SAGITTARIUS Horoscope
March 2015 ...
The busiest area in your solar chart is that representing leisure and pleasure. Here you have Venus, the ultimate pleasure magnet, plus passionate Mars. The Venusian benefits are obvious wherever connected to arts and entertainment, creative expression and affairs of the heart. The accent has to be on adopting a more spontaneous, in the moment approach, remembering that you only live once. You're really tapping into those Dionysian energies over the first week as tactile Venus supportively aligns with your ruling planet Jupiter.
While Venus greatly supports your relationships and social life, plus can also make travel an enjoyable adventure, Mars is more physically orientated. Sporting hobbies and performance are also enhanced while the red planet rules and especially the period from the 8th to 12th. Sagittarians born mid-sign can be the big winners here. There may also be family benefits attached or some gain through home or property. March is an ideal month for property improvement, and even sales.
The Sun spends the first three weeks in the area associated with home and family affairs. It will finish with a Solar Eclipse on the 20th. Eclipses represent change times – completions that make way for new beginnings. This makes March the ideal time for a fresh start when it comes to living conditions or marking family changes. There may be some important decisions coming up for birthdays from mid December on.
If you're November born you currently have self sufficient Saturn moving across, or close to, your birth Sun. Saturn brings a new set of responsibilities to the table. Often you may be assuming a more senior or responsible position, or making a long-term commitment. Take your time with Saturn, don't rush the issue, or expect instant results. You are working with the lord of time, where cool heads prevail and realistic attitudes are essential.
Family planning, activities
involving children and association involvement with younger people etc
is greatly facilitated now. It also helps you tap into your own fountain
of youth. For new relationships and family affairs also note the lunar
periods below.

wongs is a lot better place to eat at, compared to some of the places in Oklahoma City, get ready to spend some money at wrongs, but it is worth it.
I would give this establishment a 5 star, plus!!! The food is always fresh. They do have a buffet, but only on certain days and times, so call about that. I enjoy their chicken chow mein and their lemon chicken and their egg rolls. Those egg rolls are super yummy! The buffet is excellent, but even if you are ordering...
The server came quickly and took our drink orders and brought them back quickly. We ordered the number 1 for three people. The egg roll and one fried shrimp came out first. Are you kidding me, one lonely fried shrimp! After several minutes the other dishes came out. Fried rice, egg fooyoung, chicken chow mien, sweet and sour pork. All...
We have eaten here before many years ago and made a return trip to visit friends. I will say the orange chicken I ordered was tasty but if it was chicken it was very dry and tough as shoe leather to chew. It tasted as though it had been on the lunch buffet and warmed over to serve again. May...
We were driving east from CA on the second day of our drive. Had hotel reservations in Weatherford, but wanted to find some good food before we arrived. Checked on eating places in Elk City and Clinton. I called Wong's and asked for directions. He told me which exit off 40 he thought it was (it's exit 65a). He was...
We went with a big family. We had horrible service and the food was worst then that. We will never eat there again
Tried to book no 1 eatery but fully booked so turned up here to find a rammed restaurant, always a good sign. Soon seated, extensive menu, excellent service and food. Good to have a change after a week of American fare. To be recommended. Very efficient, won tons home cooked!
Great food at a reasonable price. Their specialty is Asian but their Americn selections are tasty too. If your going to eat off the buffet you will want to go earlier than I did. (1:45 PM)
My wife and I eat there as often as we can, probably 2-3 times a month.
2nd time we've "gone rogue" while traveling. I must admit that the first time (CO) was a better experience. The food was good, however it is a small place & to step into a small restaurant & its so dark is undesirable. I was also hoping for some special Asian-tasting tea, but rather got the "Lipton's" variety ice tea &...
This place was just as advertised and we had a great meal there. The food was fresh, not laced with too much MSG, and the service was real good as well. Both meals ordered were tasty and the soup and egg rolls were yummy as well. Wish we had this place back home because we would go often.

After viewing all the twin fleece blankets, I chose this item because Kenyon also makes polyester clothing for those people who work out, run, walk, etc. I think their products are excellent, and well worth the price. I was not at all disappointed with this purchase. Kenyon is great!
A beautiful soft blanket that is wearing well. Polartec makes very good fleece, and I look for it in my fleece purchases.

The NKF-NUS hemodialysis trial protocol - a randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of a self management intervention for hemodialysis patients
1 Department of Psychology, National University of Singapore, 9 Arts Link AS402/28, Singapore
2 National Kidney Foundation, Kim Keat Road, Singapore
3 Unit of Behavioural Medicine, Riding House Street, University College London, UK
4 Health Services Research Group, City University, College Building Room A224 St John Street, London, UK
BMC Nephrology 2011, 12:4 doi:10.1186/1471-2369-12-4Published: 28 January 2011
Poor adherence to treatment is common in patients on hemodialysis which may increase risk for poor clinical outcomes and mortality. Self management interventions have been shown to be effective in improving compliance in other chronic populations. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a recently developed group based self management intervention for hemodialysis patients compared to standard care.
This is a multicentre parallel arm block randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a four session group self management intervention for hemodialysis patients delivered by health care professionals compared to standard care. A total of 176 consenting adults maintained on hemodialysis for a minimum of 6 months will be randomized to receive the self management intervention or standard care. Primary outcomes are biochemical markers of clinical status and adherence. Secondary outcomes include general health related quality of life, disease-specific quality of life, mood, self efficacy and self-reported adherence. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, immediately post-intervention and at 3 and 9 months post-intervention by an independent assessor and analysed on intention to treat principles with linear mixed-effects models across all time points. A qualitative component will examine which aspects of program participants found particularly useful and any barriers to change.
The NKF-NUS intervention builds upon previous research emphasizing the importance of empowering patients in taking control of their treatment management. The trial design addresses weaknesses of previous research by use of an adequate sample size to detect clinically significant changes in biochemical markers, recruitment of a sufficiently large representative sample, a theory based intervention and careful assessment of both clinical and psychological endpoints at various follow up points. Inclusion of multiple dependent variables allows us to assess the broader impact on the intervention including both hard end points as well as patient reported outcomes. This program, if found to be effective, has the potential to be implemented within the existing renal services delivery model in Singapore, particularly as this is being delivered by health care professionals already working with hemodialysis patients in these settings who are specifically trained in facilitating self management in renal patients.

As much as we enjoy our modern luxuries, there's something about Jane Austen's era that keeps us coming back for more. It seems a simpler, less harried, and more genteel time, and especially around the holidays that may truly appeal. What would the Christmas season have been like for the author herself? Stephanie Barron imagines exactly that in Jane and the Twelve Days of Christmas, but she also throws in a dead body or two. No need to worry that our heroine will swoon; the very qualities that make her a keen observer of character also lend themselves to identifying motive, and she is no stranger to inquests, this being her twelfth mystery. Exquisite historical detail and hints of characters that will come to be make this a gift-wrapped read for any self-respecting Janeite.

Movies and TV: Accused, Series 1 & 2
In a brilliant inversion of crime drama tropes, International Emmy Award winner Accused reveals the unlikely perpetrator in the first moments of the episode. What we don't know is what was done or why. Each story begins with a prisoner awaiting his or her verdict, and then we are dropped into an earlier seemingly ordinary day in the accused's life. It isn't, of course. Unfolding events reveal a tipping point at which a situation spun out of control. What could turn an average citizen into a criminal awaiting a verdict? No two answers are the same, and neither is the degree of guilt. Boasting spectacular performances by a Who's Who of British character actors, Accused is provocative television at its finest.
Fiction: Drone by Mike Maden
The President of the United States of America, Margaret Myers, has just learned her son along with a dozen other American civilians was murdered in Mexico. Having won her presidency on the platform of no new warfare, yet determined to seek justice, Myers must think outside of the box in this delicate and deadly situation. Just outside of the box is Troy Pearce, CEO of the private security firm Pearce Systems and a leader in drone technology. A former CIA SOG, Pearce has extensive training, but this job might be harder than even he can handle. Building in intensity, Drone by Mike Maden gives readers a sweeping look at military technology and the intricacies of politics in this suspenseful techno-thriller.
Book Discussion Questions: The Pale Blue Eye by Louis Bayard
Title: The Pale Blue Eye
Author: Louis Bayard
Page Count: 412 pages
Genre: Historical Mystery
Tone: Plot-driven, literary, intricate
Summary from publisher:
At West Point Academy in 1830, the calm of an October evening is shattered by the discovery of a young cadet's body swinging from a rope. The next morning, an even greater horror comes to light. Someone has removed the dead man's heart. Augustus Landor—who acquired some renown in his years as a New York City police detective—is called in to discreetly investigate. It's a baffling case Landor must pursue in secret, but he finds help from an unexpected ally—a moody, young cadet with a penchant for drink, two volumes of poetry to his name, and a murky past that changes from telling to telling named Edgar Allan Poe.
These book discussion questions are highly detailed and will ruin plot points if you have not read the book.
1. Was Poe what you expected? Did his character fit with what you already knew? Did Poe's character surprise you at all?
2. Did you ever suspect or doubt Poe?
3.Did you trust Poe's accounts? Did he embellish? Was he objective?
4.What would the story have been without Poe? Why include him? Is it a gimmick? A distraction? Is the narrative better for his inclusion? Is the story more about the mystery/investigation or more about Poe?
5. Are Landor and Poe well-matched? Do they complement each other? Are they good or bad for each other?
6. Why do you think Landor and Poe "clicked" so quickly and well?
7. Why did West Point bring Landor in? What does this reveal about the culture of West Point and about Landor? What was his style as an investigator?
8. In the development of the story, were you curious about Landor's backstory? His private life? Was this changed at the end? In retrospect, were the clues laid?
9. Turning our attention to other characters, what did you make of Mr. Allan?
10. What do you make of each one of the Marquis family?
11. What is the significance of "the pale blue eye"? To whom does it first refer to? How about later in the story?
12. What is the allusion to Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart"?
13. Did the solution/revelation surprise you? Was this a satisfactory mystery?
14. What did you notice about the writing and the language? Were there times Poe/Bayard tried too hard, was too flowery, was too indirect, or did you appreciate the expressiveness, the images evoked?
15. Did the juxtaposition of language/poetry with the grisly mystery work or did it clash? Did the pacing seem uneven or not?
16. Did the historical details ring true? Were they well-chosen?
17. Is it believable that Poe would keep the secret? Do you believe he was behind Stoddard's death?
18. Does Poe's ordeal give him reason/foundation for rest of life's writing?
19. Would Poe have approved of this story? Is it like him?
20. To what kind of reader would you recommend this book to?

In the not-too-distant future, the world changes because of a virus. Those most affected with Haden's Syndrome become "locked in" to their own bodies, unable to move or physically react to any stimulus. Sufferers contribute to society via the use of threeps, android-like models that offer mobility and interaction with the rest of the population. They can even hold jobs, and Chris Shane is starting his first week as an FBI agent. Lock In by John Scalzi is witty science fiction in the guise of corporate thriller. As Shane and his partner puzzle out a series of seemingly politically motivated deaths, they are faced with both the intriguing possibilities and the unthinkable dangers of this brave new world.
Audiobook: Crashed by Timothy Hallinan
Imagine you are a less-than-legit businessperson and you need someone who is smart, resourceful, and willing to operate outside the law to investigate some internal sabotage. You'll also need to ensure that this individual can be controlled. What do you do? If you are Trey Annunziato, you set up one of the best career burglars in an interrupted robbery of a dangerously "connected" family and then blackmail him into helping you keep your new adult movie venture on schedule. Crashed is the first of Timothy Hallinan's Junior Bender series, and Peter Berkrot's reading brings every wisecracking, dangerous moment to life. As Junior tries to keep worse trouble for himself at bay, he develops a soft spot for the former child star he's supposed to be pushing into a questionable career choice. Donald Westlake fans will enjoy the schemes, and listeners will no doubt want to hear more of Bender's voice.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Arizona State's Chris Young named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week
On Monday, Arizona State linebacker Chris Young was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for his play in ASU's 38-33 win over UCLA Saturday.
The senior from Seattle, Wash., had a huge fourth quarter to help the Sun Devils fend off the Bruins' comeback attempt. Young had two sacks in the final frame, three overall, including a big one on third down with UCLA in the red zone. He led the game with 13 tackles, 12 solo, and had the game-ending tackle that clinched the Pac-12 South for Arizona State.
It's Young's first time receiving the honor this season, but the second straight week a Sun Devil has earned the conference's defensive player of the week. Five Arizona State players have been honored in total in 2013.
The offensive player of the week went to Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey, who set multiple school-records in the Wildcats' upset of Oregon. UCLA's Ishmael Adams received the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors, as he racked up 234 return yards against the Sun Devils.

Amor de Lacquer: My nail designs…spotted on Twitter!
Welcome to another post of Amor de Lacquer….the series all about nail polish and nail care! Send me your requests, suggestions and ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com.
[NOTE: All photos were taken by the camera on my Blackberry.]
Lately I have been playing around with some nail designs. This happens to me every few months or so. I would love to go all crazy and rock Skittles nails all day everyday but the reality is, my profession (ugh, I hate being an adult….seriously) forces me to be rather conservative in the nail polish/design department. No fair!! But that doesn't stop me from trying to sneak a little va-voom on my nails. Even if it is only one one nail.
For this look, I am rocking Zoya's Rea with a quick dash of Zoya's Jacy. I love love loooove how Zoya's Rea looks. It is a gorgeous foil-y plum with silver bombs all up and through it. Jacy, a jelly, gives me that extra bit of glam without going overboard. I thought this look was rather work/church safe.
Total weekend look! Dark nails are unexpected in the summer. And that's just the kind of lady I am…unexpected. Diamond Cosmetics' Plum Pie in the Sky with a dash of Diamond Cosmetics' Berry Sweet is a slammin' weekend mani.
Ah yesss, this may be one of my favorite random designs ever. Lavender purple nails with a spot of green. Quite spring-y, uh? Orly's Mint Mojito with a splash of Orly's Cashmere Cardigan. I decided to go with the french mani on the ring finger because, well…..no reason, really. I was playing around and that's where I ended up! Michelle from All Lacquered Up even gave me props on that mani. You know I died, right?
Now this mani is about a month old or so but I am seriously thinking about re-doing it; but adding some nicer touches to it. I struggled with the design on this one. It looks rather amateur but a round 2 should really set it off! China Glaze's Sky High Top with a splash of China Glaze's Tree Hugger are probably two of my FAVORITE blues and greens. I mean….ever.
I am STILL doing cartwheels over Nubar's Going Green collection. I did this mani shortly after reviewing the collection. That delicious Reclaim dominates the scene will Wildfire makes a guest appearance on the ring (haha, that rhymes). I topped it off with a pink flower nail decal from Fing'rs (stay tuned for reviews!). The sticker gives it a nice touch but let's be honest, Reclaim really steals the show.
If you follow me on Twitter, you never know what I may twitpic..my sister's darling new Mali-poo puppy, sneak peeks of upcoming mascara reviews, behind the scenes shots at events, my travels, yummy raw/vegan dishes…..you just never knowwww.
Tweet ya lata!
Your fellow nail polish junkie,
Zoya's Summer 2009 Oh-La-La Collection
Welcome to another post of Amor de Lacquer….the series all about nail polish and nail care! Send me your requests, suggestions and ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I am finally getting around to reviewing the other collection from Zoya's Summer 2009 collections. Remember Oh La-La? I loved that collection. Hot bright neon's with personalities. I am still in love with Paz.
Oh-La-La, I think, is for the average nail polish wearer. There are a few colors that are for us crazy nail polish fiends but for the most part, this collection is a little subdued compared to La-Di-Da. There are a very stars, though!
Katy is described as bright fuchsia pink with blue/purple shimmer. I know for a fact that there are many colors like this. But that doesn't stop me from liking Katy. I consider this to be a pretty "safe" color and I felt like I had to add some glitter to really make this baby pop.
Hey there, Emme! I have never been a fan of pinks like this. Just not my style. But she is pretty nonetheless with a nice shiny finish–even without a top coat!
Goldie. Just how fitting is this name for this polish? Goldie is gold alright! I actually like this gold which is shocking because I have never really been fan of gold polishes. But this one isn't so bad. I rocked it on my toes for awhile and loved it.
Now we're gettin' somewhere! I love Ginessa! I have always loved silver polishes and the fact that this one has some micro-glitter in it, well….I love it even more! I mean, check out the bottle! I've been using this baby like crazy. While all of the other polishes took 2 coats, Ginessa demanded 3.
I love blue nail polishes! Tallulah is rockin'. It almost reminds me of Zoya's Tart but nope, Tart is slightly darker. I think I like Tallulah better. It just looks stunning in person.
[RANDOM] I wish my middle finger would hurry up and grow because it looks crazy funny next to my other nails. I like Midori! I really like greens that have creme finishes but I can deal with this one. I rocked this one on the toes for awhile too. It looks amazing in the sun.
I didn't endure any problems with these kids. Katy's brush was little wonky. A few of the hairs were longer than the others. Which made for tough application. I used two coats for each, except for Ginessa which, I think, looks better with three.
Must haves in this collection? Ginessa, Tallulah and Midori.
Buy these and more for $6/bottle at Zoya.com.
What do you think? Own any of these? Want 'em or not so much?
Your fellow nail polish junkie,
Amor de Lacquer: Zoya's Summer 2009 La-Di-Da Collection
Welcome to another post of Amor de Lacquer….the series all about nail polish and nail care! Send me your requests, suggestions and ideas to email@example.com.
Leave it to my nails to start acting a fool around the time these fabulous Summer nail polish collections are being released! I have been breaking nails left and right which has been making swatching virtually impossible. I have managed to grow them out so I can finally show off 1 of 2 Zoya Summer 2009 collections. Brace yourself…these polishes are so not for the weak!
But first…let's have a photoshoot with the sexy six.
Note: Photographing neon polishes is craaaazy difficult. These polishes are a lot more vibrant in real life. My photos do not do them justice.
First up, Renee. This color is described as an ultra bright pink and honey…it is just that. I know this photo makes it look like it is a "safe for work" pink but it really isn't. In real life is it is bold and the perfect summer pedi color.
'ello there Pippa! Yep yep….it's another yellow. Yellow nail polish is SO the color of the season. Pippa ain't too shabby. As with most yellows, I endure some kind of application issues, but I didn't have a problem with this one. And it only took two coats with minimal streaks. Loves it!
Say hello to my favorite polish out of the bunch. Paz is seriously the brightest color I have EVER seen. This ultra-bright neon orange polish had to force its way off of my toes. I rocked this on my toes for a good two weeks before it started to chip. If there is one color you need from this collection, this one would be it. It dries with a matte finish but with a good top coat, you can literally blind people with your toes. Seriously…
Dita is a soft dark pink berry creme. In my opinion this is the most "average" color of the bunch. Non nail polish wearin' folx….this one is for you. Long gone are the days when colors like Dita make me swoon. Dita topped with glitter, however…..
America! I love the name of this polish. I mean…this is the ultimate red. I'm not a fan of red polishes but I can get down with this one. The creme finish is absolutely flawless. This is the kind of red that I wasn't allowed to wear as a little girl. Wait—was I the only one who couldn't wear red polishes until high school? LOL!
It's my second favorite color of the bunch! Heyyyyy Ali! This color is so BRIGHT! It is an ultra bright neon pink that I found itself on my nails AND toes this past weekend. Ali is like the big sister of Renee. This is definitely a must have too!
Go Zoya! I am loviiiiing this collection. I didn't have any application issues. Zoya polishes always apply flawlessly for me. I applied two coats for each color and I didn't seem to have not one problem child. Pippa was a little tricky but that is the case with most yellows.
Got your eye on any of these babies here? Buy these and more for $6/bottle at Zoya.com.

Your fellow nail polish junkie,
Amor de Lacquer: Zoya Remove +
For someone who polishes her nails every day I need a GREAT nail polish remover. No, I mean spectacular! I need a remover that not only gets rid of every bit of polish on my nails, but also conditions my nails and cuticles. It would also help if it didn't smell absolutely horrid. I never thought such a polish remover existed until I tried Zoya's Remove +.
I don't think that I will EVER purchase another nail polish remover.
Here's what Zoya says about Remove +:
"Color Lock-Step 1: Big Flipper Bottle filled with Remove+.Three in one-The perfect remover, nail cleaner and nail prep product all together in on great solution. Great lavender scent."
Here's what I say about it:
-Smells so much better than traditional nail polish remover
-Conditions cuticles and nail beds
-Is a beautiful shade of purple.
I am kidding about that last bit but my 8 oz bottle is almost hittin' the bottom.
My bottle was $9 and probably a little steep for a nail polish remover. However, I'll spend the extra dollars to have my nails look the way they do after using Zoya's Remove +.

Polish pretty,

Amor de Lacquer: Zoya's Jacy
Welcome to another post of Amor de Lacquer….the series all about nail polish and nail care! Send me your requests, suggestions and ideas at email@example.com.
I recently received my polishes for the Zoya exchange and of course I love them all! I didn't think Jacy would impress me as much as she did. On the outside with color looks to a little shimmery plum-ish. "Blah," I thought to myself. Nothing unique or interesting about that."
But then I saw how spectacular it looked on the nails! Not bad at all.
As beautiful as this polish is, I am sure there are some dupes out there. Readers, help! Do yall know of any? As with most of my Zoya polishes, this baby only took a good 2 coats and I didn't have any problems with it. Even though I prefer "out there" colors, I still have an appreciation for the berry nail polishes of the world. I always think they are safe colors but for every now and then….they aren't so bad.
I would love to hear your thoughts!
I am still preppin' up for Amor de Lacquer week here at Clumps of Mascara. Look at what I have in store…
Just when you thought purple polishes couldn't get any better–purple glittery polish!!
Nfu-Oh polishes…so many colors in just one stroke. Not glitter, but flecks? How does it do that?
China Glaze's Summer Days' collection makes me want to run through Strawberry fields.
Stay tuned, fam! Please send me all of your requests and suggestions on what you would like to see during Amor de Lacquer week.
Stay beautiful,
Amor de Lacquer: Zoya gives clues on upcoming collection!

Help Me Organize My Master Bedroom Reach-In Closet
Our MB reach-in closet is 87"wide x 24"deep x 96" high. It has one lenght of rod running from one end to the other and two long shelves above the rod. My husband's shirts and other clutter are slowing running me out of the closet. I dread the day I'll come home to find that the rod has collapsed and al the clothes and other stuff in the closet on the floor.
We have a good handyman but I need your thoughts/suggestions as to how to better divide/organize/partition the closet. It has two bifold doors and access to the attic is also inside the closet. I would post a picture but the clutter is too embarrassing. Help! Please!! Thanks.
I would start by getting rid of every thing that you no longer need then measure shirts and pants. Do double rods where possible and even some shelves. I would google closet organizers to get an idea of what you can do and it also depends on budget.
I agree with dd50.
It is very hard to make recommendations when we don't know what you have and how you store them.
Some people hang jeans; some do not.
Some people hang t-shirts; some do not.
Lots of shoes kept in the closet or not?
Need handbag storage?
Chio, if you are worried about the rod collapsing, add extra brackets to hold it up. Then do as suggested, sorting and figuring out what you need. One side can have double rods for shirts and the other side can have a single rod for longer stuff like pants and dresses.
Since you are labeling your husband as the culprit, you could divide the closet rod in half. One side is his, and one is yours. He has to find a way to make all of this stuff fit on his side. Another method is to reverse the hangers on everything and if it is still like that after a year, toss it, because it never got worn.
I'm sure you will find lots of ideas, but it isn't clear if you are asking how to organize or how to keep his stuff from crowding out yours.
Thanks for the replies. The closet has one long rod at running the length of it and two shelves above the rod about 20 inches apart. My husband has more shirts than anyone needs (though he''ll never admit this)and his shirts take up his half of the closet and about half of my side as well. We don't store shoes in the closet but use the shelves for folded jeans, sweaters, t shirts and other stuff. I would store my handbags in the closet if there was space. We also store our carry on bags at the bottom of the closet but I guess we could relocate those. Thanks again for the help.
Have the handyman make a barrier in the middle of the closet ... and divide up the space on each side according to the clothing that each person has. If your husband has so many shirts he needs two rods, mount two of them. But if they won't all fit along with his jeans and t-shirts and sweaters, he may have to do some wardrobe pruning. (does everything fit? does he wear all the shirts?)
Do you have room for off-season storage elsewhere? Or for t-shirts and sweaters in a dresser drawer?
And definitely get the luggage out of the prime closet space unless you travel weekly.

text: Former marine charged in shooting death of "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle United States United States Kaitlin Funaro on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM " title="Clone of Gun stocks fall 2012 12 18" /> Eddie Ray Routh was charged with two counts of capital murder in the deaths of "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle, 38, and Chad Littlefield, 35, at a Texas shooting range. A former Marine was charged with murdering his friend, ex Navy SEAL and author of "American Sniper", Chris Kyle, at a Texas shooting range. Eddie Ray Routh was charged with two counts of capital murder in the deaths of Kyle, 38, and Chad Littlefield, 35, at the shooting range about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth, reports the Washington Post. Kyle became well known for writing "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History", a best-selling book that detailed the more than 150 insurgents that Kyle had killed between 1999 and 2009, reports NPR. Sheriff Tommy Bryant told the Texas Empire Tribune that the bodies of Kyle and Littlefield were found dead at Rough Creek's shooting range between 3:30 and 4 p.m. Saturday. Bryant told the paper that Routh shot the victims at point-blank range before fleeing in Kyle's truck. The US military confirmed to AP Sunday that Routh was in the Marines from 2006 to 2010 and was deployed to Iraq in 2007. According to AP, Routh's current status is reserve. Officer Kyle Roberts at the Erath County Jail told AP that Routh is being held on $3 million bond.

Every other week until the World Cup, we'll publish a new feature on global soccer culture. For more Roads & Kingdoms coverage of food, war, and music, visit its online magazine. By Idil Abshir, The Far Post Weaving through downtown Nairobi on a recent Saturday afternoon, I entered Lazaru's Inn, a small bar in the heart of the city center, to join the Kenya Arsenal Fan Club for the Arsenal vs. Everton FA Cup quarterfinal match. By kickoff, there are over 100 Arsenal supporters sitting shoulder to shoulder; the rowdiest contingent is gathered around a screen in the back. Fans wearing red and yellow Arsenal jerseys with names and customized messages such as "The Unbeatable" and "Verminator," for Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen, emblazoned across the back, are already shushing people. Enthusiasm turns to dismay when the SuperSport channel is changed to the West Brom vs. Manchester United match. The crowd in the back heaves, and people begin hurling insults towards the bar; one fan mutters that the video jockey is an ignorant Manchester United fan. The channel is changed back in enough time for the crowd to roar at Arsenal's goal in the 6th minute. Mania for the English Premier League is a nationwide phenomenon that isn't hindered by ethnic or class divisions; both the country's poorest and its elite can be found watching a match or arguing its merits. Kenyan football fans primarily rally around Arsenal and Manchester United, though there are a substantial number of Liverpool, Chelsea and, increasingly, Manchester City fans. The fanaticism has reached, in several high-profile cases, a deadly level. A couple of weeks before Christmas, John Macharia, 28, leapt off his seventh-floor apartment balcony in Nairobi and plummeted to his death. Macharia had been a devoted follower of Manchester United, and he killed himself shortly after its shock 1-0 defeat against Newcastle at Old Trafford. Suleiman Omondi, a 29-year-old Arsenal fan, hung himself after his team suffered a defeat against Manchester United, in 2009. After Macharia's death, Nairobi's county police commander Benson Kibui urged Kenyan soccer fans to support local teams rather than glamorous European sides such as Manchester United. "They should enjoy the matches," he said "but they should not commit suicide since life is very precious." The Arsenal-Manchester United rivalry dominates social media. Arsenal fans call out "Manure" fans on their performance this season, and Manchester United fans respond with taunts about how Kenyan starlet "Lupita Nyong'o has won more trophies than Arsenal in the last nine years." That the vast majority are Arsenal and Manchester United fans is no coincidence. As the local league disintegrated throughout the 90s, people sought their sports entertainment in the English Premier League and Bundesliga highlights shown on local TV. By the end of the 90s, the broadcast of full Premier League matches on Kenya's SuperSport channel tipped the balance, and as people grew increasingly disenchanted with the local football scene, the fervor for the English league grew. "During that entire period, Kenyan football was dead, and English football became religion," says Carol Radull, a leading sports reporter. "I think it was Samuel Eto'o who said 'You can go to any village, in any part of Africa, kick a ball and make an instant friend.' Kenyans understand the language of football, we just respect foreign football more than we respect our own." Photo: Jon Super/AP Kenyan Victor Waynama, left, playing for Premier League club Southampton against Manchester United, one of the most popular clubs among Kenyan soccer fans. Kenyan football has a tainted history of wrangling, scandal and corruption; it was banned by FIFA in 2004 and 2006 because of political meddling. Steve Bloomfield, journalist and author of Africa United: How Football Explains Africa summarizes the systemic breakdown in his chapter on the Kenyan national team, the Harambee Stars: "It was a story of stolen gate receipts, missing FIFA funds and institutional match-rigging. Senior figures in the football administration had been charged with corruption but Kenya's notoriously creaking justice system had failed to prosecute anyone... The mix of money and power led to a succession of rows over who should control football, arguments which have had a terrible effect on the game itself." Just follow the acronyms: The Kenya Football Federation (KFF) became synonymous with corruption and mismanagement, and was rebranded into Football Kenya Limited (FKL). It is here that the structure becomes increasingly entangled with the KFF and the FKL running parallel for a period of time, before the governing body was once again reimagined as the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) — its current manifestation. The underlying issues however, have remained. Photo: Neil Thomas/FIFA/Getty Images Mathare United team members laugh with Bob Munro, right, at the opening ceremony of the Mathare FIFA Football For Hope Centre in Nairobi, Kenya in September, 2010. Bob Munro, 71, is completely at ease; his sweater is draped over his shoulders, and his shirtsleeves are rolled up. The waiters, at the popular local restaurant where we have met, refer to him by first name. At first glance, Munro doesn't strike you an authority on Kenyan football; he has a kindly smile, his glasses are the proper old school kind (round, no frames) and, well, he's white. Munro, a native of St. Catharines, Ontario, has come a long way from the ice hockey and baseball of his youth, and is now one of the go-to people on Kenyan football. Munro, who moved to the country as an advisor to the United Nations Environmental Program and UN Habitat in 1985, founded the Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA) in 1987, and the professional team Mathare United FC in 1994. Both are based in Mathare, one of Nairobi's sprawling slums, which are home to at least 60 percent of Nairobi residents. MYSA, a global pioneer in sports for development, was the only league in the stands to have a column for 'garbage cleaning' in the points table; the association now has over 1,800 youth football teams, and over 25,000 boys and girls who develop their community through environmental cleanup, HIV/AIDS awareness, and literacy programs. MYSA and Mathare United FC were among the 165 nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 and are expected to defend their FIFA Football for Hope championship title in Brazil this year. When I meet up with him, Munro explains what went wrong with Kenyan football, and why the need for independent youth football was so great. There was a culture of corruption deeply embedded, which was in favor of a few teams at the expense of the others, and where the football officials basically exploited the clubs financially, without attracting money to invest in developing the game," Munro says. He adds that besides marriage, and in the worst cases, death, there are only a couple of avenues out of the slums; education and sports. The culture of corruption compromises opportunities for young people in both. "[Youth] can't use their football skills to get their families out of poverty, because the football officials are mismanaging the league and stealing the money, but they are also stealing their future. That's the worst part." The corruption, which was basically extortion, made it virtually impossible for Mathare United and other teams to play a fair game, if they managed to play at all. Throughout the 1990s the federation imposed exorbitant costs on the teams; everything from an extraneous $150-$250 membership fee to the approximately $100 per player for 'players cards,' which were basically pieces of cardboard that players had to fill and attach a photo too. There were additional fees to register for cup finals, and more money required for special players cards for each particular cup. All this, and teams stood no chance of winning matches away from home. "The corruption in Kenyan football was so bad, referees would give a penalty to the home team to win a match or get a draw," Munro says. The situation was dire, but in 1998 the Mathare United team had finally made it into the nationwide league, and they weren't about to miss out on their opportunity. A friend of Munro's donated a JVC camera and battery pack to the team, and they went on the offensive. "In 1998 our team manager was the most fit person on the team," Munro remembers, laughing. "At the prematch he would go shove [the camera] in the referee's face, and during the match he was running up and down the field with this camera and battery pack." The referees, unused to being on video, refrained from blatant rigging, and the team garnered enough points to move forward. "That camera was broken, it didn't work," Munro adds with a conspiratorial grin. "But in the end, it did work." The FKF remains far from exemplary; as recently as July 2013, BBC reported that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission was investigating the FKF for the alleged misappropriation of $410,000, and three Kenyan referees are currently under investigation for fixing a club match in South Africa in 2010. However, there has been one fundamental change in local football: the formation of the Kenya Premier League. The formation of the league was messy and drawn out. The process began in 2003, when 12 of the top clubs, including Mathare United, resigned from the KFF. The teams had tired of being sidelined after every federation election, and so they set up their own company, and even hosted a "Transparency Cup" to combat corruption, thereby effectively launching the Kenya Premier League. Soon after, FIFA admonished them for being a "renegade league" and told them they had to go back to the federation. In the subsequent years however, after recognizing the league's competence, and in an effort to overcome the corruption of the federation, FIFA supported the clubs' decision to retain some autonomy. The Kenya Premier League returned to the fold as an affiliate, with a league run by the clubs, like the English Premier League and South Africa's Premier Soccer League. For teams that had once trampled on each other to stay in favor with the federation, and therefore in favor with the referees, the balance of power had shifted. As Munro, who was also one of the league's founding members, describes it, there was fair play in the new league, and a strict 'no receipt, no expenditure' rule. The league had no money, and devised a simple system: the home team paid the referees and kept the gate receipts. Their defining ideology cut straight to the point: those that produce football on the field should make the decisions off the field. "We're only opponents for 90 minutes twice a year, the rest of the time we have the same problems, we should be sharing with each other and helping each other, and not let others divide and rule us," Munro passionately adds. By 2007-2008 season, the local football scene had changed entirely: football had become professional, and before long, SuperSport was so impressed it negotiated the league's television rights. Tragically, 2007-2008 was also the year everything changed for Kenya; violence erupted after a disputed election, and the country was in flames. Over a thousand people were killed in the violence and countless others displaced. Photo: Pius Utomi Ekpei/AFP/Getty Images The Kenya national team poses before a World Cup qualifying match against Nigeria in March 2013. In an effort to promote national unity, the Kenya Premier League stepped in to fund and co-chair the national team, the Harambee Stars, in the run up to the World Cup qualifiers. By May 2008 both the government, which was struggling to support the hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people, and the FKF had said they could not afford to support the national team. With a loan of approximately $150,000, the Kenya Premier League shared the management of the national team with a reluctant FKF. The league unanimously selected Mathare United coach Francis Kimanzi to coach the national team, and in a single season Kenya rose 52 places in the FIFA ranking from 120th to 68th. This success was short-lived, and with it the hopes that Kenyan players would be eligible to play in Britain; where a national ranking of under 70 is required in order for players to qualify for direct transfer. The federation unceremoniously dismissed Kimanzi in 2008 after he refused to take his players to a lucrative friendly in Egypt. The federation reclaimed control of the national team, and before long Kenya had plummeted in the rankings. The league however, has continued to grow in strength and popularity. Salaries have gone from an abysmal $35-$58 a month to $233-$349, with the league hoping to reach $814- $1,162, in order to be regionally competitive. The total annual budget of Kenya's major teams AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia, community based teams founded along ethnic lines, but which have become increasingly diverse with the recent professionalization of the sport, used to be $58,000-$69,000 and have increased tenfold. The two teams used to draw an average of about 2000 people to the stadium in the mid to late 1990s, that number is now an average of 10,000-15,000 fans in the stadium during a derby match. Viewership of local league matches has also quadrupled since SuperSport bought the rights to broadcast the matches, according to sportscaster Radull. A large SuperSport rig is a staple at all Premier League matches. Photo: Fethi Belaid/AFP/Getty Images Gor Mahia FC defender Musa Mohamed, right, vies for the ball with Esperance of Tunis Striker Haythem Juini during an African Champions League match last month. On a Sunday in late March, one such van is parked outside the Mombasa County Stadium. It is half time, and the stadium is packed. Kenyan football heavyweights Gor Mahia are playing against hometown favorites Bandari in the Kenya Premier League. The score is 1-1, it is 90 degrees, and the humidity is getting to everybody. Gor Mahia's green and white can be seen across the stands, fans are wearing all kinds of hats: baseball caps (one even has a green and white Mohawk fashioned from straw), cowboy hats, straw hats, and even a green helmet. While Gor Mahia's fans have made their loyalty as apparent as possible; Mombasa residents have also shown up in force, a sea of blue supporting their home team against the giants of Kenyan football. The start of the second half is delayed due to what the announcers are calling a crowd invasion; Bandari supporters have spilled past the mesh wire perimeter, and over onto the pitch. People mill about, in what is hardly an invasion, before moving back to the stands. As the game resumes, Gor Mahia fans begin chanting and clapping, and before long Bandari fans wielding vuvuzelas and flags are making an equal amount of noise. Groans of disappointment at almost goals, and shouts of dismay over fouls, of which there are many, fill the air. Bandari's Victor Majid scores the team's second goal in the 74th minute, and the crowd begins stomping on the wooden beams, cheering and chanting, and waving flags. As far as they are concerned, the game is over. The remainder of the match is an exercise in stalling from Bandari; kicking the ball out, passing it to their goalkeeper from afar, and taking as many measures as they can to maintain possession of the ball. Gor Mahia fans are muted, worried, as the game draws to a close. A large contingent of green and white are streaming out of the stands before the final whistle is blown. It is yet another successful match, regardless of the winner: everything a league could hope for. The Kenyan renaissance however, is still its early stages. Competitors are still far ahead in terms of investment, Tanzanian clubs have 7-8 times the annual budget of Kenya's top teams, and clubs like Congo's TP Mazembe and Egypt's Al Ahly and Zamalek have annual budgets of over $11 million, putting them at 30 to 40 times more than the most well-funded Kenyan teams. "We're just starting down that road," says Munro. He argues that Kenyan football can be a billion dollar industry if it attracts the right kind of investment. This, he says, is where the fanaticism around English football becomes problematic. "Yes, the EPL moved into the vacuum created by the poor state of our football in the 1990s, but they have dominated our TV screens and fans are identifying with foreign teams rather than Kenyan teams, and they are even partnering with local banks who could be investing in local football," says Munro, referring to the Arsenal debit cards launched in Kenya and Uganda by Imperial Bank last year. "They are siphoning off potential investment in local football, and this issue has to be addressed in global football, especially if by acting that way they destroy football in Africa." Back at Lazaru's Inn, the chanting, stomping and high fives after Arsenal's fourth goal demonstrate that no matter how fast or far Kenyan football has become, the English Premier League takes precedence, and that although its arrival may have filled a void, it is loved in its own right. "Kenyans love football," says an Arsenal fan named Kennedy Gitau, looking jubilant after the victory. "Ever since the EPL came to Kenya, the local game has transformed. For Kenyan football to grow, the clubs will have to look for their fans, and not wait for their fans to come to them." Idil Abshir is a Nairobi-based journalist.

I loved listening to Goldie Hawn read her book. Her voice is soothing, and exudes an easy happiness even during the troubled times in her past. I've never realized how amazing a woman she is, with quiet strength and courage. I absolutely loved the memoir!!
I loved listening to this novel. Since the author is also the narrator, it is even more enjoyable!! It was so moving at times, and paints a wonderful picture of countries far away. Elizabeth Gilbert's search for understanding and faith is wonderful to behold thoughout the book.
"Wonderful Listen =)"
The book was so amazing. I've been trying to buy in paperback for months, but I thought I might try listening to it instead. Even right now, I am sitting in my office at school listening to this masterpiece some more. I absolutely love the narrators!! They make the story so enjoyable. I could just listen to them both for hours (which I guess I actually did). =)
