To this end, Leyendecker allows us a view through the opening in a patterned wall to see a beautiful harem woman holding the mouthpiece of a water pipe or hookah in her left hand. The smoke wafting up from the hookah overlays the scene and some of the letters in the identifying title. The influences of Art Nouveau and Symbolism are present in this drawing, as in many of Leyendecker's early works.

The six legged Prague Bench was introduced at the Spring 2012 Market in High Point. That, along with the Legacy Bench, we among our top sellers. They are especially popular because they exhibit who we are and what we do best. Heating metal to more than 2,000 degrees and shaping it by hand and hammer is not an easy task, but one that we take pride in. Pride in our craftsmanship is obvious especially when we are asking our artisans to repeat "the look" more than once, by hand, not by machine.
We've combined top of the line, solft, saddle stiched leather, with solid steel to create these beautiful pieces. Consider placing a bench at the foot of the bed, in the hallway or foyer, or even as an alternative to chairs at the dining room table.

Alabama Counties: Lamar County
Click on the map to get a detailed image of the county
Provided by Alabama Maps
Lamar County was created by the Alabama legislature on 1867 Feb. 4, and was originally named Jones County after E.P. Jones, a resident of Fayette County. On 1867 Nov. 13, the county was abolished. On 1868 Oct. 8, the county was re-created under the name of Sanford County. On 1877 Feb. 8, the name was changed to Lamar in honor of Senator L.Q.C. Lamar of Mississippi. Lamar County is bordered by Marion, Fayette, and Pickens counties in Alabama, and by Lowndes and Monroe counties in Mississippi. It currently encompasses 605 square miles. The county is drained by the Tombigbee River.
In 1866, the community known as Swayne Courthouse, named for Gen. Wager Swayne, military governor of the Chattahoochee District of the state, was designated as the county seat. In 1868 the name was changed to Vernon, after Edmund Vernon, an immigrant from Vernon, England. Other towns and communities include Sulligent, Beaverton, and Millport.

I haven't really done my homework on this one, but I know from experience that the driver for a lot of older ATI cards, including the Rage Mobility M card in my rtorrent slave, is no longer included in the ati driver package for xorg.
It's now in the mach64 driver, which isn't difficult to figure out since the error message from X when you try the ati driver is, "Failed to load module "mach64″ (module does not exist, 0)".
I know it's been this way for a long time, because I can remember this happening when I installed Arch on that machine, quite a few months ago. Of course I never updated that machine in Arch, so it doesn't surprise me that I didn't trip up on that changeover. That's me again, late to the party.
But you never know when you'll stumble across one of those old ATIs. That card is very similar to the one in my old Dell CPx J750GT laptop, and I know it appears in a lot of other laptops too. It's a decent card, with pretty good graphics for its age. If you find one, don't turn it down.

The ultimate party season makeup with MAC
Party season: it's all about late nights, glittering dresses and clinking champagne glasses, so it's only fitting that your makeup matches!
Often we get so wrapped up in our outfit for Christmas parties and New Year's Eve that we tend to forget about our makeup, even though it's just as much a part of our outfit as the clothes. It's a shame, because makeup around party season is SO FUN, with all the bold lips, sparkly highlight and even sparklier eyes!
This week, I headed into MAC to chat about this year's hottest trends in party season makeup and get some insider tips on makeup clutch essentials and how to achieve party-ready makeup in five minutes flat. Naturally, I had my MAC makeup artist Dani give me a lesson in her #1 party season makeup look too!
Alyce: So, what are the key looks in party season makeup this year?
Dani: Firstly, the smokey eye, in either your classic grey and black, or in something a bit more festive, like plums and coppers. People are loving the shimmering eye look too, where you can take your pick from metallic shadows in every colour under the sun. Finally, the classic winged liner and bold lip combo is still super popular, because it works for everyone and everywhere!
I decide to go with a shimmering smokey eye in bronze/copper tones, with a nude lip and thick lashes!
A: We're heading out for a big night. What are our getting-ready essentials?
D: Definitely these products... they are my secret weapons!
- Pro Longwear Foundation – it's waterproof, so works well in warmer climates, plus it's great for photos!
- Fix+ Hydrating Mist – it can be applied directly onto your makeup to keep it looking dewy all night long.
- Prep + Prime Lip Primer – a must under your lipstick!
- 3 Lashes – what's party season without a set of volumised lashes?!
- Mineralize Skinfinish in Gold Deposit – the ultimate highlighting product for that J-Lo-inspired glow.
- In Extreme Dimension Mascara – carry in your purse for touch-ups.
A: One of those lifelong questions: how do we get our smokey eye looking like it's makeup artist-applied?
D: The trick is using three eyeshadows! Choose a heavier, darker base, like our Pro Longwear Paint Pot. Go for a matte shadow for the outer corner and crease, add a shimmering shadow for the inner corner and blend, blend, blend! If you like a heavy smokey eye, smudge a darker shadow into your lower lash line too.
A: We've got plans straight after work and only have a few minutes to get ready. What's the fastest way to give ourselves a makeover?
D: Easy! Pop on a set of lashes and apply a bright, bold lip. You'll be feeling party-ready in no time!
A: Once we're out, is there anything we can do to make sure our look lasts all night long?
D: Before you even apply your makeup, make sure you use a good primer, like our Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Primer and Prep + Prime Lip Primer. Carry our Blot Film in your purse to freshen your makeup and also your chosen lipstick shade for touch-ups. My other rule? You can never have too much highlighter!
A: It's a case of which came first, the chicken or the egg... Should we be choosing our outfit or our makeup first?
D: I find it easier to choose my outfit first and base my makeup look around that. When you do your makeup, rather than applying all your usual products, think about what you're wearing – the colours, the vibe – and choose your products from there. It will bring your whole look together!
A: Bronzer, highlighter and contour are obviously a huge part of party makeup. Is there a trick to applying them?
D: My secret trick is to use a couple of shades. I like using a matte bronzer, like our Bronzing Powder in Give Me Sun, then applying a bronze highlighter, like our Mineralize Skinfinish in Gold Deposit on top. Chisel those cheekbones by applying with a brush!
A: Do you have any favourite lipstick shades that are perfect for a night out?
D: Yes! I love our lipstick in Blankety pictured above for something nude, or Red Rock or Lady Danger for a pop of red.
A: Okay, it's the morning after the night before. What products will have us looking and feeling fresh again?
D: You'll be dehydrated, so first use the Charged Water Face and Body Lotion to restore your skin. I also love the Charged Water Hydration Mist, which can be sprayed over your face whenever it's feeling a little dry. Of course, a concealer is also a must for those under-eye circles – my favourite is the Prep + Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast.
Voila! Thanks to my MAC makeup artist Dani for giving me my ultimate party season look!

Ancient Document Reveals New Take on Three Wise Men
A Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Oklahoma has translated an eighth-century script that changes what many Christians think they know about the nativity scene.
Professor Brent Landau spent two years translating the text from Syriac, a language spoken by Christians from Syria through Iraq and Iran, to English.
The English translation of Revelation of the Magi describes in detail over a dozen wise men, rather than the traditional number of three.
According to the script, there could have been scores of wise men, but they were limited to three because they brought three gifts.
The script also says the wise men came from a semi-mythical place on the eastern edge of the world called Shir, or modern-day China.
In the script's English translation, it was actually baby Jesus himself who was the guiding star the Magi followed.
The term Magi was from the fourth century BC for ancient stargazers who had the ability to read and manipulate fate foreshadowed in the sky.
Although the authors of the document say it was written by the Magi, experts believe it was more likely written by their descendants since it carries in-depth depictions of their rituals and prayers.
The story says the Magi descended from Adam's third son, Seth.
"The story says that Seth passed down a prophecy that at some point a star would appear that would signal the birth of God in human form," Landau said, according to the Daily Mail. "The Magi waited thousands of years, passing down the prophecy and then the star appeared where the Magi were. It transformed into a small luminous human being who was Christ himself in a pre-existent, celestial form."
"It is saying that Jesus Christ and the Star of Bethlehem are the same thing and Jesus Christ can transform himself into anything. The star guides them to Bethlehem and into a cave where it transforms into a human infant who tells them to go back and be preachers of the Gospel," Landau added.
The document also makes no mention of the types of gifts the wise men presented to Jesus. "The story does say that the Magi brought gifts to Jesus, but interestingly the text never tells us if they are the familiar gold, frankincense, and myrrh," Landau said.
Landau said it is unknown who wrote the text, but the author(s) were inclined to the wise men. "Somebody was really fascinated by the wise men to have created this big, long story and tell it from their perspective," Landau said, according to the Daily Mail.
The script has been held in the Vatican for 250 years and the story is believed to have first been told in the late second or early third century.
The Gospel of Matthew is the only book in the bible that makes mention of the Magi.
"Nobody knows where Matthew got the story from, so along with Matthew's Gospel this is as close as you can get to the Magi," Landau said.

The NewHouseTeam
We're a team of energetic professionals working under the umbrella of one of the largest Real Estate companies in the country. We are passionate about providing our clients with the best service they've ever experienced in buying or selling. Part of that will be implementing unique "care" systems for them throughout the process. We modeled our mission, vision and values after many great companies including Southwest Airlines, Zappos, BMW and Google. We'll run screaming from any "normal" real estate look and feel for our design.
Our target client is 35 to 55 years old and college educated. They are passionate about their children's education, giving in the communities where they live, are focused on quality food and dining choices, travel extensively and love outdoor adventure sports. They are usually either business owners, high-level executives or are on an executive team within their company. They are tech savy, visual and want to use their time effectively. They are drawn to creative, edgy designs and marketing that do not scream "run of the mill real estate". Their homes are warm, contemporary and unique, have lots of "green" implements and natural materials, and provide quality comfort and systems to make the experience of living there the best that can be offered.
Nothing cartoony, cheesy or over-used in the real estate marketplace. We tend to love warm colors from nature. In appealing to a higher end client, the design needs to be creative, yet clean and easy to relate to. We may change the name of the team (newhouse) in the process as well, so the design doesn't have to include that name. We really like the look and feel of the BJ Adams and Company site. http://www.bjac.net. While our clients will not be in the "ultra" high price points that they work with, many of the characteristics of the clients will be similar.

Boy Suffers Near-Fatal Asthma Attack After Eating Trendy 'Dragon's Breath' Dessert
In 2017, the dessert called "Dragon's Breath" was banned from the Pensacola State Fair after a 14-year-old suffered a burn to her thumb. Less than a year later, another child has been injured by the trendy treat five hours east at a mall in Jacksonville, Florida. His mother is speaking out to warn other parents about the trendy treat's potentially fatal effects.
Dragon's Breath is as a cereal snack similar to Froot Loops that are dipped in liquid nitrogen. When consumed, a smoke-like substance billows from the nose and mouth. It may look cool, but the ingestion of liquid nitrogen could lead to severe internal damage.
Racheal McKenny took to Facebook on July 25 to share a cautionary tale about how her son, Johnny, nearly died after eating Dragon's Breath at Avenues Mall. Johnny has asthma and uses a prescription inhaler, which McKenny normally keeps in her bag when the family is doing anything that involves a lot of physical exercise, "like walking the theme parks, riding our bikes, or going to the park," she wrote.
Johnny also uses a nebulizer about two or three times a year. It helps to clear his lungs when he has a bad cold or upper respiratory infection. Needless to say, McKenny didn't think she would need the inhaler or the nebulizer for a trip to the mall - but she was wrong. About 10 minutes into their 40-minute ride home - just after Johnny and his sister shared an order of Dragon's Breath - he started choking up.
"About 10 minutes into the ride home, Johnny started an occasional cough. Around 20 minutes in, the cough became really consistent," McKenny wrote on Facebook. "By the time we passed the Palencia sub division, he was coughing so bad that he was having trouble catching his breath. We knew he couldn't breathe, and we knew that we couldn't get him to the hospital in time."(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.1'; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));Posted by Racheal Richard McKenny on Wednesday, July 25, 2018
Luckily, her husband, John, knew there was a firehouse nearby. After the family stopped at the station, EMTs started working on Johnny. They gave him albuterol (a drug that helps with asthma symptoms) via nebulizer and hooked him up to an IV. Johnny was loaded into an ambulance, where he was given a shot of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) to help open his airways.
Prior to reaching the hospital, McKenny says Johnny had a second breathing treatment and a steroid. He was evaluated and sent home with a few days worth of steroids and will use his nebulizer as needed, but is doing well.
"PLEASE, if you know someone that has even just a mild case of asthma, do NOT let them have this snack," McKenny wrote on Facebook. "I should have known better, but it did not occur to me that this food could have this effect. As a result, my son could have died. Please don't make the same mistake I did."
The mother of two shared the scary experience in hope of preventing it from happening to those who read her message, and, of course, to recognize the heroes at St. John's County Fire Rescue Station #12 for saving her son's life. Dragon's Breath may be fun to eat, but does a few minutes of faux smoke outweigh the potential health risks? Find joy in these all-time craziest state fair foods instead.

Matthew 22:35-40 King James Version (KJV)
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

For an overview of supported platforms, please refer to the Technical Requirements Documentation.
- In AEM 6.4, Closed User Group or CUG provides a way to restrict folder access on publish instance, it's a touch UI option to add principals through folder properties page at the folder level and are applied to all folder and subfolders/assets inside.
- In publish mode, if a CUG is configured and authorization enabled om a folder, users are redirected to a login page when they try to access the folder. Therefore, authorized users can access the folder and its assets only after successful login. Hence, CUG restricts read access to a given tree in the content repository for everyone except selected principals.
Dynamic Media in 6.4 supports a new mode - where master asset is uploaded and managed with AEM Assets web UI, and dynamic renditions and other dynamic media features are handled in the background by the Dynamic Media cloud delivery service.
In this new mode (introduced first with the release of AEM 6.3 Feature Packs 14410 and 18912), users benefit from end-to-end asset management and dynamic media features using the modern AEM Assets web UI, and still leverage the delivery services that are backwards compatible with Dynamic Media Classic (Scene7)—including delivery URLs, which are unchanged.
In addition, AEM 6.4 introduces new features powered by Adobe Sensei, enhancements for emerging media like VR and 3D, Dynamic Media viewers, and support for Experience Fragments in Interactive Images and Carousel Banners.
- Smart Crop automatically provides non-destructive cropping of images to preserve the point of interest for responsive design. You can preview cropped suggestions and manually adjust them, if necessary.
- This feature also enables automated swatch generation for product imagery. Automated swatch generation helps to add color swatches, pattern swatches, or both to product images automatically.

Women's Tree Loungers
AUD incl. GST
Light, breathable, and an ideal co-pilot when you're slipping into any type of warm and sunny situation.
What the Tree?
Maybe we were going out on a limb when we thought to make shoes out of trees. But thanks to magical eucalyptus tree fiber, our Tree material is breathable and silky-smooth, complete with a cooling effect to keep things breezy. It's naturally-derived and renewable, too, meaning it's much friendlier to the environment than traditional shoe stuff.
Breeze in, breeze out
With a silky-smooth feel and pleasing cooling effect, our tree upper's proprietary mesh knit textile delivers breathability and unrivaled comfort. Fun fact: it's made from responsibly grown and sustainably harvested eucalyptus pulp.
Walk on a cloud
We line our insoles with our proprietary merino wool fabric for softness, moisture wicking, and odor reduction.
For supreme comfort and cushioning, we use castor bean oil, which also cuts carbon output when compared to petroleum-based foam.
Shop Insoles
Light on your feet
Our proprietary low-density foam helps us make the lightest, most comfortable shoe sole possible, complete with expert cushioning and friction control.
The unique S-curve tread array is designed to mimic the anatomical flexibility of your feet and give you natural weight distribution as you stroll.

Lose weight, get fit: Get your VO2max tested to improve your results
Faster! Stronger! Leaner! Lighter!
Stoney Eskew has heard it all. Elite athletes, people looking to lose weight or maintain weight loss, folks who can't figure out why they're working out like crazy but can't seem to budge that last 5 pounds.
Like some kind of wellness wizard, Eskew, a metabolic expert, personal trainer and weight loss specialist, lugs around a weird-looking machine that can actually help anybody looking to vastly change their fitness levels — all they have to do is strap on a mask connected to a hose and breathe while riding a stationary bike or running on a treadmill.
The data Eskew collects from that transaction, which takes about 30 minutes, will tell her everything she needs to know to recommend specific workouts — including how long, how often and how intense — as well as caloric intake and other nutritional advice that will help shed weight or amp up metabolism.

We are locally dedicated with international scale.
WSP launches its inaugural global cities index based on future preparedness.
The WSP Global Cities Index: A Tale of Our Cities provides insights about how cities are preparing for a future shaped by the major transitions of our day: urbanisation, density and growth, digital disruption, emerging mobility, evolving utilities models and a changing climate.
While most attention is focused on the comparison of cities today – how liveable, competitive or resilient they are – we have turned our lens to the future and explored how cities are identifying and responding to the challenges they will face in the coming two decades, and beyond.
The research, which has been completed by more than 100 technical experts that live and work in the 24 cities that were assessed, goes beyond rankings. It reveals best-practice examples of placemaking, mobility, technology and urban systems, from cities that are primed for the future.
Long-term planning is critical: Copenhagen is an example of a city looking out to the horizon and getting a dividend from prior foresight. The cities with long-term plans (beyond 2035) are Auckland, Seoul, Sydney, Melbourne, Stockholm and London.
Key issues demanding attention: Housing, both the cost and availability, followed by public transport are universal priorities. Climate change is also growing in importance. Even among cities where planning for climate change is not a priority, most have blueprints to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With a few exceptions, all have set a target, ranging from the extremely ambitious to the conservative.
Amenity matters: Investment in more parks and public spaces, street space for pedestrians and bicycles as well as parking provisions are all making cities more liveable.
Future mobility is key: The movement of people and goods is increasingly being shaped by converging technological and social trends including the rapid growth of car and ride sharing, electric cars and, self-driving and autonomous vehicles.
Technology and the built environment are intersecting: The digital transformation of cities is creating smart and engaged communities where data is the new currency. Seattle, Washington DC, Seoul, Stockholm and Calgary lead on the Technology metrics.
Urban systems are transitioning towards sustainability: Power generation and distribution, water treatment and distribution as well as waste management are increasingly important and North American cities are leading the charge.
Our research is intended to help government decision and policy-makers, captains of industry, financiers, academia and other professionals be future-focused by leveraging the best-practice policies and initiatives that are being deployed around the world.

- Marquee Matchup: Patriots vs. Broncos
Hello folks,
Sports Central is all about sports. But what really constitutes a sport? With recent television coverage of poker, billiards, etc., the field of sports seems to be rapidly expanding. Somewhere, a line has to be drawn, and one lighthearted criteria has to be that if you can drink *beer* while playing it, it is definitely *not* a sport (sorry, poker)! Read on for Brad's take on what really is a sport ... a surprising and enlightening read in this month's O-Files.
Finally, Mike sets The Boss of the Evil Empire himself, George Steinbrenner, straight in the Feature Article. Looking at the Yankees' failure to win another World Series with a sky-high payroll and hefty expectations, Mike exclaims, "If Steinbrenner wants to find the reason for his "failure," he needs only to look in one of his numerous mirrors and fire himself." Ouch. But the truth hurts.
Yours digitally,

"A Sports Manifesto"
By Brad Oremland
October is the greatest month of the year for North American sports fans. It's the heart of football season, the World Series, and the beginning of the regular seasons in the NBA and NHL. Even MLS is in full-swing.
Rather than celebrating any of those, however, this month's O-Files is devoted to bashing just about everything else.
ESPN and the Olympics have contrived to bring us dozens of activities masquerading as sports. Synchronized swimming. Ballroom dancing. Even poker! If you can drink beer while you play, your activity -- unless it's rugby -- is not a sport.
For some reason, everyone wants to classify their activities as sports now. Poker is a competition, sure, but to most of us, sports imply some sort of physical work. Poker is a card game. Chess is a board game. Not all games are sports.
Ballroom dancing is a demanding physical activity that requires an enormous amount of talent and practice. But it isn't a sport, either. The competition is forced. In football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and soccer, anyone watching knows who won. Races -- sprints, marathons, you name it -- have a clear winner. If you need judges from seven countries to vote on who won, your activity is not a sport.
Even though some kinds of racing -- running, swimming, cycling, skating, skiing -- are sports, others are not. Horse racing, for one. Sure, the horse does a lot of work, and I guess I would consider it a sport from the horse's point of view. But I don't really consider a jockey to be an athlete, and I certainly don't think the owner and trainer are athletes.
Auto racing? There are those who claim that drivers are under enormous physical strain, but until they have to start working out, they aren't athletes, and their competition isn't a sport.
Sports require serious physical exertion. A midfielder in soccer has physical skills and endurance that would make a bowler look like his ball. A professional basketball player puts in a lot more physical work than a golfer. I mean, CEOs don't hit the court on their day off to relax, then go have drinks at the Third Basket.
Leisure activities -- golf, bowling, fishing -- are middling sports at best. I've written about golf in this column before, so I guess I must consider it a sport, but it's a lot like mini-golf, and I'm pretty sure that's not a sport. Bowling bears a suspicious resemblance to skee ball.
Billiards is tough, and playing well consistently is difficult and impressive, but this goes back to the beer thing. An out-of-shape chain-smoker paralyzed from the waist down could be a terrific pool player, but not an athlete. Same with darts. If you play in a bar, it's just a competition. Like foosball. Or drinking contests -- sure, they take enormous physical stamina and probably some practice, but consuming alcohol definitely does not qualify as a sport.
So what makes a sport? Well, heavy physical exertion, for one. And real competition, preferably with a clear winner based on scoring more points or finishing first. There are some exceptions I would consider: boxing, maybe gymnastics or figure skating, and -- especially -- wrestling; if the ancient Greeks did it, it's a sport. Common sense can be used to eliminate some activities that fit this criteria, such as competitive eating. Incidentally, if I ever start a band, I am going to call it "Competitive Eating," and if you steal the name, I will hunt you down (hunting is not a sport).
None of this should be taken as a slam at anything. I love poker and darts, I think watching auto racing can be fun, and I don't have anything against skee ball. But I hate the idea that cheerleading or fishing is a sport. I want more track and field, more judo, more triathlon (now there's a sport -- three, in fact). Keep the Olympics sacred. Keep ESPN fast-paced.
As a sports fan, October has left me as happy as a clam, but there's a long winter of curling and ice dancing ahead, and it's going to take more than a few games of pool and darts to get us through. Happy November.

A look back at the new articles from the week of 10/27/03 - 11/02/03:
NFL: Football's best worst team
By Gary Geffen
After a bubble-busting thrashing by Tampa Bay, the Cowboys seem to be asking themselves the same questions as last year. Do they have a quarterback and running back? SC's Gary Geffen explains why Bills Parcells Cowboys are making a case for being football's best worst team.
NHL: What happened to that goalie?
By Vishal Patel
Put an eye on the stat-sheet for goaltenders after the first two weeks of the season none of the big names from a year ago are there. Not even the names you've been used to hearing the past couple years. SC's Vishal Patel takes a deeper look at this year's early goaltending surprises.
COLUMN: "JQ": Major league mythmaking
By Greg Wyshynski
As the afterglow of an exciting and popular baseball postseason begins to fade, SC's Greg Wyshynski reveals that the news actually wasn't so good. That, plus Darrell Russell joins the Redskins, new NBA and NHL uniforms, Viagra, and the Steve Bartman costume ... all in the "JQ."
NBA: The memoirs of NBA Opening Night
By Danny Sternfield
It's been so long. After a tumultuous offseason, the NBA is back. It's Opening Night. Spurs vs. Suns. Lakers vs. Mavericks. Shaq vs. Kobe. Oh, and the Heat play the 76ers (as if anyone cares). It's time to settle in with SC's Danny Sternfield as he recalls a night of hoops.
MLB: Dispelling the Yankee rumors
By Marco Santana
The New York Yankees fell just one step short of taking yet another title. The Marlins stopped them. But the Big Boss's reaction to the loss has sparked many rumors that could negatively affect "Public Enemy Number 1," according to many fans, says SC's Marco Santana.
TENNIS: "Hitters and missers" of 2003
By Mert Ertunga
There were many hits and misses during 2003 in the tennis world. For some players, it was memorable, for others, it was forgettable. From Gustavo Kuerten to Venus Williams, SC's Mert Ertunga picks the hitters and missers of 2003.
NFL: NFL Week 8 power rankings
By Brad Oremland
The Week 8 power rankings from SC's Brad Oremland have everything you've come to expect -- rankings and analysis for every team in the NFL -- but this week, Five Quick Hits focuses especially on television coverage. Check it for all that, plus thoughts on Donovan McNabb, Chad Pennington, and the undefeated Chiefs.
MLB: The story of the miracle Marlins
By Joe Kaiser
Against all odds, the Florida Marlins stole the hearts of baseball fans in each corner of America as they marched their way to the World Series Championship. Nobody saw it coming. Few yet believe it did. It was the perfect end to the best October in recent memory.
"Win George Steinbrenner's Money"
By Mike Round
After all the excitement of the ALCS, the World Series caught the New York Yankees in a prolonged hangover. The upstart Marlins, $50 million payroll and all, small-balled their way to earn the right to sell their WS rings on eBay. The Boss went into one of his temper tantrums, fired the cloakroom girl and hitting coach Rick Down and vowed to make changes. But whose fault is it that the Evil Empire has gone a whole three seasons without winning it all?
It can't be much fun being George Steinbrenner. Okay, there's the money in the bank account, the fact that you own the world's most famous sports team, and the supreme power you hold in your empire. But the drawbacks are immense. There's the fear of failure and humiliation, led by the overriding, all consuming fear that one day the hated Boston Red Sox will stop shooting themselves in the foot and become competent. There's the fear that the rest of baseball will stop being scared of you and use their collective imaginations to beat you. There's the fear that one day you won't be able to find a decent navy blue blazer and white roll-neck in any reputable men's tailors.
The first fear is pretty safe for the next few years, so quit worrying, George. After all, the Sox have just fired the only manager in recent memory capable of uniting a whining, selfish clubhouse. Plus, they have an injury-prone ace with a dubious attitude and a slugger with an even worse one on a contract that's so ridiculous even Tom Hicks wouldn't agree to it.
Scarily for The Boss, the second fear is a reality. No one who matters is scared of New York and hasn't been since the Angels dispatched them from the 2002 playoffs. The $183 million payroll might make the media groan that baseball is a one-team sport, but no one inside the game is buying it. The 2003 New York Yankees are a collection of pseudo all-stars with no heart and no stomach for a battle.
Steinbrenner likes to apportion blame when he doesn't get his way with the world. The Yankees couldn't hit with runners in scoring position against Florida, so out went Rick Down. I checked the numbers for the series and Rick Down went 0-for-0 at the plate. Aaron Boone went a mighty 3-for-21, Jorge "AL MVP Candidate" Posada went 3-for-19, and Jason "You Throw 'Em, I Slug 'Em" Giambi went 4-for-17. All three of those guys are veterans who know how to hit without Rick Down's input. They failed, not Down.
So if it's not Down's fault, then who can Steinbrenner blame? How about GM Brian Cashman? Giambi, Boone, almost the entire bullpen, and hapless starter Jeff Weaver have come to town under his watch.
Cashman is a difficult evaluation. His reputation has suffered this season, with cause on the face of things, but increasingly, he merely looks like Steinbrenners' lap dog. The Boone trade looks more and more like a Steinbrenner panic move, designed solely to stop Boston getting Freddy Garcia from Seattle with Boone apparently slated to move to the Pacific Northwest via Boston to play ball with his brother, Bret.
Boone represents a minuscule batting upgrade, at best, from Robin Ventura. Boone played 160 games this season, hitting 24 homeruns with 96 RBIs and batting .267. Last season, Ventura played 141 games, hit 27 homers and had 93 RBIs with a 247 average. Even allowing for Ventura being in decline, it's hardly a huge upgrade, without factoring in Boone's panicky glove.
Boone is arbitration eligible and will cost about $6 million a year to bring back. Cashman should be recommending he be cut loose but, given that the team gave up super-prospect LHP Brandon Claussen to get him, that's unlikely and Steinbrenner has shown before he's prepared to carry overpaid underachievers on the roster.
The Jeff Weaver (owed a whopping $15 million over the next two years) trade looks even worse and was another get-him-or-Boston-will deal. Weaver is 51-63 lifetime with a distinctly average 4.59 ERA and has never had a winning season. Opponents bat .274 against him. He has a dubious temperament and reacts badly to pressure. I admit it, I was a Weaver fan when he was in Detroit and his last full season there was full of promise, despite his team playing at AA ball standard. What I didn't like about it was the fact that the Yankees gave up Ted Lilly, another precious LHP.
Lilly has blossomed into a genuine number three starter in a strong Oakland rotation, which is exactly what he should have been in New York. Rick Peterson has straightened out some of Lilly's delivery issues and he looks a different pitcher than the guy Mel Stottlemyre gave up on. Add in Weaver's collapse, the struggles of New York's "bullpen by elimination," and Stottlemyre's resume doesn't look so good. It's easy to coach Andy Pettitte, Roger Clemens, Mike Mussina, and Mariano Rivera, guys who basically coach themselves. The test of a good pitching coach is the borderline guys and how they respond. Stottlemyre is mulling retirement over. If he doesn't go, he should be pushed.
Joe Torre, after a season of vicious in fighting with the owner and his Tampa-based yes-men, looks safe, and rightly so. Torre didn't have a good series, but his achievements since 1996 allow him a mulligan. His decision to send Weaver in for the 11th and 12th in Game 4, after 27 days of rust -- sorry, rest -- was justified by the mind-numbingly stupid explanation that, "I wanted a guy in there capable of going five innings."
Given that Weaver's ERA was around 6 and he was pitching the bottom of the inning, the chances of him going that long without giving up a run was as likely as Arafat being on the Bush family's Christmas card list. Torre seemed to think he could afford to lose Game 4 and still win the series behind David Wells, Pettitte, and Mussina. As it turned out, he lost the next two games and the series.
If Steinbrenner wants to find the reason for his "failure," he needs only to look in one of his numerous mirrors and fire himself. His trades and free-agency moves since 2000 (and make no mistake, they are all his decisions) have decimated what was the best situational hitting team in baseball. That record setting '98 team had holes in it, for sure. They could never settle on a third outfielder to compliment Bernie Williams and Paul O'Neill and Chuck Knoblauch at second was, well, Chucky. But that team had guts and nerve in the clutch. Scott Brosius and Tino Martinez weren't "number-hangers" or hyped by the media like Jason Giambi and Aaron Boone, but both of them came up with crucial plays when it mattered.
Steinbrenner's intimidation culture and constant humiliation of the coaching staff has been a major distraction. There's no doubt that he resents both the way Torre has been credited for the post-1996 success and the affection the fans have for the manager. In part, this explains the owner's acquisitions of Mussina, Giambi, Weaver, and Boone; his guys and his acclaim when they succeed, though someone else's blunder when they fail.
The whole Tampa operation, with its staff of faceless, talentless mediocrities, exists solely to annoy the New York coaching staff and Torre in particular. In the ideal Steinbrenner world, Torre quits in the offseason and comes back next April to see his number retired before he goes fishing. Then he can introduce Bobby Valentine to the Bronx. The sole reason Torre hasn't been fired is that Steinbrenner is scared to death that Boston would immediately hire him and The Boss would have to face the wrath of the fans.
So how does George Steinbrenner approach the winter? Firstly, he'll be urged to re-sign Andy Pettitte at whatever cost. Good move, as Pettitte has long been the anchor of the rotation. Next, he'll look to sign a marquee free-agent to energize the fans and the organization. If it's Vladimir Guerrero, Kevin Millwood, Kaz Matsui, or Mike Lowell, good move, though Lowell returning would be tantamount to Steinbrenner admitting a past mistake, so that is unlikely. If it's 36-year-old Gary Sheffield at $12 million a year, bad move. Sheffield is more of the same, a number-hanger who chokes in the postseason.
The Yankees need to return to the values of 1998. Patience at the plate, pitching, solid glove work, and waiting on your opportunities before pouncing, and here the impetus for change lies with Torre. If Alfonso Soriano, Giambi, and Boone can't adapt to that philosophy, then move them out for players that fit, though moving Giambi's contract looks next to impossible. Homers might make Sports Center, but they don't put rings on your fingers by themselves, as the Braves will testify.
One thing is for sure -- the Bronx soap opera goes on.

New England Patriots 20 (+2), DENVER Broncos 3
Monday, Nov. 3rd, 9 PM EST; Invesco Field; Denver, CO; TV: ABC
Apparently, Mike Shanahan has no plans to sign either Jeff George or Rob Johnson, so Danny Kanell, a proven NFL failure, gets the start once again. After struggling somewhat despite winning the Super Bowl two years ago and struggling even more last season, Bill Belichick's defense is off to an excellent start against the run in 2003, giving up less than 90 yards per game on the ground and not allowing any individual runner to record a 100-yard game all year. Imagine how tough they'll be here, shoving eight in the box on most downs, the idea being to stuff Clinton Portis and make Kanell beat them.
On offense, Tom Brady will be seeking to avenge a four-interception outing in his last visit to Invesco Field two years ago, and has a good shot to do it as his receivers are averaging better than a full yard more per completion than last year's figure. "Lawyergate" and the 31-0 opening-day loss at Buffalo that followed now seem like an antediluvian memory in New England, and the Broncos appear destined to fall four games behind idle Kansas City (in the loss column) in the AFC West.
* Home team is capitalized.

This stone stands just 30m northeast of a court tomb (see Ballymakellett (County Louth)). The shape of the stone is not very standing-sone-ish and I think it is more likely to be a relocated court stone from the above-mentioned monument.
The stone is 1.4m tall and about the same wide. The top edge is curved with an odd little point at one end.
Court tombs have several distinctive characteristics that allow easy identification when in fair condition. One key feature that is a great help, no matter what the condition, is that court tombs are nearly always aligned north to south. They were all originally covered by a cairn, but in most instances this is now missing, or at best only remain to a height of one or two metres. The easiest feature to identify (when intact) is obviously the court. The rest of the tomb is occupied by a long, divided, passage-like gallery.
Galleries of court tombs can usually be identified by their characteristic boat-shaped plan, i.e. the gallery, when viewed from above, is flat at the entrance and tapers to a point or narrow width at the rear. The gallery may be segmented into up to five chambers by jambs, the walls normally being made of large slabs. The roofs were created by laying large slabs across the gallery, either directly on to the tops of the wall slabs or resting on corbel stones. Two large stones, with smooth forward-facing faces, usually create the entrance and it is possible to identify a court tomb when only these stones remain. The gallery would have been covered by a cairn of stones, sometimes with a kerb.
Single Gallery Variations:
Most often called a 'Single Court Tombs, usually this style has a half-court, a horseshoe-shaped arrangement of stones in front of the gallery (see Ballymacdermot (County Armagh)). This is usually, but not always, symmetrical about the centre line of the gallery, although occasionally the centre line of the court forms a slight angle with the centre line of the gallery. The other option is a full-court formed a complete circle of stones (see Creevykeel (County Sligo)). These full-courts mainly have one entrance allowing access, which is usually opposite the entrance to the gallery.
Double Gallery Variations:
Double-gallery court tombs come in three styles, the last of which is very unusual. The first is where the chambers are built facing away from each other. These are usually referred to as ëDouble Court Tombsí (see Cohaw (County Cavan)). The galleries sometimes share the same rear stone, but more often there is some distance between them ń ranging from one to ten metres. This style has a half-court at each end of the monument, one facing north and the other facing south. In this style both galleries would have been covered by the same cairn.
Tuning round the two tombs and placing the two galleries so that the entrances face each other, across a full court, creates another style, known as a Centre-Court Tomb. Access to this court is gained through entrances placed (usually) in the east and west sides of the court. Here there would have been two cairns, one at each end, but they would have been joined down the sides of the court by a low cairn.
The third and very uncommon form is where the two galleries are located side-by-side facing into a full court with an entrance opposite (e.g. Malin More).
Subsidiary Chambers:
Quite often you will find other chambers built into the cairn. In single-gallery tombs and double court tombs these are invariably located to the rear of the gallery. Centre court tombs often have them placed near to the entrances.
This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide.
Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate.
Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies.
The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out.
UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system.
ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps.

We are live at the Hammerstein Ballroom for Ring of Honor Best in the World 2011! There were less than 300 tickets left this morning, so it appears the company will end up with a sellout as there is a HUGE walk-up.
Announcing for the PPV tonight will be handled by Kevin Kelly and Eric Santamaria. They entered the ring and did a live pre-game show inside the ring.
Kelly and Santamaria previewed the main event and introduced ROH champion Eddie Edwards, who came to the ring. Kelly said it was the biggest match in his career and the first time that the champion has ever challenged the challenger and asked for his thoughts. Edwards said that he challenged Davey Richards not because he disliked Richards or has a problem with Davey, but one with himself. He said that he asks himself if he deserves the championship and whether he's better than Richards. He said that at an event titled "Best in the World" they are going to leave it all in the ring and find out who the better man is. Edwards said that ROH is going to show everyone why they, the company, are the best in the the world tonight.
Generation Me vs. Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reily
Generation Me got a huge "welcome back" chant from the NYC faithful, followed by a louder "F*** TNA" chant.
O'Reily and Jeremy started out. O'Reily nailed him with some offense. Cole and Kyle double teamed Jeremy with some hot, fast attraction. Jeremy ended up on the outside and O'Riley went for a running dive off the apron but Max grabbed his leg. He kicked off Max and Cole hit a dive to the outside on Max. O'Riley then hit a running dropkick off the apron on Jeremy. Huge "ROH" chant.
The former Bucks took over and hit a dive on Cole. They took turns working over Cole, tagging in and out. Jeremy stomped away at Cole and cinched in an armbar. He brought Cole over to the corner and Max came off with a double stomp to the arm, screaming "Yoshino" as he did it.
Gen Me continued double teaming Cole as O'Riley rallied the crowd for his partner. Cole nailed a jawbreaker and made the hot tag. O'Riley nailed a kick to Jeremy sending him to the floor. He nailed both Bucks with a series of kicks and nailed a double Dragon Screw legwhip on both at the same time. He then nailed a missile dropkick on Max for a two count. The crowd chanted, "This is awesome."
O'Riley nailed a series of butterfly supleses. Cole hit a German on Max for a two count. Max backdropped Cole to the floor and hit a twisting springboard Ace Crusher on O'Riley for a two count. He tried to nail a sunset flip bomb on Cole who fought it but was nailed by Jeremy and finally Max hit it. The Bucks nailed O'Riley and Max hit a 450 splash for a two count.
Max accidentally nailed his brother on a charge. O'Riley drilled him with a kick. He nailed a tornado DDT. Cole superkicked Max as he was picked up for a suplex. Cole and O'Riley sunk in stereo guillotine chokes but before anyone could tap, the Bravado Brothers.
Winners by DQ, Generation Me!
The other teams dispatched the Bravados. The crowd chanted, "Let them fight" but it was not to be. They all shook hands and showed respect to each other. The crowd applauded but you could hear some people yelling, "Bullsh**" as well.
Dave Prazak is now at ringside, so he is doing announcing tonight after all.
Jim Cornette and Cary Silkin came to ringside to a big pop. Cornette joined the announcing team in the ring.
The PPV opened with all three in the ring. Kelly welcomed everyone. Cornette said that for everyone in the Hammerstein Ballroom for being the biggest crowd in ROH history. He said that it's not only the biggest crowd in company history but the early indications are that today's PPV is the most watched company event in history.
Cornette said that thanks to all the support of the fans around the world, today is a new era for ROH. He said that for everyone that thinks pro wrestling is dead and it's all sports-entertainment now, he has a message for them and that's, "kiss my bit fat white butt."
Cornette asked the crowd if they were ready to see the ROH wrestlers set the ring on fire and said let's get to it.
Colt Cabana vs. Tommaso Ciampa (with Prince Nana, RE Barrister andErnesto Osiris)
No Princess Mia Yim.
They locked up and Cabana got the better of the early exchange. Ciampa grabbed an arm but Cabana reversed it and maneuvered him into an elbow to the mush. Cabana played games with Ciampa's head and rolled him up for a two count. Cabana began working over his leg but was kicked in the head.
Cabana continued to thwart Ciampa's offense until turning his attention to Nana and Osiris, kicking at them. That allowed Ciampa to nail a flap jack, hanging Cabana on the ropes and nailing him with a dropkick.
Ciampa worked over Cabana, including stomping him hard in the corner. He nailed a running knee to Cabana's face for a two count. Ciampa drilled him with a right hand and slammed him facefirst into the turnbuckles. Ciampa snapmared Cabana over and cinched in a side chinlock.
Cabana fought his way out and nailed a series of rights. He went for a quebrada but Ciampa saw it coming and pulled his knees up. Cabana kicked him off from a charge. He Hotshotted him into the turnbuckles. Cabana nailed a series of rights and did some clubbering.
Cabana nailed the Butt Butt on Ciampa and went to whip him into the corner. Ciampa reversed and sent Cabana into the corner. He positioned Cabana on the second rope and nailed a bridging German suplex for a two count.
Cabana tried to go for the Billy Goat's Curse but Ciampa grabbed the ropes. Cabana went for the Flying A****le but Ciampa kicked him. He nailed his finisher, the powerbomb over the knees and it didn't look smooth but did the job.
Your winner, Tommaso Ciampa!
Decent opener. I liked it.
Mike Bennett (with Brutal Bob Evans) vs. Jay Lethal
Lethal got a huge welcoming committee as the ring was showered with streamers. He looked surprised by that. Big "welcome back" chant followed by a "F**k TNA" chant followed by a "F*** Hulk Hogan" chant.
The crowd then began chanting, "Randy Savage." Lethal did the Savage finger twirl.
They locked up and Bennet forced Lethal into the corner. He gave a clean break in a condenscending way and laughed at Lethal. They locked up again and Bennett grabbed an arm. He again did the clean break, mocking Lethal.
Lethal shoulderblocked him down, evaded a leapfrog and nailed a hard chop. Lethal nailed the cartwheel into the dropkick and covered Bennett for a two count. The crows chanted for Lethal as he chopped away at Bennett in the corner.
He whipped Bennett into the corner but was lifted up and over. Lethal came back into the ring with a leaping rana that sent Bennett to the outside, then followed up with a great suicide dive.
Bennett kicked off Lethal as he returned to the ring. Evans grabbed him and nailed a sideslam on the apron. Bennett worked over Lethal on the floor and posed, mocking him. Bennett tossed Lethal back into the ring for a two count.
Bennett continued to work over Lethal with chops and headbutts. Lethal fired back but was kicked in the gut. Bennett nailed a nice vertical suplex for another two count. Bennett used a surfboard to try and force a submission but Lethal forced his way to his feet and out of the move. Bennett maneuvered him back into it and twisted Lethal's back.
Lethal elbowed his way out but Bennett drilled him. Lethal escaped a charge in the corner and unloaded with a series of hot moves, including a springboard handspring elbow. Lethal went to the middle rope and nailed a leaping leg lariat for a two count. Lethal went to the top rope but Evans distracted him. Lethal nailed him but Bennett drilled Lethal and superplexed him into the ring for a two count.
Bennett went to the top rope but missed an elbow. Lethal nailed a superkick and went to the top for the flying elbow, scoring the pin.
Your winner, Jay Lethal!
Very good back and forth match. This may have been the best Bennett has looked to date in ROH. Lethal's homecoming was a great one.
Lethal led a huge "Macho Man" chant before heading out.

Another smashing guest post by Talia – find her first on here and why not peruse her blogs Teafull and The Gibson Girl's Guide to Glamour?
This was another of my inherited cookbooks — Cooking For One by the team at Better Homes and Gardens.
My grandmother lived on her own from about 1985 when my grandfather died, till around 2010 when some cousins of mine came to dwell in her basement due to financial troubles. Not long after this, she needed professional nurses to come help as her health wasn't keeping up with her. Family always lived nearby, but she seemed to like being independent; and I can imagine she probably used this cookbook a lot, since dining solo would have been her standard way of life.
This book came extra handy to me on a recent 3 week stay in Scotland. Due to the length of the trip, I made sure I was dwelling in a place with a kitchen so I could cook at "home." Many inspirations came from this little work. See, while it includes plenty of actual recipes, it also has lots of general suggestions for easy things to eat alone. (Including perhaps some things you wouldn't *want* anyone else to know you're eating… there's a few suggestions that amount to the kind of thing you eat when you're trying to use up leftovers but you really don't want to boast you've been feeding off of. Example: mushrooms in white sauce as a meal.)
Some suggestions include egg in a basket, croissant sandwiches, an ingredient heavy but still single-serving salad niçoise, the questionable sounding (but probably fashionable today) bacon and peanut butter tostada, and more.
There is one section on how to make (approximate) single-servings of various sauces, and this was one area I gave a try. I made some Basic White Sauce, which then with a few additions becomes Watercress Sauce. Here are both recipes:
Basic White Sauce
1 tbs butter or margarine
1 tbs all-purpose flour
dash salt
dash pepper
1 cup milk
In a small heavy saucepan, melt the margarine or butter. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper till blended. Add milk all at once, Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture is thickened and bubbly, then cook and stir for 1 minute more. To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Makes about 1 cup.
Watercress sauce
Using 1/4 cup Basic White Sauce, stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh watercress, 1/4 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard, and dash ground nutmeg.
I used the finished Watercress Sauce mixed with some canned tuna and some bacon, to make a pretty good little tuna salad. To do it this way, add the whole recipe of watercress sauce to 1 standard sized can of tuna and about 2 strips of bacon, finely crumbled or diced, and mix it all up well. Eat it on crackers or bread or a potato or whatever.
An interesting thing about this little watercress tuna salad recipe, was it ended up being a great lesson to me in how the quality of your ingredients really effect the flavor of your food. See, I made a batch of this one time in Scotland, and one time after I returned home to the US. US has crappy food; it's all bred to be large, and hold up well to transportation, and to not taste like anything (I assume intentionally for the sake of consistency season to season.) Consequently, the white sauce made with Anchor butter and Scotmid watercress was way tastier than the stuff I had to use in the US. You can also get BRINED tuna in the UK which you pretty much cannot find in the US, so the fish tastes a lot better since it's been salted through; adding more salt to the recipe just doesn't get the same result.
All in all it is a pretty fun little cookbook, I hope I'll get to try some more of the recipes in the future.

I am a 22 yr old 1st time business owner, I am a qualified electrician and am trying to create a consistant brand image throughout all areas of my electrical contracting biz. Most Contractors in my field have crap logos, like light bulbs or extenstion leads in the shape of letters (BORING)!
We are based on the Gold coast in Qld Aust, (surf culture capital) thust the Ocean Electrical biz name. I love to surf and love the surf culture. I would like to have a logo and company name font that surf shops would buy, but it needs to be corporately respectable as I want my company to been seen as a professional service company. To give you an Idea of what I'm looking for I would steal the OceanEarth surf brand logo and font if I could. as seen at oceanearth.com
We service all the electrical needs of the Industrial Comercial domestic and marine industries.
This logo along with the company name Ocean Electrical Contracting Pty Ltd will be used on a vinyl car wrap, Invoice & quote headers, email signature, website, shirts etc. I want a logo and text font thats so stylish that people want to buy the merchandise.
