What if you went to a play and found out you were the star?
Heineken hosted a one-night-only production at New York City's McKittrick Hotel, where unsuspecting attendees were invited to a play, soon to find out that they weren't just watching, they were the stars.
Heineken captured every moment of the March 11 event as people ventured through a labyrinth of daring scenes that enabled them to show their talents to the world.
Heineken debuts the brand's latest "social experiment" to encourage consumers to "cross their borders" with its 3½-minute digital video, "The Guest of Honor."
Included at the end is a hyperlink to share it on Twitter with the hashtag #OpenYourWorld, the global ad theme the beer maker launched in 2011.
Wieden + Kennedy New York, Heineken's creative agency-of-record, created and produced "The Guest of Honor," including the theatrical production and video documenting the challenge.
It joins Departure Roulette and Carol Karaoke in Heineken's series of social experiments that challenge consumers in "would you or wouldn't you" moments.
The evening began with a questionable elevator ride to the party of a mysterious billionaire and his eccentric friends. Several of the attendees were challenged to take the stage, moving through a variety of scenes to entertain the billionaire's friends, from telling jokes to a feisty heckler in a comedy club, to giving a tattoo to an intimidating ink fan, to auditioning for and joining a Bollywood shoot.
Heineken believes that everyone has a legendary side waiting to surface, and "The Guest of Honor" gave real people the chance to showcase that side to the world, says Belen Pamukoff, brand director, Heineken.
"The Guest of Honor" was developed in the spirit of Heineken's latest global television ad campaign, "The Odyssey," which celebrates the premise that everyone is legendary at something.
"Heineken saw immersive theater as the perfect setting to get people outside their comfort zone by creating a production that would move them from being mere spectators to the star of the show," Pamukoff says in a release. "'The Guest of Honor' is our latest effort to reveal the legendary talents of Heineken drinkers."

My girlfriend is engaged to someone else to save her parents pride
I'm from a sikh family but I have quietly converted to Islam. My girlfriend is a muslim (memon), we met 4 years ago, we are madly in love. She never said much but naturally after studying religions, I started following Islam, but not everyone knows. I was an atheist before, I was not following any religion.
She spoke to her parents about me, and I met her parents, her mom told me everything is fine, but we would accept you only when your mother agrees to your conversion.
My father had just expired a few months back, im the only child, and my mother had only me. He died at 54 suffering from cancer, it was terrible. I explained to her mother, I said it will take time, but im sure she would agree, as it is a little difficult because i cant hurt her right away, because of my father, and she is very religious.
I asked them for time, time passed by, her mom asked me once or twice after that, i said i need little time, suddenly they engaged her to someone, but for me she broke her engagement, and her parents got mad at her, she stood by me, her parents were only worried about their reputation. After this i spoke to my mom as i felt that they are trying to take her away from me, my mom agreed, but now, they were against me, no matter what i did, because that guy with whom she broke the engagement, spread the news that she is seeing a kafir, not knowing that I follow islam.
Its just that i have not legally changed everything, her parents were worried that who will marry her now, whole of the memon community knows about this now, one of her cousin shows up, and proposes for marriage, her mom cries and begs to her and she's engaged again, because her mother is a heart patient as well as diabetic, so just to shut the previous guys mouth, they engaged her to this guy.
I want to marry her she wants to marry me, and i want to convert legally and have a happy life. My mom would allow and understand legal conversion only when i get married to this girl, we are going through a very bad time, we cant leave each other. Once she wanted to get a court marriage done, but i said no because i cared for her parents and she has a younger sister too. I always wanted to marry her with her parents being happy about it, i just took time to convince my mother.
If i cant marry her, i wouldn't be able to practice islam the way i would when we would be together and everyone would know, that i have legally converted, and she would support me and i would learn more, other wise i would just go through depression.
Im really tensed, if i was not able to phrase the situation correctly, forgive me, what should we do, please advice,
Thank you

Salamualaikum brother,
Congratulation for converting to Islam. Inshallah u will keep on practicing, and become a better Muslim.
Sorry to hear that u r goin thru tis, for it is a test from Allah, to see wat u will do, and how u will react. Since her parents do not like u anymore and now ur grl is engaged, I would say, that u should try and forget her. I don't thnk u want her reputation to get bad, for everyone will blame her and not u. Am pretty sure u will fnd someone else, and Allah has someone better for u. For now take care of ur mom and practice ur religion. Inshallah u will b makin the right decisions.
Dear Simogd:
First of all I congratulate you for entering into the fold of Islam. Indeed it is the greatest blessing you have received from Allah, because the blessing of faith is the only means that can save a human soul from a life of eternal regret and eternal damnation in Fire.
If anyone commit at action without thinking before what it will lead into and then discovers himself or herself in a troubling situation, like the one you have presented above, 99% of the time there will be no solution of that situation that will make everyone involved happy. This sad but true fact makes giving advice most difficult.
Although you cannot make everyone happy, being a Muslim you should now make sure that your actions please Allah. Being a Muslim, you should realize that the relationship you have enjoyed with this girl for four years was unlawful. Except for married couples, Islam completely forbids any sort of intimate relationships, both physical and emotional, between couples. Shaytan, the devil and the open enemy of humankind, is the matchmaker of such out of wedlock relationship, and thus such relationship is devoid of divine blessing. Whether you perceive it or not, the basis and fuel of such relationship are lust and desire, two great weapons of Shaytan. From such relationship, it is therefore impossible to discern if you are 'madly in love' with the girl. Before you do anything else, your first step should be sincerely repenting to Allah for all that has happened and keeping away from the girl unless you can marry her following proper Islamic marriage protocol.
Since your parents are from Asian background, I am assuming that you are not unfamiliar of fierce parental objections towards love marriage, inter-racial marriage, and inter-religious marriage due to cultural and religious reasons. I understand the objection of your girl friend's family towards this marriage, but it is unfortunate that they are objecting it for worldly reasons like familial reputation. It is also unfortunate that they are now spreading rumors about you. I am not questioning your conviction about Islam, but I would say that you have given them a chance, may be it is little, to make false accusations about you by not establishing you as a Muslim, both legally and practically. Islam is a very practical religion. When someone accepts Islam, he or she not only attests the oneness of Allah and the prophet-hood of Muhammad (pbuh) in the heart; he or she announces that attestation by changing their legal status like name and religious affiliation in official documents and practically manifests that attestation by observing prayers, fasting, giving charity, doing hajj and performing other Islamic rituals.
I would say announce your acceptance of Islam publicly (let it know among your friends and change your religion in official documents). Start doing acts of worship and try to become a practical Muslim first before marrying a Muslim girl. As for marrying your current girl friend, try to communicate with her parents. If you can convince her parents peacefully and truly, you can do nikah with her. If you can't settle these objections, it would be better both for you and your girl friend to forget each other. Remember, love and tranquility in married life comes from Allah, not from pre-marital love affairs.
Brother, it's wonderful that you have accepted Islam and it's a move that will help you throughout your life, and in the next life as well.
I also want to say that I am sorry to hear about your father and the way he died, I am sure that was very hard on you. May Allah comfort you and ease your heart.
However, as far as this girl, I think you blew your opportunity, and you should accept that and move on.
In the beginning you did everything right. You met with the girl's parents, and they approved of you, on the condition that you be honest with your mother about your conversion. That was a reasonable request. They wanted to know that you were for real, not just playing games, and also they wanted your mom to be involved and informed. That's all very reasonable.
You asked for more time. Okay. So time passed, and the girl's mother asked you again and again, and each time you said you need more time.
What do you imagine was going through the girl's parents' minds by that time? I can tell you. They were thinking that you are not for real, you're not serious, and that maybe your conversion to Islam was not sincere. So they engaged their daughter to someone else. Honestly, I would have done the same in their place.
Then you finally told your mom, and she agreed, but brother that's like shutting the barn door after the horse has fled. It was too late at that point.
You can say that her parents are worried about their image, or this or that, but you cannot deny that initially they approved of you, and they only changed their minds after your repeated delays. I think you must take responsibility for this situation and admit that you lost this chance.
You say that you cannot practice Islam properly unless you marry this girl. That's not true, brother. There are many good Muslim women out there who can be good partners to you.
If your conversion to Islam is sincere (and I am sure it is), then respect and accept the girl's parents' decision. Separate yourself from this girl, let time go by, get involved in the Muslim community, attend the masjid, and in time you will meet someone else Insha'Allah.

Salaam Simogd. Sounds like you've had a tough time lately.Unforunately, I am not religious enough for a religious perspective to my answer but your situation is familiar. Where does your (ex?)girlfriend fit into all of this? You have said a lot about how you feel and what you want but what does she want? Whilst she was not happy about the first engagement and willing put an end to that for you, if she is not speaking up for another time, is she perhaps happy with this man? Whilst you may still want her, maybe she's moved on...
I know that sounds harsh and I'm sorry for that but you have to consider your options here. To think you can't practise Islam without her in your life is Shaytan whispering sweet nothings to you. After all, people accepting the message of Islam is Shaytan's worst nightmare. You accepted Islam of your own free will and Allah will see you through the rough times. Have faith in that and all else will fall into place.
I hope things work out for you.
Dear brother simogd,
welcome to islam. inshallah you will find peace of heart and mind now. i understand your difficult situation. now that you have finally had the yes from your mom ,its gone wrong on the other side. i think it was very brave of you to speak to your mom knowing that she is also religious in her beliefs and that you are her only son. good of your mom to respect your decision.
do you think it will be possible for this girl to spaek to person she is engaged to that this engagement is against her wishes and that she would like to call it off . she doesnt really have to mention you in the picture but the whole community knows about it anyway. and once it is called off ( which will create a lot of turmoil) then you have chance. rememeber she is engaged not married. engagement has no standing in Islam. sothis other boy also is a namahram to her like you are.
i know a girl who wanted to marry someone she knew, she was engaged to someelse before she met this guy, she spoke to her parents who agreed initially but but then mom backed off and forced her into a formal engagement,saying she will never forgive her if she disobey her and was touching her feet to submit to her wishes. any way this girl then was forced into a nikah instead of engagement as planned . this girl spoke to several family memebers on both sides but nobody listen to her, eventually this boys brother agreed to speak to family of his and finally this nikah ended in divorce and she got married to the person she wanted to. all of this could have been avoided in the first place.
islam gives a woman and man the right to marry who they want provided they are muslim. its important that girls points out to her family that this engaement is angainst her wishes. give this issue soem more time but dont cross the limits that Allah has laid for us. otherwise it will all become very messy.
May Allah make it easy for you and for her.
Mmm, if you were a atheist to begin with, then why would your mom have a problem with you accepting islam, I mean surely she would be happy to see you believing in something at least, especially if she is really religious herself.
Anyhow putting all that aside, i seriously dont understand the fact why you havent legalized everything, i mean what are you waiting for ? considering that is one of the main reasons your situation didnt work out, and to be honest i really dont blame the parents, they seem like nice people at least they give you a chance (which btw is VERY rare).
And the girl loves her parents just like you love your mother, she gave into the engagement, because her mom is ill and she doesnt want to hurt her, just like you needed time with your mom, because you didnt want to hurt her.
And why do you say you cant fully practice islam without her ?? all you need is the love of Allah (swt) and his beloved prophet (P.b.u.h), your sole purpose should be to please Allah (swt), no where does it say to practice islam you need a partner to help you or something, and why are you waiting to get married to her and then tell everyone you converted, this all is so confusing.
Am sorry if am wrong buh i think you converted for the wrong reasons, if you did it for the love of Allah (swt) & his beloved prophet (p.b.u.h) then you should no what your doing now is haram, being in love and all.
I just hope you realise the real purpose of being a muslim, And get your priorities straight, and understand the fact that everything happens for the best, so maybe this is Allah (swt) way of telling you to move on.
Am sorry if anything i said hurt or upset you, i was just wanted to clarify a couple of things, which confused me.
If you have really converted to Islam without her and you truly believe that you will practice islam even if you don't have her then you have entered in islam. Cuz alot of people convert only to marry which is not acceptable. Conversion is only for allah and allah only.
Secondly Assuming that you are a muslim. I will have to tell you one thing, This life is no bollywood movie that you are living in. Marry her in court, Islam does not give them permission to stop there daughter. Take her and run away, Give her a good life.
Ofcourse theyll cry and wine for couple of months but when they see that she is happy, they will accept the truth. There is such thing as denial of truth and only time teaches us to face the truth and time will teach them to face the truth to.
You are a muslim and there is nothing wrong with what i said, BUT I really hope that you havent converted to marry her but you truly believe in teachings of allah and are willing to stick by it for the rest of your life even if you get her or not. Cuz there is nothing selfish then converting and lying in a way only to get married and you will eventually end up paying for it.
So before doing what i told you to do make sure your a true muslim by heart
AslamAlikom brother first of all I have to say congratulate to converted in Aslam.
Brother I can realize you very well because your story is exactly the same as my story hopefully every people are know weather the girl and boy they are happy the father and mother will be happy in the future.
oh my God!i loved ur love story....i mean it touched my heart..i know when u r truly in love u cnt even imagine the idea of ur soulmate being separated from u...u r MASHALLAH so strong n brave that u have copme so far...n please dont let her go away,she wont be happy without u at all....u have done so mch for her and for ur love just hang in there n pray to ALLAH SUBHANTALLAH He can make anything right...anything...u knw it is an azmaish for u...ALLAH TALAH says in Quran:har mushkil kay baad asani hae (translated) meaning that every after every difficult time there is a relief....so just have faith believe IN ALLAH...n u knw society n everythng this wont give u happiness neither her..so plz dont leave her n if ur gf is reading this i request u to please do something and leave that other guy becoz u wont be able to live with ur self for the rest of ur life....i knw it is very easy to say than doing it..but trust me dear i know how hard these things are especially in our society..but have patience.....ALLAH rewards those who are patient...n let me tell me u ,marriage is only n only ur decision according to islam...so please be very careful...in the end best of luck to both u guys!
hey u know what i have same probleam and i m also love with a memon girl...i m muslim a practicing muslim...but still her mother is refusing coz she is not geting istakra right....my parents even took my proposel to her parents...but her parents still not granting the permission....GOD KNOWS WHATS WRONG WITH MEMON COMMUNITY.....THEY ALWAYZ PREFER MEMONS MORE....BUT ISLAM IS AGINST ALL SECTS.....BUT DUNO WHATS WRONG...
Same here. Practicing muslim in love with a memon girl for over a year. She told me she'd do anything for me, then up came a proposal for her out of the blue from a rich memon family, i sent my parents toher place as well, and there was a madness for a month. It ended with her accepting the memon for the family respect and thereafter she stopped talking to me. I have yet to completely move on
I hope you have faired better than I when it comes to marrying a memon and being a non-memon. I was with a memon girl for almost two year. We had a physical relationship (no sex though) and both of us wanted to get married to each other. Her mom opposed my non-memon credentials from the get-go. I took another job and couldn't see the girl everyday and next thing you know is it all collapsed....I went and proposed to her mom, actually begged her.....my mom proposed, my elder sister proposed........the mom was clear in saying nothing had happened and that she can't have her marry outside the memon/gujrati community as their inheritance will be on the line.....her dad is passed away and her pious muslim uncles dont want to pass on the wealth.
My brother, my friend....i hope and pray to Allah that you and her get married....unfortunately these memons only value money and social status....the girl might not share these materialistic beliefs but her family does....let me assure you of that.....if you are super rich they will let their daughter marry you even if you are Sikh......otherwise the rest are all stories......trust me memons are kings of finding excuses of not honoring their commitments!
Brother, welcome to Islam......you are a brother to me.....but to not to a memon....they worship money unfortunately.

Mount Feathertop, Alpine National Park, Victoria, Australia
You wouldn't know it from this photograph but the winds at the time were horrendous. I couldn't stand up and had to bury my tripod in the snow with the camera protruding just above the snow. I was huddled over the camera to try and keep it still for this exposure. With these strong winds and below freezing temperatures overnight, ice had built up on the dead branches of these snow gums (in a classic contrast of alpine extremes, these gums had been killed by bushfires which had ravaged the area only a few years earlier). I waited for sunrise hoping for some great light on the iced snow gums before me. My patience in the cold was rewarded, when the sun rose it lit up the area with beautiful warm light. A marked contrast with the freezing windy conditions at the time.

BoA Reveals Her Secret to Beautiful Skin with "Sure" Magazine
BoA, who is currently serving as one of the judges in the survival audition program "K-Pop Star," recently revealed her secret to beautiful skin. The singer has recently been receiving a lot of attention for her honest criticism and commentary on SBS "K-Pop Star." Viewers were pleased to see a different side of her that they couldn't see while she was on stage.
She recently had a photoshoot with style magazine "Sure," and also sat down for an interview. In addition, her styling team revealed, "Because BoA sits down on the show while she is evaluating the contestants, viewers usually only get to see her upper body. As a result, we pay a lot of attention to her shirt, hairstyle, and makeup."
But even with only her upper body showing, netizens didn't fail to notice her beautiful skin.
What could be the singer's secret to beautiful skin? Good genes starting from her mother may be part of the reason, but the singer's hardworking effort in skincare is probably the larger reason.
When asked about the secret to her flawless skin, BoA replied, "Ever since I was young, I had to wear makeup for long periods of time. Because of this, I put in a lot of effort when I wash my face. I would say that the most important factor to good skin is thorough cleansing." The singer also added that in addition to paying attention to her face, she also spends a lot of time on the rest of her body with body wash.
Her beautiful photoshoot can be checked out in "Sure" magazine this May.

Brazil is out of the World Cup 2010 and the sixth victory has to wait. Anyhow, what would be better than bringing the victory home in the World Cup 2014, which will be played in Brazil.
Our eyes are now focused on this new objective and the wishes of the fans can be summarized into two things. First of all, Brazil is expected to play beautiful and entertaining samba football, secondly it's expected to win the tittle. This is definitely not going to be easy and certainly will need a lot of work both from the players and from the coaches, but as we all know the Brazilians will never give up.
Maracanã is waiting for the finalists 2014!
And Brazil Diversity is waiting for you!

Couldn't have asked for a better day.
It was hard to tell who was wearing what designer. That's JSG's Annie asking a model who she is wearing.
The Mandate of Heaven girls were late for the show, but vamped it up once they got there.

Fancy getting into the taxi business? You could with this custom Vespa on sale at the Indoscooter website.
To this eye it just looks like a bit of creative welding, involving an old car and an old Vespa, followed by a quick paint job. But I could be wrong. It says they've sold one already, but they're willing to make more "to order". Could go down a storm at weddings.

I've told citizens for a longish juncture that one of the "secrets" of work is liberty. Forgiveness takes your extremity out of the lesbian of the late so you can let the early flow. Buddha said, "forgiveness is bountiful up all optimism of a superior last." It is an act of entire volition, requiring singular a soft of the intuition. But how do you forgive the unforgivable?
Like jillions of Americans, I have been steeped in this contradiction. D-Day 64 was particularly rugged. Honoring our slain in the interior of our topical war heightened this warfare for me. How can I trainer empire to concede when I am having catchy in forgiving?
I've talked active this near race who I deeply respect, trust and respect. I quota it next to you.
Forgiveness is cathartic the bands on your hunch that interfere next to your mobile send on. To forgive conduct is not to excuse it. Condoning is like-minded ignoring, looking the remaining way. Forgiving is allowing you to facial expression short property your own precedent tinker. Personally, I can grant our soldiers for their vile behavior and carry on to slog as unenviable as I can to loose change this leadership.

But present is a utterly sacred seascape. It is a display that I enclose. I come up from the belief that the objective of duration - for respectively of us - is to be as close to G_d as allegeable. So that whenever anything bad happens to us, I grasping that we have been specified another possibility to reallocate spiritually closer to G_d. I telephone call it the "find the pencil" notion of the universe. When you get human you get more and more helpful feedback -"you're getting warm, warmer, hot, hotter." And when you answer otherwise, the macrocosm gives you gradually refusal action - "cool, cold, colder..." So unvindictive our soldiers is an chance for religious enlargement. You can in fact sympathise with those you are irascible with, because the cosmos has fixed them the vexation of human being that way.
Aside from one cousin, all of my relatives from WWII have passed on. The war exists for me as reminiscence and my experiences as a childlike boy. I retrieve going on a train from Brooklyn to Miami and self 'adopted' by a task force of soldiers - a lovingly remembered high spot of my childhood - And going to Ebbets Field to study the Dodgers - I sat in the left-handed field bleachers, exactly subsequent to the sector self-conscious for the defence force - I treasured it. I have a print of myself at age seven, wearying a bursting soldier's social unit I warmth my administrative division.
As I grant today's underprivileged army, I rest my love, my leader deify and my thoughtful amazement for these brave, willing, but unintended puppylike family. And I suffer for those who have so mindlessly died.Post ads:

"I think something will happen," he said. "I just don't know what it's going to be.
"We told them we'd look at it and we would report back in the autumn. The competition committee will look at it in May and get back to them.
"It's a real issue because you (could) have too much. Is it just referee-initiated? Does the team have the right to do it, under what circumstances? We used to play games in under two hours. A network game will probably be 2:16, 2:18."
Playoff fever
Last season when the playoffs began, Yao Ming was out. The season before, he was back from his knee injury but not 100 percent. The season before that, the Rockets did not make the playoffs.
The feeling this season is different.
"I can tell you right now, I feel excited," Yao said. "I know there is a long journey ahead of us. But I'm still excited.
"We had a pretty successful season, myself and the team. Everybody is healthy, except Tracy (McGrady). Most of the people are healthy getting to the playoffs, and that gives us a big chance to win."
Playoffs a reward
Looking forward to the start of the postseason, Rockets guard Ron Artest described playoff Basketball simply.
"All it is is going out there playing hard and with a lot of passion," he said. "Your passion is going to lead wherever it is going to lead you.
"It's going to get intense. But it's fun. It's Basketball."
Debunking a myth
As much as is made of the Rockets' recent inability to get out of the first round, the Trail Blazers' playoff inexperience has been often discussed as a key issue.
Rockets coach Rick Adelman is not among those pointing to the Blazers' youth.
"I don't buy the stuff that they're a young team," Adelman said. "(LaMarcus) Aldridge and (Brandon) Roy look pretty seasoned to me. They've both been around a while. (Steve) Blake's been around a while. (Travis) Outlaw's been in the league. Our experience is not a heck of a lot more. I just see the team I see, and they're a very good team. They're Basketball players and they're good."

I like vanity plates too, but I don't have them because I figure they are easier for witnesses to recall.
Is that $41 flat, or $41 over the regular tag fee? In TexSux they are $40 over the regular fee. Not expensive, but a slight hassle to get. The form was easy, but the tag had to be picked up from the main county TXDOT office rather than my nearby neighbourhood division. That meant a trip into downtown Dallas during biz hours. Eccchhhhh.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Black (10/15/09)
TITLE: Siren Song
By Myrna Noyes
David shook his head, trying to clear it, as he leaned, mug in hand, against the sink near the open kitchen window. He had come downstairs in hopes that some warm milk would help him sleep. He'd spent the last hour in bed, twisting from one side to another, while the racy, R-rated images of the "wee hours" movie he'd just viewed replayed themselves in a continuous loop through his brain. He knew he shouldn't have watched it, but Lynda had retired earlier, and he'd been bored.
"Where's this music coming from?" he muttered aloud. "The TV is off, and the radio isn't even plugged in."
Opening the back door, he listened intently. It seemed to be emanating from the brushy, brambly, back fence corner. He'd intended to clean out that area after they'd moved in last month, but he'd not gotten to it yet.
"I guess I'd better check it out." He grabbed the kitchen flashlight and headed out into the sultry summer night. Crossing the shadowy lawn, he picked up a stout stick and then whacked at the overgrowth until he exposed a flat, circular piece of wood, looking like an old cistern cover. The sound was definitely louder here. He leaned down, flipping the lid over.
His flashlight showed what appeared to be some kind of hole. An indistinct glow hovered at the surface, as if from a weak-wattage bulb reaching into dense fog. Before David could ponder that, he was staggered by a head rising at his feet through the haze. He stumbled backwards, breathless and voiceless, as shoulders and a torso followed. He dropped the flashlight in shock, but the moonshine revealed a youthful, feminine form, standing on some sort of platform, attired in a "barely-there" black dress . A misty shimmer clung to the bewitching figure, as she bowed slightly and held out a large tray, inviting in a low, Lauren Bacall-type voice, "May I offer you some dessert, Sir? You'll find my treats are quite tasty." David stared at cut-glass bottles containing various dark liqueurs and at gilt-edged plates of rich, decadent pastries and confections.
This is some bizarre dream I'm having, David assured himself with a nervous chuckle. And since it's not real, what would it hurt to indulge a bit? His mouth tingled as he swallowed bite after bite of the delicacies presented to him, and his blood seemed afire as he sampled all the drinks.
When he finished, the woman smiled, throwing him a flirtatious wink as she sank back down into the hole. He scooped up his flashlight and trained it on the spot, but saw only a black void.
A stomachache and a headache vied to awaken him the next morning. As he trudged into the bathroom , Lynda looked up from bed and asked, "How'd you get all those dried leaves and twiggy pieces on your robe?"
David glanced down at himself, the events of his dream flooding back. He cast about in his mind for a plausible reason. "Ummmm... the cat must've brushed against me on her way in last night."
Lynda seemed to accept that and settled back onto her pillow.
David was now desperate to inspect that corner of the yard, but he was already late for work, and the busy day and evening flew by with no opportunity. Bedtime came again, and soon after turning out his bedside lamp, the siren song began anew, drawing him like a magnet back to the pit. He glanced at Lynda, who snored softly in oblivion. With a sense of both curiosity and unease, he slipped from their room and out to the backyard.
Many covert encounters followed. Months passed. His marriage ruined, addictions gripping him, and his job in jeopardy, David met the now-familiar enchantress one frigid winter's eve. No tray of delectable delights welcomed him this time. Instead she beckoned David to draw closer. "Come with me tonight." she whispered in seductive, silken tones. "I'll show you things you've never even imagined before."
David hesitated, glancing back at his dark, empty house and reflecting on his dark, empty life. From the pit came muted sounds of belonging-- clinking glasses, women giggling, that old compelling music.
"Well, are you coming?" she purred.
As he began to step forward, an almost-forgotten childhood memory verse flashed through his mind, "The wages of sin is death..."

While everyone who's at the festival is wandering around the site on Saturday morning trying to shift 'Brianstorm' from their head with a bacon sandwich possibly made out of bacon, you're at home, fresh as a daisy, ready to get your living room party on again.
Naturally, the day's all geared towards The Rolling Stones' long-awaited Glastonbury debut, but don't forget the BBC's only managed to negotiate an hour of this – which is better than the four songs they were originally promised, unless the Stones are planning to drag 'Paint It Black' out for 45 minutes. Still, an hour of prime rock'n'roll is good enough, and once that's done you can always flick over to Public Enemy to check what time it is.
Anyway, sifting through 80-odd hours' worth of coverage, here are 10 unmissable acts for Saturday.
Australian spaceheads Jagwar Ma should be just the ticket for Saturday lunchtime, keeping it vaguely soothing with some trad 90s baggy beats, idyllic harmonies and psychedelic synth washes. In fact, they sound like Glastonbury incarnate. All they need are moustache-less beards, denim shorts and wellies to feel right at home at Worthy Farm. With terrific debut album 'Howlin" just out – including songs that cover all bases from The Beach Boys on acid to The Beach Boys on MDMA – this is a great time to be, and see, Jagwar Ma.
Azealia Banks will be looking forward to Glastonbury and the chance to meet thousands more artists to get into Twitter 'beefs' with. Play your cards right and she might stay focused enough to deliver a blistering, brilliant set that reboots the thrilling, rhyme-spitting, confrontational persona from '212' and leaves us with an artist who you can imagine actually getting around to releasing a debut album sometime this year. Hope springs, people. On the other hand she might just spend half an hour slagging everyone else off, which would be fun too.
Seems like only yesterday that Noah And The Whale were swanning about in boaters and yellow ties, looking like – let's face facts – a bunch of posh folkie twerps. Now they've sawn off those twee roots, worked through a bit of heartache, and come out the other end as new purveyors of rousing US heartland FM rock. New album 'Heart Of Nowhere' is a cracker and Charlie Fink and the Heartbreakers put on an accomplished show, so there's no excuse really.
What's this we hear about a surprise guest appearance from Morrissey? Nothing. But of course there might be the slightly less surprising guest appearance from 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' and other Smiths classics the Officially Godlike Johnny Marr thinks he can get his vocal cords around. After three decades or so in the game, Marr's got more than a few old Smiths numbers up his sleeve and a newly discovered stage presence to justify his place front and centre. An essential both in the field and on the telly.
This year's 'More Light' is a return to… uh, something, but what? Maybe the best bits off 'Beautiful Future', 'Evil Heat' and 'Riot City Blues'. So, not quite an 'XTRMNTR' or 'Screamadelica', but certainly worth half a 'Vanishing Point'. This is all digression because Da Scream's main superpower is performing live, where they find just the right alchemy of rootsy rock and browbeating techno phantasmagoria, Bobby Gillespie claps like a distracted seal and everyone has a rare old time.
Say cheese! It's Savages, this year's most serious debutants and a band likely to fill the John Peel tent as far as the Pyramid field. Get there early or – hang on – just kick back in your lazy-boy and catch the whole thing on your laptop. Savages' first album 'Silence Yourself' has attracted adjectives ranging all the way from "uncompromising" to "inflexible" but it's frequently brilliant and Jehnny Beth is a compelling lead. As intense on video as in the flesh, this lot are a must.
Turning up in boiler suits like a Manc Beastie Boys, Everything Everything tend to look the part. They also, improbably, sound it too. Albums 'Man Alive' and 'Arc' seem too jittery, a touch too complex to really work outside the studio but the band pull it off every time, with Jonathan Higgs leaping between octaves like a salt of the earth Mariah Carey. They're on a mission as well, keeping the new material coming like hay while the sun shines so this could be a set of surprises.
Yes, the BBC will only get an hour of this, but the Stones hit the ground running, with a (current) standard opening quartet of 'Get Off Of My Cloud', 'It's Only Rock'n'Roll', 'Paint It Black' and 'Gimme Shelter'. I think we can all get with that, right? Even if they mix it up a bit, it's not as if they don't have dozens of other bangers to choose from. And come on, it's The Rolling Stones. You're guaranteed Mick's chicken dance, Keef's riffs slung about ankle-height, Ronnie's Marlboro and Charlie's impassive jazz-cat austerity.
TURN IT UP. BRING THE NOISE. Can doddery old hip-hop dons still cut it? Sure. Chuck D's lost none of his righteous ire and Flavor Flav's still got, um, a splendid selection of clocks that'll look just peachy above the breakfast bar. They haven't had Terminator X providing the beats, squalls, sirens and hurricanes of general cacophony for a good decade now, but Public Enemy are still a blizzard of sound and fury, and a suitably godlike alternative to the rock legend thing happening on the main stage.
They stay up a little later at the Park, which is all good because Fuck Buttons are the right guys to take you raving into the night, mixing hard beats with Pink Floyd-on-poppers space prog. They give you hands in the air moments without every really committing to the dancefloor, but who knows what new album 'Slow Focus' is going to deliver? This is Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power's first in four years, and what a time to unveil it.

No one disputes that impaired driving is a problem or that drug-impaired driving is a part of that problem. There is a fine line, however, between calmly and prudently addressing these matters and overreacting with irrational policy responses. The past week has shown us some unfortunate examples of the latter.
As marijuana legalization looms next year, governments and police forces across the country seem inclined to exercise an abundance of caution in approaching this new reality — some more so than others. In Quebec, for example, they're taking the ultra-cautious approach to a concerning extreme.
What to expect as pot legislation is tabled in the House of Commons
Among other measures, Quebec's new legislation proposes a zero-tolerance approach for marijuana and driving. Any motorist with even trace amounts in their system could lose their licence for 90 days, which would almost certainly ensnare drivers who are not in any way impaired and may be several days removed from the last time they consumed the drug. That seems rather unjust, for one thing. Moreover, it's hard to see how that improves road safety.
Alcohol, of course, is the far bigger problem when it comes to impaired driving, yet no government has proposed reducing the legal blood-alcohol content (BAC) level to zero. No one would seriously argue that a motorist who registers a BAC level of 0.01 is impaired — or 0.001, for that matter. Such an approach would indeed be irrational. So why does it make sense to apply it here?
According to Statistics Canada, drug-impaired driving accounts for only about four per cent of total impaired driving incidents — and that includes all drugs. For example, the province with the highest drug-impaired driving rate, Newfoundland and Labrador, has a rate of just over 20 incidents per 100,000 population. The province with the highest alcohol-impaired driving rate, Saskatchewan, has a rate of nearly 600 incidents per 100,000 population.
When making new laws, we can't lose sight of what the evidence tells us about risk.
A 2015 study from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that alcohol-impaired drivers are at a far higher risk of a crash than marijuana-impaired drivers. In fact, there was no statistically significant change in the risk of a crash associated with the use of marijuana, painkillers, or antidepressants. Alcohol impairment, however, increased the odds of a crash by nearly 600 per cent.
And remember, we are legalizing cannabis not inventing it. Both vehicles the drug itself have existed for decades. Cannabis-impaired driving has been illegal for decades. There are some who seem under the impression that we're unleashing this drug on society.
The Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police released a letter this week warning of how the legalization timeline leaves "insufficient time for the full consideration necessary in the creation of the regulatory framework to ensure the safety of Albertans." When it comes to drug-impaired driving, it's illegal now, it was illegal last year, and it will be illegal in 2018 and beyond. That isn't changing. If anything, the new federal legislation further clarifies and strengthens the laws around drug-impaired driving and sets out thresholds for THC limits.
Furthermore, simply because cannabis is legalized it does not automatically mean a surge in consumption, and even if it did, it does not follow that a surge in consumption leads to an increase in impaired driving. As even MADD Canada has pointed out repeatedly, Germans consume about 20 per cent more alcohol than Canadians, yet their rate of fatal alcohol-related crashes is five times lower.
Lethbridge man charged with drug-impaired driving after Thursday crash
We can also look to the experience in the U.S. states that have now had three years of legalization. A major study released earlier this year found that "changes in motor vehicle crash fatality rates for Washington and Colorado were not statistically different from those in similar states without recreational marijuana legalization."
So while we shouldn't be complacent about what awaits us in 2018, we shouldn't be needlessly paranoid, either. Irrational paranoia is what created the mess of prohibition in the first place.

CINCINNATI - The Bengals have Carson Palmer's replacement onboard.
CINCINNATI - The Bengals have Carson Palmer's replacement onboard.
With their franchise quarterback insisting he wants out, the Bengals took TCU's Andy Dalton in the second round of the NFL draft last night, their second straight pick aimed at replacing one of their most important players.
They took A.J. Green from Georgia with the fourth overall pick in the opening round, bringing in a receiver who can take over for Chad Ochocinco, the franchise's career receptions leader. One round later, they brought in a new quarterback.
"We spent a lot of time on this, no question," coach Marvin Lewis said. "It's a big, important piece, important pick."
Dalton quickly will get the chance to become the next face of one of the NFL's most dysfunctional franchises. The Bengals have only two winning records in the past 20 years, going through quarterbacks at a pell-mell pace.
"He's going to be a great quarterback in this league, in my opinion," offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said. "He's going to get a lot of opportunity to do that, come in here and compete for the job right away. What else do you want as a rookie quarterback?"
Depending upon what happens with Palmer, Dalton could get a chance to run the offense in a few months - a stunning change for a team that made the playoffs two years ago.
The Bengals hit a franchise low point last season, matching the club record by losing 10 in a row and finishing 4-12 with an offense built around Palmer, receivers Ochocinco and Terrell Owens, and running back Cedric Benson. It was so alarming that Lewis played out his contract, unsure he wanted to stay.
After two days of talks with owner Mike Brown, the coach agreed to an extension. Then, Palmer asked for a trade. He told Brown that he'd rather retire than return. Brown has refused, leaving them in a stalemate.
Ochocinco has a year left on his contract, but thinks he'll be released. Owens won't be back. And Benson is a free agent.
There's a lot of change going around, and Dalton is suddenly at the center of it.
"It seems like a lot of guys might not be around," Dalton said, in a conference call.
Having Dalton around could make the Bengals more comfortable with the thought of trading Palmer, although Lewis sidestepped questions about a trade yesterday.
"We're not talking about that," Lewis said. "This is Andy Dalton's day. It's a great day."
The pick totally rearranges the depth chart at the position. The No. 2 quarterback is Jordan Palmer, who is Carson's younger brother. Jordan Palmer has never started an NFL game. Third-stringer Dan LeFevour was a rookie last season who never got into a game.
Dalton could quickly move to the top of the list. Lewis thinks he can be ready to start next season.
"I feel real confident in that, if he had to," Lewis said. "And I think that's what really drew us to keeping our fingers crossed so much, what we felt was his maturity and his readiness to be able to stop in."
The pick didn't surprise Jordan Palmer, who led workouts in California this week with receivers, tight ends and running backs.
"I kind of figured that with the situation right now, you need to start picking for the future," Jordan Palmer said, in a phone interview. "He's a high-value guy right there.
"As far as him coming in, I think it was a good pick. All I want is a chance to compete."
The Bengals chose Dontay Moch from Nevada in the third round, a pick for down the line. Moch played mostly defensive end in college, and the Bengals plan to turn him into a linebacker.

Well, I was going to publish a CD review today, but it didn't happen. So on this Saint Paddy's Day, enjoy this fine live performance of a love letter to Dublin: "Rare Auld Times." Brian Dunphy of the High Kings dedicates it to his father, who had passed away recently at the time of this recording. It's a stellar vocal, and I love the way they just strum away with abandon on the guitar and
banjo sorry, not a banjo as I'm looking more closely at it. Stringed something-something. Anyway, this is the kind of spirited, rough-hewn music-making I love. I love the guy in blue just grinning and leaning back behind them in the background like, "Yep. Way to do it!"
As the light declines
I remember Dublin City
In the rare auld times…

Making Moments: Mickey's Ogre
Today with Lunch Bucket's help, I brought Mickey and some of the other stuffed animals to life. I helped Mickey, and Lunch Bucket helped Bree (my stuffed animal horse).
Mickey and Bree built a castle for Mickey, but then a humungous ogre came and crushed it.
So to defend themselves against the ogre, they put up a fort – which he was able to climb over.
So they got together as a team and attacked him full-on. They were able to knock him over, but the ogre was resilient, and got back up and tromped through their fort and castle rubble.
But then Raggedy Anne (with Jenni's help) came and explained to the group that their ogre was actually a cute little nice boy. So they befriended Tootles, the "ogre." And played hide-and-seek with him until bedtime.

Hi All,
I finally got the craft room cleaned up and had to get to work this weekend. Buying the hubs a store bought card was just not an option. I pulled out my tried and true set: My Hero, My Dad. I paired up these images with some of my favorite blues: Island Indigo & Pool Party.
My card was inspired by this gem from Maile Belles. I love the geometric shapes and the cool design she created. Perfect for a masculine card! I paired up the Island Indigo and Pool Party with More Mustard. It's a combo right off of my Color Coach. It works every time. Be sure to get the new In Color cards to add to your old ones.
I hope that all of the Father's in your life had a fabulous day!
Stamps: My Hero, My Dad
Paper: Island Indigo, Pool Party, More Mustard, Crumb Cake & Whisper White Cardstock
Ink: Island Indigo, Pool Party, More Mustard & Crumb Cake Classic Pads
Accessories: Scissors & Pop Dots/Dimensionals

05/20/13 With summer around the corner, and the end of the school year in sight, new and eligible blood donors are urged to help strengthen the blood supply by volunteering to give in the next few weeks.
"While summer signals rest and relaxation for a lot of us, it's also a time we can work together to ensure blood is there for hospital patients," said Sharyn Whitman, CEO for the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross.
Low blood supplies are typical from late May through September because regular donors and their families become busy with summer fun and may neglect to donate blood. At the same time, blood needs rise as increased roadway and travel-related accidents drain supplies—particularly during high travel weekends like Memorial Day. Someone seriously injured in an automobile accident, for instance, may need up to 40 units of blood for their emergency care.
"The need for blood never takes a vacation," said Whitman. "We're asking all eligible donors—including students–to remember the countless adults and children in need of blood, and to make donating blood part of their summer activities."
Upcoming American Red Cross blood drives in our area include:
· Wednesday, May 22, from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Bremen High School in the Lion's Den, located at 511 W. Grant St. in Bremen. Come to donate and receive a t-shirt.
· Thursday, May 23, from 11:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus in the Hall, located at 901 E. Jefferson St. in Plymouth.
How to Donate Blood
To schedule an appointment to donate please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org for more information. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in Indiana and Ohio), meet weight and height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on their height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. Please bring your Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when you come to donate.
