|"Close My Eyes"
|Song by Mariah Carey
|from the album Butterfly
|New York City: Crave Studios and The Hit Factory
|Butterfly track listing
"Close My Eyes" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey for her sixth studio album Butterfly (1997). It was co-written and produced by Carey and Walter Afanasieff. While Carey solely wrote the lyrics to the song, both she and Afanasieff composed its music. They also produced and arranged the song together. A downtempo piano led song, the lyrics in "Close My Eyes" revolve around negative experiences in her life, including indirectly talking about the relationship between her and ex-husband Tommy Mottola. In September 2012, Carey revealed that it is one of her most favorite and revealing songs that she has written in her career thus far.
Carey began working on Butterfly in January 1997. During the album's development in mid-1997 Carey separated from her husband, music executive Tommy Mottola, who had guided her career since 1988. Carey's increasing control over her own career had led to speculation in the press over the future of the couple, and they later divorced.[1] Throughout the development of the album, in a departure from her previous style, Carey worked with various rappers and hip-hop producers, including Sean "Puffy" Combs, Kamaal Fareed, Missy Elliott and Jean Claude Oliver and Samuel Barnes from Trackmasters.[1] Critics saw Carey's new production team as a form of revenge on Mottola and Sony Music.[1] Carey denied taking a radically new direction, and insisted that the musical style of her new album was of her own choosing. Nevertheless, Carey resented the control that Sony, whose president was Mottola, exercised over her music, preventing her making music about which she was passionate.[2] In contrast, Sony were concerned Carey, their best-selling act, could jeopardize her future success through her actions.[2] The pressure of the separation and constant press attention began to take its toll of Carey. Growing creative differences with producer Walter Afanasieff ended their working relationship, after collaborating on most of Carey's previous output.[2] The breaking point came after a heated argument during a long recording session, over the album's musical direction.[1] Carey also faced media criticism over her choice of producers and several newspapers linked Carey romantically to several rappers, suggesting these relationships influenced her decisions.[1] However, Carey denied the allegations, stating she had only slept with her husband.[3]
Production and recording[edit]
"Close My Eyes" was co-written by Carey and Walter Afanasieff; Carey solely wrote the lyrics, while both she and Afanasieff composed the musical structure. It was also produced and arranged by Carey and Afanasieff. The keyboards, synthesizers and programming were performed by Afanasieff. Additional keys, drum and rhythm programming, sound design and computer programming were carried out by Dan Shea. Dana Jon Chappelle and Mike Scott served as the engineers, while Ian Dalsemer was enlisted as the assistant engineer. "Close My Eyes" was recorded at Crave Studios and The Hit Factory, both situated in New York City. It was mixed by Mick Gazauski at both Crave Studios and The Hit Factory. It was mastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering in Portland, ME.[4]
Composition and lyrical interpretation[edit]
"Close My Eyes" is a downtempo piano led song,[5] which runs for a duration of four minutes and 19 seconds.[6] The lyrical content of the song speaks indirectly about Carey's relationship with Mottola,[7] and reflects on times in her life where she has had personal struggles and troubles.[5] Her past is presented in the lyrics "I was a wayward child, with the weight of the world that I held deep inside" and "Life was a winding road, and I learned many things little ones shouldn't know."[5] As described by David Browne for Entertainment Weekly, Carey "paints herself" in the lyrics as "A wayward child, with the weight of the world".[8] He also noted that the singer seems concerned that she had to grow up quicker than was perhaps necessary, in order to live her life in a controlled environment, "Maybe I grew up a little too soon."[8] During the chorus, Carey lightens the mood of the song by singing about having courage to face times of adversity, "But I closed my eyes, steadied my feet on the ground, raised my head to the sky. And though times rolled by, still I feel like a child as I look at the moon. Maybe I grew up a little too soon."[5] Jon Pareles for The New York Times wrote that Carey "coos" the lyrics "Maybe I grew up a little too soon" and "That woman-child inside was on the verge of fading/ Thankfully I woke up in time."[9]
Critical reception[edit]
David Browne for Entertainment Weekly described how "Close My Eyes", as well as another track from the album entitled "Butterfly", were not difficult songs to interpret, writing "It isn't a reach to interpret these songs as describing life with the reportedly controlling Mottola."[8] Jon Pareles for The New York Times wrote that with regard to the lyrics "Maybe I grew up a little too soon" and "That woman-child inside was on the verge of fading/ Thankfully I woke up in time," "Carey isn't about to turn into Alanis Morissette; Butterfly proclaims dependence more humbly than ever."[9] In their guide to Carey's albums, Rolling Stone stated that "Close My Eyes," along with "Butterfly" and "Breakdown," were songs which indirectly spoke about her "pending extraction from the tentacles" of Mottola, who exercised his power over her as the head of Sony, the label to which Carey was signed.[7]
Live performances[edit]
Carey performed "Close My Eyes" for the first time live on The Rosie O'Donnell Show in 1997.[10] The performance saw Carey perform the song sitting on a stool, wearing a white vest top and jeans.[11] It was also included on the set list of her Butterfly World Tour of 1998 and Rainbow World Tour of 2000.[12]
In an interview with CNN on September 7, 2012, where she was honored by Broadcast Music, Inc. for her songwriting, Carey declared "Close My Eyes" as one of her most favorite and revealing songs that she has written.[5] She stated that it is not always her number one or signature songs which are her favorite, rather, they are "lesser-known cuts from more obscure records."[5] When asked about how she felt about some of her number-one singles, including "Hero" (Music Box, 1993), "We Belong Together" (The Emancipation of Mimi, 2005) and "Touch My Body" (E=MC², 2008), the singer revealed "I still love those songs, [but] I love the obscure songs because they're very close to my heart. Especially a song called 'Close My Eyes,' that's like my life story."[5] In addition to "Close My Eyes," Carey cited "Looking In," "I Am Free," and "Underneath the Stars" (Daydream, 1995) as some of her favorites.[5]
The song is included on the U.S. release of The Essential Mariah Carey. On Carey's official Facebook page on May 12, 2012, shortly after the release, she wrote, "I spent four years writing this song, only because after I performed in Schenectady, NY, I started hearing this melody and singing it over and over to myself as I was taking a bath, looking at the moon.. Four years later, as I was leaving a devastating part of my life behind, I wrote the second verse, the bridge and the outro."[13]

Style: 41017161 Colour:
Gorgeous mini dress featuring a crinkly fabrication and a plunging V-neckline. Wraparound suede tie at the waist. Effortless fit.
So pretty and so creative
I'm 5'2 115lbs bought th smallest size. It took me a while to figure out how to wear it. I love how it looks and drapes on me. Very different and creative dress, showing off quite a bit of your back but in an elegant way. The green suede leather belt makes the dress. Highly recommend.e
Now I will start off by saying, it took me a few minutes to figure it out, it's a little bit of a maze at first. But after that 5 minutes I loved it!!! It looks kinda like I robe but I dig that sort of thing and if you do too you'll love it. I range between 4 and 6 but it looked big so I bought the 4. It fits a little snug but it's not horrible, I don't mind the size. I love how cute it is and the suede belt is to die for, can't wait to wear it!
not a great fit
I was very excited about getting this dress, but honestly could not figure out how it was supposed to fit. There is way too much material in the front of the dress so the plunging neckline is extremely baggy and unwearable. It was for fitting when I pulled the dress all the way down in the back, but then the collar was at my shoulder blades. Unfortunately I'll be returning


text: My father has a Gravely 25/60 and for us to get it to cut decent we had to put the high lift blades on it like I have on my Lazer Z. The mower seems as though it does not have enough blade tip speed. What I'm asking, can the Kaw. 25 be turned up a bit in RPM's at full throttle?

Move from
•From coatings to embedded
•Purely functional garments To responsive garments
Shift in design based on properties of materials to technology such as electronics, nano, Bluetooth.
As technology evolved so did the human mind in its perception of itself and its environment. The initial motivation to overcome the calamities faced under harsh circumstances led to development
of new fibers and fabrics. However, this did not last long as technology gave the advantage of multi functionality, thereby leading to development of devices which could enable multi tasking. Yet again the cyborg movement did not last as man wanted to get in touch with his human side having been pulled by technology in an outward direction.
Then came the development of intuitive technologies which gave one the choice
to share or retreat, this being achieved, it came naturally to be responsible
for one's environment which led to the
development of sustainable technologies and textiles.
And the last, its influence in Olympics 2012.
The textures chosen for the each story have been inspired by
the technology relevant to that movement/ ideology. The colors have been chosen
from Promostyl forecasts for fall/winter - 2010/11

Reportedly, the tablets, both of them, are named as Fleming but a few reports state that one of the two will be known as Fleming Emara. Apart from running Android Honeycomb, the tablets also share another common factor - 4G LTE chip. The Android tablets are similarly designed as well with screw-fixed metal panels at the back. From what we can gather from the leaked pictures, the tablets look very attractive and are likely to be hugely successful. Supposedly, the specifications would be surprising thereby offering great performance. Reports of last couple of weeks say about Motorola's efforts to bring out the successor of the Motorola Xoom tablet, named as Xoom 2. It was then that Endgadget came across the confidential Fleming Tabs project.
The 8 inch Motorola Fleming tablet will be known as the Fleming Emara. This tablet is quite unique because its display comes in a portrait orientation which actually doesn't look awkward. From the leaked pictures, the tablet had primary and secondary cameras at the rear and the front respectively. Unfortunately, none was lucky enough to obtain info on the spec details. The 10 inch Motorola tablet will, obviously, be known as the Motorola Fleming and is said to have landscape alignment. Both these Motorola Fleming Tabs are speculated to have anti-glare, scratch resistive displays with very good resolution probably 720 or 1080p HD. Motorola Fleming Tabs will also have front and rear cameras and if, say, the primary camera is capable of full HD video recording, then these 4G Motorola Fleming Tabs will surely dominate in the Tablet market. Reportedly, the Motorola Fleming Tabs does come with a good camera and a few reports claim it to be of 5 Megapixels while a few recent reports claim it to an 8 Megapixel Full HD camera.
Another uniqueness of the design of both these Motorola Fleming Tabs is that, both of them sport a button at the back for Start/Sleep/Shut down functions. This button is located beside the volume controls. Reportedly, the tablets will be available pretty soon in the coming months; in black/white colours and the White colored tablets are speculated to be available only in selected regions.

Moving onto the close-combat gun of the BioShock series: In my opinion, the Shotgun got fairly well designed in the previous games, as it was satisfying both in terms of power and ease of use. However, there's still lots of room for expansion: there are tons of different playstyles for the Shotgun, and every previous version had only catered to one particular branch of combat. Hopefully, my idea will be tailored to a wider variety of players, while opening up new forms of combat with this weapon.
- Clip Size: Three rounds.
- Ammo Carry Capacity: 24/12/12
So as not to use the same shotgun types featured in BioShock and BioShock 2, this particular Shotgun is modelled on what is known as a revolving shotgun: basically, it's a cross between a typical shotgun and a revolver, with a rotating barrel holding the weapon's ammo. Gameplay-wise, this Shotgun's capable of one-shotting any Splicer at close range when you first acquire it, although it has a slightly slower fire rate than Subject Delta's Double-Barreled Shotgun. Also, each shot is loaded individually rather than in groups of three.
Ammo Types
- Lead Shells: Standard ammo for the Shotgun. No changes.
- Kinetic Shells: Rare ammo for the Shotgun. Shooting anything with this ammo type, in addition to damaging it, will fling it back with extreme force, also causing it to deal and receive damage if it hits anything along the way. Shots from this ammo type also have a small blast radius, and will fling back anything inside it (although it only deals damage on a direct hit).
- Solid Shells: Inventable ammo for the Shotgun. Work identically to the Solid Slugs in BioShock 2.
- Upgrade 1: Side Barrels. Doubles the spread and number of pellets fired by the Shotgun. If using Solid Slugs, shooting them will also shoot a mini-slug at both sides of the gun, each one dealing half the big slug's damage.
- Upgrade 2: Drum Magazine. Extends the Shotgun's clip to eight shots. Reloading is sped up to as to take as much time as for a Shotgun without this upgrade to load a full clip.
- Upgrade 3: Electric Prongs. Quick-meleeing with this weapon deals extra damage and throws the target enemy back, shocking them in the process.
- Upgrade A: Auto-Fire. Shotgun's fire rate is greatly increased. In addition, holding down the fire button will cause the weapon to fire continuously.
- Upgrade B: Electric Shells. Shooting enemies with the Shotgun also shocks them. Rather than this being a random chance, as for the Shotgun's Tesla upgrade in BioShock 2, this ability has a small cooldown (about 1 second), indicated by the color of two wires running along the weapon: when they're bright blue and crackling with electricity, the next shot will shock anything it hits. After this is done, the wires will revert to a dark grey and regain their blue glow over the course of the cooldown.
- Upgrade C: Ejectable Drum. Reloading the weapon will fully recharge its clip, in the same time it would take to load a single shell.
And there, done with the Revolver Shotgun. Next up, the successor to the Crossbow/Spear Gun!

Orad Helps National Terrorism Institute Prepare U.S. First Responders for 'Virtually' Anything(October 19, 2008)
"We have limited space in our studio, so before we went virtual, we used hard sets built by commercial contractors and stored them wherever we could find space," said Charles Hall, NTPI media services director. "This was expensive and cumbersome, and because of our physical limitations, the results weren't always up to the quality we wanted. After evaluating several different companies' virtual set solutions, we chose Orad's ProSet. The first time we used the system, I think all of us reacted with a big 'Wow!' The 30 x 60-foot studio appeared to be huge and our low-hanging light grid was no longer a problem."
Funded by the United States Department of Homeland Security, NTPI was founded in 1998 and is housed at St. Petersburg College in St. Petersburg, Fla. The primary audience for NTPI programming is the civilian and military first responder community, including law enforcement, fire/rescue, emergency medical, public health, and emergency management personnel. However, many NTPI productions are also available to the general public via the Web and on public access cable channels.
Since summer 2007, the institute has used only virtual sets, some from a set library and others designed in-house. NTPI also takes advantage of Orad CamTrack, which affords the flexibility of capturing movement in perspective, enabling, for example, talent to be tracked from one set area to another, maximizing the flexibility of the physical space. Because there is only one studio, the ProSet virtual studio system also boosts efficiency, allowing the production team to change sets fast and with minimal staff intervention. The institute also uses the virtual set to give programs like its "Live Response" panel discussion show a network look. For post-production, the Orad graphics solutions integrate seamlessly with NTPI's Final Cut Pro® and Avid® workstations.
At NTPI, the physical studio includes three Shotoku broadcast system pedestals and a sensorized jib that require only the equivalent of a calibration point to merge the images taken from four digital cameras with virtual backgrounds that may even include footage of actual disasters. Orad ProSet relies on simple, yet highly advanced infrared tracking that extracts camera position, orientation, and field of view from the video signal itself, making the set ideal for a small studio like NTPI's because it eliminates the need for outboard tracking equipment.
"NTPI serves a vital function in the United States by providing distance learning for emergency preparedness," said Avi Sharir, CEO and president of Orad Hi-Tec Systems. "Flexible and highly reliable, Orad's virtual sets support that mission by enabling cost-effective creation of polished, high-impact productions."

The social order of late 18th and early 19th century Britain ordained that there was a strict distinction between the Officer class of the British Army and the rank and file, who Wellington famously described as 'the scum of the earth'. In order to be an officer one was expected to be a gentleman born and bred. To some extent this changed during the Peninsular War when five to six per cent of the officers serving in the Army were promoted from the ranks. One such man was Isaac Chetham.
Isaac Chetham was born in Nottingham during the first half of 1781, the son of Edward and Mary Chetham (baptismal certificate in WO 42/8/C306). I have been unable to discover Edward Chetham's occupation, but as his son could read and write, and had obviously had at least a basic education, I feel that he is more likely to have been a tradesman, or skilled craftsman, than a labourer. Whatever his occupation it would appear that Edward Chetham was not in a position to purchase a commission for his son when he joined the Army in 1797, at the age of 16. None the less Isaac rose steadily through the ranks and was commissioned as an Ensign in 1811.
Isaac was one of those who responded to a circular return sent out by the War Office in October 1828 to retired officers on full, or half, pay. This return is held at The National Archives (WO 25/753/49) and it gives considerable insight into the Army career of a man who fought in many of the major battles of the Peninsular War.

12 July 1948, Lyallpur (later renamed Faisalabad), Pakistan, d. 16 August 1997, London, England. One of the most popular singers to emerge from the Indian subcontinent, Khan predominantly sang qawwali, the music of devotional Sufism, but incorporated other forms including Khyal (traditional classical) to produce a unique style that appealed to followers of all religions. He performed with the Party, a group of highly trained Pakistani musicians that included several family members. In 1971, Nusrat took over from his father (Ustad Fateh Ali Khan) as leader of the Party after experiencing recurring dreams that he was singing at the famous Muslim shrine of Hazratja Khawaja Moid-Ud-Din Christie in Ajmer, India. This dream became reality eight years later. Through the 70s and 80s Khans music began to become increasingly synonymous with India and Pakistans vibrant film industry. Such was his popularity with the stars of the movies that in 1979 he was invited...

Lol and yes I'm going anonymous here too.
Why is it that I get way more thumbs up on opinions when I go anonymous than when I'm not?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
I think it's because when you are anon you are more open about what you say cause no one will know it's you. But when you post as yourself you might not be as thought provoking or the question you posted on isn't getting as much attention.
Does that make sense?10|10|0
Gotcha. Makes a lot more sense
@Oxi112094 Do you think that most people are like that when you think about it?
Usually when you go anon you tend to care a lot less about what you say. Posting publicly causes some people to hold back what they really want to say so they may not end up saying much.00|00|0

Some people tend to have worries that traveling by boat may appear to be dangerous. The most often troubles that may happen on a board of water vehicle are collision, taking the ground, fire and sinking. According to the statistics the accidents on rivers happen more seldom than the ones in the sea. It sounds like a paradox but the safety of the river traffic is connected with its rules. A river is similar to a road and the vehicles keep to their lines. Moreover their captains arrange and corrects their tracks via portable radio sets. The boat which goes downstream has the right to go ahead. The one that goes against the current is to stop and let the previous one go. It is easier to stop for the boat that goes against the current and that's why it has to wait until the head-on vehicle passes by. The captains of the river vehicles have to stop in front of the area where running ahead is prohibited. They inform the other captains that their vehicles are going to enter those zones for other boats to correct their tracks.

Bryan Peppin, who headed production and programming at SS Music (Southern Spice) in the capacity of Creative Director, has moved on to launch his own production house, 'Step 24'. He moves after five years with the channel. James Decruz, Executive Producer at SS Music till recently, has been promoted to Peppin's job.
Speaking to exchange4media, Decruz said, "The focus of my new assignment will be to further build on the innovative never-done-before aspects of programming for SS Music."
"SS Music is South India's hottest music channel and would focus more on Tamil and English audience segments rather than concentrating on the entire south India audience. We are also strengthening our programming and packaging to consolidate our positioning in Tamil Nadu," he explained.
SS Music has its base in Chennai and telecasts film and non-film music round the clock. Besides the four South Indian languages, it also plays English and Hindi music.
Meanwhile, Peppin's production house has started off with a commercial for Eyetex dazzler that is currently on air, and is also working on a reality-based show for a Tamil satellite channel. The show is likely to go on air in end-September.
Peppin said, "The maximum exposure I have received till date has been at Southern Spice. Doing things hands on for five years has been a great experience. Step 24 will look at ad films and television programming and the team is being put in place right now."
Before joining SS Music, Peppin has worked with events firm Wizcraft, and was also involved with the launch of Ushe TV, the Sun Group's second Kannada channel. He was part of the launch team and was instrumental in putting together the programming for the channel. He joined SS Music in May 2001.

The Top 25 Wags of the Year (So Far)September 15, 2011
The Top 25 Wags of the Year (So Far)
With every passing year, a new influx of women grace the stands of sports arenas and populate the minds of curious fans.
While it's often difficult to keep track of all the comings and goings in the high-profile relationship world, these new WAGs have permanently cemented themselves in the upper echelon of fame.
Some crafty WAG veterans have been lucky enough to stick around from the past, while others are flaunting their fresh appeal around the sports world.
It's always refreshing to see new faces in the crowd, especially beautiful ones.
Here are the top 25 WAGs of 2011.
25. Cristina De Pin
This sexy Playboy Italia playmate seems to be in deep thought, deciding what she needs to do to garner more attention.
Fortunately for the WAG of Florentina footballer Riccardo Montolivo, all she has to do is show up.
Clearly she understands the art of posing, which is key to becoming a well-known WAG.
She's well on her way.
24. Kendra Wilkinson
While she may be known more for being one of Hugh Hefner's three girlfriends and her position in the Playboy Mansion, Kendra Wilkinson has steadily increased her reputation as an NFL WAG.
Former NFL receiver Hank Baskett may have squandered his professional career with solid, yet unspectacular production, but he caught the biggest pass of his life in this glamour model.
Put this one in the Baskett.
23. Jessica Simpson
Many fans blamed Jessica Simpson Tony Romo's poor performances while they were dating, specifically in the playoffs against the New York Giants the year the G-Men won the Super Bowl.
But if Sunday night against the New York Jets was any indication, Simpson's not the problem. If anything, Dallas fans may wish they had Simpson's beauty gracing the stands while they struggle to keep calm.
Since all the drama, Simpson and Romo have separated and moved on. Simpson is now engaged to free agent tight end Eric Johnson, who figured he had nothing to risk considering he hasn't played since 2008.
It would be a worthy risk either way.
22. Jamie Lee Darley
It's quite refreshing to see a woman who hasn't clogged the WAG lists for centuries.
English model Jamie Lee Darley certainly presents an intriguing possibility, having competed in the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Model Search.
Engaged to American soccer player Sacha Kljestan, this beauty is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with.
21. Gisele Bundchen
There are fans who may despise Tom Brady, especially Miami Dolphins fans after he racked up 517 passing yards and four touchdowns against them, but nobody can deny the prosperity of his love life.
Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, became one of the first Brazilian models to garner attention and successfully move up the chains of the modeling world.
She was labeled "The Return of the Sexy Model" by Vogue magazine in 1999, and she was known to have ended the "heroin chic" modeling era.
It doesn't get classier than that.
20. Malena Costa
Currently with Spanish footballer Carles Puyol, this Spanish super model loves to bask in the wealth, having previously dated a Spanish billionaire.
Having appeared in FHM and the 2009 Larios Calendar, Malena Costa is beginning to realize how easily she can open up fans' eyes.
Ignoring the camera is at the top of the list.
19. Abbey Clancy
Not only has this British lingerie model graced the the August 2011 cover of UK Esquire, but she was previously chosen to be in the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
Despite being the wife of England footballer Peter Crouch, Abbey Clancy has earned plenty of recognition on her own.
She was ranked No. 10 in FHM's100 sexiest women in the world poll in 2010, and she's getting better with age.
We like to call it experience.
18. Carmella DeCesare
Playboy's Miss April 2003 must have an affinity for quarterbacks who finish their careers in the UFL, as she is the wife of former NFL journeyman Jeff Garcia.
Perhaps journeyman is a misleading term, considering Garcia threw for 25,537 yards in his 11 years and 161 touchdowns (only 83 interceptions).
Of Italian and Puerto Rican descent and a former WWE Diva, Carmella DeCesare is by far her husband's greatest score.
17. Alena Seredova
This Czech model was an early bloomer, starting her illustrious career at the tender age of 15.
Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, with arguably the greatest name in soccer, took notice and married the beautiful runner-up of Miss Czech Republic 1998.
Alena Seredova represented her country at Miss World 1998, placing a respectable fourth in the finals. This led to her being featured on the covers of Penthouse Europe, Playboy Europe, Spy, Extreme and Quo.
Looking at her never gets old.
16. Yesica Toscanini
While nobody questions Argentine footballer Juan Roman Riquelme for dating this beautiful Argentinian fashion model, it is curious as to why he didn't approach illustrious fan Larissa Riquelme, as that seems like a match made in last-name heaven.
With her appearances in the 2006 and 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues, Yesica Toscanini has seemingly covered every spectrum of promotion.
She was photographed for the cover of the Argentinian edition of Cosmopolitan, appeared in the 2006 Abercrombie & Fitch catalog and played Enrique Iglesias' high school sweetheart in his single "Do You Know?"
Toscanini has only just begun.
15. Kelsi Reich
As fans know, Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are consistently in the upper echelon of the sports world, attracting attention from even their most-hated rivals.
However, seeing Kelsi Reich, once known as Derrick Holland's girlfriend, date Buffalo Bills wide receiver David Nelson causes fans to shake their heads.
At least she kept him warm during the cold Sunday nights of a 4-12 season.
14. Kim Kardashian
Not only would this be the ideal birthday card, Kim Kardashian signed her name just in case you forgot who sent it.
New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries feels like he's balling, receiving this treatment even when it's not his birthday from his famous-for-being-famous wife.
Although special occasions are the only time she will lift the cake on her own, let alone bake it.
She undoubtedly has servants for that.
13. Irina Shayk
While this Russian model is well known for her 2007 through 2011 appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, she is quickly learning that dating footballer Cristiano Ronaldo garners the most attention.
Allegedly meeting through their Armani Exchange campaigns, these two form a stellar power couple.
But with Ronaldo, this can only last so long.
12. Alessia Ventura
Known as one of Europe's ageless wonders, Italian World Cup and UEFA Champions League-winning footballer Filippo Inzaghi found a hidden gem with this Italian beauty.
Entrenched in a modeling career, Alessia Ventura found time to become the face of a sports talk show called Controcampo.
She needs the 38-year-old striker to keep her in line.
11. Lisa Dergan Podsednik
With a degree in Art History, the capability to speak Japanese fluently and an affinity for golf, model and self-made sportscaster Lisa Dergan Podsednik seems destined for greatness.
While being the wife of Philadelphia Phillies minor leaguer Scott Podsednik gets her on more than just a few WAG lists, it's her beauty and provocative swagger that gets fans excited for more.
Her husband may be remembered by Milwaukee Brewers fans for leading MLB in stolen bases in 2004 with 70, but the rest of the sports world knows him for stealing this tough base.
10. Wendy Foster
The 2010 Hooters Girl of the Year winner makes MMA fighter Matt Hamill a very happy man.
Seemingly exiting the abyss of unknown commodities, Foster is sure to garner plenty of quick attention.
Fans are surely wondering if Wendy Foster drinks Foster's.
9. Melissa Molinaro
It's no coincidence that Reggie Bush's recent girlfriend looks eerily similar to his ex, who he allegedly wanted back.
However, Canadian pop singer Melissa Molinaro is a more improved, less overplayed version of the Armenian socialite.
There are several reasons why he wants her back.
While his career continues to snowball towards mediocrity, his love life continues to blossom.
8. Jennifer Walcott
While it's easy to see why this American glamour model and actress was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month for August, 2001, it's not as clear as to how free agent NFL safety Adam Archuleta tackled this one.
However, she's not all beauty, also having an affinity for poetry.
One of her pieces of work won a statewide Reader's Digest contest.
Well done Adam.
7. Danielle Lineker
Once known as Danielle Bux, this Welsh lingerie model is married to former English footballer Gary Lineker.
After winning a place in the Miss Hawaiian Tropic contest at the age of 18, Bux began modeling, with patience leading to opportunities.
After working as a stewardess for Virgin Atlantic, she got involved in lingerie modeling, and has since graced the covers of Maxim and Fabulous.
It's safe to assume that Virgin Atlantic had the happiest travelers.
6. Dollicia Bryan
There is no computer graphic work done here, this is all Dollicia Bryan.
While Darren Sharper is "one of da most hardest hittin safeties in da league," he may be most dangerous in his love life, as he attracted this beauty with his zealous swagger.
But Greg Jennings clearly carried the team on his back and eluded the almost-unstoppable safety.
Jennings was more than pleased, almost as much as fans are with this photo.
She'd be higher on the list but rumor is she is about to leave athletes and join the WAG-friendly Kardashian Clan.
5. Soledad Fandino
This Argentine actress and model has the eyes to silence a crowd, and the body to manipulate any situation.
While she has earned Clarin Award and Martin Fierro Award nominations for her role in the television series No hay 2 sin 3, it's her relationship with Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain that earns her recognition in the sports world.
And her voluptuous stare.
4. Patrycja Mikula
This Playboy Cybergirl has not only worked with Grappling magazine, MMA Sports magazine and as a ring card girl for Ironheart Crown, but she dated mixed martial artist Andrei Arlovski and is now married to Chicago Fire soccer player Krzysztof Krol.
The spelling may be difficult, but Patrycja Mikula makes it all worth it.
3. Adriana Lima
It was clear that this Brazilian model was destined for success after she won first place in Ford's "Supermodel of Brazil" competition at 15 years old.
The wife of Serbian basketball player Marko Jaric, who last played in the NBA during the 2008-2009 season, Adriana Lima has ranked in the top five of Forbes' lists of 20 highest-earning models in the world since 2005.
In 2008, Jaric proposed to Lima on her 27th birthday. "We're not getting any younger" would've surely worked.
2. Catalina White
This American glamour model, singer and former professional wrestler worked as a Maxim model and is in the process of recording a pop album, which will certainly have a breathtaking cover.
Catalina White married WWE Wrestler Jake Hager in 2010.
Hopefully her album is called "The Catalina Fine Mixer."
1. Aida Yespica
Once the girlfriend of footballer Matteo Ferrari, who she has a son with, Venezuelan beauty queen moved to Spain and is currently in a relationship with footballer Mesut Özil.
Her career got off to a hot start. Despite losing the Miss Venezuela pageant in 2002, Aida Yespica became popular with the crowd.
She has been on the covers of GQ and Maxim.
It's easy to see why her fans fell in love.

Although LSU holds a 14-19-1 lead in the series, some of the most spectacular touchdowns have been made by Georgia Bulldogs.
Print-ready version

Discuss in Forums
The Tigers blasted Georgia 47-7 in Baton Rouge, La., on Oct. 10, 1936, went undefeated, and finished No. 2 in the final national poll. But a slender 6-foot-1, 155-pound substitute end made one of the most memorable runs in Georgia history.
This boy didn't have to play football (he was on a track scholarship) but he genuinely enjoyed the game, which he had played at Richmond Academy in Augusta.
Anyway, he picked up a loose ball after a blocked punt and displayed Olympian speed on a 65-yard sprint to the end zone.
It was no big deal for him to run with Olympian speed. Only a few weeks earlier that summer in Berlin he had won the Olympic 110-meter high hurdles, and several days later, had set the world's record of 13.7 at Oslo, Norway.
His name: Forrest Grady (Spec) Towns.
Incidentally, Towns didn't make any all-star teams during his football career at Georgia, but he just might have been the best Georgia ever had covering punts.
more Magill columns
One year he did such an outstanding job keeping Georgia Tech's punt returners bottled up that Yellow Jackets coach Bill Alexander named him to Tech's all-time opponent team.
The longest touchdown in this series occurred in 1979 in Baton Rouge, La.
Georgia's Lindsey Scott returned the second half kickoff 99 yards to pace a 24-17 victory.
But, that was only Lindsey's second greatest run.
I'd say his most important jaunt was in Jacksonville on Nov. 8, 1980, when he hauled in that fabled pass from Buck Belue and went all the way (93 yards) to keep Georgia in the quest for the national championship.
Only one of six Georgia coaches has a winning record against LSU: Harry Mehre was 0-3; Wallace Butts 4-6-1; Vince Dooley 2-2; Ray Goff 1-1; Jim Donnan 2-0; and Mark Richt 0-2.
Donnan's 1998 Bulldogs, ranked No. 12, upset the sixth-ranked Tigers 28-27 in Baton Rouge. Quincy Carter completed his first 15 passes and finished 27-for-34 for 318 yards and two touchdowns.
The next year in Athens, linebacker Will Witherspoon (now with the Carolina Panthers) was the hero. Georgia led 23-22 when LSU tried a two-point conversion pass with only 18 seconds remaining. Witherspoon leaped high to bat down the ball.
Hap Hines' three field goals and one PAT, and Patrick Pass' 58-yard scoring run accounted for Georgia's points.
