Dershon Brown's two goal performance led the Colorado Rapids to a 3-0 win over the visiting Houston Dynamo (5-8-2 17 points) on Sunday night. The loss left Houston winless on their three game road trip and scoreless since a 61st minute goal by Giles Barnes in a 1-0 win over the L.A. Galaxy.
Colorado (6-4-3 21 points) opened the scoring in the fifth minute as a Marvel Wynne cross found the head of an onrushing Dershon Brown and a 1-0 lead.
Thirteen minutes later, Dynamo defender Corey Ashe streaked across the goal line clearing a low line shot by Kamani Hill keeping the deficit at one. In the 35th minute, Brown, the Jamaican international doubled the score netting his second goal of the match.
Kamani Hill, who nearly scored in the 18th minute of the first half were it not for the heroics of Dynamo defender Corey Ashe clearing the ball off the line at the last second, didn't miss in the 51st minute deftly flicking home a corner kick with the outside of his right past Dynamo keeper Tally Hall.
The goal marked the second straight game Houston surrendered three goals and the fourth time this season.
The Dynamo have scored once on their last four games since losing rookie forward Mark Sheerrod to a torn ACL.
Houston hosts Sporting KC in a 7:30pm CDT match at BBVA Compass Stadium on Friday, June 1st.

Insomnia is a difficult thing to deal with and brought on by tension, stress and anxiety. Lavender is an extremely calming scent. When I can't sleep I use an aromatherapy eye pillow filled with lavender buds and flax seed. I purchased it from A Touch of Satin last year and it really helps me relax. The lavender and flax seed are organic and that's important. I keep it in the freezer and the coolness of the flax seed is very calming and helps me unwind. It is also great for hot flashes. A Touch of Satin had really pretty prints, all made out of beautiful satin.
Wicking sleepwear along with the Chillow assures a good night sleep.

College Hockey:Chargers Stampede Back From Two-Goal Deficit
Overton's OT Winner Puts UAH In Title Game
STORRS, Conn. — Gerald Overton scored the game winning goal with :58 left in overtime to lead the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers over the eighth-ranked Ferris State Bulldogs, 5-4, at the UConn Classic.
Alabama-Huntsville scored the opening goal when Karlis Zirnis put back a rebound from a Jared Ross shot past the outstretched pad of Bulldog goaltender Mike Brown.
Ferris State answered with three straight goals. Captain Troy Milam scored a power-play marker when a Jeff Legue rebound skittered into open ice and he jumped into the play, lifting the puck over the blocker of Charger goalie Scott Munroe to even the score at one.
The Chargers missed an opportunity to go up 2-1 when Zirnis passed on an open net. "Karlis had an open net and didn't shoot the puck," Charger coach Doug Ross said, "and that was a big turn for us. We could have gone up by one, but they came back and scored and went up by one."
The Bulldogs played excellent transitional hockey, with Greg Rallo putting a shot high glove-side past Munroe after the Bulldog defense cleared the puck out following Zirnis' mental mistake. Simon Mangos found a streaking Rallo to put the Bulldogs ahead by one.
The transition game continued as the Bulldogs' Derek Nesbitt flipped a pass from the defensive zone into neutral ice, where a streaking Jeff Legue skated through four Charger defenders to put the puck past Munroe.
"We had a little spell there late in the first period," Ross said. "They got another quick one there, but we went into the locker room with confidence, because we didn't play that bad in the first period. Then we came out and played catch-up hockey in the second period."
The Chargers certainly did that, scoring three straight goals of their own in the second. Ryan Leasa scored a breakaway shorthander when solid point defensive coverage from Karlis Zirnis and Steve Charlebois freed up the puck for the senior defenseman to skate into the Ferris zone unmolested.
The assist gave Zirnis 100 points on his career, the first Charger to reach that plateau in the program's Division I era.
The Chargers tied the game at three thanks to strong cycling by the second line. Sophomore Jared Ross flipped the puck to Craig Bushey, who tried to chop it down past Brown. Brown made the save, but the rebound flipped out to Zirnis, who found Ross on the weak side staring at an open net.
The Chargers went ahead when Leasa scored his second of the game on a power-play marker. Leasa uncharacteristically jumped up into the play, putting home a puck sitting in open ice after Charlebois and Jason Hawes failed to score. The marker came with just :23 left in the second period.
The two teams skated around in the third, with opportunities for each team going down to solid goaltender play from Munroe and Brown. Derrick McIver scored on a wraparound goal after Phil Lewandowski's shot went wide into the end boards. McIver beat Munroe to the post at 11:19 of the third period.
In the five-minute overtime, the teams nearly skated their way into a shootout, but Overton picked up a rebound after linemates Keith Rowe and Mike Funk had worked their way into the slot in front of Brown. Overton fired the puck into the back of the net and was mobbed by his teammates at center ice.
Of the goal, Overton said, "That was all Funky and Rosy. They got in there and were banging away and the puck just came to me."
Ross said that he already had his shooters selected, but wouldn't reveal who was on the list, except to acknowledge, "Overton was certainly on there."
The Chargers will face CHA foe Findlay in the tournament final at approximately 5:15 p.m. ET at the UConn Ice Arena Monday. Ferris State will play host Connecticut in the 2 p.m. consolation game. The matchup between Findlay and Alabama-Huntsville will not count in the CHA standings.

What a weird mix of movies are new at the theaters this weekend! There's a new movie that's definitely firmly in the sci-fi realm. At the same time a silly comedy that makes fun of the horror genre is new. Also, for those looking for inspiration, comes a tale of a near-death experience that was turned into a bestselling book. Can any of them knock off Captain America? That remains to be seen.
Here are the films opening the weekend of April 18, 2014:
Heaven is For Real - Greg Kinnear, Thomas Haden Church, Margo Martindale. Based on the bestselling novel, this movie tells the story of an average family that narrowly avoids a tragedy. Their young son has a medical emergency and barely makes it out alive. As he comes home, he begins to tell his parents that while he was being treated, he saw heaven. The child knows things that his parents say he could not possibly know and talks of having met his dead grandfather and the baby that his mother lost ages ago. The film is getting very good reviews and not just for Christians, either, but just for those looking for a good story, decent acting and an inspirational tale. Rated PG.
Transcendence - Johnny Depp, Paul Bettany, Rebecca Hall. The first movie, in a while, where Depp is not playing a character buried under tons of makeup. This time he plays a man on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence who ends up shot by those who don't think that A.I. is a good thing. This causes his consciousness to be uploaded to a giant computer - and then the internet. Now he is pure consciousness and obsessed with world power. The movie is by Christopher Nolan's longtime cinematographer as his first directorial debut. The movie is getting savaged by critics who say the plot is muddled and hard to follow and that the movie is, overall, rather flat. Rated PG-13.
A Haunted House 2 - Jaime Pressly, Marlon Wayans, Cedric the Entertainer. Another of those movies where a bunch of third-rate celebrities get together and make fun of the movies that are generally popular in a certain genre. This time it's more horror movie hijinx and making fun of the various horror movies that have come out in the past couple of years. Critics are saying to avoid this one like the plague. Rated R.

Key trends in Guide to data
Our series of cost indices track movements in the input costs of contractors work in various sectors, incorporating national wage agreements and changes in materials as measured by government index series. They provide an underlying indication of price changes and differential movements in the various work sectors, but do not reflect changes in market conditions affecting profit and overheads provisions, site wages, bonuses or materials' price discounts/premiums. Market conditions are recorded in Construction Rates Quarterly Market Forecast (last published 27 May).
Consumer prices
Price adjustment formulae indices, compiled by the Department of Trade and Industry and Official of National Statistics, help calculate increased costs on fluctuating or variation-of priced work contracts. They provide useful guidance on cost changes in various sectors and on the differential movement of work sections in Construction Rates Price Books.
Over the past year, the average increase in the 60 building work categories has been 1.7%. But since July 2008, the average increase has been only 0.7%. This is largely because the last building wage award was at the end of June 2010, lifting the cost of labour by 6.9%. Since July 2010, 20 work categories have fallen:
Filling: imported, hardcore and granular –20.6%
Softwood carcassing and structural members –10.8%
Windows and doors: softwood –12.7%
Concrete: formwork –15.6%
Concrete: reinforcement –17.6%
Waterproofing: liquid applied coatings –29.9%
Prices for sand and gravel and crushed rock in particular fell during the second half of last year, but price rises have been introduced by quarrying operations since the turn of this year.
The highest increases have been:
Windows and doors: steel +2.3%
Metal: decking +1.0%
Pipes and accessories: steel +0.9%
Cladding and covering: coated steel +1.2%
Piling: steel +0.7%
Metal: miscellaneous +1.0%
Finishes: bitumen, resin and rubber latex flooring +0.9%
The highest cost increases have continued to be influenced by steel. However, it appears the rise in the value of steel in 2010 has largely passed its way into the supply chain. The index for steel windows and doors has not changed since January; the provisional figures for metal decking and coated steel cladding show a slight fall in April 2010.

Creation Care: Can Our Planet Survive?
By Bill Hybels
Tuesday, April 20, 2010
There has been subject matter that God has heated up in my heart that I've talked to you about, sometimes repeatedly. Then there are other subject matters that I don't even know why they took a little while to get heated up in me; and I feel badly about that because God has heated up this subject matter in some of you, and you're ahead of me. So I'm really glad that we're going to invest this weekend the way we are. Again, I apologize for not bringing up the subject matter earlier.You all know that
Subdue It
What does God mean when He says, "Subdue the earth"?
To finish the story, her medication had just gotten off. She was a delightful woman really. I had a chance to interact with her via e-mail after that. She apologized, and I told her worse stuff has happened before and will in the future. But the security guys just subdued her; they brought her into conformity with some standards.

A DWTS cast leak has surfaced on the internet, pretty much taking away a lot of the anticipation of the big Sept. 4 announcement from the network. According to The Inquisitr, insiders have already revealed which celebrities will be on the show -- and which pro dance partners they will be dancing with on Season 19!
According to The National Ledger, these are the match-ups for the new season which premieres later this month.
Olympian bobsledder Lolo Jones will be dancing with new pro, Keo Motsepe. Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong fame has been partnered with blonde beauty, Peta Murgatroyd. Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson (her mom and dad are Willie and Korie Robertson) has been partnered with Mark Ballas.
Meanwhile, actor Antonio Sabato Jr. will take the floor with Cheryl Burke. YouTube star Bethany Mota has been partnered with Derek Hough and actor Jonathan Bennett will boogie down with Dancing with the Stars newbie Allison Holker.
More DWTS cast leak information has spoiled the rest of the cast too. MMA Champion Randy Couture will dance with Karina Smirnoff while Pretty Little Liars star Janel Parrish turns up the heat with Val Chmerkoskiy -- his brother, Maks, is the reigning champion.
Fresh prince of Bel-Air star Alfonso Ribiero will cha cha cha (maybe) with Witney Carson as designer Betsey Johnson takes her lessons from Tony Dovolani. Race car driver Michael Waltrip will dance with Emma Slater, and actress Lea Thompson will pair up with another newcomer, Artem Chigvintsev.
There is only one couple missing from the leaks, and that's Sharna Burgess' partner. Rumors of who she might be dancing with include Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley. Judging by a new sneaky Instagram photo, fans think that Sharna is definitely paired up with an athlete -- not to mention that "category" hasn't been filled yet. Usually every season has one professional athlete. Last season, Burgess danced with Olympic gold medalist, Charlie White.
As previously reported, Julianne Hough has joined the judges panel as the fourth judge, switching things up.

TC TO W. M. THACKERAY ; 20 October 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18591020-TC-WMT-01; CL 35: 237-236
October 20, 1859.
DEAR THACKERAY,—Right gladly I would if only I could, but I can yet bethink me of nothing in the least likely.1 Indeed I am so crushed to death amid Prussian rubbish these long years past, I have nearly lost the power of thinking in
any form, and am possessed by one sad futile ghost of a thought. How am I to get out of this cursed thing alive? If ever I
do live to get out of it and find the Thackeray magazine and editor still lively, then!2

[in a new window]
W. M. Thackeray to Thomas Carlyle, 16 October [1859]

Meanwhile I do not quite give the matter up—your matter I mean—as desperate. And if any possibility do offer, be sure I will lay hold of it. With prayers for the new periodical and you, yours ever, T. CARLYLE.

Well I´m looking to buy a Glock 17 Gen4 how do you like it? I´ve seen one at my local gun shop for the equivalent of $450.
I´m a big fan of Glock they are sturdy, efficient and NEVER let you down.
I have a Glock 17 Gen3, this one was my first pistol ever actually. Got it for around $526.00, that would be a good price if you find one for that.
Good choice on a gun, there's no gun that has the amount of firepower capacity and reliability like a G17.
I would try and shoot one first before I bought it. I got a Gen 3 G17 and it is my nightstand pistol. It's a Glock at a great price.
I got mine for $425 and love it. I do like the XDM Springfield more however. Good luck on your next purchase.
I own several Gen4 Glocks in various calibers, and have fired several more, but unfortunately, I have not yet had a chance to shoot a Gen4 Glock 17. The new Gen4 Glocks in 9mm seem to have slightly heavier springs than the older Gen3s, so in some cases, owners must use full-powered ammo for best functioning results. All the Gen4 Glocks I own and have fired have been flawless with ALL ammo types, but a few folks have experienced problems with the cheapest ammo types and the some Gen4 9mms.
I usually tell folks that unless they have a specific need for one or more of the Gen4 features (lefty mag release, smaller grip), they might be better off sticking to the Gen3 Glocks for a 9mm with a proven track record.
Thanks for the advice, I am a lefty too. So maybe the gen3 would be better for me?
Well, you are one of the folks who would benefit from the reversible magazine release button which is only available on the Gen4 guns, but most lefty shooters I know have been shooting right-handed handguns for so long, they are used to using the right-handed controls. If you fall into this category, then I'd recommend the Gen3 Glocks. If you want the option of a reversible mag catch, and the smallest possible grip size (the Gen4 frame with no additional backstrap installed is slightly smaller than a Gen3), then a Gen4 would be a better choice.
Mag options/availability is another thing to keep in mind: to set up and use the mag release button for left-hand use, you have to have the newest generation of magazines that have the extra notch on the left side. Here in the US, all new full-size Gen4 Glocks will come with 3 magazines that are suitable for left- or right-handed use, but if you buy extra mags, you'll need to make sure they are compatible with the Gen4 left-hand release. Older mags can be used if a Gen4 is set-up as a right-handed release, but pre-Gen4 mags won't lock-in and function if the mag button has been swapped for lefty use. New Gen3 full-size guns sold in the US will only have two mags in the box, and extra mags are hard to find right now, so that could be a factor in your choice.
Finally, the grip texture on the Gen4 Glocks is very aggressive; some folks like it (gun doesn't move in your hand when firing, even if you're sweaty or cold), other folks don't (can be abrasive on hands, clothing, vehicle seats, and muffin-tops (I'm NOT in any way saying you have one, as I've never seen/met you -- but I have a bit of a problem in that area, and with a Gen4, it was a factor in my IWB holster choice)). In 9mm calibers, the gun doesn't jump around all that much during recoil, but in .40/.357, or during long shooting sessions with the 9mm, it can wear a sore spot on your hand depending on how you grip the weapon.
To see a comparison of the grip frame texture, you can click on the Stickied thread near the top of the Glock forum showing the different generation frame types. Here is a close-up of the Gen4 grip texture:
I got a G17 Gen 4 a couple months ago for IDPA. Great gun shoots accurately also.
The only problems with the new Gen 4,s is that new double spring . Change it and go back to old style single spring and all is well.
I'm not a Glock expert by any means, but I do listen to what people say about them. I keep hearing that Gen 3 is the most popular, and when they go shopping for one, it's the Gen 3 they look for, regardless of model.

The 4th annual Running With Ed event will take place May 18. The 38-mile race only has six days remaining for regular registration before the price jumps to $500 for teams of five, according to Jennifer Billow, Park City Education Foundation communications manager.
"The 38-mile, 10-leg race, offers everything from trail to pavement, challenging climbs to fast downhill, easy legs for beginners and tough ones for experts," Billows said.
Running with Ed race founder and director Tim Chesley started the event with his wife, Joanna Chesley, four years ago to celebrate public schools and Park City's enthusiasm for outdoor activities.
During the first year, 80 teams signed up, the second year 100 teams participated and last year 130 teams joined the event. So far, the same number of teams that competed in last year's race have signed up, but more are needed, according to Billow.
"Every year we set a fundraising goal and in order to meet that mark this year we are looking for 160 teams to sign up," Billow said. "Park City is a healthy place that wants their children to be healthy too. When [Chesley] created the event, we weren't looking for another gala to raise money here in Park City, but an event the community could get excited about."
Last year, the foundation, along with the fundraising teams, raised $135,000 for Park City School District schools. Money raised is distributed through designated school site grants for the next school year.
This year, organizers have teamed up with the Ragnar Relay Series organization to get an insider's edge to holding a large race like this, according to Billow.
"Ragnar has given us a lot of support over the year," Billow said. "Through all of their help we were able to avoid learning the aspects of this type of event from scratch. It only took us a fraction of the time it normally would to grow this event as big as it has become."
A mandatory captains' meeting is being held today at The Yard Park City at 6:30 p.m., located at 1251 Kearns Blvd. Course changes, race logistics, safety and fundraising will be discussed, concerning the race.
To register for the event, which makes its way past Olympic venues, iconic landmarks, City Park, neighborhood schools and historic Main Street, visit www.runningwithed.com

2008 Estate Grown Merlot Stout Vineyard
| 2008
91 Points - 2 Stars
Charles Olken, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine
From its very well-focused aromas of caramel, dark cherries and sweet tobacco to its deep, impressively filled flavors, this classy and yet very solid Merlot demonstrates a keen sense of careful composition. It backs up its ample, optimally ripened fruit with good, grippy tannins, yet it always adheres to the imperatives of suppleness that mark fine Merlot. It finishes on the tough and astringent side, and it deserves another five years of cellaring in which to fully come into its own.

WVU Police Chief Offers Safety Tips After Texas Stabbing Attack
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on April 10, 2013 @ 7:11PM
Created on April 10, 2013 @ 5:28PM
Classes were back in session Wednesday at Lone Star Community College in Texas. That's only one day after a student apparently went on a rampage and stabbed several other kids at the school.
Back at home West Virginia University Police Chief, Bob Roberts said Wednesdays' events demonstrate how those things can happen even without someone having a gun. He said that's why their plan to deal with any situation involving a person with a weapon is very similar.
Investigators believe 20-year-old Dylan Quick attacked a handful of people with a razor utility knife.
Roberts said that it doesn't matter what type of weapon a potential attacker might have. He said they have to be treated as if they're dangerous. He mentioned to 5 News that even a pencil can kill someone if it's used the right way.
Roberts warned folks to call police if they see anyone strange. He said it's important for folks to consider their own safety and not get involved with the situation.
"If you can get away, get away," Roberts said. "If you can't get away then you should shelter in place. You should also turn your cell phone off, or anything that would attract you to a would be attacker."

Did you know that your website, salesletter or article has a very short 10 seconds to grab your visitor's attention before your chance of making a sale self-destructs and your first-time visitors leave your site, article etc.?
You must ensure that those critical 10 seconds count by ensuring that the first fold of your website (the first screen of your website that is visible without scrolling) snags the attention of your visitors and persuades them to stay for a few minutes longer to find out what you are offering. This is a most crucial point in web design. Get this right you will soon starting making money online.
Most people will think that this concept sounds simple enough. Unfortunately most website owners and authors make fatal mistakes that drive visitors away and limit the sales potential of their sites and articles. In the process of trying to tell it all, sell it all, they just end up confusing them all. Another reason could also be that webmasters and authors assume too much that their website or article will sell the offer itself and that is why they are not concerned and therefore test the response conversion rate of the web page.
Think about all the previous times when you have clicked out of a site. Were you:
* overwhelmed by the graphics?
* pointed in 14 different directions.
* annoyed and confused by flashy banners?
* getting impatient when the site took too long to load up?
* driven away because a lack of relevant information?
So what can YOU do to ensure that your own website does not suffer from the same scenarios?
Start The Biggest Benefit With Your Headline
Ask any professional copywriter, and they will tell you that your headline can make or break your success in making money online. Unfortunately this is an element that is overlooked by most online marketers and authors.
The very first thing that should draw your visitors' eyes when they arrive at your site is a clear bold headline stating what the biggest benefits your site has to offer.
Graphics, illustrations, menus and links should only enhance your site or article and do distract you from the main point.
The headline should be located at the very top, center of the page in a larger font size from the rest of the writing, to naturally attract attention. You headline should communicate information about what you offer, whereby a few good ideas will be about:
* Making your visitors live easier.
* Saving them money.
* Saving them time.
* Entertaining them.
* Helping them too feel better.
Your headline must be effective such that visitors must be able to absorb all the benefits of your product or service in a glance.
Not only must you write a killer headline, it must also be strategically formatted, by using bolding, italics and underlining to emphasize the key points.
Capture Visitors' Names And E-Mail Addresses
The second most important element that should appear within the first fold your website is an opt-in e-mail form that offers visitors a compelling reason to become a subscriber. In your article this will be in your resource box.
It normally takes a visitor a few visits to your site before they buy anything, so it is crucial that you capture their name and e-mail addresses before they leave.
Now days having an opt-in form with text like "Subscribe Now" of "Free News Letter" is not sufficient. E-mail is no longer a novelty for most of us and there are millions of sites all pushing their "free newsletter". So it is extremely important that you give your visitors a compelling and valid reason for them to hand over their details to you.
Avoid These Common Design Errors
Avoid links and banners that drive traffic away from your offer. While there are situations that warrant placing a banner at the top of your home page, e.g. when you are promoting an affiliate product or selling advertising space, be careful that you are not driving traffic to your competitor.
Avoid Distracting Graphics And Animation
If visitors spend the first 10 seconds waiting for large graphics to download, you bet they will not be hanging around. Keep in mind that words sell not graphics.
Avoid Sharing Ordering Information Too Soon
Ensure that there is no mention of ordering or buying until you have established the value of your offer. First establish your credibility and explain how your product or service will benefit the visitor before asking for the order.
In Summary
The first fold is your most valuable real estate on your business website, salesletter or article, and it is where your new visitors make their 10-second decision to stay or go, so use this space wisely.
* Communicate the biggest benefit
* Persuade your visitors to opt-in to your mailing list
* Make sure your site is a breeze to navigate
Not only will you increase the average length of your visitor's stay, you will also see a dramatic increase in overall sales too.

I figured now is a good time to start upgrading the guns that I have. At the moment, I'm looking at grips:
First is my old 637. The sticky stock rubber grip tended to snag my cover shirt. At first I looked at wood grips, but was concerned over the abuse it takes as a daily-carry. I ended up going with VZ grips 'G10' simulated wood. They should last forever. We'll see.
Next is an early-vintage 1911 that's been passed down through the family that I first introduced here: http://www.defensivecarry.com/forum/...?daysprune=100 . Since then, I've had a real gunsmith go through it, fit a new barrel and give it his blessing. Since it's already been previously butchered, I decided that instead of trying to maintain authenticity, to go for what aesthetically appealed to me; a set of diamond walnut grips and stainless hex screws instead of the old flat-heads. It's now a shooter, once again (it has the best trigger of any handgun that I own).
Now, I'll be headed back to the gun safe to select my next volunteer...

It should surprise no one that incidences of substance abuse among fighters are not rare. It takes a special person to rise up the ranks of fighters, someone not afraid to be extreme in training, in the intensity department, and often in their need for an inordinate amount of attention and adulation.
Kelly Pavlik spent time in rehab this year to get a handle on his boozing. Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe after hanging up the gloves both had a hard time replacing the roars of appreciative fans, and attempted to fill up the vacuum with white powder. TMZ reports that Oscar De la Hoya's pick of poison is the same.
"Oscar De La Hoya began drinking and using cocaine," the gossip site reported, "which then caused him to have infidelity problems in his marriage ... sources connected with the former boxing champ tell TMZ."
Stories such as this one can be instructive, especially in eras such as this, when it seems everyone hungers for the deliverance riches and fame will bring. Money and celebrity aren't always what they are cracked up to be...The blues can strike anyone, at any time, and a beefy bank account cannot insulate you.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

I've read the first 15 pieces and I love your style--like prose poems, beautifully worded and very playful. The fact that these pieces can be read in any order is very intriguing. It's like a book of poems in that way. I wonder though, if you lose some of the momentum, the forward motion that keeps the reader reading, by not having the progression of a plot? These seem like stories told to a child, which ads a nice hint of continuity (as do the characters). But because there's no necessary order, I lose some of my commitment to read, because I don't know whether my questions will ever be answered. For example, who was standing on the wall and then flew like a stone? Was it Gisela? Can she fly? Or did she die? Really beautiful though. Very professional writing.

Marcus Speh 13 November 2011 - 3:07am
Thank you, diana, for your close reading, annotation and for this comment. The stories are currently presented in the order in which they were written; most of them are still in "first draft" so to speak though first draft for a flash is different from first draft for a longer piece. I'm aware that I'm definitely pushing the envelope of the concept of "novella" here: pieces like "NO NAME" or "POOR PIG-DOG" are only the tip of the iceberg...regarding your observation of "forward motion": after no. 15 there is a long barren run of pieces without Gisela or the other main characters introduced so far. When Gisela returns, she now returns often in first person, and there are many flashes that don't seem to have anything to do with the central story. They are like snow flakes that fell to Earth somewhere around the year 1000 in Europe, but that's it. Gisela keeps coming back, sometimes as a young girl, but in a number of episodes she speaks as an old woman. I have removed (visible) traces of modernity, but I have indeed not taken care to preserve the story. I haven't made up my mind yet about this but your comments help! — As for the piece "NIGHT FLIGHT": this is indeed supposed to be Gisela. I begin with a piece of (undeveloped) back story. My original vision was a novel-size text feeding on the life of the historical figure Gisela, but after the 100 day project ended in the real/virtual world, I somehow lost heart to be honest. Perhaps this is one of those stories that need to ripen and be finished at a later stage. — Thank you again!

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day In Dublin
For dinner, try Bang Cafe on Merrion Row — it's simple in style, but exquisite in food. Contrary to its name, Bang is known for having a relaxed and leisurely paced atmosphere. Since its inception, Chef Lorcan Cribben has been turning local ingredients, organic food and free-range meats into delicious creations. While wine and beer can be good with entrees like the Fillet of Roast Turbot, Bang's cocktail menu might be your best bet, with three different types — "Aperitifs," "Shots" and "Sweeteners" — to choose from. Just make sure to reserve your table in advance, especially for this occasion.
Although the 2008 St. Patrick's Day evening includes a concert by Mary Black and a live performance by traditional Irish band Kila, we'd suggest that you hit Dublin's oldest and wisest pub instead: The Brazen Head, open for business since 1198. Located near the Guinness Brewery, the pub covers three rooms, with two dedicated to live music. The bar's unique look features low ceilings, fireplaces and crooked doorways. Pictures on the walls show off the pub's history and patrons can enjoy a St. Patrick's Day pint in the courtyard. Remember to walk outside for an ideal view of Skyfest, the St. Patrick's Day fireworks display. With a drink in hand, fireworks in the sky, and festive people around you, there's no doubt that you'll have celebrated St. Patrick's Day in the right place.
tips for the trip
- The actual date for recognizing St. Patrick's passing changes depending on conflicts with Holy Week — it moves to March 15th in 2008, for instance — but March 17th is always Ireland's day to celebrate.
- Check out Leo Burdock's, an institution for fish and chips for nearly 100 years. Tom Cruise and Liam Neeson have visited Burdock's in the past.
- If you're a night owl, you might try the Gaiety Theatre. The spacious venue hosts musicals, live bands and is the latest nightclub in town, closing at 4.a.m.
a st. patrick's day adventureNo matter where you're celebrating St. Patrick's Day, nothing quite compares to spending it in Dublin. If you can't make it to Ireland this time, be sure to sample a Guinness, wear the appropriate colors, and be merry. The friendly and festive folks of Ireland will thank you for it.

DALLAS (SMU) - Thanks in part to persistent defensive pressure, the SMU women's basketball team scored 13 second-half points off Maine turnovers to roll past the Black Bears by the score of 58-44 Sunday afternoon at Moody Coliseum on the campus of SMU. With the win, SMU improves to 2-0 on the young season while Maine still looks for its first win of the season (0-3).
Maine scored the first points of the game but that was the last time the Black Bears would hold a lead. SMU's tenacious defense was put into motion right from the opening tip-off and did not let down until the final game horn. The Mustangs were also able to score on high percentage shots in the paint. SMU slowly built up a seven-point lead at halftime, 24-17. In the second half, SMU shot nearly 41% from the field and once again, created offense from its defense. The Mustangs' lead was extended to as many as 21 points (52-31 with 5:46 remaining), but the Black Bears did not give up, using a full-court pressure. Maine did cut the lead to 14 points near the end of the game, but it was too little, too late for Maine.
Three SMU players scored in double figures, led by junior Sarah Davis with 14 points and eight rebounds. Junior Kendall Shead posted 11 points, eight rebounds and tied her career-high mark with seven steals. Freshman Janielle Dodds contributed 13 points with six rebounds in an entertaining game.
SMU continues its homestand with the SMU Hoops for the Cure Classic this Friday and Saturday at Moody Coliseum. McNeese State takes on Mississippi Friday at 5:00 p.m. followed by Mercer and SMU at 7:00 p.m. The consolation and championship games are scheduled for Saturday at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., respectively. Proceeds from the Classic benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.

Miley Cyrus' engagement ring has been MIA as of late, and for a really good reason. But unlike what the media make you think, it's not that she's called off her wedding to actor Liam Hemsworth.
The singer took to Twitter late Thursday night to clear up the real reason her finger is bare in an exchange with her back-up singer Lindsey J. Lee. After Lee wrote, "had to send off my engagement ring today to get fixed… one of the little diamonds fell out… I feel naked without it :( so sad," Cyrus took the occasion to clear up some rumors about her own missing bling.
Miley said, "ugh that's the worst! I just had a similar situation except when it happens to me then everyone says my wedding is off."
She was first spotted without her ring last week , while making her way out of a recording studio, where she is hard at work on her 2013 album release . The singer/actress previously denied calling off her wedding to the "Hunger Games" star on Twitter last Wednesday.
While the former Disney star is currently in the U.S., Hemsworth has been spending time abroad. He first went home to Australia and, on Friday, was in Manila, Philippines, where he was making promotional appearances as the face of the Bench clothing line, according to the brand's Instagram account.
Cyrus' statement about her ring came on the same day she thanked fellow starlet Evan Rachel Wood for speaking out against tabloids. "I ♥ @evanrachelwood Thank you for always speakin the truth. #badbitchcontestyoureinfirstplace," she shared.

The Georgia SPCA is a no kill animal shelter in Suwanee GA. Stop by any day of the week to adopt, donate, or volunteer.
It may not seem as though your cat is doing much when he is lounging near a sunny window for hours on end, but he's burning energy - and a lot of it - all day. In fact, your lap cat needs more energy-producing nutrients, like protein, than most dogs do in order to stay healthy and active.
Changing Needs
As your kitten reaches adulthood, his nutritional needs change. He needs less protein and fat and fewer calories. You can switch your cat to an adult food when he's one year old. When you switch to a new food, do it gradually. Over a two-week period mix in more and more of the new food as you decrease the amount of his original food.
So What Should You Feed Your Cat?
The short answer: Pick a premium food formulated for your adult or older cat. Most premium pet food manufacturers invest considerable time and money researching the best formula for cats and performing feeding trials. These trials test cats who eat the food to make sure they're getting the balanced nutrition they need to keep them healthy. And while different brands of premium products may include a different mix of nutrients, all contain high-quality ingredients, which is one of the most important factors in choosing an adult cat's food.
Remember, when you're choosing a pet food, you generally get what you pay for. More expensive products are usually made from higher-quality ingredients, which means your cat can digest the food more easily and retain more nutritional value from each bite. And because your pet eats less when it's a high-quality product, you'll have less work when you go to clean the litter box.
Not sure if your cat's food measures up? The better the diet, the better your pet should look. One good sign is a shiny, silky coat with no dry skin.
If your older cat develops such health problems as kidney or intestinal disease, your veterinarian may suggest a premium therapeutic diet that's specially formulated to improve your pet's health.
Protein is Key
Unlike the omnivorous dog, the cat is a carnivore, or meat eater. What does that mean? Your kitty needs a whole lot of meat-based protein every day. And because he metabolizes protein and fat so efficiently, he needs them to make up a big chunk of his diet.
Cats also need certain essential amino acids that their bodies can't produce. One of the most important of these is taurine.
Taurine deficiency can cause serious health problems in cats, including cardiomyopathy (or weakened heart muscle disease), reproductive disorders, and retinal degeneration and blindness. Feeding your kitty a premium food is your best insurance against taurine deficiency because premium food manufacturers make sure their brands give your cat the taurine levels he needs - plus the right amounts of many other nutrients.
Avoid Magnesium
High levels of magnesium are a special concern because too much magnesium can contribute to feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), which can cause painful urination, blood in the urine, and in severe cases, urethral blockage - a life-threatening condition if not treated quickly.
Fortunately, you can take simple steps to help keep your cat safe from FLUTD. Providing premium foods, clean litter boxes, and lots of fresh water reduces your cat's chances of developing this painful and potentially fatal disease.
Dog Food Just Won't Do
If you're running low on your cat's favorite chow, don't reach for your pooch's food. Why? Dog food doesn't contain enough protein or the right amino acids - including taurine. And the magnesium levels are too high for your feline friend.
No need to panic, though, if you catch your pouncer snacking at the dog's bowl. Just discourage the habit and make sure he eats plenty of his own food.

Motoi Yamamoto's Mind-Bogglingly Intricate Mazes Drawn with Salt
Start Slideshow
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsJapanese installation artist, Motoi Yamamoto, is an incredibly patient man, so patient that he will spend 50 hours or more crouched on the floor as he draws out his intricate and delicate mazes. He uses hundreds of pounds of refined salt piped out ofa plastic squeeze bottle to construct what he appropriately calls his Labyrinths. At the end of the installation's show, visitors are asked to collect the salt from the floor and then everyone travels to the ocean or a river to return it to the water.1
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsYamamoto has constructed close to 30 of these mazes since he started working with salt in 2001.2
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsHis salt drawings began a decade ago after his sister passed away from brain cancer.3
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsHe began sketching with salt, which in Japan is a symbol for purification and mourning, as a way of honoring her and expressing a sense of eternity.4
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsYamamoto starts his work in the back and works his way forward so as not to touch or cross over his previous work.5
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsHe latest installations include a massive circular project on the floors of the Saint Peter Cologne as part of their artist program in the Spring of 2010.6
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsMass was performed around the installation for a couple months and at the end, a group of children collected the salt and dumped it into the Rhine River, where eventually it will return to the sea.7
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsIn a sense, this is a Cradle to Cradle art installation.8
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsThe delicate salt lines are created by drawing the salt with a plastic squeeze bottle.9
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsBefore Cologne, Yamamoto did an installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, Japan.10
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsA recent installation at the Fondation Espace Ecureuil, a gallery in France, is built into a brick tunnel with mounds of salt at the back morphing into the delicate maze near the front. For this installation, Yamamoto required 2,200 pounds of salt!11
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsHis latest installation is in Marseilles and is a bit of a departure from his typical linear labyrinth pattern and resembles something more like lace12
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsThere is something incredibly poetic about all of his work, from the painstaking details, his hours on the floor, all the way to how the installation is taken away and returned to the sea.13
- Motoi Yamamoto LabyrinthsWouldn't it be amazing if the mazes actually worked and there was a start and a finish?14

Having a healthy relationship with your husband, wife or life partner has many benefits to a longer healthier life for both people involved in the relationship.
People who enjoy the company of a life partner also enjoy the benefits of a happier life 'if' the two get along well together. Long-term commitments pledging monogamy, children, grandchildren, stability and peace of mind are all thoughts that come to mind when thinking of married life and having someone to grow old with.
If you are thinking about marriage a life-long commitment with one person you need to talk over all your concerns with the other person involved. Developing good communication before marriage is a key to a lasting marriage. Opposites attract but like minded individuals get along very well.
Ask questions and seek answers to all before tying the knot. There are many questions that need answering before taking the leap into the world of marriage and responsibility.
The two biggest deal breakers are money and sex. Financial problems and sexual problems both rank at the top reasons for divorce.
Do you want children?
If she wants three children and you don't want any, she might not be the right choice for you. If he wants a stay at home wife and mother and she wants a career and no children maybe he's not the right choice for marriage material for her.
Do you want to work?
Who is going to be the bread winner of the family?
Do you want to go to collage?
Want a career?
Where do you want to live?
By her parents or his? In the state you marry or in another?
Having Friends?
Can she have girls night out? Go shopping or socializing? Can he have poker night with the boys or go to the bar with his friends?
These are just a few of the questions that need to be answered before entering into the bonds of marriage that tie two people together until death due them part.
