The Renaissance writers on                architecture recognized five orders as orthodox or                classical, -- Doric (the Roman sort), Ionic, Tuscan,                Corinthian, and Composite.

Solmization \Sol`mi*za"tion\, n. [F. solmisation, fr. solmiser       to sol-fa; -- called from the musical notes sol, mi. See       {Sol-fa}.] (Mus.)       The act of sol-faing. [Written also {solmisation}.]          Note: This art was practiced by the Greeks; but six of the                seven syllables now in use are generally attributed to                Guido d' Arezzo, an Italian monk of the eleventh                century, who is said to have taken them from the first                syllables of the first six lines of the following                stanza of a monkish hymn to St. John the Baptist.                            Ut queant laxis Resonare fibris Mira gestorum                         Famuli tuorum Solve polluti Labii reatum, Sancte                         Joannes. Professor Skeat says the name of the                seventh note, si, was also formed by him [Guido] from                the initials of the two words of the last line; but                this is disputed, Littr[82] attributing the first use                of it to Anselm of Flanders long afterwards. The                syllable do is often substituted for ut.

Sullen \Sul"len\, a. [OE. solein, solain, lonely, sullen;       through Old French fr. (assumed) LL. solanus solitary, fr. L.       solus alone. See {Sole}, a.]       1. Lonely; solitary; desolate. [Obs.] --Wyclif (Job iii. 14).          2. Gloomy; dismal; foreboding. --Milton.                         Solemn hymns so sullen dirges change. --Shak.          3. Mischievous; malignant; unpropitious.                         Such sullen planets at my birth did shine. --Dryden.          4. Gloomily angry and silent; cross; sour; affected with ill             humor; morose.                         And sullen I forsook the imperfect feast. --Prior.          5.

[bd]The larger stream was placid,             and even sullen, in its course.[b8] --Sir W.

Both sullen and sulky show                   themselves in the demeanor. Sullenness seems to be an                   habitual sulkiness, and sulkiness a temporary                   sullenness. The former may be an innate disposition;                   the latter, a disposition occasioned by recent injury.                   Thus we are in a sullen mood, and in a sulky fit.                               No cheerful breeze this sullen region knows; The                            dreaded east is all the wind that blows. --Pope.                   -- {Sul"len*ly}, adv. -- {Sul"len*ness}, n.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Slingshot          {CSK       Software}'s {real time} financial server for the {Internet}.          Slingshot allows the delivery of real time market data across       the {Internet} and private {intranets} quickly, cheaply and       securely.   The first beta-test version was released free to       the Internet on 6 August 1996.   Slingshot allows any financial       institution, regardless of size, to publish their rates and       associated information to a global audience using standard       Internet protocols and software.   The {real-time} data can be       seamlessly integrated into any standard {World-Wide Web}       application and thus combined with static text, database       queries and even audio and video objects, to create services.          The Slingshot protocol enables the delivery of other forms of       real time data over the Internet, thus making Slingshot useful       in industries as varied as manufacturing, betting, telemetry,       weather, transport and medicine.          Version 2's improved protocol minimises the required       {bandwidth} and can go through {firewalls}, {proxies}, and       {virus scanners}, making Slingshot real-time data accessible       everywhere where normal web access is possible.          (2003-05-13)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Salamis       a city on the south-east coast of Cyprus (Acts 13:5), where Saul       and Barnabas, on their first missionary journey, preached the       word in one of the Jewish synagogues, of which there seem to       have been several in that place. It is now called Famagusta.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Schoolmaster       the law so designated by Paul (Gal. 3:24, 25). As so used, the       word does not mean teacher, but pedagogue (shortened into the       modern page), i.e., one who was intrusted with the supervision       of a family, taking them to and from the school, being       responsible for their safety and manners. Hence the pedagogue       was stern and severe in his discipline. Thus the law was a       pedagogue to the Jews, with a view to Christ, i.e., to prepare       for faith in Christ by producing convictions of guilt and       helplessness. The office of the pedagogue ceased when "faith       came", i.e., the object of that faith, the seed, which is       Christ.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sling       With a sling and a stone David smote the Philistine giant (1       Sam. 17:40, 49). There were 700 Benjamites who were so skilled       in its use that with the left hand they "could sling stones at a       hair breadth, and not miss" (Judg. 20:16; 1 Chr. 12:2). It was       used by the Israelites in war (2 Kings 3:25). (See {ARMS}.)                The words in Prov. 26:8, "As he that bindeth a stone in a       sling," etc. (Authorized Version), should rather, as in the       Revised Version, be "As a bag of gems in a heap of stones," etc.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Swelling       of Jordan (Jer. 12:5), literally the "pride" of Jordan (as in       R.V.), i.e., the luxuriant thickets of tamarisks, poplars,       reeds, etc., which were the lair of lions and other beasts of       prey. The reference is not to the overflowing of the river       banks. (Comp. 49:19; 50:44; Zech. 11:3).
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
