Austin is an amazing breakfast taco town. And for those with a sweet tooth, there's no shortage of memorable donuts. But one breakfast choice that deserves more love is the incomparable kolache.
For those who have yet to experience these little pillows of perfection, kolaches (pronounced kuh-LAH-chee) are Czech and Slovak pastries that (thankfully) made their way to Texas and parts of the Midwest. Traditionally, a kolache is a ring of slightly sweet dough surrounding a dollop of fruit filling. In Texas, we're lucky to have related versions with sausage, cheese, jalapeño and other savory fillings. Technically called a klobasnek, but often referred to as kolaches, these tasty treats look like pig in blankets on steroids.
Many will tell you the best kolaches are found in West, Texas a little over 100 miles north of Austin. However, before you make the pilgrimage, you should try all the wonderful kolache places right here in the ATX. They're sometimes sold at donut shops and sometimes at dedicated shops. But where there's a will to locate a tasty, warm kolache, there's always a way. To get you started, here are just a few of my favorite kolache places in Austin. [Read more…]

Memorial grows for KinderCare crash victims; Staff picks up belongings from center
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - Four days after a car was sent crashing into an Orange County day care, friends and strangers are still bringing stuffed animals and flowers to add to a growing memorial.
KinderCare had planned a news conference for Saturday where teachers were expected to talk about the crash and plans for the building, but it was canceled to give everyone involved more time to cope.
Teachers and staff were at the site of the crash Saturday to collect their belongings.
Channel 9's Myrt Price spoke with a former teacher at the day care center.
She said her old classroom was the one the car crashed into after investigators said Robert Corchado ran another driver off the road and into the building, killing one student and injuring more than a dozen others.
"It was devastating because I never thought anything like that would happen," said Marquilla Robinson.
Saturday afternoon was the first time Robinson was able to come to the site of the crash.
"It took all the strength I could muster up to come here," she said.
Robinson said she taught many of the same children who were involved in the wreck, including 4-year-old Lily Quintus, who lost her life.
"Lily probably would have wound up being president because Lily was that type of child," Robinson said.
Robinson said she wanted to show her support for her former co-workers.
"That is something that's very hard to deal with," she said. "I wanted to hopefully run into someone and hug them, and so be it I did. I ran into the supervisor."
She said the teachers are hurting and she hopes she and others can give them the help they need to get through the tragedy.
Corchado meanwhile, won't be out of jail anytime soon.
A judge denied him bond Friday after prosecutors argued he was a flight risk.
Later in the day, Seminole County prosecutors filed a motion to revoke his bond there on charges of a previous hit-and-run.
Governor Rick Scott's office sent a statement saying the Florida Department of Transportation will conduct a safety analysis of the area on Goldenrod Road near University Drive to examine if additional safety measures can be taken to better protect families.

Xannya- Desperation
My feet gave way and my knees crashed onto the torn pavement. Rats scuttled out of the gutter, and smoke twisted into the blue skies causing it to turn grey. I held my ears shut. It was so loud, and I didn't want to hear anything, but I could hear everything; the twittering of the mice as their tiny paws scratched the smouldering rock, the dying flames flickering in the breeze, the howling wind crying for its planet, and a voice. A human's voice, I think.
""Don't worry.....you out......... Hold On! Someone screamed in the distance. There had to have been other survivors, and they were close. They couldn't have been too far away; my ears wouldn't have picked it up if they were.
My eyes searched frantically for any sign of movement, I could see so clearly, the rocks, the charred billboard and the remains of an old GAP Store, I could even see colours I had never imagined, but no sign of life.
I ran frantically towards the chaos, looking, crying for someone, anyone with answers.
'Am I hearing voices in my head now?! Was that voice a hallucination? Was Norah dead now? Was I going to die? Am I the last man alive?' Thoughts erupted in my mind. They turned more depressing. 'What happened to my parents? I don't even know if I had any, but yesterday, there was always the slight chance of meeting them, now, there was none...Would I ever experience love, get married, lead a normal life, with kids, maybe a dog, somewhere on the coast in California? Maybe if I did not drink so damn much, I would have had a boyfriend, one who loved me..., is there no chance left? Can I still make my life worth something if there is nothing to make it worth with?'
I burst into tears and crumpled to the floor in agony. I was alone. I had never felt such a deep urge for a good bottle of Black Label. Just drink my lungs out, and put all my pains and fears to sleep.
I'm going to die, alone, with no one. Just a piece of trash..why, why WHY!?" I thought to myself, over and over again, till my thoughts grew louder than the noise around.
"WHY ME!?" WHY ME, GOD, OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU COULD HAVE SAVED, ME?!?!" I yelled in my head, banging my fists on the decrepit wall that stood, shaking weekly. The wall groaned, and crashed to the ground. I picked at the remains, and began to laugh cynically. I fell flat on my stomach and laughed, swore a thousand times, and banged my fists to the floor yelling and screaming, throwing a tantrum....I needed someone, anyone to tell me I was not alone. Then, I thought, that if there was no one left, I was useless. I was going to be alone forever. I did not want that....I thought of simply dying, killing myself to prevent further pain.
I began to scramble on the ground in a desperate attempt to search for something sharp enough to pierce through my skin, sharp enough to end my useless existence.

A Lost Child
She smiled to herself, proud that she had discovered the talisman to the raven's happiness. She felt a cool shiver of joy despite the upside down world of hard sky pressing into her face like a stone. The raven hopped from his rock and flapped the few feet to land on the cold table beside her face. He peered sideways at her and for a moment she thought he might pluck out her eye, but the bird stretched his coal dark wings out into a curtain of night that blacked the sky and the table and silenced the gurgling waters so she found herself hanging like a star at midnight.
She heard the raven croak, but could not see him in the darkness. She tried to turn her head, but still she felt as if God pressed his invisible hand down on her.
"Where are you," she asked. Her voice felt like someone else, like the voice of a lost child.
She felt a stirring behind her. A black shape in the black moved like a shadow at the bottom of the sea.
"Here," he grumbled, and she saw a face lit like pale smoke rise up to her from the night.
"Who are you?" she asked, confused and suddenly full of loss that her raven had left her in the dark with this stranger.
He raised a bony, long nailed finger to his lips and shushed her.
"Stay with me," his stony voice plucked a familiar chord in her ears. She squinted until she could make out a glimmer in his black eyes.

Chapter 4Mature
Then as if nature had let out a held breath, the weather kicked back in. Around us, a small bubble of that timeless calm seemed to settle. I could hear the roar of the growing storm, but it sounded as if it were miles away. I laid my head on Ezell's back and sighed. It was oddly relaxing there on the bike.
"Is that a sigh of content I hear? He said over his shoulder, a smirk playing around his lips. Or at least I think there was a smirk on his lips, I could hear it in his voice. I took a moment to take in his scent and had to fight off another sigh. Have I mentioned that he smells really good? This time, he smelled more masculine, no cologne involved. I'm not going to lie, it was nigh on irresistible.
"No!" I finally managed, having snapped out of my reverie. "It was a sigh of exasperation at having to be stuck on a bike with you! Where are we going, anyways?" I looked over Ezell's shoulder and saw what looked like the forest through the wild flurries of snow. The trees stood bravely against the snows' attack like stubborn old men ready to fight until the very end.
"Ooh, Touchy today are we? I looked down at how close we were and stiffened as I realized that his statement could be taken in an entirely different way. As if he could read my mind, and I had a hunch that he actually could, he started laughing again. How is it that this guy ended up making me feel like a moron every time we were together?
"Sh-shut up!" I shouted as we turned off the main road and entered the forest. The path we drove on was little more than a wide deer trail that wound through the trees. We'd driven through the forest so quickly when we'd first moved here, that I hadn't noticed how pretty it was. I craned my neck to look up at the canopy of leaves, it was dark as night under the trees, the place had a weird sense of twilight to it and I couldn't help but think we'd left the real world behind. I took in the snow gathered at the foot of each of these gigantic trees, they hadn't been nearly this big the first time, had they? It looked as if the storm had stopped almost entirely, so Ezell pulled over and gracefully dismounted. The strange bubble of calm that had surrounded us dissipated, the cold hit me full force and I couldn't help but shiver. Note to self: More layers next time. I jumped when I felt sudden warmth. While I had been taking in the forest, Ezell had stripped off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders, but his arms stayed wrapped around me. I looked up into his eyes, momentarily forgetting how to breathe. That same intense look from that night in the park was back.
"Your cheeks and nose are pink. It's actually quite cute." And then he kissed me on the tip of my frozen nose. Both of his hands rose to gently rub life back into my frozen cheeks and I sighed at the rough feel of them. They were warm, warmer than a normal human's that was for sure. Ezell's gentle ministrations stopped, his eyes flickered to my lips, and mine did the same to his. I felt my heart give a fluttery half-beat as he bent slightly and kissed me. I was still sitting on the bike, so as he leaned into me a little, I ended up straddling him, which he didn't seem to mind at all. One of his arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me even closer. My fingers buried themselves in his long black hair, he broke our kiss for a moment and ran his lips down my neck. He stopped for a moment to nibble at my exposed collar bone and a slight moan escaped my lips.
"Wait," I gasped as Ezell pulled me closer and kissed me again, his other hand began to inch its' way under my shirt. I shoved at him and he stumbled backwards. Geez, I had just been making out with a virtual stranger, and enjoying it immensely. A part of me wanted to yell 'just kidding!' and get back to it. What happened to the 'chat' we were supposed to be having right now? Or had he driven me out here to take advantage of me? Not that I wasn't entirely at fault here, I had gotten on the bike, and I had for just a moment, really enjoyed kissing him. But that was bordering on a thought process I truly wasn't prepared to face right now.
"What? What's wrong?" Ezell breathed heavily and ran his fingers through his dishelved black hair, which I had torn out of its' elastic. His eyes were now molten gold and had a definite feline quality to them that I was beginning to associate with the creatures around this odd little town.
"You're an Other!" I gasped and he winced as if I'd just said a bad word.
"No, I'm not an Other," Ezell motioned off down the deer trail, which I took to mean 'I'm too horny to actually formulate the English language right now, but we're going down this trail.' and lifted all 6 feet and 170ish pounds of me off of his bike with ridiculous ease. He held me for a moment but I broke away and began to stomp off down the trail, cheeks pink for an entirely different reason.
"What are you then?" I said as he matched my stride easily. He looked mildly ticked at the fact that we weren't back on his bike making out heavily anymore, but he could just deal with it.
"No idea." I looked at his face, but it was deadly serious. "All I know is that I'm entirely unlike any of the Other races on the face of this planet, I'm an anomaly."
Ouch, talk about messed up. And here I thought my life was the pits, what with a dead father and our constant migrating. At least I knew who I was, Judging by what Ezell said, he was an orphan.
"Depressing?" He inserted, His face expressionless.
"Yeah, let's go with that."
An awkward silence ensued. It must have been at least 15 minutes when we reached a small clearing. The remains of stone building sat in the middle of it. I would have missed the ruins if not for Ezell. He stooped next to one of the walls and brushed the snow off of something Curious, I looked over his shoulder to see a flat stone. There must have been words on it at some point, but the weather had all but obliterated them. His shoulders sagged for a moment like those of a much older man's, as if he carried a burden that was overwhelming, but then it was gone and he was back to his usual confidently annoying self again. He turned to look at me and smiled.
"This used to be an inn, you know, all sorts of people and creatures came here." He stood and passed through what had most likely been the front door and stood there, remembering how the place used to look. "This meadow was perfect for it, since it's not only in your world, but in the Shadow Realms too."
"Shadow Realms?" Why is it that everyone around here seemed by far more was clued in on all of this madness then I was? It was crap.
"You know, the realm of Faerie? The spirit world, Dreamtime?" I nodded in recognition of the terms, but it didn't answer any of the questions on my steadily growing list. I was in the middle of a forest with some guy who was turning out to be one big mystery. For example, no way could he have ever been to this inn, a Rowan tree that was 50 years old at the least had sprung up in the middle of the old building. I watched Ezell walk from room to room, explaining the way it used to look, skirting around now nonexistent tables and people. Could he really be that old? He stopped at the rowan tree and stared up at its gently swaying branches.
"So, I bet you're wondering if I brought you out here to take advantage of you, right?" Bet you my college tuition the answer to that was most definitely and without a doubt, yes. I had already ended up sucking face with the guy; heavens know what else he would try to get me to do.
"The thought did cross my mind, yes." Ezell chuckled slightly as he leaned against the trunk of the Rowan tree. Even though he had only been wearing a t-shirt under the jacket, he looked comfortable leaning there against that partially frozen tree He looked me up and down and smirked. I hated his stupid smirk.
"You're beautiful, especially with those pink cheeks."
"Hey now, focus." I brushed aside his compliment, and folded my arms in a fairly good imitation of my mom's 'don't bullshit me' stance. "We're talking, that's all."
"I'd rather we go back to kissing, but fine. Talk we shall." He waved a hand dismissively. "You can start, but you have to promise to answer any questions I ask"
I nodded, that seemed fair enough.
...Hm, not that I could actually ask him anything, what did I want to ask? Did I want to ask about my weird house? Casters? Or maybe, I should find out more about this strange guy who looked a few years older than me, but seemed a lot older? Not to mention the town itself, there was just too many secrets here...
"You said you know where I live, right?" He nodded, brows raised impatiently. "So, who was the old owner? I mean I met a brownie yesterday and all he could tell me was that Alexander Caraway was a Caster, or whatever."
"Ah, so you met Alex's Brownie? His name was Nanog or something, if I'm remembering correctly." Ezell scratched his chin and smiled fondly at some memory or another. "Oh yes, I remember those days. Alex was one odd fellow, but he was brilliant."
"So he was a Caster? What does that mean, exactly?" Ok, So Ezell was old, 100+ years old. I was not going to dwell on the fact that he was pretty much robbing the cradle by coming onto me, that just too creepy to dwell on.
Ezell grinned devilishly and wagged a finger. "Ah ah ah, that's another question. It's my turn now."
"But you didn't even answer the flippin question!" I shouted.
"I told you that Alex was an odd, but brilliant fellow, so in essence, I did answer your question. I answered two, actually so I should get two questions also." Unfortunately, he was right. But why pull such a sneaky move? Was he hiding something about Caraway?
"Fine, ask your dumb questions, nothing perverted, such as what color underwear I'm wearing, or my bra size." Ezell pouted in mock disappointment, and then perked right back up.
"So I can't ask the color of your panties? Well then, what color underwear are you NOT wearing?"
I blushed and sputtered at being asked that so boldly. "What sort of question is that?!"
"You promised to answer." He said in sing-song, his face was wickedly amused. A moment of silence passed, and I finally brought myself to respond.
He leaned forward, hand cupped around an ear. Yeah right, he'd heard me just fine! "What was that?"
"WHITE!" I clamped a hand over my mouth.
"Oh dear," he tutted like an old housewife. "You know what they say about girls who don't wear white panties..."
"No I don't, and I really don't want to know! Ask your next question." Ezell made a big show of this next one, he even went so far as to stroke his almost-beard as if he were contemplating the reasons behind life or death itself, I half expected him to pull a pipe out of his shirt and start gnawing on it.
"Hm...2nd question," He looked up at the sky, down at the snow covered ground, and then back at me. "I can't ask you anything 'perverted' so that cuts my available list drastically..."
"I have it!" he said, snapping his fingers in victory. "Adelle, did you enjoy kissing me earlier?"
My heartbeat leapt to speeds I didn't even know were possible. Although he still wore his usual smirk, it lacked the usual wicked edge of humor. Was it just me, or had this just turned into the most intense game of Q & A ever?
"Or maybe, I should have asked why you seem so very
eager, one moment, then frosty the next? Because I honestly don't get it."
"What's there to get? You show up out of nowhere and start hitting on me? I have no idea who you are, so how can you expect me to instantly trust you?"
"But you like me, you wouldn't have kissed me otherwise." As he said it, I suddenly got extremely interested in the snow-covered ground. I scuffed my boot through it. To be honest, I really wasn't sure how I felt about him just yet. I found him attractive, obviously, but you didn't just jump into the arms of a virtual stranger simply because he was attractive, that's not how the world worked for real people.
"That's two questions, I get two." I said instead of answering.
He looked so serious I shivered. I really wasn't going to like what he was going say.
"Why do you keep letting me kiss you, touch you, and so on If you don't actually like me? I'm not fond of being led on, Adelle."
Oh boy...

That means Marleau could have been at 1277 at the end of 2013 in a year he turns 34. Hard to say, but even then does he play 490 more games just to tie Howe? This is 6 full seasons which would take Marleau to 40 years old. I guess you never know, but there is no chance for it to happen now.

Yes, some are just staying in shape, but others are playing in their home countries and even hometowns (Jagr, Malkin, etc.).
Playing in your home country is one thing (I have no issue when Jagr did that) and playing overseas because you and your peers share part of the blame in being unable to share $3.3 billion is another thing. With a little elbow grease we have a full NHL season. Instead, someone's job is taken away over in Europe. Greed rolls downhill everytime which is why I choose the word "scabs". Hey, the players would say the same thing about replacement players in the NHL wouldn't they? But that's another story. Back on topic.
I also can't agree with you saying it's just "nickel and diming" when some players may miss two full seasons if the current lockout isn't resolved soon. I agree that the players collectively share the responsibility, at least to some degree, for shortened/canceled seasons. However, I don't agree that they should be penalized as individual players for this. I know it's an absurd situation to most of us, but to me it's irrelevant to evaluating a hockey player's greatness.
As far as chances at the HOF, the lockouts may affect the most those players which aren't near-locks anyway, and who either A) lost more than one good season or B) lost at least one peak season when they or their team may have contended for hardware. That would seem to include:
Thomas- only if one believes his declared absence from hockey was affected by the impending lockout
Kiprusoff- he loses two good seasons, a "peak" season in '05 and what still may have been a very good season currently.
Hossa & Alfredsson- they would have been dark horses for individual hardware, but combined with Ottawa's chance for a deep playoff run, the '05 lockout may have hurt them significantly.
Elias- more of a longshot to contend for hardware, but may lose two prime seasons (plus part of '06 indirectly), which significantly hurts his career totals.
Naslund- if not for Bertuzzi incident already happening before end of '04, I would see him as more of a victim of lockout, since he really needed another strong season to give him a good chance.
Datsyuk- may miss two prime seasons, and his team would have been a strong contender in '05.
I believe Iginla, Thornton, St. Louis and Kovalchuk should all be near-locks by the end of their careers. If not, then the lockouts substantially hurt their chances.
I understand the theory that a really HOF-worthy player will get in anyways, but the NHL is on the verge of a second canceled season and one just never knows what would have happened. It's not so much the career totals, where the affects can be roughly estimated. It's the unknown "what would have been?" While I think St. Louis will probably be inducted, what if the lockout had been in '04 instead of '05? His case looks a lot shakier without a Ross, Hart and Cup included in his record. Same with Thornton: a lockout in '06 turns a highly probable induction into a more questionable one. I would guess Daniel Sedin is glad the lockout wasn't in 2011, as a Ross and SCF appearance actually give him a a decent chance, instead of a very slim one. I'm sure there must be other less recent examples of HOFers, which if you deducted their best (or one of their very best) seasons, would have been much less likely to be inducted... and we're looking at possibly two missed seasons out of nine now. It might be a Norris... or a Cup... or a top 3 finish in goals/points... we will never know who would have been helped substantially if they played the 2005 season (let's just hope this one isn't canceled as well).
I understand what you are saying, but I don't like to penalize players as much as just not rewarding them for lost time. That is where I am going with this. If Alfredsson never plays again and Elias for that matter since both are getting old, then I think neither are HHOF caliber. Close, but no cigar in my opinion. Should sentiment prevail and we let them in anyway? I don't like that because we then start lowering the bar and playing favourites. I don't want guys in the HHOF who are there just because we more or less feel sorry for them. It cheapens the Hall.
The names you mentioned may not have a shot anyway. Kipper is no better than a career Mike Liut with or without a lockout. He had one truly elite full season and one wonderful playoff run. Heck, maybe he's Mike Richter. Either way, if he were a HHOFer at his age, we'd know it by now. Thomas is a very strange case and he was just one year removed from the best goalie in the game, so who knows what more he can do.
Hossa, Elias and Alfredsson would be better served with a full 2005 season under their belt but it didn't happen so the important thing is to look at the rest of their career. All of these players lack a certain degree of "eliteness" that we usually like to see in a HHOFer. Look at the 4 inductees in 2012. All of them hit very high levels of play reserved for the greats (Sundin was more or less very, very good for a long time that it's too hard to ignore). I think Hossa has enough left in the tank to change my mind but the other two who knows? Does Elias have one of his hot and cold seasons that he had plenty of in 2004-'05? We don't know.
I don't know if Naslund gets in either way. A 4th season like the previous three definitely puts him more in the conversation but was he a guy who just flamed out rather fast? Who knows, but if he weren't such a late bloomer and a player who aged so horribly we wouldn't even have to ask whether or not he's a HHOFer.
That leaves Datsyuk. Good call on him. Throw in Zetterberg as well. Both players have some miles left in the tank and we'll see where that leaves them. However, Zetterberg just seems to be too great of a playoff performer especially to be left out of the HHOF when all is said and done regardless of the lockouts. He has a well deserved reputation as a clutch performer and he has the Conn Smythe with another very deep run. Considering he is a great two-way player as well as being able to pad some stats in the coming years, I can see him in there anyway. Datsyuk is a bit older with a worse playoff record. He has come around in the latter half of his career after having a poor playoff reputation. He's won the Cups, he has one Smythe worthy run, he won three Selkes already, he's won 4 Lady Byngs (I don't think it helps a whole lot though) and has averaged a point a game in his career all the while finishing 4th in points twice. Throw in being one of the best talents we've ever seen in NHL history and I can't see him being left out when all is said and done.
I mean, as of right now we're looking at some players that even without a lockout would be marginal selections. We also don't know if they require season ending surgery 10 games into the season either. We just don't have the crystal ball to predict that. You can be a guy like Alfredsson who desperately needed the chance to play that one extra season or you can be a legit future HHOFer like Datsyuk who really doesn't need it. Either way I don't think the HHOF is worse without them.

Conflicting statements on the issue came out from the US side with Kerry regretting the treatment meted out to Khobragade, India's Deputy Consul General in New York, and India-born prosecutor Preet Bharara defending her arrest on December 12.
Bharara not only justified her arrest, he conceded that she was strip-searched and confirmed reports that maid Sangeeta Richard's family was "evacuated" to the US, claiming that efforts were being made in India to "silence" them.
Bharara sought clarification as to why the victim's family was harassed
The Indian Embassy here said it had sent a series of requests to the US government to trace the maid and prevent her from blackmailing Khobragade. "No response was received from the US side for any of these communications," the Embassy said as it gave details of the series of communications it made to the US government in the last several months.
It said the only communication received from the State Department sought to defend the maid. The statement was issued by the Embassy after Bharara criticised India's handling of the case. Refuting reports about the manner in which the diplomat was arrested and kept in a prison with drug addicts, Bharara said she was treated well and even offered coffee and allowed to make telephone calls.
He also vowed to hold those breaking the law accountable "no matter how powerful, rich or connected they are." In a statement, Bharara said the victim's family was confronted in numerous ways regarding this case.
"Some focus should perhaps be put on why it was necessary to evacuate the family and what actions were taken in India vis-a-vis them. This office and the Justice Department are compelled to make sure that the victims, witnesses and their families are safe and secure while cases are pending."
A 1999-batch IFS officer, 39-year-old Khobragade was arrested on December 12 on visa fraud charges by the State Department's diplomatic security bureau, and then handed over to the US Marshals Service (USMS).
She has since been posted to India's Permanent Mission in New York. In her complaint, the maid accused the diplomat of violating US laws by underpaying her and forcing her to work for long hours. Khobragade was taken into custody as she was dropping her daughter to school before being released on a USD 250,000 bond after pleading not guilty in court.

The First Battle
"Care to hand her over?" the man asked.
Tawny and Aya stood on either side of me. A growl rumbled from Morrigan's chest and the man took a step back.
"Very well. I guess I'll just have to fight you for her".
He front flipped over the edge of the roof and smashed into the paved floor of the square. The cement crumpled like paper as he hit but he himself was unscathed. The thing that had glinted at his side now revealed itself as an ornate katana. It was of exquisite build and the blade gleamed when he unsheathed it. Snaking down the blade was an etched design of a dragon; it's tail starting just underneath the hilt, the head breathing a jet of fire that reached the tip of the sword.
"One more chance" he said.
Aya snarled from beside me. Hearing someone you perceive as human make such animalistic noises is pretty scary. The man tutted and sliced through the air with his sword. I sensed Morrigan moving around behind me and slyly checked out what she was doing. In her hand, she had a bottle of absinthe and a pack of matches. Where did she even get a bottle of absinthe? And how was it going to help?
Aya and the man glared at each other for a while. I wondered what they were waiting for when I saw Tawny slipping on a pair of brass knuckles.
"Mairie Libellule needs a pair of knuckle dusters to take me on?" the man laughed.
Aya growled as Tawny fell to her knees.
"You'll pay for that, Blade!" Aya roared and charged at the man I guess was called Blade.
He must have been insane. This guy Blade had a sword and Aya had nothing but his fists. His bare fists at that. Blade grinned and ran towards Aya. He swung his sword. Aya knocked it to the ground with his foot. He put his foot down and the blade snapped in two. Blade snarled at him and pulled a dagger out of… I'm not sure where. It just sort of appeared.
"Mairie. Mairie" Tawny said almost hysterically.
I turned to Morrigan. Her cheeks bulged. Her entire mouth was filled with the absinthe. The battle between Aya and Blade continued. Morrigan touched my arm and crept towards the two fighting beasts. I followed her. She pointed at Aya and struck a match.
"Aya! Duck!" I shouted.
He did just as Morrigan sent a jet of flaming absinthe soaring towards Blade. The fire erupted in his face. Cropped black hair and eyes like earth. Was this the face of my killer? How hopeless did that sound? Maybe the situation was hopeless. Morrigan was only okay for as long as the absinthe lasted; Aya was fighting a losing battle and Tawny wasn't even sane at the moment. Another jet of flames from Morrigan.
"Get back by Tawny!" Aya shouted as Blade knocked the bottle of absinthe to the ground and it shattered, spilling the contents.
I scrambled back over to Tawny who still knelt, repeating "Mairie" over and over again like a prayer. Then, from the corner of my eye I saw a woman, around the age of twenty. I could tell just by looking at her that she was a vampire but she was the plainest vampire I'd ever seen. All the male vampires I'd come across seemed to have a very formal dress sense and Tawny and Morrigan's outfits were never dull. Yet this she-vampire presented herself in a mere t-shirt and jeans. Her golden eyes were entrancing. They were the only thing I could focus on.
"Come with me, I can take you somewhere safe." The woman said in a honey-like voice. Her gaze hypnotised me. "You can trust me. My name is Lilith. Fang sent me. I'm-"
"Not my sister!" Morrigan shouted, spraying out the last of the absinthe as she spoke.
The woman's hypnotic gaze faltered. Morrigan was racing towards her, a murderous growl in her throat.
"Mairie Libellule. Dragonfly" said Tawny with a hint of a laugh.
Morrigan reached the golden eyed woman and attacked her like a wild animal. Snarling. Biting. Clawing. A vivid blur of limbs. As the two of them collided the battle between Aya and Blade continued. Blade still had his dagger but for some reason couldn't land a blow on Aya. And it was the same for Aya. They were equal matches. Something wet splashed against my cheek. I looked round in time to see Morrigan rip open the woman's neck with her teeth. Blood trickled down over her chin. The woman's body slumped down to the floor and lay lifelessly, pouring blood into the square.
"Unfortunately for us, she'll be fine in a few hours" Morrigan said, wiping off some of the plasma.
A roar came from Ayumu as Blade unsheathed another katana. This one was shorter than the first and wasn't decorated but he used it just as lethally. Morrigan ran to Aya's side. She moved too fast to keep track of.
"Morrigan Ashley Gray, what can I tell you that you don't know yourself?" Blade asked.
"That trick wont work on me. I remember everything about my human life" Morrigan spat at Blade.
"Fair play" Blade said with a smile.
He charged forwards, aiming for Aya. Aya parried the blow with his arm and grabbed Blade by the throat. Blade barely looked bothered.
"Y'know, sometimes I really hate vampires" Aya said, squeezing.
"The feeling's mutual" Blade said smugly.
He sliced a dagger across Aya's hand, causing him to let go. Blade drew back his katana. Aya was too concerned with his hand to notice. I wanted to shout but Tawny pulled me down to her level. She whispered something but it was too quiet to be heard. I looked to Aya. He was on the ground. Had Blade managed to hit him? No, he'd been pushed. And then I saw Morrigan. The tip of the blade protruded from her back. Blood dripped from the point. Blade growled and ripped the sword out of Morrigan's abdomen. Blood gushed from her stomach, back and mouth. Blade was about to do the same to Aya when someone else entered the square.
"Blade, I hate to burst your bubble but we've gotta go" it was the purple-haired guy from before.
"Since when do you give the orders, Kyo?" Blade snarled.
"Since Fang is on his way here, since Ciara doesn't have a neck anymore, since Niko bailed and since I'm going to black out in less than half an hour!".
Blood stained his shirt and it all seemed to be coming from his chest. Blade hesitated and Aya punched him square in the jaw. Blade shook his head and pointed at the gold eyed woman, Ciara. Kyo picked her up over his shoulder and left the square in a blur.
"Until next we meet, Hallie" Blade said, a chill in his voice and disappeared into the shadows.

I heard someone ask this question and I was intrigued because it had never occurred to me. Do we measure divinity by the physical space that something occupies?

I am a professional in NY who dreamed of owning a property in the Caribbean. I found the perfect place. Since there are expenses with maintaining it, I decided to share it with others as long as they can respect it. My hope is that they love it and take care of it as much as I do. It is a beautiful closed complex with wonderful amenities. Besides having 4 pools in the complex, there are many restaurants in the area, there is a shopping center across the street with great stores, banks, restaurants, supermarket, movie theater and a night club. There is a mini mart in the store in the complex which allows for late night shopping of any essentials from drinks, snacks or cleaning supplies. Be aware that you have to agree to the rental agreement and also the cleaning fee is only for the check-out cleaning because it has to be left ready for the next guest. If you would like someone to clean and cook for you, you can have someone for $25 a day (which you would pay directly to her).

Accepted: 5 August 2015
Converging hierarchies of finite-dimensional semi-definite relaxations have been proposed for state-constrained optimal control problems featuring oscillation phenomena, by relaxing controls as Young measures. These semi-definite relaxations were later on extended to optimal control problems depending linearly on the control input and typically featuring concentration phenomena, interpreting the control as a measure of time with a discrete singular component modeling discontinuities or jumps of the state trajectories. In this contribution, we use measures introduced originally by DiPerna and Majda in the partial differential equations literature to model simultaneously, and in a unified framework, possible oscillation and concentration effects of the optimal control policy. We show that hierarchies of semi-definite relaxations can also be constructed to deal numerically with nonconvex optimal control problems with polynomial vector field and semialgebraic state constraints.

I've heard that when you see someone you love your pupils get bigger, as if your eyes themselves want to swallow them up and trap them inside.
Creative Non-Fiction
Do you wonder if the people who assaulted you ever think about it?
Created in 1995 in the pre-digital video days of A/B roll editing, this educational video about media literacy examines the media's shaping of the Montréal Massacre to deconstruct media representations of violence, trauma and gender. Created with the financial support of the Canadian Studies Directorate and the Ministere de culture du Québec. Included here as part of our No Comment project.
Nothing that bad happened to me. Certainly nothing out of the ordinary. I was lucky. I wasn't raped. I wasn't sexually assaulted. At most, I was sexually harassed. Cross out at most. I was. And even that is so complex and equivocal and tenuous.
If I had to describe myself at twenty, this is what I would write.
A hyper-verbal, defensive, funny, and skinny skate betty. A poet, thin-skinned and capable, ambitious and in love with the idea of love. A lonely girl from a big family who was open to everything and acutely aware that, at any moment, the next man I met could be the one to change my life.
Before reading this essay about accessing appropriate health and wellness care as a sex worker I'm going to ask you to reflect on your own relationship to othering—perpetuating, witnessing and surviving it—and how it has impacted your health.
I attended the University of British Columbia from 2008-2014. I spent four of those six years in the Creative Writing Department, first to get my Bachelor's degree, then my Master's. I was raped twice during my time at UBC, once by one of my classmates in the Creative Writing program.

Read the Honourable-Mention Winning Entry From Our 2015 CNF Contest
Any writer can give you an angst-filled list of reasons why writing didn't happen (again) today: there were the kids. Or a special meeting, or the first sunny day in months, or … Rarely do we mention, "Oh yes, and I was afraid."
In truth, I'm not a poet. Nor do I, as a rule, pester strangers with chitchat.
The honourable mention entry in Room's 2014 Contest Creative Non-Fiction category.
I learned how to pick locks in prison.
I ate my first raw peanut a few months before we left for Sudan.
Fifty years married, devoted to Jesus and family, Mom and Dad had remained your protectors in spite of your adult status and incessant lying, your manic highs and pitiful lows.

The honourable mention for Room's 2011 creative non-fiction contest, judged by Susan Juby.
I never expected there would be music at this funeral.
It was a day at the dead end of February that showed all variations of the colour grey: ashen branches stripped of leaves, cement-coloured clouds, steely frost, the opaque pane of ice under my feet, a window into the river translucent enough to suggest its gunmetal current.

Baud Barf
Definition - What does Baud Barf mean?
Baud barf is a term for seemingly random or illegible ASCII characters generated by line noise or other means. These characters would show up on a text screen during the operation of a 1990s-era modem. The term "baud barf" is mostly associated with dial-up Internet situations where computers are telephones are sharing the same phone lines.
Techopedia explains Baud Barf
In a typical baud barf situation, someone using dial-up Internet was using a computer with a PC-DOS display screen or an early Windows screen. If someone picked up the phone and the line noise came in, it would be represented on the display screen as a series of unreadable characters. This would often go along with a series of noises indicating incoming messages incompatible with the intended use of the interface. People called this baud barf because the screen seemed to "barf up" this useless string of characters.
Like baud modems, baud barf is now mostly a thing of the past. People rarely use dial-up Internet in which computers and telephones share the same lines. Among other advances, the decline of landline telephone systems rendered baud barf an archaic phenomenon.

Preprocessor directives
are actually the instructions to the compiler itself. They are not translated
but are operated directly by the compiler. Note that preprocessor statements
begin with a #symbol, and are NOT terminated by a semicolon. Traditionally,
preprocessor statements are listed at the beginning of the source file.They are
also termed as macros.
1.include directive:
The include directive is
used to include files like as we include header files in the beginning of the
program using #include directive like
2.define directive:
It is used to assign
names to different constants or statements which are to be used repeatedly in a
program. These defined values or statement can be used by main or in the user
defined functions as well. They are used for
a. defining a constant
b. defining a statement
c. defining a mathematical expression
For example
#define PI 3.141593
#define TRUE 1
#define floatingpointno float
Let us take a look at an
example to understand how to use preprocessors in C Programming.

Wellington - Former All Blacks great John Kirwan, who has also coached Italy and Japan at Rugby World Cups as well as being an advocate for sufferers of depression, was honoured with a knighthood Monday.
The 47-year-old was named a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the country's Queen's Birthday honours list for his services to mental health and rugby union.
Kirwan, who played 63 Tests for the All Blacks, has become a campaigner for mental health issues and written about his own battle with depression in the book "All Blacks Don't Cry".
"There were scary times because of the stigma attached to depression, but I have tried to break those down because it is an illness, not a weakness," he told the New Zealand Herald.
He said he thought long and hard about accepting the knighthood and did so "on behalf of all those people who are suffering, to show there is hope.
"My main message is that there is always hope, there is always help, there is always a way out of the troubles."
Kirwan has appeared at the Rugby World Cup five times, as an All Black player in 1987 and 1991, and as the coach of Italy in 2003, and Japan in 2007 and 2011.
Former assistant All Blacks coaches Steve Hansen and Wayne Smith were both made Companions of the New Zealand Order of Merit for their part in the team's World Cup victory last October.
The then head coach Graham Henry had already been knighted in the New Year's honours list, when captain Richie McCaw turned down the offer of an immediate knighthood saying it did not seem appropriate while he was still playing.

Giants at Tampa Bay Buccan nee rs NFC: Atlanta Falcons at Philadelphia EaglesAtlanta escapes 'Frozen Tundra' GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — It looked so perfect for Green Bay. Snow falling. Packers in green and gold. The 'Frozen Tundra' of Lambeau Field in January. Only it wasn't Brett Favre making all the plays. It was Atlanta's Michael Vick. Undaunted by the storied stadium where his own coach lost in the "Ice Bowl" 35 years ago, Vick made history of his own Saturday night. The 22-year-old improvisational genius led the Atlanta Falcons to a shocking 27-7 upset of the Packers in a wild-card playoff before a record crowd of 65,358 stunned souls. The Packers (12-5) were the only team to go unbeaten at VICK home during the regular season. And they had never lost a home playoff game since the NFL instituted a postseason in 1933 in going 13-0 — ll of the wins coming at Lambeau and two more in Milwaukee. The closest they had come was on New Year's Eve 1967, when Bart Starr knifed into the end zone with 13 seconds left to give Green Bay a 21-17 victory over Dallas in the coldest game in NFL history. Favre had built a reputation as the game's greatest cold- weather quarterback, winning all 35 of his starts at home in which the temperature was 34 or below. Vick was 13-of-25 for 117 and rushed IO times for 64 yards, numerous times turning sure sacks into big plays. Ryan Longwell missed a field goal of 47 yards in the fourth and 45 yards in the third. The Falcons (10-6-1), who had backed into the playoffs after losing three of four in December, will travel to Philadelphia for a di visional playoff next weekend. K. JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung New Braunfels midfielder Chelsea Simonson (9) fights off two McCallum defenders during Saturday's 2-0 victory. Unicorns defense locks up 2-0 win Thornton scores first goal of year By Bryan Adams Sports Editor The New Braunfels girls soccer team limited Austin McCallum to one shot on goal and opened the 2003 season with a 2-0 victory Saturday night at Unicorn Stadium. "When a baft got back there (in Unicorn territory), which wasn't that often, the defense was always there. If they were having trouble, the midfield was right there to help them out. Our defense played exceptional tonight," NB head coach Al Dressen said. Of the 40 minutes allotted for the first half, the Lady Knights spent a total of 4 minutes and 50 seconds in Unicom territory. Their only shot came with IO seconds left in the half. It sailed wide. "We've got some girls who are really good ball-handlers and have really good touches on the ball," Dressen said. "Seeing the whole field and knowing what's fixing to happen is the key to controlling the bail." The starting defensive line included sweeper Hat Speck, Sammy Lingamfelter, Caitlin Buchanan and stopper Sarah Norris. After graduating three seniors off of last year's defensive line, Dressen experimenting with several players on defense. Caitlin Chrystal, Kayla Olson and Jennifer Shumway also played some on the back line. "We're still experimenting a little bit and trying some people out at different spots. We have a lot of good players, but we have to decide which ones to leave on varsity," Dressen said. "Rat (Speck) sprained her knee a little bit and we needed to ice it for awhile. Jennifer (Shumway) did a great job back there at sweeper. She played well at outside-mid too. She has really stepped up a couple of notches this year." The Unicorns wasted little time scoring the first goal of See NB GIRLS SOCCER/9A Back on track SV gets boost from added players in 70-61 win over Antonian By Bryan Adams Sports Editor The Smithson Valley boys basketball team improved its record to 2-2 since the football season ended with a 70-61 victory over San Antonio Antonian Saturday at SVHS. With the added size and athleticism of Josh Gregory, Jamie Kern, Hank Schoggin, Justin Hughes and Josh Little, the Rangers (4-15) were able to spread the ball around a little more on offense and play tighter defense. Tied 41-41 at the start of the fourth quarter, Schoggin stole the bah at mid-court and finished with a lay-up at the other end to give the Rangers a 43-41 lead. Smithson Valley never trailed after that. "We ran a half-court trap almost the whole night, and I think eventually it just started wearing on them (Apaches). Hank Schoggin really stepped up and made a difference," SV head coach Allan Miller said. "They went as long as they could, but I think they ran out of gas." Antonian was coming off a 65-36 loss to Harlandale Friday night. Sc hoggin finished with IO points, four steals and four rebounds. SVs added dimensions opened up the perimeter for leading-scorer Chase Johnson, who racked up ll of his game-high 22 points in the fourth quarter and connected on 2-of-4 three-point attempts in the second half. "They (five football players) add height and a lot more depth to our team, so we feel a lot more comfortable. Not that the other players were not necessarily as good, it's just that we feel more comfortable because we've played with them for a long time," Johnson said. SV trailed by as much as 13 midway through the third quarter until Hughes drove the middle of the lane for an easy finger-roll and Johnson's steal led to a transition lay-up, starting a 15-0 run.

New Braunfels captures consolation championshipCampos shuts down Rattlers in shootout By Bryan Adams Sports Editor The New Braunfels boys soccer team returned 13 seniors in 2002 and opened the season with two wins and one loss at the Unicorn Invitational Tournament. The Unicorns defeated Elgin and Seguin before losing to Round Rock Stony Point iii the championship game. The Unicorns returned just three lettermen this year, but again they started the season 2-1 after beating San Marcos rn a shootout Saturday in the consolation championship game. "At the beginning of the season we looked at how young we were and we're just trying to get these kids as much experience as we can in these tournament. I think we accomplished that rn this tourna ment," New Braunfels head coach Todd Belding said. After falling behind 1-0 in the first half, New Braunfels sophomore Sean Murray scored the equalizing goal with less than 15 minutes remaining in the game. "We got down again 1-0 early, but Tm really proud of the way the kids hung in there and stayed with it," Behbng said. "I certainly feel like we outplayed San Marcos in the second half'. The kids are really taking to the coaching. We have a bunch of guys watching them and giving them some great tips. I think our guys are really taking that advice and putting it to good use on the field. "I felt like we were stdl attacking well after we scored, but we talked about what we ware going to do if we got tied. We thought if we were moving the ball really well than we wanted to continue to attack. We See NB BOYS SOCCERS Rangers beat Coogs at Rebel Cup 4-0 K. JESSIE SLATEN/Hemid-Zeitung New Braunfels senior David Gribbon (13) steals the ball during the Unicom Invitational Boys Soccer Tournament. NB defeated San Marcos in the consolation championship game Saturday. From staff reports The Smithson Valley boys soccer team won three of four at this weekend's Rebel Cup at Hays High School, including a 4-0 win over cross-county rival Canyon in the consolation championship game. Andrew Sweet scored two goals, Jason Clark scored his first goal of the season and Ryan Borgeson added a goal. Darren McCutehen scored two goals in the Rangers' 2-0 win over Round Rock Westwood on Friday and scored the only goal in a 1-1 tie (won 7-6 in shootout) against Hays Saturday. Plugerville Connally handed SV its only loss, 4-2, in he second round Friday. Reagan Schneider and Brad Ray scored goals. Canyon fought to a 0-0 tie at the end of regulation against Boerne in the third round of the Rebel Cup Classic and prevailed 4-3 in a shootout. Junior goalkeeper Joe Isaac denied all shots in regulation, including a leaping save on a Boerne penalty kick. After Zeb Vicknair evened the shootout at 1-1, Boerne went up 3*1. Bryan Jonas then scored on Canyon's fourth allot and Juan Sanchez netted tin; fifth shot. Canyon goalkeeper Ned Hill saved Boerne'* fourth and fifth shots. "Neil (Hill) has a little bit more vaixity experience so we put him in for the shootout," Canyon head coach Rob Rush said. "It's a great luxury to have two goalies that you can really depend on." In the second shootout, Ryan Thomason scored tile game-winner. . • ;

Hank's Story
In 1923, Hank and his brother, Peter, take the Orphan Train to Nebraska, where they become virtual servants on the Olsons' farm. Soon Peter runs away, leaving Hank to bear the Olsons' sharp tongues and violent anger. He is sure the loneliness will kill him. Then he meets Molly McIntire, who, like Hank, trusts animals more than people. With Molly's help, he learns that orphans have rights, too-even if they have to fight for them. "Heart-wrenching and gripping." (School Library Journal)

2. Our target market is businesses earning $500K - $20MIL per year profit.
They're ALREADY spending ~$10K-$200K/month on online marketing such as PPC, SEO, social media and getting a great ROI.
They don't have time to learn CRO or implement it in-house and would happily pay a proven expert a premium and have it done faster, more effectively and worry free.
Our ideal customer is NOT a complete beginner to CRO and knows about the Google website optimizer, cheap testing tools, and even has access to CRO training guides – YET they still want a professional CRO agency to do the work.
So our target audience is usually the business owner/entrepreneur, but for bigger companies, it could be the marketing director.

I would boo a New York 7 year old girl in a spelling bee to tears just on principle. But that term? I have not used it since because of that.
The Isles and their posters here at HF I always got along well with. I can hardly believe that they are New Yorkers. I can have a rational and enjoyable conversation with Isle fans and they have always been one of my favorite fan bases. But Ranger fans? Nope. But I have shied awau from that term for a while.

It's up to the discretion as to if the nickname is meant in malice or not. Rangers fans rallied to get 'Rags' included in the list of no-nos.
Before posts started getting changed last year I'd never even thought of Rags as a derogatory name. That was no different in my eyes than Bolts, Pens, or Sens...it was just the single syllable shortened version of the name.
If you use it on there boards they might see it as trolling or flaming. Elsewhere we look at it in the context it is used.
