I guess the reasons why it hasn't gone any where in a while is because I'm not sure where to take it from here. I've got a lot of good ideas but I need it to be on a unix server with a mySql backend and php pumping it. It being on a windows server right now, I'm kinda limited what I can do... but I need to figure it out... At some point..

  M&M's to lose color M&M's to lose color during contest Candy maker plans to eliminate colors temporarily during marketing contest. M&M's will run a contest in 2004 which will offer six grand prizes and for a brief period strip the world famous candy of its color.

M&M's plans to phase out color in 2004 - the "official" announcement will be made on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" on ABC - in what the company is calling the biggest transformation in its 60 year history.

The company will re-introduce color four to six months into the new year by running a contest in which six bags - out of the more than 100 million in retail stores - will contain colored M&M's. Each of the six will contain M&M's of the same color - one each for red, yellow, green, blue, brown and orange.

The purchasers of those bags will receive grand prizes - yet to be determined - and that "event" will trigger the re-introduction of color, but not necessarily the same color. The company spokesman would not elaborate.

2. Blog -- Web logs have come of age and, regrettably, this lexical mutation with them.

5. Taikonaut -- The Chinese astronaut distracted our attention from textiles and copyrights to remind us that China is a rising industrial power.

6. Bushism -- This word now has a real possibility for remaining in the language. (Dan Quayle has lost his chance of making solecisms his contribution to political history.)

7. Allision -- The National Transportation and Safety Board in investigating the Staten Island ferry tragedy concluded it wasn't a collision (between two moving objects) but an allision (a crash with an immoveable object).

8. Recall -- As in California Recall that resulted in the election of Ahh-nold as the Governator.

9. Middangeard -- Middle English for Middle Earth in the movies of Tolkien's trilogy, still fascinating millions around the world with its characters and insights into the origins of the English language.

  Favre Results Favre played wonderful last night. He had one of his best games ever and an almost perfect quarterback rating. In the first half alone he was 15-17 for 311 yards and 4 touchdowns. That was amazing by itself. He finished the game 22-30 with 399 yards and a quarterback rating of 153.9. (158.3 is perfect) Some of the passes he threw were just incredible. They were the type of passes that seemed nearly unhuman. His receivers also made some incredible catches. Favre moved into second place in NFL history for touchdown passes passing Fran Tarkenton with 346 total. Oh by the way, the Packers creamed the Raiders 41-7.

The game was over by halftime but I couldn't stop watching. The game marked Favre's 188 consecutive game in a row as the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. That's every game since one in 1992 in which he offered a relief effort to lead the Packers to victory over the Bengals. This is a truly remarkable streak. Favre has played through pain in his career but never pain like this. It was an honor to watch this man battle adversity and kick its ass in the process. I respect you like none other.

  I Feel Really Bad For Brett Favre Favre's father died unexpectantly yesterday while driving and tonight Brett is playing on Monday Night Football in Oakland against the Raiders. That really really sucks and I send him my sympathies and regards.

He is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game and I have seen him do some completely crazy stuff on the field.

Be extremely happy with what you have.

Well, maybe they didn't exactly cream the Bucs... but they were creaming them. It got a little hairy at the end, but.. They did beat them!

A tough task and a goal of this team this year was to overcome the Bucs stronghold on them and they have risen to that challenge. They beat the Bucs, officially knocking them out of the playoffs and increasing the hope for next year!

Good job boys!

  The History of Bagels According to legend, the world's first bagel was produced in 1783 as a
tribute to Jan Sobieski, King of Poland. The king, a renowned horseman,
had just saved the people of Austria from an onslaught by Turkish
invaders. In gratitude, a local baker shaped yeast dough into the shape
of stirrup to honor him and called it the Austrian word for stirrup,
beugel. The roll soon became a hit throughout Eastern Europe. Over time,
its shape evolved into a circle with a hole in the center and its named
was converted to its modern form, bagel.

1880s -- Hundreds of thousands of Eastern European Jews emigrated to
America, bringing with them a love for bagels. New York City vendors
used the bagel's hole-in-the-middle shape to their merchandising
advantage by threading them onto dowels and selling them on street
corners throughout the city.

1907 -- The International Bagel Bakers Union was founded in New York
City. Only sons of union members could be apprenticed to learn the
secrets of bagel baking in order to safeguard the culinary art.

1927 -- Polish baker Harry Lender opened the first bagel plant outside
New York City in New Haven, Conn. The bagel's popularity began to spread
in the United States.

1960s -- Bagel production skyrocketed as machines capable of producing
200 to 400 bagels per hour were popularized and the tradition of
hand-forming bagels virtually vanished.

1987 -- Bagels made their way into mainstream America, sold around the
country in grocery stores and listed as standard items on fast food
menus.

1988 -- Americans were eating an average of one bagel per month.

1993 -- American bagel consumption doubled to an average of one bagel
every two weeks.

1997 -- Schnucks' Nancy Anne Bakery introduced 17 bagels reformulated to
match the special tastes and texture desires of Midwesterners, along
with six cream cheese spreads, four types of bagel melts and eight bagel
sandwiches.

22Dec2003 -- Clement Hill, of the Eden Corporation, brings in bagels for
all employees to share.  ¶ 12/22/2003 09:14:00 AM 0 comments

  Dave and Trey drink Bathtub Gin Trey Anastasio has started to incorporate several Phish staples into Dave Matthews and Friends’ setlist. Along with Brady Blade, Tony Hall, Ray Paczkowski and Tim Reynolds, Trey has been touring behind Dave’s recent solo release, Some Devil, since December 12th.

During the first two nights of their tour, Dave and Trey traded off vocals on Billy Preston’s “Will it Go Round in Circles.” The often-covered song was a staple on Trey’s 1999 spring tour and was covered by Phish the following Fall. Last Tuesday, Trey also offered an acoustic rendition of “Waste” from Phish’s 1996 album Billy Breaths. Dave is familiar with that particular Phish song, having covered it on the Mockingbird Foundation’s Sharing in the Groove: A Tribute to Phish and regularly during Dave Matthews Band performances.

Finally, last Wednesday, Trey and Dave played a stripped down version of “Bathtub Gin” at Madison Square Garden, similar to the arrangement of the Lawn Boy cut offered on Trey’s solo tours. While Trey tackled most of the song’s lyrics, Dave did join in for a few verses, culminating with the arena audience humming the song's melody sans the band. Trey continued to tease “Bathtub Gin” during a show-closing version of Led Zeppelin’s “Fool in the Rain.”

Along with material written by Dave and Trey, “The Friends” offer a wide array of covers. Some choice tributes include the Beatles’ “Hey Bulldog,” Little Feat’s “Spanish Moon,” and Peter Gabriel’s “Solsbury Hill.” Before collaborating on Some Devil, Dave and Trey last performed together on May 19th, 2001 at Pacific Bell Park, San Francisco, California, when Trey sat in on “Lie in Our Graves.”  ¶ 12/20/2003 07:17:00 AM 0 comments

  Kobe wins it at buzzer!

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- With the game tied and the ball in Kobe Bryant's hands, the Denver Nuggets knew they were in trouble.

The Nuggets erased all of a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but Bryant beat them with a 21-foot jumper at the buzzer, giving the Los Angeles Lakers a 101-99 victory Friday night after Bryant arrived late from a court hearing in Colorado.

"It's just greatness," Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik said. "We knew he would ball fake, he always does. But he made the shot. That's why he's great."

Bryant took the inbounds pass from Devean George, drove left, pump-faked defender Jon Barry off his feet and sank the winning jumper from the top of the key before falling on his rear end. He was mobbed by teammates, and the crowd that had welcomed him with a loud ovation at the start of the second quarter went wild.

  Headed to Hawaii Atlanta Falcons LB Keith Brooking and TE Alge Crumpler were named to the NFC’s Pro Bowl squad according to an announcement by the NFL on Thursday.



It represents the third consecutive appearance in the Pro Bowl for Brooking and the first for Crumpler. It also marks the third consecutive year the Falcons will have representation in the Pro Bowl.

After becoming just the fifth Falcons player ever to record more than 200 tackles (212) in a season in 2002, Brooking continued his outstanding play in 2003, accounting for 173 combined tackles, including 105 unassisted stops. Brooking has led the team in tackles nine times in 2003, including a season-high 18 tackles at New Orleans (Nov. 16), and he has also registered double-digits in tackles 11 times. Brooking has started the last 46 games at linebacker for the Falcons, including all 14 this season despite suffering a back injury in the first meeting vs. New Orleans (Oct. 19).

In his first season as a full-time starter, Crumpler has had the best season of his three-year career, setting personal bests in receptions (40), receiving yards (519) and single-game receiving yards (94, at Dallas, Sept. 7). He also tied his single-game career-best of five receptions two times in 2003. Crumpler’s 40 receptions for 519 yards are the most for a Falcons tight end since Junior Miller had 56 receptions for 574 yards in 1980.

Congrats Keith and Alge!!!  ¶ 12/18/2003 04:13:00 PM 0 comments

  Cancel That. So I walked around the mall aimlessly last night for a couple hours to start my holiday shopping. I suprised myself and came up with several good ideas but still have some holes to fill. There was this nice *thing* that I wanted to get for my aunt and I thought the *thing* was on sale but the cashier girl said that the sign referred to other like *things* but not exactly that *thing*. She said, "Is that okay?".. and I said, "yeah, Cancel that". A bunch of other things were too chincy for me to buy as a gift. Chincy is my new favorite word. It's a cross between cheap and crappy. I did well finding useful gifts but I still have a little ways to go. If anyone has anyideas on what I should get for my mom or sister let me know.  ¶ 12/18/2003 09:02:00 AM 0 comments

  Wipe your shoes on the way in Man It's so funny... I turn on the option in the REZI board to let guests in and to let them posts and not more than 4 hours later some asshole posts this negative crap

Subject: Why do you suck?
"Do you ever get the feeling that your band is going nowhere? Do you ever get the feeling that you are WASTING TIME? Do you ever want to play shows outside of UPSTATE NEW YORK?? Then QUIT rezi and JOIN the NAVY losers!! Your songs are like kindergarten tunes, and everyone in the band SUCKS. PLEASE QUIT. If you haven't figured it out yet, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR BAND. Try CAMEL FILTERS!!"
Mr. Phillip Morris

I've just come up with some responses to his questions because they weren't immediately addressed. We will refer to the poster as pfr.. short for what he said his name was. or hers.

Why do you suck?
---well pfr id like to answer that question but the sole reason for why their is suckage is purely because of the reason for which suck exists in the first place. and that my friend is a question id like you to anser, oh! creator of all that is suckage, you

Do you ever get the feeling that your band is going nowhere?
---well pfr i think you need to first declare what you mean by "nowhere". nowhere as in no where physically? yeah i think not. nowhere as in somewhere? yeah, i think so. or excuse me, i feel so.

Do you ever get the feeling that you are WASTING TIME?
--yes. what was it that you just did?

Do you ever want to play shows outside of UPSTATE NEW YORK??
--last i checked rezi has played in places outside of upstate new york. in january they will appear in north carolina for their second time. also, the reason why many shows are in upstate ny is simple. rezi is still in college. a fanbase is needed. we are building a fanbase in upstate ny, and then going from there. and to be honest, its a pretty good sized fan base and that makes everyone happy

Then QUIT rezi and JOIN the NAVY losers!!
---Oh, I didnt know that was the goal?

Your songs are like kindergarten tunes,
---Yeah, I dont know. It's been a while. Could you refresh me on that one?

and everyone in the band SUCKS.
---and thats like, your opinion, man.

PLEASE QUIT.
---so what, you can take over?

If you haven't figured it out yet, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR BAND.
---I'm not in the band. I care. and many other people do too. Obviously you are misguided and dont have the facts.

Try CAMEL FILTERS!!
---um, no thanks. Cigarettes are so gross. If you haven't noticed, and obviously you havent by the tone of your voice, cigarettes are on the way out. Remember when you thought they were cool? Well, thas a thing of the past.. They fucking suck.

  The Blue Line Reindeer

WASHINGTON - This wasn't the typical subway fare jumper. A videotape released Monday by Metrorail, Washington's mass transit system, shows a deer running through a train station as startled passengers watch.

"We've named him Rudolph the Blue Line Reindeer," Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said.

The video shows the deer walking around the mezzanine at the Addison Road-Seat Pleasant station in Maryland, running down an escalator, then darting down the platform past a waiting train. The animal then jumped onto the tracks, avoiding the electrified third rail, and headed off into the woods surrounding the aboveground station, Farbstein said. link

  Dear Arthur Blank: I'd like to officially announce my candidacy to you as the future Atlanta Falcons Head Coach. I feel that I am fully qualified for the job. I know a lot about football and believe I have a great understanding of how the team should be built to usher in the new and exciting phase of Falcon football. I have used my playbook in several real-game situations and it has proved to be successful each time. I have some great things in mind to further Michael Vick's ability and improve upon his already impressive base set of skills. I respect the job that Dan Reeves has done to get the team to the level that it has come to and I have several ideas on how to proceed from here. I can't disclose all of these ideas, here, in this medium because I am afraid that potential competitiors Nick Saban and Lovie Smith could capitalize on my ideas and take advantage of their public knowledge. Trust me, they are not public knowledge. I have it all planned out. It's certain to be successfull. Again, I have spent many years watching football at the high school, college, and professional level. Please contact me to talk about specifics regarding when I can come for an interview. I am the right man for the job.  ¶ 12/12/2003 11:56:00 AM 0 comments

  Live from the site. This message comes to you directly from the gov't building i'm working on.
The day is basically over.
I'm re-replacing the design of their to-be-live-db tomorrow, today to make sure the changes take. And they just did. Good.
Great.

I'm in the capitol of the land. I took some pics early this morning of the capitol building and washington monument. Will have those later. Hope everything is well with you. The metro is suprisingly easy to use.

Good day chaps.  ¶ 12/09/2003 04:08:00 PM 0 comments

  Pollock Print

This is the Jim Pollock print from the 20th Anniversary Show at the Fleet Center in Boston, MA. The poster was being sold at the show for 50 dollars. There was a huge demand for it and the line to acquire the poster was extremely long. A bunch of people collect these posters and they are often sold on Ebay for 4 times their original price.

I haven't bought any.  ¶ 12/04/2003 11:00:00 AM 0 comments
