29 year old woman | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking men 22-35 within 50 miles
How do you sum up everything in 2 lines???
I have grown up in Houston and moved back after college. I don't know many people in the area anymore so I thought I would try this out. I am really just looking for someone that I can spend some time with; hanging out getting a drink, going to the movies or having dinner. I love, love good conversation and to laugh. I am not the girl who will only talk about shopping. I am also probally not going to bring up quantum physics, anything in between is game. I love learning new things so teach me something. I graduated with a bachelor's in advertising and a minor in art. I love anything that has to do with the arts. I enjoy going to museums, but I don't expect everyone to like it as much as I do. Which brings up another thing, I am independent and I like that very much about myself. I am busy, but I am hoping to meet someone who is busy too and would like to spend some their free time with me.

Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX
Some of my favorite things... my friends (I just don't live in the same town as them anymore), my family, my dog, chocolate, the feeling after running, happy hour and drinking a beer at a baseball game
I really enjoy doing anything with good company. I like movies, shopping, and museums (normal girl things). I also have never turned down tickets to a baseball or football game. When it's warm enough I like to surf. I am not good but I enjoy it.
Please don't judge too much but on my commute to work I listen to audio books. I enjoy reading murder mysteries, especially James Patterson.

The facility is located in a Grade I listed building which provided SDH Building Services with special constraints in their designs and eight-week installation.
Steve Hunt, Managing Director of SDH Building Services Limited, explains: "The railway station is a Grade I listed building which meant we had to consider this in the way we designed the relevant services and the materials that we used. The fact we were working in a busy railway station also posed some challenges in terms of accessing and working in the training facility too."
The work was on behalf of First Transpennine Express which manages Huddersfield Railway Station.

Originally Toned, Premium Quality Gem 1845 Seated Dollar, Rare Proof Format1845 $1 PR66 NGC. Struck from the same reverse die as the 1842, 1846, 1847, 1848, and 1850 proof Seated Dollars in this sale, this coin is unquestionably original with rich lavender-gray toning that deepens in most areas around the peripheral devices. The fields glisten with reflectivity as the coin turns into the light, and vivid crimson, electric-blue, and gold undertones are evident at the same angles. There is not a single ill-defined feature on either side; a small toning spot in the left obverse field at star 6 is useful for pedigree purposes. The 8 and 4 in the date are heavily recut, a diagnostic feature of all known proof 1845 Dollars.
Estimates on the number of extant proof 1845 Seated Dollars include 5-9 coins (Bowers, 1993), 8-10 pieces (Breen, 1977), and 15 examples (NGC and PCGS combined, 1/02). Since the 1845 is equally as elusive as the 1843, and perhaps even the 1841, all three of which are rarer than the 1844 and 1846, it is likely that Bowers' estimate is closest to reality.
Ex: Lester Merkin September 1968 Sale, lot 340, where it realized $725; October 1999 E-Fair Premier Sale (Heritage, 10/99), lot 5319, where it realized $46,000. (NGC ID# 24ZV, PCGS# 6986)

As a child, Anthony Toth visited nearly every aviation museum in North America. But the models of airplanes and displays of memorabilia left him unimpressed.
"I really wanted something that would appeal to all my senses," said the 42-year-old executive of United Airlines. "I wanted to be able to sit in the cabin, to be able to look at all the things that were in there. And even maybe experience what the onboard product might have been like."
What he really wanted was to recreate his experience flying internationally as a child from his boyhood home in Ohio to visit relatives in Rome and Budapest, Hungary. So, when no museum met his criteria, Toth decided to create one for himself. Twenty years in the making, the result is a recreation of a first-class cabin of a Boeing 747 from the now-defunct Pan American World Airways, his favorite airline as a child.
Stay Up to Date on the Latest Travel Trends From ABC News on Twitter
The cabin, made partially with parts salvaged from real Pan Am 747 cabins of the 1970s and 1980s, is ensconced in the garage of his three-level condo in Redondo Beach, Calif.
"Because the pieces are actually very expensive, I was only able to buy one or two things every year," Toth said. "So I would make one big investment in maybe overhead bins or side wall panels or seats."
Many of those parts came from so-called airplane graveyards, such as one in the Mojave Desert outside Los Angeles, a couple of hours' drive from Toth's home.
"I would sift through pieces, painstakingly, in the hot sun, in order to find the piece that I'm looking for," recalled Toth.
Hollywood productions routinely scrounge jet graveyards for parts which can command a fairly high price. For example, an airport departure screen with flight numbers and times cost Toth $800. The 14 first-class seats ran between $800 and $1,200 for each pair. Door handles from a 747 were $250 each. An overhead bin went for $350. And Toth paid well over $1,500 for the console table in the center of the cabin. In total, Toth estimates he has spent more than $50,000 on the project.
Two years ago, after an extensive house hunt in which an oversized garage was the number one criteria, Toth moved in and got started on his dream cabin.
A construction company spent about two months wiring the garage and assembling the aircraft pieces into a finished airplane cabin.
Each seat has an individual air unit and lighting. When an original Pan Am headset is plugged into the seat's audio jack, vintage music and commercials from the 1970s and 1980s are piped through.
Toth hired a custom carpet sculptor to create the nautical decor on the walls that was the signature of every Pan Am airplane. The design was copied from a photo that Toth took inside a plane during one of his trips as a child. Because airline fabric does not last long, a custom textile designer respun the Pan Am fabric in the 747 design to reupholster the red and blue seats.
Though many parts of the plane are not original to Pan Am or even to a 747 aircraft, the cabin is host to Toth's vast supply of Pan Am accessories. He has all of the in-flight magazines from the 1980s in addition to original Pan Am headsets, napkins, stir sticks, dishware, glasses, pillows and blankets.
"I probably have enough of those things to last me the rest of my life if I used one every single day," Toth said.

Avocado Cream Pasta
4 comments | Leave Comment
Avocado Cream Pasta
My family prefers their pasta very creamy—either fettucini alfredo or penne a la vodka shows up on the menu almost every week. But what do I do when we want creamy without the heavy cream? This healthy, refreshing alternative will surprise you.
- Ready Time : 0 min
- 1 pound linguine
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ripe avocados
- Juice of 3 limes
- ¼ cup whole milk or heavy cream
- kosher salt, to taste
- ¼ cup fresh basil
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
Prepare the pasta according to package directions.
In a food processor, add the garlic, lime juice, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Add the avocado, basil, milk, and salt. Process until sauce is smooth. When pasta is done cooking, drain and return to pot. Toss with avocado cream sauce and parmesan cheese.
To serve, top each serving of pasta with summer salsa. Garnish with additional basil and parmesan.
NOTE: This pasta should be served immediately and does not reheat. It, may, however, be served cold the same day.
4 Responses to Avocado Cream Pasta
I made this following the directions and we did not care for it. I am not sure why as we like all of the ingredients. Maybe it was too much cheese or too much basil. I would not make this again.
I know I'm a bit behind the schedule of testing this recipe, but I had saved it and just got around to do so this week. I thought it was great! Very flavorful, but I'm just not sure if it's a main or side dish. I decided to serve it as a side dish along with a spiced rub salmon. (Trying to eat carefully, this pasta sauce is too heavy for a main dish.)

Portland building owners launch energy efficiency competition
A consortium of commercial real estate organizations is challenging Portland building owners to a "Kilowatt Crackdown," a long-term competition to reduce energy.
Portland Mayor Sam Adams threw down the gauntlet Thursday morning, challenging property owners and managers to join in a friendly competition to cut energy use, using cost savings and public praise as incentives.
The Kilowatt Crackdown is designed to help participants benchmark energy use and reduce consumption and operating costs while raising awareness of the ways commercial operators can trim their energy use.
The program is sponsored by the Building Performance Partnership, a collaboration between BOMA Oregon, BetterBricks, the city of Portland, Energy Trust of Oregon, Portland Development Commission and Clark Public Utilities.

By Ed BrockShana McLester said her brother Charles "Peanut" Ammons had had some trouble with the law before, but she has no idea why he was shot and killed along with his roommate. "He wasn't a violent guy," McLester said. "You would really, really have to provoke him to make him be aggressive and strike back." Ammons' body, and the body of 57-year-old Otis James Williams, were found behind Arrowhead Shopping Center on Tara Boulevard Sunday morning. They had been killed elsewhere and their bodies dumped there, Clayton County Police Capt. Jeff Turner said. On Tuesday police were still looking for clues on the where and why of Williams and 37-year-old Ammons' killing. Both men had lived together in Atlanta for about three months, McLester said. Williams was "not a bad person" but she had only met him on one or two occasions, McLester said. The last time she saw her brother, McLester said, he was sitting on the stairs of a church in his neighborhood with a woman on Sept. 21, the Tuesday before he was killed. McLester drove by and waved. Ammons' birthday was Thursday, and he had a court appearance on Friday around 2 p.m. for a traffic charge. McLester, whose birthday was Friday, said Ammons made that court appearance and was supposed to call her for a ride or at least to wish her happy birthday. "We knew something was wrong because he didn't call," McLester said. Turner said the bodies were probably dumped in the area some time late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. McLester said her brother, who had just been released last year from a 10-year prison sentence for aggravated assault, had been in and out of jail before that for minor crimes. Turner said previously that Williams also had a criminal history. Ammons smoked marijuana and drank alcohol, but she never knew him to use other drugs such as crack, McLester said. But she did not have a very close relationship with her brother, does not have the same lifestyle and didn't hang around in the same neighborhood. "I chose not to get caught up in that environment," McLester said. McLester also said Ammons "had a little hustle going on to help pay the bills" but "he wasn't a kingpin." And so far nobody in Ammons' neighborhood has been forthcoming with information on what led to his killing. "I pray to God that somebody comes forward and lets somebody know something," McLester said. Anyone with any information on the case is asked to call the Clayton County police at (770) 477-3605.

Was bored and looking on the Yankees message on how they reacted to getting the wildcard and this is one post that made me laugh.
What an absolute pathetic end to the regular season. I can't believe were going into the playoffs as the sh*tty wild card. Joe Girardi is a pathetic manager who should not be brought back next year. Girardi decided to take it easy and start resting people way to early and it has cost us the division title. Not to mention he has this team going into the playoffs with no offensive rythem do to the constant tinkering with the lineup, and playing like complete chumps who cant even beat a tripple A boston team. You have to wonder if the yankees would even be making the playoffs if the red sox were totally healthy and had there starters playing. I'm happy were in the playoffs , but not happy about how were getting there. Were the defending WS champs and we have to start the playoffs on the road as the wild card team, this stinks.
LOL LOL LOL ... Are you kidding me?? You are defending World Series Champions.. You are going into the playoffs still a huge favorite as a wildcard. Sorry just found this funny and wanted to share.

Devon County Show cancellation is not a "knock-out punch" but doubts surface over its future
Posted: May 24, 2014|
Questions have been raised over whether the Devon County Show can bounce back from the "heart-breaking" decision to cancel its busiest day.
Organisers said they had no option but to call off Saturday's event after heavy rain turned the car park into a quagmire. They cited health and safety concerns following several accidents.
More than 100,000 people were expected over the three days with Saturday by far the busiest.
In addition to the loss of ticket sales, stalldholders have also raised the issue of compensation with many saying the cancellation had left them with "significant losses."

Show secretary Ollie Allen said in a statement: "The board of the Devon County Aagriculture Association will be meeting in due course to consider all implications of this decision including the financial implications. Further announcements will be made in due course.
"We will be considering the long term implications of this and the lessons that need to be learnt in due course. For the moment our thoughts are with our visitors, exhibitors, trade stand holders, sponsors and our army of volunteers for whom this will come as a bitter disappointment."
One stallholder said: "It his a disaster. Because of this we are now at a significant loss. We have no choice as a business to look at ways we might be able to try and recoup some of these losses.
"There has to be doubts and questions over whether the show can recover from this. I do have sympathy for the organisers and this must be financially crippling for them."
But Ian Johnson, from the National Farmers' Union, said he was is confident that the show would "bounce back".
He said: "They're a resilient bunch and they have lot of ingenuity and a lot of talent on that team that put this show together.
"I have every confidence they will get up, they'll bounce back. This is a setback but it's not a knock-out punch."

Dragon Age: Origins
By jimmah7 6 Comments
So I just finished showing the Archdemon what's what and DAMN! I say DAMN! Playing that game was like a second job. It was so good and so engrossing that I couldn't put it down for hours on end. If I had to nitpick I would say the learning curve for combat is a little steep. I found myself just throwing it on casual after I died in the same place 5 times. The story was so satisfying. It is easily one of the best rpgs i have ever played

SpaceX, the pioneering company founded by Elon Musk, has recently started a Flickr account and uploaded a number of amazing photos of their launches, as well as product views and behind the scenes images. What's more, they've licensed their images under a Creative Commons license that enables free, noncommercial re-use with attribution.
In speaking with a media representative for the company, he told Flickr that SpaceX has licensed the images for reuse by the public and they explicitly grant the media the rights to use the images.
We'd highly encourage checking out their account if you're interested in space exploration. The launch images are superb and some of the technical photos give you a great view of what has gone into building the first privately-funded spacecraft in history.
Given their plans to launch the first Dragon 9 with human crew aboard in 2016, we expect SpaceX to be in the news often. Follow their photostream and be sure to use and engage with their photos as they continue to make space exploration history.
SpaceX, welcome to Flickr!
This collection of political cartoons depict the FCC's recent ruling on net neutrality as Big Government throttling the free internet, except that every caption has been replaced with "the cartoonist has no idea how net neutrality works". Here's one example followed by the unadulterated cartoon:

The LEGO Elves sets are out in the wild! I spotted some this evening at Toys R Us, and picked up a few. Happy birthday to me.
The first set up for review is 41701 Aira's Creative Workshop. This set is $9.99 and has 98 pieces. It will be available on the LEGO Shop online on March 1.
Let's get started!
First thing's first: I like the Friend's line, and am a big fan of the Disney Princess sets. So the fact that the Elves theme is part of the Friend's line doesn't bother me a bit.
This is a small set. The parts are in three separate baggies, and the pieces are mostly brown, tan, and purple. When it comes to Aira–I like her. The design on her torso is nice, and the elvish filagree is nice. My main issue with her is that the printing of the ears on her hairpiece does not match the color of her flesh. The hair has a nice effect of being mostly purple and fading to white tips.
The little bird's pretty cute, too.
I am happy to report that the tiles in this set are all printed! You've got a ruler, the map, the scroll, and the wing design. The printing is all crisp.
The first model in the build is a desk, with ink, scissors, and a ruler. I found it to be rather clever; instead of sticking with the molded drawers, this set builds the drawer from scratch. I like that element of design.
The second piece is a glorified bird stand with a place for an envelope and a cookie. It looks nice.
The third piece is a steampunk-esque glider that Aira holds on to. There appears to be a pin to wind up the gold wings, then off she goes.
It's a simple set overall, with decent parts. At $10, you could really take it or leave it. I enjoyed it as a nice little build. I'd say go ahead and pick one up.
The YouTube app that parents have always clamored for is now here: just as expected, the company has today released YouTube for Kids, celebrating it as "the first Google product built from the ground up with little ones in mind." Available for Android and iOS (and coming soon for kiddie tablets like the Kurio and Nabi), YouTube for Kids offers a curated selection of videos that are appropriate for young viewers. Like Vine's own kids app, everything is contained in a "bright and playful design" meant to grab and hold the attention of younger users. YouTube for Kids is broken up into four sections: shows, music, learning, and explore. And with this being YouTube, you'll find a pretty extensive vault of popular children's content from R...

And yet, when my mother spotted this recipe in the newest and (in my not unbiased opinion — I blurbed it) most charming book from Nigel Slater I said, as articulately as ever, "I dunno, wouldn't it be kind of weird?" Which is when I realized that I might I have an overly segregationist view of fruit crumbles. To me, they're a very specific thing, fruit recently plucked from a tree or vine, mixed with sugar, spices if desired, flour or cornstarch to thicken and topped with a crumbly mix of flour, butter, sugar, oats and sometimes nuts. A butter-free, flour-free topping? A buttery almost caramel sauce-d base? Chunks of chocolate?

Consumerist reader Brandon wrote in to share a photo his wife Stacey snapped at a Birmingham, AL Walmart, writing that she came across "this genius invention" while browsing for party supplies. Nothing says party like coffee in the shower, that's for sure.
Indeed, at first glance, Bathe & Brew promises to be the answer to a yawner's dreams, pledging to "Cut your morning routine in half!" and bragging, "Stainless housing stands up to even the harshest dandruff shampoos!"
Alas, upon further investigation, the Bathe & Brew has revealed itself to be nothing more than a prank box, artfully designed for gift givers to dupe recipients into thinking their soapiest prayers had been answered. It's basically a way to break someone's heart.
Here it is as sold by PrankPack.com, as one of a series of "genuine fake gift boxes." It even has its own fake commercial:

But why stop there? You could pretty confidently argue that you've happened upon a lucky series of life choices when you get to spend half an hour on a Wednesday morning at Whole Foods debating what you'd like to put on your party bread in addition to butter and cheese. There was so much to consider! I considered rarebit-ing it, with a boiled mess of butter, beer, mustard powder, paprika, cayenne, Worcestershire and a scattering of cheddar that I might dream about tonight. I wondered if we ought to go French, with gruyere, shallots and herbes de provence or style it like an American baked potato, with chives and bacon, sour cream and cheese. And then I realized that I've never once covered garlic bread on this site and was suddenly filled with purpose and couldn't wait to get home and start playing in the kitchen.

sounds like the 'do you still beat your wife?' quip, he's implying they mess with kids elsewhere
The Sochi Winter Olympics are just weeks away, and concerns about anti-gay laws in Russia are still at the forefront of people's minds. President Vladimir Putin, naturally, wants to avoid much controversy when Russia is in the international spotlight, and Friday he spoke at a question-and-answer session, where one Olympic volunteer asked Putin about Russia's anti-gay laws and how it would affect gay people attending the Olympic Games. Putin reportedly responded, "One can feel calm and at ease. Just leave kids alone, please."
Putin insisted there is no explicit ban on acts of homosexual sex, there's just a ban on gay "propaganda."
"We have no ban on the nontraditional forms of sexual intercourse among people… We have the ban on the propaganda of homosexuality and pedophilia. I want to stress this: propaganda among minors. These are two absolutely different things: a ban on certain relations or the propaganda of such relations."
Putin was also asked why Russia's Olympic uniforms are rainbow-colored. His answer: "I didn't design the uniform."
When NBC is in Sochi to cover the Olympics, Bob Costas has said they won't shy away from talking about the discriminatory laws, while President Obama, instead of going himself, is sending a delegation that includes openly gay athletes like Billie Jean King and Brian Boitano.

John Heilemann was just one of many people who tweeted this Michigan lighthouse photo and claimed it was taken during this week's record low temperatures.
Actually, photographer John McCormick snapped it on January 23, 2013 — another very cold day. ("I remember my camera batteries dying.")
He tells me he's seen his lighthouse picture posted and tweeted "all over the world" this week and misrepresented as a recent shot.
"People are submitting it to meteorologists, like Tom Skilling of WGN, and claiming it's theirs."
McCormick says he posted the image on photo-sharing sites last year, but never sold it to a news outlet. "It was just in my own portfolio."
"I have a large following on Facebook and people were telling me [this week] that my picture was being misrepresented. I figure someone pulled it off one of the photo-sharing sites," and it then went viral.
"It's had hundreds of thousands of shares on Facebook."
Update: I should note that Heilemann corrected his error.
everything goes great with coffee

Version 3.8 of WordPress, named "Parker" in honor of Charlie Parker, bebop innovator, is available for download or update in your WordPress dashboard. We hope you'll think this is the most beautiful update yet.
WordPress has gotten a facelift. 3.8 brings a fresh new look to the entire admin dashboard. Gone are overbearing gradients and dozens of shades of grey — bring on a bigger, bolder, more colorful design!
The new WordPress dashboard has a fresh, uncluttered design that embraces clarity and simplicity.
The Open Sans typeface provides simple, friendly text that is optimized for both desktop and mobile viewing. It's even open source, just like WordPress.
We think beautiful design should never sacrifice legibility. With superior contrast and large, comfortable type, the new design is easy to read and a pleasure to navigate.
We all access the internet in different ways. Smartphone, tablet, notebook, desktop — no matter what you use, WordPress will adapt and you'll feel right at home.
WordPress is sharper than ever with new vector-based icons that scale to your screen. By ditching pixels, pages load significantly faster, too.
WordPress just got a colorful new update. We've included eight new admin color schemes so you can pick the one that suits you best.
Color schemes can be previewed and changed from your Profile page.
The new themes screen lets you survey your themes at a glance. Or want more information? Click to discover more. Then sit back and use your keyboard's navigation arrows to flip through every theme you've got.
Drag-drag-drag. Scroll-scroll-scroll. Widget management can be complicated. With the new design, we've worked to streamline the widgets screen.
Have a large monitor? Multiple widget areas stack side-by-side to use the available space. Using a tablet? Just tap a widget to add it.
Create a beautiful magazine-style site with WordPress and Twenty Fourteen. Choose a grid or a slider to display featured content on your homepage. Customize your site with three widget areas or change your layout with two page templates.
With a striking design that does not compromise our trademark simplicity, Twenty Fourteen is our most intrepid default theme yet.
This release was led by Matt Mullenweg. This is our second release using the new plugin-first development process, with a much shorter timeframe than in the past. We think it's been going great. You can check out the features currently in production on the make/core blog.

"We have seen usually one or two [nicotine cartridges] a week puncturing the tire," the manager of a tire shop told TV station WGAL. The cartridges, which are made out of metal, are much more harmful than a cigarette butt when they land on the road. "When they slash a tire," the shop manager explains, "they usually leave a pretty big gash in it."
Unlike a nail, the sharp cartridges don't leave a simple hole in the tire that can be plugged up. They leave a gash that can't be patched.
So, smokers, as you use the battery-powered device to break one bad habit, please try to break another. Keep a trash bag in your car for the cartridges.
From a county commission meeting story on apalachtimes.com (my boldface):
"Today's not the day to do it," said Sanders. "We're here (for Nabors' salary), not to be up here jewing over somebody's pay. I can't believe that you all would put a man down who has worked here for 26 years because he don't have a high school education."
Franklin County (Fla.) commission chairperson Cheryl Sanders' "jewing over somebody's pay" quote appeared in an Apalachicola/ Carrabelle Times story written by city editor David Adlerstein. He tells me that he received "several startled inquiries"
about the paper's use of "jewing over," even in a public official's quote. [Clarification: "I did receive 'several startled inquiries' but they were entirely about Sanders' use of the term, and not about the paper's decision to use it in a quote," Adlerstein tells me. "The hostile inquiries came from journalism pundits, who questioned my allowing the term in the paper without either expurgating it, characterizing it or decrying it."]
"I have heard the expression on more than one occasion around these parts in my dozen years at the paper," he writes in an email. "It doesn't offend me, unless it's used to describe someone who cheats you. But haggling and dickering? To me, it's a proud trait of my tribe, and it's a solid cut above cold-hearted stiffing someone with a pious grin. But that's me."
Adlerstein says he got a call from a reader who wanted him to listen to a tape of the commission hearing.
They weren't sure they had heard what she said. I listened and it was unmistakable. I tend to put a lot of quotes in these sort of accounts, and it had been mentioned to me, so I included it. Only choice I had to make was whether to capitalize the word. I opted to keep it lower case, out of self-respect.
Chairperson Sanders told me over the phone: "I am not anti-Semitic and there was no malice toward anyone." She added that "this has been blown out of proportion" and that county residents who questioned her use of the expression "have accepted my apology." She hung up when I asked if she would forward the apology email she sent to locals.

When Google Reader announced it was shutting down a few months ago, most of us stamped our feet, panicked, and went running into the arms of another RSS reader. But Matt Jibson is different. Unlike most of us, he can crunch code. So he built a Google Reader of his very own own.

What an interview after the game. Here's to one of the best. :beerme:

What an interview after the game. Here's to one of the best. :beerme:
sounded that way to me.
The Packers are young and going to be a lot better next year. I bet he'll be back. If you can still play, it's hard to let it go.
I am shocked that the Packers finished 8-8. I had them pegged as about a 3-13 team going into the season. I laughed when Favre said they they could be good. They were only a tiebreaker away from making the playoffs.:eek:
I didn't think they'd win a game, but they had a great draft- Hawk, 3 soilid offensive linemen and a good widereceiver. Dryver had a great year and Green a good one. Woodson was a good pickup and the defense really improved over the last 4 games. Indeed they outplayed Buffalo and St Louis
but their inability to produce in the Red Zoan cost them those games and the playoff birth. Another great draft, a lot of cap money to spend, and if Brett comes back, ( Ididn't think he woud after tonight) , who knows
Always good to beat the hated Bears in their own ballpark, something Brett has now done on 13 occassions.
we can only hope.
Being as though he finished the season with such a strong perfomance, I see Favre struggling to make the decision once again this offseason.
One thing is for certain, the Packers are not going to sit around walking on eggshells while waiting for his decision this go around. I feel that they will give him a firm deadline to have them a decision--rather than the other way around.
The waiting during the last offseason was a joke...and ESPN was the court jester.
Actually, I don't think he'll retire. I'd be shocked if he didn't take his shot at a one year farewell tour around the NFL, his ego couldn't bear to miss an opportunity like that.
First of all, I think you are mistaking me for a Peyton Manning honk...the only one who ever graduated from the University of Florida, I am guessing. Hate on Manning all you like, but you have got to admit that he has put up some pretty sick numbers thusfar. Granted, Marvin Harrison has alot to do with that. You had better get used to these "coronations" each and every subsequent season, because Manning will own all of the major passing records when he hangs up his cleats.
The whole point of my earlier post was that Favre might be (mistakenly) tempted to come back for one more year simply to take down some of the "sexiest" passing records of all time. My advice to Brett is: Why bother doing so if Manning will eventually surpass most of those records anyway?
The records that I am referring to are:
Most Career Completion Yards
Favre-57,500 (good chance if he has another year like 2006)
Most Career Passing TDs
Favre-414 (lead pipe lock)
Most Career Games with 4+ Passing TDs
Favre-19 (outside chance-although had no 4+ TD games in 2006)
As I stated earlier, Marino is my guy. But you also have as many Super Bowl rings as does Dan--so I guess he sucks just like Manning does.
Maybe the guy just loves the game and his teammates.
I don't understand the negative bashing that Brett Favre gets from fans. He seems like a genuine guy and he makes the game fun. I don't see any reason to run a guy like that out of the game.
It's not really his fault that he get's asked the same question four hundred times a day.
I just wish guys like Favre and Roger Clemens would just decide whether they want to play again or not and end the constant speculation. I really get tired of these guys talking retirement every year and then deciding to go one more. If you're going to retire, retire. If you think you've still got the desire to play, play. Just stop swinging back and forth like a rusty gate, sqeaking until the media greases your hinges.

Hi! My name is Vanessa, known on the internet as Van Squirgle. My screen name, by the way, is pronounced El Squirgle-O. Yeah, it is totally random and has no meaning at all to me. I'm 24 years old, and I currently live on Long Island but I am absolutely DYING to live elsewhere. I recently graduated from college with a degree in vocal performance with a concentration in music business.
I also run a small shop called Phunky Junk N' Jewels, where I sell my handmade jewelry. You can find examples of my work at my website.
But enough about me... This is not your typical journal! That's right, this is my SIMS journal! I absolutely LOVE to create sims- especially of fictional characters and celebrities. I also enjoy sharing said sims with other people, so be on the lookout for download links! You might also find some rants about craft fairs and pictures of my jewelry on here, but I will try and keep those down to a minimum.

Thankfully celebrities have mouths and their jobs require them to use them, otherwise we wouldn't have these super deep thoughts to mull over. Here are the most outrageous quotes from this week...
"Before her there never was and without her will never be. Wifey is real" — Lamar Odom tweeted, amidst cheating rumors [Twitter]

"I was five or six. Six, I think. Yeah. It was a cop—a guy dressed in a cop costume, and it was a girl going down on him. It was the first time I'd ever seen a penis, and I remember it being very graphic, and I remember when he came: it was so terrifying. It was funny." — Amanda Seyfried, on the first time she ever watched an XXX movie [Huffington Post]

What's not to love about a luau?
When the luminaries from Youth Guidance selected a Luau theme for their signature fundraiser 36-years ago, they may not have known at the time that they had established a thriving tradition!
Each summer, supporters don colorful island clothing, flower leis and even grass skirts, and come together for scrumptious, tropical cuisine and music to raise funds for Youth Guidance. Back by popular demand this year is The Brass Evolution band, which features steel drums.
Laurie Connelly is chairing the Youth Guidance 36th Annual Tropical Night Luau, which will unfold from 7-11 p.m. on June 15 at the Quail Valley River Club in Vero Beach.
This marks Laurie's fifth year chairing the event, and she is quick to point out that she has tremendous, enthusiastic help from committee members Jackie Rossi, Rebecca Hornbuckle, Michaele Gibbons and Dede Ashby.
"Last year we netted a little over $40,000," says Laurie with a big smile. "This is our big fundraiser. This is IT!"
And now with recent government funding cuts, they have to raise even more. Youth Guidance, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, provides year-round mentoring and educational, cultural and recreational programming to empower the children in Indian River County most in need.
Jackie Rossi used to be a Youth Guidance mentor and now serves on the board. "It's important to support our at-risk youth in Indian River County," she says. "We have to look out for them."
Ironically, Laurie's husband Brian, also a successful, local luminary who lives his life giving back, was one of the first mentees at Youth Guidance. His mentor was community pillar Samuel A. Block.
"Brian is proof of the difference it makes having a positive role model," affirms Laurie.
Speaking of family, Dede Ashby is Laurie's mother, as well as a long-time community volunteer. She is in charge of the live and silent auctions.
"I've been going all around town trying to get raffle items," she says, laughing. "It is like a treasure hunt. And these raffle items are probably the best of any event I have gone to. Oh, there are trips and boating excursions - fun stuff."
Rebecca Hornbuckle chairs the board at Youth Guidance, and she is contributing something very special to the auction.
"I have a Farm-to-Table dinner for 20," she exclaims. "Everything I either grow myself or I buy locally. I have helpers and we prepare a meal from appetizers and soup all the way to dessert, including the bar. Last year an attorney purchased it for his firm and they brought their clients. It was a huge success. Literally, I plant my garden with this in mind! It is a huge undertaking, but it is really a wonderful thing."
Exchange Club of Sebastian is the Grass Skirt Sponsor with a contribution of $3,000. The Mai Tai Sponsors with a contribution of $2,000 each are the Exchange Club of Indian River, Indian River Fire Fighters, George E. Warren Corp., The Millers/Culumbers/Mellos/Toths, and Exchange Club of Vero Beach.
"We are also having a private cocktail party from 6-7 p.m. for anyone who purchases a sponsorship, which start at $500," says Youth Guidance board member Michaele Gibbons.
To become a sponsor, call Laurie at (772) 633-1721. Tickets to the Luau are $75 per person if purchased by June 10 ($85 thereafter). There is a cash bar. For tickets call (772) 770-5040 and visit www.youthguidanceprogram.org.

The beginning (no pun intended) of a motion graphic I'm working on at the minute. Planning on having a few different versions of this emblem and working it as chapter headings, using it as a bumper for consistency.
