In this hands-on course, James Williamson demonstrates the concepts that form the foundation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), including styling text, adding margins and padding, and controlling how images display. The course also explores the tools needed to work with CSS, the differences between embedded and external styles, how to use selectors to target elements, and what to do when styles conflict.
Controlling the text formatting of a simple page doesn't require a tremendous amount of planning or execution. However, when controlling a site, especially a complex site, even the simplest text formatting requires thinking about how to apply the formatting efficiently, and in a way that doesn't change the formatting that you need for other elements. In this lab, you are going to return to the desolve.org site and focus on controlling the site's typography. You'll need to utilize many of the properties that you've learned in this chapter as well as put some thought into writing the most efficient selectors possible to achieve the desired formatting.
Let's take a look at the goals that we have for our text formatting lab. I'm in the 04_15 folder and I've opened up the index.htm along with the main.css file which can be found in the same directory in the _css file. Now if I preview this page in a browser just to kind of show you what's going on here, a lot of the formatting doesn't look very good at all. So typographically, we've got our work cut out for us here, so a lot of what happens in this particular page is very dependent upon the typography.
So I am going to jump back into our page. Now, from the previous two labs, you should be fairly familiar with the structure of the page and you should be fairly familiar with how the CSS is structured. So I am just going to jump into what our goals are for this particular lab and to find out what those goals are, I am going to switch over to the main.css file. And at the very top of the code, I've got our Lab instructions posted here. Once again, just like we did in the previous lab, you're going to have to figure out exactly kind of where to put these selectors.
This time I've given you some hints, I've got comments scattered throughout the CSS that say hey, put the link styling here, place the @ font-face rules here, that sort of thing. So you'll get some feedback as far as that goes. I'm more concerned at this point that you're focusing on the overall typographic strategy of the page. Now the very first thing that we are going to do for this particular file, we are going to be using web fonts for our site. So one of the things I would like you to do is go over to the assets folder, inside that you're going to find a text file that says fonts.txt and that has all of the font syntax that we are going to be using for this.
So I am not going to make you write this syntax from scratch. That wouldn't be exactly fair right now, would it? And then you are going to place that at the very top of our Global styles. Okay, so that's kind of a softball pitch, just to get you started. But you're also going to have to go through to make sure that you are using those new fonts as well and we'll talk more about that in just a moment. Now, our second goal that we need you to do is in the Global styles region, so remember, our styles are separated by sections, but in the Global styles region or section of our styles, I need you to write rules that are going to take the em element and the strong element and reset them so that they're once again displaying as italic and bold.
So why aren't they? Well, at the top of our styles, we have a very limited reset. This is one of my favorite resets to use because it's not overpowering and it's pretty easy to overwrite. But essentially, we're stripping all the margins, padding and border off of these elements, so if there is any default of those values, they are gone. We're using vertical line baseline to make sure that everything is aligned to its baseline property, even within things like tables and things like that. And then we have a font: inherit, and this is what's getting rid of our default styling for some of those elements like strong and em.
So it's not quite a scorched earth, CSS reset, but it does reset a lot of properties that you then have to go back through and toggle back on if you want them and that's one of the dangers of using a CSS reset. So again, the goal is in those Global styles regions that we were just in, I want you to follow that with a couple of rules that are going to reset em as displaying as italic and reset strong as bold. Then in the same section, I want you to find the body selector and I want you to modify that selector, modify the existing properties or add to the properties, so that the font family being used is Cantarell, the new font that we've added along with its proper font stack.
I want you to set the initial font size to the default size of the browser. So again, you have to remember how to do that. Set the line-height property so that all of the elements on the page have a line height that's 1.5 times the size of their font size. Now, when you do that you're going to have to remember you know do you use set that's using a relative unit of measurement or a multiple, you know how is this value going to inherit, those are the things that you need to think about. You're going to set the font-weight and the font-style to Normal and you are going to set the foreground color to ASH. Now every time I ask you to set a color, whether it would be a foreground or a background color and I use a color name, you can go right up here to the Color Guide and you can copy and paste these values, either the hexadecimal value or the RGB value.
Don't copy and paste the color name, because these are not reserved keywords. So copy and paste one of these; either the hexadecimal value or the RGB value, one of those two, either one of them will work just fine. The fourth objective for our lab is I want you in the Global styles to find the comment that indicates the location of the link style. So if you scroll down into our Global styles, this is kind of what you are looking for, a comment like that and that actually is the comments. So anytime I tell you, hey, go in the styles and look for a comment that says this, it's going to look something like that.
So I am going to go back up here again, let's read through this. So once you've found where you need to write those styles, what you need to do is write a couple of selectors that's going to strip out all of the text decoration for all our links. Set the color, the default color of our links to Burnt Orange, once again see the color guide up there, and set all of the color of the links when they are hovered over to the Pewter Blue and again, you can get that value from the color guide. So remember, this is supposed to be a very generic, very basic default styling for our links. So, keep that in mind as you write the selector for it.
In the header section of the styles and again, all of our styles are separated by sections so here is banner styles, you'd be looking for the header styles. So as you go through, you're going to look for that header section. All right, so let me go back up. But in the header section of styles, you want to modify the header h1 and h2 styles, so that the h1 has a font size that is 3.2 times its parent element's font, set the font-weight to bold, display the entire text in all caps, set the line height to an exact value of 165px and set the color to white.
That's going to give you some really dramatic formatting for that. For the h2 in the header, find that rule, set its font-style to italic. Set the font-weight to normal, set the font-size to 1.4 times its parent element, the color to white, all the letters to lowercase and increase the space between the letters by 0.1em. You also want to set the line height there to exactly 165 pixels as well. Now I know this might sound kind of confusing, you know the font size to 1.4 times its parent element, but trust me, if you were paying attention in the font-size movie, you kind of already know what I'm going for there.
Remember, it's calculating this based on its parent element, so we are using a relative unit of measurement there, okay. So let's go down to our last two objectives and the seventh one is Find the #mainNav a selector that's going to target every link inside the main navigation. Modify the rule so that the text displays an all caps and the text is aligned to the center. You then need to find the #mainNav a em selector which is just below that and modify it, so that the text appears in all lowercase.
Finally, go down in your styles and find the #footer a selector, you want to modify that selector so that the link text is aligned vertically with the background image (the bird). So you want it centered vertically with that bird. Now if you want a hint on this one, examine the height of that element for a clue on how to accomplish that. So okay, I know there's a lot going on there. So I am just going to leave it right at that, I am not going to make you do anything else. But I want to encourage you. The reason I'm giving you all these tasks is I want you to really pay attention to how the remaining formatting of the rest of your document is set as well.
Look into each section, you know like the article and the side regions and see how the text in each of the elements there is formatted. By setting that base formatting on the body tag, we can then treat every single region as an individual area and go ahead and tweak the formatting as needed. Now for the most part, styling is defining the relationship between the various element types. Care has been taken when I initially designed this to make sure that the formatting between the regions is consistent and it works together harmoniously. So really take a look at the styling and see if you can pick up on that. All right.

08.01.06 - Universum Box-Promotion celebrated a successful opening into 2006 on Saturday night. At the atmospheric Kulturhalle of Munich, Germany, Croatian light heavyweight contender Stipe Drews and Uzbekian heavyweight Ruslan Chagaev were able to score convincing victories in the main events.
Drews became a two-time European champion by winning a unanimous twelve round decision over Italian Antonio Brancalion by scores of 117:109, 118:109 and 119:108.
Stipe Drews was holding the European belt from 2002 through 2003 but lost a WBC world title eliminator in August 2004 to Paul Briggs in Australia. Against Brancalion he improved his record to 30-1 with 13 knockouts, retained his WBO intercontinental title and added the European crown. Brancalion dropped to 25-6-2 with 7 knockouts..
The European belt had been vacated by Thomas Ulrich last year before the German fought for the WBC title against Tomasz Adamek.
Top rated heavyweight Ruslan Chagaev gave an impressive example of his punching power when he destroyed Rob Calloway with two consecutive left hands in the second round. The Uzbekian southpaw countered a jab of Calloway with a left cross, then followed up with another left hand and brutally floored the American who then lay on the canvas unconcious while referee Erich Stümpfel reached the count of ten.
It was a rematch as Chagaev and Calloway fought to a technical 3rd round draw on Oct. 5, 2002, where an accidental headbutt opened a deep cut on Calloways eye in round two.
Whereas Chagaev continues to prove his ability to back up his ambitious nickname White Tyson inside the ring, he fortunately doesnt attempt to do so outside. In private the peacful Chagaev seperates himself clearly from his unpredictable and aggressive boxing idol, and his very liked for his gentle and friendly manners.
Chagaev who improved his unbeaten record to 19-0-1 (16) substituted his stable mate Alexander Dimitrenko who was basically scheduled to fight Calloway but injured his left ellbow in training. Chagaev is currently ranked WBO #9, WBA #15 and Fightnews #14.
Calloway, who had to rest on a chair for several minutes before he was able to leave the ring, dropped to 56-6-1 with 43 knockouts.
On the undercard Olympic gold medal champion Alexander Alexeev from Russia celebrated his professional debut at heavyweight for his new promoter Universum with a first round technical knockout victory over Czech Tomas Mrazek.
The European title fight between Drews and Brancalion as well as several undercard fights were televised by ZDF at 23:00 in Germany.

European & WBO Int. Light Heavyweight Championship:

Creating Secure Tunnels With ssh
If you manage remote servers or if you have more than one computer you most likely have used the ssh command. A simple description of ssh is that it's a secure version of telnet, but that's like saying a Porsche is a just a better version of a Volkswagen bug.
Amoung other things, the ssh command allows you to setup secure tunnels to remote computers. One example of creating a tunnel that I use often is to use phpmyadmin to look at the database on a remote server without having to have phpmyadmin actually installed on the remote server.
To do this I simply install phpmyadmin on my local system then I use ssh to create a tunnel to the server that I want to interact with. This means I don't have to have phpmyadmin installed remotely and I don't have to maintain multiple phpmyadmin installations if I manage more than one server.
Now of course, mysql is network capable to begin with so it's also possible to just setup phpmyadmin on your local system to talk directly to mysql on the remote server. However, for security reasons you may not want to have mysql listening directly on a public interface: have it listen on localhost but not on the internet.
The essence of this type of tunnel is to start ssh and tell it to listen on a local TCP/IP port and to have it forward any traffic that it sees on that port to a particular port on the remote side. The normal mysql port is 3306, so what you can do is tell ssh to listen on port 3308 on your local computer and forward that to port 3306 on the remote side.
For example, if the remote server in question was myserver.example.com you could run the following command on your local system to create a tunnel as described above:
ssh -T -N -L 3308:localhost:3306 myserver.example.com
The meat of the command is the -L option, which tells ssh to listen on port 3308 locally and then on the remote side to forward all traffic on that port to localhost:3306. Note that the localhost here is not referring to the local system but rather where to forward things to on the remote side, in this case to localhost on the remote side.
The -T command disables allocation of a tty and the -N command disables the running of a command (eg your login shell) on the remote side. This means that this instance of ssh won't act like a terminal, it's just for port forwarding.
You can test the tunnel using the command line interface to mysql on your local system. You may need to specify the host name or address in the command:
$ mysql -P 3308 -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE
$ mysql -h localhost -P 3308 -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE
$ mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3308 -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE
If that works then your tunnel is set up. Now all you need to do is configure phpmyadmin, which I leave as an exercise since the point here is tunnels not phpmyadmin.
This type of tunneling capability only represents some of what you can do with ssh tunneling. For example, suppose myserver.example.com were actually a firewall that protected, amoung others, the system private.local. The system private.local is accessible from myserver.example.com but not from the internet directly. So, now you could run:
ssh -T -N -L 3308:private.local:3306 myserver.example.com
Here, ssh listens on port 3308 on the local system and it forwards that data to port 3306 on private.host, but it does that via the server myserver.example.com. In other words the local traffic on port 3308 gets transferred first to the remote system which then transfers it to port 3306 on private.host. Of course, if private.local's mysql server is only listening on its local interface this won't work, you'll need something more involved.
Another type of tunneling you can do is to reverse the tunnel: rather than using -L you can specify -R so that the listen side of the tunnel is on the remote side rather than on the local side. For example, suppose phpmyadmin was installed on myserver.example.com and you wanted to allow somebody using that phpmyadmin installation to connect to the mysql instance running on your local system. Just substitute -R for -L in the first ssh command above:
ssh -T -N -R 3308:localhost:3306 myserver.example.com
Here the remote ssh listens on port 3308 of myserver.example.com and then forwards traffic on that connection to port 3306 on your local system. Note that by default ssh is only listening on the localhost interface of the remote system so if the remote phpmyadmin install is secure your local system will also be secure. Remember that you still run this ssh command from your local system, you don't run it from the server (and unless your system is routable you probably couldn't successfully execute it on the remote system anyway).
To test the connection, on the remote system execute the command line mysql client using the same commands as we used above. This should connect to the database on your local computer. Again the configuration of phpmyadmin is left as an exercise.

Tunnel ok, but MySQL won't connect over tunnel
1) I start the tunnel: ssh -L 3307:localhost:3306 remote
(where 'remote' is the remote host)
2) I can test with: telnet localhost 3307. The remote MySQL's version appears
3) I try to connect: mysql -P 3307 -h localhost user@remote mybase
and get connected to the local database (version is local MySQL's, the data is local, and no network activity.
The local MySQL is running on 3306. AllowTcpForwarding and GatewayPorts are enabled in sshd_config.
(Also tried with a tunnel 81:localhost:80, which gives me access to the remote website on my local port 81 - works fine. So I guess the problem lies with MySQL?)
Try this:
$ mysql -P 3307 -h 127.0.0.1 user@remote mybase
or this
$ mysql --protocol=tcp -P 3307 -h localhost user@remote mybase
Check these two bug reports: bug report 1 and bug report 2.
If I'm understanding what they're saying there: "-h localhost" essentially means "Use a Unix Domain Socket" (and ignore the -P option) and "-h 127.0.0.1" means use TCP/IP. Specifying "--protocol=tcp" forces the use of TCP/IP.
This explains why the use of "localhost" has always given me problems. And I agree with one of the commentors that says this behavior is "INSANE".

[solved] Thanks!
This explains why the use of "localhost" has always given me problems. And I agree with one of the commentors that says this behavior is "INSANE".
That is putting it mildly . I could have expected localhost not to work because of lookup problems, but not this!
Thanks - it solved my problem!
got error :(
thanks for good article
but I have problem with this solution:( mysql server is running,but when I want to connect to mysql server by this way,I get this error:
"ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)"
thanks for any help or guidance
Not Using TCP/IP
That means that mysql is trying to connect to the server using a "UNIX Domain Socket" rather than a TCP/IP socket. Did you specify the -h and -P options?

Ok, but...
there is also cool option to detach the terminal - its -f. When used, ssh goes background after tunnel creation.
There is also possibility to create tunnels "on the fly", when you're already connected to remote host. man ssh (under ESCAPE CHARACTERS) says:
" ~C Open command line. Currently this allows the addition of port forwardings using the -L, -R and -D options (see above). It
also allows the cancellation of existing remote port-forwardings using -KR[bind_address:]port. !command allows the user to
execute a local command if the PermitLocalCommand option is enabled in ssh_config(5). Basic help is available, using the -h
Reverse SSH tunnel
Also, don't forget reverse SSH tunnel. This is similar, except that the tunnel established work in "reverse".
So, if you establish a tunnel from A to B, you'll then be able to connect from B to A. This is great when you want to connect to something behind a firewall.
ssh tunnels
Hi Mitch-
You forgot to mention the most powerful and best tunnel of them all... -D !
Let's say that where you work has a fascist web web filter policy and blocks sites like this one Let's say they also allow ssh outbound. (or you configured your sshd to listen to a non-standard port that is not filtered, like 53 or 33123.
you can run a standalone SOCKS 5 proxy by sshing to that remote host with the -D and all your traffic will come out from the remote machine.
simply do a ssh -D 12345 my.linux.at.ho.me
then set your app to use a socks 5 proxy at localhost:12345
works like a charm!
you can also ease the -D, -L -R typing pain by writing your own .ssh/config.
circumventing Websense can be fun!
-L is ancient history
It's still useful in plenty of cases, so it is worth exploring. But no mention of -L is complete w/o giving -w at least a sidebar. The -w option is what permitted SSH to make the leap from mere tunnels to a real VPN capability.

Weary beyond sanity, Devin climbed into his Lexus SUV and relaxed into the leather bucket seats. As tired as he was, he could fall asleep here. All he had to do was recline the seat and close his eyes.
The temptation was great, considering he hadn't slept much the past few nights. Not with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Or at least the weight of his family's safety, which in Devin's mind was his world.
All these years they'd been so certain the killer who'd taken his parents' lives was off the street, no longer a threat.
That belief had been shattered just a few weeks ago. DNA evidence had proved that Rick Campbell, the man who'd spent the better part of twenty years in jail for the crime, wasn't the one who'd committed the murders. The police had arrested and the jury had sentenced the wrong man. His parents' killer still remained at large.
Devin hadn't slept well since, knowing the killer had been free all this time.
He buckled up, cranked the engine and drove out of the parking garage onto the streets of downtown St. Louis. He noticed his uncle's car turned left out of the parking garage onto Market Street. As Devin headed east, a car that had been illegally parked on the normally busy street slipped in behind his uncle's four-door BMW sedan.
This late in the evening, it was not unusual for there to be cars moving up and down Market Street. But something about the way the vehicle had slipped in behind his uncle's car had the hairs on the back of Devin's neck standing on end.
The car's driver hadn't switched his lights on. The streetlamps gave out enough light that a person could forget to turn on their headlights, but the feeling scratching across his subconscious wouldn't let Devin rest.
Instead of turning right toward the warehouse district where he lived, Devin made the decision to follow his uncle for a couple blocks. Just in case.
He stayed far enough behind the two cars as not to generate suspicion, until he noticed the vehicle following his uncle didn't have a license plate. Alarm bells sounded in Devin's head. He increased his speed, closing the distance between his SUV and the two cars ahead until he was only a hundred yards behind. He wasn't fast enough.
When his uncle turned north on Jefferson Avenue, the nondescript car behind him sped up. As they rounded the corner, the trailing car rammed into Craig's sedan, slamming the BMW into the traffic light pole. The unlicensed car sped away, leaving a trail of burned rubber.
Devin skidded his Lexus to a halt behind his uncle's vehicle, hit the hazard light switch and jumped out.
"Uncle Craig!" He reached the driver's door as his uncle pounded against it.
Jammed by the impact, the door wouldn't open until Devin braced his foot against the side of the car and yanked with all his might. The door swung open and his uncle looked out at him, the powder of the deployed air bags dusting his hair and face.
"What happened?" Craig asked, fumbling to unclip his seat belt.
Devin leaned in and released the buckle. "That fool just ran you off the road. Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Just a little shaken." His uncle tried to get out of the car, his face pale, his eyes glazed.
Devin placed a hand on his uncle's shoulder, insisting he remain seated. "I'm calling an ambulance."
"Really, I'm fine. I'd rather go on home to bed. It was just a little accident."
"No way. We need to stay right here while I also call the police. I had a feeling something like this would happen."
"What do you mean?"
"That was no accident. Whoever hit you knew exactly what he was doing. That was a deliberate attack."
"What happened to Uncle Craig last night was no accident." Devin Kendall paced the length of his spacious office. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I haven't slept in days."
"What can we do that isn't already being done?" Craig responded from where he sat on the leather couch, pressing his fingers to his forehead gingerly, lucky he only had a bump on his forehead to show for his collision with the light pole. "The car that hit me hasn't been found—it was too dark to identify the make and model. Basically, the police have nothing to go on."
Devin's family had gathered for this meeting at his request. The twentieth anniversary of his parents' murders loomed like a ghostly specter with teeth that could come back to bite any one of the Kendalls—and apparently had in the attack on his uncle the previous night.
Devin stopped pacing and faced his family. "The person who killed our parents is still out there. And things are becoming much more dangerous since Rick Campbell's murder."
Though he had been exonerated of the crime for which he'd served almost twenty years, Campbell had not been able to revel in his release as he himself was killed just days afterward.
Devin's sister, Natalie, leaned forward in the wing-backed chair beside the couch. "Whoever did it hasn't made a move on the rest of us." With her long straight blond hair and green eyes, Natalie was the spitting image of their dead mother. And, she could more than hold her own in a marketing meeting with the executives of the multimillion-dollar corporation, Kendall Communications.
But Devin wasn't so sure she could stand up against a cold-blooded murderer. "What if the killer decides the police are getting too close? What if one of us reminds him too much of our parents and he decides to kill again?"
"You're borrowing trouble, Dev." His brother Ash shook his head. "The St. Louis Metropolitan police have reopened the case. We're working it."
Devin snorted. "No offense, Ash, but they arrested the wrong man twenty years ago. What makes you think they can figure it out now?"
Ash's lips thinned into a straight line and his eyes narrowed at Devin. "This time, we don't have a celebrity-seeking cop investigating. And we're not kids ready to accept any answer."
His chest tightened as Devin recalled the morning he'd learned his parents had been murdered. Guilt wadded like a fist in his throat and he had to swallow several times to clear it in order to speak.
He'd been out all night and sneaked back into the house only to find their bodies. Natalie had been standing in mute shock. If only he'd been there, he might have been able to stop the murderer and spared his little sister the horror.
Devin wished his brother Thad was there. As usual, Thad was off on a journalism assignment with no expected return date and limited ability to contact.
Jolie Carson, Devin's executive assistant, appeared at his side with a cup of coffee. Just her presence helped to ease his discomfort. She'd been his best hire to date. Six years and counting, she'd stood by him, organized his schedule and his life to the point he couldn't imagine functioning without her. He took the coffee mug from her.
Devin took a sip of the coffee. Black, with a hint of cinnamon, just the way he liked it. "We aren't kids anymore." He set the mug on the desk and crossed his arms over his chest. "But that might make us more of a target."
"What do you suggest we do?" Natalie's eyebrows rose up her forehead. "Hide in our homes until the real killer is brought to justice?" She stood, her shoulders back, twin flags of color in her cheeks. "I'm not going to run scared just because some lunatic is out there. Twenty years is a long time. If he was going to make a move on any of the rest of us, he'd have done it by now. I have a job, as do the rest of you."
Jolie stopped on her way out of the office. "She's right. You can't run scared or the killer wins."
Devin scowled at Jolie. She propped a hand on her hip, her lips firm, her chin held high, daring him to contradict her in front of his family.
He'd have a talk with Jolie when everyone cleared out of his office. Her advice was usually sound and he valued her opinion, but she didn't understand how dangerous the situation could get.
"Natalie and Jolie are right." Craig stood, as well. "Much as I hate that we haven't found the killer, we can't live in fear. We have lives. We have a business to run."
If Devin could, he'd lock his family up on the Kendall estate until the killer was found. He leaned toward telling them just that, but knew they'd fight him tooth and nail. The Kendall stubborn streak was strong in every one of them. It's what made them successful. They didn't give up and they didn't run scared. Unfortunately, that didn't make him worry any less.
The tension in his shoulders loosened and he sighed. "Just do me a favor, will you?"
His siblings and uncle waited before committing to the favor.
"Be careful. Watch your backs and don't take anything for granted. If you see anything or anyone suspicious, let me or Ash know immediately. You can't be too cautious." His message was for all of them, but his gaze landed on Natalie.
She frowned. "I'm always careful. Just try to attack me and let's see who ends up on his butt." She waved him forward, her stance hampered by her slim-fitting skirt.
Jolie chuckled. "I'm scared."
"Me, too." Ash clapped his sister on her back. "Natalie is a black belt."
"Training and defending are completely different." Devin's gaze darkened. Natalie was his little sister. He still felt responsible for her safety even though she was a fully grown twenty-six-year-old.
"I think he's chicken," Natalie confided to Ash, her gaze on Devin, a smile lurking at the corners of her mouth. "But I'll let it slide this time. I'd hate to damage my favorite skirt." She cocked her head at him. "Anything else, dear brother?"
"Yeah, I need that marketing plan by end of day. I suggest you get to work before the CEO fires you."
She laughed. "Anyone ever tell the CEO he's a pain in the butt?"
"That could be construed as insubordination." Devin shot a wad of paper at her. "Get out of here."
Natalie spun on her sensible heel and headed for the door, stopping long enough to ask Jolie, "We still on for dinner tonight?"
"You bet. I've been dying to try that new Hunan restaurant around the corner."
"Me, too." Natalie turned back toward her brothers. "And, don't worry, I'll have eyes in the back of my head."
Craig buttoned his suit jacket. "I'm sorry this has all come up again. Your aunt Angela is beside herself with worry."
"Like Natalie said, we can take care of ourselves." Ash draped an arm over his uncle's shoulder. "You and Aunt Angela have done so much for this family. I'm more worried about you than the rest of us."
Craig and Angela had taken on the responsibility of raising the Kendall children upon the death of their parents.
"I beefed up the security at the estate," Craig said. "I'm considering hiring a bodyguard, but Angela is dead set against it."
Natalie paused in the doorway. "Can't blame her." She shuddered. "I'd hate having someone following me around, anticipating my every move. It would drive me nuts." She glanced at Jolie. "Six o'clock, then. Bye."
Jolie smiled and closed the door behind Natalie. She had her wavy red hair pulled back in a neat bun, exposing the long length and porcelain skin of her neck.
For a moment, Devin studied the way an errant curl bounced against her earlobe and wondered what she looked like with her hair down. She was somewhat plain in her soft gray suit with a proper slim-line skirt cut to the knee. Everything about Jolie was proper except her wicked sense of humor and her ability to tell him like it was. She didn't pull her punches.
He liked that about her. Jolie Carson didn't take any guff from him or anyone else.
"I'm out of here. Duty calls." Ash, always assuming his role as the cop, headed for the door. "I'm still digging through the case file hoping I find something they missed. I'll start interviewing witnesses again soon."
"Can you keep us up-to-date on how it goes?" Devin asked.
"You bet." Ash crossed the room and just as he reached for the door handle, Natalie crashed back in.
"You aren't going to believe this." She walked to the large television screen mounted on the wall, flicked it on and fumbled with the remote until she had a picture of the local district attorney at what appeared to be a press conference in front of the St. Louis courthouse.
A reporter pushed a mike in his face. "We understand the Christmas Eve Murders case has been reopened. What are you and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department doing to solve this case?"
The D.A. stood straight and looked directly into the camera. "As you all have heard, with the latest forensic evidence, the state crime lab was able to rule out Rick Campbell as the murderer. The St. Louis Metropolitan
Police Department has reopened and is actively investigating the case again. We'll get our murderer."
"Any guesses as to who might have done it?" another reporter asked.
"It's too early to say at this time. Let the detectives do their work." The D.A.'s eyebrows lowered, his eyes darkening. "But we'll look at everyone involved with the Kendall family. As in the majority of murder cases, many times it's someone close to the family, usually a family member who commits the crime."
Natalie and Jolie gasped.
Devin, Ash and Craig all swore.
"That SOB. How dare he cast suspicion on the Kendalls." Natalie's cheeks flamed and her hands fisted. "I'd like to have a word with that man."
Jolie shook her head. "Perhaps he's after the publicity. Bashing the Kendalls is a sure way to get the cameras turned your way."
"But why?" Natalie stared at the man on the screen. "He's not up for reelection this year."
"No, and he wouldn't get my vote even if he was." Devin flicked the television off. "Don't let it worry you. They don't have anything on any one of us."
"Yeah, but the media will be following us, just in case they find some dirt somewhere," Uncle Craig said. "If they don't find dirt, they might just make something up to sensationalize a slow-news night."
"Be extra vigilant with your safety and keep your nose clean." Devin shot a stern look at his siblings. "Don't get caught in a situation where you're cornered by the paparazzi."
Ash snorted. "Easier said than done. Later, brother." He grabbed Devin's hand and shook it, then pulled him close. "Get some rest. You look like hell."
"Thanks, you don't look so good yourself. Keep an eye on that fiancée of yours. She could be in as much danger as the rest of us. Especially since she found the DNA evidence that freed Rick Campbell."
"Rachel can hold her own. But I'll gladly keep a very close eye on her." Ash waggled his eyebrows.
Devin shook his head. "How she puts up with you, I'll never know."
Ash smiled at Jolie. "My big brother hasn't learned that a good woman makes a man want to be a better person. That woman could be right under his nose and he hasn't pulled his head out of the sand long enough to notice." He winked at Devin. "Am I right?"
"Shut up and get out." Devin shook his head, a hint of a smile pulling at his lips. Ash was a ladies' man who'd met his match in Rachel. That didn't mean Devin was headed down the matrimonial path. He had too much on his plate to even think of a relationship.
His gaze landed on Jolie. She was the ideal woman, the one he found himself measuring all others by. If he decided to settle down and think about a wife and two-point-one children, he'd like to find someone as strong and stable as Jolie. But that was a big if, one he didn't intend to explore anytime in the near future.
And she was his executive assistant. Completely off-limits in the corporate world. He shuddered inwardly at the media nightmare such a relationship would generate.

This monster of a FFA started soon after the auction finished, and it just ended, about two hours later! MEANING I'VE BEEN DOING AUCTION RELATED POKEMON THINGS FOR THE PAST 5 HOURS WOO. The FFA started like most others do, with a few Pokes statting up and subbing up, but one of the key differences in this FFA was the fact that Trick Room was almost constant. This allowed normally slow threats, such as Cofagrigus and Slowbro, to be at blistering speeds, allowing them to take things out quicker than they normally would. Airik went off to bed after a few turns, and Scizor fell to Espeon's Hidden Power Fire. Lapras was burned from Togekiss' Serene Grace-boosted Flamethrower, which brought it into KO range of Cloyster's Ice Shard (it outsped other priority moves due to Trick Room). Togekiss was under constant bombardment by the Bouffalant, and fell solely to the Bouffalant's shenanigans. Hydreigon became a threat, due to its Dark typing that was super-effective against many of the Pokemon playing. It was killed swiftly, giving Slowbro some health from a previous injury (Bug Bite from Scizor). Ditto forfeited, and Bouffalant fell to Slowbro's Surf. Cloyster had been Protect stalling for quite a bit, with both the Metagross' on its tail, but the Protect eventually failed, giving Metagross A some health. Electivire had been statting up and was apparently pretty dangerous, as it was soon teamed against and taken down. After that, Metagross B was also pressured until it couldn't stand up against its opponents any longer. From here, all alliances were halted. Cofagrigus gave away most of its health to Curse Slowbro, and Espeon finished the job by KOing the weakened mummy thing. The rest of the FFA piled against Slowbro, which fell at the end of the turn due to the Curse. From here, it was only Metagross, Serperior, and Espeon. Espeon made the Trick Room reverse, putting it in her favor, while Metagross and Serp had a scuffle that was interrupted by Espie's Hidden Power Fire. Finally, as a grand finale, Espeon used a powerful Stored Power to finish the battle. Good game!

How Much Rain Did You Get? On-Line Network Wants To Know
By Neil Johnson, Tampa Tribune, Fla.
Sep. 17–TAMPA — Starting Oct. 1, weather enthusiasts in Florida can join a 22-state network of volunteer observers who measure and report rainfall for a free online database.
The nonprofit network has about 5,500 members and is run through Colorado State University with a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The goal is providing better measurements by gathering rainfall, hail and snowfall information from as many locations as possible and making the reports available online for free.
"The information will benefit all of us. We'll use it to balance our Doppler readings and spotters," said Brian LaMarre, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service in Ruskin.
Official weather service rain-measuring stations in the Tampa Bay area are sparse, located at a handful of airports and the weather service office.
With the scattered nature of Florida's rainfall, existing measuring locations will miss much of the water that falls.
"Your variability is amazing. It can be pouring in one place and not a half-mile away," said Henry Reges, meteorologist at Colorado State and national coordinator for the network. "This will try to fill in the gaps."
Though the rainfall readings are not official in the view of the weather service, meteorologists will use them, LaMarre said. One way is by matching them against the rainfall estimates from the weather service radar observations.
Other users include flood control districts, farmers and mosquito control, Reges said.
This collection of measuring sites, known as the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, was started in 1998 after major flooding hit Colorado, but few official measuring stations recorded any rain, Reges said.
Here's how the network works:
Anyone interested can contact the network at www .cocorahs.org to register as an observer. The network will not accept Florida registrations before Oct. 1.
The network will assign a station number and provide instructions for reporting and placing the gauge.

Jaguars release Garrard, plan to start McCown
Gabbert dropped to third on the depth chart last week. McCown moved up to second, although no one knew he was actually auditioning for the starting job.
"Our starter is our starter until he's not our starter," Del Rio said. "That's the way it works. To do it any other way creates a circus atmosphere. We have not had that. We've had a very purposeful camp, we've had a very workmanlike, businesslike training camp. A decision was made in the best interest of the football team, and now we go forward."
Garrard ends his Jacksonville career with 16,003 yards passing, 89 touchdowns, 54 interceptions and a 39-37 record. He also ran for 1,746 yards and 17 scores.
Garrard's final game was one of his worst. He was hit repeatedly in last week's preseason finale against St. Louis and misfired on four of five passes. He ended the night with an animated exchange with his offensive line on the sideline.
That, too, had become an issue inside the facility, with Garrard pointing the finger more often than taking the blame.
Del Rio called Garrard a middle-tier quarterback after the 2009 season, and Weaver challenged him to do more with teammates that offseason.
Garrard did. He responded by setting the franchise record for touchdown passes in a season (23), enjoyed five of the best eight games of his career, and led the Jaguars to several late wins. But he struggled down the stretch.
It became clear Monday how teammates felt about Garrard. They declined to vote Garrard a team captain, instead choosing Jones-Drew and Lewis as offensive captains.
Garrard was released the next day.
"I think he's handled it like a man, like he's handled everything else," general manager Gene Smith said. "I think he's been a tremendous example how to handle adversity since he's been here. ... At some point, you have to go through this as an NFL player."

My Rating
Overall it was just okay. It was a large group and the tour guide lost track of us soon after arriving at Oxford.
The tour guides need to carry something in hand so that you can see them from a distance with 40 or so people. We missed most of this tour because another group cut in front of us. The guide never stopped or even looked back to see if the group was still able to follow. We could have seen the other two destinations on our own. Not much guidance.

We loved our evening at the palace. about how the ticketing worked . A delightful fellow dressed in the three corned hat greeted us and gave us instructions on where to go and how it worked. The tour was wonderful. The dinner was very good served in a beautiful setting. The concert was outstanding!

My Rating
Excellent was to see the city. We rode the round trip the first day and then decided what our plan would be for the next day. The buses come every 10 minutes so it is easy to hop back on. The drivers are friendly and helpful.

Immigration guards probed for killing alleged intruders
MANILA, Philippines—Two security guards at the Bureau of Immigration are being investigated for the death of two people they claimed broke into the government compound in Intramuros, Manila, late Friday night, police said Saturday.
Senior Police Officer 2 Glenzor Vallejo of the Manila Police District homicide section identified the two security guards as Carlos Garcia and Eric David Ducosin.
Vallejo said the suspected thieves were still unidentified.
Vallejo said that based on the statements of the security guards, who were invited to the police station to shed light on the shooting, one of the thieves pulled out a knife and the other tried to grab Garcia's gun when they were accosted while allegedly trying to steal a compressor at the back of the building.
The guards said they noticed the entry of the thieves when they broke the light at the west gate of the compound at around 11 p.m.
Garcia told police he was forced to fire at one of the alleged thieves when he pulled out a knife and tried to stab him. He said he also fired at the other one when he tried to grab his gun. Both men died on the spot, Vallejo said.
Vallejo said a knife was recovered near one of the dead men.
According to the guards, the two alleged thieves had also been seen passing the area several times prior to the attempted theft on Friday.

I feel like a Member of SAMCRO when I wear it lmao. It also works well to scare kids/wife :) can't beat the price!!
Quakertown, PA
Comment: I really like this mask. It fits well and will be perfect for cold weather. Heck, it'll even be perfect for Halloween... Ha
Comment: Exactly what you'd hope for but on the small side. If you're not petite be ready to do modifications...
To make it long enough to secure around your head cut the strap w/ the velcro and insert a spacer there. Aside from being on the small side around the head it is also small vertically on the face. For the half-face masks it's not really a problem but on the full-face model the eye holes are way low. I modified that too. If you're petite (or you like sewing projects) easily add another star or 2. It's fine for the money!

Comment: Wore it on a 6 hr cool Spring morning ride twice and it worked to keep cold air, debris and bugs outta my face. Kids love it or hate - I don't know, but this one little kid just kept staring at me out the back window. I gave him a thumbs up, but he just kept staring - LOL... I had dark shades, with my Scopion EXO C110 visor that stops just at the top of this mask. It looks bad-ass! My 7 yr old likes to put on the mask and try to scare me and her older brothers.

Van Dyke
from Bad Meets Evil – The Reunion Lyrics on Genius
Em is referring to the same Van Dyke Avenue in "Yellow Brick Road" from his Encore album.
This is also a play on words, knowing how much Eminem loves disrespecting women and talking about lesbians, which is shadowing his urge to want to call the girl he's with a dyke (lesbian).
Van Dyke Avenue is a street/road in Detroit crossing 8 Mile Road.
It's quite long, too:

Has anyone ever smoked from a Kiseru pipe?

Has anyone ever smoked from a Kiseru pipe?
Tsuge Kiseru Oiran Pipe - tsukiseru55
Unless you want something to set on your mantle I wouldn't spend $65 on that. It's beautiful, just impractical. I have a souvenir one that I bought in Korea for $1
Yeah, I wasn't going to, but still, I was wondering how they smoked.
They were made to smoke a tobacco that was shredded finer than shag. 5 Bros is probably the only thing that would smoke well in one.
Thirty or forty years ago, I knew some who thought that was the perfect hash pipe.
Nooo, not me!
I was in Tokyo and Kyoto about two months ago. At the time, I thought it would be fun to get hold of a kiseru, just as a souvenir, and to have a change to go out looking for it. I got cold feet when I realized that even the fairly standard models go for around $200. Anything actually made in Japan costs a fortune over there.
My wife is Japanese and she mentioned the Kiseru when I started smoking pipes. She may even still have one stashed away in my mother in law's storage. So, I did a search here and saw someone had asked the same question. I'd like to try it but I'd want to get the whole experience instead of trying to smoke a different type of tobacco. They sell Kizami tobacco here https://medwakh.com/asian-tobacco.html for anyone who owns a Kiseru and wants to try the real thing. If I ever get one of the pipes and tobacco for it I'll report back/review it. If I buy a Kiseru it'll probably be one of the Tsuge ones from smokingjoes. There are some on ebay as well. I wonder if churchwarden pipe cleaners would do the trick.
I've got a buddy down in AZ who has one and he said pretty much the only thing he managed to smoke in it without sucking embers into his mouth was the tobac cut specially for a kiseru. He also said it was incredibly harsh tobacco to smoke. They are pretty neat looking though, however impractical for puffer purposes.
Yeah, I got that impression from the look of the tobacco. Looks like raw uncured leaf shredded and dried. Still, I'm curious. I wonder if it was intended to be inhaled, given the small size of the bowl. I think it'll be something I'll try if my wife ever finds hers or if I were to pick one up on ebay for a few bucks. I don't think I'd spring for a brand new one.
I believe it's meant to be inhaled, and I think that was what soured my friend on the experience. He's not much of a smoker to begin with but he wanted something he could bump off inside a 15 minute break. He did say it didn't have a whole lot of taste and was extremely harsh to inhale.
Yep, quick google search says it's meant to be inhaled. :)
So it would be like smoking unfiltered cigarettes x2. Ouch, my lungs. :eek:
It must be a Medwakh, the name of the site that sells the Kiseru pipes sells those too. They have a starter kit for 22 bucks that comes with some tobacco. Tiny bowl, they say their 64 gram bottle gives you almost 500 bowls, but it costs a buck a gram. Must be super dry stuff. For 22 bucks though it might be worth a shot just for kicks. It's based in Kansas so the shipping wouldn't be crazy. Looks like stuff that puts hair on your chest though, probably supposed to inhale that too.

Judicial Employees Association leader Rama Koteswara Rao says Andhra Pradesh cannot be divided without abrogating Article 371D
The Rule 3 of Service Conduct Rules will not apply on the striking APNGOs, as all the employees who have joined the Samaikyandhra agitation have given prior notice to the authorities concerned, and hence they need worry and go ahead with the agitation fearlessly, said the AP Judicial Employee Association (Krishna Unit) president Arjampudi Rama Koteswara Rao, here on Thursday.
Addressing a press conference, he pointed out that the AP High Court has asked the APNGOs to file a written argument by Friday and we were supporting them with all necessary legal help. "They need not worry, as they do not attract the Rule 3 and more importantly they have taken up the agitation for a just cause- to see that State is not bifurcated. To protest against any injustice was our fundamental right," he said.
He pointed out that the agitation has been non-violent and peaceful so far, compared to the one that was taken up by the Telangana NGOs (TNGO). Giving details, he said, "Over 1,600 cases were booked against 8,000 TNGOs during the Telangana agitation, but so far not a single case was booked against any member of the APNGO with regard to violence or damage to public or private property."
Countering the High Court's suggestion that the strike can be taken up later, as the bifurcation issued was only announced by the Congress Working Committee and not by Parliament or government, Mr. Rama Koteswara Rao said, "It is true that the decision was taken only by the CWC, but it was announced by the Home Minister of the country and supported by the Prime Minister."
He further pointed out that as per Article 3 of the Indian Constitution, a State cannot be divided without the consent of the State Assembly, wherein a majority should agree to it. "The Congress party appears to bulldoze this aspect. And it was surprising for a leader like Digvijay Singh say that consent of the Assembly was not important."
Giving an issue a legal tangle, Mr. Rama Koteswara Rao further stated that Andhra Pradesh cannot be divided without winding up Article 371 D, which was in force since 1953. "First wind up Article 371 D and then talk of bifurcation," he asserted.

Gary Wills: Catholic sisters 'guilty as charged'
Gary Wills, writing in The New York Review of Books, says the U.S. sisters are guilty at charged.
Gary Wills, writing in The New York Review of Books, says the U.S. sisters are guilty at charged.
What's left to say? By now the whole world has heard the Vatican is going to take care of those uppity, radical feminist nuns.
Except they're not that uppity. They're not radical feminists. For Pete's sake, they're not even nuns.
The leadership of the largest organization representing U.S. women religious announced this afternoon that the board of the group will meet in an "atmosphere of prayer, contemplation and dialogue" in May to discuss news that the Vatican has ordered it to revise its statutes and has appointed an archbishop to oversee the revision.
The attitude toward women that prompted the Vatican crackdown on the LCWR was there in the beginning and it's never been exorcised from Catholicism. It even got into the New Testament, in 1 Corinthians, for example, where the writer declares that women "should keep silence in the churches for they are not permitted to speak but should be subordinate. ... If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husband."
Today, we are assured by every credible Scripture scholar that this was inserted by some scribe after Paul's death; it totally contradicts his attitude toward women and his acceptance of women as co-workers. In Romans, he commends an entire list of women, including Junia, whom he calls "prominent among the apostles." Nevertheless, several putdowns of women got placed in the texts and have remained as stumbling blocks for the unwary.
Sisters Under Scrutiny is a new NCR blog that aims to be your one stop site gathering the latest news, actions and reactions arising from the Vatican ordered reform of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the umbrella organization for 80 percent of American Catholic sisters.
This past Sunday, I was privileged to give a talk at Epiphany Parish in Louisville, Ky. This is a lively, progressive parish with social justice at the center of its life.
As luck would have it, the topic on which I had been invited to speak on some months ago was "faith-filled dissent." I began by thanking the Vatican for providing me with so much rich material just before the talk. I was referring, of course, to the ultimatum from the Vatican that, if implemented, would destroy the Leadership Conference of Women Religious as we know it.
The Epiphany folks roared. Their sentiments, like those of the vast majority of Catholic (and other) commentators ranged from "What are these guys thinking? Do they really think they can win?" to "Hey, nuns are the best thing going in the church" to "You go, girl!"
About twice a month, my wife meets up with a Vietnamese-American nun in a rough part of town, and together they roam in a beat-up white van, scouring the streets for homeless women. It never takes long. The sister knows just where to look: dirty alleys, dark underpasses -- they are there.
Many of them are regulars, seeking out the van from their hidden places. The sister and my wife offer to bring them back to a church shelter; if the person refuses, they hand out bags of food and essentials then head on their way.
This slender, slight but fierce nun is apparently a clear and present danger to the Catholic church.
I'm talking, of course, about the now-infamous Vatican report that says the real trouble with the church in America is that our nuns here just can't seem to toe the line of the bishops, "who are the church's authentic teachers of faith and morals."
"Please give me bigger blindfolds and larger ear plugs or tell me how to continue to belong to a group that constantly tries to discourage my participation."
A friend offered this simple prayer after news broke of the Vatican's doctrinal assessment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. At times like this, I wish I was a pew-warmer Catholic, faithfully fulfilling my obligations while turning a blind eye and deaf ear to the messiness of church politics. But I can't. And this past week has shown that many Catholic women and men can't.
Discussion boards have heated up with predictable reactions from both ends of the trad-lib scale. Support for the sisters and their work is loud, strong and unwavering among those who embrace the renewal efforts of Vatican II. For those who eagerly anticipate a turning back of the clock, the sisters represented by LCWR symbolize the dissident church, straying from both purity of doctrinal teaching and unwavering obedience to the hierarchical leadership. The ideological lines of division are being drawn ever more deeply.
In his Holy Thursday sermon, Pope Benedict XVI made headlines for criticizing those who refuse to obey the church's position on the ordination of celibate men. He traced his argument back to Christ's obedience to the will of God.
"His concern was for true obedience," Benedict said, "as opposed to human caprice."
The Los Angeles Times has chimed in, adding another incredulous voice to many more certain to come, as reasonable observers consider the Vatican's destructive attack on U.S. women religious last week.
Columnist Steve Lopez writes that when he first heard of the Vatican doctrinal assessment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the umbrella group of 80 percent of U.S. women religious now under attack by Rome, he thought it was some kind of satire, "a parody of the out-of-touch Vatican patriarchy."

Origins of Sayings - The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword
About the history and origins behind the famous saying the pen is mightier than the sword.
Stories behind Famous Sayings
The Saying: THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD.
Who Said It: Edward Bulwer-Lytton
When: 1839
The Story behind It: In Act II of Bulwer-Lytton's play Richelieu, Cardinal Richelieu learns of a plot against him contrived by a friend and confidant, the monk Joseph. Since as a priest he could not challenge the monk to physical combat, Richelieu issued a written statement which contains the following:
Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Bulwer-Lytton was not the only one, nor was he the first, to have the thought. The Greek poet Euripides, who died about 406 B.C., said, "The tongue is mightier than the blade." In 1600 Shakespeare had Rosencrantz in Hamlet say that "... many wearing rapiers are afraid of goosequills." In 1621 Robert Burton wrote The Anatomy of Melancholy, in which he stated: "From this it is clear how much more cruel the pen may be than the sword." Also preceding Bulwer-Lytton was Thomas Jefferson, who in 1796 sent a letter to Thomas Paine in which he wrote: "Go on doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword."
