 * Switch to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming:
 * wp-content/themes/admired
 * to:
 * wp-content/themes/admired-old
 * using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   application your host provides. That should get back into your site again and
   allow you to try downloading a fresh copy of the chosen theme.

 * line 411 in [functions.php](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/admired/1.2.1/functions.php)
   of Admired Theme is the last line and looks like
    `?>`
 * Check via FTP if there `>` sign in the line. May be you lost it during editing.
   
   You also can upload default functions.php instead of edited into the theme folder.
   May be this is better if you are not familiar with PHP.
