The right sconce can create a welcoming glow, and accentuate furniture and architecture, Garlough says. “Used to frame furnishings like beds and sofas, sconces can give your room a high-end, custom feel, and they make furniture look like it really belongs in the space,” she says. Popular locations for sconces include the master bedroom, where they create a hotel- chic vibe, next to bathroom mirrors, around kitchen cabinetry or in hallways. Outdoors, a sconce provides great mood lighting on a wall or fence. Wood likes sconces with an articulating arm. “It frees the light from a single illumination point, in a similar fashion to a task lamp,” he says. There are also versions that reach some distance from the wall, illuminating corners that other lighting can’t. “Brass and oiled bronze sconces are especially popular, as are midcentury-style globe sconces,” says Garlough. At Joss & Main, the Gulvason articulating sconce comes in several metallic finishes, including brass and polished nickel; it can be installed or plugged in, which is handy if you aren’t able to hard-wire anything.

PRESEASON Brady, Patriots beat Eagles FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady shook off the rust of a long layoff and then found time to shake hands with Nick Foles, six months after they met in the Super Bowl. Brady moved the Patriots with ease in their rematch against the Eagles, with a little help from running back James White. Foles left with a shoulder injury after giving up a strip sack that led to Ja’Whaun Bentley’s scoop and score, but the reigning Super Bowl MVP stuck around to get his long-awaited congratulations from the reigning NFL MVP after New England’s 37-20 win Thursday night. “That was kind of made up to me because that was never my inten- tion. I wouldn’t be a bad sport,” said Brady, who never made it to Foles for a handshake after the Eagles’ 41-33 victory in the Super Bowl. “I have a lot of respect for Nick. I know how hard it is to win that last game. They did it, congratulations to them.” In his first action since losing in the NFL title game, Brady led New England to scores on four of the six series he played, completing 19 of 26 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns to help stake New England to a 27-7 halftime lead. “It’s the first time having to do that in about six months,” Brady said after Brian Hoyer finished up the victory. “I feel like my timing could be better in certain areas. I’ve been doing this or a long time, so a lot of it is second nature at this point.” EAGLES QBS Morgan Hurd practices on the balance beam during a training session at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2018, in Boston.

Hopefully there’s no issues.” Coach Doug Pederson said Foles will be evaluated Friday. “I’m going to wait until I speak to my doctors,” Pederson said. Foles finished 3 for 9 for 44 yards.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 17, 2018: This year you tend to use tension as a motivator. However, you can get locked into a point of view and have difficulty gaining a broader perspective. Let others know about some of your dreams that you would like to bring to fruition. If you are By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker single, you radiate a unique intensity, and DUSTIN others cannot stay away from you. You have quite a choice of suitors. If you are attached, the two of you often trigger each other. You have the key to handling the issue. SCORPIO sees you as transparent. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might believe that someone is speaking gibberish. Although this isn’t true, this person doesn’t seem to connect the dots as you would. Don’t worry; keep smiling, Mark Buford and your interactions with this person will SCARY GARY work out. Financial gain is possible here. Tonight: Happiest as a duo. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Defer to others, and be optimistic about an offer. Others will seek you out, as they enjoy your company. If you are in a committed relationship, make sure to dote on your significant other. You don’t want to upset this person. Tonight: Out and about, strutting your stuff. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Crosswords HHH When the cat’s away, the mouse will play. You have acted like a mouse with DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni an absent cat nearly all week. Now you are faced with an enormous amount to catch up on. Dive right in rather than quarrel. You might be surprised by how much you accomplish. Tonight: Out late. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use today to finish last-minute details for a project. You could be surprised by a loved one; the caring and attention he or she gives you mean a lot. You begin to see the makings of several caring days. Go along with a demand from a loved one. Tonight: Christen the weekend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your instinct might be to stay close to home. If so, you are right to listen to your B.C. Mastroianni and Hart intuition. Others will find you should they need you. On the other hand, you might opt to squeeze in some R and R. As a result, you are likely to feel more vibrant. Tonight: At a favorite restaurant. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You might not communicate as well as you’d like to. You feel as if you are speaking a foreign language and that people don’t seem to “get it.” Take charge of a changeable set of plans. Listen to what oth- ers want. Somehow you will make it all work. Tonight: Speak your mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Before you say “yes” to someone, ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie make sure you really want to. Honor a change of heart. Remain secure in what you need to do. Be clear about your desires. Remain open in conversations. Make sure your budget is as tight as you’d like. Tonight: Treat a friend to TGIF. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Beam in more of what you want. You have the charisma and energy to hit a home run. Do not allow someone to change plans or cause a problem.
