Celebrity Spotlight
Miranda Lambert is not ashamed of the woman she’s become. Her newest single “Heart Like Mine” has become an anthem of acceptance for her fans, and a reminder for listeners to know that you are loved no matter what. “I grew up in church, and my mom always says I cut my teeth on a church pew (laughs), but I have also been judged a lot, and probably judged a lot myself. But I feel like there’s nobody to do that except for that Man Upstairs, so I think this song’s just really about embracing who you are and knowin’ that, no matter what, somebody loves you without condition.” Miranda will be honored on April 22nd by the ACM Girls Night Out: Superstar Women of Country tribute for her contribution to country music.
RIDDLE ME THIS
There are four girls, and four apples in a basket. Every girl takes an apple, yet one apple remains in the basket? How is this possible?
The answer is that one girl took the basket. She took the last apple while it was in the basket.

LCpl. Fabbri was assigned to Headquarters Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force and passed away Sept. 28, 2010 while conducting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan. Lance Cpl. Ralph Fabbri would have celebrated his 21st birthday today. Instead, his grieving family is releasing a bouquet of balloons in his memory. Fabbri primarily worked as a combat photographer, his cousin Stacy Hoover said. He was in the final weeks of an approximately six-month tour in Afghanistan and his first in the Middle East since joining the Marine Corps in 2008. He will be remembered as a down-to-earth, fun-loving and considerate person who chose to serve his country.

This Is Nuts
Over the weekend, Sweetwater, Texas, held its annual Rattlesnake Round-up. Up to 50,000 people from hundreds of miles around attended. It began as a way to control the rattlesnake population and as a rite of passage for boys, to lure deadly rattlers out of their dens with gas fumes and grab them with tongs. They're skinned, gutted, and made into meat, wallets and boots. Tourists can pay $10 for the chance to skin a rattlesnake. It all kicked off with a beauty contest, the Miss Snake Charmer Pageant. It's the only pageant where contestants must not only be beautiful, graceful and talented, but also must decapitate and skin a rattlesnake. The winner, Laney Wallace, posed with tiara and machete, and said, "I would've never imagined in a million years that I would be Miss Snake Charmer. I'm so lucky."
* Rattlesnake skinning and decapitating is something that all Texas charm schools teach.
HEALTH MOMENT
A Canadian sleep expert has claimed that getting out of your chair more often could help reduce snoring, the New York Post reported.
Douglas Bradley, director of the Toronto Research Institute’s Sleep Research Laboratory, has linked excessive sitting to sleep apnea, a condition where a sleeping person’s throat collapses, stopping breathing and interrupting sleep.
During long periods of sitting, fluid gathers in your legs, which then moves to your neck when you lie down at night.
When your muscles relax, your airway can get sucked shut "like a wet straw," Bradley says.
The solution offered by Bradley and his team is to fit sleep apnea sufferers with compression stockings that reduce leg fluid, but getting up for a quick walk every hour will also alleviate fluid buildup.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Health officials in both California and Colorado report that even
though the health problems that can be helped by marijuana strike men and women equally, over 70 percent of customers at prescription pot dispensaries are men. One dispensary owner said it might be that women feel scared or uncomfortable with the concept of going to a pot dispensary.
Mostly, women are scared of getting the munchies.
And I leave you with this thought.
"A very great vision is needed, and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky."
