General Information
Whom Do Parents Call for Further Information?
Parents should call the high school; for general information, please call the Catholic School Information Line at (502) 634-1315.
What Makes Catholic High Schools Distinctive?
The teen years are a critical time in the academic, social and spiritual development of young men and women. Catholic high schools provide discipline, academic rigor, nurturing and a strong sense of community. Christ-centered values are emphasized as schools focus on the development of the whole person. Programs address the spiritual, academic, social, physical and emotional needs of young men and women. Each high school has a unique spirit and living tradition that captures the hearts and minds of its students. As a result, young people feel they really belong at the school of their choice and want to do well.
What Is the Approximate Total Enrollment?
More than 6,000 students attend 9 high schools located in Jefferson and Nelson counties. Enrollment ranges from 250 to 1,300 students per school. Check with individual schools for specific enrollment figures.
Is Transportation Available?
Some high schools in Jefferson County have private bus services, and all schools will assist parents in establishing and organizing carpools or identifying other families that can assist with transportation. Please check with the individual school about transportation opportunities. All Catholic high schools in Louisville are served by TARC bus service. Bethlehem High School in Bardstown is served by private buses as well as bus service through the Nelson County Public Schools.
What Are the Requirements for Admission?
For initial admission, applicants must have completed 8th grade at a certified elementary or middle school. All applicants must have up-to-date immunizations. Students who wish to receive Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship funds (KEES) must supply a social security number.
Individual schools may have more specific and detailed admission requirements.
When Should Families Apply for Admission?
The first step in the student's formal application process for high school is the Catholic high school placement test, which is administered the second Saturday in December. Students take the test at the high school they plan to attend. This year the test is scheduled on Saturday, December 14, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Students need to bring $10 and two #2 pencils.
Prior to the placement tests, students are invited to shadow at high schools, and each high school holds an open house in the fall. For more information about shadowing and open houses, click here.
Acceptance letters are sent by all high schools in early February, and registration is held in February and March of each year. See the chart here for specific dates for the 2013-2014 school year.
Are There Particular Documents Needed for Registration?
Each high school will inform you about the procedures for submitting immunization certificates and athletic physicals if applicable.
What Are the Admission Policies for Catholic Schools?
Each high school sets its own enrollment policies. Catholic high schools welcome students from a wide variety of ethnic and social backgrounds.
Are Persons from Other Faith Traditions Welcome at Catholic Schools? Do Students from Other Faith Traditions Participate in Religion Classes?
Approximately 18% percent of students in Catholic high schools are from other faith traditions. All students take religious classes taught from the Catholic Christian tradition. Classes and programs are built upon a shared sense of faith and respect for the unique contribution of each student.
What Is the Philosophy of Learning at Catholic High Schools?
The Catholic secondary schools of the Archdiocese of Louisville exist to serve young people in response to the call of Jesus Christ to "teach all nations." Our goal is to form our students and, through them, our world in light of the Gospel message. This is accomplished through a diverse community of schools, each with its own unique history, spirit and traditions. We prepare our graduates to live their faith as maturing adults and provide Christian leadership for Church and society.
With fidelity to this mission, we provide:
- In-depth study of the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church and opportunities for students to develop their personal relationship with God within a caring faith community.
- An exceptional academic experience that fosters the lifelong pursuit of truth through self-disciplined habits of mind, body and spirit.
- A community of lifelong learners and believers who share responsibility for developing themselves to the fullest—intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, physically and aesthetically—with appreciation for diverse individual gifts and challenges and respect for the common good.
- People and programs that teach and promote the dignity of all people as children of God, especially those most in need, vulnerable or neglected, through service, justice and compassion.
What Is the Typical Class Size?
Class sizes vary from school to school and by subject and level. However, generally classes do not exceed 25-30 students.
What is the Teacher-To-Student Ratio?
Ratios vary from school to school, but the average ratio is 1 teacher for every 12 students.
What Curriculum is Offered by Catholic High Schools?
Catholic secondary schools offer educational programs that meet or exceed state requirements. Founded on strong liberal arts traditions, supported by the technology of today and focused on the needs of tomorrow, the Catholic high school curriculum is designed to prepare students for a lifetime of learning and for the challenges of the 21st century. Catholic high schools are accredited through the Southern Association of Schools. Classes are geared to the learning ability of the student and address a wide variety of levels from basic college preparation to dual-credit and advanced placement (AP) and international baccalaureate (IB) levels. Classes are offered in English and literature, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign languages, fine arts, health and physical education, and a wide variety of electives. In addition, each high school provides a comprehensive religious program based on Catholic beliefs, values and traditions that actively promotes an awareness of the religious and ethical dimensions of life and teaches students to make principle-centered decisions.
How Are Teachers Prepared? What is the Average Length of Service?
Teachers in Catholic schools have appropriate college degrees for the grade levels and subjects they teach, and nearly 90 percent of teachers in Catholic high school have advanced degrees.
Teaching experience will vary by school. Archdiocesan high schools offer a variety of experience levels from teacher interns through veteran teachers.
What Types of Technology Are Used in Archdiocese of Louisville High Schools?
The ratio of computers to students varies from school to school, but on average there is 1 computer for every 3 students in Catholic high schools. Technology in the high schools includes a variety of tools to assist students with their research, study and presentation of information. Computers are used daily by students in classes from art to zoology. The latest in graphing handhelds are used in mathematics and science classes to allow students to learn to use data in proving hypotheses and solving problems. Computers with GIS allow students to use geographic data to analyze features of their city, their region and the world. Interactive whiteboards, touch screens and slates allow students and teachers to physically manipulate, arrange and rearrange objects for presentation and discussion. Teachers are using student response systems to get immediate feedback from students regarding class information. Some schools are using learning management tools that allow teachers to post entire classes on the web. Students, in turn, may return assignments through this portal. Finally, robots are being used in computer programming instruction.
How Do Catholic High School Students Perform?
Catholic high schools students score above state and national averages on college standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT. Up to 99% of Catholic high school students continue their education, and each year students earn millions of dollars in college scholarships. See the report card for specific information about the class of 2013.
Do Catholic Schools Have Separate Classes for Children with Special Learning Needs?
Each Catholic high school strives to meet the needs of each learner within the scope of its mission and philosophy. Special needs coordinators and/or counselors work with administrators to identify the types of services that can be offered to students with mild learning disabilities within the context of the required high school curriculum. High schools require appropriate documentation and pertinent information from parents prior to a decision about enrollment and/or placement. Please contact individual schools for more specific information about learning differences programs.
Are Counseling Services and Programs Available?
All Catholic high schools have counselors to assist students with college and career preparation as well as personal and family issues.
What Types of Extracurricular Activities Are Available?
Extracurricular opportunities will vary by school, but a wide variety of programs, clubs and other activities are found in all Catholic high schools. Programs found in many high schools include student council and student government, school ambassadors, subject clubs such as French Club or Young Historians, choral, band, music groups, yearbook, school newspaper, YMCA groups such as KUNA and KLA, dance team, drama/theatre groups, quick recall, speech and debate, and academic honors groups such as the National Honor Society, the National Art Honor Society and the Spanish Honor Society. There also are many clubs that focus on faith formation and service, and students have the opportunity to lead retreats, plan liturgies and participate in campus ministry.
What Athletic Programs Are Available?
At Catholic high schools, most athletic programs are administered through the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. Opportunities include cross country, volleyball, football, field hockey, cheerleading, basketball, baseball and softball, track, soccer and, in some cases, bowling, dance, wrestling, tennis, golf, swimming and lacrosse. Please be aware that the Kentucky High School Athletic Association has policies concerning financial aid, merit scholarships and participation in varsity KHSAA-sponsored athletics. If you have concerns or questions, be in touch with your high school athletic director or the KHSAA. For more information about high school athletics, please visit the Kentucky High School Athletic Association site at www.khsaa.org.
What Is the Approximate Tuition?
Each school sets its own tuition rate. The average tuition for high schools in Jefferson County is $9,950 per year.
Bethlehem High School (Nelson County) 2012-2013 tuition is $6,350.
Is Financial Assistance Available?
The Archdiocese and high schools offer financial assistance to families of high school students. In all cases, families must apply through the Private School Aid Service (PSAS) by mid-March. One application can be used for all the children in your family, even if they attend different schools. Forms are obtained from the school your children are attending or planning to attend. For more information, please call (502) 634-1315. Most high schools also offer merit-based scholarships based upon students' performance on the placement test. Please be aware that the Kentucky High School Athletic Association has policies concerning financial aid, merit scholarships and participation in varsity KHSAA-sponsored athletics. If you have concerns or questions, be in touch with your high school athletic director or the KHSAA.
Are There Additional Costs Beyond Tuition?
Most schools charge a registration fee that is applied to tuition and that is paid at the time of registration. Books are purchased separately. In addition, athletic fees, lab fees, graduation fees and activity fees are charged separately and are usually paid at the beginning of the school year. Parents should budget for the cost of school uniforms. Many schools hold used uniform sales.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, neurological disease that mainly affects movement but can also affect cognition. Parkinson's disease results from the destruction of nerve cells in a part of the brain called the basal ganglia.
Different parts of the brain work together by sending signals to each other to coordinate all of our thoughts, movements, emotions, and senses. When we want to move, a signal is sent from the basal ganglia to the thalamus and then to the cerebral cortex, all different parts of the brain. Nerve cells in the brain communicate by using chemicals. A chemical (neurotransmitter) called dopamine is produced in a group of cells called the substantia nigra and is essential for normal movement. When the cells die, they can no longer produce and send dopamine so the signal to move doesn't get communicated. By the time a person starts to experience motor symptoms of Parkinson's they've already lost approximately 50% of their dopamine producing cells. People may experience non-motor symptoms from loss of other neurotransmitters up to ten years before motor symptoms are noticed.
Caring for a loved one with PD can be a challenging job, especially as the disease progresses. Former caregivers of a loved one with PD suggest doing the following (see more about these at the end of this fact sheet): Get prepared, Take care of yourself, Get help (don't try to do it all yourself), Work to maintain a good relationship with your loved one, and Encourage the person with PD for whom you care, to stay active.
Preparing for caregiving starts with education. Reading this fact sheet is a good start. There are many more resources available to you in the Resources section of this fact sheet. Early Parkinson's disease (PD) usually requires more emotional support and less hands-on care. It is a good time for family members/caregivers to educate themselves about the disease.
Parkinson's disease, documented in 1817 by physician James Parkinson, is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. Estimates regarding the number of people in the United States with Parkinson's range from 500,000 to 1,500,000 with 50,000 to 60,000 new cases reported annually. There is no objective test for Parkinson's disease so the mis-diagnosis rate can be high, especially when a professional who doesn't regularly work with the disease makes the diagnosis.
Since Parkinson's is more common in people 60 years old and older, it is expected that the incidence of Parkinson's will increase with the aging of the baby boomers. Although PD is more common in older persons, some people do begin to experience symptoms before they are 40 years old. Researchers have identified families who experience an increased incidence of PD, with some showing a genetic relationship from known PD genes. However, genetic causes of Parkinson's are rare, only in approximately 6-8% of all cases. Most people diagnosed with PD do not have family members with PD. Recent studies show there may be a genetic predisposition to developing PD, but environmental exposure to certain toxins (many years prior to symptoms) may be needed to develop the disease. One common expression is "genetics loads the gun, but environmental [exposure] pulls the trigger." Epidemiological studies are actively exploring the relationship between Parkinson's Disease and exposure to agents such as herbicides, pesticides, and other toxins.
All persons with Parkinson's do not develop the same symptoms and any symptoms that do develop may change over time as the disease progresses. People will experience both motor and non-motor symptoms. Typically PD motor symptoms start on one side of the body, and over time may progress to both sides. Often, one side is more affected than the other. The primary symptoms most commonly associated with Parkinson's disease are:
Although there are no specific tests for Parkinson's disease, there are several ways of making a diagnosis. Usually a diagnosis is based on a neurological exam that covers evaluation of the symptoms and their severity. If symptoms are serious enough, a trial test of anti-Parkinson's drugs may be used. Brain scans may be made to rule out other diseases whose symptoms resemble Parkinson's disease. There are always two of the above primary symptoms present when a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is made.
According to the Hoehn and Yahr scale, a commonly used system for describing how the symptoms of Parkinson's disease progress, Parkinson's disease has the following stages:
Depression, Anxiety, fatigue, disturbance of color vision, constipation, loss of smell acuity (hyposmia), problems with sleep, slowed thinking.
Recent research has identified primary non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease which might be experienced up to 10 years before the motor symptoms appear. They are:
People with Parkinson's can develop some of the following symptoms as the disease progresses:
Active diagnosis and treatment of the motor functions caused by Parkinson's disease occurs to a greater degree than does the diagnosis and treatment of life-impairing cognitive disease-related conditions. Often the family caregiver may notice cognition changes even before the care recipient may see them in him/herself. If you notice cognitive changes it is valuable information to discuss with the care recipient and to share with their doctor. (See Parkinson's Disease Dementia section of this fact sheet for more information.)
Additional PD symptoms may include:
If the disease progresses beyond minor symptoms, drug treatment may be indicated. Drug therapy for Parkinson's typically provides relief for 10-15 years or more. The most commonly prescribed medication is L-dopa (levodopa) and this helps replenish some of the depleted dopamine in the brain. Sinemet, a combination of levodopa and carbidopa, is the drug most doctors use to treat Parkinson's disease. Recent clinical studies have suggested, in the younger person, the class of drugs called "dopamine agonists" (a compound that activates dopamine receptors in the absence of dopamine) should be used prior to levodopa-carpidopa (Sinemet) except in patients with cognitive problems or hallucinations. In those older than 75, dopamine agonists should be used cautiously because of an added risk of hallucinations.
Other drugs are also used and new drugs are continually being tested. It is common for multiple drugs to be prescribed because many of them work well together to control symptoms and reduce side effects. Contrary to past beliefs, starting Sinemet in newly diagnosed people does not lead to early symptoms of dyskinesia (involuntary movements such as twitching or jerking). Current knowledge is that the disease progression causes dyskinesias not a "resistance" to the drug.
Quality of life studies show that early treatment with dopaminergic medications improves daily functioning, prevents falls and improves a person's sense of well-being.
It is very important for people with PD and their family caregiver to work closely with their doctor(s) and to seek advice from a Movement Disorders Specialist, who can best manage the more complicated aspects of the disease. Over time, physicians add combinations of drugs and more frequent dosing is required as the disease progresses. In the more advanced stages, the Parkinson's drugs provide a shorter time period where each dose is effective in controlling the symptoms. This shortened benefit from each dose is called "wearing off", and the motor symptoms (and sometimes the non-motor symptoms, such as anxiety) return before the scheduled next dose. People with PD need to pay close attention to the times they take their medications and note the length of time the medication helps their symptoms and how long the medication effects last before wearing off. This information helps the physician better determine the amount of medication and the schedule for its use.
As with all medications, side effects can be a problem. For some, starting Sinemet may cause dizziness or nausea, and are most severe when the person first begins taking the drug and gradually disappear or lessen with time. Sometimes adding extra "carbidopa" with each tab of Sinemet helps control the nausea.
For other medications, side effects may appear after several years. For example, long-term levodop use may result in large uncontrollable movements (dyskinesias) or "off" periods where the person becomes frozen (can't move) until the next dose of medication is taken or a sensory trick is used. (Counting out loud, like a march, "One, two, three.") Another side effect in the more advanced stages and from larger doses of dopaminergic medications are visual hallucinations, where people at first see things in the corner of their visual field. Sometimes these hallucinations can be frightening.
There is a well described side effect from dopamine agonists that everyone who starts this class of medication should know about. Agonists and higher doses of Sinemet may cause impulse control (behavioral) problems. These behaviors vary, but may include: Excessive spending, gambling, sex, pornography or hoarding behaviors. Often reducing or stopping this class of medications stops the behavior. These behaviors can be so embarrassing for the care recipient and their family that too often the topic is avoided when talking with the doctor. Odd as it may feel, keeping track of unusual impulse behavior to report to the Neurologist can provide critical medical management information.
Sometimes, in the most advanced stages, a choice has to be made between motor function and cognitive function. High doses of medications may be required to manage the motor symptoms but these same doses cause hallucinations or paranoia. At this point, a team meeting with all the medical providers and the family is advised to discuss the need to adjust the medications causing the side effects, yet balance the need to help the patient's motor symptoms. Sometimes adding an anti-psychotic medication (such as quetiapine/Seroquel) is helpful. A multidisciplinary team meeting adds value and can help the family weigh the pros and cons of the PD medications with the caregiver and patient's quality of life.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment for Parkinson's disease that uses an implantable pacemaker-like device to deliver electrical pulses to parts of the brain involved in movement. The DBS system consists of leads precisely inserted into a specific brain target, the neurostimulator (pacemaker) implanted in the chest, and extension wires that connect the leads to the neurostimulator. Though implantation of the system (DBS surgery) requires a neurosurgical procedure, the treatment itself consists of long-term electrical stimulation. Advantages of DBS include its ability to reduce the high doses of medications (avoiding the systemic side effects of medication), its adjustability (stimulation settings are programmed non-invasively using a wireless programmer by the clinician or a patient programmer), and its reversibility (can turn it on or off.) DBS was approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for PD in 2002 and according to Medtronic (the manufacturer of the DBS system), more than 80,000 patients have undergone DBS surgery worldwide.
Typical candidates are those who have motor fluctuations or periods of "off" time with troublesome symptoms alternating with periods of "on" time with good symptom control and also with possible periods of excessive movement (dyskinesia).
Not all patients with Parkinson's disease are good candidates for treatment with DBS. Approximately 10-20% of patients considered for possible treatment with DBS include those:
Individuals whose condition meets these criteria are advised to seek a comprehensive evaluation from an experienced DBS team. This may be accomplished by requesting a referral from the patient's neurologist to a DBS center. The best candidates who have the most robust response to DBS tend to be younger than 70 years of age, with few center of the body symptoms such as swallowing and balance problems.
Many caregivers and individuals with Parkinson's Disease are interested in complementary therapies to supplement medications and other traditional PD treatments. Increasingly, studies are showing that recreational physical activities such as walking, swimming, dance, yoga and Tai Chi can play an important role for individuals living with Parkinson's disease. Although there is no evidence that non-medical activities can affect disease progression, physical activity may assist with management of the symptoms of the disease while helping to increase enjoyment of life by staying active, having fun and learning new skills. Innovative programs are increasingly available. For example, one popular program started in New York and replicated in other states and countries offers dance classes for individuals with PD. A San Francisco Bay Area Parkinson Group partnered with the Mark Morris Dance Group, a highly regarded modern dance company, to develop dance classes for persons with Parkinson's disease (PD), friends, and family. Professional dancers teach the classes in a large dance studio with live piano accompaniment (See the reference section of this fact sheet for more information on these and other programs).
Consult your doctor and Parkinson's care team regarding the type of movement you would like to pursue. They can recommend how hard you should be working (intensity) and the duration of the activity. A recommendation from your doctor to consult with a Physical, Occupational or Speech Therapist is often useful. These professionals can assist you in evaluating how to use non-medical interventions in a way that best suits your needs.
[LBD is an umbrella term for Parkinson's Disease Dementia (PDD) & Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). ]
Current research is helping to differentiate dementia related conditions in relationship to Parkinson's disease. Doctor's use a 12-month arbitrary rule to aid in diagnosis. When dementia is present before or within 1 year of Parkinson's motor symptoms developing, an individual is diagnosed with DLB. Those who have an existing diagnosis of Parkinson's for more than a year and later develop dementia are diagnosed with PDD.
In the simplest terms, Lewy bodies are abnormal clumps of proteins that develop in nerve cells. Cholinesterase inhibitors, medications originally developed for Alzheimer's disease, are the standard treatment today for cognitive DLB and PDD symptoms. Early diagnosis is important as DLB patients may respond differently than Alzheimer's disease patients to certain drug, behavioral and dementia care treatments.
Studies show that 10% to 70% of those living with PD will develop some degree of dementia (loss of brain function). This loss affects memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior. A few of the signs of dementia in PD include slowed thinking, a more passive (or apathetic) personality, memory problems, and trouble with decision-making. One particularly troubling symptom for a caregiver is when a care recipient experiences vivid hallucinations or delusions - the seeing or hearing things that are not really present but seem very real to the individual. Frightening or dangerous hallucinations may call for a medical intervention. Use of certain antipsychotic medication can have highly debilitating side effects due to a hypersensitivity to these drugs by many LBD patients. Highly cautious use and careful monitoring by your doctor is critical should the use of these drugs become necessary. It's also important to note that people living with LBD may or may not experience worsened hallucinations and delusions from medication used for PD such as levodopa. An individual can also experience disease induced episodes of paranoia and have sleep/wake cycle disruption.
This challenging, multi-system disorder involving movement, cognition, behavior, sleep and autonomic function requires a comprehensive treatment approach to maximize the quality of life for both the care recipient and their caregiver. It is very important to pay attention to symptoms of dementia and to search for an expert clinician who can diagnose the condition accurately.
Depression, which is common in both PD and LBD, can display the same symptoms as Alzheimer's disease. Therefore it is important to work closely with a physician to rule out other possible causes for the changes in behavior and thinking. Please see the Resource section of this fact sheet to find organizations and other resources dedicated to helping you learn more about these complex dementia related Parkinson's conditions.
Many resources are available online (See the Resource section of this fact sheet for more information) and public libraries have literature on the disease. Whenever possible, accompany the person with Parkinson's to their medical appointments and ask questions of the doctor, nurse and social worker.
The areas to assess include your loved one's needs - both your perceptions and theirs, your home environment, and your own health, emotional state, and other commitments. The caregiver has to determine how much they can and can't do themselves and what type of outside support is needed. It is also important to assess current and future financial issues such as health insurance coverage, employment (both caregiver and the person with Parkinson's), managing expenses, and if/when to get Power of Attorney.
Probably one of the most important, and sometimes difficult, things caregivers can do is to take care of themselves. This includes maintaining mental and physical health by making and keeping your own medical and dental appointments. As a caregiver, it is important to keep your job whenever possible as it provides not only financial help and possibly insurance coverage, but also a sense of self-esteem. Join a Support Group, for caregivers, if possible. Support groups help you meet people who are going through what you are going though, vent frustrations, give and receive mutual support, and exchange resource information and coping strategies. Whenever possible get your sleep, take breaks, make and keep social activities, and try to keep your sense of humor.
Get help?don't try to do it all alone. By getting help a caregiver can lessen their sense of isolation, and it gives you more confidence in your own caregiving ability. Having help increases your ability to think creatively and helps you get those needed breaks. Help is available through local and community services. These include neighbors, friends, churches, synagogues, senior centers, adult day health, Meals on Wheels, and door-to-door vans. For a fee there is in-home care for help with cooking, bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Additionally, a Social Worker from your health plan or hospital can connect you with other services.
Lastly, maintaining your relationship and communication with the person with Parkinson's can be the most challenging and rewarding aspect of caregiving. As Parkinson's disease progresses, the roles change and the person with Parkinson's may go from being an independent head of the household to a very dependent person requiring a significant level of care. However, research shows that despite high levels of strain, caregivers with good quality relationships have reduced depression and better physical health. Remember, as a caregiver your service to your loved one is beyond measure in terms of love, depth of care, and concern.

Miranda Kerr smiles for a Victoria's Secret photo shoot, while we're winking at her amazing abs!
Miss Miranda is a bikini model, but could sell an ab roller or four.
Kerr is currently dating heartthrob Orlando Bloom.
How many sit-ups to look like this when sitting up, Miranda?
Put your hands up! Mostly for these incredible stomach on Miranda Kerr.
Audrina Patridge poses against a tree, showing some seriously structured core muscles.
Patridge is the perfect bikini model with a wide smile and tight abs.
Emerging from the pool, Audrina shows us the real part of reality TV–her amazing body!
Patridge flaunted her taught tummy in the film "Sorority Row".
We have to adjust our eyes constantly, Audrina, checking out your amazing tone!
Kristin Cavallari plays an Ice Queen on "The Hills," but those abs are all hot!
Cavallari has enjoyed a long Malibu summer, showing off her bikini bod.
Bikinis and Kristin have always agreed, with her doing countless shoots for the likes of Cosmopolitan.
Kristin just took the Hills reigns over from Lauren Conrad.
With a sexy stomach like that, we say Long Live the Queen!
Kellan Lutz, evidently, is crazy fit. Ab-tastic!
The "Twilight" hunk is photographed endlessly working out.
Even during shoots with costars like Robert Pattinson, Kellan always finds his way to a gym.
Recently, Lutz flaunted his perfect abs in August Magazine.
His on-and-off again love AnnaLynne McCord is one lucky girl, for access to abs like those!
Anna Kournikova gets grand slams in tennis tournaments, and we judge her abs trophy-winning!
Kournikova keeps fit for a living, but certainly enjoys a nice swim in her bikini!
Blonde Anna enjoys several endorsement contracts, in no small part to her amazing build.
Kournikova is the longtime love of Enrique Iglesias.
Anna's abs are certainly song-worthy!
Carmen Electra has abdominals that would short any circuit!
This bombshell gets her incredible tone from her background as a dancer.
Carmen looks most at home in a two-piece bathing suit, and who wouldn't looking like that?
Electra recently starred in the comedy spoof "Disaster Movie," alongside Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Minnillo.
She can sing, she can dance, but clearly Carmen Electra knows a thing or two about crunches.
Nicoelltte Sheridan played a Desperate Housewife, but with these abs is far from it in her own life.
Sheridan rose to fame on the 80s prime-time soap "Knots Landing".
Marc Cherry resurrected the blonde's career as sexpot Edie Britt on "Desperate Housewives".
Nicollette most recently dated singer Michael Bolton.
Though she's single, Sheridan can still bask in the company of her delicious stomach!
Mel B is one saucy, super-toned former Spice Girl.
A stomach like this, and Melanie Brown has had two babies!
Look at what Mel's husband Stephen Belafonte gets to sleep with every night!
While her other Spice gals are fit, Mel takes the abdominal cake.
There's nothing scary about this hot singer and dancer.
Stephanie Seymour reigns supreme as an over-40 model with amazing abs!
Seymour was one of the first mixed-media modeling stars!
Stephanie took a chance two decades ago on a little lingerie company called Victoria's Secret–and launched a global career with her success.
On par with Cindy Crawford, Seymour shows one can have a great build at any age!
In a bikini or on a runway, we could always see more Stephanie!
Teri Hatcher is one hot actress, mom and athlete–just look at those abs!
These impressive shots are from a recent Triathlon in Malibu, Ca.
Teri resurrected her career as one of the stars of ABC's "Desperate Housewives".
Despite her comings and goings as an actress, looks like those muscles didn't go anywhere.
Teri has an Emmy at home for her work on Wisteria Lane, but we say those abs are the real trophy!
Mario Lopez is a talented actor and TV host, but can you notice anything else in this shot but his stomach?
Lopez is a notorious Hollywood heartbreaker. We can't imagine why.
Lopez was once engaged to DWTS star Karina Smirnoff.
Mario counts the likes of Eva Longoria Parker as a pal.
Luscious and insanely muscular, it's safe to say Mario Lopez has the best chest and stomach in the biz.

Vanilla Edensoy is intelligently cooked 100 percent U.S.A. family farm organic soybeans. We visit each grower, their farms, and families regularly. Long term ingenious organic farming has created rich, vital soil that produces food brimming with energy, superior taste, and nutrition.
Vanilla Edensoy is the only soymilk in U.S.A. made with 100 percent real, pure vanilla extract. Pure vanilla extract is from vanilla beans of the orchid tree, Vanilla planifolia, which contain more than 250 flavor and aromatic compounds creating its unique flavor, aroma, and psychological effect upon us. It is labor intensive to extract these compounds. Vanilla orchids are hand pollinated to produce vanilla pods called beans. The beans are hand harvested, trimmed, and allowed to age or cure; the best are aged for two years. Pure vanilla extract tastes clean and exciting, is naturally sweet and has alluring aroma. Imitation vanilla, artificial vanilla, and vanillin are petrochemical concoctions. Those labeled on packages as natural vanilla flavor and organic natural vanilla flavor are assembled using hexane gas, animal glycerin, propylene glycol, and a googol of other synthetics. They pale in comparison to the complex flavor and aroma found in 100 percent real, pure vanilla extract.
Vanilla Edensoy is smooth, delicious, and nourishing organic soymilk. It has lovely vanilla bouquet and a clean taste that is naturally sweet. It provides whole, balanced soy protein, healthy essential fatty acids, and high energy complex carbohydrates. All its soy protein is from Midwestern whole beans with all eighteen amino acids; not from the ubiquitous soy isolate. We use gentle, unrefined, naturally malted organic wheat and barley extract as a sweetener, and Edensoy is the only soymilk made with nourishing Japanese kombu seaweed.
In January 1983 Eden discovered soymilk made using techniques pioneered at Cornell University. Engineered in Japan, Eden improved the ingredients and Edensoy was introduced in July 1983. Its phenomenal success created a new grocery category - nondairy liquid food. Soybeans require specific preparation and thorough cooking to transform them into easy-to-digest, nutritious food. Edensoy is skillfully made at our certified organic Michigan plant with over 240 continuous quality control checks. It embodies our thorough research into how best choose and prepare soybeans. From the double reverse osmosis purified water, a patented enzyme invalidator, to the Swedish aseptic packaging equipment, every step contributes to greater value and the best possible nourishment from whole soy. Edensoy is the only soymilk made in the U.S.A. that is properly prepared to nurture human beings.
Eden Foods submitted Edensoy to the Non-GMO Project (The Project) August 18, 2008. After thorough scientific study, covering everything from seed to aseptic carton, Edensoy became the first soymilk in North America to be verified compliant with The Project's standards for avoiding GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
Soybeans today are predominantly genetically engineered. In 1993 Eden pioneered and perfected a process to avoid genetically engineered organisms and their derivatives in food. To keep Edensoy GMO free, much work is demanded including multiple tests of all seed, in growing, at the elevator, and at the manufacturing plant. We avoid use of pharmaceutical enzymes and know all farms, fields, farmers, and suppliers. When the New York Times tested eleven soy and corn based foods, only one tested GMO free - Edensoy.
Eden Foods achieved the highest score, 955 out of 1,000 and the top rating in the Organic Soy Scorecard that presents a study carried out over a year-and-half into the social, environmental, and health impacts of soy foods in North America. The Cornucopia Institute, an independent advocate working to preserve organic integrity and create economic justice for family farmers, released the report May 2009. It evaluated sixty-two organic brands. Soy foods were rated on ten criteria including sourcing, stringency of organic certifier, and prevention of GMO and chemical contamination. Eden was declared a "hero" and ranked by far the highest in the organic soy industry. Read the report at: www.cornucopia.org
Seventy-three percent of Edensoy's package is from certified sustainable forests that ensure biological biodiversity and protect endangered species. They require no refrigeration in transport or storage and are recyclable. Greenhouse gas producing refrigeration is unnecessary until the package is opened at home. The EPA reports pollution from refrigeration has increased exponentially since the 1990s. Edensoy avoids unnecessary energy use. For aseptic package recycling centers contact your city and state recycling program or search for the nearest recycling facility at: www.recyclecartons.com
Soybeans have been important food for at least 5,000 years. Western science confirmed soy as very healthy food. In 1999 the FDA recognized the role of soy in reducing cholesterol saying, "25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease." Whole organic soy foods, such as Edensoy, best provide the desired benefits. Whole food sources of phyotonutrients are always better than isolates and chemical imitations. The FDA further says, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Vanilla Edensoy is low sodium and a good source of protein, folate B9, and magnesium. Edensoy is made with all natural whole food ingredients, providing the highest quality soy protein and a whole spectrum of balanced nutrients.
As soy became popular for health benefits, commercial food processors rushed through a series of shortcuts to exploit this. Though labeled "healthy" most soy foods are made with cheap processes and ingredients; cheap imported soy and grain, hexane extracted soy protein, all treated with a variety of toxic petrochemicals and unsavory additives. Most use undeclared chemical flavor maskers and refined sugars. Evaporated or dried cane juice is sugar, and organic sugar is an oxymoron. Edensoy is the best choice when seeking high quality, pure food.
Use Vanilla Edensoy on cereal, and to make smoothies, freeze pops, breads, pastries, and desserts. Use it cup-for-cup when substituting for other milk. To make soy buttermilk place 1 tablespoon of Eden Organic Apple Cider Vinegar or lemon juice in 1 cup of Edensoy and let sit 2 to 3 minutes until thick, then use as you would dairy buttermilk in baking.

Proposed Canon
A non-humanoid flying unit - specifically a bird, with a vague resemblance to a snow owl.
Apparently a fairly weak unit, with limited combat capability.
Known users
Royal Crown Coalition - although it is not obvious which part of the coalition actually employs them.
Real World References
The name originates from a famous Internet meme of the same name which means "Oh, really?". Orlies' exclaimations primarily feature similar phrases. On Page 114, Panel 2Erf-b1-p114, the Orlies hold a conversation in Leetspeak:
"Seriously." (SRSLY)
"Oh, really?" (ORLY)
"Hahaha... what?" (LOLWUT)
Known exclamations are:
- ORLY?Erf-b1-p009 -- Oh, really?
- YARLY?Erf-b1-p010 -- Yes, really.
- LOLErf-b1-p010 -- I'm laughing out loud.
- OMGWTFBBQ!Erf-b1-p012 -- Oh my goodness! What the f***? Barbecue!
- PWNED!Erf-b1-p012 -- Owned! (I win!) (Or, in context, I lost!)
- O HAIErf-b1-p094 -- Oh, hi.
- SRSLYErf-b1-p114 -- Seriously.
- LOLWUT?Erf-b1-p114 -- Hahaha... what?
- G2G DED!Erf-b1-p114 -- Got to go, because I'm dead.
There is also a real bird with a similar name, the Oriole. However, has no other resemblance except the name.

Bought this on a whim and found that I like them a lot more than I anticipated. Basically I've never been disappointed with MBT's except the ones I bought in Europe which were just too narrow and it was my fault because I shouldn't have bought them. But I was desperate.
