 1970, to cheers for a bravado display of high-stakes hutzpa.
For Israel's navy, however, the flight from Cherbourg was no lighthearted caper but a matter of life or death - its own. A decade earlier, it had been warned that it could be downsized to a coast guard because of budget constraints. In 1960, the navy commander, Admiral Yohai Bin-Nun, assembled his senior officers in naval headquarters on Mount Carmel to explore alternatives. Renowned for his exploits as a naval commando, Bin-Nun offered a low-cost alternative of his own - a navy based entirely on naval commandos who would strike at enemy navies in their bases.
From two days of heated discussion, an even more radical idea floated to the surface. A guided missile developed by Rafael, the keystone of Israel's nascent arms industry, had drawn no interest from the ground or air forces. If the Luz, as it was called, could be adapted for use at sea, suggested one of Bin-Nun's officers, it might be mounted on inexpensive patrol boats and provide them with a powerful punch. No such weapon system existed in the West although, unknown to the participants, one was nearing completion in the Soviet Union.
TO IDENTIFY a craft that could serve as a platform for the concept, Bin-Nun dispatched officers to several Western navies. Their choice was a German torpedo boat, the Jaguar, which had begun life in World War II as a Schnellboot (S-boat). "This is a ship of war," reported the search team after returning from a training exercise on a Jaguar in the North Sea.
In 1962, the Soviets began distributing their new Komar missile boat to Warsaw Pact allies and friendly Arab countries. Bin-Nun decided it was time to seek government backing for Israel's own missile boat concept. Meeting with the dynamic deputy defense minister, Shimon Peres, he was surprised by the quick response. "You'll get the money." It would come from the military aid package the German Federal Republic had been persuaded to provide, largely by Peres himself.
To oversee the project, Bin-Nun assigned his deputy, Capt. Shlomo Erell, who enthusiastically embraced it. The Luz warhead was as devastating as the eight-inch shell of a heavy cruiser, its range was about the same and if its guidance system could function in a rolling sea its chances of hitting a target were far greater than gunfire. Israel could not think of acquiring a new 3,500-ton destroyer, let alone a 15,000-ton cruiser, but if the missile boat could be realized, it would have a fleet of 240-ton vessels as powerful as a cruiser, faster than any destroyer and capable of sinking any ship in the eastern Mediterranean.
In blissful ignorance of the difficulties that lay ahead, Erell organized a think tank of naval officers and asked them to begin formulating the outlines of the boat circling at the center of his mind.
Development of the maritime version of the Luz, which was guided onto target by an operator using a joystick, was proving problematic. A maverick engineer at Rafael, Ori Even-Tov, whose alternative suggestions were ignored, was lured away by Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), founded by American immigrant Al Schwimmer, and brought to meet Erell. He proposed dropping the joystick approach and developing an autonomous guidance system that would enable the missile to seek out the target by itself, even in darkness. To the dismay of Rafael, Erell ordered the project shifted to IAI.
Ensconced in a large, empty office, Even-Tov asked for two things - a mathematician to work with him and a set of basic American textbooks on airborne radar and allied fields. Ground-to-air and air-to-air missiles employing radar to home on targets existed in the West, but Israel was not privy to their secrets. What was available was textbook theory, and this the two men now ingested. For weeks, they pored over the material like students cramming for an exam, pausing to exchange comments and make notes. When they were finished, Even-Tov had a clear vision of his direction. It was one never taken before.
He proposed using an altimeter to have the missile fly just a few meters above the sea surface, making it a difficult target to hit by defensive weapons and enabling it to strike at the waterline. Radar would home the missile onto target. His proposal to split the guidance system by using both altimeter and radar was an innovation in missile technology. The Luz, whose aerodynamic features were retained, had been steered by impulses sent to its tail from the ground.
The redesigned missile, dubbed the Gabriel, would be a homing missile that tracked the target on its own. But the cone, in which a rotating radar would normally be placed for this purpose, was packed with explosives and redesign of the missile would involve unbearable outlays and delay. Instead, Even-Tov improvised a stationary radar antenna projecting from the missile's side.
When at Erell's request he presented his report to Peres, Even-Tov saw a copy of it already lying on the latter's desk. Alongside it was an analysis from Rafael and the air force that Peres had requested. Their conclusion was that, on the basis of the data supplied by Even-Tov himself, the proposal was totally unfeasible. Peres was nevertheless reluctant to drop the project which would enable Israel's fledgling military industries to cut their teeth on a substantial venture. He told Even-Tov he would send him to France to meet with engineers at three of the country's leading aeronautical plants to get their appraisals.
At two of the plants the verdict was a resounding negative. At the third, the chief engineer, a White Russian, questioned Even-Tov closely. "I think it can work," he said finally. "But it won't take five years and $5 million as you say but more like 20 years and $50 million." On the basis of that one quasi-positive appraisal, Peres authorized continuation of the program.
Meanwhile, German naval engineers, at the request of Israeli counterparts, were redesigning the Jaguar boats that had been ordered, including lengthening them by 2.4 meters to accommodate the numerous systems the Israelis wished to place aboard. Plans to build the boats in a German shipyard were scuttled when Arab states learned of it and threatened to break off relations with Germany. Germany would quietly provide the funds for the boats, but they would now be built in the Cherbourg shipyard of 70-year-old Felix Amiot.
BACK IN Haifa, the teams appointed by Erell to develop the overall weapon system now numbered hundreds of men, including naval officers and engineers and scientists from military industries. The highly classified project was dubbed Shalechet (Falling Leaves). The teams were divided into subgroups, each charged with resolving a specific design aspect. How many masts were needed to accommodate the dense electronics array? What kind of engine was powerful enough to provide 40 knots, yet small enough for this size boat? How could launch procedures be made simple enough to enable seamen in the midst of battle - not just technicians in laboratory conditions - to operate the system?
The questions were endless and each solution carried with it new problems. How can missiles be launched on the small deck without endangering the crew manning the gun nearby? What to do about mutual interference - electronic, noise, electromagnetic - among systems located near each other? How to prevent the sea-skimming Gabriel being struck by waves in rough seas?
The team leaders met regularly to report on progress and thrash out differences. Search radar, which scanned for enemy ships, and fire-control radar, which guided the missile at the beginning of its flight, vied with each other for higher position on the mast; gun and torpedo tubes elbowed each other for position on the deck; sonar argued against being thrown out to save weight. When no compromise could be reached, the Shalechet chief would generally decide; sometimes the decision would be passed on to the navy commander. The project's expanding scope obliged the navy to triple the number of men passing through its officers' courses.
The heart of the system was the below-decks war room, the combat information center, from which boat commanders would direct the battle. The radar screens, consoles and communication equipment were state-of-the-art. Information from the boat's sensors and outside sources like aircraft or other ships would be instantly analyzed and displayed to provide a real-time picture of the battle zone and clear options.
The flow of information was constant - from everyone to everyone - and the pace manic. Tests were constantly being set, reports presented, contracts for components signed, meetings scheduled. The pace would last for years, laced for all with moments of despair when it seemed mad to have attempted the enterprise, when it seemed an exercise in hubris that must end in farce, if not tragedy. As the pieces slowly began to fit together, however, this mood gave way to a sense of an epic voyage. Looking about him, Erell was convinced that no major power had ever invested as much energy in the design of a battleship.
It was the biggest and most complex technical enterprise ever undertaken by Israel until then and would be a major turning point for its military industries. Fear of being overtaken by war drove all with a sense of urgency. At the IAI plant at Lod, key men on the Gabriel project put in at least 12-14 hours every day of the year except Yom Kippur; Even-Tov and a few others came in on that day as well. Leaving the windowless plant to go home, they were sometimes startled to find that night had come, sometimes come and gone.
Some key elements like radar and the fire-control system had to be developed abroad since Israel did not yet have the know-how. Naval officers and IAI engineers were posted at plants in Europe to work with foreign engineers on their design and production. As they gained confidence, the Israeli engineers overcame initial diffidence and began demanding changes from the veteran continental engineers who more than once expressed skepticism about what they were being asked to do.
Straw boss of the Shalechet teams was engineer Aviah Shalif, who had grown up in Jerusalem with Even-Tov and Yohai Bin-Nun. Wiry and acerbic, he could deftly lay a tangled problem bare and propose a solution. His ability to make quick decisions and keep things moving was more important than the relative merits of the technical approaches he had to choose between. There were no pauses for agonized reflection as long as he was in the picture. In a document of several hundred pages, he formulated the comprehensive "logic" of the weapon system, showing how all the elements were linked and how they affected each other. It was an excruciating task, carried out without the aid of a computer, which he had not yet learned to use.
For most of the men involved, this would be the greatest adventure of their lives. A backward navy in a small country with no sophisticated industrial base had taken upon itself to create a major weapon system. Officers who had sailed in nothing but antiquated World War II castoffs found themselves plunging through uncharted waters at the frontier of military science. The challenge evoked ingenuity, technical daring and sometimes engineering brilliance.
IN OCTOBER 1967, the threat of the Soviet missile boats supplied to the Arabs became suddenly real when the Israeli flagship, the destroyer Eilat, was sunk by three Styx missiles fired by an Egyptian vessel emerging from Port Said, 21 km. away. Forty-three sailors were killed and more than 100 wounded.
The accuracy and deadliness of the Styx stunned the naval command. Many there had thought the Soviets, who had gone through World War II without developing effective radar, incapable of devising a homing missile. Capt. Herut Tzemah, the chief electronics officer, was tasked by Erell with coming up with a solution. Examining what was known about Soviet missile technology and speculating on how his opposite number in Leningrad had designed the Styx radar, he sketched out proposed methods for jamming it. In addition, he recommended the use of rockets firing chaff, strips of aluminum that confuse radars by reflecting their beams. Israel did not yet have the electronics base for producing the sophisticated equipment Tzemah wanted built, and the navy turned for assistance to a major electronics firm in Italy.
The critical importance of an anti-missile shield became apparent when Israel learned that the Styx had a 45 kilometer range compared to the Gabriel's 20. This meant that the Israeli boats could be exposed to incoming missiles for close to half an hour before they reached Gabriel range. Whether or not the boats survived the crossing of this so-called "missile belt" depended on how accurately Tzemah had guessed the Styx parameters.
In 1969 the first test of a Gabriel with a live warhead was staged, with a defunct destroyer as target. As observers watched, a missile lifted off a naval vessel. Half a minute later there was a flash and explosion. A second missile sent the destroyer to the bottom, carrying with it a naval era. It had taken eight years to develop the Gabriel, more than the five Even-Tov had estimated but far less than the French expert had predicted. The development cost of $11 million was less than a 10th of what it would have been in the US, Even-Tov would estimate.
SEVEN OF the 12 boats ordered from Cherbourg had reached Haifa to be fitted out when the embargo in January 1969 cut off the last five. De Gaulle imposed the embargo after Israeli commandos raided Beirut airport in reprisal for an attack on an El Al plane in Athens. Admiral (ret.) Mordecai Limon, head of Israel's arms purchasing mission in Paris and a former navy commander, advocated running off with the boats, but prime minister Golda Meir refused for fear that France might sever relations. Eventually she agreed on condition that the boats' extraction be carried out "not illegally." Limon would demonstrate that the gap between legal and "not illegal" was wide enough to push through a missile boat squadron.
Through an intermediary, Limon met with prominent Norwegian shipbuilder Martin Siemm. A resistance leader during World War II, Siemm had visited Israel and admired its vitality. Limon spelled out the importance of the embargoed boats, which Israel still owned, and proposed their fictional sale to Siemm, who would secretly sell them back to Israel. There was nothing in it for Siemm except the possibility of serious legal entanglements, but he agreed.
Limon and his wife, a former Miss Israel, hosted parties in their Left Bank apartment attended by French officials, and Limon found sympathetic ears among them. He decided that the boats would have to slip out before the authorities could closely examine the thin legal cover he was about to create. Christmas Eve was chosen because the alertness of the port authorities would presumably be dimmed.
On December 22, Limon met in Paris with Siemm and Amiot. The owner of the Cherbourg shipyard signed a contract with Limon canceling the original sale of the boats to Israel. Amiot then signed a contract with Siemm selling the boats to the Norwegian for the same price. Copies of the contracts were immediately dispatched to the relevant French authorities. The next day, the three men met again to secretly sign contracts undoing everything they had signed the day before.
Meanwhile, 80 Israeli sailors in civilian dress were dispatched in small groups to Cherbourg where they were hidden below decks by the skeleton crews maintaining the boats. The gale on Christmas Eve threatened to keep the boats bottled up, but at 2 a.m. the BBC reported the wind shifting slightly and the boats cast off. Limon waited on the wharf for half an hour, his raincoat collar turned up against the driving rain, to see if the storm would force the boats back. He then drove to Amiot's nearby apartment. He had to wait a few moments before Amiot's sleepy voice responded to his knock.
"I want to inform you," said Limon after entering, "that the boats have sailed." The old man bowed his head and began weeping. He poured cognac into glasses and the two men toasted each other and the operation's success. Before leaving, Limon took a billfold from his jacket pocket and handed Amiot his final payment, a check for $5 million.
It would take another three years after the boats' arrival in Israel before the missile boat flotilla was ready, with not a day to spare. It concluded its first full-scale maneuvers the day before Yom Kippur 1973. War broke out the next day.
THAT NIGHT, five boats led by flotilla commander Michael Barkai sailed north to engage in the first-ever missile battle at sea off the main Syrian port of Latakia. The feisty Barkai told his captains that their objective was to draw the Syrian missile boats out of harbor. "If they don't come out, I mean to sail in and get them with guns."
Two Syrian picket boats were encountered well off the Syrian coast. The first, a torpedo boat, was sunk with gunfire. The second, a minesweeper, was hit with missiles, the Gabriel's first blood. Three Syrian missile boats already at sea turned to meet the intruders. With their 25-kilometer advantage, the Syrians got in the first salvo. The Israeli boats raised their electronic umbrella and charged.
In naval headquarters, officers monitoring Barkai's radio net heard him report the Syrian launch. His voice was level but taut. Herut Tzemah braced. The lives of 200 men as well as the fate of the missile boat program hung now on whether he had assessed the Styx's parameters correctly. The radio remained silent for the two minutes it took for the Syrian missiles to complete their flight. Then Barkai's voice. "They missed." The three Syrian boats ran for harbor, but one, the only one with missiles remaining, turned on the closest Israeli pursuer.
As the two boats raced at each other, the Syrian fired first. The Israeli vessel again put up its electronic and chaff umbrella and at maximum Gabriel range launched two missiles. The Styx and Gabriel missiles passed each other, the former hitting the sea, the latter exploding on the deck of the Syrian vessel. A second Syrian boat was sunk a few moments later. The Soviet-built vessels had no countermeasures and were doomed once the Israelis reached Gabriel range. The captain of the third Syrian boat, realizing the situation, ran his vessel onto the shore to escape.
Word of the stunning success brought crowds down to the Haifa breakwater the next morning to welcome the returning squadron. Barkai had decided that there would be no brooms tied to masts, the traditional symbol of a naval victory. Any flaunting of the victory over the Syrians, he said, "wouldn't be respectful to them or to ourselves."
The next night, the story was repeated off the Egyptian coast, with three Egyptian missile boats sunk and no Israeli vessel hit. For the remainder of the war, neither the Syrian nor Egyptian fleets would venture out again, enabling more than 100 freighters carrying vital supplies to safely reach Israel, which was in the throes of a brutal, two-front ground war.
In retrospect, the most impressive display of daring would prove to have been not the escape from Cherbourg or even the boats' bold battle performance, but the audacity of the naval planners in the 1960s in permitting themselves to think beyond the horizon.

Our 6 year old had the time of his life fishing from the docks and from the boat. We happened to be there during pretty hot weather, but had plenty of shade, lots of lake breezes, and the bedroom air conditioners made sleeping easy.

Bouncing with delight! Kendra Wilkinson smiles as she works up a sweat on trampoline while practicing for reality diving show
She is preparing to hopefully win the reality TV show she is taking part in.
And although Kendra Wilkinson is certainly ambitious, it's good to see she likes to have fun too.
The star didn't take herself too seriously on Tuesday as she took to a trampoline to go through some diving skills for Splash.
All smiles: Kendra Wilkinson practiced her dives for the upcoming ABC show Splash in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday
The petite blonde wore her hair back in a braided ponytail and donned grey jogging bottoms with a green T-shirt for the activity.
The bare foot lady's toenails were painted in dark polish as she span around while harnessed in.
While she looked determined to perfect her technique – as she held her arms up in the air and positioned her derriere far behind her – she also had a laugh as she landed unstably on her feet.
Point those toes! The petite star seemed to have really mastered the technique
Stretch those arms! The blonde donned grey jogging bottoms and a green T-shirt
She would have been burning plenty of calories during the fun but strenuous exercise and planned on loading up on energy as she acknowledged Mardi Gras in Los Angeles.
She posted on Twitter: 'It's goin down at @travellegaines house tonight. Celebratin #FatTuesday. Wooooo. It's a party it's a party it's a party. :)'
The day before, Kendra - who recently celebrated their son Hank Jr.'s third birthday - went make-up free for a family fun day at a Malibu park.
Bouncing around: Kendra let loose as she safely jumped around in a harness
With her platinum locks in a messy updo, the 27-year-old looked like she'd rolled out of bed in a grey hoodie which read 'Rebel Yell 1978,' black sweatpants, and trainers.
The curly-haired three-year-old matched his famous mother in a grey hoodie, red athletic trousers, and navy blue trainers as he gleefully rode a swing at the playground.
Her former NFL wide receiver husband was also dressed casually in a white T-shirt, black Nike shorts, and red trainers.
The loved-up couple, married three years, appeared to have a good time watching Little Hank play in the picturesque park.
'I'm really thinking in the next couple months': Kendra went make-up free for a family fun day at a Malibu park Monday after revealing that she and Hank Baskett are ready to have another child
Weee! The loved-up couple, married three years, appeared to have a good time watching the curly-haired three-year-old play in the picturesque park
Big boy adventure! The curly-haired three-year-old matched his famous mother in a grey hoodie and red athletic trousers as he gleefully climbed a boulder
'I have a lot coming up in the next couple of months,' Kendra told E! News at OK! Magazine's pre-Grammy party at Sound Nightclub in Hollywood.
'But I'm really thinking in the next couple months, we're going to start trying because, you know, there's a lot I have to get out of my system before I put something back in it, if you know what I mean.'
The former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner has been hard at work on ABC's upcoming diving series, Splash, in which 10 celebrities leap 10 meters into the pool.

Making a splash: Kendra, who's afraid of heights, has already been spotted on the set wearing a full wetsuit in order to combat LA's winter 40-degree temperatures
She'll join fellow contestants Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Louie Anderson, Nicole Eggert, Keshia Knight Pulliam, and Katherine Webb on the reality show premiering March 19.
Kendra, who's afraid of heights, has
already been spotted on the set wearing a full wetsuit in order to
combat LA's winter 40-degree temperatures.
The former Playboy playmate said:
'It's really inspired me to get [Hank Jr.] to go out and learn how to
swim and jump in the pool, so that's what we're going to start doing now
Real-life pin-up: She'll join fellow contestants Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Louie Anderson, Nicole Eggert, Keshia Knight Pulliam, and Katherine Webb on the reality show premiering March 19
Mother-of-one: The former Playboy playmate donned a sexy cut-out LBD for the Super Bowl Leather & Laces Party earlier this month
The Wilkinson-Baskett clan prides
themselves on their healthy, fit lifestyle and it helps that Hank is the
owner of a workout facility called Performance Gains.
'Any time I work out, I think...I
want us to be a fitness family. If we had a label I want us to have an
active, healthy family,' the Girls Next Door star said.
As for her other show Kendra On Top, Kendra just informed her 2.1 million Twitter followers that 'Season 2 is coming soon :)'

Twelve contenders, all with issues that could make them pretenders.
To win the first outdoor Super Bowl in a cold-weather city, each team in the NFL playoffs has a flaw it must conquer. A depleted defense in Denver. A sputtering offense in Seattle.
And plenty more elsewhere.
The Seahawks and Broncos both went 13-3 and earned the top seeds in their conferences. Along with the Panthers and Patriots, they get an extra week off to fix their imperfections.
Those four will do well to remember that six of the last eight Super Bowl champions played on wild-card weekend.
"Everybody is 0-0 now," Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said.
New England was the last team to parlay the best regular-season record into a title back in 2003, and the last No. 1 seed that got to say, "We're No. 1!" was the 2009 New Orleans Saints.
Here's a look at the main weakness of each of the 12 teams hoping to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in East Rutherford, N.J. on Feb. 2:

Title: Native plants to attract butterflies
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I'm a Texas A&M Wildlife and Ecology student working with a landowner in Bastrop County, Texas. As part of their Habitat Management Plan, they are hoping to enhance butterfly habitat on their property. We're hoping to open up a few clearings on the heavily forested property (hardwoods) and introduce some native plants to attract butterflies. As such, I'm looking for plants of all levels of sun that tolerate dry conditions on a sandy loam. Any recommendations?
ANSWER:You will want to find plants that are good nectar sources for adults and ones that are caterpillar food. The Cockrell Butterfly Center Guide to Butterfly Gardening in Houston has a list of nectar plants, some of them native and some not. Many of these serve as larval food for caterpillars as well. Of the native ones, here are some that are found in Bastrop County, Texas and should do well in the habitat you describe:
Glandularia bipinnatifida var. bipinnatifida (Dakota mock vervain)
Symphyotrichum oblongifolium (aromatic aster)
Asclepias tuberosa (butterfly milkweed)
Rudbeckia hirta (blackeyed Susan)
Conoclinium coelestinum (blue mistflower)
Solidago altissima (late goldenrod)
Liatris mucronata (cusp blazing star) and other Liatris species.
Phyla nodiflora (turkey tangle fogfruit)
For larval food plants there are several source lists:
Caterpillar Food Plants for Central Texas from Mike Quinn at Texas Parks & Wildlife, Gardening for Butterflies from the Butterfly Enthusiasts of Southeast Texas of the North American Butterfly Asscociation (BEST-NABA) and Native Host Plants for Southeast Texas Butterflies from the Houston Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas.
From these lists here are some suggested plants for Bastrop County:
Asclepias asperula (spider milkweed)
Achillea millefolium (common yarrow)
Gaillardia pulchella (firewheel)
Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet)
Passiflora lutea (yellow passionflower)
Ptelea trifoliata (common hoptree)
Helianthus annuus (common sunflower)
Cornus drummondii (roughleaf dogwood)
Most of these plants are readily available commercially. You can search for nurseries and seed companies in your area that specialize in native plants by visiting our National Suppliers Directory.

Massey A1 should continue their unbeaten streak against Palmerston North Girls' High School in the seventh round of the Manawatu premier netball competition on Tuesday.
The A1 side has dominated the competition this season and the schoolgirls will be coming off a tough game against Tu Toa in their knockout college netball game on Monday night.
Massey are in good form after coming off a big win over their A2 clubmates 69-32 last week, and will want to stay undefeated.
Girls' High also have a lot of injuries so it could be hard for them against the fresh Massey side whose defence was strong last week.
Both teams have no trouble scoring through prolific goal shoots in Kamie Veikoso (Massey) and Keaghan Seymour (Girls' High), but Seymour had a leg injury last week.
Te wananga o Raukawa Rahui are at home in Otaki against Tu Toa at the Nga Purapura Arena instead of at the B&M Centre.
Tu Toa will also be coming off their game the night before as the curtain-raiser to the Central Pulse game against the Adelaide Thunderbirds, so it could be hard for them to back up.
In a rematch of last year's final, Rahui will rate themselves at home and a win will put them into second on the table ahead of Tu Toa.
With two games in two days, Tu Toa will need some of their club players to shoulder more of the workload to take the pressure off their young lineup.
The game between Massey A2 and Red Sox-Olympic should be the tightest of the round, with both teams having struggled for wins this year.
Red Sox finally had a win against Girls' High last week and Massey A2 knocked over the same opposition earlier in the season.
If Red Sox win, then it will leave a six-point gap between them and the A2s, which will make it hard for them to drag themselves off the bottom.
Feilding A1 should be too strong for Feilding A2 even though the A1s are coming off a big loss and the A2s have shown good form recently.
The A1s will also be out to prove they are the top side at the club and with their slick midcourt and attacking options, they should be too much for the A2 team.
Apart from the game in Otaki, all games are at 6pm at the B&M Centre on Tuesday.

Foreign tourists to get tax refund in Goa
Last Updated: Monday, March 18, 2013 - 20:29
Panaji: Foreign tourists who fly into Goa can now shop cheap at the beach paradise.
In his budget speech Monday, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar offered Value Added Tax (VAT) refunds on purchases made while holidaying in Goa.
"I propose to introduce a unique scheme for foreign tourists visiting Goa. They will be entitled to refund of VAT paid against purchases made in the state of Goa," Parrikar said.
"The VAT refund will be done at the Goa airport against valid tax invoices to be produced by foreign tourists on their departure," he said.
The VAT refund scheme, he said, would be applicable from the forthcoming tourist season starting September.
Goa annually receives 2.5 million tourists, of whom half a million are from Russia and Britain.
