| 'Wife Swap' topic of conversation
A Springboro family made the decision to join hundreds of other people who have created acting careers by taking part in Hollywood's reality games.
This time two mothers travel 800 miles to take over the female lead in another family for a short time.

Right off the bat, the television story explains the father from Springboro, Tim Hamilton does most of the work in the house, allowing his wife and daughter to be pampered; while the mother, Anita Lowe living in the mountains of Pennsylvania, does everything for her family and her pampered husband. The Springboro family plays with rhinestones and feather boas.

Nevada woman leaves legacy in history
Editor's note: In honor of Women's History Month, the Nevada Appeal will run a biography, provided by the State Library and Archives, each day this month featuring a woman who made a difference in Nevada.
The first, Jean Ford, began the Women's History Project, which is hosting a display this month in the Joseph Anderson Art Gallery at the Nevada State Library and Archives.
For more information on the project, see today's entertainment section on page C1.
Look for more bios daily on page C2 of the Appeal.
Jean Ford was a wife, mother and homemaker when she arrived in Nevada without fanfare in 1962.

Vilar Center Brings Metropolitan Culture to the Mountains
Never thought you'd come to Beaver Creek and see a grown woman leap up on stage to pay homage to an Elvis impersonator? We've seen it at the Vilar Center for the Arts. Culture enthusiasts are in luck when they visit the Vail Valley. Unlike most ski towns across the world, Beaver Creek has its own performing arts center, offering national and international entertainment from stand-up comedy to opera. Tribute artists, of course, also live somewhere in that mix. Founded nine years ago, the Vilar Center is located in Beaver Creek village, just a few minutes' walk from the ski lifts. The venue seats 530 patrons and is managed by the Vail Valley Foundation, a nonprofit that brings all sorts of big sporting events and performances to the valley and provides financing for other nonprofits and people in need.

How WWF became WWE: It's a wild story
You've been hearing a lot about World Wrestling Entertainment lately, in anticipation of WrestleMania 23 on April 1 at Ford Field. But didn't the company used to be called the World Wrestling Federation? Indeed it did. But in 2002 the WWF changed its name to WWE, after the World Wildlife Fund -- also known as the WWF -- sued the sports entertainment company for unfair trade practices relating to the company's merchandising efforts. Both companies had shared the same initials for several decades, but the World Wildlife Fund -- which is now known as the World Wide Fund for Nature -- claimed the wrestling WWF violated an international agreementover the international use of the WWF initials. Hence the WWE's forced name change. The switch to WWE was not an altogether smooth one.
How to live with a big flat screen
Technology changes everything. Think about it. Before we had cars, there was no such thing as a drive-through window. Before electricity, there were no electric blankets. How did we get by? The examples are endless. One current technology that is changing our way of life is the ever-popular flat screen television. Now I am not going to write about whether LCD or plasma are better, or how many DPI's one should have. Rather, I'm going to write about how you're supposed to design and decorate around these large, flat, typically dark panels. Flat screens have changed the way rooms are designed, built and furnished. No longer do you need a large entertainment center that is almost three feet deep and takes up precious room space. But if hanging a monitor on your wall makes you feel like you're at Terminal 1 at Chicago's O'Hare airport (my hometown airport), then read on.
