Oregon-based company Pendleton is known for its colorful, quality woolen blankets. While the company expanded into suiting, women's wear, and other home products since it first formed in the late 1800s, the core of the business is still its blankets. Lately, I've seen Pendleton's designs adorning the hipster set in places as diverse as skate shoes and Urban Outfitters towels. It's about time we take another look at the company, don't you think? Let's explore some of the designs Pendleton has produced, as well as ways these designs have been incorporated into decorating schemes.
Coveted Crib: The Miner's Refuge
The Methow Valley, located in Washington's North Cascades mountain range, is an absolutely beautiful part of the state. It's an unforgiving place as well, and any home located in this area is susceptible to everything from dramatic temperature swings to forest fires and snowstorms. Johnston Architecture took these harsh conditions into consideration when designing The Miner's Refuge, a weekend home for two families.
The home is sited at the base of a hill and nestled amongst tall trees, which preserve the dramatic views while protecting the house from harsh weather.For a look at the home's interior, read more

How to Add a Modern Touch to Southwestern Textiles
Think that Southwestern decor is passé? Like most design trends, it's definitely been overdone, especially in the 1990s. That doesn't mean you should abandon the look all together. Take a tour of my slideshow for ideas for decorating thoughtfully with Southwestern-inspired textiles.
Tour of Hotel Matilda, Plus Exclusive Interview With Ray Booth
Earlier this month, I alerted you to the upcoming opening of Hotel Matilda in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Named for the subject of a famous 1940s portrait of Matilda Stream by revered Mexican artist Diego Rivera (the original painting is in the hotel owner's private collection while an image hangs in Hotel Matilda), this boutique hotel is filled with gorgeous art from Latin and Mexican artists.
Hotel Matilda is officially open for business this Friday, and is offering special opening hotel rates through the end of 2010 starting at $195 a night. With features including an onsite 4,700-square-foot spa, an infinity pool, an artisanal-spirit stocked bar, a seasonal-menu-themed restaurant, and of course, all of that gorgeous artwork, I'm trying to rearrange my schedule to figure out when I can jet down to San Miguel de Allende for a stay before the new year.
Want to take a mini tour of this cool new hotel? I've got plenty of photos to share. And luckily, Ray Booth, one of the partners from the firm of McAlpine, Booth, & Ferrier, the force behind the hotel's design, was kind enough to share the lowdown on its design and artwork.
Exclusive Interview With Haus Interior's Nina Freudenberger
Nina Freudenberger is a force to be reckoned with. Not only does she own the lovely store Haus Interior, located in New York's Nolita neighborhood, but she also operates a full-service interior design firm of the same name. Oh, and did I mention that she holds an architecture degree from RISD? And that she maintains the home decor site The Cultivated Home? Luckily, the lovely Ms. Freudenberger made some time in her very full life to answer my questions about her shop, sense of style, and ideas about home design. Check out the interview!
Fall 2010 Trend Report: Red Velvet
From Left: Alexander Wang, Zac Posen, and Ralph Lauren fall 2010
Velvet—especially red and oxblood colored—was all over the New York runways for fall 2010. Alexander Wang draped the deep red fabric into asymmetric mini dresses with black lace detailing, Zac Posen used vampy reds for pleated bustier dresses and seventies style trouser suits, and Ralph Lauren kept it classic with velvet mutton sleeved tunics and floor-length evening gowns.

Fall 2010 Trend Report: Fur Details
From left: Michael Kors, Chanel, and Thakoon Fall 2010
Some of the most memorable looks to hit the international runways this month were detailed in all kinds and colors of fur—a white mongolian lamb cuff here, an orange-splashed fox fur miniskirt there—and of our favorite handbags and shoes of the season followed suit. Think Michael Kors' soft cross-body satchels, Karl Lagerfeld's Nanook of the North boots and matching chain-strap handbag for Chanel, and Thakoon's fur-trimmed open-toe booties. Click below for a gallery of some of the most luxurious finishing details for fall 2010.
Pre-Fall 2010 Trend: Animal Prints Galore
Leopard spots, snakeskin, and tiger stripes—designers took a walk on the wild side for pre-fall 2010. Animal prints showed up on bags, boots, scarves, and gloves (at Dolce & Gabbana and Emilio Pucci); metallic and sequined skinny trousers, one-shoulder dresses, and jumpsuits (at Stella McCartney); and head-to-toe looks (at Lanvin). Whether it's an accent accessory or a full-on statement, we're guessing spots will be a continued theme for fall 2010.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-- Those who do business in South Point Plaza say the city has left them in the dark, shutting down multiple streetlights around their parking lots in an effort to save $300,000 in taxpayer funds.
"Is saving money worth the safety of the citizens?" asked Charles Bellinghausen, who works for PSS World Medical at South Point. "I think that right there would sum it up."
Local real estate experts agree. NAIOP, The Commercial Real Estate Development Association of Northeast Florida, says shutting off more than 2,000 lights throughout Jacksonville was far from a bright idea when it comes to growing the city's economy.
'With a company looking at Jacksonville and other cities if they're looking at Jacksonville and they notice our streetlights are out what does that say about our city?" said Traci Jenks, chapter president of NAIOP.
She says turning off thousands of streetlights sends a message to companies that Jacksonville doesn't care about public safety, preventing much needed jobs from coming to our area.
The organization wrote a letter to Mayor Alvin Brown, hoping he'll see the light.
"It basically asked him to turn the streetlights back on," said Jenks.
The organization says they understand the need to save, but not when the long-run cost is this high.
"This is one of these things that it's being penny-wise and pound foolish. I mean you really need to turn these streetlights on or you're going to lose a lot more money in tax revenue from businesses that leave," said Jenks.
Action News reached out to representatives for the mayor and got no response. NAIOP says it is expecting to hear back from the mayor on Friday.

Team 17: Microsoft bribery claims are "bollocks"
Team 17 boss Martyn Brown has said that claims of bribery from Microsoft over the timed exclusivity of Alien Breed: Evolution for Xbox Live Arcade, are "bollocks", although understands there are PS3 owners who are pissed at the exclusivity deal.
"I understand that. It's difficult. Obviously we'd like everything on every platform day one. The LIVE Arcade thing… we get accused of being bribed or we've took Microsoft's money, and it's all bollocks," Brown told Videogamer .
"The reason is that we've got a long relationship with Microsoft's first party unit. We get on great with them. In exchange for exclusivity we get a lot more promotion. We've got a closer deal with them. That's just how it is. It's unfortunate. That's just how we work."
The Team 17 boss further went on to cite PSN games, Super Stardust HD and PAIN, as examples of games 360 owners cant get their hands on due to exclusivity.
"They've [Sony] got their own exclusives. You look at Super Stardust, which is exclusive to PS3. It works the other way round. For people complaining, at the same time, people on LIVE Arcade can't play Super Stardust or PAIN or a bunch of titles. It's just the way the world works really."
The game's out on Xbox Live Arcade sometime this Fall with a PSN and PC release sometime later.

Alien Breed Evolution to debut on XBLA because of faith shown by Microsoft, says Team 17′s Brown
In a video interview with VG247 last week, Team 17 boss Martyn Brown said that Alien Breed Evolution will release on Xbox Live Arcade first due to the faith Microsoft showed in the developer from an early stage.
"I think XBLA still leads PS3 in terms of user base and probably the amount of people buying the thing," he told us when we asked why Team 17 chose 360 as the lead platform for release.
"Plus we have a relationship with Microsoft that's pretty close – a first party publishing relationship," he said.
"They showed a lot of faith in us early doors and that's kind of kept going really. I think they've got the same kind of games on there: it's the same kind of audience really.
"I'm not suggesting the PS3 is any less than that, but we just feel that's the market for the game.
"It will come to PS3 and it will come to PC as well, but intially it'll be Live Arcade," concluded Brown.

Vid interview – Alien Breed to appeal to Gears and Halo fans, says Team 17′s Brown
Team 17 boss Martyn Brown's told VG247 that downloadable actioner Alien Breed Evolution should appeal to Xbox 360 fans' traditional loves in Halo and Gears of War.
The UK studio manager said the title, the first of a trilogy that's cost $2.5 million to develop so far, could replicate the company's significant online console success with Worms.
"It's a very different game," he said. "What Worms has allowed us to do is make Evolution in the first place. To be able to do that and remind people where we're from has been a fantastic opportunity.
"I'd like to think it's going to appeal to the Gears of War crowd, the Halo crowd, and all the rest of it.
"It's a very casual, pick-up-and-play title, but it's shit-hot, really."
Brown said the game was a significant venture for the developer.
"It's a big risk for us. We've piled a lot of cash into it, but we've made a game that we believe in [for the] first time in a few years."
There's a seven-minute video interview with Martyn after the break, shot at Develop in Brighton yesterday. You can see first footage of the game – the first part of which releases later this year as a timed 360 exclusive before heading to PS3 and PC – here.

Team17 boss Martyn Brown's playing here. The game's out later this year, on XBLA first, with a PSN version to follow.

Alien Breed trilogy: PS3 version coming later
Team 17′s Martyn Brown has told VG247 that the Alien Breed trilogy will be released on PS3, but for now it's a timed Xbox 360 exclusive.
The first episode will have five levels, each at an hour long. There's another three hours of co-op, which is separate content.
More on our interview with Martyn is on the way, via a video interview.

Worms PSN – Holy Hand Grenade confirmed
Team17 studio boss Martyn Brown's confirmed to VG247 that the PSN Worms version coming later this year includes the holy hand grenade.
"We can confirm, before we're besieged, that Worms PSN does have the Holy Hand Grenade," said Brown.
The PS3 version's essentially a bumped out take on the current XBLA title.
"Worms PSN is… a larger, honed edition of the very successful XBLA game," Brown added.
"It has additional weapons, features, more levels, more audio (no size limitations) options, runs in 1080p and plays very sweetly.
"We hope that will be out there sooner rather than later and will support soon with videos and full detail."
There's no date on the PS3 title as yet.

Team 17 boss cautious of DSi SD feature
Speaking to GI, Team 17 head Martyn Brown's welcomed the ability to slot and SD card into the newly announced DSi, but has warned the feature may bring more widespread piracy to the platform.
"Adding an SD slot makes a bunch of sense for downloadable content given the way things are going," he said.
"I just hope they've done something to counter the mass piracy that exists via the R4 on the Lite. It scares me that with an SD card input, that might leave it even wider open that it was on the original device.

Feeding the world's growing population will not be an easy task.
Indoor vegetable gardens aren't just for city dwellers! Growing edibles indoors gives you year-round access to seasonal favorites and cuts down on food waste.
Cleaning your garden tools regularly after use is ideal, but at the least they should be cleaned before putting them away for winter. Clean tools work more effectively, so they are easier to use and last longer.
Composting turns household wastes into valuable fertilizer and soil organic matter.
Removing soil from outdoor pots and cleaning them, raking up leaves from under rose bushes and wrapping newly planted trees are some of the gardening activities for this month, and Leonard Perry has some tips for you!

Grilled Romaine with Blue Cheese-Bacon Vinaigrette
Have you ever grilled romaine lettuce? I hadn't until about a month ago; the thought had never even crossed my mind. I saw the idea on an episode of Mad Hungry and was immediately intrigued. The recipe that was made on the show was for a grilled Caesar salad, which I wound up making a few weeks later and absolutely loved - highly recommended. (It never made the blog, mainly because I've found it nearly impossible to photograph a head of romaine lettuce in a pleasing way. I'm sure it's possible, but the skill eludes me...) Anyway, when my issue of Food Network magazine arrived this month I was pretty psyched to see another grilled romaine recipe highlighted. Even better, it featured three of my favorite things - bacon, red onion and balsamic vinegar. It's quick, simple and really delicious! As I mentioned the other day, I'm not a blue cheese fan, so I subbed goat cheese but use whatever works for you.
With Memorial Day weekend just around the corner, and the unofficial start of grilling season as well, I think this salad would be a welcome and unique addition to any cookout. I don't see any reason you couldn't prep the onions and bacon ahead of time then just throw the lettuce on the grill along with the burger, dogs or whatever else is on your menu.
Grilled Romaine with Blue Cheese-Bacon Vinaigrette
adapted from Food Network Magazine, June 2011
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 pound bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 heads romaine lettuce, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (I used goat cheese instead)
Preheat grill to medium-high (you could also use an indoor grill pan).
In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Add the onion and cook until softened, stirring occasionally. Remove to the plate along with the bacon. Add the balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet and cook to reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
Brush the lettuce with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill cut-side down for about 2 minutes, or until grill marks are visible or the lettuce is slightly charred.
Place the lettuce cut-side up on a large plate (or platter). Drizzle with the reduced balsamic vinegar then sprinkle with the cheese, bacon and onion, and garnish with freshly cracked black pepper.

I feel like this could be great with some pine nuts (not that I don't think it sounds great already). But I may just be on a pine nut kick these days.

Mmm! Looks delicious! I grilled romaine a few weeks ago and then made up a warm Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette. Added a few walnuts, goat cheese and fresh strawberries...it was amazing!

I was grilling some corn last night and thought, "I should try grilled romaine. It always sounds so good." but I chickened out because I wasn't quite sure how to do it and envisioned myself holding a flaming romaine ball at the end of my grilling tongs. If we get another head of romaine in our CSA basket this week, I think I'm finally going to try this! Thanks for your bravery. :)

I am another who has never grilled romaine on the bbq. Come to think of it I've really only done meat or corn. I really need to broaden my horizons and this looks like an excellent place to start. I'd love to see your Caesar version too, even if it doesn't photograph well as I am sure it is delicious too.

Funny you should post this....I had never heard of grilled romaine until I just had it last night. It was amazing!! A good friend had a few of us girls over for a grilled romaine chopped ceasar salad with sun dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, homemade polenta squares & a ceasar dressing. It was so good.
She also served tomato basil soup and topped the salad with a baked breaded chicken breast. Dessert was a lemon creme brulee topped with raspberries. Oh soooo good.
I've been thinking I'd blog about it. She pampered us so!

I would not taste anything that contains blue cheese- I really detest it. However I thing it's a good idea if you put another cheese instead. I see many others have already done that so I'm gonna give it a tray.

Stan from Fort Worth, TX | 11/24/2013 12:03 PM
I have played five rounds since purchasing these clubs and I am amazed at how much distance and control I have achieved. I'm not the only one that has noticed either. My golf buddies have commented on the added distance and my improved shot making ability.
Nick from Illinois, IL | 8/29/2013 12:53 AM
Bought these clubs because i needed an upgrade off my maxflis. They were cheap and in stock for my fitting. My first match on my high school team i shot a 40 (which is a new low for me). These clubs added 25-50 yards easy on all of my hits. Never has it stung or hurt when i swung these no matter where you hit it. 10/10 amazing clubs
Chris from Aurora, CO | 8/16/2013 12:34 PM
Purchased a set to stay with the times. My old set was tried and true. These are far and above expectations. Old set 6 iron was good to 180 all day. These have added 25-35 yds more and control that its unbelievable. Great distance, playability, and forgiving. Highly recommend. .
mike Garcia from Gilroy, CA | 8/6/2013 8:51 AM
I have only played a few rounds with TaylorMade Men's RocketBallz HP Irons. I am very happy with my purchase. I like the weight of the club and set up to the ball, you always feel square to make solid contact.I like the feel and how the golf balls jumps off the club when you hit flush. the most surprising results is the distance, I picked up 5-10 yards, thats incrediable, sometimes I just don't believe the results myself. You cant' go wrong with these clubs. amazing!

The battle for the White House has ventured onto the airwaves, into mailboxes, across the internet -- and now the bitter contest will hit the asphalt.
On the same day Mitt Romney launches his five-day bus tour in New Hampshire Friday, the Democratic National Committee will kick off a bus tour of its own in the Granite State.
Starting in Exeter, New Hampshire -- less than five miles from Romney's launch point in Stratham -- the bus will travel west along a similar path to that of Romney's six-state itinerary, according to DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse.
With the goal of pointing to Romney's economic policies, which they argue "throw Middle Class Americans under the bus," the tour will include at least ten stops -- with most arrivals timed slightly ahead of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
Both buses are scheduled to travel through New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan -- all likely battleground states this fall. A number of potential GOP running mates are also slated to appear with Romney.
The DNC, however, isn't the only group chasing the Romney bus.
MoveOn.org, a liberal advocacy group, will trail the Romney camp in a Cadillac with what it described as NASCAR-style decals and a dog on top -- a nod to a widely-cited story involving Romney driving his family car with his dog locked in a crate on the roof of his car.
CNN's Jim Acosta and Ashley Killough contributed to this report.

Cluster swap question
I have an 03 burb. Will the cluster from a 2001 1500 directly swap? My 03 has a bad speedo. Happen to have an extra cluster from an 01.
07-15-2010, 02:27 PM #3I think the clusters changed. If they look the same they should work, but I'm not 100% sure.

Communication skills--the ability to synthesize and transmit ideas both in writing and orally--is likely to be the top employee development priority for the immediate future, according to a survey of more than 2,000 senior managers and executives by the American Management Association (AMA).
Effective communication edges out critical thinking, collaboration/teambuilding, and creativity and innovation as competencies increasingly essential in a fast-paced, competitive economy. The study assumes employees have entry-level proficiency in the three Rs of reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Here are the responses to the survey question: The following skills have been articulated within my organization as priorities for employee development, talent management, and succession planning in the next one to three years:
Communication Skills
Agree/Strongly Agree: 79%
Neutral: 13%
Disagree/Strongly Disagree: 7%
Critical Thinking
Agree/Strongly Agree: 73%
Neutral: 17%
Disagree/Strongly Disagree: 9%
Agree/Strongly Agree: 72%
Neutral: 19%
Disagree/Strongly Disagree: 9%
Creativity and Innovation
Agree/Strongly Agree: 66%
Neutral: 23%
Disagree/Strongly Disagree: 10%
The study also examined the importance of the "four Cs" for annual performance reviews and hiring. Communications skills again ranked first among the competencies assessed on a yearly basis. Likewise, during the hiring process, more organizations make an effort to assess communication abilities than any other competencies.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – No, it's not you. The weather in Westchester County actually has, in fact, been hotter this year.
The state, and the country as a whole, is at least two degrees hotter this year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center (NOAA).
NOAA's monthly "State of the Climate" reports that the average temperature in June across the country was 71.2, which contributed to the warmest 12-month period the country has experienced since data started being collected in 1895. States in the northeast corridor from Maryland to Maine all experienced the hottest year on record, as did much of the Midwest and Texas.
While New York State broke no heat records in June (NOAA graded temperatures for the month as normal with above average precipitation), 173 places around the country tied or broke previous marks. The highest was a record 118 in Norton, Kan., on June 28, days after a record 113 was notched on June 25.
The heat waves that swept through Westchester County and much of the northeast this past month sent temperatures soaring in the mid-to-high-90s, and reportedly often felt like it was more than 100 degrees due to the heat index.

I still struggle to find reason or logic in decisions by the Norristown Area School District Board.The board voted to spend $3.4 million to add nine classrooms to the high school that serves 30 less students than in 2008.You could purchase 12 new homes for that amount of money.
Meanwhile, migration and immigration have brought 424 more K-4 students into Norristown since 2008 and the board has taken no action to expand or develop community schools that will efficiently serve that 16 percent explosion of K-4 population.The Roosevelt Alternative School � which currently only serves 125 students � is prime for conversion to K-4 education.
Other options include acquisition of the Army Reserve Center on Sandy Road.How many classrooms could have been added to Marshall Street at a price of $3.4 million?
Why doesn�t this district and its Norristown-elected board start thinking forward?

Feminine Eclectic Traditional/Vintage Eclectic Southern Belles
So I'm not sure why I didn't think of this sooner but I tell my girls they are my sweet southern belles even when I was expecting them. So I guess I'm looking for more southern belle names. Southern Belle isn't the best description maybe Feminine Eclectic Traditional? Also I think I'm having issues keeping them Vintage Eclectic - Lilla and Vivienne are both vintage names but are still very different from one another I don't want any other names to match each other or one of our current girl's names. Suggestions are welcome.

I chose Scarlett because I think it is the most different from your other two girls' names.
Mom to Alexander Patrick (9), Madelyn Esther (7), and Genevieve Susan (2). Expecting Theodore James in February 2014!
Baby #4 will be the last for us, so I am kind of sad to be saying goodbye to the beloved names I will now never use! At least I can still come here to encourage others to use them!

Scarlett is defiantly my favorite. I used to think that Eliza and Lilla(Lil-la not Li-la) were to similar but DH really likes it and he pointed out that Lilla has 2 syllables where Eliza has 3 and Lilla ends on the la sound where Eliza ends on the uh sound, so we are considering it. Caroline is a name my family likes, DH and I don't dislike it.

A sibling for Emmeline and Felicity!
Hey all, I found out recently that my friend is having her third - due in February. She already has Emmeline (Emma-lynn) Marie and Felicity Elizabeth. She didn't name either girl until she was in the hospital with a baby in her arms, but still loved constantly talking about names and getting suggestions (she is a berry as well, but doesn't come on too often anymore). Obviously she doesn't know if baby3 is a boy or girl yet - so any suggestions of good sibling names for either gender to go with Emmeline and Felicity?

The subprime mess hasn't spared Baltimore, but local banks have (mostly) limited their exposure.
Hey, it could be worse. Sure, home sales are down, foreclosures are up, and some homebuilders are starting to default on loans. As the third quarter wrapped up in October, it was clear that national financial institutions had lost billions—$7.9 billion for Merrill Lynch and $1.2 billion for Countrywide Financial, for example—thanks mostly to subprime loans. Locally, 1st Mariner Bancorp, a...

Is Mt. Vernon the new Miami?
Baltimore makes national media lists all the time—for both good and bad reasons—but the October issue of Money magazine included, we believe, a first. That issue named the 35 best retirement neighborhoods in the U.S. for 2007, and low and behold, at No. 26, was our own Mt.

Double Take
The rise of faux painting gives a deceptive new look to moldings, ceilings, and furniture.
Anyone who's ever watched an interior design program on TV has heard of faux finishing. You know, that sponge-painted wall that's supposed to transform your kitchen into a Tuscan villa. Except that, even after studying the do-it-yourself book you picked up at the Home Depot, most of us will end up with something that more closely resembles dirty cinderblock than weathered stucco. That's why...

Washington family we'll call The Smiths. The tales told and recounted by neighbors (who almost all requested anonymity) are many, and include harassing calls to the police (to report neighbors as burglars when they were...

This month, the residents and business owners of Talbot County's tiny, tony St. Michaels may be seeing a bit more of one of their more important part-time residents—former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

N.C. State's new football coach, Dave Doeren, filled one of the most important positions on his staff with his first hire Friday.
The school announced former Southern Cal defensive lineman Ryan Nielsen has been hired to coach that position and to serve as recruiting coordinator.
Nielsen, who was an All-PAC 10 Conference selection at USC, spent last season working for Doeren as co-defensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach at Northern Illinois.
"Ryan is one of the best technicians on the defensive line that I've ever been around," Doeren said. "He played the game at a very high level and learned to coach from a number of great defensive minds. He has great energy and passion for his players and is a tireless and energetic recruiter."
Nielsen spent the last two seasons at Northern Illinois. His other coaching stops included a year as special teams and defensive line coach at Tennessee Martin, two seasons as defensive coordinator at Central Connecticut State and three years as a defensive line coach at Mississippi.
"I am very thankful to be joining the Wolfpack football family," Nielsen said. "I am looking forward to building on the football tradition here at NC State and want to thank Dr. [Debbie] Yow and Coach Doeren for the opportunity of a lifetime to join this staff. Having worked with Coach Doeren in the past, I'm honored and humbled to join him here at State. I can't wait to begin working."
Nielsen, 33, is a 2002 graduate of Southern Cal. He was an all-conference performer as a sophomore, tallying 39 tackles, and played while Doeren was a graduate assistant coach for the Trojans. He signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles and played Arena football with the Los Angeles Avengers.
