This is the first post in a three-part series about the Bible.
St. Jerome said, "ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." Catholics, unfortunately, have the reputation of not reading the Bible as often as they should. On one hand, a Catholic who attends Mass regularly will be exposed to a large amount of the Bible, but we also should take some personal initiative in reading the Bible. However, simply reading the Bible isn't enough to combat ignorance; you also need to seek to understand it. Here are some things to keep in mind as you try to enhance your understanding Scripture.St. Jerome said, "ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." Click To Tweet
All verses below are taken from the NABRE translation.
- God is the author. Man wrote the Bible through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. While what we're reading may seem confusing or frustrating or ridiculous (trust me, I just worked my way through Leviticus), there is a reason it is there.
- The Bible isn't just one book; it is a collection of books from a variety of genres and literary styles. We can't look at the gospels with the same view as the Psalms. Though both are beautiful and true in their own right, that truth is articulated in different ways.
- Every word in the Bible isn't meant to be interpreted literally. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church*, we find that Scripture is interpreted in two senses: literal and spiritual. From the spiritual, we break it down into allegorical, moral, and anagogical (CCC 115-118).
- Temporal and cultural context matters. There are three time periods we must consider: 1) when the events being described occurred 2) when the events were recorded 3) how they apply now. We also need to recognize that the culture in the Bible was very different from our current culture. One example is the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). In verse 20, we hear that the father ran to him. While it is easy in our modern context to find it odd that a grown man would run to his son, this would be really weird in the culture of that time to have a patriarch do something so utterly undignified. Another example is the Bread of Life Discourse in John 6, specifically, verses 51-58.
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever."
What Jesus is saying is radical to anyone who is reading it; he is telling people to eat his flesh for crying out loud. For the Jewish people, this was an absolutely insane request because God had strictly forbidden them from eating flesh with blood in it (Deuteronomy 12:23). When we recognize that, it adds an extra level of extremeness to it for the original recipients of the message.
- We need to understand the context within Scripture as a whole. We can't just look at single, isolated verses aka cherry-picking. Saint Augustine says "The New Testament lies hidden in the Old and the Old is unveiled in the New." This unity of all Sacred Scripture is important, but even a simple passage can take on different meanings when we don't look at it in its proper context. For example, consider this often quoted verse "Stop judging, that you may not be judged" (Matthew 7:1). If we are just to read that, anyone would be shocked that Christians call out sin. However, just a few verses later (verse 5), it is written "You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye." When we read this passage in full, we understand that we should be helping our brother (or sister) avoid sin, but we must first be cognizant of our own sin because we can't help them properly until we do so. We need to understand the context within Scripture as a whole. Click To Tweet
- Following the teachings of the Bible doesn't mean that we try to live every single verse, especially when looking at the Old Testament. I will explain this in more detail in my post next week based on the different covenants, but a simple answer, for now, is that some things in the Bible were simply recorded, but that doesn't mean they are given to us as requirements.
- Though the number of translations hasn't reduced the accuracy of Scripture, we sometimes need to look back at the Greek or Hebrew to better understand what the full message is. The most straightforward example is the word "love." We have one word for that while the Greeks had a number of different words for love to reflect the different types. We can look at John 21:15-17 where Jesus asks Peter if he loves Him.
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,"Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." He then said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." [Jesus] said to him, "Feed my sheep."
However, when we look at the Greek, Jesus is referencing agape, the highest, purest form of love the first and second time he questions Peter, while Peter is responding with philia, brotherly love. The last time it is asked, Jesus uses philia, too.
- The translation you use does matter. First, you really should be reading the Bible in its entirety, meaning it contains the Deuterocanonical books. If you are coming from a Protestant background, here are two helpful links (1 & 2) on why these books are important. Second, there are differences between complete equivalence and dynamic equivalence. Depending on what you are looking for, one may suit your needs better than another. For example, this year, I am reading the Bible in its entirety and am more focused on the overall meaning so I use a dynamic equivalence translation. If I were to do a more in-depth study, I would look at a complete equivalence with commentary. Third, there are some translations that take a dynamic equivalence too far and turn it into a bad paraphrase things like The Message. For another good explanation on translations, check out this article by Catholic Answers.
- Our personal interpretations can be wrong. It is possible that our own perceptions can overshadow the true meaning of a passage. Fortunately, God is aware of our weaknesses and allows for guidance in Scriptural interpretation. An instructor for a course I was taking on the Creed shared a story about his friend who used to be a Protestant minister.When the minister was leading a Bible study, two men got into an argument about the meaning of a particular verse. One man declared that he was guided by the Holy Spirit due to the gifts he received at baptism so his interpretation was right. The other man responded by saying that he was guided by the Holy Spirit due to the gifts he received at baptism so his interpretation was right. At that point, the minister realized he could not remain a Protestant; he realized he needed to become Catholic. Here are two helpful resources for more information on the authority of Biblical interpretation (1 & 2).
- There is always something new you can get from the Bible. It is impossible to read the Bible too many times. The Bible is the only book where we are in constant and direct communication with the author. It is the living word of God. Take advantage of that and find ways to go deeper into Scripture be it praying through particular verses, looking at reputable commentaries, or seeking more information about it. The Bible is is the living word of God. Click To Tweet

Marta Urban is a self taught lettering artist from Western Pennsylvania.
Interested in lettering and the written word from an early age, she was drawn to studying
and creating illuminated manuscripts.
This eventually led her to research Pennsylvania German Fraktur.
Marta found the naive style and sincere expression of fraktur most intriguing.
This began a desire to create authentic fraktur using essentially the same methods as
were used in the 18th. Century works.
Over the past 27 years, Marta's work has been featured in national publications as well
as retail venues including museum shops, galleries and other fine art markets.

Correction: Of the $149 million in contributions mentioned below, 45 donors contributed only half.
The news and blogging world is buzzing right now about the latest article by the New York Times. Called "Top Companies Aid Chamber of Commerce in Policy Fights", they name names.
Prudential Financial: $2 million; Dow Chemical: $1.7 million; Goldman Sachs, Chevron Texaco, and Ageon, an insurance company based in the Netherlands, donated more than $8 million. And last year insurance companies fed the Chamber $10 million to defeat health care reform.
In 2008 45 donors contributed $149 million in an attempt to defeat a Democratic President, and Democratic Congressional members.

Setting PKGSRC_COMPILER=icc was exactly what was needed. I was confused by the fact that while building misc/screen, the output of bmake only contained references to gcc, which I suppose is in order, given that it is a wrapper that calls icc. So the question is now the dual of my original question! Setting PKGSRC_COMPILER to icc, and not having CC or CXX set in the environment, results in xorg-imake building just fine (using icc...) But - setting PKGSRC_COMPILER to icc and having CC and CXX set to the paths of icc and icpc respectively, causes the build to fail. (See below). Which causes the question: couldn't CC and CXX settings be stripped from the environment, given that everything is wrapped anyway, or would that cause other breakages? /emil make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/obj/x11/xorg-imake/work/xc/config/imake' making imake with BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS= and CROSSCOMPILEFLAGS=-DCROSSCOMPILEDIR="" in config/imake /opt/intel_cc_80/bin/icc -o ccimake -DCROSSCOMPILEDIR=\"\" -O -I../../include -I../../imports/x11/include/X11 ccimake.c icc: error: could not find directory in which g++ resides make[1]: *** [ccimake] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/obj/x11/xorg-imake/work/xc/config/imake' make: *** [imake.proto] Err

In the search to speed up page load, some publishers has been using a creative method to keep the page light and also ensure that the user experience on full desktop site Mashable's AMP page has been spotted in the wild:
Full page: http://mashable.com/2017/03/12/google-project-jacquard-levis-jacket-launch/
AMP page: http://mashable.com/2017/03/12/google-project-jacquard-levis-jacket-launch.amp
Both links delivers the same message but have pros and cons pegged to them:
– Full page loads slower as there's more plugins and ads – this helps the publisher to monetize but the long load time might cause the readers to bounce.
– AMP page loads faster with reduced plugins and has NO ads. Meaning publishers can't monetize with the article.
Check list for this approach:
– ensure rel="canonical" is implemented on the AMP page pointing to the full page
– place a link to feed users back to the full page as the other users might access it through a desktop and the experience would seem half loaded

TTR 4Star Event
09th – 11th November 2012 Schladming/Dachstein
The countdown is on…
Only a few weeks are still between us and the grand season opening at the Dachstein glacier. In a few days' time, a great mix of international and national stars and newcomers will rock the Dachstein at the O'Neill Pleasure Jam powered by Opel. In addition to a superb starting grid, the side events will provide for massive off-contest action: party marathon from Thursday to Sunday, movie screenings, raffles, BBQs and much more – a spectacular event weekend is guaranteed!
All the big names in the international snowboard scene are invited to the 10th anniversary party. Among them is shooting star and defending champion Aimee Fuller. The charming Brit is highly motivated and really looking forward to the season opening:
"I love the O'Neill Pleasure Jam powered by Opel! It's the first contest of the season, everyone has just come back from the summer break and is eager to get back on the board again. The atmosphere is incredible, the contest bursts with highly talented riders, the event crew does a great job and really knows how to throw sick parties! I'm really looking forward to the contest, to seeing many familiar faces and to turning in some nice runs with the girls in the park."
Naturally, Aimee will do her best to defend her title: "I have one or another new trick up my sleeve. But I won't give anything away yet. Guess you'll have to come to the Jam and see for yourselves!"
We're really curious which tricks Aimee will pull out that sleeve of hers. But one thing's for sure, her competition is quite a challenge: Cheryl Maas (NED), Anna Gasser (AUT), Urska Pribosic (SLO), Anna Gyarmati (HUN) – to name but a few – will have a big say in the constellation of the winners' podium. In the men's category, world-class riders such as Eric Beauchemin (USA), Ville Uotilla (FIN), O'Neill team rider Fredrik Evensen (NOR), Jamie Nicholls (GBR), Mathias Weissenbacher (AUT), Marco Grilc (SLO) and Marc Swoboda (AUT) have already confirmed their participation. And there are still more to come!
In addition to a hefty prize money of a total 20.000 USD, there'll be a "Best Trick Award" for all athletes this year. In the event's finals, the judges will determine the "Best Trick", which can either be a technically difficult one or a one that is performed at a high style level. The ladies' respectively men's best trick will be rewarded with a 3 week surf holiday at the Balicamp – including board and lodging, surf coaching and surfboard rental! On top of that, the lucky few receive a flight allowance of 250€ each, sponsored by Sudden Rush and Tobis Travel Solutions.
For more information on the contest, parties, packages and the latest updates check out http://www.pleasurejam.com/ or our Facebook Fanpage!

World Cup and Ballon d'Or winner Fabio Cannavaro believes there's a reason Italy lack great defenders now.
The Azzurri have strong competition for places in midfield and attack, but Cesare Prandelli has a much smaller group to consider at the back.
"In my days we played in the streets and would touch the ball a thousand or two thousand times a day," Cannavaro told Radio Deejay.
"Now they lack that sense memory with the ball. They play for an hour at football school and that's it. We try to teach children tactics at that age, but that can be learned about later, whereas getting a feel for the ball and how to move it has to develop when they are still young.
"I listened to the ideas put forward at Coverciano, but I speak from years of experience. For example, last night in Denmark 2-2 Italy Federico Balzaretti should've been able to stop Nicklas Bendtner jumping so freely. You need to mark in the box, there's no other way around it." Watch highlights of that World Cup qualifier below.
Cannavaro has been impressed by Serie A leaders Roma, who conceded just one goal and scored 20.
"Today you have to defend with 11 men and Roma are the team who are doing that best at the moment. As Ciro Ferrara used to say, you've got to follow the striker even when he goes to the toilet."

Alien Monster Mix and Match is a simple, fun educational matching iPad game for kids or very bored adults.
There are three spin dials of mixed up sections of friendly looking alien faces. Spin the dials to match the face parts and make an alien. You get a cheery "Hooray!", occasionally a simple video of a hippo holding balloons or a monkey with a cupcake hat.
It's very simple – maybe so simple that really it's for very young toddlers or a 5-minute time filler for under fives. There are 11 faces to match.
My (just) four-year-old daughter loved it and played for some time while I was supposed to be getting on with something else – except I couldn't because I was terrified that she'd suddenly hurl the iPad across the room into a wall.
See, Alien Monster Mix and Match works just great on the iPhone (Alien Monster Mix and Match for iPhone review), but it requires a quite vigorous shake to spin its dials to mix up a new turn. While the iPhone would be in some danger a child can/should be able to hold it in their little grasp.
The iPad on the other hand requires both hands and while it wasn't dashed to pieces on the wall I wasn't sufficiently confident to not be at her side throughout her play.
Yes, I know I should be at her side, encouraging, congratulating, etc, but kids don't always want or need you there. They just want to play on their own.
The problem could be solved with a touch option as well as the shake, especially if the parent could set such a preference.
Otherwise it's a fun app and so simple any child with a hand should be able to get started immediately.
Alien Monster Mix and Match - Educational Matching Game: Specs
- Available for Apple iPhone and Apple iPad
- Available for Apple iPhone and Apple iPad
There's not a great deal to Alien Monster Mix and Match, but kids appear to enjoy its simple funny face matching game, and especially spinning the dials each turn. That's worth 59p to most parents. It's a shame then that the shaking involved is potentially ruinous to the iPad. Stick with the iPhone version instead.

Rushmi keen to make it count in London
Tennis player Rushmi Chakravarthi admits she never expected to figure in the Olympics until the wildcard happened, and is keen to make it count now
Rushmi Chakravarthi, who will partner Sania Mirza in the women's doubles event at the London Games thanks to a wildcard, felt that she was destined to play on the hallowed courts of the All England Club at Wimbledon — the tennis venue for the quadrennial event.
The All-India Tennis Association recently managed to procure wildcards for Rushmi and Sania in the women's doubles and Somdev Devvarman in the men's doubles events at the Games.
"I suffered a knee injury last year and missed playing the Fed Cup. I was not even among those shortlisted to partner Sania. But as luck had it Sania's ranking fell to World No 12 and she could not make it to the women's doubles directly due to which the AITA got the two of us wildcards and I got a chance to be a part of the Olympics. There are so many players whose careers end without getting a chance to represent their country at the Games. Besides, playing at Wimbledon is like a dream come true," the Chennai-based player told MiD DAY yesterday.
Tough competition
The 34-year-old veteran, who won a bronze medal with Sania in the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, is aware of the strong women's field in London spearheaded by the Williams sisters (2008 Beijing gold medalists) besides top-ranked American doubles players Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond, and reigning French Open winners from Italy, Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci.
A medal in women's doubles is tough, but Rushmi is determined nevertheless given her previous success with Sania. "The Olympics will have some of the best in the business representing their country, but every time Sania and me have played together, we have had a podium finish. So, this time too we will make every effort to try and do well," added Chakravarthi, who has won 34 ITF doubles and 11 singles titles in her career spanning over two decades.
Though Chakravarthi has never partnered Sania on grass, she hopes to get in some valuable practice before the Games. "Sania has powerful ground strokes and that's her forte. I am working on my fitness to ensure I can match her on court. After the Commonwealth Games we haven't played together, but we have a week before the Games to train and that should be good enough time," she said.
Keen to see Bolt
Beside her own performance, Chakravarthi is excited at the prospect of watching some of the world's best in London, particularly three-time Olympic gold-winning Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt. "Of the many athletes in London, I hope to watch Bolt live in action. I will also keenly follow the Indian hockey team," she signed off.

Sports car in its purest form
By Applan on
Vehicle1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata STO 2dr Convertible
ReviewIn terms of value for money in the sports car category, the Miata has no equals. It is quite simply a pure sports car. Like the British sports cars of the 70s but with excellent reliability. Other reviews have said it is lacking in performance - I'll bet that they are changing gear at under 4000 rpm. You see the Miata begs to be driven hard, you feel its power rising smoothly all the way to red line at 7000 rpm. You can absolutely throw it around corners, and it stays completely flat. Oh and don't believe it if somebody tells you it's a chick car. Take a look around and you'll see that most SUV drivers are chicks, most Miata drivers are not!
Best FeaturesUnbelievable handling, reliability and looks. Even the 16 year old ones still look like a new design. Good mpg.
Worst FeaturesNone - it is perfect. Just go and drive one and you'll see what I mean.

Editor's Note: Ok, ok, already! The commenters have spoken, and you know what? They make some totally valid points. This article, which was originally part opinion piece, part tech guide, has drawn the ire of many a homeowner whose only option is to mount their TV over their fireplace. It was never intended to make anyone feel bad about this decision, only encourage folks to seek an alternative because, at the end of the day, I still maintain that it's something to avoid if you can. With that in mind, I've amended this article to take into consideration several different use case scenarios, and to provide some helpful suggestions if, ultimately, you must mount your TV over your fireplace.
The practice of mounting a TV over a fireplace has somehow become extremely popular in the U.S. If you didn't do it yourself, chances are very good that you know someone who has. Who it was that thought up this idea and why they found it appealing in the first place are two mysteries that will likely follow me to my grave. But that's all in the past now. And since science has yet to crank out a functional time machine that would allow me to preemptively ground the idea before it ever took off, the best I can do at this point is try to persuade you, dear reader, from perpetuating this practice.
Please don't mistake my contempt for TVs over fireplaces as an insult on the sensibilities of those of you who have them setup that way. There's a very good chance you feel you have no other choice. And if you really like it that way? More power to you. At the end of the day, the guilty party is the person(s) who designed your home. They made the fireplace the focal point of your living/entertainment room, and then filled the rest of the joint with windows. Then they made sure power and cable was run to the location directly above your fireplace, virtually placing a big sign that says "install TV here." How unfortunate.
But hold on a moment. Is putting a TV over a fireplace really that poor an idea? Well, it depends. If you can avoid it, you should, and I'll explain why below. But if you must, there are a few things you'll want to know, and a few tips I can offer to help make it the best possible viewing experience.
Heat + electronics = bad
Electronics don't care for heat, and they care for smoke even less. Ever seen the windows inside the car of a cigarette smoker? Unless the smoking driver is an equally habitual window washer, those windows are covered with a hazy film of filth. Exposed to the smoke of burning wood, the same film can build up on the components inside the cabinet of a TV. You may not see the particulate when you have a fire, but it is there (you can smell it). If you burn wood — even with the flue open and fully functional — there will be a small amount of smoke and particulate emitted. And once that particulate builds up, so does the heat generated by the TV.
I have a wood burning stove, and the heat generated by that thing (that's what it was designed to do) is enough to melt candles placed several feet above on the mantle. For me, mounting over this area is a death wish for my TV.
Neck headaches become a problem when you start protruding your chin forward with that "looking up" posture.
To make sure I wasn't just blowing smoke (sorry), I spoke to Brian Sevigny, owner of Portland, Oregon-based A/V installation service, Digital Connex. He told me he gets asked to install TV's over fireplaces frequently. When I asked him if he encouraged or discouraged the practice, he was quick to jump in. "Discourage," said Sevigny firmly, " primarily because of the heat and the smoke."
Most electronic devices simply operate best and most reliably at lower temperatures. Beyond that, excessive heat can cause temperature-sensitive materials to degrade quickly, and conductive materials can even sprout little metal whiskers, causing shorts within the TVs circuitry.
However, if you have a more conventional wood burning fireplace — and especially if you have a gas fireplace insert — the fact is you are probably going to be just fine. That TV may die earlier than it had to, but you will probably replace that TV before it dies anyway.
It's a pain in the neck
This is an issue I've experienced many times myself as a guest at friends' houses and various vacation rentals. I've also heard complaints from many others I know. Still, I have been informed that, for some of you, neck pain from watching an elevated TV has never been a problem. If you are in the latter camp, please feel free to move right along, and congratulations on your superior spinal support. For the rest of you, please read on.
Placing a TV above a fireplace moves the image you're trying to watch well above eye level. Think back to the last time you went to the movie theater and had to sit in one of the front three rows. Chances are you walked out of the theater with a stiff neck. Craning your neck into an unnatural position for any extended period of time is going to cause temporary discomfort, but doing so for even short periods of time day after day can have lasting effects, like chronic headaches.
I spoke to Brad Simpson, a physical therapist and Clinical Director at Life's Work Physical Therapy. Brad's clinic treats patients with multiple types of musculoskeletal problems and is an expert in ergonomics; he says that repeatedly sitting in an unnatural position will have lasting repercussions.
"It ends up putting your body in a position where your deep-neck stabilizers, muscle-wise — it's kind of like the core of your lower back, but up in your neck — aren't able to function. That position where you're having to push your head forward and up in order to look up at the television compromises those muscles," Simpson says. "Having your head forward like that causes a shearing force within your mid-cervical spine. That's where a lot of pain ends up coming from … you lose the ability for your neck to stabilize."
And muscle pain isn't the only thing you can suffer from. "Headaches are a huge problem in our population, and neck headaches become a problem as well when you start protruding your chin forward with that 'looking up' posture." Simpson also indicated this poor posture leads to improper breathing, which causes us to overuse certain muscles which become yet another source of pain. My takeaway from our interview: It's not worth the pain.
Six degrees of separation from a beautiful picture
On this issue, there is no debate. I review upwards of 30 TVs per year, and the viewing angle on LED/LCD TVs remains a big problem, even among top-tier TVs.
An LCD screen (which is what you find on "LED" TVs) is essentially made up of a bunch of tiny, shuttered windows. These windows open and close in order to let the TV's backlight through, thus creating an image. The problem with these windows is that they have a very limited viewing angle. If you move too far left, right, up, or down you start seeing a fraction of the produced light. The result is a washed out, lifeless picture — hardly what you had in mind when you laid out hard-earned cash for a new TV.
The result is a washed out, lifeless picture — hardly what you had in mind when you laid out hard-earned cash for a new TV.
The good news here is that you do have some options to mitigate this problem. The first is to buy a tilting wall mount with enough down angle to give you a more direct view of the screen. There are even motorized mounts that will drop the TV down closer to your eye level (make sure not to have the fireplace going, though). Either option will improve both color saturation and contrast.
The second option is to purchase an OLED TV, which has a nearly infinite viewing angle and will look amazing no matter how high you place the TV. There are plenty of other reasons why OLED wins in an OLED vs. LED TV battle. If an OLED TV isn't an option for you, considering an LED TV that uses an IPS LCD panel.
It's just not cute
To be totally frank, I have the design-sense of a color-blind hippopotamus (no offense intended to hippopotamuses, but they do spend a lot of time in the mud — just saying). Having accepted my utter lack of skills in the decor department long ago, I reached out to Garrison Hullinger, owner of Garrison Hullinger Interior Design, and asked him if he had a TV mounted over his fireplace. "No, I live in a 100-plus-year-old home and would never put a TV in my formal living room over the fireplace," Hullinger told me. "We also have a beach house with a fireplace in the formal living room, and choose not to hang a TV in that room."
Again, though, most modern homes have rooms built around this idea. Hullinger told me about 25 percent of the homes he's walked into had one location that was wired and ready for a TV over the fireplace. Installer Brian Sevigny echoed that estimation when he told me that almost all of the new construction he's seen "will have electrical and coax connections already installed above the fireplace."
In the end, this is pure opinion, but one that is shared by many others. Take it as you will.
But I have to or want to anyway. What can I do to make the best of it?
In my ideal world — and, granted, I'm a TV snob so my viewpoint is slanted — you would place your TV in another room purpose built for enjoying TV, and maybe make music the focus of your main living area. However, most homes just aren't designed that way, and your priorities are likely vastly different than my own. If you like the idea and look of mounting your TV over your fireplace, or if you simply have no other choice, here's a few suggestions to make the best of it.
- Sit further back if you can — As you move away from the TV's location, the severity of the angle to which you must crane your neck is reduced.
- Lounge it out! — Kick back and relax when you watch TV. You'll eliminate the need to crane your neck entirely.
- Use a tilting or motorized wall mount — Altering the TVs angle to get a more direct view of the TV will improve picture quality
- Purchase an OLED TV — In addition to providing an outstanding picture and a super-thin profile, OLED TVs have no viewing-angle problems
- Don't have a fire and watch TV at the same time — The flicker of the fire and added brightness in a darkened room can play with your pupils and strain your eyes while watching. It's also a bit of a distraction. If the two are close together, perhaps enjoy just one or the other at a time.
- Hire a professional installer — Not only will a professional be able to handle cable management for a clean install, they'll come armed with other helpful suggestions to make the most of your TV installation

Undisclosed Doors
The new school of Paris bars is almost too cool to mention
THERE IS SOMETHING of a revolution in Paris, and it is taking place behind unmarked doors, down dimly lit roads; its protagonists—more often than not—tattooed, unshaven gentlemen bearing bottles of small-batch liquor and swizzle sticks.
Paris has always been famous for certain drinking holes—think the Ritz's Hemingway Bar (currently closed) and countless other €34-euro-a-pop hotel bars—but it's more renowned for its wine bars. Yet a new breed of bar owners have revived the art of the cocktail, putting them center stage....

The assistant manager of The Works bookshop in Watford, Hertfordshire, had to spend the rest of the morning fending off angry parents and their crestfallen offspring desperate to find out the fate of the boy wizard.
'The delivery people just didn't get around to us,' Baker said. 'Customers have been saying you've got the poster in the window, so why are there no books? There are a lot of disappointed children.' Reflecting on the distinctly unmagical experience, she added, sighing: 'I've certainly had enough of Harry Potter for the moment.'
The shop's modest stock of 36 copies arrived by late morning and quickly began to sell at £8.95 each. But across town, the Asda superstore was selling copies for £5, a loss-leading price which has been criticised for hurting the independent sector. At midnight, when the book went on sale, there was a queue stretching about 1,200 yards and, within the first hour, 1,000 copies had been sold. Nationwide, Asda shifted 250,000 copies by 9am, half of its entire stock. It was a scene being played out the world over. The seventh and final instalment of the Potter saga looked certain to break records as the fastest-selling book ever. The novelist Tibor Fischer noted: 'I doubt a lost novel by Shakespeare with a cover painted by Michelangelo could generate this much excitement.'
In the early hours yesterday WH Smith was selling 15 books per second. Waterstone's shifted 100,000 in the first two hours and was continuing to sell 40,000 per hour as the day wore on. A spokeswoman for the publisher, Bloomsbury, said: 'Last time we sold two million copies in the first 24 hours. We are thinking it might go over three million in the first 24 hours this time.'
One of the first to finish the book was British speed reader Anne Jones, who read all 199,900 words, on 607 pages, in 47 minutes and one second. It is believed that she set a new world record.

Just My Opinion by Steve
It's embarrassing to make the same mistake twice. But I have, and paid the price. Twice.
I have a small tube in front of me. The largest letters on the tube say "Chap Stick". I can read that without my glasses. Below that, in letters so small that I can't read it without glasses, the word "medicated", and below that in letters slightly larger, but still requiring glasses, "Cold Sore Therapy".
In my opinion, the words "Cold Sore Therapy" should be the largest on the tube. Just my opinion.

You would think that it'll take some time for the Ducks to work Jason Blake into a lineup that has for the most part been together since training camp.
Not in Randy Carlyle's mind. It is sink or swim time for the 36-year-old winger.
"I don't think it's really much of a process," Carlyle said today after the team's morning skate. "You just put him in.
"It's not like you're adding a young player into your group. You're adding a veteran guy that's played numerous games in the league and scored 40-plus goals. Again, that's a little different transition for a player like that than it is a young player."
Blake spent his first game on a reconstituted second line with Saku Koivu and Teemu Selanne. But while he said he didn't feel the line played particularly well and committed too many turnovers, Carlyle wants to give the trio some time to create some chemistry.
"Offensive players, you have to allow them a little bit more freedom in those areas," he said. "We feel that the combination of Blake, Selanne and Koivu should be able to provide us with a certain level of offense. Thinking it and living it is two different things.
"We just think if we stay patient and they stay with the structure and play to their level, that they should be able to do that for us."
Carlyle said Blake's arrival gives him some options that weren't there previously.
"We think that the addition of Blake can add to our team speed and give up another top-six forward in our grouping," he said. "Maybe it'll allow us to change. Instead of going with two lines primarily with offense, maybe [you] spread it out to three lines."
— When it comes to shootouts, Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry are usually called up first. But you can now add defenseman James Wisniewski to the mix after he scored in first two attempts to win games in St. Louis and Tampa Bay on the recent road trip.
"He must have told you he was a weapon," Carlyle said. "But you can't take it away from the guy. The guy scored two shootout winners for you. As he's going to ride the wave, we're going to put him in the situation if it happens again."
Here's the line combinations and defense pairings, although I'll admit the fourth line has a lot more guesswork than usual:
Bobby Ryan-Ryan Getzlaf-Corey Perry
Jason Blake-Saku Koivu-Teemu Selanne
Todd Marchant-Kyle Chipchura-Troy Bodie
Matt Beleskey or Evgeny Artyukhin-Ryan Carter-George Parros or Mike Brown
Scott Niedermayer-James Wisniewski
Ryan Whitney-Steve Eminger
Brett Festerling-Sheldon Brookbank

My husband apparently read this post on Ethan Stowell's recipes in Food and Wine, because he greeted me at the door with this pan of eggplant parmesan, which turned out to be fantastic. (Full disclosure: He also made the pork posole, but it was bland — I keep thinking bone-in meat would have improved it.) The eggplant, though, was piquant and saucy, soft in all the right places and crisp where it counted. Cheesy, but not gloppy. I'm renaming it "The Spouse Pleaser."
"If eggplant parmesan in restaurants was like this, I'd order it in restaurants," my husband said. I'm guessing it's pretty good if it ever hits the menu here.
You could just click through to F&W, but I'll spare you the trouble. Save the energy for the recipe, which does take some time:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus about 2 cups for frying
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
2 28-ounce cans whole, peeled Italian tomatoes, drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 small eggplants (1/2 pound each), cut lengthwise 1/2 inch thick
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped basil
1 pound lightly salted fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced and torn into small pieces
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
In a large skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderate heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Using your hands, crush the whole tomatoes into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is very thick, about 25 minutes. Transfer the tomato sauce to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, in a very large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of olive oil. Season the eggplant slices with salt and pepper. Working in several batches, cook the eggplant over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden on both sides, about 8 minutes per batch; add more olive oil to the skillet between batches. Drain the eggplant slices on paper towels.
Preheat the oven to 400°. Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce in a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Arrange one-third of the fried eggplant slices in the baking dish and sprinkle all over with 1 tablespoon of the chopped basil. Top with one-third of the torn mozzarella and sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Repeat this layering twice. Sprinkle the bread crumbs all over the top of the eggplant Parmesan. Bake in the upper third of the oven for about 45 minutes, until the top of the eggplant Parmesan is golden and the tomato sauce is bubbling. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Poll: Who won big in this year's NFL Draft?
How are you feeling about your team's draft? Did you leave Saturday's activity happy and contented that you're on the road to dominance and a berth in New Orleans? Or, is there an obvious hole that you feel was neglected?

Gary Bettman's awkward Hall of Fame speech touches on NHL's 'difficult times'
Should Gary Bettman have spoken at the 2012 Hockey Hall of Fame induction?
Of course not. He's the single most divisive figure in the NHL, seen as the catalyst for an embarrassing lockout that's kept the game at a standstill in North America — the third work stoppage of his tenure. His presence could only take those in attendance out of their moment of nostalgic bliss, snapping them back into the cold reality of the NHL's sad current state.
Even if you buy the counterargument that Bettman's absence would have been even more conspicuous, there's no denying his brief appearance on Monday night was all sorts of awkward.
(And if a photo's worth 1,000 words, here are 1,000 words on Bettman's speech.)
Bettman's speech honored the four inductees, lauding "four legendary scorers. Four outstanding leaders who hail from four different parts of the hockey world."
It also made cursory mention of the lockout in his speech. Via ESPN.com:
"Being here in this great Hall, the sanctuary of our game, celebrates everything that is good and right about hockey," Bettman said during his speech.
"Even in difficult times, we find ourselves reassured to be here to recognize ultimate achievements on the ice. All of us — fans, teams and players — look forward to the time the game returns there."
Read Nick Cotsonika's coverage from the Hockey Hall of Fame induction, including Joe Sakic, Adam Oates and Mats Sundin on the year they lost in the last lockout.

Groups drop net neutrality suit: Free Press dropped its lawsuit over the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules Monday, the Hill reported, saying that it has decided that there are better ways to use its resources.
The group had previously complained that the agency's rules did not go far enough to enforce an open Internet because it did not provide the same protections to wireless Internet access as it did to wired Internet access.
The agency also faces complaints from Internet service providers that the rules go too far. On Monday, Verizon Communications filed a brief asking the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to overturn the rules, the Hill reported.
Google antitrust: Google sought to defuse a wide-ranging antitrust investigation in Europe on Monday with a proposal addressing claims that the company was using its power over the Internet search market to squeeze competitors in other industries. As The Washington Post reported, Google put forward the proposal in response to the European Commission's findings that Google's search practices may have included "abuses of dominance."
Google said in a statement that it has made a proposal to address the commission's concerns, but did not elaborate on what, exactly, the proposal entails.
911 problems persist: Fairfax County's 911 emergency center was running at half capacity Monday after a storm blew through the Washington area. The center, which relies on Verizon's service, was knocked out in the storm after the carrier's primary and backup systems both failed.
Verizon is restoring service, but state and local lawmakers have raised concerns that the center's primary and redundant systems could have been knocked out.
House subpanel ponders cloud hearing: In the aftermath of the storm that swept through the region Friday and knocked out Amazon servers that power cloud services such as Netflix, Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.) told The Washington Post that she hopes to schedule a hearing to take a close look at the government's plans to move to the cloud.
"Last week's powerful thunderstorms, along with the massive disruptions they caused, exposed some of the vulnerabilities of cloud computing,"Bono Mack said in a statement. "But I also believe the problems extend way beyond consumer convenience and customer service. There are some serious privacy issues which we need to look at as well."
Twitter releases government request data: Twitter released a report detailing requests its had from the U.S. and other governments, revealing that it had complied with 75 percent of the 679 requests for information it received from the U.S. government. The United States requested the most data from the company, leading the list by a wide margin. Japan was second with 98 requests, followed by the British and Canadian governments, which both filed 11 requests. All other countries on the list asked for information 10 or fewer times since January 1.
The list came shortly after reports that a New York judge ordered the company to release three months of tweets from an Occupy Wall Street protester.

The first question asked of proponents of this method of dispute resolution, is usually, what is mediation? The answer very simply is that mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution in which a neutral third party who has nothing to gain from the outcome of the dispute ,sits with the parties to the dispute and guides them in the resolution of the matter using particular skills which are usually certified. The mediator is not a judge and so does not settle the matter for the parties; instead she or he aids them in coming to resolutions of their own, so that the final agreement is of their own creation.
The use of mediation as a means of settlement of disputes has become a part of the mainstream of sophisticated legal systems worldwide. This is hardly surprising since these organized systems rely on efficiency and accuracy to make them work. Where mediation is part of the legal system, litigants may be referred to mediation to settle certain aspects of a dispute , and having reached such a settlement ,notice of it is given to the judge who will make it into a court order, this is known as court connected mediation. For example, in divorce matters a husband and wife might be referred to mediation to settle the issues of partitioning of property, in some parts of the world this is mandatory , as in the state of New York, United States of America.
This form of dispute settlement is found to be far more efficient, cost effective and satisfying to the applicants because a lot more can be said and dealt with in such circumstances than in litigation. While most people are fed a diet of the fantasy of winning and losing a court battle the harsh realities are far less palatable to most who experience the system. It takes a significant amount of fortitude to have one's personal life dragged into open court along with accusations and vilification which will come from the other side. The idea in litigation is to convince a judge and jury using any method possible and necessary that one party's rights are greater than the other, and so it is often said that he who has the better lawyer wins the case.
Mediation is guided by rules and regulations aimed at creating an environment conducive to productive discussions in which each party is given the same amount of time to disclose their side of the issue. The mediator will then ask questions and guide the conversation so that the parties can work their way through their problems and come up with viable solutions. Mediation is a particularly popular form of conflict resolution because it can be done almost anywhere, from a living room to under a mango tree. In Jamaica community mediations have aided significantly in resolving disputes between gang members and between gangs and communities which eventually led to the dissolution of several gangs. The formula then seems to be that where people can have their grievances aired there is less likelihood of conflict becoming confrontation and confrontation becoming war. The formulation of mediation is based on respect for all the parties involved , it therefore does not matter if you have a famous lawyer or none at all, in fact lawyers for the parties are present only at court connected mediations and at that time only in the capacity of advisor to their client. The lawyer's intervention is minimal or non- existent and the mediator has absolute control of the proceedings. Community or private mediations use the same rules as that of the court connected systems and parties come to those sessions with the understanding that the onus rests upon them to settle the matter for their own benefit ,since further conflict would be costly and most times create discomfort and unhappiness in the lives of the parties. The power of mediation lies in giving individuals the ability to make their own decisions and to have control of their lives, it is used to resolve complex contractual disputes between huge international companies , political disputes in war torn territories and simple issues of sale and purchase of consumer goods. This system is less stressful, less expensive , more manageable and less time consuming than litigation and leaves the parties feeling less anxious and unhappy in the long term.
The public will find mediations useful to resolve issues of landlord and tenancy, sale and purchase, contractual matters, family issues, consumer rights problems, occupational safety, employment law and contract and medical issues and a whole range of other concerns. It is not a panacea, but is recognised world -wide for its ability to manage conflict. It is entirely voluntary and so no one can be forced to attend a session and parties still retain the right to resort to litigation if it does not work. Though it should be noted that the rules of the Common Law or those laid down by Statute can be far harsher on litigants than compromises reached on their own. It is for this reason that mediation should be a first resort to settling of disputes.

A 2-year-old boy drowned in a pond near his Bulloch County home Friday.
Bulloch County Sheriff's deputies were called to 35 B.L. Kendrick Road in Stilson around 11 a.m. for a report of a missing child, according to Sheriff Lynn M. Anderson.
Timothy and Robin Simpson told deputies they last saw their son, Camden Oliver, about an hour earlier in his bedroom.
After an extensive search failed to find the boy, law enforcement decided to pump a nearby pond. About three hours later, police found the boy's body, the sheriff said. The body was turned over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for an autopsy. The drowning is under investigation by the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office.
