The .high winds 'whipped up the waters to such an extent that high tide about JO A.M., figures showed a record established in 1932 had been beaten by 2 inches. It exceed-ed by far the situation created by the hurricane of Septmbr 1938. -Conditions became so serious that a special meeting of the Village Board was called early in the mom-ing and a state of emergency de-clared so the Red dross and.<3ivil Defense organizations might be called in to assist the village depart-ments in meeting the emergency. Water Front, Inundated .. The high tide inundated the en-tire waterfront from the Freeport Bay Estates to Meister Beach, neces-sitating the evacuation of approxi-mately 600 persons and causing property damage estimated at close to $500,000.

Top 20 NFL free agents
I put together a list of the NFL's top 20 unrestricted free agents. Maybe it was a waste of time. It'd be interesting to see a few of these guys play for the Chargers, but unless Roger Goodell grants the Bolts a cap exception for our spectacular climate, it's likely not happening. The Chargers probably will check on a few guys on this list, notably guard Andy Levitre. We'll see what comes of it. Twenty isn't a big number. The Chargers will look at dozens of other free agents, including several blockers and defensive backs. The swap meet will be open for several months.
You'll note that four right tackles cracked this list. Just a hunch, but if the Chargers don't sign any of them, I think the ever-vocal Jeromey Clary Fan Club will weigh in.
1 – Mike Wallace, wide receiver
Age: 26
Six-foot, 200-pounder can run by any defender. Has 32 TDs and 17.2-yard catch average in four seasons. A high-risk, high-reward, high-maintenance player who faded after Steelers withheld fat offer. Dolphins look like a match.
Chargers?: They have greater needs elsewhere.
2 – Cliff Avril, defensive end
Age: 26.
Long-armed worker (6-3, 265) gets upfield or powers inside. Had 20.5 sacks in last 32 games with Lions. Is much stronger than when he was drafted (third round, 2008, Purdue). Lions rotated eight linemen in 4-3 defense, aiding his legs.
Chargers?: Their 3-4 isn't a fit; could suit Browns' hybrid 3-4.
3 – Andre Smith, right tackle
Age: 26
Is happy Bengals gave franchise tag to end Michael Johnson. Light feet, long arms and huge frame (6-4, 340) make ex-Bama left tackle a top five right tackle—when fit and focused. Fourth-year player is coming off first strong season. Has gained too much weight in years past.
Chargers?: Would be their best blocker.
4 -- Sebastian Vollmer, right tackle
Age: 28.
Consistent protector for Tom Brady. Twice named second-team All-Pro, the German-born Vollmer (6-8, 315) began his college career (Houston) as a tight end. Started 15 games last year. Was limited to five starts in '11 by back injury.
Chargers?: May have to overpay to get him from Pats.
5 – Greg Jennings, wide receiver
Age: 29
Beset by injuries, played in just 18 games the last two seasons. Looked less brave than in glory years. A true No. 1, though, who can nail all the routes. Was a playmaking star for Super Bowl-winning Packers three years ago. May entice the Texans.
Chargers?: Too risky and too expensive for them.
6 – Dannell Ellerbe, linebacker
Age: 27
Went undrafted out of Georgia. In time, the Ravens, reclamation masters, developed him into a 3-4 inside starter who helped them win the recent Super Bowl. Reaching Colin Kaepernick 1.6 seconds after the snap, Ellerbee (6-1, 236) influenced the controversial pass to Michael Crabtree.
Chargers?: Tough get; the Ravens view him as Ray Lewis' successor.
7 – Wes Welker, slot receiver
Age: 31
The NFL's top pass-catcher (672) over the last six years, he may be more valuable to the Patriots than any other team because of fit with their system and Tom Brady. Gets open at will but has taken a high number of brutal hits, and drops are on the rise.

One of the first main reasons for putting sculptures on display was for religious purposes. People sculpted figures that were representations of what they took to be sacred and those statues were cared for and shown in temples, grottos, and other sacred sites. In modern times, many of us continue this tradition by putting a statue of a stone garden angel or two in the backyard, or putting Christian-themed sculptures or a statue of a large Buddha on display. No matter which type of religious statue is used, we hope to showcase sculptures that inspire peace, goodwill, spirituality, and encourage us to be better people. For these reasons, the best religious statues tend to be ones that evoke emotions with a combination of drama and beauty.
The lovely Basking in God's Glory Little Girl Statue showcases those factors with sincere, simple beauty. With arms spread wide and a look of joy on her face, the young girl in this sculpture shows the type of happiness that many of us strive to feel. The little birds on her arms add a cute final touch to this wonderful sculpture.
The Ascension: Grande Scale Christ Sculpture is another dramatic statue that showcases Jesus Christ rising from the cross before ascending to heaven. Buy this statue for inspiration in a beautiful, Christian-themed garden.

Final Score: Chicago 51, Tennessee 20
Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Brandon Marshall hauled in nine passes for
122 yards and three touchdowns and the Chicago Bears defense forced five
turnovers en route to a 51-20 drubbing of the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
Charles Tillman had nine tackles and forced four fumbles and Matt Forte rushed
for 103 yards and a touchdown. Jay Cutler was 19-for-26 through the air for
229 yards and three touchdowns for the Bears (7-1), who haven't lost since a
Week 2 setback in Green Bay.
Brian Urlacher returned an interception for a touchdown in the win.
"The way they're (the defense) stopping the ball, creating turnovers -- picks
and fumbles -- is great. It starts with the front four. They put so much
pressure on the quarterback," Cutler said.
Chris Johnson rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, but lost two
fumbles, and Nate Washington had two catches for 35 yards and a score for the
Titans (3-6), who will travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins next week.
Matt Hasselbeck, who has started the last five games in place of an injured
Jake Locker, completed 20-of-35 passes for 194 yards, a touchdown and an
interception in the loss.
"That was embarrassing. No matter how you slice it or dice it. You can't say
anything was good or pretty for us in that game," Titans cornerback Alterraun
Verner said.
Tennessee's first play from scrimmage was an early indication of how things
would go on Sunday. Hasselbeck completed a 23-yard pass to Kenny Britt, but
Tillman immediately forced a fumble.
The teams wound up trading punts for most of the first quarter and Tennessee's
second punt ended in disaster when Sherrick McManis blocked Brett Kern's
attempt. Corey Wootton picked up the ball for Chicago and returned it five
yards to go up 7-0.
"It was fun from the very first play of the game. The early punt block set the
tone for us," Bears defensive end Julius Peppers said.
Tennessee was forced to punt again soon after, but pinned the Bears inside
their own 10-yard line. Following a false start penalty on 2nd-and-10,
J'Marcus Webb was flagged in the end zone for illegal use of hands resulting
in a Tennessee safety.
Chicago forced another three-and-out on the ensuing series, and Devin Hester
returned the punt 44 yards to the Titans' eight. Forte wasted no time and
carved his way into the end zone on the next play.
Urlacher then picked off Hasselbeck on the second play of Tennessee's next
possession and returned it 46 yards to the end zone to give Chicago a 21-2
Johnson fumbled on Tennessee's next play and the Bears took over on the
Titans' 16. Three plays later, Cutler hooked up with Marshall on the left side
for a 13-yard score.
Chicago settled for a 40-yard Robbie Gould field goal on its next possession
after Cutler's pass on 3rd-and-5 fell incomplete.
The teams traded fumbles and Rob Bironas split the uprights from 39 yards out
just before the half to make it 31-5.
Tennessee found the end zone on its first touch of the second half when
Hasselbeck lofted it up to Washington for a 30-yard touchdown, but the Bears
answered with a pair of field goals, one from 25 yards and one from 22 yards,
to go up 37-12.
Cutler's 39-yard touchdown pass to Marshall down the right sideline put the
Bears up 44-12 early in the fourth, before the duo hooked up again just over a
minute later for a 5-yard score -- the result of another Tillman forced
Johnson broke an 80-yard touchdown run on the next play from scrimmage to
account for the final margin.
"Today wasn't our day. They outplayed us in all facets of the game," Titans
defensive end Kamerion Wimbley said.
Game Notes
The Bears have returned seven interceptions for touchdowns this season. The
NFL record is nine ... The Bears own a 16-11 interconference record since 2006
... The Titans have dropped two in a row for the third time this season.

Xbox One to include 'follower' system, new gamercardsIt's being reported that Microsoft will take inspiration from Twitter when it comes to finding friends on Xbox One.The system means that users can have for unlimited followers, according to Destructoid although your friend limit will still be locked at 1,000.
Since anyone who is a follower isn't necessarily a friend, we aren't sure what stats they'll be able to see, although Achievements, Challenges and Games Played are likely to be public.
There will also be new high definition gamercards, a sample of which you can see in the picture below.
Check out even more information on the gamercards over at IGN, where they have an Ask Microsoft anything feature, detailing a lot more information on the new gamercards and more.
Xbox One launches in the UK on November 22.

So they can stand out and be better? Really, why do you pick one app over the other at the end of the day? I'd like to think it's because they either do it better than the other app or they do more than the other app. If these free built-in apps stay this way until SP1 or Win9 or w/e doesn't that just leave it open for 3rd party developers to fill in the gaps like they always have?
I also think there is incentive to have a metro version of a desktop app, even a complex one like the stuff adobe makes. At the end of the day it's not the full photoshop client from what I remember hearing so having a "simpler" or "lite" version of beefy desktop apps can only be a good thing. Say a user gets good at the lite version of the app, if they want to really dive into it then offer up the advanced/pro desktop version and you've basically got them hooked.
Are you honestly going to tell me that MetroIE or Music is better? The rest is only confirming my point.
Again, take away the crutch of the desktop version and tell me if that is still acceptable. The point is, until MS shows us if and how complex apps can exist in Metro, there is the same assumption you made, that the Metro Photoshop will be the basic 'essentials' version and Pros will use the desktop. You are still describing a fundamental two app system, so that is an argument for two different OSs - which is not what anyone that is 'pro' Metro should be happy about.

The 49th Annual Renaissance Pleasure Faire and Artisans Market returned its rein over the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area in Irwindale last weekend and will continue its pillage Saturdays and Sundays through May 22.
From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., faire-goers, many dressed in period costumes, are transported to the magically recreated Royal shipyard city of Port Deptford during the reign of Elizabeth I and immersed into the music, language, culture and entertainment of the time.
This is one of my favorite times of the year to let the imagination roam free while taking in some history, even centuries later.
Take in one of the many wonderful shows in the various stages throughout the shire, barter with the vendors for one of their handcrafted treasures, practice your knife throwing or canon ball launch, or just chat up a conversation with the hundreds of performers and characters including Her Majesty herself, pirate Sir Francis Drake and playwright William Shakespeare.
Along with the many adult-rated entertainment, the young ones can also take in the games, rides, crafts, story time and more in the Kid's Kingdom.
If you really want to get delved in the era but didn't come fully prepared, don't fuss as costume rental and purchase opportunities abound in the Faire's Marketplace, as well as more than 100 artisans offering Renaissance and contemporary jewelry, home dcor and original artwork.
Or be a glutton like me and just come for the food and libations. Food vendors offer something for everyone, whether you have a small or large appetite or crave something sweet. A novelty food item is the roasted turkey leg. This iconic meat is huge for first-timers, but beware, if you don't have a big appetite for turkey or at least someone to share with, this monster leg will end up eating you.
After my share of Faire visits, I have some favorite stops. The first bar is popular for those needing their favorite ale, Port or my favorite, mead or honey wine, with a haste. But those prepared know to just keep walking to the next bar stop and the wait is almost half as long.
Once you're appetite is worked up, I like to take on a "Steak-on-a-Stake", which is pretty much grilled beef chunks on a wooden skewer. Simple but tasty. I'm almost certain curly cheese fries were not common in the Renaissance era but in my circle, this is a must side when dining at the faire – cheese devours these warm and crispy ringlets of potatoes.
My new favorite must-have at faire is the tri-tip sandwich with chili. Now don't be fooled like many, this is not chili like at Wienerschnitzel or spicy chili, this is a hearty serving of simmered kidney beans, tomatoes, onions and spices, all to complement the generous offering of tri-tip beef slices on a roll. A fork is accompanied with this dish because trying to eat this sandwich without making a mess is an impossible mission, even with two hands.
As I said, there is something for everyone. Vegetarian entrees and desserts are available.
My teen cousin was a little wary of the fish and chips and quail offerings so opted for a slice of Renaissance pepperoni pizza instead. Kids!
And on those warm spring days, cool down at the shire with a fruit ice. Flavored shaved ice is frozen into its shell – mango, pineapple, coconut – just a few flavors offered. I treated myself to a coconut ice during my visit and love the fresh flavor with coconut pieces.
For a fun tour, adults can purchase $25 tickets to an exclusive and riotous Pub Crawl offered each day of the faire. The crawl features cold spirits, lusty wenches, bawdy songs, drinking games and a guided tour of the shire. The ticket includes one beverage of your choice at each of the five pubs visited in the shire.
Tickets for faire are $25 for adults and $15 for children aged 5-12. Children under age 5 are free. Adult season passes for $130 and a child's season pass for $65 are available. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or online at www.renfair.com.
The Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area is at 15501 Arrow Highway in Irwindale. A vehicle entry fee of $10 is charged by Los Angeles County. For more information, visit www.renfair.com.
