BELLWOOD - One by one, Ann Nesbella informed the Bellwood-Antis High School track and field coaches and athletic director John Hayes on Monday that she was retiring as the program's public address announcer and pressbox manager, but, three hours later, she already seemed to be hedging on that.
"If you have an emergency, you can call me next year," Nesbella said. "Maybe I'll think about it and reconsider."
It would be hard to imagine a Bellwood home track meet without her, though. Now 82, Nesbella just wrapped up her 30th year as the voice of B-A track. In fact, she's been behind the mike so long that neither she nor Lady Devil coach Julie Roseborough could recall exactly how it started - it's just like she's always been there.

Ann Nesbella has been the announcer for Bellwood-Antis track and field meets for 30 years.
"My daughter probably would have been a sophomore or junior in high school. She was the girls manager for Miss R. back then. Before that time, I didn't go to track meets," Nesbella said. "I volunteered, I guess."
A registered nurse in Altoona for 44 years who also works Altoona Curve baseball games, Nesbella has been a fixture at Memorial Stadium, seldom missing Bellwood home meets.
"She gives us the freedom not to worry what's happening up in the booth and that things are running smoothly. We don't have to worry about the organization," Roseborough said of Nesbella's contributions to the Bellwood track programs. "And she's a bit of a character, so that adds some fun to it, too."
A basketball player at Bellwood-Antis when that was the only girls sport offered by the school in the late 1940s, Nesbella loves athletics. She's a big football fan, in particular, and proudly talks about her grandson Devon Clapper being part of the great Blue Devil teams a little less than a decade ago.
She said it was that love was a big part of what kept her involved even after her daughter had graduated, but it goes deeper.
"I think it was just the enjoyment of doing it and seeing these young kids and what they can do. All kids aren't bad. We had a lot of wonderful kids. And I'd follow the progress they made, to see how they developed and matured," Nesbella said. "Plus, the people - John, Nick and Miss R. Miss R.'s an inspiration. One of the things I remember most is the event where they honored her and named the track. She's beyond a doubt one of the most beautiful people I have met."
Nesbella no longer drives - "Bessie wouldn't pass inspection," she quipped - and has a harder time getting around than she used to. That's why she thinks, despite the feelings of her colleagues to the contrary, that it's time to pass the baton, so to speak.
"Let's just say health issues. Nothing major, but about two or three minor things. John won't get me an escalator. He says it's not in the budget," Nesbella said. "Maybe no one else notices, but I notice that I'm making more mistakes in my announcing, and I don't like it. I guess one could say I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this."
That doesn't mean Nesbella won't still be around. Even if she isn't working the meets, she'd like to come back, especially for the Bellwood-Antis Invitational.
"It just evolved," Nesbella said. "It's been 30 wonderful years, and I've loved every minute of it."

BATA, Equatorial Guinea (AP) – Zambia reached the African Cup of Nations final for the first time since 1994, defeating Ghana 1-0 Wednesday night as Emmanuel Mayuka scored in the 78th minute.
Ghana, which beat the United States en route to the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals, could have gone ahead in the eighth minute, but Asamoah Gyan's penalty kick was saved by goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene. In the World Cup quarterfinals against Uruguay two years ago, Gyan's penalty kick in overtime went off the crossbar, and the Black Stars were eliminated in a shootout.
Mayuka entered for the Copper Bullets at the start of the second half. No. 26 Ghana finished a man short after Derek Boateng was ejected in the 84th.
Zambia, tied for 71st in the FIFA rankings, advanced to Sunday's final against the winner of the Ivory Coast-Mali match later Wednesday.

63-year-old caught smuggling 362 lbs of pot
Customs officers said they nabbed a 63-year-old man who was trying to smuggle 362 pounds of marijuana across the border on Friday night.
Around 7 p.m., officers noticed something was off about a 1997 Dodge Ram pickup truck. They X-rayed the vehicle and noticed something in the gas tank. When officers looked inside the gas tank, they found several metal boxes that were stuffed full of pot.
Customs officers took the driver, Luis Torres Torres, 63, into custody. He was turned over to and arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in connection with the failed smuggling attempt.
"Drug seizure activity at the Columbus port shows that smugglers come in all ages," Columbus acting Port Director Edward Sinderson said. "We recently intercepted a high school age student and now a person in his 60s. This shows that CBP officers must maintain vigilance consistently."

BLM Hollister Field Office Hosts Wildflower Tour
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Hollister Field Office will host a wildflower tour of Monocline Ridge/Monvero Dunes (Lat. 36.538859, Lon. -120.566479) in western Fresno County on Sunday, March 10.
Participants should meet at the Apricot Tree Restaurant parking lot, 46272 West Panoche Road, Firebaugh, at 10 a.m. The restaurant located at Interstate 5 near Firebaugh.
The tour will then caravan approximately 11 miles south to Monocline Ridge. About six miles of the route is on improved dirt road. Although the road is in reasonably good shape for most of its length, participants should bring vehicles with adequate undercarriage clearance. Passenger sedans with average clearance might scrape the undercarriage in a few places. Sport Utility Vehicles and trucks should have adequate clearance. Field trip attendees may wish to consolidate into vehicles with higher clearance.
"Once at Moncline Ridge, one will be rewarded with excellent wildlflower displays of Phacelia tanacetifolia (tansy leafed phacelia), Amsinckia vernicosa (green fiddleneck), Monolopia lanceolata (common monolopia), and Mentzelia affinis (yellow comet)," said Ryan O'Dell, BLM botanist.
A 500-foot elevation gain over a 1/4 mile hike (strenuous) up to the top of the ridge will yield access to Monvero Dunes, a unique Ephedra sand dune system harboring several Mojave Desert disjunct species such asAbronia pogonantha (Mojave sand verbena), Oenothera deltoides ssp. deltoides (birdcage evening primrose), Rumex hymenosepalus (wild rhubarb), and Achnatherum hymenoides (Indian ricegrass), and Phacelia douglasii var. petrophila(rockloving phacelia).
Following the wildflower tour at Monocline Ridge, attendees are welcome to extend their wildflower viewing trip to Little Panoche Road between Interstate 5 and Mercey Hot Springs and the BLM Panoche Hills access road near Mercey Hot Springs where beautiful displays of Lasthenia minor (goldfields), Gilia tricolor (tricolor gilia), and Monolopia lanceolata may be viewed.
Both sides of Little Panoche Road and both sides of the BLM Panoche Hills Access Road are private land. BLM land on the top of Panoche Hills is open to the public.
Reservations are encouraged, but not required. For questions, please contact Mike Westphal (831) 630-5028 firstname.lastname@example.com or Ryan O'Dell (831) 630-5028 email@example.com

Archon: The Light and the Dark
Published by

[add review | score detail | rate game]
Not an American user?
DescriptionArchon: The Light and the Dark is a strategic board game with some similarities to chess. Two sides, a light one and a dark one, consisting of 18 pieces each compete on a board divided into (9 by 9) squares. You win the game by having one of your units on each of the five powerpoint squares, by removing all opposing pieces from the board or by imprisoning the last remaining creature of the opposing side.
However, you can't just remove a piece from the board by landing on it. When two pieces clash, the outcome is decided in the battle arena during one-on-one real-time combat. If the real-time combat takes place on a dark square, the dark monster gets a health bonus (longer life bar). On a light square the light side gains an advantage. There are also some squares whose color changes over time (from afternoon, to dusk, to night, to dawn etc.), which adds an extra layer of strategy to the game.
Unlike chess the two sides are not identical. Both sides consist of mythological creatures. For example the light side has among others unicorns, valkyries and a djinni while the dark side features basilisks, banshees and manticores. The differences are not just cosmetic. Two special pieces are the light wizard & the dark sorceress, they can both cast magical spells like: imprison a unit on the board, shift the flow of time (change day/night cycle to your advantage), bring one unit back from the dead etc.
The different pieces have their own movement restrictions regarding the number of squares they're allowed to travel on the board and whether or not they can jump over other units (like the knight in chess). Units also behave different in combat; some units are faster than others, some use melee attacks while others fire projectiles.
Archon can be played with either one or two players. The NES version, which was released a few years after the other versions, has improved graphics for the real-time combat part. Each type of square has it's own colored background and the unit sprites are larger.

1001 Video GamesArchon appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Archon IIIA pair of 13 year olds worked on a game they called Archon III: Exciter for a while, never completing it, and the beta version widely circulated the internet, until eventually myth mixed in with fact and it was wrongly believed to be a genuine unreleased official follow-up.
Cover artThe game's striking and distinctive cover artwork is apparently an homage to the work of Dutch artist M.C. Escher, combining his typical preoccupation of repeating and inverted tessellated patterns of animal silhouettes as well as a rendering of an exotic polyhedron. Though it is not a direct adaptation of any of his works, it is evocative of the 1948 wood engraving Stars.
Electronic ArtsAs of 2001, one of the four large meeting rooms on the first floor of the "Mission Control" building of Electronic Arts Redwood City, CA campus is named "Archon". The four meeting rooms are named after EA's first four games.

The article on Microsoft.com "How to convert a numeric value into English words in Excel" provides some VBA code for converting a dollar value into words, like you would see on checks or receipts.
I try to avoid using VBA in my spreadsheets whenever possible, and sometimes that leads to some very very long formulas. This one took some doing, but it IS possible to use a formula to convert dollar amounts less than 1 million into words without VBA. I wasn't able to extend this to numbers larger than a million because the formula exceeded the maximum length.
I use the formula in my new Receipt Template spreadsheet, where I highly doubt anyone would need to write a receipt for a value over a million.
FIRST, you need to define two named ranges:
THEN, you can use one of the following formulas, where cell B8 contains the numeric value. Important: The value in B8 must already be rounded to the nearest cent (0.01). A value like 999.995 will mess up the formula.
Style 1: ... and ../100
Example: B8=123,456.78
Result: "One Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Fifty-Six and 78/100"
Style 2: ... Dollars and ... Cents
Example: B8=123,456.78
Result: "One Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Fifty-Six Dollars and Seventy-Eight Cents"
You could create a formula in Excel that would handle much larger numbers if you split the formula into multiple cells. I suspect that the formula could be shortened further with some more effort, but I just don't care enough to do that.

Wow, thank your tips excel.
- Outsource Excel said...
Creative formula. I love that you figured out how to do it without using VBA. I'll definitely be using this idea.
There appears to be a glitch in the formula, wherein certain numbers that end in 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, or 91; appears in the formula result as twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty and ninety (missing the "one").
By example: 571.00
Appears as: Five Hundred Seventy and NO/100 Dollars
My Excel version is 2007 on a PC…
Any advise -- my email address is email@example.com

Tips for what to do with holiday cards
A few things to do with holiday greeting cards:
- The pictures are often as beautiful as their sentiments. Display them by punching a hole in the upper left-hand corner of each, then string them with twine. Tie half knots atop each card, so they don't bunch up. Hang them like garland around a door frame, leaving a string long enough to hold as many as you think you'll add in the days ahead.
- Don't throw out the envelopes until you've updated your address book. Keep them all in a manila envelope until you have time to do just that.
- Don't toss the cards after Christmas. Put them in a shoe box and save them with your Christmas stuff, so you know who sent you a card in 2012. You'll be reminded next year who you might want on your card list.
Tips for a well-read Christmas letter:
- Keep it to one page. If it's too long, recipients might set it aside to read -- or not!
- Choose three or four highlights, maybe one for each family member.
- Somewhere near the beginning, thank your audience for being part of your life, and include a few words of affection.
- Include something you're looking forward to in 2013.
- Include a handwritten line or two customized for each recipient.
Gathering family members into a perfect portrait can suck the holiday spirit right out of you.
Here are a few ideas to loosen things up:
- Have everyone wear pajamas.
- Have everyone jump at the same time. You never know what you'll get.
- Baby crying? Just let her scream while getting the shot. You can poke fun at her for the rest of her life.

About the Program
Core Values
APU's Department of Higher Education programs are driven by these core values:
- A commitment to rigorous research that makes a difference in real-world settings
- A commitment to enable students to become "big picture" thinkers who are people of character and integrity
- A strengths-oriented perspective on learning and leadership that encourages students to reach their full potential and teaches them how to lead effectively by developing the strengths of others
- A commitment to diversity and an international perspective that enhances learning and leadership effectiveness
- A commitment to mentoring doctoral students academically, professionally, and personally
Program Format
The Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education program meets on campus full time for two weeks each July and two weeks each January. At each visit, students conclude two courses and begin two new ones. Between sessions on campus, faculty and students are in communication with one another and assignments are submitted electronically. This schedule enables working professionals from the U.S. and abroad to participate in the program.
In addition, all students join a faculty-led research team for their second and third years of the program. These research teams often meet at professional conferences in between the January and July intensive sessions, and afford students the opportunity to not only conduct research, but to publish and present at professional conferences. Each student earns one unit of doctoral credit per semester on a team; four units are required for graduation.
In late May of the second year in the program, all students in the cohort join the faculty for a required international trip as part of the Global Policy course. In-country trip costs are included in the program fees and can be packaged as part of student loans.
The Ph.D. in Higher Education is a four-year sequenced curriculum of 60 units, inclusive of dissertation. Students in the cohort take all classes together in the same sequence, unless they transfer in specific units from other regionally accredited doctoral programs. Components of the dissertation process are embedded throughout the curriculum so that students are able to complete the full degree, including the dissertation, within four years. A guaranteed tuition plan ensures that students who follow the course sequence not only graduate on time, but never pay a higher tuition rate than when they entered the program.
Transferring Units
Students in the Ph.D. program may transfer up to 16 units of coursework with a grade of B or higher from another regionally accredited doctoral program. Official transcripts and course descriptions must be submitted to the department chair, who will determine the courses that successfully transfer.
The APU Experience
APU's doctoral programs in higher education are intensive programs for the working professional. As such, there are distinctive features of these programs that make the APU experience a life-changing one for our students.
The Cohort Model
Students are admitted to the intensive program as part of a cohort. Cohorts are typically 15–18 students who are employed full-time in higher education or a related field. They take courses in a carefully designed sequence and stay with their cohort throughout the program. This model affords students the benefit of a network of professional colleagues with whom to study and conduct research. Our students report that their fellow students are one of the highlights of being in the intensive program.
Course Schedule
In the intensive program, students come to APU twice a year for two weeks each time. Morning classes are offered 8:30 a.m.–12 p.m. and afternoon classes meet 1:30–5 p.m. Two courses are offered each term. Each class consists of five days in July and five days in January; each term, two classes are starting and two classes are concluding. In between terms, students are working online on course assignments and attending professional conferences with their research teams.
Registration and Books
Students register for classes online. Payment for doctoral courses is due each term. A textbook list is sent in advance to students. Doctoral students are expected to complete some assigned reading in advance of each session.
Because housing is not available on campus during the intensive class sessions in January and July, the housing is at the Best Western Glendora located three miles from campus (though students may also make their own housing arrangements). Housing costs typically average $600 per person (double occupancy) for each intensive.
Support from Your Home Institution
Students in this program hail from many different kinds of institutions throughout the world. Their home institutions provide various levels of support for these professional students who are pursuing graduate education. Please consider asking your home institution to support you in your advanced educational efforts. Types of institutional support students receive from their home institutions include the following: release time for professional development (2-4 weeks); funds for airfare, housing, and meals (as if attending a professional conference);book purchases; and tuition subsidy (faculty/staff development funds or benefit packages).
Local Airports and Transportation
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is the closest airport to APU, located approximately 25 minutes away. The Burbank (BUR), Los Angeles International (LAX), Long Beach (LGB), and John Wayne (SNA) airports are all about an hour from campus. Shuttle vans are available from the airport for a fee; however, most students arrange for a rental car. Ph.D. students receive a list of students who are flying in for the intensives each year, so that car pooling and airport pickups can be arranged.
Program Outcomes
At APU, 84.5% of students who begin the Ph.D. program graduate, compared to a national rate of 46.5%. Graduates of the Ph.D. in Higher Education are expected to:
- Conduct and disseminate original research that extends the theoretical knowledge base of higher education policy and practice and answers meaningful questions.
- Competently engage the critical issues and help shape the conversations that affect the future direction of higher education at the national and international level.
- Lead effectively, collaboratively, and with vision.
- Articulate and evaluate a strengths-based approach to teaching, learning, and leadership development.
- Foster optimal learning in the students they serve, through effective pedagogy and institutional practices that are learning-centered.
- Articulate and evaluate a Christian perspective on effective leadership in higher education.
- Effectively address personal, institutional, and systemic injustices through competent policy analysis, formulation, and revision, as well as individual actions.
Additional Requirements
Grading and Grade-point Average
Throughout higher education, and particularly at the doctoral level, commitment to learning should outweigh the pursuit of grades. Nonetheless, grading and the grade-point average continue to play a crucial role in students' careers. For doctoral students, the grade of B is considered average; a grade below B- is not applied toward doctoral degree requirements.
A doctoral student whose cumulative grade-point average falls below 3.0 or who has any grade below B- is placed on academic probation. Students whose cumulative grade-point average has not reached 3.0 by the end of two terms on probation may be dismissed from the program.
A doctoral student whose grade-point average falls between 3.0 and 3.2 or who earns eight credits or more of B- grades is required to meet with his/her advisor to identify academic skills that may need to be strengthened and to plan appropriate action.
Policies regarding incompletes and withdrawals are set forth in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of the academic catalog.
First-year Review
To evaluate success in meeting program goals and uphold the mission and objectives of the university and the School of Behavioral and Applied Sciences, the program design includes an extensive array of procedures for quality control and assessment. These include a first-year review, which calls for completion of the problem statement for the dissertation. The student's academic performance is also reviewed. Continuation in the program is contingent upon a successful first-year review. A second-year review focuses on self-assessment as well as peer and faculty assessment.
Dissertation Proposal
Students in the Ph.D. program enroll in HED 791 in fall of their third year and HED 792 in spring and begin the dissertation proposal. Students who do not complete their proposal in their third year will take HED 790 for 2 units in their fourth year.
Critical Issues Conference
Christian perspectives and moral and ethical issues in higher education form an essential strand in the doctoral program and are embedded within all courses.
In addition, students must attend two of the annual program conferences on research or current issues in higher education that are offered each July on the Azusa campus.
Advancement to Candidacy
Following successful completion of all coursework and approval of the dissertation proposal, students are advanced to doctoral candidacy status.
The final step in the doctoral program is to design, implement, and write a research-based dissertation. Standards and procedures for the dissertation are defined by the doctoral faculty and are provided to students in a Dissertation Handbook.
Continuous enrollment in HED 791, HED 792, HED 794, and HED 795 is expected until the dissertation has been successfully defended.
The student defends the dissertation in a meeting with the faculty committee that is open to all faculty in the department. Subsequently, the student participates in a public presentation of the research.
Study Load
To be classified as a full-time doctoral student, one must be enrolled in at least 6 units per term. Half-time status is 3 units per term. At the dissertation level, students are considered full time if they are enrolled in any one of the following courses: HED 791, HED 792, HED 794, or HED 795.
Time to Degree Completion
Doctoral students are permitted eight years from the date of initial enrollment to complete all requirements for the Ph.D. degree. Extensions beyond the eight-year limit may be granted at the discretion of the department chair and the dean of the School of Behavioral and Applied Sciences. Students needing an extension due to unusual circumstances must make their request to the department chair in writing, stating the reasons for the extension and the expected date of degree completion.

Prince Albert's
Could the principality of Monaco have a young prince waiting in the wings? According to Nicole Coste—a 33-year-old who says she had a six-year affair with Prince Albert—her 21-month-old son Alexandre is the result of that relationship. "Albert has a wonderful son, and he should acknowledge him," Coste told the German magazine Bunte. "We live in his apartment, and he pays support."
A spokesperson for the Monaco palace told People, "We have no comment," and Albert's lawyer's office says, "He has nothing to declare." Coste, who says she met Albert, 47, on a 1997 light-Albert allegedly cut off romantic relations in '03 but continued to support and see mother and child-says a paternity test proved Albert was the father, though she hasn't kept any proof of the test. Nevertheless, pictures of Albert with Alexandre set tongues wagging. Spending weekends at a time together, "I fell in love I with him," said Coste. "I found him to be nice, a little shy, yet charismatic."
She's not the first to say this. In 1992 Californian Tamara Rotolo, now 44, filed a paternity suit, alleging that her now 13-year-old daughter Jazmin was fathered by Albert (a court dismissed the case in 1993, ruling lack of jurisdiction). While friends of Albert's admit it's "no secret he has had affairs," those close to the Prince remain skeptical-especially in the wake of Prince Rainier's April 6 death. "When they have printed his father's will and [read] he's worth millions, it doesn't surprise me that all of a sudden people come forward," says one Albert pal. Still, Coste says she isn't out for the money. "I only want him to understand that he has a child and responsibility," she said. "I want Alexandre to grow up normally with a father."
Out-of-wedlock children are nothing new in the history of Monaco. Born in 1898, Princess Charlotte—Prince Albert's grandmother—(with her son Prince Rainier)—was the acknowledged love child of a young laundress and Prince Louis II. Louis later adopted Charlotte and recognized her as his rightful heir. But Monaco royals watcher Isabelle Rivere doubts that Albert will officially recognize little Alexandre. "For the moment" she says, "this child has absolutely no claim."
The B World
Jennifer Beals
A rep for Jennifer Beals confirms exclusively to People that the 41-year-old actress is expecting her first child in November. The father is her husband of seven years, Canadian entrepreneur Ken Dixon. It's something of a role reversal. On Showtime's The L Word, Beals portrays a lesbian whose partner, played by Laurel Holloman (below), is pregnant.
What is Teri Hatcher looking for in a man? "Honesty and strength and intelligence," the Desperate Housewives star, 40, told an audience at the Tribeca Film Festival last week. She neglected to mention fancy footwork, which enabled fashion photographer Jim Macari, 31, to dance the night away (till 3 a.m.) with her on April 29 at Cain, a Manhattan club. A source says the two have been dating for about a month.
All My (10) Husbands
All My Children's Erica Kane weds her 10th husband (counting remarriages) on May 23, which is something of a milestone even for a daytime drama. And what will it take to make this marriage work? "A lot of prayer," says Susan Lucci, who has played Kane for 35 years. The TV bride wore white—again—while saying "I Do" to Jack Montgomery, an AMC character who endured 18 years of unrequited love for Kane.
They Wed Her Too
How to explain so many marriages in one soap opera queen's life? "Erica was—for most of her life—a wounded woman," says Lucci of her All My Children character Erica Kane. Part of the problem: her laundry list of ex-husbands.
1. Jeff Martin
2. Phil Brent
3. Tom Cudahay
4. Adam Chandler
5. Travis Montgomery

A curvier Jennifer Garner—whose shape sparked talk of a possible pregnancy—shopped her heart out at Elyse Walker boutique in Pacific Palisades May 1 during a Self magazine charity event. Her purchases should go well with the new pieces of jewelry she was sporting: an eternity band of diamonds from fiance Ben Affleck and a tulip pendant that she designed to benefit the event (the charm goes on sale this month, and a portion of the proceeds goes towards the Women's Cancer Research Institute of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center). "I love tulips—they're my favorite flower," says Garner. "My mother grew a lot of them." As for those pregnancy rumors, reps for Garner and Affleck couldn't be reached for comment.
Nick & Jess: Apart Again
After performing for U.S. troops abroad, Jessica Simpson and hubby Nick Lachey entertained themselves—in separate countries. Simpson had a girls' weekend in Vegas, attending the Hard Rock's l0th-anniversary events before her entourage joined Fred Durst at the Body English club, where Simpson danced, mainly alone. Lachey, meanwhile, club-hopped in Stockholm, where he was recording songs for his upcoming solo album.
Felicity Huffman
Taking a break from Desperate Housewives, Felicity Huffman attended the Tribeca Film Festival recently to promote her role in the independent movie Transamerica. Huffman, 42, plays a transsexual woman in the film, produced by her husband, Bill Macy. She spoke with Scoop at the premiere.
There's a scene where you are naked in the bathtub. What were you thinking while filming that?
I hope I don't look fat.
How do you play a man about to become a woman?
I did a lot of research. I went to transgender conventions, studied with transgendered women, studied with women who teach men how to become women. I read every biography I could get my hands on. I worked with an acting coach and my husband. The final key was my voice.
You trained your voice to be four octaves lower than usual, right?
Women's chest cavities aren't as big as guys', so they just can't get the resonance. I had to find a way to artificially put it down there.
Have your Housewives costars seen the film yet?
No, but they're excited about it. Teri [Hatcher] came into my trailer and was like, 'Oh my God, the film festival, I'm gonna be there!' And Marcia [Cross] wanted to have a screening at my house, a popcorn party.
So what has ft been like for the Housewives cast since the Vanity Fair cover shoot, which fueled rumors you don't get along?
It made our ratings go up. It was fine.
The cover was hot.
Yeah! A little airbrushing there! But it was fine.
You're portrayed as the most levelheaded of the group. How do you do that?
That has absolutely nothing to do with me. It's all made up. It just depends on who they're pointing their finger at. Next week it might be me.
It seems like you're enjoying the film festival.
It doesn't get any cooler than this. Hip, smart downtown people. Look, I'm wearing black, I'm trying to fit in!

My reason for wishing to get into primal more seriously is the excess fat around the middle as previously touched on in the first post. It is not vanity that drives this wish to rid myself of the gut,to get into smaller jeans, but the risk of developing diabetes.
A typical week consists of the alarm clock going off at 05:20, drive to work, in the gym at 06:30, then in the office by 07:30 working until 5pm to then get home by 6:30pm. Weekends tend to be spent minding the grand kids, all 5 of them, while the parents can work. So the chances of doing anything training wise in is limited. As my OH does child minding of 4 of the grand -kids during the week, I've been dropping subtle hints that we need time together.
Today was a good day due to the rain finally stopping and being able to get outside as the tummy bug I had on Saturday seems to have passed. The OH suggested a walk as we had a day off from child-minding, so I jumped at the chance, not often we get the time to ourselves. The plan was to do a short walk along the canal path, well 14,676 steps (7 miles) later we arrived back home. The walk was great, lots of talking about health and diet, my OH has high blood pressure and is on medication, so this walk could only be good. Perhaps she may even make the primal move. On our return we were greeted with a box full of krispy kremes, a KK outlet has opened up at one of the shopping centres and our son is an addict to them (damn Homer Simpson).
Today's food was sparse and consisted of a breakfast with 4 eggs, scrambled plus 2 cups of black coffee, no lunch as out walking, then dinner was home-made tomato soup with Cajun sweet potatoes. Dinner may seem odd, but it is our comfort food after feeling ill, well the OH has chips (fries) with hers.
Some of the posts I've read on here mention eating dairy for muscle growth, which in turn will lead to improved fat burning which will, over time get rid of the gut. It sounds so simple and it is, I just need to remember it took time to get out of shape and surprise surprise, it will take time to get into shape. It would be nice to have the time to play a sport, but being realistic, I've just not got the time, plus the last time I played hockey(at school) I ended up with a broken nose and 3 stitches, so tended to shy away from sport.
Time to start the ritual for work tomorrow, sports kit packed, lunch prepped, laptop, phone, iPod charged....oh yeah and set alarm for daft o'clock.

Three easy ways:
1) Set up the router so that it doesn't broadcast the SSID, and make the
SSID something that people won't guess. By default, routers often have the
SSID set to 'default' or the manufacturer's name. Set it to some random
collection of letters. Set your laptop the same way and no one will easily
find your router.
2) Set up WEP security. You pick WEP keys for both the router and your
3) Set up the router so that it only recognizes the MAC address of your
laptop's wireless connection. That way, your machine is the only machine
your router will recognize.

Alice has been having a BLAST playing with all the wonderful goodies Pom Tree Kids sent us.
The Pom Tree kits are easy to use, colorful and fun. Kids can just have fun with them exploring and building their own imagination. Interlocking foam pieces are much like a puzzle which exercises their problem solving skills. The kits are made up of interlocking foam pieces, colorfully displayed cardboard, felt and foam stickers. All the kits coordinate with other kits and are interchangeable. Alice plays with her kits for hours creating and recreating all kinds of fun scenes and works of art.
Alice decided to open the Feathered Friends Post Office 3D kit right away. We got everything out, had snacks and water on hand and we were ready to play!
The pieces interlock and are easy to put together.
Alice LOVED putting the kit together and was able to do it almost all by herself.
Since then we have created many fun projects using the kits from Pom Tree.
Alice and I made a foam stick scarecrow.
We used the foam sticks, felt flower stickers and chenille stems from the Pom Tree Mega Kit. We also used some felt, glitter Mod Podge and googly eyes.
First we glued the sticks together. Alice brushed the glitter Mod Podge over the sticks. I cut a hat and nose from felt. Then Alice glued on the eyes, nose, hat, chenille stems for hair and drew on a proper scarecrow smile. Alice added a felt ribbon and felt flower on the hat.
Isn't it super cute!!?
We also followed the directions inside the Pom Tree Mega Kit and created a Foam Craft Stick Flower. Actually, Alice made the Flower all by herself! It's wonderful that these kits are kid friendly and easy to use. It gives them such a sense of pride and accomplishment to create by themselves.
Here is her cute Glittery Foam Stick Scarecrow and her Foam Stick Flower.
Alice still has a TON of supplies from her Pom Tree kits to play with!

Michael Vey says he's "seen it all before."
The Vietnam War veteran watched the TV news footage of Saigon's fall in 1975 - a few years after he returned home from combat duty.
"I remember thinking, 'What a waste,' " he said. "Ten years, 58,000 American lives, and we let it fall."
Now, Vey, 62, of North Cape May, is watching Islamist militants trying to take over Iraq city by city, a decade after he and members of his New Jersey Army National Guard unit helped topple Saddam Hussein.
"It's happening all over again," said Vey, a retired first sergeant who served in the 253d Transportation Company.

Washington is gearing up for a confirmation fight over President Obama's choice to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter.
The leaders of both parties started laying the groundwork for a battle on the Sunday talk shows.
Republicans are clearly fearing the nightmare scenario in the president's pick to replace Justice Souter, with Senator Orin Hatch telling ABC's "This Week" he fully expects the president to pick a very leftwing, activist justice.
"If he's saying that he wants to pick people who will take sides -- he's also said that a judge has to be a person of empathy," Hatch said. "What does that mean?"Usually that's a code word for an activist judge. But he also said that he's going to select judges on the basis of their personal politics, their personal feelings, their personal preferences. Now, you know, those are all code words for an activist judge, who is going to,you know, be partisan on the bench.
But Judiciary Chairman Democrat Patrick Leahy told ABC he would like to see more people "from outside the judicial monastery" - that's code for someone who is not already a judge.
"Well, I've known President Obama long enough he doesn't need to use code words," Leahy said. "He speaks very plainly and very directly. I have a pretty good sense of what he has in mind for a justice."
Some have suggested the president may actually select a so-called moderate coalition builder. But even that won't make this confirmation battle any less intense.

The dress I got online for my son's wedding was snug. I went out and bought a spanx slip. Then I worked hard in the weeks before the date and only needed a pair of bike shorts-like spanks. So, you might consider something similar.
After we both get home from our respective work trips (yes, hubby's away next week too), on Fri night we're going to the "Commander's Gala", a formal event hosted by the General, with expectations that we attend. Took in my mess dress uniform (basically, like a tux with a long skirt) to the dry cleaner. Haven't worn it in 2 years, and it's the one I had made in 1990 (seriously!) and have never had the size altered. At times it's been too small, at times quite loose. Unfortunately, today the skirt is a decent bit more snug that I was expecting. Granted, I have put on a bit over the last several months...in fact, my thighs even seem to be slightly larger since starting crossfit. Ack!. Definitely building muscle, but am quite certain that's not the entire story there. Ah well, this week I shall have to cut back and hopefully the skirt will be a tad less snug on Friday.
At least this trip, there are no rooms on base available, so we're staying in hotel, and on full meal allowance rather than having to eat at the mess. Better likelihood of getting better options. Think I'll aim for lower carb since I won't be crossfitting. Potato hack would be a little tricky to pull off, since I'm traveling with another guy from the office. Probably wouldn't hurt to throw in a bit of cardio at the little hotel gym, too.
The dress I got online for my son's wedding was snug. I went out and bought a spanx slip. Then I worked hard in the weeks before the date and only needed a pair of bike shorts-like spanks. So, you might consider something similar.
Hmmm. Not wanting to go that route, but I suppose it is an option. Will see how things are fitting when I get home and try it on after retrieving from the cleaners on Friday morning.
Feeling weary tonight, and not surprisingly somewhat sore from yesterday's workout. Got my groceries and errands mostly done, stocking up on stuff the boys wanted for the week. I'll precook a bunch of burgers tomorrow for them to have through the week.
Think I'm aiming for an early bed (early for weekend, anyway), hubby will be up early as he leaves at 830, so will likely wake me when he's getting ready. Planning for tomorrow for cleaning, packing, laundry.
Started listening to Loren Cordain's talk on the Gluten Summit, but not all the way through. Not really in the mood for podcasts today, too bad, as today's speakers all looked good. Don't think I'll get there tonight, either.
Ended up not eating much at all until supper, not planned, just happened that way.
couple bites of steak
bottle of kombucha
pork chop, delicata squash, roasted brussel sprouts and a few carrots and cauliflower.
a rum & zevia.
pepperoni stick
Yes, all the speakers are terrific today, which is kind of unfortunate as I would like to listen to all of them twice and I will be lucky to get in one listen. If I had any doubts about giving up grains (which I didn't) I would be totally sold now. Grains are the product of Satan.
I hate to sound like a shill of the fashion industry, but Spanx aren't too bad. They make everything hang nicely even if you aren't looking for a bit less snugness. And they are comfortable.

"Freedom from fear" could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights. - Dag Hammarskjold
Winter has struck. Had to shovel the driveway this morning before I could get out to Costco.
Laundry, housecleaning, and packing are on the list for today. The boys asked if I can precook a bunch of bacon as well to add onto their burgers, heehee. Might just pack some with me in a baggie for travel snacks .
Legs were stiffer this morning than yesterday, the calves in particular. Methinks an epsom salt bath tonight would be a great idea, once all the day's work is done.
Cleaning done, bathrooms, floors, laundry, kitchen. Burgers grilled (yes, in the snow, temps just below freezing so no big deal, and no dishes to wash), bacon baked, fridge cleaned out of bits that won't last the week and that I know the boys won't eat. Packed, aside from the last morning bits. Taxi around 1030, so time for all those last bits in the morning. Garbage out, and an second shovel of the driveway where it blew in through the day in order to get the bins out. And the boys can park in the driveway when home from work tonigh instead of the street until we get home. Can't believe we are now a 4 car family. Good grief. Bath completed, along with a lovely cab merlot. And I managed to get in all 4 of the gluten summit presentations today. Tons of good information.
Remembered that Walking Dead was on tonight, but can't watch it without hubby. Grrr. Now on the PVR. Must remind son #1 to not delete after he watches. He's working late tonight.
2 black coffee
bone broth with an egg yolk and gelatin
kombucha. First of the Halloween bottled batch, mmmmm. Very fizzy. And lemony. And gingery.
late dinner of the other half of my huge steak from Friday, mushrooms, last few brussel sprouts.
cab merlot.
I have bacon stashed in a baggie to take with me tomorrow. Heheheheh. As long as I remember to grab it...
Got home late Thursday night, after a successful working group. Kept the foods decent, mornings were black coffee with a couple of strips of packed bacon, small lunch, reasonable primal friendly dinners. Had sashimi (with a bit of rice) with Tom Yum soup twice, a lovely roasted chicken meal with local veggies, butter chicken over rice made by a friend. Bit of wine, but not too much. Down a pound for the week.
Took yesterday off to regroup. Last night was the big formal gala, the skirt was still on the snug side, but a good bit less so than when I tried it on last week. The menu was lovely, the company great, music fantastic, and much wine was consumed. Stayed overnight in a hotel downtown, a block from the venue, very comfortable bed. Today, my toes are sore from dancing in rather high heels (closed toe pumps). There was a headache in the morning, but long gone now.
Tonight we're going to a holiday thing at one of hubby's colleagues, half an hour outside the city. Will make dinner to have before we go, as this is just snacks and drinks. Hubby's driving.
It got COLD at home this week. -20C when I got home. Boo. But my plug in seat warmer is now back in the car (no heated seats ), and was feeling grand as I was out doing errands today. Will be not so bad the week ahead, only in the minus single digits. I can live with that.
Last night's "festivus" activities were fun. Nearly got lost as their new subdivision wasn't registering on the car GPS, but google maps saved the day. Or night. Lovely new house, lots of good conversation, and the host was quick to point out which of the snacks were gluten free, as she knows from hubby how we eat. Nice. Some great homemade wine as well. Stayed out of the cosmopolitans, which in her house is made by the pitcher and referred to as "pink juice" by she and her 2 young adult daughters.
Out urban foraging today. Came home with local eggs, steaks, a great 4 lb pork shoulder (I see carnitas in my near future), organic gelatin, sea snacks, kelp powder (might work in bone broth?), a bar of free trade organic 85% dark chocolate, and a few other odds and ends.
The pressure cooker is full of grass fed beef bones with a few slices of beef feet, and has just turned off. Hooray for fresh bone broth. Kombucha is bottled. This batch brewed for 2 weeks, and is rather tart. Added meyer lemon juice plus zest, fresh ginger, and 2 T of maple syrup for the 6 bottles. New brew is on. Scoby continues to impress me with it's robust growth. Hubby still finds it a little creepy and shudders when I show it off to him. I now have plenty of booch that needs consumption: 5 bottles of the halloween bottled brew, and 6 of the Remembrance day ones, plus the 6 from today. I can "afford" a bottle daily for the next while. I think perhaps the next batch should be flavoured with mandarin orange. Orange ginger perhaps? That might be fantastic.
I don't think I've eaten yet today. No particular reason, just didn't get there, and hunger is not a pressing issue. A rum & zevia managed to pour itself while I was puttering in the kitchen. Steaks for dinner, that's usually a Fri or Sat thing here, but it wasn't doable this weekend, so Sunday it is. Not grass fed, but lovely good quality ones from the butcher.
Yesterday's dinner was very tasty. Cubed chicken breast sauteed in avocado oil, mixed with mushrooms, broccoli, onion, chicken broth and sour cream served over rice. Saucy and lovely.
Planning on getting back to crossfit tomorrow after a week away. No doubt an ass kicking is coming my way. That's a good thing.
A 12 ounce striploin, mushrooms, baked potato with butter, sour cream & scallions, sauteed peppers. And wine. I'm stuffed. And the belly is rumbling like mad. But not in a bad way. Just noisy.
Watched last week's and tonight's episodes of The Walking Dead. Oh my.

Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman left Tuesday's game after being struck in the face by a line drive from Kansas City's Salvador Perez.
Chapman, who threw a 99 mph fastball on the play, suffered fractures above his left eye and nose. Given the frightening nature of incidents like this, it's best to wish Chapman a full recovery before assessing what's next in his career. (Update: Chapman reportedly has a "very mild concussion" but no brain or eye damage. A full recovery is expected, but a timetable of 6-8 weeks before he's pitching again has been mentioned.)
MORE FANTASY: SP Podcast | SN Experts Draft | Join Fantasy Source today
Jay Bruce told MLB.com it was the most frightening thing he's ever been a part of.
"I never got close enough to see it," Bruce said. "The way it was explained, as hard as he throws and as hard as that ball was hit off of the bat, we're hoping for the best."
Obviously fantasy baseball comes second, but it's still a hole owners must address now. Chapman ranks sixth in the majors with 76 saves the past two seasons, and he has 234 Ks in that stretch. He's an elite closer who second and sixth, respectively, in our Roto Rater the last two years.
Jonathan Broxton, Sean Marshall and J.J. Hoover are the fill-in options until Chapman returns. Broxton struggled last season but has more ninth-inning experience. Marshall has a 2.40 ERA in two seasons since coming to Cincinnati, but he has limited experience as a closer. Marshall has dealt with shoulder issues, however. Hoover is the sleeper who might get a shot. He had 67 Ks in 66 innings out of the bullpen last year. Hoover has the most upside.
Owners should make room for one of Hoover, Broxton or Marshall -- in that order -- until there is both more clarity on Chapman's health and who the ninth-inning guy might be. A committee approach could be the way to go.

The Texas Chainsaw Musical! is the story of a handsome serial killer, his overly affectionate momma, the women he loves, and the pantywaist runt that ruins everything. It is not based on the 1974 horror film, but on the same events that inspired The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, and Silence of the Lambs: Wisconsin serial killer, Ed Gein. In the musical, Eddy Gee has been tormenting the residents of Plainfield, Texas since he was a child. After killing his mother, Eddy snaps and goes on a rampage, but things get problematic when he falls in love with one of his intended victims. Over-the-top humor, absurd but authentic characters, and moving, catchy tunes lead us through the lives of the four main characters as they trip over each other toward an unexpected and shocking ending.
