It's early fall in Phoenix, and that means another season of ASU football is upon us. After a shared PAC-10 championship in his initial year, fan approval of Dennis Erickson was off the charts. Following two disappointing seasons — the initial back-to-back losing seasons in 60 years — there's open discussion amongst fans of who ASU should pursue for the head coaching job in 2011. In what is otherwise a wide-open year for the Rose Bowl, the media has picked ASU to finish ninth within the conference. What to anticipate While the team will be returning what's expected to be a stellar defense, the questions all center around the offense. New offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone has installed an up...

Waterfalls are truly inspirational in a garden setting, with the larger waterfalls adding a new dimension to a landscape with the sound of cascading water tumbling over rocks, and smaller waterfalls providing a more tranquil setting.

The ideal situation for a waterfall is a gently sloping hillside, but with time and patience you can create a lovely effect, even if your garden is a bit on the flat side. The best way to construct a waterfall is to copy the way nature creates a waterfall. Rocks...

"body"> Going into week 10, Virginia Tech's Marcus Vick was a shoe-in to make the trip to New York, but after last Saturday's performance against the Hurricanes, he is on the outside of the Heisman race looking in. The three Heisman front-runners, Young, Leinart, and Bush, did nothing to hurt their chances, and by that I mean had great games, but because we have come to expect such improbable performances week in and week out, they didn't live up to the expectations we have created for them. I mean, it's going to be hard for Young to compete with his 500 yd day he had two weeks ago. In comparison, his 16-27 passing for 298yds and 2 TDs leading Texas to a 62-0 romp over Baylor is seen as an average...

This thing about perfectionism is controversial to talk about. We are taught to find the "perfect solution" to our customers' problems. But here's the thing, and it's important to remember. Life changes for that customer almost daily. The...
