A quick look at the new Facebook group: "Help us re-unite this lass with her camera" might leave you thinking it is a philanthopic gesture about lost property.
But closer inspection reveals exactly why the men who found the camera are quite so keen to make contact with its owner.
Because it contains several pictures of the girl - who just happens to be extremely easy on the eye and wearing very little clothing.
Scroll down for more...

The girl appears to like taking pictures of herself in the mirror

The creator of the group on the social networking site, Craig Radford, has thoughfully posted the pictures in a bid to find the stunner - much to everyone else's viewing pleasure.
In one, the blonde-haired beauty looks coquettishly over her shoulder in only a pair of French knickers and some black high-heels as she takes a picture of herself in the mirror.
Another, again of her taking a picture of herself, shows her wearing pink satin and black underwear while a third shows her in a shocking pink bra and polka dot pants.
A different set of pictures show her and a friend - another blonde bombshell - lounging on the beach in their bikinis.

The stunner poses on the beach in her bikini

Membership figures for the group are already fast approaching the 20,000 mark.
The site states: "We are trying to track down the lovely lass in these photos so she can be reunited with her lost Digital Camera & we want that as she certainly knows how to use it!!
"Please get invites sent out to all gents in ur friends list as if we all work 2gether we can hunt this lass down..."
Ben Hutchings simply writes: "Blimey" while Steve Roberts from Leeds says: "We need to make contact with this fitty and get her to take a couple more photo's to prove her real identity!!! Then I dont mind doing the hard task of taking the camera back to her."

The blonde delivers another pout for the camera

Valentin Pomfret said: "This must be a digital touch up, she's amazing, i've seen some things in my time but that takes the biscuit. Kick Nelson off and put her on the column (no pun intended)."

They Leave Nothin’ But the Bones and the Earth Died Screaming

Cynthia Vanderlip, manager of the State of Hawaii's Kure Atoll Wildlife Sanctuary, cut open the dead body of a fledgling Laysan albatross (nicknamed "Shed Bird") to find more than half a pound of plastic in its stomach.

Concentrated on the right are all the items retrieved from inside the bird: Plastic lighters, bottle caps, and other plastics that are carelessly tossed often wind up floating on the ocean surface, where they are occasionally consumed by foraging seabirds and other marine creatures.

Pastor had sex with daughters      
Incest Incest Conquest
Incest Incest It's the best
August 30, 2007 - 5:37PM

A fundamentalist church pastor had sex with two of his teenage daughters to educate them on how to be good wives, a South Australian court has heard.

The 54-year-old man, who cannot be named, was today sentenced in the SA District Court to eight and a half years jail after pleading guilty to seven counts each of incest and unlawful sexual intercourse.

The court heard that the man had sex with his daughters for nearly a decade from 1991 when they were aged 13 and 15 at the family property.

The sex took place at various locations including in a shearer's shed, a paddock, on the back of a ute and, on one occasion, at the girls' grandparents.

The man told the court the sex was not about fulfilling his desires but about teaching his daughters how to behave for their husbands when they eventually married, as dictated in scripture.

In sentencing, Judge David Lovell said the misrepresentation of scripture used to justify the abuse of the girls "defied belief", and that he had "hypocritically betrayed" his religion and principles.

"You said the acts were about learning about sex rather than engaging in the acts of sex," Judge Lovell said.

"I do not accept that.

"You treated your daughters as your property ... using them to satisfy and gratify your sexual urges."

Judge Lovell gave full credit for the man's guilty pleas, saying he was genuinely remorseful and had a good chance of rehabilitation as his wife and the church remained supportive.

The man will be eligible for parole in four years.

Once a Beach Is Nourished, It Is Necessary to Regularly Renourish It

Miami Beach is running out of sand. Troublesome, because it's a community that draws its very life from the stuff. The city and its famous strip, South Beach, thrive off the sunbathers who come from across the globe to spread their towels and lie upon the coarse granules laden with seashell – generating $4.2 billion annually from tourism. The sand also protects the community from the pounding waves of hurricanes.

For 30 years the city has replenished its beaches with sand from offshore sources, pumping it directly from the ocean floor. But these sources are thinning, and the process is complicated by three sensitive coral reefs that run parallel to the coastline. Consequently, local leaders must look elsewhere for sand.

Just taking the sand from elsewhere, they've learned, is not a neighborly thing to do. They sparked controversy last year when they sought sand offshore from St. Lucie County, some 120 miles up the East Coast. Residents there accused Miami Beach of plotting to rob them of sand. So now they are eyeing sandy shores across the sea. Miami Beach leaders are turning toward foreign sources such as the Bahamas. They've received offers from the Dominican Republic, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Mexico. In the Dominican Republic, for example, a fish farm offered to sell Miami Beach sand from newly dug fish ponds.

But there's a problem: Federal law prevents Miami Beach from considering foreign sources until a domestic search is exhausted. { CS Monitor | Continue reading }

“Gravity is no longer my enemy, but brownies are,”

New Playtex bra campaign has candid banter about "the girls"

August 29, 2007

By IEVA M. AUGSTUMS

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The torture of an ill-fitting bra. The annoyance of a colleague's eyes slowly moving south during a conversation. The toll gravity takes on "the girls."

Playtex is exposing the candid conversations women have about their chests, and the various euphemisms they use, in a new marketing campaign aimed at helping women overcome the challenge of finding a well-fitting bra.

The company's solution: its intimate apparel products.

"We uncovered that women of all shapes and sizes talk about their bras and breasts in funny, witty and candid ways," said Vicki Seawright, marketing director for Playtex intimate apparel, which is part of Winston-Salem-based Hanesbrands Inc.

"We found that women are proud of their bodies and really confident about themselves," Seawright said Wednesday, shortly after the campaign was announced.

The multimillion dollar "Girl Talk" campaign — one of the largest in the brands' history — will be spread across television, print and online advertisements beginning Monday. The ads feature women engaging in amusingly honest banter about their breasts, at times using nicknames usually reserved for when men aren't around.

Consumers will see the ads over the next few months during daytime television and in women's lifestyle and fashion magazines. Among the featured slogans are "Gravity is no longer my enemy, but brownies are," "Wearing a bra shouldn't be punishment" and "Eyes up here."

Playtex also will utilize YouTube and American Greetings to help "support" — rather than promote — the Playtex 18 Hour bra and Playtex Secrets product lines.
For example, a woman can perk up a friend's day by sending a "Girl Talk" e-card. Female consumers also can submit their own bra story under a link dubbed "BYOB" (Bring Your Own Bras).

That array of advertising, Seawright said, underscores the "the diversity of our Playtex bras to fit the many needs of real women."

The new campaign harkens back to the brands' innovative marketing roots when Playtex intimate apparel was the first bra brand to advertise nationally on television in 1954. Seawright said Playtex did so with a great-fitting bra and a touch of humor.

"They were happy to hear that someone was finally talking about the good, the bad and the ugly that comes with wearing a bra, and that we were helping them find solutions," she said.

Burning Man's icon goes up in flames, 4 days prematurely


Wednesday August 29, 2007 2:31 AM

By LISA LEFF

Associated Press Writer

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Burning Man became Burnt Man four days early on Tuesday, and a San Francisco performance artist was arrested on suspicion of igniting the signature figure of the counterculture festival in the remote Nevada desert.

The early morning fire scorched about 85 percent of the structure, Burning Man spokeswoman Andie Grace said. Event engineers decided it would be best to dismantle it and rebuild a less elaborate version, accomplishing in two days what normally takes weeks so the figure would be finished in time for Saturday night's scheduled burning, she said.

The approximately 40-foot-tall wood and neon structure was supposed to go up in flames in the ceremonial climax of the weeklong annual event. Burning Man, an art, music and performance festival that draws thousands of people, began in San Francisco in 1986 and moved to Nevada's Black Rock Desert in 1990.

Many festival-goers who were awake watching Tuesday's lunar eclipse said they saw a man deliberately ignite the figure at about 3 a.m., Grace said.

``It was in plain sight of many people,'' she said. ``Everyone is looking at it this morning, this big black figure in the sky and that wasn't supposed to burn, saying, 'Now what do we do?'''

No injuries were reported, and the festival's in-house fire department, the Black Rock City Emergency Services Department, extinguished the fire in less than half an hour, Grace said. The fire also damaged part of the Green Man Pavilion, the exhibition space on which the figure was perched, Grace said.

Paul Addis, 35, of San Francisco, was booked into the Pershing County, Nev., jail on suspicion of arson, illegal possession of fireworks, destruction of property and resisting a public officer, according to the sheriff's department. He posted a $25,632 bond, a sheriff's dispatcher said.

Sheriff's officials did not know whether he had a lawyer. No one answered at two phone numbers listed in his name.

Addis is an actor and writer who is active in the San Francisco arts scene and recently portrayed Hunter S. Thompson in a play about the late journalist known for his drug-fueled lifestyle, according to entertainment listings posted on the Internet.

Grace said she assumed the early burn was timed to coincide with the eclipse.

``It's obviously a pretty selfish act, and people are disappointed about that, but spirits overall are pretty high,'' she said.

Indian tech outfit outsources to US

Needed to find cheap third world labour

By: Nick Farrell Tuesday 28 August 2007, 07:39

AN INDIAN outsourcing company has outsourced 500 jobs to Atlanta in the US.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bangalore-based Wipro plans to locate 500 to 1,000 jobs in Atlanta within the next three years.

The outfit wants to hire software developers and engineers.

Apparently Wipro is being hit by the rising cost of engineers in Bangalore and no longer benefits from a cheap rupee.

Instead it is cheaper to buy US firms and establish manufacturing and research centres across the country. It seems Wipro is prepared to risk alienating its Indian customers by forcing them to deal with quaint American dialects.
