...there were more games in town.' Local companies that offer green options siphon off potential customers?including 30 other EP&L churches?but Green Mountain remains the most dedicated national player. The total output of U.S. renewables is 16,500 MW, about 2% of the total U.S. grid. 'Until the demand for green energy increases, you're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic,' says Adam Markham of Clean Air?Cool Planet, a nonprofit in Portsmouth...
...little too well, leaving our premises too funky after bacchanalian nights spent on the skin. Now LINOLEUM RUGS offer a wipeable alternative that is as aesthetically pleasing and frankly sexual as its endangered counterpart. Created by L.A. painter Christopher Stearns, the linoleum rugs come in a variety of grid, dot and zigzag patterns. Jack Nicholson and Phil Collins have had intricate hand-cut floors inlaid.

It was his bid to rival Solomon, biblical builder of the Jews' first great house of worship, which had been razed by the Babylonians some...
...path of the Via Dolorosa, the Stations of the Cross, through the Old City of Jerusalem is almost certainly inaccurate. It follows a 14th century grid of the city rather than a 1st century plan, and probably reflects the desire of 14th century merchants along the way to get pilgrims' business. But the hill of Golgotha (a.k.a. Calvary) and Jesus' burial cave, both located by tradition in Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulcher, are a different matter...
