UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Friday night to secure and destroy Syria's chemical weapons stockpile, a landmark decision aimed at taking poison gas off the battlefield in the escalating 21/2-year conflict.
The vote after two weeks of intense negotiations marked a major breakthrough in the paralysis that has gripped the council since the Syrian uprising began. Russia and China previously vetoed three Western-backed resolutions pressuring President Bashar Assad's regime to end the violence.
"Today's historic resolution is the first hopeful news on Syria in a long time," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the council immediately after the vote, but he and others stressed that much more needs to be done to stop the fighting that has left more 100,000 dead.
"A red light for one form of weapons does not mean a green light for others," the U.N. chief said. "This is not a license to kill with conventional weapons."
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the "strong, enforceable, precedent-setting" resolution shows that diplomacy can be so powerful "that it can peacefully defuse the worst weapons of war."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stressed that the resolution does not automatically impose sanctions on Syria. The resolution calls for consequences if Syria fails to comply, but those will depend on the council passing another resolution in the event of non-compliance. That will give Assad ally Russia the means to stop any punishment from being imposed.
As a sign of the broad support for the resolution, all 15 council members signed on as co-sponsors.
For the first time, the council endorsed the roadmap for a political transition in Syria adopted by key nations in June 2012 and called for an international conference to be convened "as soon as possible" to implement it.
Ban said the target date for a new peace conference in Geneva is mid-November.
Whether the council can remain united to press for an end to the conflict remains to be seen.
"We know despite its clear usefulness, one resolution alone will not save Syria," France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said after the vote.
Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari accused unnamed nations of already giving the resolution a negative interpretation and trying to "derail it from its lofty purposes."
And Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who have been harshly critical of Obama's policy on Syria, dismissed the resolution as "another triumph of hope over reality." It "contains no meaningful or immediate enforcement mechanisms, let alone a threat of the use of force for the Assad regime's non-compliance," they said in a statement that was highly skeptical that Russia would ever approve a threat of force for non-compliance.
The vote came just hours after the world's chemical weapons watchdog adopted a U.S.-Russian plan that lays out benchmarks and timelines for cataloguing, quarantining and ultimately destroying Syria's chemical weapons, their precursors and delivery systems.
The Security Council resolution enshrines the plan approved by Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, making it legally binding.
The agreement allows the start of a mission to rid Syria's regime of its estimated 1,000-ton chemical arsenal by mid-2014, significantly accelerating a destruction timetable that often takes years to complete.
Kerry said the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons stockpile will begin in November and be completed as called for by the middle of next year.
"We expect to have an advance team on the ground (in Syria) next week," OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan told reporters at the organization's headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands immediately after its 41-member executive council approved the plan.
The OPCW plan gives Damascus a week to provide detailed information on its arsenal, including the name and quantity of all chemicals in its stockpile; the type and quantity of munitions that can be used to fire chemical weapons; and the location of weapons, storage facilities and production facilities. All chemical weapons production and mixing equipment should be destroyed no later than Nov. 1.
The Security Council resolution does not assign blame for any chemical attack. Some Western countries had wanted the draft to demand that the perpetrators of chemical weapons attacks be referred to the International Criminal Court to be prosecuted for war crimes. Diplomats said this was discussed, but Russia objected.

One-on-one with Kelli Anderson
During the day, Kelli Anderson works as a middle school math teacher and cheerleading coach.
But in those very early hours before daylight, while her students are fast sleep, Anderson becomes Kelli Dawn: novelist.
Anderson's debut novel, "Down This Road," is a story about what it's like to come home again. It was released by the locally-based Kandon Publishing and Anderson is already working on a sequel.
The author, who moved to San Diego from Utah in 2001, talks about what drives her and how she managed to be good at both writing and math.
Q: Why did you want to write a book?
A: For as long as I can remember, I've written stories. I didn't share them with anyone for a long time, and to be honest, I'm not sure at what point I decided I would actually want to publish a book. I do know that once it became my intention, I announced it to my friends and family and from there, there was no backing down. I was determined to see it through, and it was a long journey.
Q: What's the inspiration behind your book?
A: The story — well, the early version of it, anyway — came to me in a dream when I was 14 years old. One of the struggles of the main character, whether to live in the country or the city (San Diego, actually), is a struggle I've had in my own life. And I, like, the main character, have been accused of being too independent. So in a way, some of the inspiration was just me processing things I was going through in my life.
Q: Since you're also a full-time teacher, what is your writing schedule like?
A: My main writing/creative time is in the early morning hours while the rest of the world is sleeping. I wake up between 3 and 4 a.m. every morning (yes, even on weekends). I'm lucky that I also teach at a year-round school, so I am able to get a lot of the editing done during my four-week breaks.
Q: How are you good at both math and writing?
A: I've been writing for as long as I can remember, so I guess all those hours of practice counted for something. As far as math, well, it was actually my weaker subject at school. To be clear, I wasn't bad at math, but I always received perfect scores in reading and writing, whereas in math I was just slightly above average. However, my first year of teaching found me teaching math and, well, I quickly developed a passion for it! I will sit and solve a math problem for fun, the same as I would read a book for fun.
Q: Why did you decide to go into teaching?
A: After I graduated college at age 20, I had a degree in psychology and no idea what to do with it. As I explored my options for graduate school, I landed a job as an instructional aide at a middle school and fell in love with teaching. I think it's important to note that growing up, I NEVER wanted to be a teacher. My mom and sister were both teachers, but I wanted to do something — anything — else.
Q: What do your students think about your book?
A: Well, those who know think I'm instantly famous, which is kind of funny. They're also amazed when I tell them it took me about three years to finish, because they can't fathom working on something for that long.
Q: You're also a cheerleading coach — do you write your own cheers?

Do you think there will be a successful major terrorist attack at the Winter Olympics in Sochi?
willgrr, just because the stock market is booming is not an indication that all the little people are cleaning up.
The QEs are what's propping up the market. Many normal citizens (outside of ND) are finding it difficult to make it on part-time work or no work at all. Tax increases, many as a result of Obamacare, are making discretionary investments difficult, if not impossible.
Your comments about the stock market show how out of touch you are with normal Americans. Are you one of those rich people?

NBC... Senate panel on Benghazi: 'The attacks were preventable'
By Carrie Dann, NBC News
A Senate panel faults the State Department and intelligence agencies for failing to thwart the September 11, 2012 assault on American outposts in Benghazi and says that the attacks were "preventable."
In a statement on the declassified report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee, lawmakers said that "the attacks were preventable, based on extensive intelligence reporting on the terrorist activity in Libya—to include prior threats and attacks against Western targets—and given the known security shortfalls at the U.S. Mission."
The panel takes both the State Department and the intelligence community to task for failing to upgrading security despite the warning signs that an attack could happen. Its findings largely mirror those of an independent review board, which released its findings in December 2012.

FOX...A comprehensive report by the Senate Intelligence Committee definitively declared that individuals tied to Al Qaeda groups were involved in the Benghazi attack, challenging recent claims that the terror network was not a factor.
The report was released Monday, nearly one year after then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, under congressional questioning over the nature of the attack, shouted at lawmakers: "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
The administration initially claimed the attack sprung out of a protest, but has since given a more complicated assessment. Still, administration officials all along have downplayed Al Qaeda involvement, recently seizing on a New York Times report that supported those claims.

ABC...A rare bipartisan report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released Wednesday attempted to put to rest conspiracy theories and politically-driven allegations about the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attacks that killed four American officials.
The panel's 85-page report placed blame for the incident first and foremost on armed Islamist militants -- mostly associated with five groups closely tied to core-al Qaeda -- but also with the State Department run by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose staff failed to heed incessant warnings that security was evaporating there.
The committee's majority Democrats, led by Chairman Dianne Feinstein of California, concluded that the attacks "were likely preventable."

The report faulted the State and Defense departments. It also cited the failure of the Obama administration to "bring the attackers to justice."
Specifically, the report said the intelligence community provided "ample strategic warning" that security in eastern Libya was deteriorating and U.S. personnel "were at risk." The report said multiple "tripwires" were crossed signaling security problems, and the State Department should have increased its security posture in response. This included an Aug. 16, 2012, cable from Ambassador Chris Stevens raising security concerns, and prior attacks on westerners in Benghazi.

I might be interested, you can see examples of my work here:
Hello Cartographers
I have written a novel which I am hoping to get published. It is a historical fiction set in a (non-existant) Principality called Dalnerechensk in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I am looking for someone to design a (basic, Tolkienesque) map to be published in the novel.
I am willing to pay for this work and will discuss this via email address (A newbie! Private Messages not available to me yet!) with any interested party.
I have attached a (cringe-worthy!) scanned self-drawn map to give you a basic idea of the layout of the principality. (This map is of the defense of Dalnerechensk against an invading Russian army. It includes the main features of the Principality - except for the mines near the village of Macherna.) I am looking for something fairly basic, Tolkienesque/Olde Worlde - the typical sort of map published in fantasy novels - black and white to spare the poor publisher's purses.
The scale/ratio does not have to be exact. It will be at the cartographer's discretion.
I am wanting the map as soon as possible - there is no formal time constraint, but after waiting over two years for other maps to come to fruition I am impatient to have it. However I will work with the cartographer and discuss a timeframe that is mutually agreeable.
I am happy for the cartographer to retain copyright of their map but would naturally require reproduction rights. The map will clearly be attributed to the cartographer in the published novel.
If you are interested, please email me at rachael --- underscore --- en zed ---- at ---- yahoo dot com. I look forward to hearing from you.

Lawmakers want at least one of six U.S. test sites to be in state.
PHOENIX — Arizona lawmakers are bidding to make the state a center for aerial-drone research, but they also want to make sure local police don't use the unmanned surveillance aircraft to spy on Americans.
As the sophisticated eye-in-the-sky technology the military has deployed in the war in Afghanistan and against drug Mexican cartels along the border becomes a Pentagon fixture, state lawmakers have introduced several bills to ensure that Arizona is part of the high-tech revolution, without turning it into a police state.
The U.S. military has used drones around the world for more than a decade, patrolling hot spots, gathering evidence and launching airstrikes. The unmanned craft are nothing new to Arizona either.
The federal government has used them within the state to help fight forest fires and patrol the border. The Fort Huachuca Army base in southern Arizona houses the largest unmanned-aircraft-system training center in the world, employing hundreds of private contractors and civilian instructors and training more than 1,300 students a year, according to the Army.
Arizona-based defense contractors are cashing in on what has become a $4 billion-a-year investment for the military alone, not to mention the growing private and foreign government uses.
And universities in the state are pushing to develop the necessary workforce. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz.; the University of Arizona in Tucson, Ariz.; and Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz., offer programs related to drones.
State lawmakers are doing their part via legislation to prepare for greater growth.
House Concurrent Resolution 2009, sponsored by Rep. Tom Forese, a Republican from Chandler, Ariz., reinforces Arizona's push to be a Federal Aviation Administration selection as one of six national drone- testing sites.
The National Defense Authorization Act, which President Barack Obama signed in 2011, authorized the sites where officials could test drones in civil airspace near commercial air traffic. The sites were scheduled to be chosen in December, but the FAA delayed a decision indefinitely, saying it needed to address safety and privacy concerns.
Arizona officials said they are hopeful the state still will be chosen.
HCR 2009 has passed the House Public Safety, Military and Regulatory Affairs Committee with unanimous bipartisan support. It now awaits a vote of the full state House.
Officials also are preparing for what they fear could be a worst-case scenario in the future of drone technology.
House Bill 2574, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Dial, also a Republican from Chandler, makes it illegal for state or local law-enforcement officials to use a drone to collect information unless they have a search warrant.
It also makes it illegal to monitor individuals inside their homes or places of worship. It has exceptions for law-enforcement officials investigating human trafficking or drug smuggling as long as they are doing so on public property or with permission on private property.
Dial said he is working on the bill and expects to make some changes.
Rep. Carl Seel, a Phoenix Republican, also introduced a bill that would forbid state and local governments from assisting in any way with enforcing portions of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 that allows the military to detain a U.S. citizen. But Seel said he is putting his support behind Dial's bill.
The bills come amid controversy surrounding a White House legal argument justifying drone-missile strikes against U.S. citizens who are part of terrorist groups overseas.
"We need to protect something called the Fourth Amendment," Seel said, adding that he has heard "unverified" reports of drones being used to survey citizens in Arizona. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable searches.
He said the bills restricting drones are not intended to limit the federal government's use of drones to protect the border.
Dial said his bill is intended to be pre-emptive.
"What I want to do is protect citizens' rights," he said. "We don't want to live in a police state. We don't want to have drones everywhere in society."
Dial also supports the resolution seeking to make Arizona a test site and efforts to promote drone research and business opportunities in the state.
"I want the jobs here, and there are definitely uses for drones," he said. "But I don't want civil liberties and privacy invaded."
He said the two bills address separate issues and can work together.
"The problem isn't technology," Dial said. "It's how humans use the technology."

This medication is used to treat muscle tightness and cramping (spasm) caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis or spinal injury. Decreasing spasms can reduce pain and improve your ability to move around. Tizanidine is a short-acting muscle relaxant that works by blocking certain nerve signals from the spine to the brain (alpha adrenergic agonist).
How To Use
Take this medication by mouth as directed. When you start this medication, your dosage will probably need to be increased slowly by your doctor to reduce side effects, especially dizziness and/or drowsiness. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to use this medication correctly, and follow all instructions carefully. This medication usually starts to work in 1 to 2 hours and wears off after 6 to 8 hours. Tizanidine can be taken every 6 to 8 hours, but you should not take more than 36 milligrams a day or more than 3 doses in 24 hours. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy.
Your body will absorb this medication differently depending on whether you take it as a tablet or capsule, whether you take it with food or on an empty stomach, or if you sprinkle the contents of the capsule on food. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor to determine the best way to take your dose, especially when changes to your dose are being considered or if your doctor prescribes a different form of tizanidine (e.g., tablet or capsule).
This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as anxiety, tremor, increased blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tenseness) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.

Even though the dangers of tanning are widely known by most people, women still head onto the beach and into the tanning bed. For these individuals, the allure of glowing, bronzed skin outweighs the risks for premature signs of aging and skin cancer. Many who tan believe that there is no sunless alternative that can produce a natural, healthy-looking bronze. The Stila Cosmetics Bronzers collection was designed as the answer to these naysayers, proving that radiant, sun-kissed skin can be obtained safely by all women.
The Stila Cosmetics Bronzers range is not one-size-fits-all; rather, the range offers different formulations, so that women have a variety of shades and application methods to choose from for their unique skin care needs. The products in the Stila Cosmetics Bronzers lineup are all designed to apply evenly and to have a truly tan appearance, unlike sunless tanning products that often appear brassy or orange when they dry. Using a product from the Stila Cosmetics Bronzers collection allows you to achieve the perfect tan all year round without exposing your skin to harmful ultraviolet light.
A golden glow does not have to come at the expense of your skin or your general health. The Stila Cosmetics Bronzers collection is the perfect option for those who crave a healthy tan, but not by risking the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or skin cancer lesions. The bronzer lineup is formulated for even, beautiful applications and results that are so natural, your friends will think that you just returned from an escape to the beach.
The Stila Sun SPF 15 - Shade 2 is a pressed powder bronzer available in two shades, the darker of which is this deep honey color. In addition to imparting a smooth glow to the cheeks, nose and forehead, the bronzer also contains a mild sunscreen to help protect your skin from damaging ultraviolet rays during your everyday routine.
The Stila One Step Bronze does not just apply coloring to your skin; it brings out the natural glow that's hidden beneath your pale, winter-white complexion. The formula contains three bronzing elements that safely enhance the tone of your skin for an unbelievably natural appearance. In addition, the Youth Revival Bio-Available Mineral Complex in the bronzer firms your skin tone to reduce the appearance of fine lines with every application.
The Stila Bronzing Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 features a burst of color in its hydration lotion formulation to give you a healthy glow every day. Suitable for all skin types and tones, the tinted moisturizer also offers effective sunscreen protection.

I am fairly familiar with amavis and was looking at disabling anti-spam for specific users. But the question is what's better (if any) between the two?
zmprov seems the easiest to implement however its' not 'visible' as to what addresses have been whitelisted.
spam_lovers maps are harder to implement but are visible as there's a quick file
Anyone see any other benefits from one over the other?
That said, looking at amavis.conf.in it seems that we need to enable it like:

Very interesting - in the brief look I just gave it! Thank you for sharing.
Well here it is. This is the general approach I used to create the Steel Remains map.
I'm afraid that until Gimp supports layer styles, this tutorial will be not be portable to Gimp users.
All C&Cs appreciated, I can edit the tutorial. Please use this tutorial to create your own styles of mapping...I'm really looking forward to see what you come up with!!
All the best

I just happen to be starting a new map now.. let's see if I can't apply this.
Nicely done. 5 stars!

Thanks, I have that in mind when starting a new map.
Since I already had the outline done, I used this tutorial on the Witchlight Strand last night. I don't think it turned out too badly, but it still needs tons of work.
I've used non-destructive editing for all my maps in the past year. It's how Brigand I created the Gaia map for the Heaven's Gate campaign. We can very easily go back and alter anything as needed and it will continue to match the overall theme.

STEUBENVILLE - Jay Morris was spot on when he said Steubenville imposed its will on his debuting Buckeye Local basketball squad inside the Crimson Center on Thursday.
Forcing 20 first-half Panthers turnovers (14 came via steals) with their trapping defensive pressure, the hosts cruised to a 62-43 victory.
"We always say whichever team imposes its will on the other usually wins," Morris noted. "(Thursday), Big Red imposed its will on us.
"We talked about the fact that when these kids were sophomores (Buckeye Local starts four seniors and has eight on the roster) and we went 1-20, we didn't have that many turnovers in a half. We didn't expect that from our seniors."
Things actually looked pretty good for Buckeye Local early. Hoops by Caleb Agnew and Brennan Czuchran gave the Panthers a quick 4-0 lead. The walls, unfortunately, came tumbling down from there.
John Linn swished a triple then added a deuce to ignite an 11-0 Big Red run. Brandon Herring-Hill, Chris Smith and Tajuan Lawson accounted for the other six points. Mike Haney's crew, thanks to a Mylik Young bucket, was up 16-7 after the opening eight minutes.
The Panthers were guilty of nine ball-handling miscues during the opening stanza.
To its credit, Buckeye Local opened the second frame strong, scoring six straight. Big Red's defense went back to work, however, forcing 11 more turnovers. The result - Haney's cagers built a 31-15 halftime lead. Young had a huge quarter, scoring eight of his team-high 13 points.
Big Red held a 43-26 advantage after three then outscored the Panthers 19-17 during the final stanza. The visitors ended with 30 turnovers while Big Red was credited with 20 steals, Linn getting six.
In addition to his 13 points, Young, a 6-3 jumping jack senior, also led his team in rebounding with nine.
Periogn West added 12, eight coming in the fourth quarter. Lawson, who dished out five assists, had nine for Big Red, which hit 25 of 59 field goal attempts. The winners, however, were just eight of 17 from the charity stripe.
"We practice it," Haney noted. "We obviously have to concentrate when we practice it. We have to get better. In a close game, that can come back to bite you."
Czuchran led the Panthers in scoring with 15. Kyle Michalo added 10. As a team, Buckeye Local was 16 for 52 from the floor.
"The only good thing is we get to play," Morris said. "So we don't have to think about it too long."

An Afghan official says Saudi Arabia will build a massive Islamic complex in central Kabul that will cost between $45 million and $100 million.
Dayi-Ul Haq Abed, Afghanistan's acting hajj and religious affairs minister, told the French news agency AFP that the project was agreed last week in Jeddah and that construction will begin next year.
The Islamic complex will cover 24 hectares on Maranjan Hill in central Kabul. It will feature a university, a hospital, a sports hall, and a mosque capable of holding 15,000 worshippers at a time.
The center, to be named after Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, will be run jointly by the Saudi and Afghan ministries of religious affairs.
Saudi Arabia was one of only three countries to recognize the hard-line Taliban regime during its rule in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.

Hi, finally I have Zimbra and Evolution talking together. However, it is asking me whether or not I want to accept the self-signed certificate from Zimbra everytime when I launch Evolution.
Is there a way around this? I imported the certificate as CA Authority, however, that does not help. Why does Evolution not add an option to remember the certificate?

John Schmoke
Ms. Celestino
A member of my family said she believed John Schmoke passed in Albany, but there is no one by that name located in Albany. So I believe this might be my grandfather. Do you know if the dates of death and names are listed on the headstone if there is one.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have already put in a request for a photo.

Peter Chiappa
Hello Elsie,
(Find A Grave Memorial# 12872738)
I know you placed the Chiappa page up a while ago. I was wondering if you had any other information about Peter. My G-G-Grandfather (somewhere in that timeline) moved here from Italy, reports conflict as to which specific location. I was told that when his family moved here, they dropped the first "a" to have a new start.
I am curious if Peter had any brothers or sisters that you know of.
Thanks for any kind of info.

State government will be asked to put $44 million more into the Mississippi retirement system next year to shore up the program for an estimated 30 years, the system director has told lawmakers.
Pat Robertson, executive director of the Public Employees Retirement System, told lawmakers Tuesday that public schools and cities and counties would also be expected to contribute more to the system. Dollar figures were not available.
Robertson says she expects the PERS board to implement a new employer contribution rate of 15.75 percent in October. That would be up from 12.93 percent paid into the system by employers in fiscal 2011.
Robertson says there is no plan to increase the amount employees pay into the system.
Robertson says there are more than 91,000 retirees in PERS.

Soon you may get glimpse of all the things your baby is getting up in your uterus (womb). A mid-pregnancy ultrasound scan, called an anomaly scan, is usually done between 18 and 22 weeks. This assesses your baby's growth and development and checks whether the gestational age is accurate.
During this scan, you might see your baby kick, flex, reach, roll, or even suck her thumb. See if your partner can come along to share the thrilling sight of your baby, and ask if you can have images from the scan.
If you're having a girl, the vagina, uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes are in place. If it's a boy, his genitals will be distinct and recognisable. If you are carrying more than one baby, check out our section on twins or more.
From now on, when you lie down, it's best to lie on your side, or at least partly tilted to one side. When you lie flat on your back, your uterus can compress a major vein. This may make you feel dizzy, because less blood can return to your heart. Try placing a pillow behind you or under your hip or upper leg for comfort.
Note: Every baby develops differently. This page is designed to give a general idea of how a fetus grows in the uterus.

Agave boasts an interior that is country-style and chic at the same time. Wholesome, traditional meals are served here, all tastefully presented - almost too good to eat. The fusion between French cuisine and South African is a match made in heaven. Try the traditional 'roosterkoek' for a real local treat. The restaurant is well priced and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner from Mondays to Saturdays.
Be transported to a different time and place in the midst of the city that, as soon as you walk through the doors, disappears. The elegant, yet Old World ambience and interior, provides a dinner setting that envokes peace and tranquility. The quaint pub area and the beautiful garden and pond provide kick-back-and-relax spaces and the passion that goes into the cuisine served here is unmistakable. Amazing Indian cuisine can be tried here.
This unique restaurant is situated in an old farm barn that gives it a warm and cosy, and wholesome feel. The ambience is friendly and inviting and the passion that is put into the business, the people and the food really shows. Seasonal dishes are offered on a blackboard menu to optimize the use of the ingredients available. Diners can enjoy typical farm-style cuisine with a gourmet twist. Try the wild boar, apple and sage burger patty on a panini topped with onion marmelade and gorgonzola cheese and served with sweet potato fries. For vegetarians, there are dishes like the red pepper filled with barley mushroom risotto and feta.

Although Dr. Rogers has joined the "great cloud of witnesses" mentioned in Hebrews 12, he always maintained that the ministry was not about Adrian Rogers, but about Jesus Christ. Though the messenger may be gone, the message must continue.

The Sun never knew how wonderful it was
until it fell on the wall of a building.
Louis Kahn, Architect
quoted in forward of In Praise of Shadows, Junichiro Tanizaki
Look round and round upon this bare bleak plain,
and see even here, upon a winter's day,
how beautiful the shadows are.
Alas! It is the nature of their kind to be so.
The loveliest things in life are but shadows,
and they come and go, and change and fade away…
– Charles Dickens
Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows,
the light and dark which that thing provides.
– Junichiro Tanizaki
Kabul, Afghanistan
We are but dust and shadow.
– Horace
You can only come to the morning through the shadows.
– J.R. R. Tolkien
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow.
– T. S. Eliot
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.
The shadow is what we think of it. The tree is the real thing.
– Abraham Lincoln
Hindu Kush Mountains, Afghanistan
Ancient Catacombs, Rome, Italy
A shadow on the wall
boughs stirred by the noonday wind
that's enough earth
and for the eye
enough celestial participation.

The lead counsel for the video game industry in the upcoming Supreme Court fight against California's proposed violent video game restrictions outlined the problems with the state's legal arguments in a recent public appearance.
Speaking at an intellectual property forum at Chicago-Kent University last week, Jenner and Block LLP Partner Paul M. Smith said that no matter how a state defines "extreme" violence in such laws, they will run into constitutional problems with vagueness.
"I've litigated nine cases in a row where states have tried to define the category nine different ways – and they always lose when they make this case because violence is considered a perfectly appropriate and normal part of what we give our kids to see starting from a very young age," he said.
"Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, there's lots and lots of violence in all of those things," he continued. "You have to figure out a way to use the English language to describe some subset of violence which is different from that. Even though people are being murdered and beheaded all the time in Lord of the Rings, you don't want to make it a crime to sell a DVD of Lord of the Rings to a 16-year-old child."
To let California's law stand, the high court would pretty much have to carve out a new exception to the First Amendment for minors' exposure to violent content, as it did for sexual content in 1968's Ginsberg v. New York decision. But Smith pointed out that the current court has been loathe to create new First Amendment exceptions in the recent past.
"This is something they pretty much rejected a week before they took this case, in the Stevens case, which was the animal cruelty videos case, where the court ruled against creating new exceptions," he said. "I guess what the real question in this case is, regarding kids, do we carve out separate exceptions for them and not for anybody else?"
In the absence of some new, court-defined exception to the First Amendment, Smith said the state would have real trouble meeting the strict scrutiny generally required for any restriction on free speech.
"They barely make an effort to satisfy strict scrutiny," he said. "…They'd have to show that there's enormous harm prevented by this law outside the existing rating system, that there's no less restrictive way to do it, that there's no overbroad effects, and that's an extremely difficult test to meet," Smith said.
As far as the "enormous harm," Smith said the state has utterly failed to show compelling evidence that violent games cause any significant problems for minors' development.
"There is a group of psychologists out there who have made their careers trying to prove that there's something wrong with video games, but their studies … find these tiny little effects of maybe three percent more likely that you would be an aggressive school kid with violent video games," he said.
"The other things is, their social scientists don't show a bit of evidence that violent video games are any worse than television, or movies, or anything else that you can experience," he continued. "The notion is that playing the games makes it more harmful or engaged in a different way, but even taking the evidence they've marshaled, they just don't make that claim."
And that lack of a distinction means that any decision against violent games could easily spread to other media, Smith warned. "It's going to be extended to movies, to the internet, to television, all of which are out there with no limit at all on what they can contain. So that is something that would be an extremely bold, revolutionary move by the court," he said.
With federal and state courts unanimously rejecting similar violent game laws in eight other states and two cities, some might be worried that the Supreme Court could only be interested in hearing this case so it can overturn this uniform legal opinion. But Smith said the high court's decision doesn't necessarily bode well or ill for the industry.
"I think there are examples where the court take cases where there's no conflict about 30 percent of the time," Smith said. "One possible explanation is that they've seen nine cases in a row in four circuits and they just disagree with all of that. The second explanation is, as the cases have come up through the circuit court, they realized there's an enormous amount of conflict between federal judges and state policy makers and that they want to put this issue to rest."
While the industry included two to three hours of gameplay footage showing the artistic expression of some violent games with their briefs, Smith laughingly wondered in the Supreme Court justices might need some further education on how video games actually work.
"This happened back in the Reno case in the mid-'90s that I was involved in," he said. "This was a first amendment case in 1997, and it was essentially true that most Supreme Court justices hadn't gone on the Internet to see what a web site looked like. So we had to get a monitor hooked up to a computer in the library set up and connected to the Internet to explain to the justices what the Internet was. So I wouldn't at all be surprised if there was an Xbox in there and we had to show the justices of the Supreme Court an example of a game."

Youngsters were invited to invent, examine, discover, and uncover the many ways science affects life at Hagley's Invention Convention.
"Invention Convention piques the interest of children. They learn to question and seek answers through exploratory play," Education Coordinator Jeff Durst said.
The Create-An-Invention Workshop challenged kids to imagine a creation and, then, build it. Kids constructed their invention using familiar household items such as cereal boxes, paper towel rolls, and egg crates. The Hagley Patent Office then gave the young inventors patents for their inventions.
Parents and children also spent the day exploring the Science Fair. Scientists and science groups conducted science demonstrations and displayed information on their projects
At the Tinkering Tables, children took apart appliances, machines and other discarded items such as computers, telephones, and radios. Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County donated the items used at the Tinkering Tables.

text: Last year I hunted 43 with my smoke pole for the first time. Had a great time but didn't get a deer. I have some ideas of other parts of 43 I didnt get to this year if I go back to 43. I'm also considering looking around the holy cross, unit 45. 43 is having some point creep and I would like to find a unit I can rifle hunt every 3 to 5 years and draw some 2nd choice muzzle loader tags in between. I'm also considering 44 and 444 but 45 seems to have the most wilderness. Just wondering what to expect in the 45 area as far as hunting, hunting pressure and and hikers. In the end I guess the unit dont matter all that much, I'll still be backpacking in Colorado high country

Investigators in Powell County have released the names of the couple involved with a homicide that happened Saturday evening.
Powell County Sheriff Scott F. Howard says 65-year-old Dennis Leo Schowengerdt stabbed his wife, Tina, multiple times at their Racetrack area home Saturday evening.
Schowengerdt then drove to the police station Sunday morning around 8am to make confession.
"He came in through the front door like anybody would and spoke to the dispatcher, he said he wanted to talk to an officer," said Howard.
"The dispatcher asked him what it was concerning and he said, 'Yeah, I killed my wife last night and she's out at the house,'" added Howard.
In a press conference today Howard told the media that in Schowengerdt's confession he showed zero remorse.
"I've been in law enforcement for 26 years and that was probably one of the strangest interviews I have ever conducted and sat through," said Howard.
"His demeanor was that he wanted to be very open, he wanted to make sure that I knew exactly what he did, why he did it, and how he felt about what he did," Howard added.
Previous records indicated the couple as having a troubled relationship, and showed numerous visits to the residence by officers in the past.
The weapon used in the homicide was a large "Rambo-style" knife according to authorities.
Schowengerdt was arraigned Monday afternoon and held with no bond.
The next court date is scheduled for December 18.

Andy Roddick and his coach, brother John Roddick, have officially ended their professional relationship.
After his first round win over Fabrice Santoro, the former US Open champ told the press,
We just met in Washington afterwards, and, you know, I think John's, he's been feeling the effects of the road for a little while. When we first got together, it was temporary, you know. And he was kind of just helping me out and was going to help, and then all of a sudden it's two‑and‑a‑half years later. I think he was spent, and I was struggling, and so it was a very ‑‑ it was an easy conversation, you know. He was just like, "I'm kind of tapped," and it's pretty intense day to day, and I'm pretty intense day to day. It's probably not the easiest.Patrick McEnroe has temporarily stepped in to fill the role during the US Open.
But he's been here the whole time, and we've been hanging out, so it's not too big of a deal, and we'll always be brothers. It wasn't a long, drawn out, dramatic conversation. It was something he got to before I did.
Why, oh why, can't he stay off the coaching merry-go-round? Obviously, the common denominator here is A-Rod so I'm thinking there's no coach in the world who can fix that problem.
But I bet a sports shrink could...
UPDATE: Check out this recent interview Doug Robson did with Jimmy Connors. They go into some detail about his stint with A-Rod and Jimmy's belief that the tools are there, but the mind may not be willing. Very insightful.

When and where could a rooftop antenna pick HBO?
This was when I was a kid. My dad had an antenna on the roof from a company called ACS I think. This was back in the 80's The only choices we had were either Prism or HBO. Prism was for the sports people and HBO was for those wanting movies. This was before cable was available in our area at the time.

Here's an odd, short tutorial. Several people have commented on my use of 3D in creating some of my maps. While I certainly do use 3D applications and sometimes incorporate their use in my maps. My recent Top Down Tree House map in the Finished Map Forum uses implied 3D through creative texture use and shading, however, everything was done in a vector graphics application. The same techniques can be applied to image editors as well.
I often find myself using photo-textures to create certain terrain types, but changes in shape sometimes doesn't match the photo. This tutorial uses shapes to apply the same texture but rotated to follow a different direction. However, it's an odd, corner case problem that may or may not come up in your designs, so I don't know how useful this tutorial really is - just an explanation of how to imply 3D when you don't have the time to spend using 3D applications, as a quick solution. Really, even using 3D applications presenting accurate texture skinning of 3D objects is a lot more problematic and difficult to accomplish, even with the best tools. So this is the cheaters way to do 3D and skip the problem altogether.
