How much should I feed my basset?

Monday, May 18th, 2009
watercolour_iris asked:


I have a 1 year old basset hound who weighs about 35 lbs. Right now she’s at a healthy weight for her size (for a basset she’s pretty petite), but I know that you have to watch bassets carefully, and lately she seems to be filling out a little. I’ve always let her eat whatever she wanted as a puppy, but now that she’s older I want to make sure she gets the right amount of food - not too much or too little. Does anyone know of a good way to measure a dog’s food? Do you go by their weight? Thanks!!
I feed her a high quality natural food - organic, no fillers or artificial coloring, etc. I don’t see any charts or feeding instructions on the packaging though. Does anyone who has had bassets know a good feeding standard to keep them healthy?

Tips for Gentlemen on How to Select Beautiful Jewelry for Her

Thursday, May 14th, 2009
Carmelita Moore asked:


When it comes to finding the latest jewelry trends, there are a number of places to look. You can pick up the most recent copy of your favorite celebrity magazine, which is sure to feature plenty of famous faces showcasing the next hottest thing in jewelry. Or, you can watch the award shows and get an idea of the latest in glamour wear. Whether your taste is casual, trendy or glamourous, cubic zirconia set in sterling silver can combine the best of all worlds into one sparkling piece of jewelry.

When deciding where to go for purchasing jewelry, there are a few factors to keep in Mind. Shop around. Look into multiple locations that sell jewelry. Diamond jewelry can be very expensive, so you should be cautious when purchasing. If you are buying a gift, make sure that the piece you have truly symbolizes your love for that person. You don’t want your loved one to receive an expensive gift and not be absolutely floored.

Another thing you should be on the lookout for is a diamond jewelry shop that’s having a sale. When companies have sales, sometimes it is because nobody wants the products they are trying to sell. However, more often than not, sales take place simply because they have old stock that they want to get rid of to make room for a new shipment. Take advantage of a jeweler’s desire to move old merchandise and save yourself a lot of money.

Also browse through websites and of course auction sites, like eBay or auction sites specialized in selling quality jewelry, to find better prices on jewelry than those usually seen at jewelry stores. It’s no problem to find a few reputable websites that offer discount jewelry. Just search Google or your favorite Searchengine for “online jewelry auctions” the results you’ll find are always the top reputable jewelry sites.

By following the tips listed here, you will certainly be able to find the perfect jewelry you have been looking for. Remember that not all jewelry sellers are trustworthy, so always be cautious. Additionally, use common sense when shopping for jewelry. Do not let a salesman swindle you into purchasing something that you feel uneasy about.

Now a few tips for our beloved Gentlemen on how to select the most beautiful jewelry styles for her:

Choosing a necklace for her:

Is she tall? Average? Petite? Your choice of necklace can minimize or emphasize her size. If you want to create or emphasize a taller appearance, choose longer necklaces and V shapes. A necklace that falls past the bust line but above the waist will elongate while a choker style or shorter U shaped necklace resting on the ****** bone will shorten her appearance. If she is petite, go for daintier pieces.

Choosing earrings for her:

Few factors should be kept in mind when you would like to buy earrings for her. Firstly and as most important point, the shape of her face. Second, is her hairstyle. And the last one, are the material and the most fitting style of the earrings that you are going to get for her, ask general questions to find out what material is her favorite.

Choosing bracelets and rings for her:

Choosing a ring for her is quite tricky especially for most men. Of course, it will be easier if she will be coming along with you to the jewelry store. But, you want this to be a surprising gift for her. What to do? There are two solutions, first solution that is easier for you is, you go for something that doesn’t require any measurements such as necklace, pendants, earrings, bracelet or even pin or brooch. The second solution is asks her something about rings. Questions must be in general too, but be aware that each female has kind of an sixth sense when it comes to jewelry and you surely don’t want to ruin the gift. Let say you are reading a magazine and there is an advertisement on jewelry. From there, you can create question by question, as example talking about the girl in the advertisement, than indirectly you can ask what size her finger is and quickly cover up with other question.

The Samsung D840 justifies its position in the ‘D’ series with its slimness of just 11.9 mm. This makes the Samsung D840 one of the slimmest handsets and probably the slimmest slider. The slim dimensions of this petite slider makes it quite an eye candy. Sleek black casing with hints of chrome speaks volume about the quality of the product.

The Samsung D840 not only surprises with its size but also with a host of features that its manufacturers managed to cramp inside.

Origin of the String Bikinis

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
Donald Varner asked:


As a piece of underclothing, and a mandatory beachwear especially in sun-kissed places like Florida, Hawaii and the Carolina states where they are as ubiquitous as the almost-naked bodies that wear them, bikinis have become scantier, more daring, and needless to say, more sexier than the styles and cuts of previous years.

And if it cannot get any skimpier, enter the string bikini, the tiniest version of the bikini which consists of mere swatches of textile (four triangles, to be exact, two each for the top and bottom garments), held together on their ends and are tied together to secure them on the delicate parts of the body.

Obviously, string bikinis owe its name to its stringed trappings that replaces the conventional garter belt in the case of panties, and the elastic band in the case of a woman’s bra.

A Brazilian fashion model named Rose de Primallio was credited for “inventing” this ultra comfortable piece of undergarment around the late 60s to early 70s. By that time, the skimpy bikini is yet to conquer a wider territory as acceptable public beachwear.

Clothing retailers who saw a goldmine in commercializing bikini fashion for the growing number of beach bums sought to formally introduce the bikini as a modern and trendy beach fashion through magazine launch, cover shoots and the fashion ramps.

The story was that the ingenious Ms. Rose had a photo shoot and needed to wear a bikini. It could be that the one set given to her was lost in transit, simply forgotten or coveted by an underwear ****** fiend. In short, the model had to sew one for herself from an insufficient scarp of fabric given to her. The result was the rebirth of the traditional bikini - two triangular fabric pieces connected to the groin, but not on the sides. Instead, there was an attached string (more realistically, a rope-sized piece of the fabric; string would be too prone to accidental exposure) on the left and right edges to lock the back sides to the front sides.

For the bikini top, the same stringed design was incorporated, making a perfect set of what was to become the first crude pair of string bikinis.

The string bikini was first formally presented to the public during the opening of a shopping center called Le Petite Centre in a French-dominated district in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA in 1974. The name of the newly inaugurated retail haven was very apt for the petite “hot number” that was unveiled in its honor.

This brave attempt to introduce the string bikini to a larger audience was credited to the husband-and-wife team of Glen Tororich and Brandi Peret-Dujon. Glen was a public relations agent while Brandi is a supermodel. The two took a cue from a photograph of a fashion model from Rio de Janeiro laid out on the pages of the popular ladies wardrobe companion, Women’s Wear Daily.

Glen and Brandi commissioned a local fashion designer named Lapin to create a special string bikini for the opening of the shopping center. To create a more dramatic entrance, the models wore their string bikinis under fur coats. When the coats were discarded, press photographers had a grand time taking pictures of the new fashion underwear and beach wear, to the excitement of the audience. The event was covered by television stations and photos were published by wire agencies.

After this, there was no stopping the string bikini from conquering not just the wardrobes of ladies everywhere, but also the beaches all over the world.
