Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
"spiked metal ring for holding a belt, etc., c.1300, bukel, from Old French bocle "boss (of a shield)," then "shield," then by further extension "buckle, metal ring," (12c., Modern French boucle), from Latin buccula "cheek strap of a helmet," in Late Latin "boss of a shield," diminutive of bucca "cheek" (see bouche).
Boucle in the middle ages had the double sense of a "shield's boss" and "a ring"; the last sense has alone survived, and it metaph. developed in the boucle de cheveux, ringlets. [Kitchin]
late 14c., bokelen, "to fasten with a buckle," from buckle (n.). Related: Buckled; buckling. To buckle down "apply effort, settle down," (1874) is said to be a variant of knuckle down (see knuckle).
"distort, warp, bend out of shape" 1520s, bokelen "to arch the body," from Middle French boucler "to bulge," from Old French bocler "to bulge," from bocle "boss of a shield" (see buckle (n.)). Meaning "bend under strong pressure" is from 1590s (figurative from 1640s) . Related: Buckled; buckling.
To hit; clobber (1990s+ Teenagers)
clasp or catch, particularly for fastening the ends of a belt; or a clasplike ornament, especially for shoes. The belt buckle was often used in Greece and Rome and became an indispensable part of the Teutonic warrior's equipment, as well as the object of special care on the part of metalsmiths, who ornamented many buckles with rich and intricate designs

While it's debatable whether Ashas are smartphones or not, calling S40 a successor to S60 is a bit of a stretch. UI-wise maybe, but certainly not in functionality.
Besides, sales of "Asha full touch smartphones" fell almost by half QoQ (down 46% from 9.3mln to 5.0mln) while total handset sales only fell 28%. So they are becoming less relevant inside Nokia even. The most likely cause is competition from sub-$100 Android phones.
There's now a $99 Android phone from a big name manufacturer, with an IPS screen and a quad core cpu. (Archos, introduced today)
Bit hard for Asha to compete with that.
If I want a laggy Android experience my old HTC Wildfire can do an even better job at that.
I have yet to see a non-laggy Android phone, including quad/penta cores. I haven't used 4.1 or newer, though.
The point was more about the hw anyway - if a brand name can push that kind of hw at that price, having a tiny-screen Asha with antique hw is not going to cut it.
And for some people, animation lag is a huge no-no. And my (only) experience with an old Asha phone during a Nokia roadshow some years back was that they generally appear rather fluid for their antiquated hardware.
Last edited by Akka; 04-20-2013 at 08:29 AM.
Actually the $99 Archos phone (35 Carbon) is only single core and not that exciting over other $99 Android phones like the Huawei Y201 Pro.
WP8 devices are now down to $180 (Lumia 520) but they don't compete with Asha at all because the latter sell for $100 or less. WP8 still has a long way to go until it reaches $100, not only because of minimum hardware requirements but also because vendors are locked into a very limited number of mobile SoCs.
The problem of lagginess is much overstated I think. In that market segment, it is most important whether or not people can afford a smartphone at all. They will happily accept some jerky animations in exchange for browsing the Internet, installing apps, etc.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Florida had 1,274 alcohol-related traffic fatalities in 2003, and 154 of those fatalities were among youth under 21.
At the heart of The Foundation's educational campaign is the Blood Alcohol Educator (BAE) CD-ROM, a credit card-sized disk, in both English and Spanish, that educates the user about how alcohol influences their BAC level. Highlighting the campaign is a colorful van, dubbed the Blood Alcohol Educator (BAE), which is traveling the country to distribute the CD-ROMs. In almost six years, the project has evolved into a successful national tour, with the BAE Van traveling to 47 states and the District of Columbia.
The user-friendly vehicle converts to an interactive cyber-café that includes computer terminals which allow visitors to use the BAE CD-ROM to estimate their BAC level based on sex, weight and the type and number of drinks consumed at the BAE CD-ROM's virtual bar. In addition to reflecting a person's BAC level, the CD-ROM includes a virtual clock that demonstrates how long it will take for an individual's BAC level to return to .00. The program can be viewed online at www.b4udrink.org.The Blood Alcohol Educator Van will make the following stops on the statewide tour:
- Wednesday, January 26
Tallahassee — Florida State University with Attorney General Charlie Crist
- Thursday, January 27
Tampa — University of South Florida-Tampa
- Monday, January 31
Bradenton — Manatee Community College with Representative Katherine Harris
- Tuesday, February 1
Fort Pierce — Indian River Community College
- Wednesday, February 2
Boca Raton — Florida Atlantic University
- Thursday, February 3 or 4 (TBD)
Miami — Florida International University

Great quality
Carved in Love Wedding Menu Cards Great quality and a super cute detail to add to my champagne brunch reception. They were even able to add a heart around our initials to make it look like it was carved into the tree. Fantastic and friendly customer service. Highly recommend.
Ready for the big day!
Carved in Love Wedding Place Cards These cards look great and will be an awesome addition to our table decor at the wedding. Since we are having table names instead of table numbers, I requested a change in the format of the text on the card. A rep from Magnet Street called me the next day to be sure exactly what I wanted and then sent me a proof to approve before production. She was so nice and personable, even congratulating me on my upcoming nuptials.
Great cards!
Tahoe Tenderness Wedding Place Cards Simple but not boring! We had a wedding near Mt Hood in Oregon not Tahoe, but they were still perfect. The pine trees on the front and mountain on the back were dead ringers for our venue. I am so glad I found these!!!

January 2012 SF BotM: The January Dancer by Michael Flynn
The book was published in 2008.
Rob reviewed it in October 2008.
He said:
Michael Flynns space opera The January Dancer is many things, part caper, part future myth, part mosaic novel; all of which come together in a very interesting stew of a novel. The object from which the books title is derived is a pre-human artifact first discovered by Captain Amos January on a relatively routine archaeological expedition. Human expansion is very widespread throughout the galaxy and the future is far enough beyond our time that the characters refer to Earth as Old Earth and speak of it in nigh-mythological terms.
Keeping with the mythological tone, Flynn framed and structured the novel in a relatively unique manner for a Space Opera. The novel begins in a bar with a harper trying to sing songs and tell stories. The focus of the stories is the January Dancer, the ancient pre-human artifact that seems to bounce from one owner to the next with the potential to give its owner complete mastery over men. To put the timeline of this universe in focus, while the January Dancer predates humans, humans have been around the galaxy long enough that Newton, Einstein and Darwin are considered gods because they history is so far back. Flynn also named many of the far-future locales and things after places from the 20th/21st Century like the Palisades Parkway.
The mosaic element of the novel made it somewhat difficult for me to completely get a true feel for the novel and story. Once the January Dancer passed out of one persons hands, it was on to the bar and the harper who would recount the next path the ancient talisman would take. It was only about halfway into the novel that I began to feel settled about who was who and what was what. I really thought the opening story of Januarys crews discovery of the artifact was engaging and pulled me into the story, the characters Flynn surrounded January with were pretty well drawn. The only thing that didnt read to genuine, for the characters in the novel in general, were those that spoke with heavy dialected accents.
Another element that added to the mythic resonance of the novel was the names Flynn gave the characters, they seemed right out of an old pulp SF novel or serial. Theres Amos January, who lends his name to the title and object, a man who goes by the name of Greystoke, another with the name of Grimpen and a character by the name of "Handsome" Jack Garrity. The main setting or hub of the galaxy is named after God, Jehovah. The religious implications of this werent touched upon in great detail, but add to the mythic quality of the novel. As I said, this mythic feel of a far future was done very nicely by Flynn.
Ultimately, the novel was a bit too uneven for my tastes. The multiple points of view/mosaic nature of the novel was too jarring for me to really get into the novel and enjoy it. I liked the ideas, I liked the sense of a caper story with which Flynn flavored the novel, but I was unable to connect with the narrative as a whole.

Oh man, Both books of the month I actually read. lol
Technically this was my first scifi, fantasy is my main thing. Yeah, I remember I did enjoy this book.
January 1st, 2012, 08:14 PM #3
Part of why I was disappointed in The January Dancer was because so many people seemed to REALLY enjoy Flynn's The Wreck of the River of Stars when it was the September 2004 BOTM.

I've really enjoyed all the Flynn I've read so far: Wreck and Eifelheim. I'm a little behind on reading because of the holidays, but this may be my next book (if I can stick to responsibly reading my book club books instead of diving headfirst into the new Carol Berg...) But for now, since I've liked his other books so much and I haven't read this one to know if I agree in any way with Rob, I'll say that Rob must be wrong and he doesn't know how to read a book the way he's supposed to. So there.
January 13th, 2012, 03:44 PM #6
I finished this one up a few days back and have been thinking a bit on what to say about it.
I came into this as a big fan of Flynn. Some clarification there: I discovered him through The Wreck of The River of Stars, which I loved. I later read Eifelheim, which I also loved. Since then I've acquired a few of his other books here and there but haven't jumped into them.
This book didn't quite do the same thing for me as the previous two books I read. I think part of that was an expectations thing. In both Wreck and Eifelheim, you know coming into the story pretty much what's going to happen. Flynn tells you up front, and they're very much classic tragedies. "I'm going to tell you a story. It's not going to end well, but the journey will be really interesting and you'll probably never guess why it won't end well."
This book didn't have that sort of set-up, which is fine. But it didn't really give me, as a reader, any kind of expectation at all. I had no idea through most of the book where the story was trying to go or what it was about, who was supposed to be important, what the motivations were behind some of the things going on. Given how tightly-controlled the writing was in previous Flynn experiences, I can only think this was part of the plan with this one, to keep the reader off-kilter a little bit. Much like January's dancer (the artifact), the book itself seems to keep shifting shape and focus as it goes along.
I really liked the world-building. I enjoyed almost all of the little bits on their own, but I'm not yet sure what to make of them as a whole.
I didn't actually consider this to be much of a mosaic novel. We had a main cast throughout the book (though not the one we probably expected after reading the first chapter). Maybe I feel that way because last month's book, The Carpet Makers was so very much a mosaic novel (no two chapters were from the same viewpoint (until he copped out near then end and repeated one)) that this book doesn't strike me at all that way.
While this one didn't sink its hooks into me as much as the previous two books did, I'm definitely interested enough in the world and overarching conflict that I'll pick up the next book and see where it goes. Maybe the Michael Flynn bang I've gotten used to is just played out on a longer scale here.

This is a very curious books in many ways but I realized this only with benefit of hindsight after reading books 2 (Up Jim River) which I liked but had some flaws that detracted from my enjoyment and book 3 (In the Lion's Mouth) which is excellent.
Books 2 and 3 clearly focus on 2 main characters and in each another sort of secondary character from The January dancer becomes important too in addition toSpoiler:Donovan and Mearana
The book itself (The January dancer) succeeds very well imho in combining space opera with the archaic celtic language and the subject - artifact chase - is also well done but the true meaning and setup is going to be revealed only later as books 2 and especially 3 just raise the level a lot and change the focus of the series in ways you cannot really guess here; lots of twists and turns too

Given what suciel says above, I think Flynn may be playing a longer game with this one. I may end up liking it as much as all the other Flynn I've read once I've got all three books under my belt.

Just started (I'm on page 30 or so) and the few Celtic words threw me off a little bit... but i think the story just hit its stride so I'm back to reading!

I've just finished the second in this series, Up Jim River -- loved it. I didn't realize it was the second book and I haven't read January Dancer, so maybe my questions are answered there.
Can anyone tell me what Flynn means when his characters talk about "prehumans"? Who are they supposed to be? Aliens? Did the Commonwealth terraform empty worlds only, or did they kill off alien cultures on some of those planets?

Doctor Who: Hornets' Nest - Volume 1: The Stuff of Nightmares
'Wanted: retired army Captain for light household duties and fireside companionship. Must tolerate mild eccentricity and strong scientific advice. Knowledge of Giant Maggots, Super Intelligent Spiders and Prehistoric Monsters a positive boon.'
Tom Baker reprises the role of the Fourth Doctor in the first of five thrilling brand new audio adventures, with Richard Franklin as Mike Yates.
Responding to an advert apparently worded for him alone, Captain Mike Yates (retired) is reunited with a ghost from the past. But why has the Doctor, that mysterious traveller in Time and Space, sent for his former UNIT acquaintance?
Trapped by a horde of vicious creatures in an apparently innocuous English country cottage, the two old friends are on the brink of an enormous adventure. As the Doctor relates his recent escapades, it becomes clear to Mike that they – and the Earth at large – are facing an enemy of unimaginable power and horrific intent. The nightmare is only just beginning…
'… a lively mix of humour and horror…'
- Cambs Times
'Baker delivers the drama and intensity that you recognise from the Fourth Doctor of old'
- Doctor Who Magazine
Written By: Paul Magrs
Directed By: TBC

LTC is an exhilarating 28-day experience meant to give you the best leadership development in the world. It takes place during the summer in Fort Knox, Kentucky. Specifically, the course is designed for people like you--highly charged individuals with two years of college remaining, whether undergrad or grad. It is an accelerated version of the two years of leadership development the Army ROTC Cadets receive on campus. Ultimately, the skills you gain will qualify you for enrollment in the Advanced Army ROTC and put you on the right path to becoming an Army Active Duty or Army Reserve Officer. LTC will help you maximize your potential as a person—physically, mentally and emotionally.
LTC is broken into four phases:
SOLDIER FIRST PHASE: This is where you will get immersed in the ways of the Army. There will be physical training, drills and ceremonies to prepare you for the upcoming weeks. You will also spend time working together as a team to overcome obstacles in simulated tactical situation.
WARRIOR LEADER PHASE: Prepare for adventure. You will build on the basics of the first phase by participating in such activities as combat water survival, rappelling, land navigation and marksmanship.
BOLD LEADER PHASE: Time to lead. You will be given exercises in which you are expected to lead your squad in every part of a mission—from receiving orders and analyzing the terrain to making a plan and attaining the objective.
FUTURE LEADER PHASE: The finale. Receive guidance from your LTC instructors to gather a sense of your accomplishments over the past few weeks; then organize and take part in your Family Day, graduation and awards ceremonies.

(CNN) — Three people were killed Friday in the eastern Wyoming city of Casper, among them the suspect who died of an "apparent suicide," police said.
According to a statement from the Casper police, "there were no firearms involved in the crime, and the victim's injuries were caused by a sharp-edged weapon." It was not immediately clear how the three people -- one of whom as a faculty member at Casper College -- were killed.
Police Chief Chris Walsh did not identify the dead but said they included two males and one female. "One of those deceased is one of those who were committing all the violence," he said.
Authorities got their first call shortly after 9 a.m. MT (11 a.m. ET) about "a traumatic injury on the campus of Casper College." Officers arrived within minutes, according to Walsh, and found "multiple victims."
Casper College subsequently went on lockdown, as did the Natrona County Schools, as authorities tried to ascertain what happened.
As they investigated, authorities found the three bodies at "two separate crime scenes."
All alerts were called off by early afternoon, at which time Walsh reassured the public "there is no one at large, and there's no threat of violence."
The police chief said the suspect was not a current Casper College student, adding that all three killed knew each other.

Vail, Colo., teenager Mikaela Shiffrin made her Olympic debut Tuesday with a fifth-place finish in the women's giant slalom.
Slovenia's Tina Maze won her second gold medal of the Sochi Games, with Austria's Anna Fenninger coming in second and Germany's Viktoria Rebensburg, the defending gold medalist from Vancouver, finishing third.
Italy's Nadia Fanchini finished just off the podium in fourth place.
Maze earlier won gold in the downhill event, giving her a total of four Olympic medals in her career, and Fenninger earlier won gold in the super-G.
Shiffrin, 18, made her World Cup debut at age 15 in 2011 and later that year won the slalom title at the U.S. National Championships just after her 16th birthday, becoming the youngest American skier to claim a national alpine crown.
Shiffrin's best event is the slalom, in which she is the reigning World Cup and world champion. All of her seven World Cup wins have also come in the slalom.
She will compete in the Olympic slalom competition on Friday. If she wins gold in that event, she would become the youngest American to win an Olympic gold medal in alpine skiing.
In the giant slalom, her best result came with a second-place finish in a World Cup event at Beaver Creek, Colo., in December 2013, her first World Cup podium in the event. She came into Sochi sitting sixth this season in the World Cup giant slalom standings.

I have also purchased many LED lights for the interior of my vehicle from Jamie at DSS http://www.dynamicsolarsolutions.com.au/ Can really recommend him, he is definitely one of the more knowledgeable guys within the industry.
Jamie has the really good quality LEDs and no, not all LEDs are of equal quality.
Forgot to mention that friends who have a caravan have replaced all their interior lights with LEDs from Jamie as well.

Poverty outmigrates from cities to suburbs
Blog Entry:
May 20, 2013 11:55 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A new Brookings Institution
could change the way we think about poverty and the suburbs, according to
this analysis
by TheAtlanticCities.com.
The report, "Confronting Suburban Poverty in America," has some eye-catching numbers.
"Over the last decade, suburbs have increasingly become home to America's poor," TheAtlanticCities.com reports in summarizing the Brookings data.
"Between 2000 and 2011, the population living in American cities below the poverty line increased by 29 percent," the website says. "During that same time, across the country in the suburbs of metropolitan areas as diverse as Atlanta and Detroit and Salt Lake City, the ranks of the poor grew by 64 percent. Today, more poor people live in the suburbs (16.4 million of them) than in U.S. cities (13.4 million), despite the perception that poverty remains a uniquely urban problem."
In the city of Cleveland, the number of residents living below the poverty line grew 7.3% from 2000 to 2011. In the suburbs, though, the increase in people living in poverty rose 85.2%.
The city's poverty rate is quite high, at 34.3%, and the suburban poverty rate now is 11.7%. There are 324,040 people in the Cleveland area who live in poverty, Brookings reports.
The numbers are similar for Akron, where the city poverty rate rose 50.8% in the past decade but the suburban rate was up 96.9%. The overall poverty rate is 28.9% for city of Akron residents and 11.8% for suburban Akron residents. There are 113,671 Akron-area residents living in poverty, the Brookings data show.
This and that
We're not losers:
The New York Times
two letters from readers
in reponse to an
last week about Cleveland's pro sports teams, titled, "Disappointing fans since '64."
Shaker Heights' Tom Sudow, who is director of business development at the
Global Cardiovascular Innovation Center
, reminds readers about Cleveland's real assets.
He writes: "Cleveland is privileged in North America to have three major professional sports teams. Were Clevelanders any happier during the three years without an N.F.L. team than with a losing team? Cleveland has a world-class orchestra, a top art museum, the Rock and Roll and Pro Football Halls of Fame, a remarkable lakefront and wonderful parks. Stop thinking about what you don't have and be grateful for what you do have."
And former Clevelander Sandra Genelius, now in New York, writes, "Despite our shared agony, Cleveland sports fans — and there are many more of us than you might think — have a stubborn optimism that allows us to feel hopeful for our beloved Indians, Browns and Cavaliers each year, usually before their seasons begin, and sometimes for only a few days."
She concludes, "In this age of sports superstars with hugely overblown egos, enormous salaries and dubious lifestyles, we Cleveland fans have never experienced arrogance. But we live for the day that we will."
In need of a technology rescue:
continues to take a glass-half-empty approach
in its analysis of Ohio's shale oil industry.
"News from two of the country's less developed shale plays in Colorado and Ohio last week offer a reality check for the wave of euphoria that has washed across the industry," the news service says. "The stumbles mark a break from the past few years, when nearly every new project was an overnight success and output grew and grew."
Last week, Ohio released annual data on 2012 Utica shale production "that showed the state pumped less than 700,000 barrels of oil from its shale wells — barely enough to fill a small oil tanker," according to Reuters. "North Dakota's Bakken shale pumps more than that every day. Even state officials said it the result was 'lower than initially estimated.'"
NuStar Energy LP
said it would shelve a plan to reverse a pair of underused refined products pipelines to ship crude from Colorado's Niobrara shale oil play to Texas, Reuters reports. It failed, twice, to garner enough commitments from potential customers to justify investing in the conversion.
"Neither development was a surprise to industry experts, and both were likely affected by extenuating circumstances," according to Reuters. "Yet taken together they offered a sign that the flush of enthusiasm and rush of investment that piled into shale fields from one coast to the other has hit a curve. While the basic technologies of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling was enough to coax an unexpected gusher of oil from shale rock in many regions, these more challenging seams may require incremental innovation to unlock."
Quite a life story:
With the last name "Ratner" and a youth spent in Cleveland, you'd guess that Austin Ratner is in the real estate business. But he's staking out a different career path, according to
this profile
The New York Times
Mr. Ratner, 41, "the most artsy member of the real estate clan," has written a new novel,
"In the Land of the Living,"
that is drawing a lot of attention in the literary world — enough for the author to get star treatment in the story, at least.
"Mr. Ratner, who combines the boyish handsomeness of Clark Kent with the nebbishness of Woody Allen, stood at the rostrum (of a bookstore for a reading)," the story notes. "His glasses were thick; his hair neatly combed. His book, heavily annotated, lay open in front of him."
He is "both a Ratner and not a Ratner,"
The Times says. "Eleven days shy of his third birthday, his biological father, a Cleveland hematologist named Norman Gordon, died of lymphoma at age 29. A few years later, his mother married James Ratner, Bruce Ratner's cousin and a Cleveland real estate mogul, and the boy was adopted."
The autobiographical novel "chronicles the pervading sense of loss," according to
The Times
Like Leo Auberon, the book's protagonist, Mr. Ratner has "spent his life trying both to live up to his father's memory and almost, but not quite, realizing how quixotic the quest was," the newspaper says. "Like Leo, he grew up in the affluent Cleveland neighborhood of Shaker Heights, buried in books and shrouded in the sense of perpetual mourning familiar to any Cleveland sports fan."
Mr. Ratner tells the newspaper, "Losing is the only narrative we have."

|Wish List
perfect belt! I love the fit and how it adjust. I've worn it a few time and should haven't gotten it in black as well. Highly recommend! January 8, 2015
Doesn't look pretty I was super excited to find a belt that was sleek and stylish without being to gaudy. However, the belt didn't lay flat against my body and even though you can adjust the size to an exact fit, it wouldn't hold the fit. The belt kept slipping and would hang off my body. That being said, I'm in the process of returning the belt. October 16, 2014
Perfect! I needed to finish off a new outfit with just a little polished detail. This belt was the perfect addition! Fits great! I purchased the black with gold one. October 10, 2014
Too much bling Maybe I just couldn't find the right look but this belt was too bulky for me. I bought it in both colors and ended up giving it away. The metal bar is too long and is a little too much "in your face." September 20, 2014
Great Belt; Wish it Came with Silver Bar Option Great overall belt, which I wear with a pair of lower-waisted skinny jeans often. My belt is the brown one with the gold metal bar; I just feel limited, as I'm not much of a gold-accessorizer. I wish this belt was available in other color options AND with a silver bar in lieu of gold. My only other gripe is sometimes with the width of the gold bar - I can only wear it with my lower-waisted jeans; the bar is too wide for the belt-loops of my higher waisted skinnies. May 6, 2014
Metal Plate Belt I really love this belt! It is not too bulky nor too skinny; it compliments outfits very well. Have not owned it that long to see how long the quality stands up, but for now it i just perfect! March 6, 2014
Great, but..... It's such a cute belt, I've worn mine several times....but, the back adjuster does not stay tight. So the belt gets looser as you wear it, so you have to readjust it throughout the day. It's also awkward to adjust when it's in you. I've had to ask my husband to tighten it for me. November 9, 2013
Chic Belt Totally recommend it. I saw it on the store and try it on (they only had the black one) and instantly fell in love. You can wear it with any sheath dress, peplums etc. it is also very well made. It runs a little bit big. I bought size S (I am 123 lbs and 5'0") and I will need to punch a whole, but that does not bother me. August 30, 2013

I can understand some but others, not. I gather that Filium is asking for the parents names. Written next to Filium for my grandfather, is hand-written -" Ignoti et Ignotae " What does that mean? I was told by my dad that my grandfather was abandoned as an infant. Do you think this word means (heaven-forbid), "unknown"? Would that mean my research ends there as far as researching his parents? If an infant is abandoned, where would he be placed and where would I begin to search. I know the birthdate but a guesstimate on the year. He was born in Benevento and the church record shows: Baptizatum in (handwriting is hard to decipher): Parr or Garr Ecle. S. Donati. Ditae (?)or Ritae and then the word terrae.
Thanks for any help or direction.

Thank you so much for your reply and information! I have been reading the posts on this forum and have been amazed at the knowlege you and others possess.
Who would I write to for these "secret" records? As my grandfather was abandoned, is it possible that "Sinopoli" was not his parents surname? I was told that when a infant was abandoned the court gave the infant the surname, usually that of a town. Is this true? Would he have been placed in an orphanage?

The actress is feeling nervous as her spring (13) due date approaches, and has decided to request an epidural injection to numb the pain.
She jokes, "I've got nothing to prove (by having a natural birth). I feel like, when I arrive at the hospital, I want a glass of whiskey, I want the epidural in my back and I want to get hit in the face with a baseball bat and wake me up when it's over because I've seen the videos - and it looks terrifying."
Bell also admits she has grown to love her changing shape, telling U.S. talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, "My self-esteem has never been higher."
She adds, "I look in the mirror and I think it's the reverse (of) body dysmorphia, because I can understand what my shape is, but I see Brooke Shields. And it doesn't make a lick of sense, but it's something that the baby's giving me hormonally makes me feel really giggly and happy."
The baby will be the first child for Bell and her funnyman fiance Dax Shepard.
