Best Invention; How the Bean Saved Civilization
By Umberto Eco
Published: April 18, 1999
In 1918, at the age of 40, my maternal grandfather was stricken by a form of viral influenza, popularly known as the Spanish flu, which was decimating much of Europe. Within a week, despite the best efforts of three physicians, he died. In 1972, at the age of 40, I was stricken by a serious illness that seemed very similar to la spagnola. Thanks to penicillin, after a week I was up and about. So it is easy to understand why, forgetting about atomic energy, space travel and the computer, I persist in thinking that the most important invention of our century is penicillin (and, more generally, all those drugs that allow people today to reach the age of 80, whereas in the past they might have died at 50 or 60).
It is hard to determine a century's most important technological invention or scientific discovery, not least because our ideas of the date of a given invention are not clear. There are many things that readers would list among the most interesting achievements of this century, when in fact they date from the century before ours: the automobile, for example, and the skyscraper, the subway, the dynamo, the turbine. You can also add the typewriter, the gramophone, the dictaphone, the sewing machine, the refrigerator, as well as canned foods, pasteurized milk, the cigarette lighter (along with the cigarette), the elevator, the washing machine, the eraser, blotting paper, the electric fan, the safety razor, the Murphy bed, the barber's chair, the safety match, the raincoat, the safety pin, carbonated beverages, bicycles with gears and pneumatic tires, the electric tramway, synthetic fibers and great department stores to sell all this stuff, and -- if I may continue -- electric light, the telephone, the telegraph, radio, photography and moving pictures. Furthermore, Mr. Babbage invented a calculating machine that could perform numerous additions in one minute, setting us firmly on the path toward the computer.
When you are dealing with millennia, calculation becomes still more difficult. For the origin of gunpowder and the compass, we have only legends to go by. And even when we can be sure that a certain instrument existed, say, in the 12th century, because it is depicted in a painting of the period, we cannot assert that it did not exist a century earlier. I bring up these problems because I want to deal with some inventions that appeared at the beginning of our millennium, though it is possible that some of them made a shy debut in the last two centuries of the previous millennium without anyone paying them much attention. In any case, these are inventions that changed the last thousand years.
If I were to speak of inventions that unquestionably appeared in the first centuries after the year 1000, my immediate temptation would be to cite the stern-mounted rudder. Take a look at history's most famous comic strip, the Tapestry of Queen Mathilde, known also as the Bayeux Tapestry (after the city where it is preserved). This work gives us a minute-by-minute account of the Norman landing in England, including the Battle of Hastings. You will see that the troops of William the Conqueror arrive in a Viking-type boat, and you can observe that, for a rudder, these ships have a lateral oar, fixed at the stern (actually, these ships had two such oars, one fixed on each side). This is how vessels were steered as late as 1066. But with these lateral rudders, it was impossible to tack, to sail against the wind, offering first one flank, then the other, to the wind's force. Moreover, it was difficult to sail when the sea was rough.
Between the 12th and 13th centuries, however, the modern rudder was developed. Fixed at the ship's stern and hinged, like a door, it moved just below the surface of the water and could be operated by a single man, thanks to a tiller on the deck. As usual, the dates are vague, but something between the hinged rudder and an oar fixed at the stern is found in a bas-relief in Winchester Cathedral; it dates from 1180, barely 100 years after the Bayeux Tapestry.
Why is the rudder so important? Suffice it to say that without this invention, Columbus could not have sailed to America, and the history of the rest of the millennium would have been rather different. I would like, however, to discuss a series of inventions that, rather than characterize this millennium, have enabled us to celebrate its conclusion. Without these inventions, perhaps we would never have been born.
A thousand years ago we were squarely in the middle ages. Of course, ''Middle Ages'' is a scholastic convention. For example, in certain countries -- including Italy -- the term ''Middle Ages'' is employed even when the writer is referring to the time of Dante and Petrarch; in other countries, scholars already speak of these years as the Renaissance. To make things a bit more clear, let us say that there are at least two ''Middle Ages'': one lasting from the fall of the Roman Empire (fifth century A.D.) to the year 999, and the other, beginning in the year 1000 and continuing at least until the 15th century.

NANTICOKE — It's been almost one week since Back Mountain American has seen live-game pitching and felt the pressure of an actual contest.
Well, not much has changed in one week's time.
Will McCrum, Todd Phillips, Frankie Nockley and Jack Lukasavage all hit home runs as BMA scored 10 runs in the first three innings and cruised to an 11-7 victory over District 17 champion Dunmore in the opening game of the Section 5 Major Little League Tournament at Nanticoke Area.
The win vaults Back Mountain into today's winner bracket final to face off with either District 16 champ Nanticoke Area or District 32 champ Archbald.
BMA was coming off a 14-2 victory over Kingston/Forty Fort in the District 31 championship, a game where Back Mountain ripped 13 hits.
Those sticks were still blazing hot one week later, ripping a total of 17 hits.
"It's good to see the kids practicing well. This is a hard-working group," Back Mountain American manager Joe Phillips said. "These kids never get big heads. They just come to work and play hard. Those early runs are certainly important because it gives you a lot of confidence. Hitting is contagious."
No doubt, the long ball changed the complexion of the entire game.
McCrum's two-run shot in the first gave American the early edge.
Todd Phillips matched his teammate with a long ball the ensuing frame that touched the top of the trees in center.
Just like that, Back Mountain already put up four runs against a Dunmore squad that rolled through District 17 play.
Dunmore, which only needed two wins in its three-team elimination bracket, outscored the opposition 49-6 in its four pool games.
"Obviously, this was a big game, but we have been here before. We were pretty relaxed and ready," McCrum said. "The home run was big. It's always important to get those early runs. It helps to calm everyone down."
The big blow came in the third.
Nockley started off the fireworks display with a solo shot and Lukasavage joined in the fun, adding a three-run dinger of his own.
When it was all said and done, Back Mountain put a crooked number, six, on the scoreboard and was off and running toward the winner's bracket final, leading 10-3.
"That was my first home run, so it felt pretty good to round the bases," Lukasavage said. "I knew it had a chance. I hit it right off the barrel. It felt really good. I was so excited."
Justin Finarelli got the victory for BMA, working just three innings. He would be available later in the tournament should his number be called.
In all, Joe Phillips used a total of five pitchers to save most of his rotation for later in the tournament.
"The pitching decisions are tough because you have to roll the dice sometimes with the pitch-count numbers," coach Phillips said. "We are confident in all of our pitchers. We were fortunate. We made some tough decisions, and they worked in our favor."
Dunmore had its golden opportunity to turn the game around in the fourth, but couldn't capitalize.
With bases loaded and no outs, Lucas McGeehan buckled down. He coaxed a long sacrifice fly by Danny Walsh for the first out, and forced Jayden Buckley into a double play to end any threats.
A big chance quickly erased as Back Mountain American kept their five-run lead.
"Right now, it is survive and advance," McCrum said. "You just have to leave it out on the field and play as hard as you could."

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe reports: The Federal Reserve this morning announced a $46.1 billion profit for last year, a record windfall in the central bank's 96-year history. In all, the Fed raked in $52.1 billion in net income, of which $46.1 billion now gets turned over to the Treasury Department. The earnings represent a sizable boost from 2008, when the Fed's net income was $35.5 billion and the transfer to Treasury was $31.7 billion. The jump from 2008 is primarily due to increased earnings on securities holdings as a result of the Fed's response to the economic downturn, the central bank said. In the last year, the Fed has launched a litany of programs to rescue the economy, including buying mortgage securities and government debt. While the Fed could still lose money as a result of their rescue efforts, the central bank's 2009 earnings are a positive sign for their investments thus far. View the Fed's announcement HERE.

Illinois Lawmakers Send Medical Marijuana Bill To Governor
The Illinois Senate has approved a measure to legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes, sending the bill to the governor for his signature.
The bill would be the strictest in the nation. According to The Chicago Tribune:
"The proposal would create a four-year trial program in which doctors could prescribe patients no more than 2.5 ounces of marijuana every two weeks. To qualify, patients must have one of 33 serious or chronic conditions — including cancer, multiple sclerosis or HIV — and an established relationship with a doctor.
Patients would undergo fingerprinting and a criminal background check and would be banned from using marijuana in public and around minors. Patients also could not legally grow marijuana, and they would have to buy it from one of 60 dispensing centers across Illinois. The state would license 22 growers."
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat, has not said whether he will sign the bill into law, but has indicated that he's "open minded" on the issue. Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, a former prosecutor, said she is in favor after meeting with patients, including veterans, The Associated Press reports.
The Senate passed it 35-21. The House approved the same version of the bill in April. You can read it here.
The Tribune says:
"The measure drew strong opposition from the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and the Illinois Sheriffs' Association, which sent a letter to the governor and lawmakers warning the proposal would not stop medical marijuana card holders from driving while under the influence. They suggested blood and urine testing be included in the legislation to allow police to determine whether card holders had marijuana in their system while driving."
If Gov. Quinn signs the bill, Illinois would become the 19th state to approve medical marijuana since California became the first to do so in 1996. The District of Columbia also allows its use. Eleven states, including Illinois, have legislation pending.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2
For all you clone haters, name one Tekken game that didn't have a clone.
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
Tekken 1: Virtually everyone was clone-like with each other since many had the same combos (the dynamics weren't all that large). Even then, P.Jack and Jack-1 if you want to only count separate slots.
Tekken 2: Alex/Roger, Devil/Angel and Kazuya (largely the same moveset). Jack-2/P.Jack and King/Armor King, if you want to just count separate slots.
Tekken 3: Ogre/True Ogre for those who count by character slots. Panda/Kuma. Tiger/Eddy.
Tekken Tag 1: Want me to go there? 3 Jacks, 3 Kazuya-type characters, Michelle and Julia, Tiger/Eddy, 2 bears, Mokujin and Unknown, etc. Largely seen as the best before TTT2.
Tekken 4: Miharu/Xiaoyu, Panda/Kuma. Violet/Lee. None by slots, and people say it was the worst.
Tekken 5: Eddy/Christie, Panda/Kuma, and Devil Jin/Jin (some fans around this time decried they should be the same character). Ganryu, Jack-5, and Roger Jr. had largely similar movesets around this time.
DR: Eddy/Christie have separate character slots.
Tekken 6: Eddy/Christie have separate slots, Panda/Kuma.
Tekken Tag 2: Unknown/Jun, Violet/Lee, Sebastian/Lili, and Tiger/Eddy/Christie. Less than what people actually would find because the rest of the cast are more diversified than Tekken Tag 1's so even characters like Bryan and Bruce have very different moves overall compared to the Tekken Tag 1 counterparts.
If you count palette swaps, Tekken has never gone a game without clone characters. If you count it by character roster then only Tekken 4 but that's only if you count by the character roster and not palette swaps.

I'm personally kind of glad they have clone characters. I like to have a tag team (considering this is Tekken TAG Tournament 2), but still want to use the same fighting style sometimes.

How is Devil Jin and Jin a clone? In fighting games, clones are characters that have the same or very similar moveset. Other than the fact that they're the same character, Devil Jin and Jin's differences are like night and day.

Texas Longhorns Love To "Jump Around"
The Texas Longhorns had a rough start against the West Virginia Mountaineers on Saturday night. After being down 21-7, the Longhorns rallied to tie the game in the second quarter after falling on the football in the end zone after a force fumble sack.
As the officials reviewed the touchdown, House of Pain's Jump Around started to play over the stadium PA system and the Texas players started to…jump around.
The scene is awesome.
My favorite part is at the :12 mark, if you look towards the left of your screen #76 starts dancing and its amazing.
so who was doing the jump around dance in the end?
Yeah great. Perhaps, they should've waited until the game was over before they started celebrating like they had won the game.
I, for one, was extremely glad to see this kind of enthusiasm from the Horns again. They're excited to be there! They're excited to be playing! They made a couple of mistakes and they lost on the scoreboard, but I think they showed they're hungry again. With that, success will come. Hook'em!

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.

feedback on counter height tables?
We are looking at getting a new kitchen/dining room table and we want a mission style table. My husband wants to get a counter height table and while I like the look of them, would prefer a regular height table.
This will be our only dining table, we don't have room for a separate dining room. My husband is 6 ft 2 inches, I am 5'7" and we have 3 kids, ages 7, 4 and 2. The kids and I would be spending a lot more time at this table than my husband would. Kids would do homework and crafts at this table, etc.
So, those of you with tall tables - do you like them? Are they comfortable to sit at for long? Am I overly worried?
Thanks for the feedback!
We just got one that replaced a regular height table and we like it! (The finish on the table actually had some issues so the store has ordered another one but that was just cosmetic, the style is fine.) The chairs are padded so they are really comfortable. I like being able to pull the chairs over to the island if needed. (We're using the table in the kitchen.)
This is NOT my house, but this is the table and chairs we bought. We have only been in three months (new construction) so this is like night and day! And reminds me of how much we still have to do.....:)
I don't like them because you can't pull up a folding chair. If its going to be your only table that's a bad thing IMO.
Thanks to both for the feedback!
The folding chair/extra seating has been one of my concerns also.
We just got one. I thought I'd hate it, but I love it. We may get bar chairs instead of stools in the future, though. We *do* have a seperate dining room, so I'm not sure if this would be something I'd consider if I didn't. That said, my three boys ages 6, 4 & 2 love this counter height set!
The table we got is a Byoyhill, in the American Era collection. We purchased it though a local (NoVA) store, Belfort Furniture. The table top has the Alexandria finish (the legs are black) and I would call it cherry, yes. There is a regular dining room table (the "Leg Table") in the collection if you are looking for that style.
Here is a link that might be useful: Broyhill American Era
I found this post while I was searching the internet for counter-height folding chairs! I do love my counter-height table- it's very comfortable to sit at, and also to stand at if I am sorting my mail, or if I have my laptop on it with a recipe I've looked up. I am short, too, but most chairs have a bar to rest your feet on.
However, I am thinking of selling it because of the extra seating issue. I sacrificed my dining room for a pool table, so now this is my only table. It will seat 8 easily with the leaf popped up, but for daily use, I only want the smaller table with 4 chairs around it. But when we have company, I would love to be able to seat 8 without having to store 4 extra counter-height chairs somewhere! Has anyone seen folding counter-height chairs ANYWHERE?
We just got a counter height table and LOVE it. I found folding counter height chairs at Ikea. The model is "Franklin" and the model# is 200.593.00 (last two can be 00, 01, 02- depending on color) Make sure you get the 25" chair- $24.99. My brother said they got some at Bed Bath and Beyond, but I couldn't find them there.
I was searching for two counter height folding chairs for extras for our table. The table extends beautifully (the extension is tucked into the table when closed); but we bought it with only 4 chairs. I was seeing prices of $79, $89 for "folding" chairs and was discouraged until I saw your post, deannap. Thanks for the IKEA info. This will work for me!
I LOVE the counter height dining room suite, and now my problem is solved.
Oh boy you're post is exactly what we're going through! We ended up going with a counter height and are now waiting to have it picked up and returned. First they may be great for a larger room but the height swallows up the space of a smaller eating area. Secondly, we got the kind that has shelving under it and as a result, the chairs do not tuck in all the way! Just some things to consider when making your decision.

We really, really love this smart-working multitasker.
It properly hydrates and plumps (so it's great for stickier weather, when a separate day cream might feel suffocating), boosts radiance with anti-oxidant fruit extracts and gives skin a warm, even glow when it's worked in properly.
A real standby for when we haven't had a good night's sleep, but need to fake it.
VitaZing Energy-boosting moisturizer with Mangosteen, £29, by Origins
Laura Mercier hasn't been crowned the 'complexion queen' for nothing.
Her original tinted moisturizer (there are also oil-free and illuminating versions) comes in a good range of shades and delivers just enough dewy colour when a full-on foundation just feels like too much.
Tinted Moisturiser, £34, by Laura Mercier
Garnier's newest glow-giver is a little hard to define (lying somewhere between a BB, an instant blur product and a tint) but that doesn't make it any less brilliant.
It's packed with anti ageing vitamin C, energizing B vitamins and ginger and a pro-retinol which helps minimize wrinkles over time.
Like many tints, it looks white when first applied but working it into your skin releases a hit of warm, golden colour – a great shade for summer, when you've got a bit of a tan.
Miracle Skin Cream, £12.99, by Garnier
It's the really luxe option, but Eve Lom's tinted moisturizer is so lovely, we thought it definitely deserved a place in our gallery of the best.
It melts right into skin, feels deliciously silky and delivers a really fresh finish.
It's also packed full of skin plumping hyaluronic acid and antioxidant vitamins E and C, for smoother skin in the long term.
Just what you'd expect, really, from makeup made by a superstar facialist.
Radiance Perfected Tinted Moisturiser, £43.20, by Eve Lom
One of the originals and still one of our favourites.
Estee Lauder's refreshing, cucumber-scented tinted moisturizer looks grey when you first apply it, but gradually releases a sheer, flattering tint that evens our your complexion.
It's properly hydrating, so perfect if you don't like heavy or thick day creams and protects skin with a cocktail of antioxidants, too.
DayWear Sheer Tint Release, £38, by Estee Lauder
Want to trade in your heavy foundation for something a little lighter this spring? Elizabeth Arden's Mineral Tinted Moisturiser is a wise beauty buy. With much more pigment than the average tinted moisturiser, the coverage it provides is comparable to a lightweight illuminating foundation. Only a touch of light-handed concealer is needed to fully fix flaws.
Worn over a day moisturiser for an extra hit of hydration, the oil-free SPF15 formula blends seamlessly to brighten, even-out skin tone and banish redness giving a luminous, natural finish.
Infused with hydrating Jojoba extracts and a myriad of minerals - designed to disguise flaws, and blur fine lines and wrinkles - the multi-tasking moisturising formula would be best-suited to dry or mature skin. However, if you're prone to blemishes and seek extra coverage from your tinted moisturiser this is one to try, too.
Pure Finish Mineral Tinted Moisturiser SPF15, £27, by Elizabeth Arden
If you're looking for a moisturiser with just a hint of colour, The Body Shop's Vitamin E tinted moisture lotion is the best make-up bag companion for dry skin.
Light and easy to use, with all the benefits of The Body Shop's original vitamin E formula, it acts as a great base with a light powder over the top so if you want to give your skin a break from heavy foundation for those no-make-up days, this is a brilliant choice.
We'd recommend this product for holiday evenings, thanks to its moisturising qualities. It'll help rehydrate skin suffering from too much sun exposure, but if you're stepping out in the sun and keen to use for day remember to add your own SPF underneath to keep your skin protected from the sun.
An easy addition to your make-up bag if you're looking to pull off the natural skin beauty trend, but if you're used to foundation, you might need to add a little more coverage over the top to see you through the day.
Vitamin E Tinted Moisture Lotion, £10, by The Body Shop
Perfect for women with oily skin who want a light touch of colour and sun protection in one, Bobbi Brown's SPF15 Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser is an easy-to-wear alternative to foundation.
Made with a new gel-based formula, the moisturiser hydrates skin, while keeping it looking natural with a sheer coverage of colour.
Packed with vitamins C and E, which protect skin from free radicals, it's easy to wear over the top of a moisturiser or a primer, or on its own for more long-lasting wear. A make-up must have, it's ideal for weekend city breaks when coverage is needed but sun protection is essential.
Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser SPF15, £29, by Bobbi Brown
Looks can be deceiving. Although on first appearance you might not think Perfect Look Skin from This Works is suited to your skin tone, it is in fact designed to suit all and really does.
Providing instant radiance as well as helping to promote long term hydration, the subtle skin tint is designed to be worn alone to give you a sunkissed glow. While it's one of our favourite lightweight options, it doesn't provide a huge amount of coverage so if you're looking for something to help even out noticeable flaws, a foundation might be a better choice.
With just a touch of colour and packed full of vitamins to fight free radicals and diminish skin imperfections, Perfect Look Skin is a skincare must-have and the perfect make-up prep product.
Perfect Look Skin Miracle, £28, by This Works
This award-winning tinted moisturiser from king of organic skincare, Dr Hauschka, can be used alone as a day cream or applied on top of your normal moisturiser.
The formulation is great for people who don't like that caked on look. The thin liquid sinks into skin with ease and helps give it a moist, well-moisturised look.
It's transparent enough to keep the skin's individual character and tone recognisable. Yet the subtle tinting evens out skin tone in a very natural way giving it warm and soft look.
Packed full of certified natural and organic ingredients including quince seed, anthyllis extract and rose wax, this moisturiser is perfect for people with sensitive skin that might ordinarily sting on contact with less natural cosmetic ranges.
We loved this tinted moisturiser. There are no nasty smell, no stinging, no unnatural colour and it gave skin a wonderfully natural, healthy glow. It even moisturised skin enough to be used in place of your normal moisturiser.
Toned Day Cream, £21, by Dr Hauschka
French skincare brand Sisley is known for its super hydrating creams, and it's good to see that it's brought this expertise to the tinted moisturiser range – in our opinion making it one of the best on the market.
Creamy and light, this formula combines a light cover with sunflower and plum oil, to ensure skin is kept dewy and fresh. Great for dry skin, it still gives a matt look with a velvety finish, which manages to combat oiliness without making the skin parched. Available in four shades, it's an ideal alternative to your normal foundation in the summer months.
Soin Teinte Tinted Moisturiser, £67.50, by Sisley
For radiant skin with minimal effort, we love this newly launched tinted moisturiser from Nars. The silky smooth texture leaves your face with a gorgeous glow, while skin feels supple and hydrated throughout the day.
Coverage is sheer but even, and can be easily built up to hide imperfections. The lightweight formula is oil-free and contains an SPF30, one of the highest that we've found within a tinted moisturiser, which makes it top of our wishlist for the summer months and sunny holidays.
If you're looking to emphasise the holiday skin look, add a touch of bronzer to complete your look.
Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser SPF30, £29, by NARS Cosmetics
With years of skincare research under its belt, we're always keen to hear about the latest Clarins products and the brand's tinted moisturiser certainly doesn't disappoint. With its subtle rose fragrance, HydraQuench Tinted Moisturizer has a luxury feel and provides more than just a wash of colour.
Containing katafray extract from Madagascar, this product has seriously moisturising properties and promises to help refine imperfections and fine lines. It's available in six shades and the colour range is good and will work for the vast majority of skin tones. With good staying power and easy to apply, we'd definitely recommend this tinted moisturiser option. A little goes a long way, so it's fairly price friendly too.
HydraQuench contains minimal UV protection (SPF6) so we'd definitely advise adding stronger sun protection to your regime if you're keen to use on a beach holiday.
HydraQuench Tinted Moisturizer, £27, by Clarins
With its barely-there finish and multi-action formula, Lancome's new colour-correcting Eclat Multi-Lift isn't your typical tinted moisturiser. From the brand's rejuvenating skincare line, the lightweight lotion has been created to lift, firm and tone to recondition skin's texture leaving it soft and smooth.
Sinking effortlessly into skin, the tinted cream instantly illuminates your face and helps to improve skin tone and boost radiance. Its super sheer, so try working a creamy concealer or flaw-fixing foundation across skin where extra coverage is needed.
Designed to correct the complexion based on the undertones in different skin types, the moisturiser comes in four shades. Shade 1 takes the sallow shades out of yellow skin, while shade 4 disguises ashen, grey skin tones.
This is one of our favourite new products for creating a natural finish with your make-up this spring.
Rénergie Eclat Multi-Lift, £39, by Lancôme

SAO PAULO (AP) — A smaller-than-capacity crowd and a few setbacks marked the final test event at the unfinished stadium set to host the World Cup opener in less than two weeks.
Sao Paulo stadium hosts final World Cup test
Only 37,000 people attended Sunday's Brazilian league match at the Itaquerao in Sao Paulo, which won't hold a full crowd until the opening game between Brazil and Croatia on June 12.
FIFA had requested a second match at the Itaquerao because it wanted to test the venue with the nearly 70,000 fans expected for the opener, but only one of the temporary stands added for the inaugural match could be used because local authorities did not issue the necessary permits to clear them.
There were no major problems inside or outside the stadium, but some fans still complained of difficulties accessing the venue because of heavy traffic and lack of adequate instructions by local authorities.
The match also had to be briefly interrupted after balloons released by fans made it onto the field, and the announcement of a substitution on the stadium's big screen upset one of the coaches because he had not yet authorized the change.
Fans said it took too long to clear security as metal detectors were used for the first time on Sunday, and some had not been able to enter the stadium by the time the game's first goal was scored in the 25th minute.
Some people without tickets were able to get past the perimeter set up by local authorities around the stadium. Not all concession stands were working properly, and clearly there was some unfinished work in part of the 20,000 temporary seats installed for the opener.

this was an early Xmas gift for my niece and she absolutely loves it. the quality and price was great. would recommend this product to any woman that loves watches. great product.
Bought as a gift, just perfect..............................................................
Very attractive and makes a bold fashion statement.
Works great and have received tons of compliments! Easy to see what time it is. Nice workmanship. Runs accurately.
I have worn my new watch several times and I love it. It is easy to wear. Just slide it on the wrist and go! It is dressy enough for dressing up, yet casual enough to wear with jeans or shorts. It was money well spent. Would recommend it to anyone.
Finally; a watch I can see without my glasses!! Perfect for dressy occasions or with jeans; this watch really stands out. The cuff could be a little wider; but all in all; the perfect go everywhere watch.
the watch is easy to read and looks nice, but is not the most comfortable, after a while it starts to feel a bit tight and I have a small wrist, but I do like the watch and overall am happy with it.
The watch was beautiful, I gave it as a gift and the pin broke after wearing it for a week...it is now at the repair shop.
My wife has purchased no less than 4 of these watches from Overstock. First, two; then another and, most recently (about 3 weeks ago) yet another. This allows her to rotate them so wear will be more even - and she *must* have a cuff-watch. She has had more positive comments on these watches than anything else she owns. "Where did you get that watch?" is frequently asked. Most of the women commenting are taken by the large, visible face. My wife has worn them for around 2 - 3 years now. They stand up to everyday wear and use while keeping excellent time.
For the price, appearance, and functionality, this is a very good watch. I gave it to my mom and we both like the large numbers. Very pretty.
I wore the watch two days before the band fell apart. It was a beautiful watch and I really liked it but since the band is a bracelet type, I can't replace it.
This watch is much prettier than on the computer. It also looks a little different. Is very small will only fit a 6 1/2 inch wrist. I usually wear a 7-7 1/4 bracelet and this watch was too tight. Gave it to a friend and they loved it.
I've never seen a watch like this and was pleased to find one that so exactly matched my mental picture of what I wanted. I was even more pleased by the very prompt shipping of my watch and wore it the same day it arrived. The quality is excellent and I love the elegant feeling I have whenever I wear it!
I love this watch. I wear it almost every day. It's very stylish. I have a small wrist and it fits perfectly--don't know if it would be comfortable for a larger wrist or a very small wrist. It tells time perfectly & it's easy to tell time, even in darker places, because of the large numers and light background. The silver bracelet tarnishes a bit and gets a bit easily scratched, but it still looks great and is a fabulous piece of jewelry as well as being a great watch.
Very nice watch. Keeps perfect time. And, you can see it easily. It also serves as a decorative piece of jewelry. Am most pleased.

What is this tree and do I need to prune it?
Hey everyone,
I'm new to Texas and new to gardening and have a question: We have these trees in our front yard (see photo) but we don't know what they are.
In summer they had pink blooms that were quite fragrant. Now they are completely bare, not a single leaf remaining, only a few small black and dried balls that used to be the fruit, I assume. When we moved here, it seemed that these trees, along with the rest of the yard, had been largely neglected and left to their own devices. They already had some dry branches without leaves, even in summer.
Do I need to prune these trees before spring comes? If so, how much do I need to cut them back? I've never done this before and I don't want to damage the tree.
Hi AGTx,
I have been in Tx for a few years and usually the one with questions. So I am really glad I can answer a question for once!
Its a crape mrytle you have here. You'll find much info if you google them. Here's a little prelim: They are smallish ornamental trees that come in all different colors red, shades of pink to pure white. I think they are originally of chinese origin but they do great here in SW and TX. You can't miss them when they finally bloom. I agree they look almost dead from winter to late spring. Its almost summer when they start showing signs of life and then they are magnificient until late fall.
About pruning, mine are really small so I don't prune. I have read about not pruning them too hard but frequently on highways and commercial landscapes I see their dead dry canopy all chopped off. Guess they come back after that. Some if not most varieties like to grow into a shrub. Yours seems to be kept as a tree form and you might have to trim suckers that sprout up to keep the shape. I love the trunk of these trees too. Mine are still little shrubs no trunk to admire yet. Enjoy!
Don't prune a Crape Myrtle.
As an FYI, a crape myrtle is not necessarily a small shrub/tree. I have one in front that is less than 10' and doesn't look like it will ever get any bigger (I've been here almost 10 years), but I have two in back that are easily 25' tall. They were planted by the former owner, so I don't know what varieties they are.
The only time you want to prune a crape myrtle is to remove crossing branches, cut out dead branches or trim them up from the bottom. Never top a crape myrtle. If you look up the term "crape murder" you should find lots of information as to why you should not top them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Article from Greg Grant on Crape Murder
I've never tried to move one, just had to remove about five of them (the previous owners planted more trees than would really fit in the yard). However, when we pulled them out, we had someone driving by ask if she could take them as she wanted them. It wouldn't hurt to try, at worst you'll have to buy another one to put where you want if this one doesn't make it. Or transplant a few of the ones that pop up from the roots in the original location.
As for planting in the original location...I'd honestly wait a couple of years first or plant something that'll tolerate you going in to pull out the sprouts. My parents planted mint in the same location as a CM they pulled out, it hasn't kept the roots from sprouting.
Crapes can be trained to be a variety of shapes, They can be left bushy, form the natural 'vase' shape or more tree like.
If those are actually Natchez the can eventually get 20 feet
If those were mine I would clean up the lower portions - ie just trimming small limbs. Attached a picture. I am all for pruning them - NOT TOPPING. The biggest problem i see is that people plant them then let them grow wild and they never end up looking like "classic" crapes. The rule of thumb I have heard is that you want enough space that bird could fly thru the limbs. You want airflow at the top so removing limbs from the center improves the flow
The problem with "topping" is that the new limbs really cant support the new growth. Kind of once you top you have to keep doing it.
If you trim you would want to do it inthe next few weeks.
