Nothing Worthy Of Love
I have been 'single' for over a year now and I finally allowed myself to truly open up and care about someone. I told him of my childhood, details I have not even told my therapist, I shared my desires, my dreams, my secrets. I allowed him to see me, to know me.....very few get to. " You are amazing ", " I like you, more than I let on...." he would say. He wanted to be with me and he opened up to me or so it seemed. Yet when all is said and done, I am but one of three. I am nothing special, nothing worthy of love or even consideration of dating. WOW!!Is my personality so unpleasant, so unworthy of being someone special to just one person? I finally open up and it is still not enough.....I do not know how to become worthy....how to become someone who deserves love. It saddens me because I do not understand and I do not know how to fix it or even how to walk away from the pain.
I am tired of being cold, distant.....I want true love. Just someone who truly wants to be with me, spend time with me and who is not constantly looking for that other, better option. I am tired of being that girl who is worthy of f*kking but not worthy of being with.
But perhaps I just need to except my path.....to except I will never find love. Not the kind of love I so want anyway.
To makingmirrors101.. You are defiantly not alone and also a thank you to wickedties for your response... Because of this you have made me feel like I'm not alone either, it made me stop looking at myself like I failed!!
I started to say to myself...yes I am enough.... An it's your loss!! I am worth loving!
My mum always use to say to me no one will love you until you learn to love yourself!! Unfortunately I don't think I will ever love myself, but I do love that I have a loyal heart, I love everyone for who they are and I know that inside I'm an amazing person who one day someone will be lucky enough to have.
So I'm going to stop looking an start enjoying my life, yes I still feel as lonely as hell and I still have a few tears at night, but this is the first time I've started to think positive and it's giving me a little inner strength.
I'm hoping the more positive me shows through and maybe I will catch the eye of a good guy....
Thank you all, your story's and your responses have helped so much, I hope I can help some of you to really look at yourself the way I have just learned to look at myself and see the amazing person you are!!
You are enough and you do deserve to be loved.... All the cheaters that have constantly broken our hearts will one day realise what they have lost and they normally do, when it's to late!!
Keep positive, never change and keep that smile on your beautiful face.... Love will come!
My love to everyone on hear, thank you again

Is it so bad that all someone wants is to be loved? To find someone who actually wants to spend time with us? Or to even just sit there and enjoy the silence that is so very familiar? And maybe even oneday, finally be able to say: " I have a fairy tale ending?"
I know from personal experience that it's hard to find someone who actually wants to be with you too, and who truly enjoys having the company of another person... I still haven't found that person, and I'm starting to lose faith that I ever will... I've basically summed up my life to: forever alone... And what's even worse is that everyone around me is finding true love, and getting married... And sometimes the loneliness gets to me so badly that I just break down and son like a mad woman.... You've basically summed up my life in a short paragraph, and I thank you for making me feel like I'm not the only one who is alone
:-( it's like you have just wrote about my life, and today all I've done is looked at pictures confused wondering why this has happened again :-( I no I'm a lovely person... But why am I not enough?? :-(((((((
I think our hearts are worn too much on our sleeve sometimes, I hope you find real love soon x
I think, from my own experience, that when you just do things that you like around other people you have an opportunity to meet someone and see where it goes rather than set out, search, answer ads, etc in a hope to find a perfect relationship. I've screwed up royally a lot and most of it was pushing for the "right" person and every time it was a disaster. Life is hard. Finding and deserving real love takes a long process of give and take. I found, for me, that when I took I got nothing but crap and when I gave I sometimes got love in return. But, never be the only one that gives or you will be taken advantage of. No need to tell you that, I know.
i just wanted to let you know i went through a divorice years back after 10 years being married and, knew her years before that, i was totally heart broken for a couple years, after all the inner most secrets i told her and at the end it met nothing, but i soon learned it was fun to still fall in love and meet other people to open up too with your most inner desires, it still feel good, and you sound like a good open person, would love to chat with you, Take care
Don't open up in trading for love, that will just make you question yourself more. Open up because it feels good to do so, without expectation, without anticipation :)...When you finally accept that YOU are the sole person who's responsible for everything you do, say, and feel, you will feel a lot better :) Maybe things don't quite work out between you and him as you expected, but at least the good feelings you had when you opened up to a person will perhaps remain and won't change with the fact that he is also seeing other people. Be unconditionally happy! You deserve it! You truly do!
I wish I were worthy of affection also and not just treated like a trophy or piece of furniture. Or put on display as the resident crazy artist.
First of all I believe that there is at least one person for everyone and that no one is unlovable. But sometimes it's hard for those people to find each other. Distance, timing, other relationships...all conspire against them. The truth is that he just wasn't that into you. And as you said that's not a reflection on you, but it still hurts. You just have to be strong, be yourself, and keep putting yourself out there and believe that it will happen.
where are you now 18 months later? how have you grown?
you know... after thinkning about this a couple of weeks the thing I would say is there part of you, even if it's just a small glimmering part, that knows that what happens to you does not reflect your value or worth just the situation you've unconciously been drawn to? I hope so...
It sound like from your comment that there is... how loud is it? how truthful is it? ;)
uve got to love urself first then that love will automatically pull people of worth into ur life and dont accept and settle for less than the best there is coz you are a very attractive woman i believe inwardly and outwardly. i understand you cos i feel just like you and havnt ever been in a real relationship, im trying to fall in love with myself first its hard but it works. bood luck
But you will, if you haven't already...
I am really hoping your not talking about me hurting you as I never wanted to
hi gorgeous, whatever you do, don't give up. Basically what everyone is trying to tell you is, you always find something when you are not looking for it. Just be your usual vivascious self and look at the bright side of life. Love and the right person wil find you just when you don't expect it. Maybe this person you are dating is the right one. Life is all trial and error. It's the only way we learn.
We are all rooting for you.
well you think your personality is unpleasant what does mine need ;), needs an axe and a chainsaw hehehe
Please don't give up. You are a very special person and someday someone will cross your path who can and will be everything that you need. Please keep your chin up and that wonderful (mischeivious) smile on that pretty face.
You have touched my life more than you will ever know and am glad you friended me. Message me some time if you like
What has happened so far wickedties? I hope you have found everything you deserve.
Ahh there was a simpler time, a age when sweethearts waited untill they got married to have sex and explored each other. They already knew from the 3,4, or 5 years of there dates that they weren't just in love, but knew and loved each others soul. If you take sex out of the equation, there is alotta talk time, and you'll know if your right for each other. Question: If you give yourself to a guy cuz you think he is the right one and he goes another way... do you feel robbed? If the answer is yes then you have old fashion values but got tricked by todays modern value to fall into the pain you find yourself in. But you can learn from it. If you don't feel robbed and enjoy sex then you need to see that sex and love are two different animals and you'll fare well to keep them apart.
I did not ... how ever ... grow up in that age and lived for sex ...and did not understand that I hurt so many girls of old fashion value cuz I thought they got just as much out of it as I did. HAD we have talked to no ends then I would learn that they really did not want sex but did it for me / to keep me / to make me think they were cool even! But to tell you the truth, the girls that did not bend to my charm... still today hold there head up high and laugh at me, knowing that they got away from a Man Hoe, er... what ever ya call it. sob...dog...#@%&*$ I do want you to know that every girl I have been with had value to me. I am sorry I saw sex as a itch that had to be scratched.
You are a female that can rock a mans world, I hope you find a guy that likes you but loves your soul...... bottom line..... Know what your values are, be happy and live them.
sorry for the novel
I feel the exact same way!! The only thing is I am realizing I pick men who I KNOW that do not and will not ever have those types of real feelings for me weather I acknowledge it at the moment or not. It is because I feel I am not worthy of anyones love. I will tell you what others have told me..and perhaps I am just repeating what everyone else has already said..
YOU deserve to be loved. The first persons love you deserve is your own. From what I can tell you are a beautiful woman and probably have a rockin personality but you need to believe that. How can you expect for others to love you if you don't feel worthy of anyones love?
I don't always like giving free advice I'm afraid I may offend someone so I hope the following doesn't ..I don't know your situation currently but perhaps take this time to really dig deep..figure out all the reasons why you feel your not worthy of love.
(if you haven't already) That's when you can start making changes. When you get to that place where you LOVE who you are and are happy..you will attract the right kind of people.
When you stop "looking" and start becoming the love you are looking for you will create love all around you andwill attract like energy..become the love you seek and you cannot miss.of course you get the love you give.you must radiate good energy not chase it.
Looks like you need to find a man that can accept all of you for who you are. He will need to appreciate you and not take you for granted. Someone that is not materialistic, and is worthy of you. Not the other way around. It is not an easy thing to find someone like that, I know because it is hard to find a woman like that as well. I understand what you have said in your story, and I feel that you have the same wants and needs as I do. If you like to talk, please contact me OK?
Glad to read that you felt strong and empowered, that is definitely a huge step in the right direction!!
Hi gorgeous..
I will add my little piece to this.. I feel that I must, because after reading your posts throughout here.. it seems to me so unjust what you are going through. But..firstly, one must come to understand and accept the paradoxes that life brings..to all of us. There are so many men that would do anything, even change their entire life, career and location to be with a woman like you. They are on the same wavelength as you and It is their life mission to find someone like you.. and for these men, no other woman, no matter how wonderful she may seem, is rthe right one. It will never be love, just respect and acceptance. Believe me, I know what I am talking about, I am one of these men. BUT...and I have seen this over and over again, two people like this rarely meet and most live their life in a continuous search for the right one, with many mishaps and dissapointments along the way. Just remember this.. for some men, you are a gem, a living fantasy and a lifelong dream.

as batman, the dark knight said, "its what you do that defines you"
i understand loss like that and all i can say is you have to someday muster up your confidence and go out and keep looking. there is no point in giving up. if you want someone to share with, you ultimately have to share yourself, get yourself out there. and it's always a gamble. but it looks like that is the only way to attract the things you want.
if you find your confidence in yourself, to trust yourself again, trust your instincts, you'll find that the positive experiences also find their way to you.
just be the best you you can be and he will find you.
i'm sure everything is going to be ok, wickedties,
If we didn't have trials and tests, we wouldn't know how deliverance or rescue would be like. Its indeed tough and a heck of a pill to swallow, but at times many try to bypass timing to fix issue, when issues arise to fix us and mend things that exists before the right person shows up. Discipline is hard in a world where if you think it you can do and even have it whether its right and or wrong.
I say learn to trust and develop trust, despite how tough it maybe and the issues you have had to carry from upbringing. Those who have hurt ya forgive em and and learn to love them again and even love yourself also from stuff that you may have done. Discover who you're and where you're and discover the treasures that are within you first, before you allow some schmuck to pop up from nowhere and steal it from you leaving you with hatred and fear. That freaking BITE!!!
I however encourage you to take each day as it comes and find things to do that will develop you where you're. Volunteer your time, take a vacation, hang with family, start projects, start a garden, support children the world over etc. better yet, get a massage and sleep the day away during, fart even and enjoy the stench and laugh, seek to find the remedial things we take for granted and often overlook, buy the dress the shoes you saw in the store the other day, throw out the vibrator and go without as discipline until the lover of your life finds you and proves himself to you that you're worthy of more than you thought from all the bad experiences you had previously and learn to pace yourself and not try to sell yourself the first day.
I found this song Ingrid Michaelson - Everybody recently and I hope you dig it, it really encouraged me and I hope it does you too:
this song is a fav of mine:
Thanks, take life one day at a time.

Your household broom might not look like much, but it has a rich history going back thousands of years. While today's brooms are largely mass-produced by machines, they were once constructed by hand, each one unique.A small number of craftsmen keep the historic art of broom making alive and vibrant. Brian Newton, owner of Broomcorn Johnny's in downtown Nashville, Indiana, is one of them. Using tools from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Brian, a prizewinner at the 2012 Arcola National Craft Broom Competition, and an Indiana Artisan, is dedicated to creating high-quality, long-lasting, beautiful brooms for his customers.
Broomcorn Johnny's is a fully functional broom maker's shop; if you drop by, you will likely find Brian, who is trained as a mechanical designer, busy at work and happy to share his knowledge of the craft. Brian enjoys researching and reviving obscure historical broom designs, and teaching others what he has learned about the process.At his shop, Brian produces a wide range of brooms, including the standard kind used for cleaning floors, smaller ones for more specialized purposes, and artistic creations meant for display. He also takes custom orders. Art brooms, specialty brooms and other one of a kind offerings may be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/bcjohnnys
If you are interested in learning more about broom making and perhaps taking home a piece of American history yourself, stop by the shop or peruse the website to see what is available. If you would like to offer these products in your store, wholesale accounts are available.

Active Standard ASTM D6923 | Developed by Subcommittee: D02.B0
Book of Standards Volume: 05.03
Historical (view previous versions of standard)
Significance and Use
5.1 This is an accelerated engine oil test, performed in a standardized, calibrated, stationary single-cylinder diesel engine that gives a measure of (1) piston and ring groove deposit forming tendency, (2) piston, ring, and liner scuffing and (3) oil consumption. The test is used in the establishment of diesel engine oil specification requirements as cited in Specification D4485 for appropriate API Performance Category C oils (API 1509). The test method can also be used in diesel engine oil development.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers stressing an engine oil under modern high-speed diesel operating conditions and measures the oil's deposit control, lubrication ability, and resistance to oil consumption. It is performed in a laboratory using a standardized high-speed, single-cylinder diesel engine.4
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.2.1 Exceptions—Where there is no direct SI equivalent such as screw threads, national pipe threads/diameters, and tubing size, or where a sole source supplier is specified.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use. Being an engine test method, this test method does have definite hazards that require safe practices (see Appendix X2 on Safety).

The weirdness of Silicon Valley manifests itself in a lot of different ways. But watching startup founders push their iPads at Ashton Kutcher today for startup advice and app critiques, rather than photos or autographs, was one of the odder things I've seen recently.
As with much of startup culture, there's a method to the madness. Kutcher and others held the fate of young startups in their hands today at the Y Combinator Demo Day, where 80+ companies get on stage to pitch to investors and the media after months of preparation. The companies are making their debut before the people who will decide whether they will be the next Dropbox, or the next, what-was-that-called-again?
The entire process is something of a cross between a debutante ball and speed-dating, with the investors and founders both trying to gauge interest on the other end. The pitches might seem like the structured part, and the post-event networking just a time for people to hang out with beers. But watching founders negotiate and angle their way toward investors between sessions, ("You go that way, I'll go this way," one founder said), you realize just how high the stakes are for these people. Organizers have to rally people back from breaks using a bullhorn. This is not networking for the weak of heart.
And networking success is what Y Combinator does well. In July, co-founder Paul Graham tweeted that excluding the current class, YC companies have raised $1,048,274,000 dollars so far:
The total amount of funding raised by the 380 companies prior to the current YC batch is $1,048,274,000.—
Paul Graham (@paulg) July 25, 2012
It's an impressive figure, and you get the sense that a good deal of those relationships with investors begins at Demo Day. Investors want to fund YC companies, and everyone knows it:
I need a VC to just stand up at YC Demo Day & shout "I'll fund you all." Then everyone can go out for beers.—
Hunter Walk (@hunterwalk) August 21, 2012
Some have argued that the Y Combinator effect has overvalued all startups, raising the bar so high for early-stage funding that others can't compete. Others have said that the high seed rounds that YC companies typically raise makes it harder for them to make the jump to Stage A funds down the line, at a time when Facebook's IPO flop has made it increasingly harder to exit successfully.
@cdixon The YC froth will settle a bit b/c so much angel was driven by investor vanity & paper wealth. But feels disjointed from Series A/B.—
Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 22, 2012
But as Kutcher told us, he discovers only about half the companies he invests in at YC demo day-esque events, and the other half outside the Valley. So how critical is your debut on the startup social scene? Like any good debutante, you can probably succeed without it. But a graceful, well-connected splash can't hurt.

LSU Football Recruiting: Updates on 2013 Commits and Targets
By Andrew Kulha ,
LSU is one of the premier programs in college football, and much of that has to do with recruiting.
There's not much to dislike about LSU if you're a 4- or 5-star recruit. The Tigers are a powerhouse in the SEC, they are a nationally relevant program, they usually boast a dominant defense, and they are coached by the one and only Les Miles.
There's also the fact that LSU boasts arguably one of the best game-day atmospheres in college football.
No wonder so many elite recruits want to go to LSU...
If you're a fan of LSU football or even just college football recruiting in general, consider this to be your "one stop shop" for LSU recruiting.
You'll find all the news, analysis and updates on commitments and targets that you'll ever need, right here.
Note: All 2012 stats via 247Sports unless otherwise noted.
Update: LSU 4-star quarterback commitment Hayden Rettig completed 3-of-11 passes for 19 yards in the 2013 U.S. Army All-American game. --Update 1/4/13
Update: 4 star ATH Kendell Beckwith commits to LSU during the Under Armour All-American Game. 1/4/13
Update: Maquedius Bain committed to LSU after Day 2 of the practice at the Under Armour All-America Game. He was one of the biggest remaining targets on LSU's recruiting board. Bain ranks as the No. 19 defensive tackle recruit in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, and he has great size at 6'3'', 308 pounds.
Bain told ESPN Insider that LSU's coaching staff was a big reason he picked the Tigers:
"I had a fantastic trip and when I was there I saw everything that LSU had to offer academically and in football," Bain added. "The coaches are great guys but they make you work hard so it's a lot like the coaches at U-School."
With Bain in the bag, LSU fans interest will turn to defensive end Kendell Beckwith who will decide between Alabama and LSU on Friday at the Under Armour All-America Game. – End of Update 1/2/13
Targets: None
Already Committed
Anthony Jennings: 4-star pro-style QB, 6'2", 200 lb.
Hayden Rettig: 4-star pro-style QB, 6'3", 190 lb.
2012 Stats: 3,424 YD, 40 TD, 1 RUTD
All-Star Game: U.S. Army 1/5 1pm ET
LSU has to be feeling very good about the quarterback situation for the future. Both Jennings and Rettig have the potential to be more-than-capable college football quarterbacks, and for now they'll both serve as important depth players.
Rettig is ranked as the No. 11 pro-style quarterback recruit, and Jennings is the No. 15 pro-style quarterback, both according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Getting one top-notch quarterback is great, but landing two is a huge plus for LSU. These two have time to learn the system, and I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them take a redshirt.
Overall, though, the Tigers have to be very happy about landing the commitment of these two recruits.
Targets: None
Already Committed: None
This is not really a position of need for LSU just yet in regards to recruiting, so the Tigers can afford to not waste much time going after running backs. That said, it's always nice to have depth, especially at a physically demanding position like running back, so the Tigers would be wise to keep their options open.
It's also worth noting that a few of LSU's recruits have experience running the ball, so keep that in mind as well.
Josh McNeil: 4-star TE, 6'6'', 250 pounds
All-Star Game: Under Armour, Jan. 4, 5 p.m. ET
Biggest Competition for Commitment: Alabama, Clemson, Florida
Already Committed
John Diarse: 4-star WR, 6'0", 205 lb. 4.70 40
All-Star Game: U.S. Army 1/5 1pm ET
Rickey Jefferson: 4-star WR, 6'0", 180 lb. 4.41 40
Avery Johnson: 4-star WR, 6'2", 180 lb.
Quantavius Leslie: 4-star WR, 6'4", 190 lb. 4.50 40
DeSean Smith: 4-star TE, 6'4.25", 224 lb. 4.71 40
2012 Stats: 815 YD, 11 TD
All-Star Game: U.S. Army 1/5 1pm ET
Logan Stokes: 3-star TE, 6'3", 240 lb.
This is an extremely impressive group of wide receivers, especially for a program that's known for running the ball and playing great defense. Diarse has the potential to be a star for LSU if he ends up playing receiver, but he could end up on defense. Still, he's a big-time recruit for the Tigers.
The other recruit that has a ton of potential here is Quantavius Leslie. He has great height and good speed, which leads me to believe that he can be a legitimate deep threat for LSU.
DeSean Smith has great intangibles for a tight end, so he's another big name you'll want to know from this class.
All in all, this is a very solid group.
Targets: None
Already Committed
Ethan Pocic: 4-star OT, 6'7", 280 lb. 5.20 40
All-Star Game: Under Armour 1/4 5pm ET
Josh Boutte: 4-star OG, 6'4", 305 lb.
Andy Dodd: 4-star OG, 6'4", 325 lb.
Fehoko Fanaika: 3-star OT, 6'6", 340 lb.
Karl Malone Jr.: 3-star C, 6'3", 285 lb.
Les Miles has done a great job of filling some needs and replenishing the depth chart through this group of offensive lineman. Pocic is the big name here, ranked as the No. 4 offensive tackle in the 2013 class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, so look for him to play a big role early on.
That said, Fanaika has incredible size and just as much potential, and both Dodd and Boutte are great guard pickups. Malone Jr. looks to be the center of the future.
Robert Nkemdiche: 5-star SDE, 6'4'', 285 pounds, 4.65 40
All-Star Game: Under Armour, Jan. 4, 5 p.m. ET
Biggest Competition for Commitment: Ole Miss, Alabama
Biggest Competition for Commitment: Alabama
Already Committed
Maquedius Bain: 4-star DT, 6'3'', 308 lb.
All-Star Game: Under Armour 1/4 5pm ET
Greg Gilmore: 4-star DT, 6'4", 273 lb. 4.90 40
All-Star Game: Under Armour 1/4 5pm ET
Frank Herron: 4-star strong-side DE, 6'5", 235 lb. 4.70 40
Christian LaCouture: 4-star strong-side DE, 6'5", 265 lb.
Lewis Neal: 3-star weak-side DE, 6'0", 235 lb.
Tevin Lawson: 3-star DT, 6'4", 275 lb.
Michael Patterson: 3-star weak-side DE, 6'3", 240 lb.
2012 Stats: 69 TCK, 7 TFL, 9 SCK, 2 FF, 2 FR
Kendell Beckwith: 4-star WDE, 6'2.5'', 225 pounds, 4.83 40
Update: Kendell Beckwith commits to LSU during the Under Armour All-American Game. 1/4/13
2012 Stats: 91 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 fumbles recovered
Greg Gilmore is the marquee player in this group, and he has superstar potential. He has great size and fantastic speed for a defensive lineman, and he's ranked as the No. 8 overall defensive tackle recruit by the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Landing his commitment was a big win for LSU.
That said, LaCouture looks like he can be a very solid defensive end as well, and Herron has a great combination of size and speed.
As far as targets are concerned, LSU is the favorite to land Bain (247Sports) and Beckwith (247Sports).
LSU could end up with the best defensive line recruiting class in the country when all is said and done.
Targets: None
Already Committed
Melvin Jones: 4-star ILB, 6'3", 245 lb.
2012 Stats: 78 TCK, 1 INT
LSU has been a bit underwhelming in regards to recruiting linebackers, but Jones could end up making up for that. He has great size and is actually ranked as a duel-threat quarterback as well, which goes to show you athletic he is.
He's listed as the No. 12 inside linebacker recruit in the 2013 class by the 247Sports Composite rankings, so he's a big-time recruit for LSU. I'd like to see the Tigers add a bit more depth at the linebacker position, but for now, Jones appears to be it. Thankfully for LSU, he has star potential.
Priest Willis: 5-star CB, 6'2'', 200 lb.
All-Star Game: Under Armour 1/4 5pm ET
Biggest Competition for Commitment: Virginia, Florida State, Nebraska, Arizona State, Notre Dame, UCLA
Already Committed
Jeryl Brazil: 4-star ATH/CB, 5'10", 180 lb. 4.32 40
All-Star Game: Under Armour 1/4 5pm ET
Tre'Davious White: 4-star ATH/CB, 5'10.5", 170 lb.
All-Star Game: US Army - 2 Kickoff Returns, 52 YDS
Rashard Robinson: 4-star CB, 6'2.5", 165 lb.
Jeremy Cutrer: 4-star S, 6'3", 175 lb.
2012 Stats: 66 TCK, 4 INT
Miles and his staff have done a great job recruiting defensive backs, and this group here could end up being elite. Brazil could play anywhere on the field with his speed, but I see him ending up being a great corner. The same can be said for Tre'Davius White. Robinson has great size for a cornerback and Cutrer could end up being a very productive safety.
If LSU can land Willis, its defensive back class would be amongst the best in the nation, if not the best. Credit the Tigers' ability to produce elite corners and send them to the NFL for their success recruiting secondary players.

"Fathead" Newman's Granddaughter Reveals Plans for Two Dallas Memorials
She says that because the service has been hastily assembled, she's not sure what will take place, aside from some remarks and a poetry reading: "It's basically a gathering to honor and remember him." Family members are expected to attend, and she invites jazzers to the ceremony: "Anyone who would like to perform is more than welcome." Talibah, a recent graduate of Columbia University, is also working on a documentary about her grandfather: She's completed a 15-minute short, and hopes to assemble a feature-length version sooner than later." She adds that on or around February 24, there will be another Dallas celebration, most likely at the South Dallas Cultural Center. February 24 would have been David Newman's 76th birthday. After the jump, video of the man in action with Ray Charles.

Couldn't fix it, so I won't take your money."
As the idea of this billboard campaign was being created, we wanted to focus on those people that were making a difference in our communities. It just so happened that our Creative Director, Jay, took his car to have it repaired. Jay searched for an "honest" mechanic and Mike Masiello was highly recommended by the people that knew him well. After Mike spent nearly 3 hours trying to fix Jay's car, he realized there was nothing he could do. The problem was unfixable. Jay suspected that news, and reluctantly asked how much the diagnosis was going to cost him. Mike simply said, "I couldn't fix it. I won't take your money."
As Jay stood there, in a small shop on Long Island, he knew that people like Mike were exactly who we were looking for in this campaign. Everyday Heroes.
By his neighbors and peers, Mike is known as the "Mother Teresa" of the automotive world. He's an honest guy, making an honest living, and never tires of helping those around him.
Integrity. Pass It On!
This billboard about integrity features Mike Masiello; mechanic.

Playwright Horton Foote discusses his life and work, starting with his childhood in Wharton, Texas, which became the setting for many of his plays. He describes his early years as an actor, how encouragement from choreographer Agnes De Mille inspired him to become a writer, and tells how a short drama he wrote for television grew into the nine-play Orphans' home cycle. Foote compares working for the stage with writing for television and film, speaks of some of his influences and his experiences adapting other writers' work, and discusses specific elements in his plays, such as family, race, religion, and music.

The 65th-anniversary edition of an educational classic proves its relevance in examining today's educational quandaries
McGraw-Hill first published "The Saber- Tooth Curriculum "in 1939, and it has remained a classic bestseller to this date. The book is just as relevant and applicable to the key questions in education today as it was when it was first published.
With tongue firmly in cheek, Peddiwell takes on the contradictions and confusion generated by conflicting philosophies of education, outlining the patterns and progression of education itself, from its origins at the dawn of time to its culmination in a ritualistic, deeply entrenched social institution with rigidly prescribed norms and procedures.
This fascinating exploration is developed within a fanciful framework of fictional lectures, given by Professor J. Abner Peddiwell, doyen in the History of Education at Petaluma State College. In a humorous fable, Peddiwell illustrates the progress of education and give valuable insights into how it could continue to develop in the decades to come.

Thread: Spectre Intake Kit
Spectre Intake Kit
I asked about a month ago about the spectre intake and didn't get very positive reviews from other forum users. I went ahead and bought one anyways for 149.00 at auto zone.
Installation 10 of 10 Easy to install
Construction of intake kit after install 7 of 10 Could be a little better built
Sound 10 of 10 Produced a very deep sound under the hood
Performance 8 of 10 Not night and day difference but the sound that is produced makes me really happy about my purchase I do think I feel a good increase in mid range power
Price 10 of 10 150.00 compared to 300.00 to 400.00 Economy is bad so this price was GREAT!
I would recommend this intake to someone else and will prob buy it again if needed. Hope this review helps for people like me that can't really budget in a K&N, AFE, Bully Dog...etc
***Edited for info and pics ****
I still need to adjust the height of intake and put it more in the housing shield that came on it...and reroute that coolant hose underneath it
My truck feels violated if I expose her "Under the Hood Area" all over the internet so to make her satisfied I had to include a whole pic of her...Don't really feel like listening to her gripe later....LOL

By now, at least if you've come from page 1, you've seen the entire rock, and read its recent story; here all we'll do is keep our eyes open and look at the markings.
Things are never quite so simple, mind you. First, inevitably, I've made a selection of what to show you, although it's a pretty large one, including many of the glyphs that are not lined out in modern paint. Then, more subtly, the very framing of my individual photographs, and even more so that blasted paint, might suggest groupings: a trap we shouldn't fall into, since we can't read the marks and therefore can't possibly know whether adjacent or superimposed signs might not have been carved hundreds of years apart and have nothing to do with each other — or conversely, that signs now separated by others might not be part of the same "sentence"; assuming they mean anything at all, of course.
We don't fall into anything, on the other hand, by calling these things petroglyphs. A petroglyph is merely a sign carved in stone; it need not mean anything.
Some items, though, we can safely interpret as much less mysterious:
My best reading: RO HESLE (?) (and a Hesle family is in fact recorded in rural Kentucky; but similar names must also be found in the area as well). |
And now we're ready to look at page 3: theories.

text: Zoologist Marvin Feldman lives with his overbearing mother and likes animals more than most people. While spending time at a wildlife refuge in California, Marvin meets Frasier, one of the older lions in the preserve who is known for his ongoing virility. When he is alone with Frasier one day, the lion begins to talk to Marvin in English. Eventually, the fact that Frasier can speak leaks out and Marvin tries to protect him from being commercially exploited. ~ Baseline StudioSystems

Title: | Edge Localized Image Sharpening via Reassignment with Application to Computed Tomography |
Author: | Dorney, Timothy D.; Bhashyam, Srikrishna; Doran, Andrew; Choi, Hyeokho; Flandrin, Patrick; Baraniuk, Richard G. |
Type: | Conference Paper |
Keywords: | Image enhancement; edge sharpening; computed tomography; wavelets; reassignment |
Citation: | T. D. Dorney, S. Bhashyam, A. Doran, H. Choi, P. Flandrin and R. G. Baraniuk,"Edge Localized Image Sharpening via Reassignment with Application to Computed Tomography," in SPIE Technical Conference on Mathematical Modeling, Estimation, and Imaging, |
Abstract: | Traditional filtering methods operate on the entire signal or image. In some applications, however, errors are concentrated in specific regions or features. A prime example is images generated using computed tomography. Practical implementations limit the amount of high frequency content in the reconstructed image, and consequently, edges are blurred. We introduce a new post-reconstruction edge enhancement algorithm, based on the reassignment principle and wavelets, that localizes its sharpening exclusively to edge features. Our method enhances edges without disturbing the low frequency textural details. |

Sign of Luck is a 5 reel (non-progressive), 9-payline, Viaden Video Slot. It comes with a wildSymbol, scatter symbol, multiplier, free spin and has a maximum jackpot win of $500.
Do you believe in, or perhaps possess, a lucky charm? If you do, or even if you don't you might be interested in a new slot from Viaden called Sign of Luck. The slot offers 5 reels, 9 paylines which contain wild symbols, scatter wins and free spins.
The first thing you'll notice is that jaunty tunes play out as soon as the slot loads, if these aren't to your liking a mute button is nestled among other option buttons in the top right hand corner. We happen to think it adds to the slot, but if you prefer playing in silence or listening to other music the option is always there.
The happy-go-lucky theme continues visually with a bright background of green fields and fluffy white clouds. The logo features a lucky horseshoe, with the theme of luck reflected in various reel icons.
The reel icons include pots of gold, horse shoes, piggy banks, lucky black cars, shooting stars and the Royal suit which has been given a clover makeover. Each one includes a pulsing animation when a win pays out.
This is definitely a great slot for penny gamblers because the betting range tops out at 0.45 and starts at just a penny per spin. This means the top payout is £500, which might not sound like much but is astounding when you consider the top bet is just 0.45.
The Black Cat is well known for being lucky, on this slot it is the wild symbol which helps create wins by substituting for other symbols. Any wins created are also doubled which makes this a very lucky symbol indeed!
The Shamrock/Four Leaf clover icon is also lucky as it can produce wins in two different ways. Scatter wins are paid when at least two scatter icons appear on the reels with two icons paying double your line stake, three paying 5x, four paying 20x and five paying 250x.
Three or more scatter icons also pays 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier being applied to any wins created. These free spins can be restarted if more shamrock icons appear during the free spins.
Sign of Luck may not include the standard features of other slots, but sometimes it pays to be different. The interesting theme and chance of winning 10,000 coins certainly interests us, as does the variety of betting options and ease of use.
