The boy skateboards down the street, listening to his music through his Skullcandy headphones, leaning back to turn around a corner. Stopping at a red light, he cries out to the dark-haired boy sitting on the front step of an apartment building directly across from him. The boy raises his brown eyes and smiles as the rainbow haired boy removes his headphones as he crosses the street.
"Hey, David," says the boy with the skateboard, running his long fingers through his rainbow hair.
"Hey, Chess," says David, the dark-haired boy, taking in the rainbow hair. "What's with that?"
Chess drags his fingers through his multicolored hair again and smiles.
"What? I like it," he winks at a couple of giggling girls that walk past, making them giggle harder.
David's eyes get wider. "Are you wearing... eyeliner?"
Chess's smile grows and he sticks out his tongue, piercing clicking against his straight, white teeth on the way out between his full lips. "It's only eyeliner, don't worry!"
David rolls his eyes.
"I go away for five weeks and when I come back, you're not even the same geek you used to be!"
"So? Now that the step-loser divorced my mom, I can do what I want to do," David's jaw drops.
"Your step-dad... what? I'm so sorry!"
"Don't be. I'm glad the old bastard's gone!" Chess sighs, gets up off the steps, and starts walking towards the skate park. When David catches up, he continues. "Now the old fuck can't hit my mom anymore, he can't spend every one of my mom's paychecks on drugs and alcohol!" Chess laughs bitterly. "In the last two weeks, my mom and I have made so much more money than we're used to having. For spring break, we're going to Disneyworld with my little sister. Fucking Disneyworld, David! Do you have any idea how excited she is!?"
David slowly smiles. "And he can't do creepy shit to you anymore."
Chess's smile disappears.
"Oh, shit, sorry," David frowns.
"Nah. It's okay," Chess shakes his head, forcing his smile to return. "The asshole's gone. Besides, it sucks to have to watch what you say all the time."
They finally make it to the skate park and Chess sits on a bench to wait while David unchains his BMX.
"I can't believe school starts tomorrow," David sighs, putting the key in the lock. "Grade twelve... Then I'll go on to be a lawyer, and you'll be stuck flipping burgers for the rest of your life." He laughs.
"Nah. I'll take care of my mom and Kaylee for a year or two, then go to university and become a teacher." Chess puts his skateboard on his lap and motions for David to sit down.
"Really, Chester? You're going to become a teacher!? I thought you hated school."
"Not really. I just hate most of the teachers. That's really all anyone hates about school. So, I'm going to be a cool teacher, and then people will actually want to go to school!"
"Wow... so, why are we sitting here instead of showing off?"
"I....." Chester, known as Chess to all his friends, falters. "I need to tell you something. Something important that you can't tell anyone!"
"Do you cut yourself?"
"Yes, but that's not the point," Chester sighs. "This is harder to say than I would have thought."
"You're messed up... But tell me already!"
Chester takes a deep breath. "I'm bi."

The pressure gradient will tighten somewhat N of 20N Wednesday through Friday as the ridge builds modestly into the region, with winds and seas increasing slightly. In the Gulf of California, mainly light and variable winds are expected through Thursday, with seas of 2 ft or less, except 3 to 4 ft near the entrance. Low pressure will deepen just N of the area over SW Arizona by Wednesday night through the end of the week. A trough will extend from the low across the northern Gulf to Baja California Norte.

The ridge will drift on Wednesday as a trough moves SE across the waters N of 30N accompanied by long period NW swell. This will build seas to 6 to 8 ft from 30N to 32N between 120W and 135W. Elsewhere N of the convergence zone, the weak ridge will maintain moderate trade winds S of 18N, with seas of 5 to 7 ft expected. Little change is anticipated through the upcoming weekend. $$ ERA

Starting a website or blog is not just the beginning of a wonderful online business but more than that.
Yes, it is a process of unlocking your unlimited potential by which you can diversify your skills and start generating a huge income. Of course, it requires some efforts and strategies along with investments like skills, smart-hard works and learning attitude. But apart from these you also need to invest some money in buying stuffs like a good domain name and web hosting. But selecting an ideal web host among various most trusted and best web hosting services available, is a tough task for beginners.
I have already discussed some great tips for selection of a perfect domain name for profitable online business from some of the best domain registrars to buy cheap domains. But when it comes to web hosting, you need to look for the best web hosting service provider which you can trust on. Overall, its not only about your hard earned money but also about making your website rock.
So in this post, I'm sharing a list of most trusted and best web hosting services which are worth your money.
Why Do You Need Web Hosting Service ?
When you create web pages on your website or blog, those files need to be stored safely so that on users demand they may be connected to web servers to make those web pages available. Though you yourself can host your files in the same way as your computer's or laptop's hard drive host many files.
But to do this practically you really need a very powerful internet connection which may connect those files to the web servers instantly on users request to show them.
Since doing this practically from your home server is impossible. So you need a web host company who can manage all these stuffs with unlimited bandwidth and space. And you can hang out with friends during weekends.
Therefore, you need best web hosting service provider that manages all your files and look after every folder of your blog or website. Buying a web hosting is sometimes considered as buying space because practically you are buying space to host your files.
Which Are Most Trusted and Best Web Hosting Services ?
Though there are many companies available in the market who provide best web hosting services at a very cheap price. Even some of them offer free web-hosting. But I recommend to go for a good quality, trusted and best web hosting service provider. Because as your website grows, your web hosting service provider plays a crucial role in up-time and better management of your websites.
Therefore, I have selected some very trusted and best web hosting service providers to make it easy for you to choose the best one out of them. Best because of course you want to be the best and trusted because your files are important for you. So if you are going to allow someone to manage those files, they must be trusted and reliable enough.
1. BlueHost
BlueHost is undoubtedly one of the best web hosting service provider which is powering over 2 million websites worldwide. It offers various hosting packages for you. The hosting packages includes shared hosting, WordPress managed hosting, VPS hosting and hosting with dedicated servers. But if you are going to start a new blog, the shared hosting is best for you.
Though the various available video tutorials and guides make it really easy to resolve your any problem. Yet adding bread on the butter, BlueHost has an excellent 24×7 customer support service to help you technically. So you don't have to really worry if ever you struck and need technical help.
If you want to run your blog on WordPress, BlueHost is best hosting service provider for you. In fact they offer 30 days money back guarantee also. So try it now and if you didn't like their services just cancel and get your money back with their refund policy.

2. HostGator
HostGator is another best web hosting service provider which you can trust on. It was my first choice until my traffic increased and I started facing problems with their shared hosting. Though now my first choice is Bluehost but I still recommend for HostGator as they offer very quality hosting services at cheap prices.
Also, there has been a huge increase in the popularity of Hostgator in last few years. And probably one common reason for that is their many promotional discounts and coupons available.
They offer many services like shared web hosting, reseller hosting, VPS hosting, dedicated servers hosting, applications hosting, and windows hosting. If you wish to run your blog, shared hosting is perfect for you.
They have a very powerful 24/7/365 customer support toll-free service or live chat support which are really helpful in technical stuffs.
Though HostGator offers 45 days money back guarantee. But I bet you would never like to get refund because their top quality best web hosting services and that is why they are one of the best hosting service provider which are very trust worthy also.

3. DreamHost
DreamHost is one of those the best web hosting service provider which is known for its quality service over last 17+ years. DreamHost has been winner of PC Magazine's Business Choice Award for best web hosting service.
DreamHost offers various types of hosting services like WordPress hosting, shared hosting, VPS and dedicated servers hosting etc. They also offer a free domain name with web hosting services. If you are looking to run a blog, their shared hosting is perfect solution for you.
The 24/7 in-house support via email, live chat and Twitter is really awesome (though I have not tried to contact ever yet I have learnt from other users in forums discussions). Though price is comparatively higher but 100 % up-time feature ensures this is worth your money. And if not-satisfied , you can get your money back as DreamHost offer 97-day money back guarantee.
[Checkout Plans and Pricing]
4. WP Engine
WP Engine is yet another popular name in the list of trust worthy best web hosting service providers. Some of the top businesses are running on WP Engine hosting. WP Engine provides premiere managed WordPress services with fastest and most reliable secure hosting.
Though I never recommend this hosting service for small bloggers or websites. One simple reason is that price is quite higher as compared to many other hosting services. And more importantly, you don't really need managed WordPress hosting in your initial days. But if you have a well established site with high traffic, more data and enough budget, you must consider to go for managed WordPress hosting from WP Engine. WP Engine hosting service has got positive words of a large number satisfied customers worldwide.
One advantage of choosing WP Engine is that you have freedom to choose your desired plan based on amount of visitors your site is getting. Customer support service is great and they also offer risk free 60 days money back guarantee.
5. iPage
iPage is one of those best web hosting service provider about which I came to know few months back. iPage is a very popular hosting service provider in USA and it is serving around 1,000,000 customers. iPage has a good reputation in providing best web hosting services like essential hosting, WordPress hosting, dedicated hosting and VPS hosting.
If you are looking to run a blog, I would recommend to go for essential hosting of iPage. Sometimes the exceptionally cheap price threatens me of its quality of service. But I contacted some of users who are running their site on iPage hosting, and was surprised that they recommended me for iPage. With 99.85% up-time with cheap price tag, iPage hosting is really awesome.
Though there were some issues with iPage web hosting but that was only three times in last few years. So that is affordable, considering they also provide many other extra coupons and services included in the same price. However, any-time money back guarantee is unbelievable.

The Pro Review from TechReviewPro
Though there are some other web hosting services like GoDaddy and BigRock are getting popular these days. But I recommend above 5 as most trusted and best web hosting service providers. However, while choosing a trusted and best web hosting service, try to prefer quality over cheap prices. Because sometimes, costlier stuffs are more than worth your money.
Was this list of "trusted and best web hosting service providers" helpful ? Share with your friends they too might find it helpful.
Hope you enjoyed this post. However, do let me know which of these you think as best hosting service provider ? Also your any experience or query about above hosting services is highly appreciated in the comment box below.

Okay, so maybe Google isn't out for world domination, but the with Project FI tech giant has recently made some major advances into the Telco space that I have anticipated for some time now. Several trade articles this week revealed that Google is in discussions with Hutchison Whampoa, the owner of the mobile operator Three, to form a wholesale access agreement that would not only become a critical part of Google's plans to disrupt the U.S. mobile market with its own virtual network (MVNO), but would also allow Americans to use their mobile devices abroad at no extra cost.
Google is creating a global service that will cost the same to use for calls, texts and data, no matter where the user is located. Through this type of network, roaming costs would essentially be eliminated. And while roaming costs are not a huge revenue generator for operators on the consumer space (consumers often opt not to use mobile networks when travelling abroad), operators gain a large portion of their revenues from enterprises with employees who must who must use their mobile devices internationally for business. Google's new offering has the potential of eliminating this revenue stream for operators.
In the U.S. alone, there are over 76 million Android devices currently being used. With a new Google service allowing for flat rates no matter where one is located, I expect a huge exodus from those currently subscribed under Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, and other carriers to Google's new service. Consumers who pay their own mobile phone bills would move just for the fringe benefit of not having to pay extra (or not use their mobile phone) when they travel. Enterprises would move for the huge savings in roaming charges.
A new "flat fee" network from Google would have a major impact on both traditional operators and over-the-top (OTT) providers since users won't be limited to either paying high roaming charges or leveraging services such as Skype to make inexpensive or free overseas calls. In my opinion, what would be an absolute killer move for Google is if they decide to offer video-over-LTE (ViLTE) at the same rate for both domestic and international, as this would make using the Google service BETTER than using OTT when traveling abroad due to the quality of the connection.
While I commend Google for continuing to expand into new areas, I am torn about how this new network will ultimately impact the market. The new service will clearly trample all over the MVNOs that my company, Movius, supports with its myIdentities solution – which includes split-billing capabilities and can be used by employees traveling abroad. On the other hand, time-division multiplexing (TDM), the foundation of Google's planned network is a strong point of Movius' solutions. As a result, our offerings will continue to work seamlessly with Google's new network and therefor create new opportunities for us.
What is your opinion on Google's expected moves into the mobile network space? Please share your thoughts.

Hi Sammo,
Whenever possible please try to provide at least a description, if not a photo, of the underside of fungi as this can be vital for identification. This might well be Trametes but if so, it should have small pores underneath each bracket.
I'm certainly not an expert but if there are no pores then it I believe it might be a Stereum or possibly Hymenochaete.

A little girl and her doll
She gripped the rag doll in her fingers tightly. The room was so clean and white around her you could clearly see that she was uncomfortable. Her head hung down with shame so that her deep brown hair curled gently around her face.
She stared at her fingernails and the doll she loved so dearly. The doll she had tucked into bed every night for three years. Her fingernails were long and grubby. Something her mother would not approve of at all.
"Wash your hands Ayissa. Quickly now, don't make me help you."
Her mother was long gone, in fact she hadn't seen a friendly face in so long now, she must have forgotten that kindness does exist in some.
How did she get so dirty? She appeared so innocent but dried blood had become crusted on her top lip. Her little blue dress was torn and splattered with a deep red. The little girl and her doll just sat there and waited never looking up or moving only for a shudder of tears that escaped Ayissa's cracked and broken lips. The men that found her were only a few steps away, their muttering traveled down the corridor with vengence.

The only positive to take out of this game is Jimmy Howard. He's been our MVP all year long and is still playing great.
It's 100 times better to have a goalie playing great with a mediocre team infront of him then an amazing team with bad goaltending. Look at the Flyers or Penguins last year. Hey, even the Blackhawks last year when Crawford was terrible.
This 2 day break between games is huge for Detroit. Gives us time to rest from a 7 game series with lots of travel and makes Chicago lose some of the momentum gained in game 1 with a long break.
Jimmy Howard kept us in a position to win that game. Left out to dry on all 3 goals he gave up. As long as Howard keeps playing like this, all we need is to find a rythym and we have a chance

CANADA STOCKS-TSX heads higher on golds in 'super light' trade
* TSX rises 0.26 percent to 13,418.42
* Gold, base metals main impetus for rally
* Baffinland rises as Nunavut Iron raises bid (Adds details)
TORONTO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index rose on Wednesday, as mining issues rallied on buoyant gold and copper prices.
The materials group was the leading sector, rising 1.7 percent, as copper climbed to near record highs in Europe, and zinc, lead, and aluminum were also on the rise. Gold extended this week's gains to its highest level since Dec. 7.
Barrick Gold (ABX.TO: Quote) rose 1.8 percent to C$53.03, while Goldcorp (G.TO: Quote) added 1.22 percent to C$45.69. Teck Resources TCKb.TO rose 1.15 percent to C$59.07, while Potash Corp (POT.TO: Quote) gained 2.1 percent to C$149.05.
"Gold is giving a good bid to the materials sector," said Francis Campeau, broker at MF Global Canada in Montreal, noting that overall volumes were "super light".
Canadian markets were closed Monday and Tuesday for the Christmas holidays, and Campeau said some of the gains were playing catch-up to rallying U.S. markets earlier in the week.
At 10:25 a.m. (1525 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 35.26 points, or 0.26 percent, at 13,418.42. Four of the index's 10 main groups were higher, with gains from utilities, industrials, and consumer staples, as well as materials. Continued...

The Western Michigan Broncos are on the road to take on the Kent State Golden Flashes tonight in college football action. The game is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on ESPN2. The college football odds for the game have the Broncos favored to pick up the victory on the road.
College Football OddsWestern Michigan -21.5Total: 55 points
Western is looking to continue to run the table in the MAC. If they do, the Broncos will be able to end the season as the probable top-ranked non-Power 5 conference leader and that would ensure them a spot in a New Year's Six bowl. That would give the Broncos a shot at one of the big boys in college football, and who knows how that would end. But one thing is for sure: the Broncos would obviously bring forth a solid effort and more than likely play well on the big stage.
There's little doubt they run over Kent State here. Western has future NFL players on its roster and they don't turn it over, which can make for a strong showing in road contests.
QB Zach Terrell has 23 touchdown tosses this season, 14 of which have gone to Corey Davis, who already has better than 1,000 yards receiving this season. Jarvion Franklin has 1,000 yards rushing as well with nine touchdowns as the Broncos can throw it, line up and run it and crush their opponents.

From Thursday through Saturday, Shiloah Te'o showed camp performers and Division I coaches from various colleges why the Cougars of BYU value him not only as a football player, but also as a young LDS athlete. He was named an All-Poly Camp performer.
"Today I played free safety and strong safety," Te'o said with a smile. "I lost 10 pounds so I could stay in the defensive backfield. I was at 205 but now I'm at 195. I mostly played in the backfield during full and "thud" scrimmages, where players could hit one another but not take each other down to the ground.
"During the camp, we basically went over basic fundamentals. Many of the techniques that I've learned [were] from my coach back home. [Coach Santiago] is a great coach and I've received a lot of compliments from the coaches out here, who've said that I was taught well. We did some hitting, but it was "thud" up because they didn't want us to get hurt before the season.
"I learned a couple of new things from the coaches. More specifically, I learned some things at the strong safety position from the Boise State coach, Coach Vili [Tuivai]. He helped in learning how to cover the flats a little bit quicker and easier. I was just back peddling, but he wanted me to get out into the flats a bit faster, like what would happen at the D-I level.
"I also learned a lot from Colorado coach Donnell Leomiti too. He also showed me a lot and is an up-tempo coach. I really like him. He taught me at the free safety position and was my coach last year [at the All-Poly Camp]."
Coach Leomiti has informed Te'o that Colorado is more than likely going to start recruiting him, thus joining teams such as BYU, Utah, Hawaii, UNLV, USC, Boise State, Oregon State, Washington, Tennessee, Idaho State and Notre Dame.
Despite starting out the camp a bit slow, Te'o said the camp experience was well worth it.
"It was a great experience for me," Te'o said. "I started off a bit slow because I got off the flight from Hawaii at 10:00 in the morning. We didn't really sleep on the flight over and then just came right over here. This air was killing me too!"
"I leave Utah on Wednesday to go to L.A. On Monday I'm going down to BYU's camp. Me and Paipai Falemalu might participate in one day of BYU's summer camp, most likely on Monday. Marky Atuaia is going to take us up there.
"When I go down to BYU I hope to find that they're an up-tempo team. I hope their camp is an up-tempo style because that's what I like. I like all the yelling a lot, but I know it's a religious school, so I don't know how much yelling there will be. I'm really not expecting there to be much swearing because it's a Mormon school, but I really do like the up-tempo style.
"That's just the type of player that I've always been. Whenever I'm having a good game, our team is clicking. Whenever I'm having a bad game and I'm not talking, then our team gets down. Once I snap out of it, then I feel our team snaps out of it also."
Te'o heard that one-time Kahuku High School teammate Michael Alisa was enjoying some success playing at Timpview High School in Provo, Utah.
"Michael Alisa is a great kid on the field and he's a great kid off the field too," Te'o said. "He transferred out here to Timpview and never did play varsity football with us. He's a great football player but never played varsity football back in Hawaii.
"I heard he came out here and tore it up. He's a tall kid and is really athletic. He used to play running back and safety when he first started playing football with us, but never started. Michael Alisa is a great kid and always worked hard, and if he had stayed back home and played at Kahuku he probably would have started and been a great asset to our team. Now he's here at Timpview and I wish him the best of luck. I heard that he had committed to BYU."
Along with Shiloah, his sophomore first-cousin Manti Te'o was also a top All-Poly Camp performer, but at the linebacker position. Since Manti transferred from Kahuku High School, Shiloah hopes that one day he can again play along side his close cousin.
"The last time I played in a game with Manti was when we played during Pop Warner. His freshman year he moved up to varsity, when I was a sophomore, for our state championship game, so I played with him then, even though he didn't play in the game.
"Manti is great and has always supported me in everything that I do. Sometimes I fee like he's my number one fan. He's one of the greatest linebackers in Hawaii and is the best right now. I would love to play college football with Manti or any member of my family, but I would also love to play against him too. It's always a competition between Manti and me. He always wants to beat me out and when he does, then I want to work harder to come back and beat him out.
"He has an offer from USC, and Pete Carroll called him and told him that they would let him go on his mission. I don't know what Pete Carroll is doing, but so far they're letting him go on his mission. You know, I wish him the best of luck if he decided to go there, but I would love for him to play college football with me at the next level. To play with Manti would be good for us, and especially our family."
Following Saturday's final day of the All-Poly Camp, Shiloah, along with his mother, father, cousin Manti and Kahuku outside linebacker Paipai Falemalu, will take an unofficial visit to BYU to tour the campus, meet the coaches and see the facilities.
"We're going to head down to BYU on an unofficial trip," Shiloah Te'o said. "We're going to go down there and check everything out. I've never been on BYU's campus before. I'm not sure what to expect, but that's the school of my religion. It should be very interesting for me. I really want to check out the campus a lot."
Along with God-given talents, Shiloah was also blessed with a lot of heart. To him, football is about playing for something that has both meaning and depth, rather than simply something of surface value.
"Having tradition is key for me," said Te'o. "If you have tradition, then you have something to play for. If you can be a part of a team that has tradition, then you'll play all-out for that team. That's one thing I really look for. I know BYU has great tradition, and hopefully I can see and be a part of it.
"At BYU, that's my religion right there, and I'll play all out for my religion. I'll do anything for my religion, whatever my religion wants. I'll always protect my religion and will never let anyone bring my religion down. I play for something bigger than me. If I'm doing well, then I feel good. I know that I can bring up the team and their motivation to win, even if we are down."
Te'o's newfound perspective and motivation for playing football is something that he gained one night after listening to one man speak at the pulpit. The words that were spoken that night by BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall would greatly impact Te'o, and might even change his life forever.
"I met Coach Mendenhall once when he offered me a scholarship, and he just talked to me for one minute," said Te'o. "Then last Sunday I went to a fireside and that was the best fireside I've ever been to. Coach Mendenhall seems like a great guy and a great coach. When I felt the Spirit while he gave his talk, [I] have to respect it. You have to respect who he is and what he said once you feel the Spirit.
"You have to respect what he's done. No other coach has ever done what he did by taking up The Book of Mormon to the podium [during a press conference] to read from the scriptures. I always respect a person like that for standing up for who he is and [who] never backs down to nobody, especially for his religion.
"It brought a tear to my dad's eye when he heard that story. When we heard that story it was just a great feeling. Coach Mendenhall is a great man and is trying to do the right thing for us young LDS kids, and he isn't going to back down from nobody and is going to put our religion into this sport of football and everything else he does. That's a great thing to me and he's a great man and I respect him for that.
"I would love to play for Coach Bronco Mendenhall. The feeling that he gave me [made me feel like] I didn't want to play for no other. He helped me to understand that I don't just play for myself, but that I represent my family all the LDS people.
"That fireside meeting changed my whole mindset. I was thinking that football was first over everything. I would work out every day because it was all about playing football, [and planned to] skip my mission because it would mean not playing football. That day changed my whole perspective and now I'm taking things more than ever into consideration. That day changed everything for me.
"Now I understand more about our religion and I'm proud of our religion. Bronco really instilled that within my mind when he spoke that night. Now I play football with a greater purpose in mind, and now I am for sure going to serve my mission. You can make that public: I'm going to serve my mission.
"It would be a dream come true to play for Coach Mendenhall. I just fell in love with Bronco. You never know what is going to happen, but I would love to play for him right now. Right now BYU is on my mind and I would love to play there, especially to represent my religion and my family."
Te'o feels that Coach Mendenhall has a goal to help young LDS athletes understand that there is more meaning and purpose behind why they sweat, sacrifice, make tackles and score touchdowns on the football field.
"What I think he's trying to do is mainly find great LDS young men that will help out his program on the field, and be an example religiously off the field for the LDS community. He wants young men that will follow the BYU rules and live the values that are taught by the church there."

wikiHow to Make a 2x2 Piston Door in Minecraft
Do you have loads of excess redstone? Then here's a tutorial on making a 2x2 piston door.
1Place 2 normal pistons facing each other 4 blocks away from each other.
2Place the blocks on the 4 pistons.
32 blocks away from the piston, place a block. Put a lever or pressure plate on the opening and inside.
4Place blocks on the backs of the 2 bottom pistons on each side.
5Connect redstone wire from the block the pressure plate is on. is on to the top piston of the 2 pistons closest to the pressure plate.
6Dig a 2 block deep trench from one piston to the other one.
7Have a bridge at the end going to the block before the block on the bottom piston.
8Run redstone through the trench to the other top piston.
9Place repeaters where necessary.
10On the other side of the door put another pressure plate 2 blocks away.
11Run redstone to the bottom piston back block.
12Cover the wiring after testing.
Community Q&A
That trench thing is confusing me, can you explain better?Anticreeperzone Anti. CIt means on the back of the pistons, dig a trench under the wall behind the piston, then put two redstone repeaters in the trench and put two blocks as a bridge in front of the repeaters, then put redstone on top of the bridge, then lead the redstone on the bridge to the top of the contraption.

5 miles later the centaur comes to a stop at a wooden gate. After looking over both shoulders she raps on the gate three times quietly. Seconds later, the gate opens and she quickly slips through. Past the gate, hundreds of centaurs of different shapes and sizes all come to a stop and turn to see the angel. One centaur, clearly the alpha male, with dark long hair, sharp blue eyes, an attractive face steps forward.
"Kyra.. what is the meaning of this? You know the rule of bringing humans into the village" he snaps.
"This is no ordinary angel Badak, this is Nunti" Kyra snaps back. Gasps echo around the village. Badak looks down at Nunti with a look of awe. "And she needs help" Kyra trots off to a wooden cabin on her left with Badak following her closely.
In the cabin, there are two old women, twins, in a kitchen area; they are both small with dark grey hair, hazel eyes, hardly any wrinkles, smooth skinned and beautiful.
"Ida, Ada, she needs help" Kyra says. The women brush aside things off a nearby table, and Kyra places the angel carefully aside. They pull out bandages and several different bottles with various signs on them. "Will she be okay?"
"Girl will be fine" Ida says.
"Girl needs time" Ada says.
"Time is medicine"
"Patience is a virtue Badak, you should know that by now" Badak stands close, and puts a hand on Ada's shoulder.
"Thank you... Ada" Badak says and nods at Ada. "Ida"
"No, no. I am Ida"
"And I Ada, can't you tell the difference by now Badak?" Ida says. Badak glances at the pair, at Nunti and leaves the cabin. The two snigger, Kyra smiles and then leaves.

Art exhibitions, music festivals and ballet performances: generally the typical high-culture events that one expects law firms to fall over themselves to sponsor.
But take a trip to Bethnal Green (yes, east of Spitalfields. Tulkinghorn is informed that no inoculations or currency exchanges are necessary) and you will see the proud banner of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
Former corporate associate and professional boxer Laura Saperstein may have left the magic circle firm for life in the ring, but there seems to be no hard feelings and Freshfields is sponsoring her in her second pro fight (for promoter Frank Maloney, no less) at York Hall on 1 February.
Well, Tulkinghorn wouldn't want to say "no" to Laura either.

C. Giroux: 8-year contract extension (ESPN: $66.2m, $8.275m AAV, NMC) upds in post #1

I see both sides of this debate.
On one hand, it's damn near impossible to try and nickel and dime your best/franchise player and captain after you just went out and overspent massively on Streit. If I were Giroux and Homer came to me asking for a discount because he needs to sign Schenn and Couturier too, I'd point at his luxury signings of Streit and Lecavalier and laugh. Asking G to take $$ out of his own pocket to help the team's cap situation when you had plenty of caproom both now and going forward just a week or so ago isn't fair at all. Ultimately, if there are some cap casualties, it will be Homer's fault, not Giroux's.
On the other hand... I think 8.3 is entirely too much for Giroux given the way he played last year and the fact that he's only really had one excellent year. He's a great player, but at this point we have no idea where Giroux is going to settle in points-wise per season. Is he going to be a 75-80 point guy, or a 90+ point guy? That makes a difference. Is he ever going to score 30 goals? That also makes a difference, since goals are more valuable than assists. When Malkin and Crosby got paid, they had several years to look at to justify their salaries. Ditto Getz and Perry. Even young Steven Stamkos had several years to look at to justify his contract. Claude Giroux has ONE, and it's a career year where he still didn't eclipse 30 goals. That's scary to me. We're essentially paying for potential, but there's no upside for us. If Giroux scores 90-95 pts per year, we get our money's worth, but get no excess value. If he scores anything less, we're getting less than what we paid for. That's a whole lot of downside risk for such a meager upside.

Elizabeth Ryman and Richard
T. Richards, residents of Fellowship Village, have been acknowledged by the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA) as honored senior artists.
The contest called for original works of art in a variety of mediums and was intended to commemorate the creativity of older people.
From the 700 works of art submitted from seniors nationwide, only 200 were chosen for permanent exhibition in the association's new headquarters located in Washington, D.C.
"There are so many vibrant seniors who continue to do what they want to do. You can age gracefully, with dignity, and still continue to share your gifts with other people," said Patricia Giammarinaro, director of public relations for fellowship Village.
Ryman submitted a watercolor entitled "Statue of George Washington at the Ford Mansion, Morristown, N.J." She and her daughter attended the Sunday, March 11 opening ceremonies along with Giammarinaro.
"It was a lovely building," Ryman said. "I was very pleased with how they displayed all the artwork throughout the three floors. They coordinated the frames of all 200 winners - very tasteful." Ryman received an award certificate, button, and an honored senior artist corsage.
The reception included a vast assortment of hors d'oeuvres and wine with a keyboard musician serenading the guests. "It was a very moving experience to see the exceptional caliber of artwork on display; especially in such an impressive setting as is AAHSA's new headquarters," added Giammarinaro.
Richards was in Florida at the time of the ceremony, but his watercolor painting entitled "Courtyard of Chinon Castle, Switzerland" is permanently displayed.
Ryman has lived in New Jersey most of her life and has always had an interest in art. She works in oil, watercolor and pen and ink. Her style is realistic and her subject matter is varied.
She has presented her work in many shows and has won various awards. Her art is represented in both private and corporate collections throughout the country. Ryman is a charter member of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C. and is an active member of the Somerset Art Association in Bedminster Township and the Raritan Valley Arts Association. She has also presented her work at the Carving and Wildlife Art Show presented on May 19 and 20 by the Somerset County Park Commission Environmental Education Center in the Basking Ridge section of Bernards Township.
Fellow Artist
Richards, who has taken some adult education art classes, has always had a talent for art and began painting once again after his retirement in 1987. He creates very detailed watercolor paintings, working primarily from photographs and sketches of various places to which he has traveled.
He has presented his work at various shows and won many awards from the County Division of Aging and the Women's Club of Chatham. His 'one man shows' were displayed at Chatham Public Library, Chatham Borough Town Hall, and Madison Public Library. He is an active member of the Somerset Art Association and the Art Crafters of Naples, Florida.
Fellowship Village encourages residents to pursue and share their talents with others. Ryman teaches other seniors traditional rug hooking, as well as helping others with their paintings.
"Each month we change the pictures, displaying one month the photography club, the next fine art," said Ryman "It keeps the people active."
Richards will share his knowledge of first aid by teaching employees of Fellowship Village CPR and the use of a defibrillator. He has worked with the emergency squad for more than 40 years and was also a first aid instructor with the Red Cross and American Heart Association.
"Working with the emergency squad, I met a lot of people who were living by themselves, barely able to take care of themselves. What I like best about Fellowship Village is not being a burden on the kids. You always have company; never isolated," said Richards, who resided in Chatham before moving to Fellowship Village two years ago.
The American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging is dedicated to providing high quality healthcare, housing and home and community based services to more than one million seniors. It is a national association of more than 5,600 not-for-profit providers of aging services, providing a voice in Washington, expressing the concerns of seniors nationwide.
"Forward thinking seniors make the choice to come here on their own free will. Residents have great attitudes, they're interesting people who have traveled and are interested in life," said Giammarinaro. "They truly are the greatest generation."

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 61 reviews
Fantastic! Great staff, great area, great room! Would definitely stay there again.
The location is excellent but the hotel is two fights up a non descriptor building. There is a lift. I would recommend it for the location but the room was small, yet clean.
We chose this hotel to be close to friends at the Marriott. It was a great location for us; we enjoyed being close to the park so we could run in the mornings and there are plenty of little cafes nearby for coffee. Breakfast was minimal, but delivered on time and quality was good. The bed was so-so and minimalist, but the room/bathroom were very clean and modern. There was quite a bit of street noise and a bright florescent light outside our window (the light was very bright even with the blackout curtains drawn) that we figured out how to turn off, but I'm surprised that they would have something so stupid there in the first place. The staff was a bit gruff, but all in all it was a decent place to sleep at night, which was all we needed.
Residenza A is a great boutique hotel right at the top of the Via Veneto and down the block from the Hotel Excelsior. Great spot if you fancy a walk in the park surrounding the Villa Borghese and a visit to the villa itself, which has a wonderful art collection. There is a gym/health club right at the entrance to the park, which was closed for renovations, but when open people staying at the hotel can get in for a reduced rate. While it is easy to get to the Spanish steps, and the walk along the Via Veneto is fascinating for its fancy hotels, embassies and "La Dolce Vita" ambiance, getting to some of the more historical sites requires a little more effort. Rooms are listed by size. We stayed in M for medium with a window on the Via Veneto, just fine for us. The design is sleek and the staff very helpful with directions and reservations. Fabrizio, the evening concierge, was helpful suggesting visits to less touristy sites and restaurants with authentic Roman flavor, including Fellini's old stomping grounds. Breakfast is served in your room at a time you need to request the night before. No desk staff after 10pm but this was not a problem as we had keys to the front door. If you are interested in art collecting all of the artwork in the rooms is original and for sale. We had a great time here for our last three days in Italia. If you have visited Rome before and want a place that is just a little bit out of the way yet still has that Roman flavor this may be the place for you.
We really liked this funky hotel with a cool vibe. The art was very cool and the staff was terrific, even though we showed up with an extra visitor! Showers were large and much appreciated, especially compared to the postage sized ones in other hotels in which we stayed.

What Does Main Street Look Like?
What does Main Street America look like today? A journalist, a public radio producer, and two Harvard PhD students set out to visit actual Main Streets across the country to find out.
"In practical terms, [journalist Kara Oehler] tells us, this has meant that the researchers piled into a 1996 Subaru and started visiting Main Streets. The first trip took them from Boston to Chicago. Kara notes that street interviews – vox pops – usually yield one response out of three. 'But everyone talks to you on Main Street.' From May to August, the team travelled 12,000 miles, stopping at hundreds of Main Streets."

That victory allowed Indurain to join a special club comprising other legends of cycling, the winners of four consecutive Tours de France: Jacques Anquetil (1961-64) and Eddy Merckx (1969-72). Next Saturday the 30-year- old bull of a man from near Pamplona sets out from Saint Brieuc in another attempt to prove to the begrudging French that he could become the undisputed all-time king of the road. Then the rest of the world may even recognise him as being among the best athletes in any sporting arena. Cyclists suffer more than most in their efforts to achieve that recognition.
Competing in the Tour for the 11th time means he has to forget what he said last year: "Never again. What do they expect of me?" If he wins, the pressure will only increase. To be acclaimed as the all-time great, Indurain has to win six times, which the great Merckx once predicted the Spaniard would do. But time is catching up with him. "I don't believe I can improve any more," said Indurain. "After five years at the top, you begin to feel the kilometres and the challenge from younger riders". Despite what he says, there is precious little sign of a successor, merely a few pretenders, and in this year's Tour he is the only man who has previously won the race.
The record number of Tour victories (five) is held by Anquetil, Merckx and Bernard Hinault, who was the last French winner back in 1985. This time the questions being asked of Indurain are whether indeed some weaknesses were spotted last summer and if the French organisers have finally put so many uphill, down dale and beat-the-clock problems in his way that the outstanding favourite is beaten less by his opponents than the demands of the course.
The French do not see Indurain as a gift to the sport, claiming he lacks adventure - he won only one Tour stage last year. Most cycle- racing followers like their heroes to have a touch of derring-do, skidding down mountain roads, riding off alone into the sunset and visibly suffering. Indurain is not like that; not like the old French heroes, nor the Belgian Merckx. But there is a big difference between putting more mountains and longer time-trials in his path and stopping him relentlessly grinding down the opposition. What makes the man unoriginally called "the metronome" tick?
There were moments in last year's race, which in its early stages memorably but controversially left France to snake through southern England, when even this astonishingly powerful man wondered whether one more Tour would be worth the long-term health problems that so many of the sport's champions have suffered after taking on a few races too many. But one of the reasons why the French particularly find him only marginally less boring than the English rugby side is that he has always been scrupulously economic with his energy output. He may have said after winning last year that he was not Superman, but he surely comes a close second.
He has a metabolism that is probably superior to any other athlete in top-class sport. His at-rest pulse rate of 28 suggests that he virtually goes into a state of hibernation. After sprinting to the line, the rate ascends to what most of us would expect when catching a call before the answerphone goes on. On the steepest of climbs, other riders notice with disbelief that he rarely appears to sweat or struggle for breath. If there is ever fear in his eyes, he hides it behind large, dark glasses.
Last year he occasionally seemed to suffer, but even in 1985 when he rode the Tour for the first time and abandoned after only four stages, other riders noticed that he was adept at disguising a grimace with a smile. It was something he practised even in his early racing days as a teenage Spanish amateur champion.
His lung capacity is a third above average and his height (6ft 2in) and weight (12st 7lb) are unusual in cycle racing. The French complain that they can admire his impressive physical presence but not his laid-back, seemingly selfish attitude to racing. He likes to sit in the main group of riders, watch every move and do only what's necessary, which also seems to be his philosophy on life generally.
In cycling, champions who are reluctant to take their share at the front are unpopular, the more so if they go for overall victory in the time- trial stages. But they are often rich. Last year, Indurain earned pounds 250,000 for winning the Tour and was estimated to have an annual income of more than pounds 2m. And that was in spite of finishing only third in the Tour of Italy, a result that persuaded him not to ride this year's Giro. However, he will probably respond to criticism in his home country and race in the Tour of Spain in September.
Even if his 1994 victory was not without one or two moments of fallibility, this time he again starts as favourite, and he could do what has never been achieved in post-war Tours and wear the leader's yellow jersey throughout, commencing with his speciality, the first day's time-trial. Last year he confided to a team-mate that he intended leading all the way, but, surprisingly, he lost the prologue time-trial to the British rider Chris Boardman, only to remind the field of his real time-trial ability by easily winning between Perigueux and Bergerac in spite of high temperatures and humidity. Later he mercilessly overtook all the other race favourites on the seven-mile Pyrenean climb of Hautacam, near Lourdes. At the end of the day, even Tony Rominger, the Swiss rider reckoned to have a chance of challenging Indurain overall, had to admit:"It's all over for me. Indurain is unbeatable".
Rominger and Indurain could not be more dissimilar. At the end of the summer, Indurain always returns to his home village and quietly resumes local life with his wife, Marisa. He still trains on the roads he knew as a child. The story goes that gypsies stole his first bike but somehow he bought another and was stirred into thoughts of a professional career. In contrast, Rominger, a former book-keeper, lives in Monte Carlo, records his training by computer and spends at least five weeks before each season at altitude in Colorado. If no Frenchman can challenge Indurain, the French turn to Rominger because of his connections with Monaco.
Well supported by his Banesto team, Indurain's final overall margin of victory last year was his largest, 5min 39sec ahead of Piotr Ugrumov of Latvia, who was one of those who thought he had found a race-damaging weakness in the Spaniard when he snatched three minutes out of the leader's advantage on a mountain time-trial. Ugrumov, a close second to Indurain in the 1993 Tour of Italy, rides again this year and is still climbing impressively, but at 35 he may have gone beyond his peak. Meanwhile, Indurain has proved himself the outstanding all-rounder of the present generation by breaking the one-hour track record that had previously been held by the Scot, Graeme Obree, and Chris Boardman. Significantly, Indurain trained for less than a month and had little track experience. So when he said last week that hay fever and colds early in the summer set his training back, it was not enough to register serious doubt.
The strain of top-class road racing is unimaginable. Over the years dozens of riders have turned for help to drugs. Most of the top riders have at one time or another failed tests, and Indurain is no exception. Last September, the French Cycling Federation announced that he had been tested positive after a race the previous May but it was accepted by the Union Cycliste Internationale and the International Olympic Committee that the drug concerned, salbutamol, was contained in a nasal inhaler Indurain had used to improve his respiration. In Spain, the case was interpreted as another example of the French attempting to stop Indurain dominating the sport. They hardly needed worry.

Deviceimage: Linux-based Backup Tool
Deviceimage by Firma Waxar backs up hard disks and partitions on backup media or across a network. The software launches from a bootable Linux CD.
This gives users the ability to back up machines with a damage operating system on their boot disks. The Deviceimage CD is suitable for x86 computers and Apple computers with Intel CPUs.
The disk imaging software itself is a development by Waxar and was written in C++. It uses a spartan text mode interface which was created using the Newt toolkit.
The proprietary Deviceimage software creates packed images of files, partitions or complete hard disks and supports a large number of operating systems according to the vendor, such as Reiser-FS, NTFS, UFS, Ext2 and 3. The backup can be created on various media including ATA and SCSI hard disks, USB and Firewire storage devices and PC cards. The program can also transfer files to the network using FTP, NFS and CIFS (Windows shares).
Deviceimage costs around 40 euros including VAT as the Basic version which only supports backups on local devices. The Advanced and Professional versions with network support, backup automation and encryption are currently being reworked by the vendor, and will be released shortly. For more information visit the company's website or send an enquiry to the vendor.

The Seahawks can't beat good teams by simply handing off to Shaun Alexander and letting the offensive line take over. The passing game also must function effectively. The team needs more performances like the one quarterback Matt Hasselbeck provided Sunday against San Francisco. "This year, I've been the one who has been in the end zone a bunch of times," Alexander said, "and I thought it was great to see Matt sling the ball around and let everybody know that we can score a lot of points really quick.
"I was excited. This was one of the most fun games I have played in a long time."
Alexander topped 100 yards on the ground for the ninth time in 13 games, but the passing game did most of the damage. Hasselbeck completed 84 percent of his passes with four touchdowns for a 127.2 rating. Those kinds of numbers won't be the norm against good teams, of course, but Seattle should have more firepower through the air now that receiver Darrell Jackson is returning from knee surgery.
"Our balance in the pass/run this year on offense has been as good as I've ever had," coach Mike Holmgren said.
Hasselbeck did not play during the second half of a 42-0 victory at Philadelphia on Dec. 5. He sat out the fourth quarter of the 41-3 pounding against San Francisco on Sunday. The team hasn't needed Hasselbeck to come through with 300-yard games, as he did consistently when Seattle needed to win shootouts in late 2002.
"In the last two games, I have taken him out of the game," Holmgren said. "I don't care about 300-yard games; if I can do that every week, that's what I would like to do.
"He's having a great year, and the 300-yard passing thing, well, sometimes when you have those big passing-yard games, usually you're playing catch-up, and usually you lose. So, I will take it the way it's going right now."
--Seattle's defense has taken some lumps this season, but the unit has battled hard consistently, and the results are showing up on the stat sheet. The Seahawks rank 11th in total defense after setting a franchise record by holding the 49ers to 113 yards. The team ranked 26th in total defense two games ago. Seattle also ranks fourth in scoring defense after holding Philadelphia and San Francisco to a combined three points. "Our defense is playing real well right now," coach Mike Holmgren said. "Giving up three points in two weeks, that's pretty good."
--Running back Shaun Alexander has been putting up big numbers for years. The national media hasn't always paid close attention, but one would expect Seattle's division opponents to focus their energies on stopping the Seahawks' career rushing leader. With 108 yards Sunday, Alexander topped 100 yards for the ninth consecutive game against a division opponent. The feat breaks the NFL record he previously shared with Walter Payton (1976-77), Freeman McNeil (1984-85) and Marcus Allen (1985-86).
--QB Matt Hasselbeck avoided serious injury despite two scary moments against the 49ers. Officials flagged 49ers LB Derek Smith for the helmet-to-sternum shot he put on Hasselbeck early in the game. DE Travis Hall also twisted Hasselbeck's leg after the 49ers collected their lone sack of the game. "The guy at the bottom of the pile, I don't know if he knew or didn't know, but he's holding on for dear life to my foot, twisting my foot, and it was just a bad situation for my knee," Hasselbeck said. "Whether it was intentional or not, I don't know, but it was kind of a scary moment."
--RB Shaun Alexander's quest for 2,000 yards is taking a back seat to team goals. Fat leads have allowed Seattle rest Alexander for three full quarters over the past two games. Alexander has only 157 yards in those two games. He still leads the league in rushing with 1,496 yards, but the team is more concerned about keeping him healthy than running up big stats down the stretch.
--WR Joe Jurevicius has eight touchdown catches in 13 games with the Seahawks. He came close to a ninth TD reception Sunday but officials called offsetting penalties to wipe out the score. Jurevicius could return to the No. 3 receiver role as early as Sunday because Darrell Jackson is healthy again, and Jackson is expected to start opposite Bobby Engram.
--WR Darrell Jackson will dive back into a full practice schedule this week and play against the Titans on Sunday, coach Mike Holmgren said. Jackson has missed the past nine games with a knee injury. The team is 9-0 without him. Jackson's return will affect the rotation at receiver, meaning fewer snaps for others. The plan is for Jackson to return to the starting lineup but probably play limited snaps at first. WR Joe Jurevicius will return to his No. 3 role.
--MLB Lofa Tatupu has 94 tackles, 4.5 sacks and three interceptions through his first 13 games as a pro. The rookie has turned draft-day skeptics into believers by becoming a leader in the locker room and on the stat sheet. He is demanding attention as a Rookie of the Year candidate, particularly now that Seattle's defensive ranking has climbed from 26th to 11th over the past two games.
--CB Andre Dyson could return from his ankle injury in time for the divisional round of the playoffs if Seattle makes it that far, coach Mike Holmgren said Monday.
--CB Kelly Herndon could return from his sprained knee in time for the Green Bay game Jan. 1, coach Mike Holmgren said Monday.
--FS John Howell could return from his hamstring injury in time for the Indianapolis game Dec. 24, coach Mike Holmgren said Monday.
PASSING OFFENSE: A -- QB Matt Hasselbeck ran the offense to near-perfection and fully exploited the 49ers' weak secondary. Seattle often lured the 49ers' safeties into coverage mistakes that allowed one or more receivers to roam free on a given play. Hasselbeck made the right decisions in where to go with the ball. He set a season high with four touchdown passes. He set a career high by completing 84 percent of his passes (21 of 25), the second-highest one-game rate in team history.
RUSHING OFFENSE: B -- RB Shaun Alexander needed only three quarters to get his 108 yards on the ground. Seattle mostly relied on the passing game, but the ground game proved reliable when needed. That was evident on the Seahawks' second drive. Hasselbeck had absorbed a hard hit to the sternum and was having trouble breathing. Alexander carried for gains of 16 and 10 yards on the next two plays. FB Mack Strong followed with a 4-yard run. The running game bought time for Hasselbeck, who finished the drive with three consecutive complete passes, the last for a touchdown.
PASS DEFENSE: A -- Seattle padded its league-leading sack total with four against 49ers QB Alex Smith. The Seahawks held Smith to 9-of-22 passing and 77 gross yards. MLB Lofa Tatupu collected an interception for the second consecutive week. LCB Jordan Babineaux, who converted from safety after Seattle lost CBs Andre Dyson and Kelly Herndon, had no problems in coverage even though this was his first NFL start. The 49ers' longest completed pass to a receiver covered 14 yards.
RUSH DEFENSE: A -- Seattle didn't have DT Marcus Tubbs for its previous game against the 49ers. He made a big difference Sunday even though DT Rocky Bernard got the start ahead of him. Tubbs was disruptive much of the afternoon. His bulk inside pairs nicely with the speed Seattle has on the perimeter. Working against an injury-depleted offensive line, Seattle's front seven held the 49ers to 3.0 yards per carry with a long run of 11 yards.
SPECIAL TEAMS: B -- Penalties in the return game continue to be a problem. The Seahawks have suggested that officials are calling things more closely this season. The Seahawks were able to overcome two more return-game penalties against the weak 49ers, but similar errors could prove costly against a superior opponent. K Josh Brown made a pair of 52-yard attempts, offsetting a 50-yard miss that came up short in the cold, damp air of Qwest Field.
COACHING: A -- The Seahawks were on top of their game against the overmatched 49ers. This was another example of Seattle avoiding the kind of letdown performance that immature teams experience. Coach Mike Holmgren gets some of the credit. Holmgren also was aggressive offensively, a smart move against a team with so many problems. The blitz-heavy defensive plan produced the lowest output by a Seattle opponent -- 113 total yards -- in franchise history.
The Titans' offense has gone nine quarters without a touchdown, and though Tennessee beat Houston for the second time this season Sunday, it became the first team to fail to score seven points on offense against the woeful Texans. For the second week in a row, Drew Bennett and Ben Troupe dropped passes in the end zone that would have been touchdowns.
"We missed some opportunities out there, a couple dropped balls here and there for a touchdown," quarterback Steve McNair said. "I think we just have to overcome that. ... We preach all week that we have to make some big play somewhere."
The Texans defense, with little to be happy about all season, left Nashville feeling pretty good about itself.
"I think defensively we went out and did what we wanted to do," Texans defensive lineman Gary Walker said. "We shut them out for the game." The Titans are without two rookie receivers who had been making plays -- Brandon Jones is out for the season with a knee injury and Roydell Williams' season was finished by a wrist injury. Their top pass-catcher, tight end Erron Kinney, was out of the Houston game after minor knee surgery.
"There are a lot of different things, a lot of contributing factors," coach Jeff Fisher said. "Obviously, first off, it's not good. It's not a good thing. We're working hard. We've had opportunities. We just haven't gotten the ball in the end zone."
--Titans owner Bud Adams left the Coliseum before Sunday's game ended, and Adams said at the point he stopped watching, things "weren't looking good" for his team. But he told The (Nashville) Tennessean he was not unhappy with the coaching staff nor the front office and said he was optimistic with another high draft pick, his team will be able to start turning things around next season.
Adams agreed that a decision on the status of Steve McNair will be the first big domino of the offseason. The quarterback has a $50 million option bonus, which the Titans won't pay, in his current contract.
As to whether he wants McNair to continue to quarterback the team or thinks the franchise should start to think about a younger quarterback, Adams didn't have a lot to say.
"We're not going to make a decision with three games left," he said.
--The Titans went for it on fourth down three times against Houston and failed to convert any of them. Tyrone Calico let a pass fall out of his hands on fourth-and-5 from the Houston 34 in the first quarter. It was his second drop in two plays.
On fourth-and-3 from the Houston 27, Fisher passed up a 44-yard field goal attempt, and McNair threw a short pass behind Drew Bennett, who was well-covered by cornerback Chris McKenzie.
And on fourth-and-3 from the Houston 35 on the first possession of the second half, McNair threw incomplete to Bennett.
"Absolutely it's a challenge," McNair said of the fourth-down chances. "We messed up a couple opportunities, but I don't think (Fisher is) going to shy away from it."
Fisher has decided to go for it on fourth down 11 times in the past three games, with just three conversions.
--QB Steve McNair came out of the Houston game with a sore left shin and left ankle. Those injuries were left over from the team's Dec. 4 loss in Indianapolis. It won't be a surprise if McNair is not ready to resume practicing Wednesday when the Titans begin preparations for Seattle.
--RB Chris Brown is likely to carry the full load Sunday against Seattle as Travis Henry injured his right ankle against the Texas and is expected to miss a week.
--RB Travis Henry is likely to miss the game Sunday against the Seahawks because of a right ankle injury. Chris Brown would get a full workload in the event Henry can't play.
--TE Erron Kinney (knee) is likely to miss his second game in a row Sunday against Seattle as he recovers from minor knee surgery he needed after the Titans' Dec. 4 loss in Indianapolis.
--TE Ben Troupe didn't finish the Titans' win over Houston because of a concussion that resulted from a jarring hit by Robaire Smith. But coach Jeff Fisher said he didn't expect Troupe's injury to linger this week and keep him out of action.
PASSING OFFENSE: D-plus -- A 42-yard screen pass to RB Travis Henry was the highlight on an afternoon when QB Steve McNair was 18-for-30 for 208 yards with no touchdowns. The Titans dropped a bunch of balls and were punchless and unthreatening. Tyrone Calico dropped two balls, and Drew Bennett and Ben Troupe dropped TD passes for the second week in a row.
RUSHING OFFENSE: D-plus -- The Titans got the 30 carries they like, but they didn't do much with them. McNair had an 18-yard scramble on the drive that provided the winning points, but the running backs averaged 2.6 yards a carry.
PASS DEFENSE: B-plus -- Solid, with a tremendous early pass rush that set the tone. The Titans finished with six sacks. David Carr hit on 17 of 26 passes for 116 yards, with 50 coming on Houston's one good drive -- a 72-yard touchdown march just before halftime.
RUSH DEFENSE: D -- They allowed Domanick Davis 139 rushing yards and the Texans a 5.8-yards-per-carry average in a game in which they were determined to slow him.
SPECIAL TEAMS: B -- The Titans got their only TD of the game on a beautiful 52-yard punt return by Pacman Jones, and they got a game-winning field goal from Rob Bironas. But Bironas had a 46-yard miss, the Titans got burned on a fake field goal, and they allowed Jerome Mathis a 50-yard kickoff return at the end of a game, drawing a penalty that allowed Houston to attempt a field goal that would have forced overtime.
COACHING: B -- Jeff Fisher deserves credit for keeping his team's attention and not allowing it to lose interest. The defense played aggressively and bailed out an anemic offense.

Part One (Sorry for the lack of imagination)
An idea I had from coming home one time. I'm not sure where I'm going with this but oh well. =)
An old lady walked down a dark street. Her coat trailed along the floor like her scarf, that was half off her right side. Her trousers were loose and dragging along the floor as well. Behind her she pulled a large baggage trolley that squeaked every 3 steps. The houses had steps that lead from the front door down to the ground, at least 9, that were crumbling and in dire need of repair. She stopped and looked to a flat wall. "Hello Kitty." She said to the space. "I have something for you. I was shopping and brought it for you specially." As she rummaged through her trolley cans rattled and bottles clinked against each other. "Here it is." She pulled out a black box tied with yellow ribbon and held it out. "Oh of course." The box was placed neatly on the ground then the lady closed the bag lid. "See you later Kitty." As she walked off the wheels squeaked. When she passed one house the curtains flickered shut. The box raised a little before vanishing from sight. The old lady turned a corner and disappeared from sight.
