Son of Calpurnius. Chosen 18th pope in 230. Ended the schism of Hippolytus and reconciled the schismatics with the Church. Exiled with Saint Hippolytus by emperor Maximinus Thrax to Sardinia and sentenced to work in the mines, he abdicated the papacy on 28 September 235 so a new man could lead the Church.

Third century imperial Roman soldier assigned to guard Christian prisoners. Converted by them to the faith. Martyred for assisting at the burial of some his martyred charges.
Due to a clerical error, Hippolytus was inadvertently listed as two people, Hippolytus of Rome and Hippolytus of Porto, on some calendars. The second entry had the feast day of 22 August. This problem was corrected in the calendar revision of 1969.

• Jacob Gapp
• Jakub Gapp
Seventh child in the working class family of Martin Gapp and Antonia Wach. Received a basic education in his native town, then entered the Franciscan high school in Hall in 1910. Austrian soldier on the Italian front from May 1915 till he was wounded in 1916; received the silver medal of Courage Second Class. On 4 November 1918 he became a prisoner of war in Riva del Garda; released on 18 August 1919.
After the War, he entered the Marianist novitiate at Greisinghof, Upper Austria in 1921. Assigned to the Marian Institute in Graz as a teacher and sacristan for four years, while preparing for the seminary. Made his profession at Antony, France on 27 August 1925. In September 1925 Jakob entered the International Marianist Seminary in Fribourg, Switzerland. Ordained by Bishop Marius Besson at Saint Nicholas Cathedral in Fribourg on 5 April 1930.
Back in Austria he worked as a teacher, director of religious education, and chaplain in Marianist schools till 1938. Economic conditions were terrible; Father Gapp collected food and other necessities from students, and gave his own heating coal to the poor.
Nazism was on the rise in Germany and Austria. Father Gapp saw the incompatibility of Nazism and Christianity, and began preaching this truth. When German troops arrived in Austria in March 1938, he left Graz. His superiors sent him home as they believed his anti-Nazi preaching would bring on the wrath of the Reich; but his institutions were already marked for destruction.
In Tirol he enjoyed the last moments of peace in his life. He was an assistant pastor in Breitenwang-Reutte for two months when the Gestapo, in October 1938, ordered him not to teach religion. Father Gapp taught uncompromising love for all men and women without reference to nationality or religion, and that "God is your God, not Adolf Hitler." In a sermon on 11 December 1938 he defended Pope Pius XI against the attacks of the Nazis, and directed the faithful of the parish to read Catholic literature instead of Nazi propaganda. He was advised to leave the country.
He escaped to Bordeaux, France, where he worked as a chaplain and librarian. In May 1939 he went to Spain where he served in the Marianist communities at San Sebastian, Cadiz and Valencia. The Gestapo followed him, and in 1942 he received word of two people across the border in France who claimed to be Jews fleeing from Nazis in Berlin, Germany, and who wanted instruction in Catholicism. When he crossed into France to minster to them, they abducted him.
Father Gapp was arrested on 9 November 1942 in Hendaye, France, and brought to Berlin. On 2 July 1943 he was condemned to death for speaking against the Reich. Burial of his remains were denied as the Nazis feared he would be seen as a martyr, and his grave become a site of silent demonstration and rebellion. On the afternoon of 13 August 1943 he was advised he would executed that night. He wrote two moving farewell letters, and was martyred.

• Carlo Domenico Cristofori
• Marco D'Aviano
• Marco of Aviano
Son of Marco Pasquale Cristofori and Rosa Zanoni. Educated at home and at the Jesuit school in Gorizia, Italy. He was especially fascinated with stories of the saints. At age 16 he left home to walk to Crete, where Venice was at war with the Ottoman Turks; he planned to preaching Christianity to Muslims and take his chance on martyrdom. After a few days of hiking, he stopped at the Capuchin house in Capodistria (modern Kopar, Slovenia), seeking food and shelter. The brothers took him in, fed him, prayed with him, and advised him to return home, which he did.
His time at the monastery affected Carlo deeply, and in 1648 he became a Capuchin novice at Conegliano, Italy. He made his formal vows in 1649, taking the name Mark. Ordained on 18 September 1655 at Chioggia, Italy. He lived several years in the cloister, but in 1664 he was called to missionary duty, preaching throughout Italy. Elected superior of the Belluno, Italy house in 1672. Elected superior of the Oderzo, Italy house in 1674.
On 8 September 1676, while preaching at a monastery in Padua, Italy, Mark prayed over Sister Vincenza Francesconi, who had been bed-ridden for 13 years; she was miraculously healed. Word spread, and while he continued preaching, Mark was soon beseiged by people seeking miracles; many were healed, and many were brought to the faith.
His fame led his to become counselor on religious and political matters to Leopold I, emperor of Austria for nearly two decades. Papal legate and Apostolic Nuncio to Austria for Pope Blessed Innocent XI. He secured the release of Vienna from the Ottoman Turks on 12 September 1683. Travelled with the army from 1683 to 1689 as advisor and chaplain to soldiers of all ranks. He helped negotiate the liberation of Buda on 2 September 1686, and of Belgrade on 6 September 1688. He worked as a peacemaker throughout Europe, bringing unity to warring Catholic powers, educating them on the threat posed by the Ottoman's - and never letting them forget that all wise counsel was given by God.
Legend has it that when the Ottomans fled before the European army, they left behind a lot of their strong, bitter coffee. The Christian soldiers, to make this liberated coffee more palatable, mixed it with honey and milk; they named the drink after Mark's Order, the Capuchins, and thus cappuccino was created.

God knows that the scope of all of my works is only to do His will. My only interest is God's glory and the good of souls. I am always an obedient son of Holy Mother Church and am ready to shed my blood and give my life for Her. - Blessed Mark of Aviano
Blessed Mark of Aviano shone with holiness as his soul burned with a longing for prayer, silence and adoration of God's mystery. This contemplative who journeyed along the highways of Europe was the centre of a wide-reaching spiritual renewal, thanks to his courageous preaching that was accompanied by numerous miracles. An unarmed prophet of divine mercy, he was impelled by circumstances to be actively committed to defending the freedom and unity of Christian Europe. Blessed Mark of Aviano reminds the European continent, opening up in these years to new prospects of cooperation, that its unity will be sounder if it is based on its common Christian roots. - Pope John Paul II in his homily at the beatification of Blessed Mark of Aviano
• Maximus of Constantinople
• Maximus Confessor
• Maximus the Theologian
• Maximus Homogoletes
Born to the Byzantine nobility. Chief secretary to Emperor Heraclius, a post he resigned to become a monk at Chrysopolis. Spiritual student of Saint Sophronius. Abbot of Chrysopolis. His community broke up in 626 due to Persian invasion. Maximus fled to Alexandria, Egypt, then to Carthage, and then Rome, Italy. Worked with Pope Martin I against Monothelist heresy, and attended the Lateran Council of 649.
Falsely accused of treason due to his defense of orthodox Christianity, he was arrested and forcibly returned to Constantinople. He spent years in prison misery, and at age 82 received his final sentence: he was flogged, his tongue cut out, his right hand cut off, he was exhibited in the streets as an example to the people, and was sent into exile at Skhemeris on the Black Sea, where he died soon after. He is best remembered today for his mystical, ascetical, and theological writings, and for his steadfast belief that the purpose of all history was the Incarnation.

The extremities of the earth, and all in every part of it who purely and rightly confess the Lord look directly towards the most holy Roman Church and its confession and faith, as it were to a sun of unfailing light, awaiting from it the bright radiance of the sacred dogmas of our Fathers according to what the six inspired and holy councils have purely and piously decreed, declaring most expressly the symbol of faith. For from the coming down of the incarnate Word amongst us, all the Churches in every part of the world have held that greatest Church alone as their base and foundation, seeing that according to the promise of Christ our Saviour, the gates of hell do never prevail against it, that it has the keys of a right confession and faith in Him, that it opens the true and only religion to such as approach with piety, and shuts up and locks every heretical mouth that speaks injustice against the Most High. - Saint Maximus To harbor no envy, no anger, no resentment against an offender is still not to have charity for him. It is possible, without any charity, to avoid rendering evil for evil. But to render, spontaneously, good for evil - such belongs to a perfect spiritual love. - Saint Maximus

I want to use one set of tables, which is filled through an xml-feed to populate two almost identical installs, one in root, one in a subfolder. It has to be a multilanguage solution, where wpml simply won't work. The site is managed through one admin, the other one is hardly used. There will be no manual posts or pages made, so no crossposting is expected.
I found this old post, but found it outdated. Anyone out there who is able to enlighten me how this can be coded in 3.3 of 3.3.1?
Nevermind, I think I found it thanks top this site :
(link outdated) http://www.wiseontech.com/hack/wordpress-hacking-multiple-blogs-on-one-set-of-tables-2
Down in the comments they refer to more modern installs. I did this:
Edit the wp-db.php file in the wp-includes directory.
In the function set_prefix($prefix) section
After :
foreach ( $this->tables as $table )
$this->$table = $this->prefix . $table;
Added :
$this->options = 'wp_' . 'options';
Or whatever your new prefix is. Testing now, I'll write again if I experience any issues. This is a case of spending 4 hours a few nights ago, and going around in circles. Then after only 20 minutes of trying tonight, getting it working. The benefits of rest apparently.
Here is the rest of the code you would need in addition to the 'options' for all of the tables in wordpress.
$this->posts = 'wp_' . 'posts';
$this->categories = 'wp_' . 'categories';
$this->options = 'wp2_' . 'options';
$this->links = 'wp2_' . 'links';

Chapter One Day 1
The Little Brother
Before You Begin Read Matthew 4:18-22
Stop and Consider
Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. (v. 21)
What were you doing when Jesus first came to you? What ordinary things occupied your time and attention? __________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
In what ways might your nature and background be similar to John's? Or in what ways could your two experiences not possibly be any more unlike? __________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
The people we will come to know together in this book were Jews at a time when Judaism had perhaps never been more Jewish. By this expression I mean that although they were under Roman rule, they enjoyed significant freedom to live out their culture. They were firmly established in their land and had their temple. Every sect of religious life was functioning at full throttle: the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the teachers of the law, to name only a few.
Life in the Galilean villages of Capernaum and Bethsaida must have seemed light-years away from the hub of religious life and Herod's temple in Jerusalem, but one thing varied little from Hebrew to Hebrew: YHWH was life. Provider, Sustainer, Sovereign Creator of all things. (YHWH is the divine name of God, never pronounced by the Jews; in English it is often referred to as Yahweh or Jehovah.) To them, to have little thought of God was to have little thought at all.
Our John the apostle came from the rural land to the north. If the more sophisticated Jew in the Holy City thought the simple settlers on the Sea of Galilee envied him, he was sorely mistaken. Neither was without the inevitable troubles that make living part of life. Each had his preferences. Each had a point of view. One awakened to the brilliance of the sun dancing off the gleaming walls of the temple. The other saw the sun strolling on the surface of the lake. A fisherman would have been hard to convince that the glory of God dwelled more powerfully in a building made of stone than in a bright pink and purple sunset over the Sea of Galilee. I know this for a fact. I live with a fisherman.
Two pairs of sons grew up not far from each other on the northern tip of the Sea of Galilee. Four pairs of feet earned their calluses on the pebbles of a familiar shore. From the time their sons were knee-high to them, Zebedee and Jonah were responsible not only for making sure their rambunctious offspring didn't drown but also for harnessing their insatiable curiosity with their trades. The fathers were the walking day-care centers for their sons, and their sons' mothers would be expecting them home in one piece before dusk or after a long night of fishing.
Peter, Andrew, James, and John. They were trees planted by streams of water being raised to bring forth their own fruit in season (Ps. 1:3). If those fathers had only known what would become of their sons, I wonder if they would have raised them any differently. Come to think of it, I doubt it. They were simple men with one simple goal: to teach their sons all they knew.
Our task is to piece together what our protagonist's life might have been like in childhood and youth before a Lamb came and turned it upside down. We first meet John on the pages of the New Testament in Matthew 4:21. There we read that the fishing boat contained "James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John." Scholars are almost unanimous in their assumption that John was the younger brother of James. In the earlier references, he is listed after his brother, James, which was often an indication of birth order in Scripture and other ancient Eastern literature.
In their world, if any name existed more common than James (a hellenized form of Iakob or Jacob), it was John. Since the family used the Hebrew language, they actually called him Jehohanan. It may sound a little fancier, but the name was as common as could be. I don't get the feeling James and John were the kinds of boys about whom the neighbors mused, "I can't wait to see what they'll turn out to be. Mark my word. They'll be something special!" Those who watched them grow up assumed the sons of Zebedee would be fisherman. Just like their father.
If we're right and James was the older brother, he held the coveted position in the family birth order. Special rights and privileges belonged to him as well as a birthright that assured him a double portion of his father's estate. The firstborn was a leader in the family, commanding a certain amount of respect for a position he did nothing to earn. John? He was just the little brother.
Most of us have experienced the ambiguity of being known by little more than our relationship to someone else. I can remember feeling lost in a whole line of siblings growing up. I have fond memories of my mother calling me every name in our big family but mine. I often grinned while she scrambled for the right one and then, exasperated, finally would say, "If I'm looking at you, I'm talking to you!" I'd giggle, "Yes, ma'am!" and run off while she was still doing her best to remember what my name was.
Some things about parenting must be universal. Surely Zebedee looked straight at Jehohanan and accidentally called him Iakob at times. If so, would young John have been the type to let it go unnoticed, or might he have said, "Abba! I am Jehohanan!" These are thoughts I love to explore imaginatively when studying a character.
Either way John was no doubt accustomed to being Zebedee's other son and James's little brother. However common his name, the meaning was extraordinary: "God has been gracious." Growing up on the shore of Jesus' favorite sea, John had no idea at this point just how gracious God had been. He would soon get a glimpse.

Praying God's Word Today
Lord, I am awed by the many times in Scripture when the gospel writers, in crafting their divinely inspired narratives, wrote the words, "Jesus came ..." To the home of a synagogue official whose daughter awaited healing (Matt. 9:23). To the town where Zacchaeus lived, awaiting a new heart (Luke 19:5). To disciples cowering behind closed doors following His death and resurrection, awaiting belief (John 20:19). I praise you today, Lord Jesus, for coming to us ... for coming to me. _______________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Two Day 2
Before You Begin Read Luke 5:1-11
Stop and Consider
He fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, because I'm a sinful man, Lord!" For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they took. (vv. 8-9)
When was the last time Christ amazed you? How did it come about? What did it change about your or someone else's circumstances? __________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
Our natural tendency is to lose our sense of wonder over time. But why? What causes the human heart and spirit to find God less awe-inspiring than He actually is? ___ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
At the time when Andrew, Peter, James, and John were casting their nets into the Sea of Galilee, a vigorous fishing industry was booming all over the lake. Many villages populated the shores of this body of water. Not only was it the food basket of the region; the sight was breathtaking. It still is. The surrounding hills cup the lake like water in the palm of a large hand. I've seen with my own eyes how the early spring sunrise hangs lazily in the clinging winter mist. Since the first time I saw the Sea of Galilee, I understood why Christ seemed to favor the villages near its shore over the metropolis of Jerusalem.
Bethsaida lies at the northern tip where the Jordan River feeds the lake. The name Bethsaida means "house of fishing," and it lived up to its name. We know for a fact that Andrew and Peter were from Bethsaida, and we can safely assume Zebedee also raised his sons in the village, since they were all partners. As we will soon discover, at some point Andrew and Peter moved to nearby Capernaum where Peter lived with his wife and mother-in-law (Mark 1:21, 29). We don't know for certain which of the two villages housed James and John at this point in their lives, but we do know they all continued to work together.
Obviously Zebedee was the one who owned the fishing enterprise. We read in Mark 1:20 that James and John "left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men." While I don't want to intimate that Zebedee was wealthy (since few villagers were), we'd probably be mistaken to think him poor. The reference to the hired servants tells us that he owned his own business and was profitable enough to have servants in addition to two healthy and able sons. Both boats might easily have been in his ownership. Peter and Andrew could have fished from one (which was considered theirs in Luke 5:3) while a little farther away (Mark 1:19) James and John fished from another.
God wisely equipped us with four Gospels because we learn far more from hearing several accounts of anything especially noteworthy. The facts one writer included may not have been noted by another because each point of view was tinted by the individual's perspective and priorities. While writing Jesus the One and Only, I learned I could almost always expect Luke to be a little more specific than the other Gospel writers, which made perfect sense to me. He was a doctor, and a good doctor pays attention to details. You'll find this principle to hold true in the passage at hand.
In his fifth chapter, Luke recorded the call of Peter, Andrew, James, and John. Simon Peter told Jesus that they had fished all night. Obviously our little band of fisherman worked the graveyard shift at times. I can only think of one thing worse than fishing in the cold. That would be not catching anything. It happens to the best of fisherman. When it happens to my husband, Keith, I always ask him the typical sanguine woman question: "But did you have fun with your friends anyway?" My personality is given to the philosophy that the question is not so much whether you succeeded or failed but if you had fun in the process. I wish I had a picture of Keith's face when I ask him that question. I'd put it in the margin for your amusement.
I can go no further without musing over Christ's divinely uncanny ability to waltz right into a life and turn it upside down, inside out, and every which way but loose. Just think how many times those fishermen had prepared and cast their nets together. Picture how many years they had practiced a routine. They weren't fishing for the pure enjoyment of it as my husband does. Fishing was their job. I don't doubt they loved it as most men would, but don't think for a moment it wasn't work. Hard work.
Hear them declare it so. Upon Jesus' suggestion that they "put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch," Peter answered Jesus, "Master, we've worked hard all night long and caught nothing" (Luke 5:4-5).
Yes, they worked hard. Day in. Day out. Then one day Jesus walked up. And everything changed.
Oh, beloved, isn't that exactly like Him? Jesus walks right up, catches us in the act of being-again today-exactly who we were yesterday, and offers to turn our routine into adventure. Hallelujah! Have you allowed Christ to do that for you? If you're bored with life and stuck in a rut of routine, you may have believed in Christ, but you may not yet have agreed to follow Him. Christ is a lot of things, but boring? Not on your life! Life with Him is indeed a great adventure.
You don't necessarily have to leave behind what you do if He proves your present course to be His will, but I assure you He will have you leave the boredom and routine of it behind. When Jesus Christ takes over our lives, things get exciting!
* * *
Consider where you are in this present season of your life. Keep in mind that even our spiritual practices can become very routine. Also keep in mind that living in what we'll call the Great Adventure doesn't mean you don't have challenges or even times of suffering, but it means that you can "see" and take part in the breathtaking work of Christ in your life. What glimpses have you seen of this already? What might be out there waiting for you? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
Praying God's Word Today
O Lord, I know that it is only by the abundance of Your faithful love that I have been welcomed into Your house. Therefore, I bow down toward Your holy temple in reverence (Ps. 5:7), amazed at who You are and what You do. You work so that people will be in awe of You, Lord God (Eccles. 3:14). And even if only a few pay attention, may I be one who never grows weary of seeing Your glory in all things, even ordinary things. __ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
Chapter Three Day 3
Preparation Day
Before You Begin Read John 1:35-42
Stop and Consider
When Jesus turned and noticed them following Him, He asked them, "What are you looking for?" They said to Him, "Rabbi ... where are You staying?" (v. 38)
At this season of your life, what do you sense you need most: preparation for a fresh work of God? Repair from a tear? Restoration from a fall? _________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
How could you demonstrate your willingness to follow Him faithfully into whatever He knows is next for you? _______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
Peter, Andrew, James, and John knew Christ at least by reputation based on John the Baptist's faithful ministry, and at least several of them knew Him by a prior encounter. We know from John 1, for example, that two disciples were nearby and heard John the Baptist declare Jesus to be "the Lamb of God" as He passed by (vv. 35-36). Verse 40 identifi es one of these men as Andrew. Many scholars believe that John the disciple was the other, since as a rule John did not identify himself in his writings. We know for certain that Peter met Christ as this earlier time because John 1:42 tells us Andrew brought him to meet Jesus.
So when Jesus approached them at their boats, they were primed and readied by God-even if through a short period of time-to leave everything behind and follow Christ anywhere.
In fact, I'd like to suggest that just as James and John were preparing their nets, they themselves had been prepared. The word "preparing" in Mark 1:19 (NIV) can also mean "repairing." The exact same word is used in Galatians 6:1 (NIV) for restoring a fallen brother-"If someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently." Oh, how thankful I am that the same God who prepares also repairs and restores.

Learn EXT-JS example doesn't work with ext-js 4.2
Hi all,
I am new to ext-js, just got the latest. I bought the book Learning EXT-JS 4. The very first example is not quite working for me. I verified in both Chrome and FireFox (both latest versions running on Windows 8) that it looks the same. The example does a simple Ext.Msg.alert("Alert","We're Ready!"); inside of the onReady function. I did a test alert("TEST") and that works. So I know that ext-js is loading. Looking at the CSS file, it shows @import '../ext-theme-classic/ext-theme-classic-all.css';
I am guessing the theme is not loading, thus causing the dialog to show up inline in the page, instead of in a pop-up as it should. My guess then is that the ../ext-theme-classic is NOT being traversed from the location of my app. I have the following folder structure:
As I said, the index.html loads, it's finding the js/app.js and it's also finding the ../ext-js/ext-all-dev.js file as the Ext.onReady is working (my alert() worked).
Is it possible that the ext-all-css.css @Import is failing to load the theme because of the path ../ not reaching the right directory? Is it trying to go from the test/ folder back one path instead of where the initial css file is loaded? If that is the case, then of course the theme file wouldn't be found because ../ from my test folder is the base path, not inside the ext-js folder that I have all the ext-js files in. The example has the same folder structure so I am unclear as to why this is not working.
Thanks for any help.

Thank you for the reply. Sadly, nothing shows up in either FF or Chrome JavaScript console. No errors, log output, etc. Seems odd something such as the first simple example would not work. I am sure it's my error somehow. But, given the simplicity of the example and that the alert() call works just fine, ext-js is loading, it's just the theme I am sure is not loading and am not sure what/why that may be.

At a loss at this point, so I am going to try building a simple JEE web app and deploying it on glassfish to see if that will resolve the issue.
I don't know enough about @import to understand why it may not work with local relative paths on the local filesystem.

I was rather leary of buying a TV that's not sold in the stores where I can go look and listen to it first. This turned out to be true here for sure. Don't get me wrong...it has a pretty darn good picture watching HD Football, movies, Blu Ray, etc but my gripe is this...in each of the 4 corners of the screen, there is what appears to be 4 "spotlights" shining towards the center of the screen. If you are watching a 2.35:1 aspect ratio HD or SD movie, it stands out like crazy and it's even worse on just a regular 16:9 wide screen video when it's a dark scene no matter if it's a DVD or HD Satellite. If the scene goes dark, or you get that blank spot as a scene changes, you see odd lighting spots all over the panel....plus the 4 spotlights. Yes, the sound quality is pretty bad for a TV but it's mainly because it's a flat panel TV....not a tube TV where there is cabinet space for the speakers to have an enclosure. Plus, they are going to be smaller. It just happens....no matter what the brand. But, some are worse than others. I also wish the menu controls for video functions were a little more broad. They aren't awful, but not great, once again. Also, there is no Dish Network code to teach the Dish remote to work the TV. I was on the phone with them for 30 minutes and we walked thru all kinds of code variations. I would most likely keep this TV if it wasn't for the 4 corner spotlights that will drive you nuts and draw your attention to them. I hkept the box and all the goodies so, after 2 days of ownership, it will be going back to the store and swapped out for something else. I could live with the poor sound quality since it's a bedroom TV. But that lighting thing....nope. I have uploaded a picture of the actual screen where you can see the lights in the 4 corners so you all don't think I'm crazy. Tell me that wouldn't notice that.....
Picture is good but noticeably not as crisp as other more expensive tvs. Easy to set up. Takes 20 minutes. Great price. No bells and whistles
I got this TV about a week ago. The picture quality is amazing. I hooked up my blu-ray player through the HDMI and the color and sound was amazing. For the price, this TV is worth every penny! This is my second element TV purchase and my experience with both have been great. I am a very happy customer.
this tv has the most beautiful picture ive ever seen on a tv...and the worst sound i ever heard!!...how this can happen i dont know...so now im trying to decide whether to just deal with the sound since i can hook it up to a sound system....or try to get better sound from another tv....you also have to screw the base on...its glass and has 5 screws....but other than that the price is awesome for what the stats are....its just the tinny sound!!..:(
When the th v is off at night and you're looking at it, you see flashing like lightning steaks going through the tv. Thought I was crazy until my husband saw the same thing. Hope this want be a problem because other than that, I'm loving this tv. However that prevents me from giving it a five star rating.
I bought my tv a while ago now. I have not had any problems so far. Buying it online, I feared it might get damaged getting shipped to the store but it worked out great and there was no charge for delivery with that options. The TV has been great. I need to get better cables to really enjoy the quality of it with Blu-Ray and games. The sound was off when I got it but once I played with it, it got better. Probably going to have to invest in a suround sound system to get the full experience. Overall I am happy with my experience.
Great picture and overall performance. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Great picture. No code to use Verizon DVR remote, so TV remote has to be kept out for power and on/off.
It took my some time to adjust to the picture. I watch it on 16:9 and the characters seem to like fatter than on my old television. I cant seem to get the volume right. I have dish network and have to use both remotes and I really dislike that.
It was very easy to set up and I could handle it by myself.
The audio output is embarrassing. Element (and Walmart) should listen to this set. The sound is tinny and echoy. The speakers are in the back and project the sound in the back. The adjustments are worthless. I would not recommend this TV to anyone.
It's a beautiful TV and I love everything about it. I love it because it take up very little space.
Bought this "LED-LCD" via Walmart.com when it was $388 a week or so ago and returned it to the local Walmart a few hours after unboxing. The picture quality on this TV is VERY POOR. The HD channels were very pixelated and the non-HD channels were even worse. Overall, picture quality not as good as an Olevia 720p 60Hz TV bought 3 years ago. The TV is very thin/lightweight, but if you are shopping for a true 1080p 120Hz TV, stay away from this one.
Beautiful design, very, very thin in comparison to LCD t.v.s I've seen. The only issue I have with it is that when you get a dark screen, such as when there is a dark frame around a brighter inside picture, there are lights that are directed in from the corners of the t.v. I'm assuming this is part of the side-lit LED feature but I wasn't expecting to see the LED light. It's somewhat distracting.Other than that, it's a great tv.
This tv has wonderful sound and picture quality. The only thing I have to complain about is the screws that I had to screw in for the tv to stand. It literally took me almost an hour because the screws kept screwing in crooked for some reason so I had to keep rearranging the sequence of them. Besides that, everything is lovely.
Picture is very sharp in HD lighted scenes. In all four corners, top/bottom-middle and middle of the screen you see lights (back lighting we assume) that look like spotlights in a movie theater. These spotlights are only noticeable in total dark to very dark scenes. Picture can very good (natural like) on well lighted calm scenes. The 120HZ works except in intense action and scenery. Sound is very tinny. We returned the TV due to lights, intense scenes and sound. If you can except these issues than we recommend this TV.
LED LCD super thin. Blacks are really black. No glow in corners or margins. Little difficulty on intense images (I have been watching Earth by disney blu ray and it rocks) Just have a simple OTA hd antenna and it works fine. Has really cool touch functionality on the front of the bezel. Volume, channel power etc is call controlled from 'invisble' buttons on the lower right corner of the bezel. I bought it at 388 free shipping and I thought it was a steal. Also bought the 22" led lcd vizio directly from the store and it was terrible. This product rocks! HOWEVER, I can't tell you how good the picture is without HD or Bluray or otherwise weak signal.
I recieved this tv today and it didnt even power on. I wouldnt recommend this product to anyone. you get what you pay for! Nothing!
All I can say is WOW! Super picture. Size is just right for our small livingroom. I don't know much about high tech TVs but I'm glad we bought this one. Easy set-up, lightweight and has lots of features that I'll have to get a kid to explain to me. If there is a downside it's that the sound is OK but not great. This set was not available in the store so I took a chance and ordered it online with free shipping, it came in a few days. We are senior citizens and the nice clear picture is a treat.
the tv is awesome. I bought it to play my xbox360 and man its awesome. Good sound,great picture the only down side is when the screen goes black you can see some light around which is the lcd back light but other than that its great and also was shipped quickly just 4 days,now its 30 dollars more expensive than when I bought it, but still worth it you cant get any 32" led 1080p at 120hz for that price and picture quality!
Haven't used this a whole lot yet but so far so good. I bought this for my covered back poarch for football games. I have this tv wall mounted with a hd direct tv box on it and the picture is great. I would say it's comparable to the namebrands like samsung just without the same price tag. I just hope it holds up for a long time I've only had it a few weeks. Overall great picture,sound,and functions!

okay so that's pretty awesome
That is amazing.The time it would take to calculate how it would bounce is way to long.You'd only be able to play it in a room with no air motion or it would mess up the beat.
so cool
That's really cool. But, I must say, that would be a pain to manage. You know, with the wind and just the pure calculations and what not.
OH yeah I've seen that!!!
It's called.. uh… Animusic, right? We own it XD
I've seen this before. Isn't it called Animusic?
Meh. I've seen this before, you wouldn't imagine how old this is.
Animusic, right?
Animusic, right?
Gawdamn I was looking for that.
yea its animusic. I saw it when i was like…5 years old
You just saw this? I thought everyone in the entire world had already seen this…
Btw, Xylophone solo is epic.
Saw that on channel 21, methinks. Awhile ago, but I watched the whole thing. Really awesome.
I thought this would be about the musical saw for some reason..
That machine hax.
It had some cowbell. I'm impressed.
Sadly I don't like the song.
It had some cowbell. I'm impressed.

That is pretty amusing.
I went on youtube and found a longer version so its better now

Andrea Peyser Is Leaving the New York Post for a While [Updated]
The columnist is taking a "leave of absence."
At the end of a typical dispatch from the New York City of Andrea Peyser's glorious imagination — which veers from September 11 to Anthony Weiner — the endearingly batty Post columnist announced her exit, at least temporarily. "To my friends, colleagues and frenemies. You, too, Alec Baldwin," she wrote. "You won't be hearing from me for a while. I am taking a leave of absence from this newspaper."
Peyser, who started there in 1989, has been described in these pages as the "local Madame Defarge … the Post's class warrior" and called "a rabid New Yorker" by the tabloid's editor Col Allan, who is himself going overseas for a bit. "But I can't stay away too long, and I'll be back in time for the next celebrity meltdown or psycho-sexual crisis to hit this city," she wrote today, cryptically, in a section titled "I promise it'll be worth the wait" (we've requested more info). "Count on it."
Update: Post television columnist Linda Stasi is also leaving the paper, according to a post on her Facebook page. She'll be working on the sequel to her novel, The Sixth Station, and contributing to the tabloid as a freelancer, she wrote.
The Post had layoffs in June, in hopes of reducing the staff 10 percent, "hoping to the extent possible to forestall layoffs by offering buyout packages to selected employees first," Capital New York reported.
A spokesperson for the tabloid told Daily Intelligencer, "we will have no further comment other than what Andrea wrote in the paper."

"Smith's book is well written and based on impressive research on primary printed and manuscript sources. Its great value is that it traces the careers of a core group of ten advocates of constitutional Royalism, analyzes their thoughts and actions at length, and looks at their impact on attempts to find negotiated settlements during the 1640s, at the time of the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, and even after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. In skillfully charting an important feature of the middle ground in seventeenth-century political life, which emphasized moderation and continuity with the past, Smith has made a welcome and important contribution." The Historian
"Political thought is an area in which David L. Smith is particularly strong....His well-planned, elegantly executed book is a pleasure to read." Austin Woolrych, Times Literary Supplement
"Smith's readers should be...greatful for his longitudinal efforts in reading constitutuinal royalism across two centuries and his close-context reading of it in light of the push for a negotiated settlement....his study ought to re-awaken interest in the sort of constitutional history that so far from being 'sterile' holds the deed to the agora of public affairs:the juncture of politics, institutions, social arangements, and religion." Michael Mendle, Albion
"Although many of his conclusions will not surprise historians familiar with recent work on the Civil War, Smith provides a much fuller and more precise picture of his subject than any previously available." R. Malcolm Smuts, American Historical Review
"This book is a valuable contribution to the historiography of seventeenth-century Stuart politics....should serve as a stimulating point of departure for further discussion on the major political trends and ideological continuities of seventeenth-century England." James B. McSwain, Sixteenth Century Journal

I served this to a group. We liked it but you had to eat it fast because it did wilt rather easy. Flavor was good. Try it and see what you think-it is worth trying!
VERY delicious salad. The other similar salad that I make has no mayo in the dressing (it's a little more Asian, w/o the mayo), and this recipe has a nice, creamy difference. It's a great salad for making little changes, depending on what you have at hand. I reduced the recipe to serve two, used iceberg & baby spinach, and used one NAVEL ORANGE, plus its juice instead of opening a can of mandarin oranges. I liked the tartness of the fresh orange. I used mayo only (and not Miracle Whip) in the dressing. I put in some raisins, added 2 crisp slices of bacon, crumbled, and a few croutons. And, next time, it could be, that I'll make it a bit differently, but I DID love it this way!

$77 seems like a good sell point in my opinion. Buy back $10 or $15 lower (mid or low $60s perhaps). Bond market drop over last month has led to record redemptions from bond funds, likely reducing fees. I would also sell the other MF companies, like BEN. Only some of the money coming out of bonds last quarter went into stock funds. Most went into cash (money market funds) which generarte lower fees. Do others agree with this analysis.
Billions also came out of emerging market funds last quarter, likely having a neg impact. We'll see.
What percent of TROW's AUM are in emerging markets and fixed income?
In general, equity funds are more profitable than fixed income funds (from TROW's perspective).
Fortuanately alot of TROW's AUM are in equity funds and particularly target date funds; the assets in the later category are fairly sticky.
TROW may wobble, but depending on one's investment time horizon, it very well may be best to hold.
What about the 4% of DELL, that TROW owns, what do you think that will be worth after this bidding war?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
TROW's position in DELL is not a big deal, as far as how much TROW is valued.
TROW primarily earns money by taking a very small fee on its assets under management.
TROW has approx. $620 Billion in assets under management and its DELL position is approximately a tad less than $1 Billion. In other words, TROW's DELL position represents 0.16% of its AUM. This is why TROW's position in DELL is not a big deal as far as how much TROW earns or how much it is valued.
Of course, if you asked Michael Dell about TROW's position, well , that is a very different scenario!
they could freeze bond redemptions alla AMR.

"No regrets buying the invitation at Tinyprints. It's cheap but the quality is not sacrificed. The free design review is a great addition to the service. I requested to verify that the photo resolution is good for printing, and the reviewer addressed it and assured me the photo is of excellent quality. The invitations arrived earlier than expected, and packed very well. No folds on the corners of the invitation and the envelopes. I love the product and the service I received."
"I was looking for nice invite for my son's baptism. This one was nice, and had the colors I was looking for which went well with the color of the blanket in his photo. The professional photo made the card complete!"
"We absolutely loved our invitations for our daughters baptism! The invitations look exceptional the print and delivery were prompt, we were kept updated with the status throughout, would highly recommend!"
"Quality of invite is great. Printing is flawless. Only issue is that one of my twin babies has a shorter name than the other so it looked a little funny."
"This invite shipped and arrived early which was great because we were able to send them out right away. The invite came out clear and high quality. We got so many compliments. I liked how you could personalize it and not have a generic saying on it. The fact that we had the envelopes pre-printed was another bonus so I didn't have to write them all out. However, it would have been easier if you could have downloaded a PDF or MS document of addresses rather than individually type each address in. Other than that, I was highly satisfied with these invites and thought they were a fantastic value!"

Wisconsin Senate Approves Iron Mining Bill
The Wisconsin Senate approved legislation removing government obstacles to iron mining in the state. Passage of the bill, approved in a 17-16 vote that largely followed party lines, concluded two years of Senate debate on the topic and clears the path for a proposed large iron mine just south of Lake Superior.
A motivating factor for Senate Republicans supporting the bill was the proposed iron mine, which would create thousands of jobs and stimulate a stagnant economy in the northwestern part of the state. The legislation would remove legal and bureaucratic obstacles that have stymied plans for the mine.
New Rules, Procedures
Under the legislation, environmental activists would not be able to legally challenge proposed mines until after a mining company obtains a permit from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Also, the legislation requires the DNR to rule on all permit applications within 460 days, versus current law which imposes no maximum time frame for DNR permit decisions.
To ensure sound environmental stewardship, the legislation requires mining companies that disturb wetlands to restore or create one and a half acres of wetlands for every acre of wetland disturbed.
Competing Bill Rejected
Senate Democrats, led by Tim Cullen (D-Janesville), offered a competing bill that would lighten some economic and regulatory burdens on iron mining but add other burdens.
Cullen's bill would have created more rigorous environmental restrictions and imposed a gross tonnage tax on iron production. Consideration of Cullen's bill ended with passage of the Republican-sponsored bill.
Expected to Become Law
The legislation now moves to the Wisconsin House of Representatives. With a solid majority of Republicans, the House is expected to pass the bill with several votes to spare. Gov. Scott Walker (R) has pledged to sign the legislation once it reaches his desk.
"This is a big victory for people looking for work in this state," Walker told the press after the Senate vote.
Economic Promise
"There's going to be tremendous benefits all across the state—3,000 jobs just in the construction of the mine, about 2,800 permanent jobs," Walker explained. "This is one of many steps we're taking to put people to work."
"This mine will bring hundreds of family-supporting, generation-changing jobs to an area of Wisconsin that has been hard-hit by the economic slowdown," said Brett Healy, president of the Wisconsin-based John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy.
"This mine will done in an environmentally safe way in the Wisconsin tradition, using the best science available and the professionals at the Department of Natural Resources to protect our way of life for generations to come," Healy said.
"Extremists that automatically say no to a life-changing project like this live in a fantasy land. Wisconsin needs these jobs, and we can do it in a way that protects our lakes and wildlife. The legislature should stand up for family-supporting jobs and move forward on this project right now," Healy added.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Bee…
Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog. My name is Bee and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I started this blog so that I could keep everyone up to date with what has been going on in my life lately – and boy, has it been an exciting and hectic time! I discovered around the time that I got engaged that I had quite a few family members as well as overseas friends that wanted to keep up to date with everything that has been going on with the family and I – the major moments being our wedding, our house move and our new addition to the family.
Having used Facebook for a number of years, I utilized my profile to give small updates and post photos about the things that have been happening recently – but alas, not everyone is on Facebook! Despite Facebook being used by more and more people everyday, I still know a number of people who have not signed up for it. Having a blog has allowed me to let these non-Facebook users find out all about what's been going on in our lives.
The moment I became 'Mrs' Blake Fisher
A moment I will remember for the rest of my life – when I said 'I do' to my childhood sweetheart Blake. Having met back in the 90s at Camberwell High School, I knew fairly soon that this would be the man I spent the rest of my life with. After 8 years of dating, Blake proposed to me at Melbourne Star – and of course, I immediately said I do!
Soon, the wedding planning begun. The bridesmaid dresses were bought, the wedding venue in Melbourne was booked, the wedding cake was designed and very soon, everything began to fall into place.
Read more about our spectacular wedding on the 'Wedding' page.
The big move to our first new home
Once we were back from our honeymoon (which was in Nusa Dua in Bali – we stayed at an amazing resort called Club Med), we soon started looking for our first new home. Luckily, the wedding hadn't gone over budget, so we still had more than a deposit for a new home. We looked all over Melbourne, and finally – through the help of the lovely team at Barry Plant Real Estate – we finally found a beautiful 3 bedroom home in Footscray.
Read more about our big house move on the 'Moving' page.
Our new addition to the family
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes… well a house, and THEN a baby in a baby carriage! Six months after we moved into our first new home, we discovered some great news… I was pregnant! Although this wasn't planned, it was such a great surprise for us both.
Although I had a tough pregnancy – including all those horrible pregnancy symptoms you read about online – with the help of the lovely midwives at Ten Moons, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. After many moments spent looking through baby names in books and online, we decided upon the name 'Eva'.
Read more about our new addition on the 'Baby' page.

Lineage: Edirol R-09 recorder (WAVE@16 bit/44.1 kHz)>internal mics>Audacity (some bass boost and normalization)>CD WAVE Editor (tracking)> FLAC Frontend (Level 6)>Trader's Little Helper (torrent creation, ffp & MD5) Recorder was on a stand about 5' high.
Lauderdale is:
Niles Lee: guitar and vocals
Corey Hannah: bass
Patrick McDonald: drums
Set list:
01- Intro

Running time: 39:05
Notes: This was actually my first recording and unfortunately I did not have any external mics. It's still a very nice recording even though I used the Edirol R-09's internal mics, which are not that bad in a pinch. This is a great indie band from the Muscle Shoals area of Northwest Alabama. They've been slowly gaining noteriety in the southeast, building some momentum as they pick up shows in the region. They are part of a growing Shoals music scene that includes artists like Jason Isbell, Sons of Roswell, The Fiddleworms, Firewood, BoomBox and others. If they come to your town, check them out and always, support indie music, buy a shirt, buy a disc, thank the band.

With the news last week that the Ministerial Faith Alliance (MFA) has the first right of refusal concerning the future of the old middle school, the Williston City Council was faced with only one action: take a bow.
Tuesday night, City Manager Scott Lippmann told the council that the MFA has until the end of January 2017 to strike a deal with the School Board of Levy County, or walk away.

The Levy County Commission reversed course on interviewing a woman for the agricultural extension director/4-H director's position, which has been vacant since February, after Levy Cattlemen's Association spokesman made a "23rd hour" request that the job be given to a director who is also a livestock agent.

You don't have to guess about Karen Esty's opinion on a potential long-term extension of the Suncoast Parkway.
She practically wore it on her sleeve.
Sporting a red "No more highways" sticker on her shirt, Esty was one of approximately 100 people who attended the I-75 Relief Task Force's open house at the College of Central Florida's Lecanto campus to give their input on the future state of the state's roads.
Incumbent Levy County Commissioner Mike Joyner, a Morriston cattle man and retired law enforcement officer, has announced he will seek re-election to the District 3 commission post.
Joyner is a family man, a devoted Christian, Republican and political conservative. His public service is based on his faith, family, personal convictions, experience, and common sense.
His mother warned that he was humble and didn't have a lot to say, but it only took minutes before Willie Duncan, this year's valedictorian at Williston High School, sat back in his chair and opened up about what it's like to be a history-maker.

It's Friday night in Williston and you don't have plans. What will you do?
A request to the Williston City Council to make its ordinance for non-compliant property owners a bit more punitive has resulted in a total re-write of the law.
Bruce Schupp, the newly appointed member to the Board of Adjustments and Code Enforcement (BACE), took matters into his own hands and wrote Chapter 48 of the code to make it pack a punch for those who fail to follow the law.
I have been in prayer for a long time seeking God's will for my professional life. Through this process I truly believe that He has led me to seek the office of Superintendent of Schools.

Wednesday evening, the Oakland Raiders strongly denied a Tuesday report by Pro Football Weekly saying that the Raiders and former coach Jon Gruden are in talks to bring Gruden back to the team in a prominent role.
It happened on the day first-year coach Dennis Allen lost his father, Grady Allen. Wednesday, Oakland's public relations director sent a message from the team about the report. Here is the strong denial:
"Members of the media: There are two people on this planet that have the ability to make talks happen between Jon Gruden and the Raiders, with regard to him allegedly taking over the football operations, and/or the position of head coach. Each of those individuals, owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie, wanted me to communicate that this rumor has no validity whatsoever."
Gruden is an analyst for ESPN's "Monday Night Football." He made this recent statement about him and several rumored jobs: "I don't have time to get into all that stuff. I like what I'm doing and I'm just trying to hang on to the job I have. Let's leave it at that.".
So, there you go.

Been using Handbrake since it's the fastest and easiest program for me to understand as I'm not a real A/V guy and I'm getting some under par results from it when it comes to TV shows.
I see episodes on torrent sites with sizes of ~175 for half hour shows and ~350 for hour shows and their in XviD but when I encode my DVD's with Handbrake with H.264 at the same size they seem to come out worse than the XviD rips on my HTPC.
I rip the DVD's with AnyDVD and then encode them using Handbrake with settings of H.264 .MKV with Loose Anamorphic and target size to which ever show I'm ripping and running the files on a external hard drive hooked up to a XBMC Live Acer Revo 1600.
These are my settings:
What am I doing wrong?

From Ray Bradbury, the recipient of the National Book Foundation's 2000 Medal comes a magical collection of short fiction.
Ray Bradbury is one of the most celebrated fiction writers of the 20th century. He is the author of such classics as Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Bradbury has once again pulled together a stellar group of stories sure to delight readers young and old, old and new. In One More For The Road we are treated to the best this talented writer has to offer : the eerie and strange, nostalgic and bittersweet, searching and speculative. Here are a father's regrets, a lover's last embrace, a child's dreams of the future 栬l delivered with the trademark Bradbury wit and style.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."
"A must…Bradbury returns in top form…He paints vivid word pictures."
-Library Journal
"Twenty-one terrific short stories."
-Fort Myers (Fla.) News-Press
"Startling ideas…Funny, edgy, ironic…vintage Bradbury."
-Kirkus Reviews
