John Kelly's Washington
John Kelly: In a couple of hours I will drive to Dulles to take delivery of Tommaso, our Italian exchange student. He's the 17-year-old son of My Lovely Wife's penpal, a woman Ruth met 30 years ago and has kept in touch with ever since.There is much excitement in the Kelly household. The Earth may be shrinking in many ways, but it's still sort of neat to have an alien in our midst. Of course, that leaves the little matter of what we do with the guy for three weeks. We have a trip to a Nationals game planned. And a getaway to NYC to see a Broadway show. What else should we do?Tommaso will spend his mornings in an English class (although, like many Yooropeans, his English already is pretty good), with his afternoons free. He should probably teach me Italian!I was going to scout out places for him to watch the Italian team play in the World Cup, but I guess we don't have to worry about that anymore.In other news: Metro's gonna cost you more than ever. And Arlington Cemetery seems more messed up than ever.Let's go.
Metro, my Metro: John--I read in the Post that the Virginia governor is threatening to withhold the Virginia Metro funds unless more Virginia members are appointed to the Metro board. I am a huge proponent of public transportation and a huge detractor of Metro. Nevertheless, I propose that Metro announce that if Virginia does not pay its share of funds, Metro will stop running in Virginia immediately. And they should stop service (at least rail, continue the buses if they want to), right at the Virginia border. I predict it will take only one workday for Virginia to drop its extortion attempt and pay up. And it will be a nice reminder to all of the drivers in the area how they benefit from public transportation even if they never step aboard.
John Kelly: Am I wrong, or has Richmond been sort of obstructionist when it comes to intelligently dealing with Northern Virginia's traffic and commuting problems? If I read today's story correctly, McDonnell wants two members on the board that oversees Metro. But he isn't necessarily saying Virginia should have two additional people on the board, just that the state should take two of the four seats now nominated by Northern Virginia. That seems reasonable, unless this is just a way for him to get in there and start messing things up. Does he care about Washington-area commuters?I like your suggestion, though, with one alteration: Keep running the trains in Virginia, just don't open the doors.
answer man help: Any idea when the UDC pool will reopen to the community? It's been closed for over a year, supposedly because they are waiting for a part. My understanding is that UDC has an agreement with the District government for their pool to have some community hours. I'd be fine if they wanted a modest fee to cover their costs, but I really want it reopened. I think the Wilson pool is great. However, Wilson is not nearly as convenient for me and every time I've been there I have had to share a lane with at least two other swimmers. I don't like that because I am a slow swimmer with disabilities and do not want to hold people up or risk being (accidentally) hit or kicked by other swimmers in my lane.
John Kelly: I just contacted a UDC spokesman who said the pool is scheduled to reopen in November. So much for getting your summer swim on.Any chatters have suggestions for other pools that might fit the bill?
What do you think about suburban livestock?: Pigs in Takoma Park highlight rise in suburban livestock.I wouldn't mind having a few chickens for the eggs.
John Kelly: I love this story. Some of the guy's Takoma Park neighbors weren't upset by the smell and noise of his pigs. But they were unsettled by the fact that he might be eating them. Uh, hello! That's what pigs are for. If god hadn't intended us to eat pigs, he wouldn't have filled them with meat, like a big, tasty, bacon pinata.These backyard farmers say chickens and pigs are quiet, but I'm not sure I believe them. Can it be true that zoning doesn't prevent my neighbor from going all Foghorn Leghorn?
Mysterious Candles on the Beltway: Since at least April, I've noticed a field full of 3-foot tall candles next to the Beltway. The field is to the right, driving on the Outer Loop from Connecticut towards Wisconsin. Originally I thought the candles may have been something a church put up for Easter, but Easter came and went and the candles have never been lit. I'm dying to know what they are there for, but don't begin to know how to find out.
John Kelly: I love it when a plan comes together. Or, rather, I love it when I immediately know the answer to a question and, even better, have already written a column on the subject.The "candles" are actually tree shelters. Inside each hollow plastic tube is a little seedling. What you're seeing is a proto-forest. Check back in 30 years. For more information, read this Answer Man column from May: "Forest of plastic tubes in D.C. area nurtures real trees." And promise me that you will never, ever miss another column again.
The Three Musketeers: How come nobody names their kids Athos, Porthos, Aramis or D'Artagnan?
John Kelly: I think a more pressing question is: How come the last three Miss New Jerseys have all been named "Ashley'? Or, rather, Ashley, Ashley and Ashleigh? (What, no Ashlee? Oh, wait, that's Miss Michigan.)
Woodbridge: Okay, not to be an old lady about it, but I don't get this World Cup thing. I guess it's exciting, but just not my cup of tea.
John Kelly: What, you don't swoon to the lovely tones of the vuvuzela? You aren't engrossed by the high-scoring action? You don't marvel at the athleto-theatrics of the players, whose grimacing contortions rival Olivier and Gielgud?Yes, the World Cup is not everyone's cup of tea, but it's just enough soccer for me. I like it for the sport--it's the beautiful game, don't forget--but also for the spectacle and the national pride it engenders. I mean, Italy is in mourning for their team in a way that you just don't see when, say, the Capitals choke in the playoffs.
Exchange student activities: Definitely go to BOTH Air and Space and the American History museums. However, I suggest going to the Udvar Hazy Center, instead of the one on the Mall. For something completely different and very fun, go white water rafting! There are several options within a day's drive. It's thrilling and perfect for a hot summer day.
John Kelly: Ooh, I hadn't thought about white water rafting. I bet he doesn't get that in Rome, the Tiber being rather pathetic. We do have a trip to Hershey Park planned, so he can partake of an American amusement park. I hope he doesn't think it's corny. We're not sure exactly what kind of 17-year-old Italian boy he is: quiet, bookish nerd or clubgoing Eurotrash.
What's happening...: ...outside my window? I'm at work next door to Union Station (near the 1st street exit from Metro). All I can see if some yellow police tape and a bunch of bystanders staring. Now I'm being told I can't leave my office. Any of your newsy friends know what's going on?
John Kelly: Dunno. Anyone?
Day trips for student: Annappolis - take a water ferry or one of the tour boats and see the Naval Academy from the water.Gettysburg - the new visitor's center is great and the movie (narrated by Morgan Freeman) is excellent.The Mall is obvious
John Kelly: I like the idea of Gettysburg. That would sort of tick the Civil War box.
Oh My Gosh!: Someone talk me down off the ledge! I am about to quit my job without another job, two kids going to college and an albatross of an inheirited house. All because of the ninth 2 1/2 hour meeting with people who talk past each other. I accomplish absolutely NOTHING here! NOTHING! I can't stand it anymore!!!!
John Kelly: Gen. Petraeus, please. Give it time.
What are must-do sights and attractions for a European visitor?: Tour the US Capitol. Visit Mt. Vernon.
John Kelly: The Capitol's a great idea. Twenty-five years ago another Italian friend of Ruth's visited, named Adriano. He loved the neoclassical buildings of Washington. I think he was sort of pleased that this big important country had chosen as its capital's architecture a design that traced its roots to his country's capital.
Union Station Happening: I'm in the same building and I'm hearing we have a "suspicious package" situation.
John Kelly: The old suspicious package. Someone's gym clothes, probably.
Baby names: My husband wanted to name our son either D'Artagnan or Cuchulain. The reason nobody names their kids these things is that the mom generally has the final say in baby names. I do know one father who managed to sneak "Luke" by his unsuspecting wife for his first son's name. She realized years later her son was named after a Star Wars character.
John Kelly: And I bet his sister is the only Leia in her class.
High School Reunion: I'm going to my five-year high school reunion tomorrow, it's a couple of states northward... What am I supposed to do at one of these things?
John Kelly: The five-year is a tough one. It's really too soon after you last saw each other. Very awkward. Why don't you spend it telling everyone what you really think of them. I don't mean that in a bad way, just be honest in a way that maybe you weren't when you were 17.Of course, that's what I tried at my five-year and people just looked at my funny.
for Tommaso: Folklife festival? American Indian museum?Take a trip to Williamsburg? Sounds like a fun time.
John Kelly: Folklife fest, definitely. I will tell him to hydrate himself frequently. And I suppose he does have to go to American Indian. Would you believe I've never been past the lobby?
Things to with a vising teen: While all the monuments and museums are a must (don't forget Mt. Vernon), why not spend a day doing things he might not get to do in Italy - visit Shanandoah National Park and do a little walk on the Appalachian Trail; go to Luray Caverns (or any of the caves out there); a day trip to Annapolis to eat some crabs; and seeing the boats at Baltimore National Harbor - all things very unique to this area.
John Kelly: I think it's also important that we take him to the mall and Costco and watch TV and do stuff that gives him a feel for what America is like for most Americans, that is, our daily sort of lives. Some of the biggest impressions I've had while abroad are those sorts of things.
She realized years later her son was named after a Star Wars character.: I named my daughter after a movie character. My husband almost convinced me to name her after a character in his favorite fantasy series.
John Kelly: Please don't tell me her name is Cruella.
Exchange student: My family has been very fortunate to host many exchange students over the last 20 years. Generally, they want to do American teengage things and interact with real American teenagers. We have spent a lot of time schlepping kids to all the usual DC spots, but what always seems most memorable to them are typical American stuff. A big Sunday breakfast; going to the local pool; hanging out a mall; catching a movie. A catch phrase in my family now is "just like the movies", because so many of the exchange kids see something unremarkable like a yellow school bus and say in wonderment "just like the movies". Enjoy!
John Kelly: Exactly. I wish we belonged to a pool. We dropped our membership after the girls stopped doing summer swim team. Maybe I should go to UDC. Oh, wait....
What NOT to do at 5 year reunion: Don't brag/whine about how much you drank in college, how many girls/guys you slept with, how great/terrible your job is.
John Kelly: Wait, what does that leave to talk about?Here was my problem at the five-year: Perhaps it was the existentialism classes I had taken in college, but I was full of the absurdity of high school. Or, rather, I wanted to talk about how much we knew know that we didn't know then and how interesting the artificiality of high school was when weighed against the knowledge that we had gained as "adults." Plus, I wanted to dance with my old high school girlfriend. That didn't go over so well, either.
Take your visitor to...: The footbridges at Great Falls. The Potomac is pretty awesome, yet so close to the city. And hiking the canal near G'twn is a good break from the monuments and pavement.
John Kelly: These are some great ideas. Thanks. I don't need to worry that he'll get bored.
What to do w/exchange student: Have you thought of orienting Tommaso with D.C.'s geography, including the usage of Metrorail, MetroBus, and other public transit? I recall 30 years ago, when I came to D.C. for graduate school at A.U., I spent lots of time reviewing D.C. maps, orienting myself to how D.C. streets were arranged. Then I spent additional time riding MetroBuses to understand their routes and schedules so that I can get to classes on-time. I did the same for MetroRail. After you do all this, then take the kid to the various museums, including, I hope, to the International Spy Museum and the Newseum.
John Kelly: YEs, that will be the first thing. He starts his English classes on Monday, the same day my daughters start their internships downtown. All of us will be heading out the door to the Metro at the same time, like a bunch of little worker bees. We'll give him a SmarTrip and a Metro map.
Why canâ??t we see what is being rung up on the register in stores?: Cash registers used to be viewable to the customer so if there was a question of the price it could be corrected at the register. Now only the cashier sees what is being rung up and if there is a disagreement one is sent to customer service to wait in an absurdly long line. Sometimes I practically get into the cashier's space so I can see what is being rung up. Oh for the good old days.
John Kelly: Is that a thing?That's my new catchphrase: Is that a thing? Translation: Is that a recognized issue/problem? I mean, now that you mention it, it does sound familiar. But is that a conscious decision on the part of retailers--ie, a thing--or is it just a coincidence?
Music: John please bring the Spectacles to Arlington!
John Kelly: I don't think we've ever played in Virginia. I take that back. We played at a bar in Herndon for some bikers returning from Rolling Thunder about five years ago. Time for us to cross the river again.
Suburban Livestock: We had some geese in our neighborhood and it wasn't pretty...literally. They roamed the neighborhood all the time, leaving droppings in everyone else's driveways and yards and they would sometimes block the road as they wandered. As you can imagine, they started getting hit (which was a whole other mess in everyone's yard and driveway when one became a projectile) and led to very awkward conversations with my son of why the birdie was sleeping in the street. Talking to the homeowner only got the response that it was legal. We're not sure what happened; at one point it appeared the house was vacated but apparently not, though the geese are no longer there. So I suppose my feeling is that I wouldn't mind as long as the smell wasn't too bad and they were confined to my neighbor's yard. And that they were subjected to inspections and could prove they knew how to care for them. I still find it hard to believe that in subzero temperatures, those animals outside drinking melted snow in the street were being well-cared for.And take Tomasso for some Italian food, just for kicks.
John Kelly: I think that's one thing we won't do. I'd be too afraid of embarrassment. The best meals I had in Italy were ones whipped up by friends. I think it's hard to compete with Mama's home cooking when Mama is Italian.
exchange student: A church with gospel music and teenagers, hopefully with some youth activity that a probably secular teenager (he's European after all) will want to join in.
John Kelly: I think I'd like a church with gospel music. Sort of D.C.'s version of the Vatican.
Bible or Star Wars: You know folks, Luke was used in a small piece of literature that came out just a bit before Star Wars released. It's called the Bible! Otherwise he'd name the kid Skywalker, right?
John Kelly: When you said it came out before Star Wars was released, I thought you meant "Phantom Menace."
Tommaso: I'm sure Tommaso will enjoy the history and culture you can show him on his visit to D.C. At 17 years, Tommaso might is likely ready for an evening hanging with kids his age at "9:30" or concerts or midnight movies with boys/girls his own age. Hovering adults, okay; a little to himself or with new American friends for self-discovery, priceless!
John Kelly: Hey, but I'm cool! I'm hip! Who wouldn't want to hang with me?Oh, who am I kidding? You're right.
Gettysburg.: Next week they are re-creating a battle. Apperently it has been 150 years.
John Kelly: I wonder who's gonna win this time.
Hershey Park and Gettysburg: If you want to spend the money for a hotel, get a hotel in the Hershey area. If you take 270 north to 15 north to Penn Turnpike (east 2 exits) to 283 east, you'll be in Hershey in about 2h15m/2h30m depending on traffic. Stay overnight in Hershey as 15 takes you through Gettysburg on the way up (or home - depending on the order of doing things). All depends on if you want a short drive to sleep after the amusement park or after the day in Gettysburg.
John Kelly: Thanks for the tips.
Re: 5 year reunion: It is a weird one. A few people at mine were still in undergrad. But the excitement was that one of our classmates had married one of our teachers (he was youngish, but not THAT young). No indication that they had a thing while we were students, but who knows. Scandalous!
John Kelly: That's why you should always go to your reunions. You never know what interesting information you will pick up.
Class reunions: Somehow I never heard about my fifth and 10th reunions even though my folks were always at the same address. An old friend alerted me to the 25th. I went warily, but it was actually fun! Old animosities had been forgotten, everyone was open to remeeting everyone else, I discovered some cool people I don't remember at all, and it was altogether friendly. How about that!
John Kelly: I'm supposed to have my 30th this year, but haven't heard any details. Maybe they already had it and just didn't let me know!By the way, I'm pretty sure the mania for reunions is not something that's practiced in other countries--at least not to the extent of the U.S.
"Is that a thing?": I hate to break it to you, but that was already a Liz Lemon catch phrase, but I am sure she would appreciate your imitation.
John Kelly: My god, really? Well at least I still have my Sarah Palin impersonation.
And take Tomasso for some Italian food, just for kicks.: NO! Take him to 5 Guys.
John Kelly: Doesn't it have to be Ray's Hell Burger, these days, just on the off chance we'll run into Obama?
American Indian museum?: This is a MUST. When my French friend visited there was no American Indian museum yet and she was fascinated by all things Native American. Her most cherised souvenir from her trip here was a pair of mocassins. When I visited them in France all her father wanted to talk to me about was cowboys.
John Kelly: I'll have to check whether any state or county fairs are going on while he's here. That may be the closest we can get to some cowboys.
Movie kid names: My sister is Melanie, after Melanie Hamilton.
John Kelly: Thanks to Google, I see that is a character from "Gone With the Wind." Better than naming her Prissy, I imagine.
Arlington Cemetery: I realize this is probably more of a Howie question, but since you brought it up in the intro...any idea why this is suddenly huge news, when virtually everything I've seen reported recently was reported as long as a year ago in Salon? Why is this so much play now? Is it just a less depressing story than the oil spill and thus useful for distracting us from the gulf?
John Kelly: Well as good as Salon is, it doesn't have the reach or the pull of The Post, so I imagine that's why it's getting more play now. And news orgs like The Post prefer to write their own stories than just report on the reporting of others. I don't think there's any concerted effort to distract from the oil spill--which is still being covered extensively.Here's a question I have: Should we care that old gravestones--old, disused gravestones that have since been replaced with newer ones--should be used to control erosion in river beds? How is that disrespectful?
Suburban Livestock (Original Poster): Hi John. What I meant by taking Tomasso for Italian food just for kicks was exactly what you said. Being Italian, and having hosted Italian exchange students AND family from Italy, it's always good for a chuckle when we take them for "authentic" or "real" Italian food and see what we get. I have cousins who still talk about some of these types of meals.
John Kelly: You know, you're right. I wonder how he would react to an Olive Garden.
Baby names: The next frontier in baby names is food. I am currently trying to convince my wife to name our upcoming son "Fennel."
John Kelly: I love it. And your daughter could be Anise.
Things to do...: Definitely do a segway tour of the monuments! It's REALLY fun! I bet they don't get to do that in Italy!
John Kelly: That does sound cool. And we could reenact scenes from "Arrested Development."
Reunions: I'm not surprised you haven't heard anything about your reunion. When you do the listings, it's seems like Rockville is NEVER on there.Speaking of the reunion listings, they would be much easier to read if they were alphabetical by school. Chronological by reunion date isn't helpful unless you already know when it's scheduled.
John Kelly: The chrono listings, I'm afraid, are a way of getting as many in as I can. In time-honored newspaper tradition, we can trim the list from the bottom, which means cutting out the reunions furthest in the future. Otherwise we'd have to hunt and peck through the listings to trim them. We're trying to get an updated, alphabetical list on our Web site to make it easier to search for specific reunions.And I harbor no animosity toward Rockville. I put in what I'm sent.
Tomasso's Tour: I always recommend that visitors to D..C visit the Archives first, and check out the Decaration of Independence and the Constitution. Without those, nothing else in this city would exist.
John Kelly: True that.
American Indian Musuem: John,Never gone past the lobby ? Good for you. You saw the only good part of a beautiful building with a nothing collection. And I say that as a major Smithsonian supporter.
John Kelly: I was afraid of. But as Indians are something we've got (despite our best efforts) and Italy doesn't, we're going in!
Ashley's: John, every five years, all girls names are thrown away and we start with a fresh set.At singles functions, you know how old the women are by their names: Leah is 25, Jennifer is 40 and Mildred is 70.Did you know "Susan" was NOT one of the 400 most popular names for girls born in the 2000's decade?
John Kelly: I think "Seinfeld" killed Susan as a name. Wasn't that George Costanza's late fiancee?
Rockville, MD: Exchange student activities: Avoid the Air and Space annex--hated it. Ride the Canal boats. Go to fireworks on the Mall. Fort McHenry For fun--Spy Museum, Newseum
John Kelly: He'll be here for the Fourth and we'll be on the Mall. If you see us, say hello!
Exchange Student: New York City! Niagara Falls! The Grand Canyon!I've thought that these were the three top-see things in America for European tourists, at least.
John Kelly: Hmm, I wonder if I could take him somewhere around here and tell him it's the Grand Canyon.
And your daughter could be Anise.: That's nice, actually.
John Kelly: Isn't it? Almost makes me want to have another kid. Just my luck I'd have a boy. I'd name him Bok Choy.
Olive Garden: You mean it isn't authentically Italian? What about those TV ads where they show apprentice chefs being taught by charming Italian grannies how to smother everything in melted cheese?
John Kelly: Those "Grannies" are actual automata. Peel off that skin and there's a red-eyed Terminator in there.
Jennifer is 40 : MOST Jennifer's are 40. This one is 43, but my mom caught the trend early. She says she name me Jennifer because it was "so unusual." I don't mind though because everyone thinks I'm a few years younger than I am.
John Kelly: Which is why I'm changing my name to Ethan.
I wonder who's gonna win this time.: You think anyone won the first time?
John Kelly: Well the guys selling Confederate flags are still making money on it.
Teenager-what to do?: John, what about taking him to UMD? Might be interesting for him to see a major American university, and maybe there are some things going on there that might be interesting for him to see. Or another university would work, too...
John Kelly: Interesting suggestion. I know Italian parents are just as concerned with what college will be like for their kids as American parents are.
Exchange Student: In high school, I went to France for two weeks and stayed with a family and then the daughter came to the states and stayed with us for two weeks. We lived in Cincinnati Ohio. All she wanted to see was the Empire State Buiding which was interesting. One thing we did is that we went to the local county fair (big deal in that part of the world) and went to the demolition derby. YOu should have seen her face. I can only imagine what she told folks back home about this.
John Kelly: The Empire State Building's on the list, though actually we may do the Chrysler Building this time. And I suppose we should do the Washington Monument too, huh?
Re: Rockville: How could someone say they hated the Air and Space annex and not elaborate? I thought that place was amazing. The history of aviation! A freaking space shuttle (albeit not one that had been in space, but still...)!
John Kelly: I'm a sucker for aviation museums. We were in Cape May, N.J. , last weekend (land of the Ashleighs) and I dragged my family to the Wildwood Naval Air Station museum. Lots of dusty old airplanes.
Please don't do the Segway tours!: You'll look like lazy idiots. And you'll probably end up nearly running over a pedestrian. And seriously, can't you just walk?If you really want to get around the city on two wheels as a tourist, do a bicycle tour instead.
John Kelly: I think part of the attraction is that you're riding a Segway. If they offered Segway tours of shopping center parking lots, there'd be people who'd do it.
Italian Student: In my experience as a male teenager, you must take him somewhere there will be girls. A mall, a beach, Georgetown, a Justin Bieber concert, wherever.
John Kelly: Oh, the humanity....
GoApe!: A friend visited that place and adored it.
John Kelly: Huh. Hadn't heard of it.
MJ: I'm so tired of this Michael Jackson nonsense. It was bad enough that we had to go through it last year, and now it starts all over again. I enjoyed his music, but the man was a pedophile who had issues. Why is he so glorified?
John Kelly: A lot of his music is pretty incredible. He was a talented entertainer. He had, in many ways, a tragic upbringing that may explain, though not necessarily excuse, the odd creature he turned into.
Of course, that's what I tried at my five-year and people just looked at my funny.: Yeah, but you dress funny, so you never know if the looks are for what you're saying or for what you're wearing.
John Kelly: Hey, you're talking about my national dress there.
Chat: Don't you think this was a great Q and A? Everybody seemed to be in a good mood, you were funny (as always) and there was a minimum of real questions.
John Kelly: What, you don't like real questions?No, it was a fun chat. Thanks everyone for stopping by. Looks like Tommaso's plane is running about an hour behind schedule. (Speaking of which: Whatever happened to the Icelandic volcano? Do we still need to worry about it?)Stay cool on this sizzling weekend. Answer Man will be in the paper on Sunday and don't forget that if you have questions or ideas you can always reach me at email@example.com. Ciao!

Evolution of a Sports Hottie: Anna KournikovaDecember 11, 2011
Evolution of a Sports Hottie: Anna Kournikova
To understand who Anna Kournikova is, you have to understand who Anna Kournikova was. Of course, I've probably never even been in the same state as Kournikova, so I'm not qualified to give you any insight there.
But what I can do is talk about how the public persona of Anna K. changed throughout the years, namely by outlining the various ways her sex appeal has been used to sell magazines and products.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's our generation's version of the character study—the evolution of a persona. A persona in a bikini, I should add.
Pour yourself a glass of Franzia, and let's begin.
Prelude: A Tennis Player
Here we see Anna's lovely countenance in the year 2000 at the WTA Awards, the year she achieved her highest singles ranking, No. 8 in the world. The year prior, she won one of her two Australian Open doubles titles (her only Grand Slam titles in either singles or doubles) with partner Martina Hingis.
It was the culmination of a more innocent time, when she was a highly-regarded young tennis player who some noticed—in hushed tones behind closed doors, of course—was quite attractive.
And thus begins our tale.
Wait, She Was a Tennis Player?
Yes, she was. Though even when she was a tennis player, she wasn't being covered as just a tennis player.
There are a lot of angles one can photograph a tennis player from, after all.
See What I Mean
Soon enough, the "tennis" qualifier would start to lose its relevance, and the "sexy" qualifier would take hold.
Berlei: Only the Ball Should Bounce
Let's take a look at this photograph from the year 2000, when Kournikova began endorsing for Berlei.
I think it is important to note that the image of Kournikova modeling the Berlei shock absorber sports bras is larger in this photograph than Kournikova is herself.
We'll go ahead and call that a motif.
Here we see Anna modeling for Adidas in 2003, perhaps beginning the transformation from tennis player to sex symbol.
Two things are leading me to this conclusion: One, her tennis career basically came to an end in 2003.
Two, are you seeing that look on her face? She is oozing "sexy" in this picture, and she's just modeling for Adidas. We haven't even gotten to the magazines yet.
More Adidas
Oh, Anna—how your gaze has transfixed a generation of young men.
Alleged Marriage to Sergei Federov
Listen, I'm not going to get lost in the rumors game here, but the following should be noted: Kournikova was rumored to be in relationships with hockey players Pavel Bure and Sergei Fedorov, and may or may not have been engaged to either one of them.
I'm not sure why that matters, except to point out that when it comes to Miss Kournikova, what we think we know is probably never as close to reality as we want that reality to be.
Or something like that.
Classy Lady
Here, Kournikova attends the 2003 World Music Awards, dressed to the nines in a gown that would make the most composed and sophisticated man's tongue unroll out of his mouth in the manner of a Looney Toons character.
She's versatile, folks. She can do sporting wear, sports bras, glamorous gowns or, as we'll soon see, the bikini.
I'm fairly certain she appeared in FHM 147 different times. I can't verify that number, but it's probably completely accurate. Or at least sort of close to being slightly accurate.
2004 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition
Just watch the video. It will show you everything you want to know about Miss Kournikova.
Need a Shave?
Well, you probably don't want Anna doing it. Who knows how well she handles a razor?
But hey, she looks good lathering this fella up for a Gillette promotion in 2004, doesn't she? That's a little something I like to call faux-functional beauty.
(I literally just made that term up seconds before typing this slide.)
If advertisements could talk:
Look, sneakers! Hey fella, did you notice the sneakers!
Dude, there are sneakers on this picture, too... Oh, who am I kidding? You aren't looking at the sneakers. I'm just hoping you saw the name of the brand, K-Swiss, when you flipped to this advertisement and stopped to stare at Anna K.
That's all I can really ask for.
The cover for this Maxim issue noted the following:
"Finally! Earth's Hottest Girl Goes Way Over the Line. Anna Kournikova!"
At this point, we've pretty much reached the "Let's just put Anna K. in a situation that in no discernible way relates to her previous tennis career, but hey, doesn't she look exotic in this picture?"
The sex symbol has consumed the persona.
Men Want Her, and Women Want to Be Her
Oh, who are we kidding? There are probably a lot of women out there who want her too.
That's the power of Anna K.—universal, constant appeal. Her presence is comforting, somehow, as though if we let go of her, we also let go of some of those childhood fantasies we've yet to realize...
...Sorry, I blacked out for a second there. I didn't type anything weird, did I?
More Music Awards
This time, we're at the 2005 World Music Awards. And look at Kournikova, so much more coy this time around.
What time is it? she appears to be asking. Time for a lesser-known sex symbol to attract attention with a lavish gown, she answers with this outfit.
I'm just here to appear in a few photographs and pretend like I'm not bored to tears during the awards show. It's no biggie, just the life I lead now.
Did you get all the pictures you need yet?
She's Got It Together
This is Anna's fashion-conscious look, complete with a little bit of cleavage and the hint of a bare midriff alongside the tautly-pulled hair and dark colors, all of which give off this vibe that seem to remind men that they should want to respect her.
She sported this little number at the Y-3 Spring 2006 fashion show.
Also, in no way, shape or form should you ever pay any mind to my evaluations of fashion. I wear sweatshirts, like, 93 percent of the time.
She's Cool Enough to Hang with Snoop Dogg
Wouldn't they make the perfect couple?
He's the rapper that everyone is entertained by and doesn't take too seriously, which has allowed him to maintain street cred despite the fact that he has totally sold out.
She's the sex symbol whose fame out shined her game, and power to her, she took advantage of that backup plan.
How are they not the perfect couple?
The Enrique Years
Oh, right—she's already got a musician boo.
I hold by my contention that she and Snoop are perfect for one another.
She's Comfortable Being Anna
Well, at least she appears to be in this picture. Even sitting in a chair wearing an over-sized sweater, she holds a strange power over all of us.
You do you, Anna. Haters gonna hate, but you're far from the last human being to sell sex appeal. You just fit into a unique niche—young sports fans who have aged with you—and turned that into a lucrative career.
"The Biggest Loser" Year
It's one and done for her on the show, however. As a "source" close to her told People, "The show just wasn't the right fit for her."
But what is the right fit for Anna?
Tennis player? Product endorser? Sex symbol? Reality star?
She's 30, and I'm not sure we quite understand what exactly Anna Kournikova means to us, or why she is still a part of our lives. But she is. And a lot of people now despise her for that fact.
But maybe it doesn't matter what she is. Maybe, like any other fantasy we might have, it only matters what we want her to be.
When she was a thriving tennis player, she also had to be a hot tennis player, because that's really what intrigued us about her, especially when she turned 18 and the public could finally let out a collective, "Good god she's hot, and it isn't inappropriate to admit it now."
When she was no longer a tennis player but just a sex symbol, we needed to point out that her fame had drastically surpassed her game to conceal our jealousy over the fact that she was not only better at tennis than most of us would ever be at anything else, but her natural beauty also allowed her a lucrative backup career once her playing days were over.
To borrow from Eminem, Anna is whatever we say she is. And that says a whole lot more about us than it does about her.
My name is Timothy Rapp, and I put the "grrrr" in Swagger.

Miles is by far one of my favorite characters. He's witty, intelligent and he knows when to leave a bad situation and fend for himself.
I'm really confused to his status on the island though. My gut instinct says he's gonna die, but for what purpose? Why has he been here this long? Maybe we saw it in the last episode when he found alex's body. That reminded Ben about her, and maybe he'll turn on flocke in the end (a big maybe since it's ben we never know what he's up to.)
I love his flash sideways character even more. We see that he is a more developed man due to his father being around when he was a child. in the OT, he is sketchy and practically just a simple minded boy, but in the FST we see that he is a caring person (towards Ford anyways)
My wife seems to think that he'll be the next "Richard" kind of person, I can't imagine him being that though, but with this show, as we all know, anything goes!
Anyone else have any thoughts on Miles and what his status on the island is? or how his end maybe?

First and foremost we'd like to thank everyone who attended the March event, it was a great party!!!
For the next installment of RE_CHORD we're proud to bring to you DENNEY (BacktoBasics/Future/2020Vision/Greatstuff).
This cheeky northerner has really been causing waves amongst the dance fraternity over the last couple of years, pushing his distinctive brand of quality Acid House and Techno.
It wasnt until the end of 2004 that things really started to pick up for Denney when Mixmag awarded him the title of "Youngest Mixmag Future Hero", this ranked him alongside such DJs as Nic Fanciulli, Tom Neville, The Beat Monkeys and Sonny Wharton to name but a few.
This was a real stepping stone, as a few weeks after the magazine had been published, He was asked to warm up for Fatboy Slim on his much acclaimed Palookeville album tour infront of 2000 people.
Since the tour and the publicity that surrounded it Denney has played and can regularly be seen at such clubs as Gatecrasher Leeds & Sheffield (where he held a residency from 2006/2007), Circus, Back to Basics, Dirty Disco, Progression, Sugarshack, Hidden in London, and also secured a Bi-Monthly residency at one of the best underground house nights in the UK - The Pin Up Club in Sheffield in 2005. As well as these venues he has played abroad in Germany, Portugal and Ibiza – booked twice for Manumission in 2007 and Privilege in 2008. Alongside DJing Denney is gaining massive respect from his peers for his production skills. His first track "The Phantom" released on Nic Fanciulli and Andy Chatterley's Saved Records, gained support from Pete Tong (who played it on the Essential Selection on Radio 1 as well as putting it in his top 5 tracks to look out for in summer 2006) James Zabiela, Josh Wink, Funk d'void, Deep Dish, James Talk and of course Nic Fanciulli. Since then he has had releases on Nu-breed and Mode records, remixed D Ramirez's track on Azuli and Chicago's Justin Long on Dotbleep.
On top of that Denney promotes and is resident for his "Future" night in Teeside, the aim of the night is to bring him back to his home area to play, bring the fun back into House music and also bring friends and DJ's he admires in to play with him such as Ralph Lawson, Layo & Bushwacka!, Nic Fanciulli, Steve Lawler, Claude Von Stroke, DJ Sneak, Buckley, Andrew Weatherall and Ewan Pearson. Denney has appeared on numerous Radio shows and interviews over the years, these include - BFBS1 Germany, Ministry Of Sound Radio, Galaxy FM (where he has been a guest on the NU-BREED show 4 times) and Radio 1, where he mixed a 15 minute producer profile of his own tracks for the Trophy Twins show. The future is already looking bright with forthcoming high profile gigs at such clubs as his new residency at Tall Trees in Yarm, Back to Basics in Leeds, Matter in London, Sankeys in Manchester and Pete Tong presents Wonderland in Ibiza as well as various radio appearances, tracks and remixes
We've decided to keep the guest-list for the April event also, so please if you'd like to get in, save some cash and avoid the queues please post your names on the event wall. Guest-list is only valid until 11pm, so get yourselves down early.

Bill McKinney 80
December 2, 2011 by staff
Bill McKinney 80, Bill McKinney, an actor most well known for starring in one of the most unsettling scenes ever put on film, has passed away at 80 years old, according to his Facebook page. McKinney, who played the terrifying mountain man who assaulted Ned Beatty's character in Deliverance (1972), died of cancer of the esophagus. (See McKinney left, with Jon Voight.)
Though his Deliverance role gave him the most notoriety, McKinney also starred in several Clint Eastwood films, 1982?s First Blood, and 1999?s The Green Mile. More recently, he boasted appearances in films like 2010?s How Do You Know.
Also, according to his Facebook, McKinney was in the midst of sharing his life story. Says a statement on the site: "He was 80 and still strong enough to have filmed a Dorito's commercial 2 weeks prior to his passing, and he continued to work on his biography with his writing partner. Hopefully 2012 will bring a publisher for the wild ride his life was."

In 2011 FSC endorsed a revised set of Principles and Criteria. FSC have now commenced a process to assist the transfer of the new FSC Principles and Criteria to existing national standards through the development of International Generic Indicators (IGIs) to the NZ Standard. The background and process can be found at the FSC IGI site: http://igi.fsc.org/index.htm. The first draft of the IGIs has been produced and the consultation period completed.
As Standard Development Group Coordinator, Colin Maunder attended an Asia/Pacific Regional meeting to discuss how Standard Development Groups will transfer the IGI's into their national standards. From this meeting the NZ Standard Development Group was asked to provide feedback to FSC's Asia/Pacific representative on the IGI working group (Mr. Ma Lichao from China). Our feedback document can be found here and covers only areas where the NZ Standard Development Group shared common views. Notably the time frame and transfer process were thought to be difficult for New Zealand to achieve, in particular we asked that if our existing indicators already met the new Principles and Criteria, we should use these rather than the indicators in the IGIs. And only when our indictors do not meet the new Principles and Criteria we use the IGIs, but only as a guide. Else we would face a considerable amount of new work and negotiation. A subsequent conference call has helped understand that FSC are likely to support our concern and will clarify this in the transfer process.
A second round of consultation will take place later in the year, most likely November. If you have any questions or wish to take part in the next round of consultation please contact your SDG chamber representative(s).

Absolutely faultless! Couldn't ask for more
Great service, very handy as collected and dropped off to work on same day and at short notice. Repaired any faults at reasonable price. Will definitely use again.
Had a new auxilary belt and water pump fitted. They did a great job for a price I was very happy with.
Awesome service from M.R.S, got the job done perfectly, will use again.
Very friendly and polite. Done the job in no time at all. Im very impressed with the work. Will certainly recommend to friends and family. Certainly be using them again
Fantastic! Exactly what I was expecting. Excellent service. Thank you
Great service, thoroughly recommend and will be going back
Fantastic, can not fault. Extremely friendly and helpful. They did such a great job on my car it's already booked in for more work.Very happy customer.
Excellent service, will use this garage again and recommend to others. Extra £5 on quoted price was for a number plate light bulb.
They did a great job, I'm very happy
Excellent garage, will use again
Great friendly service provided, would recommend to anyone and would definately use this garage again
Did crank seal with out getting go ahead when I asked when I called to find out how the job was going to be told crank seal was leaking and had been replaced I asked how much extra it was going to be to be told there was no extra charge and job was almost finished . When I got back to the garage the job was finished the invoice was handed to me with the price of the seal on it which was only another £12 which we hadn't planed for paying out so managed to scrap that extra when complained invoice was amended to the quoted price then I asked what oil was put in the gearbox to be told 2 different story's one being castrol 70w/90 oil then when I said it was the wrong oil was told the old oil was put back in which would have been mixed with the ird box oil which is a different grade to the gearbox , the correct oil for the gearbox is mtf94 or only equivalent is an 75w/80 api-gl4 spec oil now where the oil is to thick when cold it's hard to engage any gear till warmed up so has ended up with me having to replace the oil for the correct grade at a cost of £36 just for the gearbox oil . So won't be recommending them to anyone
Top service ! Thank you Inline Automotive Solutions !
Needed my car fixed urgently and this garage was very helpful right from the start. I assumed that the oil sump gasket was leaking so i wanted it replaced. I also needed a new flexi pipe welded on the dpf as my existing one was cracked. The morning after i dropped my car i recieived a phone call to advising me that the oil leak is coming from the oil filter cooler and not the gasket. They fixed it in no time and also continued to replace the oil sump gadket for me as its a common fault on the car. Price at £340 to replace oil sump gasket, oil filter housing union pipes and unweld and reweld on a new dpf is excellent. My car no longer leaks oil and theres no rattling from under the car. I am well happy and if i need my car fixed will be definately going back. Also not only did they tell me what parts had broken they also showed me aswell which was a really nice touch. I would recommend this garage. Thank you inline automotive solutions They was able to fit me in and was able to find the oil leak with my car and fix i
They did a very good job
Good service mechanics there are great
New waterpump supplied & fitted with cambelt kit in this price which i thought was brilliant. So no worries knowing Ford Machanics done it & parts are original Ford 1's !
I had good experience. Work was done fast. Even got discount for 5£.
Used rates 3 times now excellent service
Excellent service
I would 100% recommend this garage. Their communication and customer service is excellent. They even advised me of a manufacturer recall problem which I knew nothing about and fixed that as well.
Can't fault them, they were very helpful, put up with me calling all the time, always polite and the price was very good especially with all the work involved, and not only that but even tho I gave them the go ahead to replace parts, they checked and as they didn't need doing they didn't do them :) to top it all off they kept the parts they changed for me to see after! All in all an excellent garage and will defiantly use them next time I need work doing
After i got a call back from Tom and amazing service was done(car collection and delivery) i can say only one big THANK YOU. service was very quick.... i ask my exaust to be checked as well so i got a call and i get an explanation about what causing noise and how much will cost. No hidden fees.. amazing and HONEST people. Big pleasure to find a garage where people want to care about your car. Highly recommended and i am back next week there for another job!
I was called by Tom from the garage on Sunday evening which was a surprise. He was very helpful as I also wanted a service and brake pads renewed. My car was booked in for the following Thursday and they had the car for 5 days. All work was completed to my satisfaction and i was also shown the old parts. All in all a good service from VPR and I would recommend them highly. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Initial call gave quote for just a clutch plus extra if flywheel required. On inspection found flywheel okay but needed additional oil seal for crank shaft for a small extra cost. repaired quickly and efficiently by a friendly knowledgable team. Although i had to travel it was well worth it. Definitley five star service. Recommended without reservation
Just a big thank you to the guys at VRS. Vehicle was diagnosed and repaired with great communication throughout the entire process. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reputable garage. Will definitely do business with them again (although I would prefer not to have any further breakdowns). Just a big thank you again.

Opinion: Holiday expectations
Low expectations, my friends. That's what we all need to have heading into the Christmas festivities if we are to survive the next few weeks. Don't plan the perfect dinner, don't anticipate a healthy household, and don't count on content children. You can hope for the best, sure, but only if you expect the worst will you guarantee yourself a satisfactory holiday season.
Thanksgiving provided a good test-site for my new underachieving mantra. Because the Wilson family six-pack would be staying with my parents, I knew I wouldn't be sleeping much and that downtime would be at a premium. I also understood that the 2015 turkey feast would comprise of an unusual hodge-podge of relatives, including an 86-year old ex-dancer on oxygen, my sister's new boyfriend, and two sets of uncles and aunts whom I only see once a year. And, just to make things a little more interesting, none of my other three sisters would be there with their spouses to provide conversation buffering and/or assistance.
Needless to say, my expectations of an ideal Thanksgiving were extremely low. So when my youngest's cold turned into a marathon fever and cough fest, it was honestly no big deal. When my dad and sister cheated on our pledge to wait and see Mockingjay together, I rolled with it. And when Aunt Doris the Dancer regaled us with tales of teaching ballroom lessons after working all day at the American Tobacco Company (where cigarettes were free!), I was extraordinarily entertained. Overall, a pretty nice Thanksgiving.
With Christmas and New Year's approaching, I am now prepping myself for more illness, disappointed teenagers, dog intestinal issues and at least one person over-imbibing at some party. I'm also planning on rain, a power outage, a minimum of two tree disasters and an impressive argument with my husband Doo. Maybe I'll get lucky this year and none of these potential holiday derailments will come to fruition. But if they do, they won't be ruining my holidays. Why? Because I'm expecting the worst, and therefore can only be pleasantly surprised. I suggest you do the same. Peace out.

What if JPMorgan Chase Buys Another Big Bank?
JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) made out big with its fire-sale acquisitions of Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual in 2008, adding significantly to its capital markets business and branch presence, respectively. Could it look to repeat this success in 2009, albeit in a much different market environment? The FDIC-led sale of Washington Mutual to JPMorgan conveniently added branches and deposits in some of the most hard-hit states in the country - California, Texas (where Chase already had a sizable presence) and Florida, as well as much of the West Coast. But the New York-based financial institution still lacks much of a footprint in the Southeast region. Bank failures, which currently stand at 130 for 2009, are expected to continue to pile up in 2010, given the depths of the mortgage mess as well as a growing commercial real estate problem that could put many small and mid-size regional banks at risk. Conditions might once again conspire for JPMorgan to make a fortuitous pick-up of bank gem (or gems) on the cheap. The juicier possibility is a blockbuster deal, and Anton Schutz, president of Mendon Capital Advisors and the fund manager to Burnham Financial Services, doesn't discount the idea that, if the economy stabilizes further, Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon might decide to make a big splash if he deems the acquisition essential. Schutz says Dimon's tastes could run from smaller banks like Synovus ( SNV) to something much bigger like SunTrust Banks ( STI) or Regions Financial ( RF), among others. JPMorgan certainly has the capital to fund another deal. As of Sept. 30, it had a Tier One capital ratio of 10.2% and a Tier One common capital ratio of 8.2%, although the industry as a whole is still waiting for clarity on what higher requirements regulators may put in place going forward. Still another bank acquisition does not come without its issues. JPMorgan is already tapping up against the 10% national deposit market share limits with $2.04 trillion in assets as of Sept. 30, with its more than 5,000 branches and businesses spreading from investment banking to credit cards. An acquisition of yet another large bank might not get clearance in the current political environment, some say. Already Dimon has publicly argued that, while companies should not be "too big too fail," they also shouldn't have caps on their sizes. "That any eventual transaction will be their last bank deal because from a market share perspective they're probably going to be as big as they're able going to get," Schutz says. --Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

Finding patience — I Am Patient
I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we live in a fast paced world.
Do you get annoyed with YouTube commercials, or use your PVR to skip commercials?
By the time I finish reading the foreward of a book, I've already thought of 3 new ones I want to read. I want everything.
This need of having everything yesterday has created a spiritual, intellectual and physical form of materialism.
I want to be enlightened now — I want to know everything, and have everything. Today.
Where is the damn short cut?
Why can't the practise be the prayer?
What I mean by that is why can't we enjoy the run and forget about the time? Why does the law of 10,000 hours seem impossible? Why is the result more important than the journey? Some people enjoy the act of cooking more than they like eating.
If you find an exercise you love doing — like tennis — you'll do it often, and as a result you'll get fitter.
If you find healthy recipes that taste amazing, you'll eat healthier.
Warren Buffet says he "tap dances to work." He loves reading and writing annual reports and making decisions — as a result he makes a lot of money.
Macklemore loves writing music; as a result he became famous. Not the other way around.
To me, patience means not caring about the result but rather enjoying the practise.
It means getting lost in what you love and letting time take care of itself. It means to accept the fact that nothing worth having happens overnight.
Patience is not thinking about how to retire earlier, but how to love your life's work.
In order to be patient, we need to cut the crap out of our life.
We need to be honest with ourself and ask straight up, "Why am I doing what I am doing?"
I've done this over the past few months — battling my ego. While that battle is still there, I am going to use the energy and properties of Howlite to be patient and try to enjoy it while forgetting about the result.
Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Cinnamon Red Hot Apple Pie
Recipe by JackieOhNo
Many years ago, a co-worker of mine used to go apple picking annually and would then bring some apples to me so I could make a pie for him. I got tired of making my same old apple pie and asked him if I could experiment a little bit. He agreed, and this is what I came up with. He was pleasantly surprised (and so was I).
Top Review by weekend cooker
Jackie, I can't explain how good this was. My 12 year old son had a sleepover here last night with some of his school buddies, so I actually made two of these, boy did they chow down on this, infact we had to also before it was gone. The flavors are GREAT. I took some cinnamon red candy and crushed it and added a little more to this. To say the least the boys were happy. :). Great recipe. Made for PRMR tag.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- pastry for double-crust pie
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon red-hot candies

Wildcats Shine Under Lights at ASU Invitational
Wildcats Shine Under Lights at ASU Invitational
March 25, 2012
TEMPE, Ariz. - While many Wildcat fans were preparing to watch the local news or for bed, the Kansas State track and field team was preparing to run under the lights out west at the ASU Invitational in Tempe, Ariz. The Wildcats tallied a pair of victories, six runners-up and posted multiple personal records at the meet hosted by Arizona State at Sun Angel Stadium on Saturday night.
With field events contested throughout most of the afternoon at the ASU Invitational, running events started in the late afternoon and ran until the sun was down and the Wildcats performed well under the lights and in their first full squad competition of the outdoor season.
The distance runners came out strong with Boglarka Bozzay leading the way for K-State in the 1,500 meters. Bozzay clocking in with a new personal record at 4:21.51 that also ranks ninth in school history. Two Wildcats on the men's team also posted PR's in the 1,500 with Armando Del Valle running 3:47.24 to finish fifth and stand 10th in school history. Kyle Hanson claimed a PR as well, crossing the line in 3:52.09. Both Del Valle and Hanson tallied PR's in the 800 meters as well. Del Valle clocked a 1:49.79 and Hanson was in at 1:52.47.
Senior Sydney Messick returned to action for her final season as a Wildcat and finished second in the women's 5,000 meters. Messick crossed the line in 16:54.82. Freshman Laura Galvan was next to finish behind Messick and give the Wildcats two runners in the top three in the event. Galvan ran the race in 17:14.27.
Three Wildcats posted big numbers in the sprints led by sophomore newcomer Carlos Rodriguez. The native Puerto Rican ran 10.58 seconds in the 100 meters to just miss the school's top 10 list in his outdoor debut as a Wildcat while he took fifth place. Junior Samantha McKnight finished sixth for the women with a new PR time of 12.09. Freshman Sophia Alonso took second for the women in the 400 meters running 55.87.
One of the best performances of the day for the Wildcats came in the men's javelin during the afternoon when Tomas Kirielius posted K-State's second win of the meet. Kirielius won the javelin by nearly two meters ahead of newcomer Ivan Hartung with his throw of 68.89 meters (226-00). The throw also pushed Kirielius into the school's top 10 ranking at No. 7. Hartung's second-place throw was only one centimeter short of his Wildcat debut last week at 66.95 meters (219-08), and senior Cory Boulanger threw 63.66 meters (208-10) to finish seventh and give the Wildcats three athletes to crack the 200-foot mark on the day.
K-State Head Coach Cliff Rovelto said he was pleased with a number of his Wildcats and has high hopes for more good marks down the road at bigger meets.
"As you know, I tend to look at things in terms of potential scoring at the conference and national levels," Rovelto said. "With that in mind I thought Bozzay and Rodriguez had fine opening meets. Tomas threw well in the disc and javelin, which is a good sign for the decathlon."
K-State's first win of the ASU Invitational came in the women's high jump early in the afternoon when freshman Joslyn Barnes continued to build off her fifth-place finish at the Big 12 Indoor Championship. Barnes leapt 1.73 meters (5-08.00) to tie with Arizona State's Christabel Nettey and claimed the victory based on misses at previous heights.
It was not just in the distance and field events that the Wildcats saw success at the meet, either.
The women's multi program had all of its athletes competing in multiple events, and one newcomer cracked the school's top 10 list in the 100 meter hurdles. Junior college transfer Richelle Farley ran 13.84 in the event to finish third and put herself sixth in K-State history. Senior Ryann Krais was right behind her in 13.99 seconds to finish fourth, and sophomore Erica Twiss finished fifth in 14.15. Krais kept the good day going for the heptathletes with a new PR in the shot put as well, and sophomore Julia Zeiner had a PR in the long jump as she leapt 5.68 meters (18-07.75).
"In general, the heptathletes did a good job. The gals should have fun next week in Tuscon in the heptathlon," Rovelto said. "We had a number of freshman do a good job, and hopefully they can build on this throughout the season and be a help at the conference championship."
On the men's side of the hurdles, freshman Tarique Hill finished second as he crossed the line in 14.54. Franciso Colomar also claimed fourth in the 400 meter hurdles with his time of 52.96 not far off his PR.
K-State's throwers showed improvement after opening the outdoor season last week at the Tulsa Duels. Tomaz Bogovic finished fifth with his toss of 60.54 meters (198-07) to improve his mark from a week ago by more than 11 feet. The mark was also just more than two feet off his of own school record.
The Wildcats also had impressive showings in both relays with the women's team fielding a 4x100 relay squad this season full-time. The group of McKnight, Farley, Twiss and TiAra Walpool claimed second place for the women with a time of 46.52 seconds. Sarah Kolmer, Twiss, Alonso and Krais would then team up in the final event of the night to finish third in the 4x400 relay. The women's squad clocked in at 3:44.18. The men put a 4x400 team on the track and came away in third place. K-State's tandem of Rodriguez, Chris Campbell, Jacob Davies and Colomar crossed the line in 3:15.52.
K-State will return to Manhattan for a few days before a busy week of split action. Some Wildcats will be turning around and heading back to the desert for the Jim Click Combined Event Shootout hosted by the Arizona Wildcats. Others will be going to the Texas Relays and the ESU Open at Emporia State.

5 Reasons You Should Hire a Male Nanny
Move over Mary Poppins. The manny (male nanny) has arrived!
New statistics from Childcare.co.uk has revealed that more men are entering into the world of childcare with male childcare providers doubling in numbers since 2009. Celebrities are also turning to male nannies for support; with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel reportedly recently hiring a manny.
So could a male nanny be for you? Parenting expert Jo Wiltshire explains her top 5 reasons why you should put aside any bias and hire a manny.
It breaks down gender biasesIts important that children see both men and women in a caring role; it gives them perspective, says Jo. Hiring only female care givers could imply that only women can be nurturing. Men are equally loving and capable; hiring a manny helps to breakdown the stereotype
It can give your kids a valuable male role modelIts not just single mums who need a manny to provide their kids with a good male role model; many families with two parents also see the benefit of an extra trusted male figure in their childrens lives. The child gets the opportunity to form a big brother type of relationship with their care giver someone they, look up to and feel protected by.
They offer different experiencesIm not saying that female nannies
They can help if your child is less abledMannies can be a great asset if your children are disabled or need extra physical support. Men tend to be stronger which means if a child is less physically abled, mannies can lift a child more easily and safely. Knowing your child is in a strong pair of safe hands when you are at work or out for day really helps putting parents minds at ease.
It encourages other men into the childcare professionWhat a better way to encourage more men into the profession then hiring a manny yourself. Until recently childcare was seen as a female profession comments Jo, but with more men going into childcare this is starting to shift. Seeing more and more men becoming mannies hopefully will give guys considering the profession the confidence to take that leap. Its about the person their skills, how they fit with your ideals and your requirements it shouldnt be anything to do with gender.
