Space Shuttle Endeavor Will Launch this Friday for the Last Time

-
The Space Shuttle Endeavor is scheduled to make its final flight into space this Friday, with a launch scheduled for 3:47 p.m. This is also the second to last launch for the space shuttle, as NASA is bringing the space shuttle program to an end after more than 30 years.

Commanding this mission will be Captain Mark Kelly of the U.S. Navy. His wife, wounded Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, will be in attendance to watch this historic launch. Joining her at Cape Canaveral will be President Barack Obama, several other members of Congress, and an estimated 40,000 other spectators.

Needless to say, I will be glued to my television set this Friday afternoon for this space shuttle launch. Every launch is impressive, in my opinion. This one, however, will be extra special because Ms. Giffords's ordeal following her shooting in Tuscon this past January and the fact that this will be the last launch for Endeavor.

Godspeed to the Endeavor and her crew.

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.

James Hunt James Hunt  was the Formula One champion in back 1976 - a time long before I was paying any attention to either women or cars. According to a new biography by Tom Rubython , during a two week binge while in Tokyo that year, James Hunt and his friend Barry Sheene  each had sex with thirty three different flight attendants. And yes, that's thirty three women each. Over the course of fourteen days. An average of a little more than two stewardesses per day. James Hunt and Barry Sheene set the bar high (or low) for an outstanding summer vacation.
