It will be the year that Houston regretted taking in Katrina evacuees. Crime shot up since then!!

Yeah, this lady is a crook!! Hope she gets at least 5-10yrs.

Also, cut your own yard. That can save you over $500 a year. Or, you can hire someone to do the yard work on a call basis.

As of today, i would want this. Tomorrow i would probably want something else..

The batmobile!!

Did anyone listen to this in the 80s? I was trying to find a good site out there that lists some titles of songs that i have forgotten. Thanks.

I remember hearing this song at club 6400 the first time i went in there. It was the mixed dance version though.

Screw Comcast, i'm switching to DirectTV. Cheaper and more HD stations!!!

The Chicago Tribune has ZERO editorial influence on channel 39. Most of the people at the paper don't even know that 39 exists. Heck, the Tribune doesn't even exert editorial influence on co-owned WGN-TV which is just 13 miles away from the paper. The two entities are in very different branches of the company (Tribune Publishing vs. Tribune Broadcasting). The paper doesn't even mess with CLTV (24-hour cable news channel), which it owns, and is part of the publishing division, and is even located in a Tribune Publishing office building.

The same can be said for Belo. As much as I like to bash 11News, the Dallas Morning News has nothing to do whatsoever with its operation. As stated above, most local broadcasters don't have the time to think about stuff like that. They're just churning out the news so they can collect a paycheck and go home at the end of the day.

TV news sounds glamorous, but it's really very much like working in a plastic fork factory.

So true, if you watch your local news, they just regurgitate the news from the AP wires, etc.

Oh yeah, there are plenty of buddhist temples and gatherings in Houston.

We didn't really deserve to win the game. We played 3 horrible quarters. Things will get better though. I really feel that this team would've gone 9-7 w/o all the major injuries this year. Oh well. I felt before the season started that we should've seeked a trade for Adrian Peterson by giving up Mario Williams. We should've at least given Dominick Davis a shot in training camp, but he wasn't even invited to camp.

I think i might want to check this out!! Thanks for info.

I might want to add also about car wrecks. Please keep driving and don't come to an almost complete stop to gawk at an accident scene. Especially, if the wreck is on the other side of the freeway!

Because waving to other drivers isn't part of the traffic code. Yielding requirements are rule-driven, not an matter of courtesy. If you are at a stop sign first, or if you are on the right, then you have the right of way. It's not a politeness contest. It drives me nuts when drivers violate the rules in an attempt to be friendly and courteous. It is safer all around if people just go by the book.

I guess it should be considered courtesy for following the law. Drivers on the feeder roads never pay attention to those yield signs on their left and their right as the freeway offramp merges into their lanes.

Why do alot of drivers here don't wave to thank other motorists yielding for them ? Houstonians keep bragging about how friendly and courteous they are, but they sure don't act like it. Oh...stop throwing things out of the car while driving when there are other cars behind you in the streets or highways. I don't care if it is a cigarette(use your ashtray),plastic cups, etc. or whatever, show some respect!!!

It is not employees riding for free, but soon the employees will find a way to get their entire family and friends riding for free. That is the real problem!

I've noticed the traffic is even worse in the past 2 weeks when they actually widened the lanes between First colony before the Grand Parkway exit. It goes to 4 lanes after First Colony before going back to 2 lanes about a mile before the Grand Parkway exit. Isn't traffic suppose to be better? In the past with the construction, it has been 2 lanes and the traffic was at least moving smoother and faster, but with the temporary 4 lanes, it has gotten worse. F*** up big time!! Gee, i wonder when people start moving into the Telfair area, how much worse it will be. Bad times ahead!!

One thing i've learned is that no one truly owns a home. Even if you pay finish paying your mortgage or paid your house in cash, but don't pay your property taxes or HOA dues, you will still lose your house...lol

the one that deserves the least is Christ the Redeemer

The Great Wall of China is the greatest structure to have been built. 1,500 miles is just incredible.

There is talk by the city of Houston and Sugarland with regard to speed light cameras. They want to send you tickets in the mail for speeding just like they are doing for red light cameras. Anyone have more info on this?

I guess it must have been more serious for people watching it on the field becuz from the video that you just posted, it didn't seem bad at all. Looked more like a little physical horseplay, but i wasn't down there that closeup. If you notice the part where the UH cheerleaders were kinda laughing when the two first got into it, then they pushed the Duck away.

We do not have another chance for years to come and I imagine more houstonians adapting to mass transit as we grow. I mean if we hosted the super bowl again this year think what out of towner's would think. H-TOWN changed alot with New freeways toll roads, and more light rail and brt stops. I believe we will have an extensive system(mass transit) by the time if we even our considered a finalist for Olympics. if ATL can do it we know Houston could do it.

During the Superbowl, many out of towners were willing to pay thousands of dollars to rent out apartments, condos, etc, near Reliant center because they knew traveling to the stadium would be a mess during the superbowl. My friend lives in an apartment complex near Reliant and told me during the superbowl week, Janet Jackson's posse lived in his complex. Jermaine Dupree was also living there. F few residents rented out their apartments for like 8-9k during the weekend.

Obviously not.

I'm suggesting that the lack of an existing, substancial, mass transit system (rail) that could handle an influx of hundreds of thousands of visitors is one of the reasons this city is often overlooked.

I agree with you 100%. This is probably the real reason Houston will never get an Olympics game. Until they do, Houston can keep dreaming.

It was about time that they get canned! Bad decisions!
