Harkleroad in Playboy !


(pic HLN)

PARIS (AFP) - America's Ashley Harkleroad was knocked out of the French Open by Serena Williams on Sunday but stole the headlines from her publicity-conscious compatriot by announcing she has posed for Playboy.

The blonde 22-year-old, who has endured a mediocre career on the women's tour and sits at 61 in the world, revealed she had agreed to the photoshoot while she lay in a hospital bed recovering from surgery to remove a cyst on her ovaries.

Harkleroad, who lost her first round match 6-2, 6-1, believes she is the first tennis player to pose for the magazine and follows American swimmer Amanda Beard in baring all for the cameras.

"I was just lying there in hospital for three weeks, and an offer came to me. I thought about it and it was something that I did. I'm proud of my body," said the Florida native whose pictures will appear in the August edition.

"I stay in shape and try to stay fit. I'm just trying to represent a female athlete and her body. That can be sexy too. It's no big deal."

Williams said she backed Harkleroad's decision to pose for the magazine.

"I do appreciate that magazine. I think Hugh Hefner is a great businessman, and he has a niche that he just did really amazing in," said Williams.

"I'm happy for her if that's what she wanted to do. It takes a lot of courage. And whether I'm courageous enough, I don't know, but it's great for someone to be so courageous and tough."

What I diԁn't know was how I would get all of what I wanted in just six hours. While the effects of antenna polarization may be interpreted as a reduction in the quality of some radio links, some radio designers often make use of this property to tune an antenna to their needs by restricting transmission or reception to signals on a limited number of vectors. Even today, I go big game hunting and all this, and the more dangerous something is, the happier I am.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of
plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd definitely appreciate it.

I bеlieve what you ѕаid madе а ton of sense.
But, conѕider this, ωhat if you ωere to writе a awesome
titlе? Ι аin't saying your content is not solid, however suppose you added something to maybe get a person's
attention? I mеаn "Harkleroad in Playboy !" is а little vаnilla.
You shoulԁ lοok at Yahoο's front page and note how they write news titles to grab people interested. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get people excited about everything've got to

The Brasserie d'Achouffe is a Belgian brewery based in Achouffe. It was founded in 1982 by two brothers-in-law, Pierre Gobron and Christian Bauweraerts, as a hobby. In 1984, Gobron decided to quit his job and to concentrate on his brewery, joined four years later by Bauweraerts. That year (1988), they began to export the beer in Quebec. In September 2006, the brewery was bought by brewery group Duvel Moortgat.

The brewing process of
LA CHOUFFE & Mc CHOUFFE


LA CHOUFFE & Mc CHOUFFE are brewed from spring water and crushed malt barley. This liquid, called “wort”, is pumped into boiling vats, where two types of hops (Styrie & Saaz) are added, as well as sugars and, for LA CHOUFFE, coriander.

After being cooled, the wort is transferred to fermenting vessels. Here, it is fermented into young Beer, thanks to fresh yeast. This young Beer is aged during two weeks, and then pumped into a centrifuge. Then we fill in the bottles or kegs with this Beer and with fresh yeast, to allow a second fermentation.

After three weeks, both LA CHOUFFE and Mc CHOUFFE leave the Brewery, to delight Beer lovers all around the world…
