So far, the photo has earned the reality star a ton of attention with over 85,000 likes in addition to 1,500 comments. Some fans chimed in on the post to gush over how amazing Christina looks while countless others told her to hang in there and congratulated her on the good news. Of course, a few other fans took to the... |
“Both of my pregnancies were awful well into the 2nd trimester! And with my second son, I had pneumonia at 26 weeks. Not fun,” one follower wrote. |
“Congrats! My wife is 17 weeks right now. Her due date is also in September,” another chimed in. |
As The Inquisitr shared back in December, Christina and Ant, who is the host of Velocity network’s Wheeler Dealers, tied the knot in a surprise “Winter Wonderland” ceremony at their home in Newport Beach, California. From the get-go, everything was top secret and even guests who were invited didn’t realize that they wo... |
The couple had only been dating since October of 2017 before taking the plunge and tying the knot. |
Ester Ledecka sealed the first snowboard and skiing double victory in Olympic history on Saturday as she pulled off a stunning win in the women's snowboard parallel giant slalom. |
Ledecka, 22, beat Germany's Selina Joerg in a tense snowboard final. Germany's Ramona Hofmeister took bronze. |
The Czech world champion and hot favourite had earlier shocked the world of alpine skiing by capturing gold in last week's super-G skiing. |
The men's gold medal went to Nevin Galmarini of Switzerland, who beat South Korea's surprise finalist Lee Sang-ho. |
One week ago, Ledecka stunned a strong field including defending champion Anna Veith and American star Lindsey Vonn to win the super-G, becoming one of the stories of the Games. |
Ledecka started skiing aged two and snowboarding at five and has competed at world championships in both events, although she had never medalled on skiis before the Pyeongchang games. |
With Saturday's win, Ledecka joins Norwegians Thorleif Haug and Johan Groettumsbraten as the only athletes to do a multi-sport double at the Winter Games. |
Haug did the cross country and Nordic combined double at the 1924 Olympics and Grottumsbraten won the same events at the 1928 Games. |
"She will definitely have a long-lasting impact," American ski star Lindsey Vonn said earlier of Ledecka. |
"With the next generation coming up, everyone wants to experience everything. Millennials are raw -- being inclusive and trying other sports is important for them, as it should be. |
"Ester can give them hope that competing and being successful in more than one sport is possible." |
HARBOR SPRINGS — Those in Northern Michigan looking for the best golf tips, top lessons and hands-on experience with one of the nation’s best golf professionals don’t have to travel far. |
Shaun Bezilla is right in Northern Michigan’s backyard. |
The head golf professional of the Harbor Point Golf Club in Harbor Springs, Bezilla was recently named the Michigan Golf Professional of the Year by his peers, the top honor a golf pro can receive. |
Bezilla was also named the Junior Golf Pro Leader of the Year as well, as he and wife, Shauna, co-started the First Tee program of Boyne Highlands, a national program dedicated to character building and golf skills. |
Bezilla is currently the lone certified golf coach for the program. |
Apart from the First Tee program and being a golf pro with Harbor Point for going on nine years now, Bezilla is also an owner and operator of Bezilla’s School of Golf and owns and operates Shozam Golf LLC, a clothing and golf accessories store located in downtown Harbor Springs. It’s a busy golf schedule for Bezilla, b... |
“Golf Professional of the Year award is kind of all encompassing,” he said. |
The Michigan award is handed out by the Michigan PGA, but voted upon by golf professionals from a number of different regions in Michigan. Nominations for the award are handed through each region, which then move onto the state level and eventually three candidates are interviewed for the award. |
With the Michigan award already wrapped up, Bezilla has a chance to be placed into national consideration. A process he looks forward to entering. |
Through his eight seasons, going on nine, at Harbor Point, Bezilla has seen the course transform into a place he’s been proud to work for, as it’s escalated into one of the area’s most prominent private golf clubs. |
Bezilla, himself, is part of what makes Harbor Point one of the top places, as well, and according to Norm Harris, a former beneficiary of Bezilla’s teachings and Harbor Point member, Bezilla is special part of the club. |
For now, as long as there’s snow on the ground, Bezilla is confined to indoors working his store, but that doesn’t stop him from teaching the game he loves at the same time. |
“Throughout the course of the winter I’ll organize with the other golf pros in the area and we’ll go to the school systems and teach golf to the kids,” he said. |
The excitement of snow melting, greens being cut and drives hitting the fairway once again, rather than a net, seems too much for Bezilla to contain. |
“There’s so many skiers in the are that aren’t looking forward to the snow going away quite yet, I’m completely the opposite. I can’t wait for it to get out of here,” Bezilla said enthusiastically. |
The official award will be handed out downstate on Monday, March 25, a day Shaun certainly has circled on the calender. It’ll be one of many honors that he’s had come his way over the years and clearly not the last. |
“Certainly being named Golf Pro of the Year is the best honor that I’ve had,” he said. |

Sprawled across pages 18 and 19 is a good picture that shows all sorts of detail, but the way you have it shown is very confusing. I had to get out my Thomas atlas to make sense of it. You should've shown it upside down. |
In the lower right corner of the picture you show a building labeled “10 Corner Proposed Location.” The long side of that building runs from south to north, and the short side of it runs from east to west. However, north is at the bottom of the building, and east to west runs from left to right. |
In other words, you have the damn picture upside down. North should be on top and south on the bottom. East should be on the left and west on the right. You’ve got it backwards. If you’d just have turned that picture upside down it would have made a lot more sense. |
I know you have to have it catty-corner to show everything, but you could've at least had north at the top. |
First of all, “OG” stands for Original Gangster. At least that’s what people in law enforcement who classify validated gang members tell me. Mr. Howard appears to be less than truthful, but no surprise there. |
Admitting to assaulting a skater is pretty funny, but I find it hard to believe that he couldn't recognize the sound of a fast-approaching skateboard after a life on the streets. |
My main problem with this article is the glorification of Crips. Perhaps a follow-up article on the devastation their criminal activities have wreaked on their own neighborhoods would be appropriate. I’ve seen the dead bodies they’ve littered the streets with. I’ve seen the underage prostitutes they sell being forced t... |
There is no good reason to waste paper on these examples of negative racial stereotypes. Crip stands for Cowards Run In Packs. I know this to be true because they have never followed through on their efforts to kill me when faced with a fair fight. |
I'm not a gang member. I despise gangs and their pathetic attempts at self-justification. |
Good job on retiring, Mr. Howard. It’s a shame the victims you've profited from don't get to enjoy that luxury. In the interest of loving my enemies, God bless all you Crips out there, I hope you all retire and learn how to work for a living like Mr. Howard. |
On a slightly less infuriating note, please don’t repeat News of the Weird stories. I look forward to that mindless drivel and I feel betrayed by this week’s old news. |
P.S. If you do happen to publish my name out of spite, allow me to invite JB and Shaggy (West Coast Crips) to a fair fight for once. |
I'm writing in response to Richard Robertson of Navajo and his letter to the editor regarding bike lanes downtown. Interesting how outside parties like to dictate what should be done in areas they don't reside in. Where is Navajo? |
His statement on Faulconer is false, as the mayor does only bare minimums — not solutions to fix problems. For example, he simply installed wrong-way signs after that wrong-way meth driver ran over a bunch of cyclists last year on Fiesta Island, rather than build a dedicated paved bike lane next to the road. Faulconer ... |
As for Gloria, he sold out that the uptown bike plan will be chopped up rather than fully connected. |
Now, onto the cars downtown. If you buy a dishwasher, should the city be required to build you a kitchen? This applies the same with parking. |
In reality, a car is a thing of luxury. American society wants to deceive us that a car is a necessity, the real American Dream, which is to have one at all costs, even if it puts you into great debt. This car would prioritize you over someone else using alternate transport to go to the front of a store. |
There's not enough space for all of the cars. As the population grows, the amount of space stays the same. Who should get priority for that parking spot in front of the store? If vehicular mobility will prioritize alternative transport, the city should be able to monetize those deep pockets. Downtown mobility is bigger... |
A car takes up space. Four bicycles, motorcycles, or Segways can occupy the same area, with 100% occupancy. |
To truly understand the situation of infrastructure here in San Diego, I suggest everyone read the book, Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us), available for free at the library. |
This is regarding my letter you titled “Maybe You Should Read the Original Article.” I still haven’t read the original article about the toilet-to-tap danger. They have back issues at the public library, but public libraries kind of smell. And when they have Wi-Fi, there are more interesting websites than SDReader.com.... |
I still think the city’s toilet-to-tap program is unacceptable. I do care about conserving water, but droughts come and go, and this has been the rainiest year since 2008 or 2009. |
I did call the city’s drinking water department and a water-quality laboratory, but I couldn’t get a straight answer as to when the recycled water started coming out of my sink and if it will ever stop. |
Also, egregious is the word I was looking for in my last letter. I think this program is criminal egregious. It’s basically assault with sewage water, and it’s when I stopped being an environmentalist. |
If the term “smart beta” gets you scratching your head, don’t worry, you’re not alone. But chances are, you have heard about it, at least once in the past year. For many HR professionals that have been thrust into the role of plan sponsor, managing the company retirement plan can be a daunting task. It can be like lear... |
So, why should you worry about what investments are in the company 401k or 403b plan? Technically, it is your responsibility, even though you may have an advisor and a company that manages your plan investments. But mostly it will help you communicate with your staff and understand the inner-workings of the plan being ... |
You don’t need to be an expert, but with a little plain English explanation, you can do your job with more confidence at the next investment committee meeting…or even impress a few friends at your next dinner party. |
So what is “Smart Beta” anyway? |
Smart beta refers to an investment strategy that has both “Passive and “active management” elements. The “active part” refers to the idea that Smart Beta Strategies seek to outperform an index or benchmark, like the S&P 500 Index (as opposed to just buying a fund that mirrors the S&P 500). |
The passive side of “Smart Beta” is based on the idea that the investment strategy is pre-determined, using transparent and well-documented strategies to make investment selections. An example would be buying lower-priced company stocks for a certain industry based on a cyclical pattern. An example would be to buy the ... |
According to Sara Shores at Blackrock, “Smart Beta strategies try to target those ideas that are: value-creating, well understood, persistent and diversifying over time. |
Since the strategy of Smart Beta plans is pre-determined, Smart Beta plans will generally carry lower fees and aim to deliver the returns of an actively-managed strategy. |

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the first proclamation that declared November as National American Indian Heritage Month, to recognize and learn about the history and contributions of American Indians and Alaska Natives in education, art, literature, government, sports, science and technology past and presen... |
Presidents since then have continued the proclamation yearly. Arkansas was one of the few states that failed to recognize the importance of the American Indian and selected not to join the month-long recognition, even though the state receives its own name from the Quapaw. American Indians in Arkansas remained the most... |
Then, in 2006, Governor Huckabee aligned Arkansas with the rest of the nation when he also proclaimed November as Arkansas American Indian Heritage Month. This commendable action gave recognition to all American Indians living, working, or seeking a higher education within the State. |
Now, in 2007, Governor Beebe has rejected the American Indians living in the state by refusing to make a similar proclamation for this November, turning back the clock. A spokeswoman for the governor claims that this rejection is because Arkansas already has an American Indian Heritage Week in the state codes. However,... |
The state's rejection of American Indians has adversely affected the ability for Arkansas organizations to collaborate and network with other organizations nationwide in developing programs and assisting one another in developing programs that can be shared throughout the month of November to recognize Native American ... |
With oil topping $92 per barrel, now is a good time to remind everyone about technology already developed we can use TODAY to decrease our oil usage/dependency and help the environment: electric cars, or plug-in hybrids.

Don't believe the lie that plug-in cars will create more pollution by using energy off our current electric grid. This is calculated misinformation. When asked to show proof, automakers can't do so. Lastly, beware of auto industries, corn and soybean lobbies who are pouring money into flex-fuel or hydrogen cell promoti... |
Legalizing lottery in order to finance a better education for the people — what a joke! The lust of gambling (something for nothing) takes over where there should be the principle of earning and learning. |
What kind of future is that? Surely our civilization has reached a higher degree of thought than should be determined by games of chance. |
Gambling in Arkansas: As long as I recall at 69 years old, Oaklawn horse racing in Hot Springs has been there. Is it not true that betting on horse racing is gambling? Why do the so-called Christians wet their britches regarding the lottery and bingo? It does not make sense. |
A song I learned in church growing up in Arkansas said Jesus loves all the children of the world. So why did the Central High crisis happen if the Christians truly believed what they said they believed. Think about it. |

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and Dubai Land Department (DLD) have confirmed that the UAE’s recently introduced VAT will have a limited impact on the real estate sector. |
They said that all real estate transactions, with the exception of the sale of vacant commercial properties and commercial property leases, will be either not subject to or exempt from the 5 percent VAT. |
They calculated that 85 percent of components in Dubai’s total real estate sector are not subject to the 5 percent VAT. |
Khalid Ali Al Bustani, director general of the FTA, stressed that the UAE tax system has been designed to support the real estate sector in all its activities. |
Sultan Butti bin Mejren, director general of DLD, added: “85 percent of components in Dubai’s total real estate sector are not subject to the 5 percent VAT. When reviewing the details of sales, rents and other transactions, we found that the value of bare land sales, residential properties, and occupied commercial and ... |
