Years ago, a French friend of mine introduced me to Croque-Monsieur, the French version of a toasted ham and Swiss sandwich. I remember it being loaded with butter and cheese, and absolutely the most delicious sandwich in the world. My friend was somewhat addicted to these sandwiches, and after having one myself I could see why. Gruyère cheese and ham just belong together. According to About.com the word croque comes from the verb croquer or "to crunch". So a Croque-Monsieur roughly translates to "Mister Crunchy". The feminine version, a "Croque Madam", includes a fried egg on top. This classic French bistro sandwich is a great way to use up leftover ham.

Carmen Electra is "very shy" ("I truly am"), but she's conquered timidity. She sang and danced with Prince, starred on MTV and in "Baywatch," posed in Playboy five times, helped launch the Pussycat Dolls and acted in "Scary Movie."
Wanna-be celebrities may envy the niche she's carved. In Las Vegas, Electra has banked $100,000 appearance fees merely for walking into nightclubs and twinkling for stargazers.
But even as Carmen Electra has revealed herself so physically over the years, she reveals to me something she's never detailed so publicly:
"You know, I had a couple of years of being homeless in Hollywood," Electra tells me. "A lot of people don't even know this."
She was in her early 20s back then. Her life was a whirl. She had grown up as a ballerina in conservative Cincinnati, cut an album for Prince, toured with him, and danced at his Glam Slam club in Los Angeles.
But the Prince gig ended. A boyfriend stole her slim savings. All of that led to this:
"I remember sitting on a park bench in the valley," she says. "I was crying because I was stranded. It was over 100 degrees outside.
"I was sitting there with a pocketknife and a pager and some change in my pocket, and a really nice pair of high heels," she says and laughs. "Versace heels, because I had a few pieces of my amazing clothes I'd gotten along the way.
"And big hair, of course. I had teased hair and lashes on, because I had my little makeup case.
"I remember crying and watching cars drive by and thinking, 'I would do anything just to be able to get from here to there -- to get down the block!' I was, like, 'I can't walk anymore.'"
Plenty of stars have survived homeless youths. Halle Berry lived in a shelter at age 21, because her mom wouldn't support her. But how is it possible Electra went broke so fast after striking initial success?
For one thing, she had paid off debt she accrued to record her first solo album. (This August, she finally releases a second album, of electronic dance songs, for Sony.)
She didn't manage her money well back then. She didn't even have a bank account.
And oh, by the way, she was sore.
"I still have injuries that I have to deal with from my ballet years."
Her neck hurt. Her knees hurt. While working for Prince, she had "thrashed" her body around for the Glam Slam club's show, "Erotic City," choreographed by Jamie King.
"For me, it was a spiritual experience, a very passionate time," she says. "I put my heart and soul into the dancing. And with Jamie's choreography, you give it 150 percent. ... We all walked away limping a little bit from that show," she says. "But it was worth it."
Anyway, after Prince and Glam Slam and sore knees, there she was in the street.









Jonathan Skaggs, a former Trumann police officer who recommended Schmidt for the job, said his friend left a higher paying job at a steel mill in 2007 to join the police force in the city where he was raised.
"He said he just wanted to do his part to give back to Trumann," Skaggs said.
Schmidt worked as a night patrolman so he could spend days with his three children - one of whom is just a baby, Skaggs said.

Research results from cardiiovascular physicians encourages people who are overweight to exercise no more than one hour per day for four times per week. During their workout session to include a cardio exercise for no more thann 20 minutes and to be at least for 10 minutes.
The weight loss should be focused upon outside the boundries of exercising. Thus, controlled by a conscious food and vitamins.
One low impact cardio exercise burn as much calories as hard impact exercise without the risk of either immediate injuries , and long term effects on the joints.
Proper daily calories intake from a good source rich with protein and fiber can replace the long swet run or walk on that tradmill machine.
The World Health Orgsnisation(WHO)top priority in preventing heart attach, heart diseas, and the risk of heart diseases:
From top to bottom.
1-Food
2-exercise
3-daily vitamins
4-No stress
5-no smoking
6-adequate amount of rest(SLEEPING)
Due to the sesibility of the workout(cardiovascular)many people are nervouse with the name, when faced with the recommendatiion at first. It appear if someone was told the word cardiovascular is that if someone had died or something to do with the heart itself.
Yes, part of the cardiovascular exercises deal with the heart, ofcourse and the heart rate. Cardiovascular exercise when recommended by a phisician, nutritionist, and an exercise counselor. It is for the benefit of the entire body, focusing on the ""arterires""first and then the weight loss progam.
On a short note one should always focuse on the arteries of the cardiovascular system. In many heart magazines, articles posted on wesites by sport medicine organizations, and books written by heart doctors, all are focusing on the coronary arteries and the negative deposits on it which either caused a heart failure, or threaten to cause a heart attack as an alert signal from the foul deposits in it. The arteries can be damaged easily in many cases with young adults who do understand the proper way to do cardio exercises and are not serious about making food their top priority when dealing with their own body. Thus proper cardiovascular exercise help prevent such threats leading to a heart failure.
