That's 50 laps around the Speedway, twice as many around Churchill. But the expansive motor racing cathedral, with its signature yard of bricks, and the stately horse racing track, defined by its dignified twin spires now dwarfed by grotesque modernization, are undeniably linked. Many of their most cherished traditions seem rooted in the same values. And each became the standard by which all who compete in their respective sports are judged.</description><pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2008 17:32:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Horses and drinking -- Kentucky Derby facts</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/05/02/kentucky.derby/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/05/02/kentucky.derby/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>I was born and raised in Kentucky, a background that usually doesn't offer much in the way of conversation fodder. </description><pubDate>Fri, 02 May 2008 18:05:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Features to transform your backyard</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/homestyle/05/01/toh.transform.bkyard/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/homestyle/05/01/toh.transform.bkyard/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Here are some tips to create a stretch of lush lawn that you'll use and enjoy.</description><pubDate>Thu, 01 May 2008 13:16:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Brighten your garden without the digging, weed pulling</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/homestyle/03/20/toh.planting.pots/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/homestyle/03/20/toh.planting.pots/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Containers allow you to garden where there's no ground to till, brightening up the patios, porches, decks, and stoops where we linger on long summer days. </description><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 17:49:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Have a special cup of tea</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/homestyle/03/14/tea/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/homestyle/03/14/tea/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Steep yourself in know-how with these masterful tips on tools and techniques.</description><pubDate>Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:03:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Saudi Arabia bans all things red ahead of Valentine's Day</title><link>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/02/12/saudi.valentine/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/02/12/saudi.valentine/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Saudi Arabia has asked florists and gift shops to remove all red items until after Valentine's Day, calling the celebration of such a holiday a sin, local media reported Monday.</description><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:13:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Weedy wine</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/19/smbusiness/wine.fsb/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/19/smbusiness/wine.fsb/index.htm</guid><description>"You sure have a lot of weeds." That's how Doug Tunnell describes the reaction of visitors to Brick House Vineyards, his small estate in Newberg, Ore. He points to plants you don't expect to see among the rows of grapevines: a tangle of blackberries overtaking a bed of yellow yarrow. "Only we don't view them as weeds," he says.
