An access control file contains rules that specify which users (or groups of users) are authorized to perform certain operations on a message broker. These operations include the following:
Creating a connection
Creating a message producer for a physical destination
Creating a message consumer for a physical destination
Browsing a queue destination
Auto-creating a physical destination
If access control is enabled (that is, if the broker's imq.accesscontrol.enabled configuration property is set to true, the broker will consult its access control file whenever a client attempts one of these operations, to verify whether the user generating the request (or a group to which the user belongs) is authorized to perform the operation. By editing this file, you can restrict access to these operations to particular users and groups. Changes take effect immediately; there is no need to restart the broker after editing the file.
Each broker has it own access control file, created automatically when the broker is started. The file is named accesscontrol.properties and is located at a path of the form
(See Appendix A, Platform-Specific Locations of Message Queue Data for the exact location, depending on your platform.)
The file is formatted as a Java properties file. It starts with a version property defining the version of the file:
This is followed by three sections specifying the access control for three categories of operations:
Creating connections
Creating message producers or consumers, or browsing a queue destination
Auto-creating physical destinations
Each of these sections consists of a sequence of authorization rules specifying which users or groups are authorized to perform which specific operations. These rules have the following syntax:
Table 9–5 describes the various elements.Table 9–5 Authorization Rule Elements
Type of resource to which the rule applies:
connection: Connections
queue: Queue destinations
topic: Topic destinations
Specific resource (connection service type or destination) to which the rule applies
An asterisk (*) may be used as a wild-card character to denote all resources of a given type: for example, a rule beginning with queue.* applies to all queue destinations.
Operation to which the rule applies
This syntax element is not used for resourceType=connection.
Level of access authorized:
allow: Authorize user to perform operation
deny: Prohibit user from performing operation
Type of principal (user or group) to which the rule applies:
user: Individual user
group: User group
List of principals (users or groups) to whom the rule applies, separated by commas
An asterisk (*) may be used as a wild-card character to denote all users or all groups: for example, a rule ending with user=* applies to all users.
Rule: queue.q1.consume.allow.user=*
Description: allows all users to consume messages from the queue destination q1.
Rule: queue.*.consume.allow.user=Snoopy
Description: allows user Snoopy to consume messages from all queue destinations.
Rule: topic.t1.produce.deny.user=Snoopy
Description: prevents Snoopy from producing messages to the topic destination t1
You can use Unicode escape (\\uXXXX) notation to specify non-ASCII user, group, or destination names. If you have edited and saved the access control file with these names in a non-ASCII encoding, you can use the Java native2ascii tool to convert the file to ASCII. See the Java Internationalization FAQ at
for more information.
Authorization rules in the access control file are applied according to the following principles:
Any operation not explicitly authorized through an authorization rule is implicitly prohibited. For example, if the access control file contains no authorization rules, all users are denied access to all operations.
Authorization rules for specific users override those applying generically to all users. For example, the rules
queue.q1.produce.allow.user=* queue.q1.produce.deny.user=Snoopy
authorize all users except Snoopy to send messages to queue destination q1.
Authorization rules for a specific user override those for any group to which the user belongs. For example, if user Snoopy is a member of group user, the rules
queue.q1.consume.allow.group=user queue.q1.consume.deny.user=Snoopy
authorize all members of user except Snoopy to receive messages from queue destination q1.
Authorization rules applying generically to all users override those applying to all groups. For example, the rules
topic.t1.produce.deny.group=* topic.t1.produce.allow.user=*
authorize all users to publish messages to topic destination t1, overriding the rule denying such access to all groups.
Authorization rules for specific resources override those applying generically to all resources of a given type. For example, the rules
topic.*.consume.allow.user=Snoopy topic.t1.consume.deny.user=Snoopy
authorize Snoopy to subscribe to all topic destinations except t1.
Authorization rules authorizing and denying access to the same resource and operation for the same user or group cancel each other out, resulting in authorization being denied. For example, the rules
queue.q1.browse.deny.user=Snoopy queue.q1.browse.allow.user=Snoopy
prevent Snoopy from browsing queue q1. The rules
topic.t1.consume.deny.group=user topic.t1.consume.allow.group=user
prevent all members of group user from subscribing to topic t1.
When multiple authorization rules are specified for the same resource, operation, and principal type, only the last rule applies. The rules
queue.q1.browse.allow.user=Snoopy,Linus queue.q1.browse.allow.user=Snoopy
authorize user Snoopy, but not Linus, to browse queue destination q1.
Authorization rules with the resource type connection control access to the broker's connection services. The rule's resourceVariant element specifies the service type of the connection services to which the rule applies, as shown in Table 6–1; the only possible values are NORMAL or ADMIN. There is no operation element.
The default access control file contains the rules
connection.NORMAL.allow.user=* connection.ADMIN.allow.group=admin
giving all users access to NORMAL connection services (jms, ssljms, httpjms, and httpsjms) and those in the admin group access to ADMIN connection services (admin and ssladmin). You can then add additional authorization rules to restrict the connection access privileges of specific users: for example, the rule
denies user Snoopy access privileges for connection services of type NORMAL.
If you are using a file-based user repository, the admin user group is created by the User Manager utility. If access control is disabled (imq.accesscontrol.enabled = false), all users in the admin group automatically have connection privileges for ADMIN connection services. If access control is enabled, access to these services is controlled by the authorization rules in the access control file.
If you are using an LDAP user repository, you must define your own user groups in the LDAP directory, using the tools provided by your LDAP vendor. You can either define a group named admin, which will then be governed by the default authorization rule shown above, or edit the access control file to refer to one or more other groups that you have defined in the LDAP directory. You must also explicitly enable access control by setting the broker's imq.accesscontrol.enabled property to true.
Access to specific physical destinations on the broker is controlled by authorization rules with a resource type of queue or topic, as the case may be. These rules regulate access to the following operations:
Sending messages to a queue: produce operation
Receiving messages from a queue: consume operation
Publishing messages to a topic: produce operation
Subscribing to and consuming messages from a topic: consume operation
Browsing a queue: browse operation
By default, all users and groups are authorized to perform all of these operations on any physical destination. You can change this by editing the default authorization rules in the access control properties file or overriding them with more specific rules of your own. For example, the rule
denies all members of the user group the ability to subscribe to the topic Admissions.
The final section of the access control file, includes authorization rules that specify for which users and groups the broker will auto-create a physical destination.
When a client creates a message producer or consumer for a physical destination that does not already exist, the broker will auto-create the destination (provided that the broker's imq.autocreate.queue or imq.autocreate.topic property is set to true).
A separate section of the access control file controls the ability of users and groups to perform such auto-creation. This is governed by authorization rules with a resourceType of queue or topic and an operation element of create. the resourceVariant element is omitted, since these rules apply to all queues or all topics, rather than any specific destination.
The default access control file contains the rules
queue.create.allow.user=* topic.create.allow.user=*
authorizing all users to have physical destinations auto-created for them by the broker. You can edit the file to restrict such authorization for specific users. For example, the rule
denies user Snoopy the ability to auto-create topic destinations.
Note that the effect of such auto-creation rules must be congruent with that of other physical destination access rules. For example, if you change the destination authorization rule to prohibit any user from sending a message to a queue, but enable the auto-creation of queue destinations, the broker will create the physical destination if it does not exist, but will not deliver a message to it.

Hi folks, my name is Geoff and I am a Program Manager with the IE team focusing on security updates. On Tuesday, Windows released a security update for a vulnerability in the Windows component VML (vector markup language) that can result in remote code execution running on an affected system. Although this is not an IE vulnerability, we feel it is important to mention here, as IE can be used as an attack vector for the exploit. The VML team and MSRC have investigated the issue, produced a fix, and coordinated the release plan based on the comprehensiveness of the fix and the spread of exploits on the internet. As with all Microsoft critical updates, we encourage you to download the update immediately in order to protect your systems(s) from potential attacks. For the location of the update and further information on this vulnerability please see the following links:
· Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-055
· MSRC Blog
I also want to mention that IE7 downlevel and IE7 on Vista ARE NOT affected by this vulnerability as a newer version of the control was released with IE7 Beta 2. With that said, I want to encourage you to please install the latest version of IE7 today or follow the links above to download the appropriate update to protect your systems.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and have a great day!

Countdown to 2016: The 10 best NYE TV episodes
The countdown to 2016 is officially less than 24 hours. Whilst you're regretting everything you did in 2015, and hurriedly planning your long list of New Year's resolutions that you'll 100% definitely, without a doubt, stick to this time – check out our list of the top 10 best New Year's Eve sitcom episodes.
"The One with the Monkey"
The first of three Friends NYE specials to make the list because they're just that good. This classic episode from the very first season sees all of the gang desperately trying to ensure they'll have someone to kiss at midnight. Hank Azaria guest stars as Phoebe's love interest and Ross brings an unusual date, Marcel the monkey.
Peep Show
"New Year's Eve"
In the final episode of season seven, Mark and Jeremy are determined to have a good time at a New Year's fancy dress party. Mark runs into trouble with Dobby and Jeremy doesn't do much better with Zahra.
South Park
"Are you there God? It's me, Jesus."
Originally broadcast just before the dawning of the 2nd millennium, this episode of near-the-knuckle animation South Park took inspiration from the Judy Blume book "Are you there God? It's me, Margaret". The episode therefore centres around the storyline of Cartman believing he has experienced his first period. Jesus has his own issues with the pressure of hosting a New Year's Eve concert in Las Vegas at which people believe God will be appearing.
Family Guy
"Da Boom"
Also airing in 1999 was this apocalyptic episode of Family Guy. Due to the Y2K problem, a nuclear holocaust occurs but Peter manages to save his family and decides to travel with them to the nearest Twinkie factory. Peter becomes the mayor of "New Quahog" but he eventually, inevitably, angers the townspeople – oh and Stewie is exposed to nuclear waste and becomes a weird octopus hybrid before hatching thousands of mutant spawn which attack the whole town. You know, the usual.
"The One with the All the Resolutions"
In this season five episode, the friends all choose a New Year's resolution to better themselves. Rachel vows to give up gossiping, Ross will do something new every day, Phoebe will become a commercial pilot, Joey will learn to play guitar, Monica will take more pictures, and Chandler will not make fun of his friends. Of course, none of them last very long…
Absolutely Fabulous
"Happy New Year"
Kate O'Mara guest stars as Patsy's sister, Jackie, in this festive edition of the British sitcom. An older, meaner version of Patsy, she is disliked by everyone except Patsy who looks up to her as a glorious role model. As per usual, Eddy is trying to stay as hip as possible and plans to go to a "dance happening" to see in the New Year.
How I Met Your Mother
"The Limo"
Like all cool, young things in New York City, the HIMYM gang have five NYE parties to visit in order to determine the best one to end up at by midnight. Ted rents a limo so that they can all ride between parties together but driving through the big city on one of the biggest holidays of the year is not a simple task.
The Big Bang Theory
"The Justice League Recombination"
Stuart holds a fancy dress party at the comic book store to ring in the New Year. The boys ask Penny to dress up as Wonder Woman in order to complete their Justice League of American line up. Penny struggles with the idea of being alone on New Year's so brings dunce Zack along, only for it to rekindle some buried feelings for Leonard.
The O.C.
"The Countdown"
Kirsten's sister Hailey comes to town and throws a wild New Year's Eve party. Marissa is desperate to go to the party, even though Ryan would rather stay at home, and she ends up going with soon-to-be-psycho-stalker Oliver. Ryan makes a last minute decision to be the romantic hero and gives us one of the more epic scenes that we've come to treasure from The O.C.
"The One with the Routine"/"The One with the Rockin' New Year"
Finally, this unforgettable episode of Friends that sees our favourite brother-sister duo team up for a legendary dance routine. Joey's roommate, Janine (Elle Macpherson), gets a job dancing on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve and invites Joey, Ross and Monica along for fun. The Gellers are desperate to impress their parents by appearing on TV and so crack out their old "famous" dance routine, a glorious moment that cements this as the best ever NYE sitcom episode.
Happy New Year!

SEC Sues Steven Rattner Over Kickback Scheme
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the SEC will file a civil lawsuit against former New York Times reporter, car czar, and asshole Steven Rattner for his role in a pension kickback scheme. His downfall continues!
Rattner supposedly came to a settlement with the SEC over the case last month by promising not to sell securities for several years, but that appears to have fallen through. What's worse, New York Attorney General and governor-elect Andrew Cuomo also announced today that he's suing Rattner for $26 million, and a lifetime ban from the securities business, over the scheme, in which Rattner's firm Quadrangle Group paid officials in New York's Office of the Comptroller for access to state pension funds.
Ironically, news of the suits comes down on the very day of the rehabbed General Motors' initial public offering, which is attracting a lot of investors and raising tons of money. Good job, Rattner!

1% (Gitorious wants to fix this)
Everyone added to the kde-developers group gets an e-mail when anyone makes a merge request to any of our projects. This is undesirable (as most kde devs are not Amarok devs and many other permutations). A solution for this will have to be developed on gitorious before all of kde goes to gitorious

A button to join the kde-developers team would be very useful instead of needing to poke admins. This would probably use a similar mechanism to current method for granting svn accounts, i.e. two people vouch for a person to let them in the team.

For last weekend's blow-out, I mixed up a loose variation of Padma Lakshmi's Sweet Lime-Ginger Rum Punch. I know you want to mock me for this, but let me remind you that Padma is hot. See? Hot.
I started the day before the party by taking a couple of plastic containers and filling them with a blend of water and lime juice. I lidded them up and stashed them in the freezer. I then juiced three dozen limes and set the juice aside before cooking up several cups of simple syrup, spiced with grated ginger and cracked cardamom pods. Once the syrup cooled, I double-strained it to remove the solids and then poured the syrup into the lime juice. I refrigerated that overnight.
The day of the party, things were simple. Once our guests began to arrive, I set up the punch bowl with the large ice chunks, poured all of the limey syrup into the bowl, and added three liters of amber rum.
And then people started falling down. Yatta!

One powerful measure of a fitness center's success hinges upon having a staff that recognizes the personalities of the membership. The staff must recognize, understand and work with members' needs, behaviors and communication styles. Members can be classified three ways: the quiet, independent member; the demanding dependent member; and the easygoing, customary member.
Independent members require little except exemplary service. A good example is a member that will come in quietly, change for a workout, run on the treadmill for 30 minutes, shower, change and leave.
Even though it is easy to keep these members content, the staff needs to be vigilant. Independent members expect a friendly, professional staff, and a clean, well-run facility with an environment conducive to exercise. Even if members are low profile their needs still need to be met.
Dependent members are the most needy and demanding. They expect attention, service, and to be listened to. They often challenge the most patient and diplomatic staff. Yet, the wrong attitude can be detrimental to the member, staff and facility. For example, how often have you heard, "Here comes that member again?" Or, "They always ask me for help during their workouts and they ask the same questions."
They may want, need or expect assistance. It is the role of the staff to provide the service that satisfies the most challenging members. If the staff doesn't know how to handle the situation they should find someone that does and learn from them. I had one member who always complained about the temperature, and some staff members were disturbed by her gruff delivery. I grew to appreciate her inquiries because she was never wrong. When she told me the locker room was cold, I believed her. I stopped whatever I was doing (if I could) and adjusted the temperature. Listening to the message delivered makes a big difference.
The majority of a club's membership falls within this category. This population possesses the qualities of the independent and dependent members to varying degrees. This group can be managed with an understanding of how to deal with the extremes in your club's population. I have found this group the easiest to work with, to be with, to listen to and to talk to.
These members typically will request an occasional spot or would like their form looked at on a particular exercise from time to time. They usually are the largest, most widely accepted group of members.
The fitness staff will have a leg up on membership retention if all members are recognized and properly addressed. The easiest members to communicate with are the independent and the customary members. Yet, if the most demanding, dependent members are kept content, you are one step closer to retaining all of your members and running a respectable and well-run facility.
Anything that a member says is important. We need to understand that the member's delivery may range from crass and emotional to polished. It is critical to recognize that there is a message behind the delivery. It is important to look beyond the delivery and guide the comments being made so a mutual understanding is reached. The best advice I was given by my mentor Jerry Fogel, a physical therapist and former owner of Back Technology of Miami was to "leave my ego outside" the situation I was in. In management this skill, if worked on and developed, will keep your members content, listened to and returning year after year. A content member is a retained member. It's that simple.

Rick Perry's Anti-Abortion Law Takes Effect This Week, Requiring Women to Get a Sonogram 24 Hours Before an Abortion!
TX Gov. Rick Perry (R) signed a law that requires women that are seeking an abortion to have a sonogram 24 hours before the procedure, forcing them to hear a description of the fetus and listen to the fetal heartbeat. This new law is an attack on women's constitutional right to end a pregnancy, because it forces thousands of women to feel shame for their decision. This intrusive law takes effect this Thursday.
Via Think Progress
This Thursday marks the beginning of Texas' new fiscal year, and with it a slew of conservative legislation signed by Gov. Rick Perry (R) takes effect.
Among those laws is the highly controversial sonogram law Perry signed in May, forcing pregnant women seeking abortions to undergo a medically unnecessary ultrasound at least 24 hours before an abortion and to hear a description of the fetus:
One new law requires a doctor to attempt to show a woman seeking an abortion a sonogram of the fetus, to describe the image and to provide the sound of the fetal heartbeat before the procedure. Federal Judge Sam Sparks is expected to rule before Thursday on a challenge to the law by the Center for Reproductive Rights.
"This law is intrusive, patronizing to women and unconstitutional," said Julie Rikelman, the center's lead attorney on the case. She said patients should be given only the information and medical tests appropriate for the circumstances and that a doctor should not have to act as a "government agent."
The sonogram law is a transparent attempt by anti-abortion activists to chip away at women's constitutional right to end a pregnancy. The Senate sponsor of the bill, Dan Patrick (R) hailed it as "the beginning of the end for abortions," and said he was so proud that he was "inspired to wear my cowboy hat" when Perry signed the bill.
Perry, a self-described "small government" conservative, has no problem inserting the government between women and their doctors. Facing the state's worst budget crisis in modern history, he dubbed the sonogram bill an "emergency priority" that allowed the legislature to expedite its passage. Texas conservatives initially refused to include exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and fetal abnormality in the bill.
In the last legislative session, Perry also approved drastic cuts of $74 million to family planning services in Texas, which experts say will result in tens of thousands of additional unwanted pregnancies in coming years. The cuts could also result in 180,000 Texans losing access to cancer screenings and basic contraception.

As both a financial consultant and property & casualty insurance agent, (a rare breed these days) I often meet with clients and referrals to evaluate their current policies. This is also a good time to check the status of their overall "financial home." I have found the house diagram below to be very helpful (in a simplistic way) in getting individuals and couples to open up and discuss otherwise complex and personal aspects of their finances. This applies to young couples just starting the planning process, seasoned executives and business owners, physicians, those approaching retirement, and those who have already reached retirement age.

If this were your house, we would begin with the foundation levels: ASSET PROTECTION and INCOME PROTECTION. This is good way for us to start a dialog that will help to determine if your foundation is strong enough to support the other rooms. This includes something as simple as making sure your liability protection is adequate on your home, auto, umbrella, or business policies.
A major illness, accident or lawsuit could drain funds from other areas in the foundation as well as the rooms above. You may understand the importance of insuring these tangibles, but there is often uncertainty about and misunderstanding of the importance of adequately insuring for the loss of your most important asset (your income), while at the same time preparing for retirement.
Next we move up to discussions in the SHORT-TERM and LONG-TERM SAVINGS "rooms." This will indicate to me if you have done any significant planning for current emergencies as well as the future, especially for retirement.
As far as the top level of the diagram (STOCKS, BONDS, and MUTUAL FUNDS), I normally would not recommend heavy participation in these areas until I am convinced that your foundation and rooms are structurally sound.
At this meeting, our conversation is very informal and open: no products, solutions, or illustrations. If "repairs" appear to be needed, at the next meeting I will offer recommendations that will firm up your foundation and lay the groundwork for your future.
Depending on your areas of need, this may include Term Insurance if you are a young couple with your first child, Indexed Universal Life if you are an executive maxing out on your 401k and looking for additional tax deferred growth with no risk, Split Annuities (immediate and deferred) if you are a teacher about to retire, Disability Income, Long Term Care, or if you are just looking for a better return on one of your underperforming CDs.
Once the leaks are repaired and the additional components of your rooms are in place, I then complete another house diagram reflecting your improvements. This one stays in your file until our next review, at which time we take another snapshot.
So, in what condition is your financial home?

Chevrolet's SS badge has a long and storied history — many cars have been worthy of the legendary "Super Sport," while others (remember the Malibu Maxx SS?) were certainly not. In honor of the revival of the SS badge for the 2014 Chevrolet SS rear-wheel drive sedan, which debuts this weekend, we have rounded up our favorite 10 SS-badged Chevys from over the years. Check them out below.
1957 Corvette SS
What a coincidence: the first and only Corvette to officially don the Super Sport/ SS nameplate also managed to be the first Chevrolet to use the name. But despite its toothy grin and small-block V-8 power, the Corvette SS shared little with the road car that shared its first name.
Corvette chief engineer Zora Arkus Duntov yearned to field a Corvette in international motorsport as a means of promoting the vehicle, but he – along with other managers – knew the stock Corvette wasn't exactly competitive against the likes of D-Type Jaguars, but perhaps a new, purpose-built machine would do the trick. Work began in secret on the XP-64 racer in the summer of 1956, with the goal of having the car ready to race at Sebring the following March.
The Corvette's standard ladder frame and fiberglass bodyshell were eschewed in favor of a complex tube-frame chassis (which some allege was inspired by that of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL), wrapped in magnesium body panels. An independent rear suspension was once considered, but a de Dion setup – complete with inboard drum brakes – was ultimately fitted. Power came courtesy of a fuel-injected 283-cubic-inch V-8, which also received aluminum cylinder heads and a magnesium sump in an attempt to shed weight.
Though the finished product looked stunning and was technically fascinating, it failed to live up to expectations in the real world. Drivers John Fitch and Piero Taruffi tried their best to coax the car through the grueling 12-hour race, , but issues with brakes, ignition, and temperature (the SS was keen on roasting drivers' feet and shins within the cockit) proved troublesome, but a broken suspension bushing ultimately forced the car out of the race. Duntov hoped to regroup and perhaps field the car at Le Mans, but GM's adoption of a company-wide ban on racing prevented that dream from happening.
1961 Impala SS
The SS moniker would re-appear four years later, when it was introduced in the middle of 1961 as a trim package for the Impala, the top-tier darling of Chevrolet's full-size passenger car line.
Lesser full-size Impalas were available with Chevy's inline-six-cylinder, but as the SS was intended to be a true super sport, adding the SS package mandated a shift to eight-cylinder power. The base engine was a 305-hp, 348-cubic-inch V-8, but the big news was a new, enlarged 409-cubic-inch version. Available only with a four-speed manual transmission and a four-barrel carburetor, the engine produced 360 hp – 10 ponies more than the 348 when fitted with three two-barrel carbs.
The SS package also included some flashy interior decor, but apart from a padded dashboard, it was still performance inspired. SS models gained a tachometer for the driver, and a decorative grab handle for the passenger – which, we imagine, was frequently clenched by white knuckles, especially in Impalas fitted with the 409.
To call this a collectible classic is putting it mildly. Since the SS option wasn't available until mid-year, volumes were rather low. Chevy built only 456 examples in 1961, and only 142 with the 409. Predictably, 409-powered cars – especially in convertible form – can fetch big bucks from collectors today. This beautiful blue example sold at an RM Auctions event in late 2010 for $99,000.

1967 Corvair Monza SS
The Corvair was designed to be an affordable, entry-level Chevrolet – but its innovative design and rear-engine configuration quickly had engineers and designers alike dreaming up ways to spin it into something sporty.
Chevy's R&D group was attempting to recycle the Corvair's flat-six for use in a front-wheel-drive vehicle when design chief Bill Mitchell had a grand idea: why not use it for a mid-engine sports coupe? After some top-secret design and engineering work, the XP-777 – or the Corvair Monza GT coupe – was born. Shortly after, work began on a matching roadster variant – the Monza SS – though it would boast a few noticeable differences.
Visually, the Monza SS looks even more low-slung than its GT sibling, thanks to its stubby, speester-eqsue, wrap-around windshield (the wrap-around hoop was added later in its lifespan). Though it once boasted clamshell headlamp doors, the SS was later given translucent lamp fairings, much like those used on several variants of the Chaparral 2 race car. The biggest change, however, wasn't visible from outside of the car: though the Corvair's six-cylinder and transaxle were mounted in a bespoke monocoque chassis, the SS hung the whole assembly behind the rear axle – a la Porsche 911.
Chevy was once serious about repurposing the Corvair Monza SS for production, going so far as to show a non-running prototype with a full windshield, forward-hinged doors, and bumpers at several auto shows. Ultimately, the project was cancelled – partly due to waning public acceptance of the Corvair itself, and partly due to a reluctance to steal thunder from the Corvette.
1967-1969 Camaro SS
The 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS was not the first car to wear the iconic Super Sport badging, but it may be one of the most well-recognized examples.
The '67 Camaro was may have been available from launch with a manner of straight-six engines, but the SS threw them out in favor of – what else? – a big, honking V-8. The 1967 Camaro SS came stock with a 5.7-liter (350 cu-in) V-8 engine, but was available with a 6.5-liter (396 cu-in), big block motor. SS models also came with a manner of chassis upgrades and, of course, the fabled SS ornamentation. The ultimate Camaro in this era was an RS/SS, which paired the SS' performance upgrades with the RS' cosmetic touches, which included hide-away headlamps.
Chevrolet sold 97,227 Camaro SS sports cars during its first generation, between 1967 and 1969, before the nameplate went through a succession of different body shapes and styles. When Chevrolet sketched a design for the return of the Camaro SS in 2010, it used just one car as inspiration: the first-generation Camaro SS.
1970-1972 Chevelle/ El Camino SS
The midsize Chevelle was available with all manner of engines in 1970, including some straight sixes and some small block V-8 engines. Any guesses as to what the biggest V-8 engine was? Four, five, six liters of displacement? You're getting close–the Chevelle was available with a 7.4-liter motor, which works out to a whopping 454 cubic inches of American muscle.
There were actually two 454-cubic-inch motors: one coded LS5, and another coded LS6. In stock form, the LS5 454 engine made 350 horsepower, which was a lot in 1970, but the LS6 engine was available with an estimated 450 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. It's a power output figure that made most other factory-stock muscle cars blush.
For buyers looking for big thrills, lots of noise, and enough cargo space to go to the big box store, Chevrolet also slotted the 454 under the hood of the El Camino, a small trucklet built off the floorpan and chassis of the Chevelle wagon. The tradition of big horsepower and truck beds continues to this day: Australians can still buy big V-8-powered utes to lug around stuff at great speed.
1982-1988 Monte Carlo SS
We all know what happened to the muscle car in the 1970s: it withered to a shell of its former self in the face of oil crises and engine/size downsizing. The Ford Mustang II, famously, was available with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine underhood, but even its optional V-8 barely eclipsed the 100-hp mark.
But as the U.S. recovered from the petro-politics from the '70s, it took a particular liking to NASCAR and the cars racing around banked tracks all across the country. The Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS was originally conceived as a homologation special, a aerodynamic body kit that NASCAR required to be sold to the general public in order for it to be used on (and benefit) the race cars. But engineers, clearly with an eye to the history of bowtie-branded muscle cars, decided to throw in some more upgrades, including a 175-horsepower, 305-cubic-inch V-8, and call it the Monte Carlo SS. At the time, it was the lone Chevy to employ the SS badge.
The Monte Carlo SS went on to sell more than 150,000 copies before the Monte Carlo nameplate was phased out in 1988 to make way for the new Lumina nameplate. Still, the American public had spoken: it still wanted muscle cars, OPEC be damned.
1990-1993 Chevrolet 454 SS
Dodge may have kicked off the muscle-truck trend in the mid 1960s and late 1970s, but Chevrolet revived the idea in the 1990 with the 454 SS – and ultimately birthed a wave of similar performance haulers from its two Detroit-based competitors.
The recipe was simple: take the biggest engine available in GM's portfolio, and stuff it into a short-bed, standard cab, rear-wheel-drive pickup. GM dug up the 7.4-liter/ 454-cubic inch V-8 – an engine offered only in its heavier 3500 HD line of pickups – and stuffed it into a C1500. Other hop-ups included Bilstein dampers, a thicker front anti-roll bar, quicker steering ratio, a three-speed automatic transmission, and a 3.73:1 rear axle. GM wrapped this in a mean-looking wrapper, mandating black paint, black trim, a black grille, and red emblems and interior trim.
That engine didn't boast a whole lot of horsepower (230 hp), but it did pack a sizable amount of torque (385 lb-ft at 1600 rpm) which reportedly helped the beast turn in 0-60 mph times below eight seconds. Owners had to brace themselves for a significant investment: not only was the sticker price close to $18,295 (close to $31,000 today), but also drank fuel as if there was no tomorrow. The EPA rated the 454 SS at only 10/11 mpg (city/highway).
Chevy amended the package slightly in 1992, adding two new paint colors (red and white), along with a four-speed automatic, and a little extra power (255 hp/ 405 lb-ft) underhood, but dropped the model from the lineup after the 1993 model year. GM tried to revive the idea in 2003, but that truck – a gussied up all-wheel-drive, extended-cab Silverado – didn't quite have the same raucous feel as the original.
1994-1996 Impala SS
Chevy mentions the new 2014 SS is its first consumer-grade rear-wheel-drive sedan to be sold in America in close to 17 years. Its last? Why, that would be the legendary Impala SS.
At its core, the Chevrolet Impala SS was a Chevrolet Impala with an engine from a Corvette and a bunch of upgrades from the Caprice 9C1 police package. It boasted the LT1, a 5.7-liter V-8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque, a sport suspension, and bigger brakes. It was also originally available in one color: black. It was later available in other colors, and Chevy sold 69,678 units before the car was killed at the end of 1996.
The Impala SS – which, along with the Caprice, Buick Roadmaster, and Cadillac Fleetwood — was killed off in favor of freeing up as many production lines as possible for GM's more profitable (and higher volume) sport utility vehicles. The plant in Arlington, Texas, was later retooled to churn out Tahoes, Yukons, and Suburbans as quickly as possible. The Impala SS only to return years later with front wheel drive and a supercharged V-6 engine.
2003 Chevrolet SS Concept
Penned in GM's North Hollywood Design Studio, the Chevrolet SS concept was first displayed at the 2003 Detroit auto show. It showed a bold vision from a company that seemed to have abandoned rear-wheel drive performance machines: a long, curvy, sexy American sedan with a traditional V-8 up front, and the drive wheels out back. It was powered by a 6.0-liter V-8 with 430 hp and 430 lb-ft,which was coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car boasted adjustable, fully independent suspension, and rode on massive 21-inch front and 22-inch rear wheels.
The SS concept may never have made it into production, but it did give us hope that Chevrolet would continue to build exciting cars. Rumors suggested that the SS would be produced on the Australian-sourced, rear-wheel drive "Zeta" platform (which was eventually used for the modern Camaro). In fact, some people within GM were apparently pushing hard for the company to sell a large rear-drive sedan that would look very similar to this concept. Sadly, those plans never panned out. If this car had found its way to showrooms, we can easily imagine it picking a fight with the Chrysler 300C.
2010-present Chevrolet Camaro SS
Chevrolet killed off the Camaro in 2002, and almost immediately fans clamored for another version of the company's famed muscle car. But it wasn't until four years later that Chevrolet responded to the outcry with the Camaro concept, which bowed at the 2006 Detroit auto show. The timing was key: it was just a year after Ford had launched the latest version of the Mustang, which wore squared-off retro styling to pay homage to the original pony cars of the 1960s and 1970s. The Camaro concept followed in the footsteps of the earlier SS concept: 21- and 22-inch wheels, a 6.0-liter V-8, independent suspension, and the Zeta platform. The exterior wore razor-sharp lines and creases, while the interior had retro-fabulous touches like toggle switches and a quartet of analog gauges placed by the shifter.
Then things went quiet for a few years. It wasn't that Chevrolet had forgotten about the Camaro, but the public didn't hear much about the project again until early 2009. Then Chevrolet launched the 2010 Camaro SS, as well as the lesser V-6-powered Camaro. The new car stayed amazingly true to the 2006 concept, with retro design married to modern-day mechanical parts. Under the hood in SS models was a 6.2-liter V-8 belting out 426 hp and 420 lb-ft, which could be channeled through a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Base models had a 3.6-liter V-6 with 304 hp, which was upgraded to 312 hp by the 2011 model year. The Camaro was back, and it was ready to fight the Ford Mustang.
Since then, the Camaro has spawned several variants. The 2011 Camaro convertible debuted at the 2010 Los Angeles auto show, and was available either with the base V-6 or SS V-8 engines. Then at the 2011 Chicago auto show came the fire-breathing ZL1, also available either as a coupe or convertible. With a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 making 580 hp and 556 lb-ft, Chevrolet says the Camaro ZL1 will rocket from rest to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds before reaching a top speed of 184 mph. Most recently, Chevrolet upped the Camaro SS ante with the 1LE, a special version designed for better acceleration and handling. It gains things like shorter gearing, stickier tires, larger anti-sway bars, and tougher wheel bearings in order to pull a claimed 1 g of lateral acceleration.
Oh, and the icing on the cake? Chevrolet Camaro sales continue to slightly edge out those of the Ford Mustang each month.

A three-part series of documentary travelogues in which Tim Mackintosh-Smith follows in the footsteps of 14th Century Moroccan scholar Ibn Battuta, who is regarded by many to be one of the greatest travellers and explorers the world has ever seen. In fact, he was able to travel over 75,000 miles, in twenty years and through some 44 nations (as defines by modern day borders) and three continents.
Part 1: Wanderlust
Beginning in north Africa, Tim visits Battutah's birthplace of Tangier in Morocco, and stumbles on a performance of medieval trance music. In Egypt, he goes to a remote village where Battutah had an astonishing prophetic dream and visits the world's oldest university in Cairo.
Part 2: Magicians and Mystics
In Turkey, Tim watches an illegal whirling dervish ceremony, and in the Taurus mountains he meets the last of the Turkoman nomads. He chats to Tatars in Crimea, while in Delhi he watches a Muslim magician performing the Indian rope trick.
Part 3: Trade Winds
Tim explores the place of Islam in Hindu-dominated India and communist China, and tells the story of the Islamic trade empire of the 14th century. In Cina, he meets a clan who trace their ancestry back to Arabs, and witnesses an illegal Arabic lesson.

My journey on the road to Samarkand brings me to the Navoi International Airport and cargo facility, where I am met by airport executives who brief me and my colleagues on the joint venture cargo operation between Uzbekistan Airways and Korean Air. They give us a tour of the site, noting that Korea is Uzbekistan's fourth largest trading partner, after Russia, China, and Kazakhstan. Trade with the United States, on the other hand, is a mere two percent of Uzbekistan's total trade, highlighting the enormous potential for future growth. On the tour, I learn that weekly flights from New Delhi, Mumbai, Dhaka, and other South and East Asian cities use the facility for shipping their goods to Europe, Russia, and the Middle East -- a very modern incarnation of the ancient Silk Road.
By the end of the day, jet lag is starting to catch up with me, but I am still eager to learn about what is happening at the airport and cargo facility. Our hosts treat us to a dinner of authentic Korean food, flown in from Seoul that morning, and following dinner I prepare for my meetings the next day.
Over the next few days, I meet with Uzbek government officials to talk about rail, energy, and trade projects, and with representatives from the business and development communities to identify challenges and opportunities for U.S. companies. When it's finally time to return home, I'm convinced of the huge economic potential of the region, and can see that the New Silk Road is already taking shape, re-connecting South and Central Asia. My impressions are reinforced as I board Uzbekistan Air's shiny new Boeing 767 en route to London. The flight originated in Amritsar, India, and I strike up a conversation with a fellow passenger who flies the route frequently for business.
As regional connections like these continue to expand, and cross-border collaboration and trade grow, Central and South Asia can once again become a bustling hub for global commerce, establishing what one Foreign Minister has called the region's new "Great Gain." I'm glad that my visit supports U.S. efforts to promote and leverage these emerging opportunities.
Editor's Note: This is the second in a two-part series by Siriana Nair, who recently traveled to Uzbekistan.

Thinking of getting yourself a copter with a camera for Christmas? BBC has a nice story about current-and upcoming legislation in the UK and Europe:
Nikon is sometimes referred to as 'the dark side', so within that scope it makes sense that Earth's own dark lord uses a Nikon too. The photo-op occasion is from his visit to a squadron of ancient Mig-15s in Chosun, flown by some unfortunate female pilots.
Here are some safe bets: More megapixels, more connectivity, better video capabilities, well, more of everything in fact:
"The prolific nature of photography these days has been met with a lot of derision amongst professional photographers. Do people really need to take (multiple) photos of everything? Why is the worth of an image measured by how much it's 'shared'? Has the grand sum of technological advancement really culminated in Selfies at Funerals? . . . read more
A tragic story like his comes along every now and then, highlighting the risks some photographers are willing to take in order to get their shots. Luke Traynor from the Mirror reports:
"Gerry Coyle, 65, was trying to snap idyllic sunsets when he scaled the 3,500ft Mount Snowdon - the highest peak in England and Wales.The enthusiastic snapper set up his tripod to capture the stunning scenery as he reached the end of a two week photographic tour of Britain's west coast.But an inquest heard on . . . read more

Canon has been playing the 'small steps' game with its EOS xxD line for quite some years, but as time passes by, so does the competition's catch-up game. The latest offering in the xxD line brings a slew of major and minor improvements, but is this enough to thrill the ever-more demanding consumer base?

Lightzone was once a major contender for the top spot among Raw editors, but at some point in 2011 things went a bit awry and the company had to shut down. PDN Puls has the rest of the story:
"It has become an open-source project under a BSD license from creator Fabio Riccardi, who is currently with Apple's iOS Imaging Group. Under the terms of the BSD agreement LightZone will be offered to the public through the LightZoneProject (www.lightzoneproject.org) free of charge. The software is newly available to the public for free downloading in the Windows and Linux operating systems, and MAC beta testing has begun today. It is also available to the open-source community for new development now."
Fujifilm Press Release
FUJIFILM announces X-Pro1 and X-E1 firmware updates to offer faster AF and the addition of a "Focus Peak Highlight" function
The upgrades will provide improved AF performance for all FUJINON XF lenses and, amongst other benefits, will add a 'Focus Peak Highlight' function for manual focusing.
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) today announces the release of two new firmware updates for the FUJIFILM X-Pro1 and X-E1 compact system cameras, one on 25th June and a further one on 23rd July. . . . read more
So, what happens when you put the 'X' on a consumer grade kit lens?
"Optically, the 14-42X is a bit of a surprise: it's excellent, even used at maximum aperture. You don't lose any sharpness close up, either. This is important seeing as anything much beyond f8 is severely diffraction limited on M4/3 cameras anyway due to the very small pixel pitch. Use this one wide open without issue, though stop down one stop to 5.6-8 to gain a very small improvement in the corners. There were two aspects of performance I found especially
The Highly Anticipated 'Mini M' Features Characteristics Reminiscent of the Legendary M-System
Solms, Germany, 11 June 2013: Leica Camera AG has unveiled the latest addition to its digital compact camera offerings and presents the Leica X Vario. Made in Leica Camera's headquarters in Germany, the X Vario features a high-performance 16.5-megapixel (effective 16.1), APS-C format, CMOS image sensor, a zoom lens covering a range of focal lengths from 28 to 70 mm (35 mm equivalent) and Full-HD video recording capability. With several design and handling characteristics of the storied M-System, the 'Made in Germany' Leica X Vario offers great versatility and creative freedom. . . . read more
"With the EOS 700D, Canon continues its tradition of very good image quality for both stills and video shooting and provides a well-executed touchscreen implementation that makes this one of the more enjoyable to use novice-oriented DSLRs on the market.
Where the camera falters, unfortunately, is with AF performance in live view. Canon's 'hybrid' AF system, while a step forward compared to contrast detect attempts of a couple of years ago, is still a long way from what we've seen in other mirrorless models, and from our experience of Sony's SLTs. And while we applaud Canon for attempting continuous AF in movie mode, it too is prone to more focus errors than we'd have liked to see."
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 now available featuring a new selective editing tool and advanced healing/cloning tool, automatic image leveling and perspective correction, and the ability to edit files that are offline.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — June 10, 2013 — Adobe today announced the availability of Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 5 for Mac OS® and Windows®. The product is available as an individual license or as part of Adobe Creative Cloud™. Designed for both photography enthusiasts and professionals alike, Lightroom 5 adds critical photo editing capabilities and creates groundbreaking workflows. Lightroom 5 was initially released as a free, public beta in April 2013.
"Lightroom was originally conceived through the requests of Adobe customers, and this feedback continues to drive each new iteration," said Winston Hendrickson, vice president of products, Creative Media Solutions, Adobe. "As the digital photography landscape advances and evolves, Lightroom is the best solution for photographers and passionate hobbyists who want to get the most out of their digital images."

Lightroom 5 adds powerful new editing tools to help photographers create better images faster. . . . read more
"The Coolpix A is a very good camera that, if it stood in isolation, would represent an interesting addition to the camera market. Of course the reality is that it doesn't exist in a vacuum and, while many photographers will be very happy with it, a considerable portion of its thunder is stolen by the Ricoh GR - a camera that achieves the unusual trick of being a touch better in almost every respect while also being significantly cheaper.
We're also not totally convinced about the price/size/performance balance that either of these cameras strikes, given their only moderately-bright F2.8 lenses. In the course of the review process we have increasingly appreciated their pocketability, though."
"The Fujifilm X100S is the successor to the X100, a model that almost single-handedly rekindled the market for high quality advanced compacts with fixed lenses. With its hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder, bright f2 lens and retro rangefinder styling, after a shaky debut, solidified with a succession of firmware updates, the X100 attracted an enthusisatic following.
With the X100S, Fujifilm has sensibly retained the most popular aspects of its predecessor, namely the design and control layout, but on the inside much has changed. At the heart of the X100S is a new 16 Megapixel APS-C sensor, similar to the X-Pro1 and X-E1 interchangeable lens X-Series models but with phase-detect points on the sensor for faster, more confident AF"
"Very good center performance is accompanied by good performance in the DX-corners and decent performance in the FX-corners. Stop down to lift performance in the corners of a full-frame 36MP D800 towards good levels. Flare resistance is not bad and auto-focus is reliable albeit a bit slow.
This all comes in a small and light package that even has weather sealing at the lens-mount. Only the wavy nature of the distortions at 18mm might give those striving for straight lines in their architecture shots some trouble."
With the annoucement of the new XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS telephoto zoom lens, Fuji film releases the new firmware in order to improve AF speed when used with XF 55-200mm.
Versions 2.04 for the X-Pro1 and 1.05 for the X-E1 can be downloaded from . . . read more
"During my entire time with the X100S, I've struggled with who exactly this camera is for. It's not a camera that an average buyer can easily pick up and use, and its $1,299.99 price will keep most of those buyers away anyway. And for the hardcore photography enthusiasts with deep pockets, the Sony RX1 offers better controls and full-frame image quality — albeit at twice the sticker price. But the X100S does have its own charms, and its unique viewfinder and special features like high-speed flash sync may be just what some particular photographers are looking for. Furthermore, its strong picture quality and . . . read more
"Despite its small size, the E-PM2 has plenty to offer. At the top of the list is very good JPEG image quality, and though it's unlikely to be a key feature for the camera's target audience, RAW shooting is available. The now-standard (and lest we forget - Olympus-originated) Art Filters are on hand too, and they're a lot of fun to play with. For those just learning to use an advanced camera and eager to tweak settings, Olympus' Live Guide mode is available at the press of a button. And of course, advanced photographers can find manual exposure modes in the camera menu.
If you're interested in the E-PM2, for an extra $100 (~£100, going by street price in the UK), you could spring for the tilting LCD, external mode dial and removable front grip of the E-PL5. Photographers with larger hands may also find the ergonomics of the E-PL5 a better fit than the decidedly 'Mini' E-PM2, but there's not much in it."
"the new OLED viewfinder and 20 megapixel resolution and handy Lock-on Autofocus mode are improvements, which makes the much cheaper Sony A58 a real bargain.
Just like the rest of the SLT family, the Sony A58 turns conventional design on its head to provide what is in many ways a better user experience than traditional DSLRs can achieve, at a very competitive price point that Canon and Nikon must surely be worried about. The A58's excellent OLED electronic viewfinder offers enough enough resolution and real-time feedback to take on a more conventionaloptical viewfinder, while the translucent mirror and EVF combination provides fast auto-focus for both stills and video and 100% scene coverage, although the burst shooting mode is disappointingly slower and more limited in buffer size and file format than previous SLT cameras."
"The Nikon D5200 is a solid performer that offers an impressive array of specifications for a camera of its class. Indeed, the number of features it shares with its higher-end Nikon stablemates is to be applauded. In addition to an excellent 24MP sensor that gives up precious little to that of the (non-AA filtered) D7100, the D5200 boasts a 39 point AF system, lens-dependent Auto ISO implementation and class-leading high ISO noise performance.
The D5200 stands out as the only recent-model Nikon DSLR to sport an articulated screen which comes in handy for both stills and video shooters, though we can't help but wish it was touch enabled as is the one on the Canon EOS T5i/700D. The D5200 offers a reasonable number of external controls, but as you'd expect on a camera of this class, more advanced users will have to satisfy their needs with visits to the main menu. You do have a customizeable Fn button though, and the camera's '[i]' button allows more direct access to 14 separate camera and shooting settings. If we nitpick, we'd like to see even faster access that omits a second confirmation click before you can actually change a setting in this manner. Overall though, we find that the D5200 strikes a nice balance between providing essential shooting controls without overwhelming novice DSLR users."
Canon's latest professional telephoto zoom lens features a built-in switchable 1.4x teleconverter, up to 4 stops image stabilizer with IS 'mode 3' that only applies stabilization at the point of exposure, aiding panning, Power Zoom for movie shooting and weather sealing construction. it will be available on May at at an RRP of €14,000

The new Olympus PEN E-P5 is almost similar to the OM-D / E-M5 minus the EVF but with higher shutter speed (1/8000s) and built in WiFi. At the core of the camera are the same technologies found in the E-M5: the same 16-megapixel CMOS sensor (ISO range is 100-25600), 5-axis image stabilization system. E-P5 features a tiltable 1.04-million-dot touchscreen, fast contrast detect auto focus with Touch AF functionality and a new Super Spot AF feature, a Focus Peaking option for manual focusing enthusiasts, a 9fps continuous shooting mode and 2x2 Dial Control system encased in an all-metal body reminiscent of the 50-year-old PEN F half-frame film camera.
Olympus Press Release:
London, 10 May 10 2013 – If you asked an optical engineer, a design expert and a professional photographer to imagine their ideal take anywhere system camera, they would describe a device like the new Olympus PEN E-P5.
With its all-metal casing and all but invisible screws, the new PEN flagship is beautifully crafted. The retro design alone singles it out as a future classic but the technology inside is setting new standards too.
The 1/8000th second shutter speed is a world first for the compact system camera class and a 16-Megapixel Live MOS sensor emulates Olympus' award-winning OM-D camera. This ensures the image quality of the new camera does justice to PEN's proud heritage. Olympus also prides itself on PEN portability and usability. . . . read more
"Falling into the mini-DSLR category of mirrorless models, the Panasonic G6 in many ways matches and even betters similarly priced DSLRs.

Image quality is really the only obvious achilles heel of the G6 when comparing it . . . read more
When the "only fatal flaw" found on a camera is its (Silver-ish) colour scheme, you know that we're dealing with a momentous camera:
"The more significant development, in my mind, is that the autofocus can see in the dark. It was able to focus in light levels approach EV -6. It focused on my cat in the sink at midnight with only reflected street light to see with. Why I am taking pictures of my cat in the can in the middle of the night is a whole other story, but should your photographic perambulations take you into the outhouses of Borneo under a full moon, rest assured, any rare felines co-inhabiting the facilities will be autofocused-upon accurately. . . . read more
Following the announcement by Adobe about it's Creative Suite and the backlash that created on the web, Adobe's VP of Creative Solutions, Winston Hendrickson and Bryan O'Neill Hughes, Senior Product Manager for Photoshop aswers a series of questions at DPreview
"Were you expecting such a negative response from the photographic community?
We expected a higher degree of this type of reaction from the hobbyist photographic community because currently there's not a lot of photography-specific value in our subscription products. That's why we've taken the unusual steps of Tom Hogarty's appearance on The Grid [a Scott Kelby webisode] showing potential Lightroom CC features and the Photoshop Sneak Peek where we showed new features like Camera Shake reduction.
Is a subscription model less prone to piracy?
While service options that connect to our servers are inherently less prone to piracy, once a user downloads software to their computer the piracy threat is the same as for our perpetual products....."

This cute Kegel weight set looks like little pink cherries, but don't let their adorableness fool you.
Goes Great With This
This cute Kegel weight set looks like little pink cherries, but don't let their adorableness fool you: they're designed to tone the muscles of your pelvic floor! Appropriate for all levels of experience, from beginners to those with more familiarity with pubococcygeal exercise. Start with the lighter of the three weights; with graduated use, move to the intermediate and advanced sizes. Remove them by wrapping the retrieval cord around your finger and gently tug; like the weights, the cord is all silicone, so cleaning is a snap. User's manual gives helpful information in eight languages. Satin storage pouch included.
When exercising your PC (aka Kegel) muscles with a resistive device, or via any other method, remember that the correct way to exercise a muscle is not to simply tighten it. You must also relax that muscle—not only for maximum flexibility and functionality, but also to avoid injury. Our pelvic floor consultant suggests a maximum of 30 reps a day, remembering to fully relax each time.
Set of three Kegel Exercisers
4 1/2", 4 1/2", 5 3/4" (11.4cm, 11.4cm, 14.6cm)
