text: Has anyone here had any issue(if you've ever owned one) with the display on the kd-sh1000? I read a while back on DIYMA that this was one of the issues when this was a forum boner. Given that I've kept it long enough to see this for myself(as well as the usb starting to act up)has anyone else had experience with this? If so, is it as simple as cleaning the contacts for the face and the usb?

Grand Theft Auto V
Let's face it… this title needs no review. The GTA series has always sold itself on the merits of previous offerings, and has always managed to up the ante as to what players should expect from their open world titles. GTA5 has generated over $1 billion in sales in its first three days of launch, required a staff of over one thousand people to create and endeavored to be the pinnacle of not only interactive entertainment, but of all entertainment products currently available. To say that they succeeded is putting it mildly. Rockstar has created its own version of Southern California, complete with all of its endemic "good vibrations" and lurid tales that would make a demon blush. This is gaming at its finest. This is the stuff that defines a console generation. This, my dear friends, requires no review.
GTA5's enormous, open-ended world will draw you in from the moment you press start. The storyline focuses on three playable antiheroes (each accessible with the flick of a stick), and how their stories unfold (and their worlds collide) is told in a perfectly paced, dramatic fashion not unlike some of television's best dramas. The gameplay is still the typical GTA "go here to start mission, complete mission, knock about town for a while and then go to next mission" variety the series is known for, but it all feels totally right. Rockstar has finally recaptured the satirical, narcissistic zeitgeist of their GTA worlds (made famous first in GTAIII, and mysteriously absent in the last title), lampooning everything that is wrong with western civilization every chance they get. It's brilliant, hysterical and really submerges the player into the world… you will want to stay for a long time just to absorb the culture.
Each of the three characters seems to pay some type of homage to earlier titles in the series. Franklin seems to possess many of the same attitudes and aspirations that drove Carl "CJ" Johnson (and even lives in a nearby neighborhood), Michael De Santa seems to allude back to Tommy Vercetti and Trevor Philips' angular countenance and psychopathic mood swings are very reminiscent of the silent-but-deadly "Fido" character of GTAIII. Take a close look… each one even looks a bit like their predecessors. The game is loaded with subtle (and not-so-subtle) references to previous games and western culture tent-poles. (One of Michael's early key missions contains a segment that is a blatant reference to a sequence out of Lethal Weapon 2.) Fans of the series with a keen ear may pick up on a few self-referential remarks in the game's dialogue, such as the reference to "an Eastern European in Liberty City that was making some moves, but has gone silent." Whether this "silence" was intended to reference the end of Niko Bellic's story or the feud Rockstar had with the voice actor who played Bellic only the developer knows… *grin*.
Just about every aspect of the game has been improved to some degree. The handling of each of the vehicles just feels right, even if they can be difficult to control at times. Just about anything with wheels, wings or sails can be jacked and "appropriated" as you see fit. The gunplay still manages to show a few cracks in its execution, much the same way as all of the other titles have, but has also been tightened up to some degree. The stealth aspects (such as hiding behind walls or objects during a firefight) are much easier than they ever were. The best news players may like to hear is that the dreaded "foot in the water" deaths known to plague Rockstar titles is long gone, replaced with the ability to swim, dive and explore the depths of any body of water in the game. Yes, it's as if the developers added a whole new world underneath the waves.
The entire scope of San Andreas soon feels like home. After about 3 hours of gameplay, one starts to know where things are instinctually and this feeling only grows over time. Downloading the "iFruit" app to your mobile device will also add a whole new layer of interactivity to the game, as you can customize the license plates of cars you own, train your dog or take part in the online community known as LifeInvader. The satire even carries over into your real life, it seems.
Graphically, this is a brilliant as the current gen systems can get. GTA5 pushes the pixel limits of both consoles and turns out a gorgeous looking environment of forty-nine square miles. Considering the scope and depth of a game map like this, saying that a player can "get lost" in this world is an understatement. Despite all of its evil, consumerism, crime and depravity, San Andreas is one hell of a breathtaking vista.
As of this writing, the multiplayer aspect of GTA5 is off to a rocky start. Whereas the game launched with the entire single-player story mode intact (the part this review has been covering), the multiplayer portion didn't launch until October 1st, 2013. The launch has met with a few serious bumps, and as of October 7th, 2013, many players are dealing with a complete deletion of their online characters. Rockstar is hard at work coming up with a solution to the problems. Since the online portion of the title is constantly evolving and only just over a week old, reviewing it at this time would be premature.
GTA5's main single player story mode delivers the best Grand Theft Auto experience to date. The usual ending to a review like this normally reserves space for recommending a purchase or not, but who are we kidding? You already have this game and you're already awestruck by the endless possibilities San Andreas has to offer. Plunder on, my friends.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #250
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
By faith and love in ev'ry breast;
Then shall we know and taste and feel
The joys that cannot be expressed.
Come, fill our hearts with inward strength;
Make our enlarged souls possess
And learn the height, and breadth, and length
Of thine unmeasurable grace.
Now to the God whose pow'r can do
More than our thoughts or wishes know,
Be everlasting honors done
By all the church, through Christ his Son.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) Basketball fans in the Bluegrass State have had the wind knocked out of them with both Louisville and Kentucky being punched in the gut this week.
The fifth-ranked Cardinals (16-3, 4-2) have lost back-to-back games since entering last weekend as the nation's top-ranked team. Louisville travels to Georgetown on Saturday looking to bounce back from its latest setback, a 73-64 Big East Conference loss at struggling Villanova.
Kentucky fans have even more reason to be concerned.
The young, inconsistent Wildcats were halfway to winning their third consecutive Southeastern Conference game at unranked Alabama before letting it slip away. Kentucky (12-6, 3-2) ended up losing 59-55 - which could be another blemish on its resume if the defending champions need an at-large bid to get into the NCAA tournament. Kentucky hosts LSU Saturday.
``Anytime you play in the ACC, Big East, Big Ten or any great conference,'' Louisville coach Rick Pitino said Thursday, ``you're going to have peaks and you're going to have valleys, unless you have one of those great basketball teams that dominates the conference - which is not the case in college basketball this year.
``That being said, what I try to emphasize is just getting better execution-wise leading into March, just playing our best basketball at that time. Keep working on the execution and good things will happen.''
Finishing has been a problem in Louisville's losses to then-No. 6 Syracuse - which upset the Cardinals Saturday 70-68 - and Villanova. Tuesday's defeat against the Wildcats was especially frustrating for Pitino because of his team's poor performance at the free throw line.
The Cardinals trailed the Wildcats by as many as 10 points in the first half before rallying to take the lead 52-46 with 8:25 remaining in the game. Villanova closed with a 27-14 run helped by Louisville's 7 of 18 free throw shooting, including missing five of its final six.
Sophomore forward Chane Behanan had an especially rough game, hitting just 3 of 9 from the line and Junior Gorgui Dieng missed both of his second-half attempts.
``I do have concern about our power forwards and what they're shooting from the foul line,'' Pitino said of Behanan and freshman Montrezl Harrell, who are averaging 54 percent and 52 percent respectively on free throws.
``Anytime they're shooting in the 50 percentile that bothers me, so we have to work on that.''
Kentucky has several issues it needs to work through.
The Wildcats are looking to rebuild the chemistry that keyed last week's wins over Tennessee and Auburn. Kentucky appeared especially poised in its 75-65 win over the Volunteers, and hot-shooting second halves clinched victories against the Vols and the Tigers.
In its 22-point win over Auburn, Kentucky players looked for - and found - teammates on offense. The Wildcats shot 67 percent in the second half against the Tigers. Kentucky seemed to have that same trust against Alabama, forging a nine-point halftime lead.
But in the final 6 1/2 minutes against the Crimson Tide, some of Kentucky's freshmen reverted to old individual habits. Alex Poythress fouled out with only six points and five rebounds in 15 minutes while Archie Goodwin was just 2 of 12 from the field and finished with seven points. Sophomore Ryan Harrow (3 of 12, six points) struggled as well from the field as well.
Seven-foot forward Willie Cauley-Stein missed his second straight game following a procedure on his left knee a week ago, which meant another game of prolonged playing time for 6-10 forward Nerlens Noel. The freshman had 13 rebounds, eight points and seven blocks in 39 minutes while sophomore Kyle Wiltjer (35 minutes) added 14 points, including a couple of timely drives to keep the Wildcats in the game.
Coach John Calipari was encouraged by the play of his big men, but he's back to trying to get his Wildcats to ``buy in'' to a team concept.
``This is a team that is growing and getting better,'' Calipari said afterward. ``We showed signs of that and now we took a step back.''
While much of the conference schedule remains for Louisville and Kentucky, the next five games present challenges for both.
The Wildcats have already tripled last year's loss total and have yet to beat a ranked opponent. After hosting LSU, Kentucky travels to No. 23 Mississippi and Texas A&M - which beat the Wildcats on Jan. 12 - before hosting South Carolina and Auburn.
With the Rebels, No. 8 Florida and No. 22 Missouri being the SEC's only ranked teams, Kentucky needs every conference win it can get to boost its NCAA tournament prospects. That means beating teams it's supposed to and snatching a win from one of those ranked squads.
Former Kentucky coach Joe B. Hall believes it's possible for the Wildcats if they remember that redemption is just a game away.
``They're a young squad and there are going to be good times and bad times,'' Hall said. ``Tuesday night was one of those times where it was half good and half bad. It's going to be up and down with young players and their emotions. ... They can turn the corner, but they just haven't put it all together yet.''
Louisville's tournament outlook seems solid despite just one win over a ranked team (against Missouri in November), but the Cardinals enter a five-game stretch with three on the road. After the Georgetown (13-4, 3-3) matchup, Louisville hosts Pittsburgh and Marquette before traveling to Rutgers and No. 24 Notre Dame.
Each upcoming opponent except Rutgers has either been ranked or received votes in the poll this season. Still, Pitino's concern is his Cardinals putting their last loss behind them.
``We move on and get ready to face a very tough Georgetown team,'' he said.

TUESDAY, Aug. 2 (HealthDay News) — Heart attack survivors who live in poor neighborhoods get less exercise than those in wealthier neighborhoods, a new study finds.
Regular exercise after a heart attack is known to improve the chances of survival, the Israeli researchers noted.
In the study, the investigators followed 1,410 heart attack survivors for more than 10 years to assess their levels of leisure-time physical activity. Levels of leisure-time physical activity were low for the entire group of patients, with 33 percent to 37 percent reporting no physical activity and 19 percent to 27 percent reporting only occasional physical activity.
Patients in poor neighborhoods had the lowest levels of leisure-time physical activity, especially in the first five years after their heart attack, according to the study published in the September issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
"Recommendations for physical activity should be supported by appropriate infrastructure, and the provision of free or low-cost sports facilities in areas of deprivation," noted lead investigator Yariv Gerber, of Tel Aviv University, in a journal news release.
"Exercise-based rehabilitation should be available to all [heart attack] survivors, with special efforts made to encourage participation in patients from deprived neighborhoods," Gerber continued. "Further research should investigate provision of services for [heart attack] survivors in order to reduce inequalities in post-[heart attack] health."

Click here to learn more about the Nominations Committee.
Barbara LeMaster
I would like the opportunity to serve on the nominations committee. My broad interests include a professional AAA membership, and membership in various AAA sections and interest groups (American Ethnological Society, Council on Anthropology and Education, Society for Linguistic Anthropology, Society for the Anthropology of Europe, Society for Visual Anthropology, Anthropology of Children and Childhood Interest Group, Human Sexuality and Anthropology Interest Group, Interest Group for the Anthropology of Public Policy, and Interest Group on NGOs and Nonprofits). My training is in the four-fields (undergraduate and M.A.), with specialization in linguistic anthropology for the PhD, and a post-doctoral fellowship in medical anthropology. I have held several leadership positions, including CSULB Anthropology Department Chair. Previously I served on the COSWA committee, was one of the authors of the "Academic Climate Report of the Committee on the Status of Women in Anthropology" (2008), and on the advisory committee to the 2010 report, "The Changing Face of Anthropology: Anthropology Masters Reflect on Education, Careers, and Professional Organizations". I have received federal (NSF) and private funding (e.g., Spencer Foundation), and secured an endowment for our department. In short, I have broad-based academic and non-academy anthropology-related work experiences that may serve well in this position.
Tulasi Srinivas
From 2007-2011 I was on the board of the New England Maritimes region of the American Academy of Religion, ending as its President, and I realized that true leadership is crucial. Its capacity must be cultivated if an organization is to grow dynamically. My experiences as an AAA member has led me to understand that identifying, assessing and recommending strong, emergent and experienced candidates with character, while giving full consideration to the scholarly diversity, the planning goals, and the leadership needs of the Association is pivotal to the growth and welfare of the organization. I am deeply committed to understanding the solutions, the effective discussions, and workings of the various committees while encouraging diverse voices and skills to best serve on them. I see building an excellent slate of candidates as a subtle exercise in finding harmony of experienced solutions and challenging new ideas simultaneously. Attending to best processes towards the balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge to support the Nominations Committee towards fulfillment of its goals is fundamental. If elected I will bring this perspective to the Nominations Committee, and I hope to fulfill all my duties and obligations with trust, confidentiality and humour.

We recently offered readers an opportunity to receive a free 2011 desk calendar if they blogged about us or entered our daily comment drawing by posting a blog comment. That opportunity is now closed, but we received many wonderful responses. This blog submission from Cheri Duchrow particularly moved us.
I started sponsoring children in 2003. I thought it was a good thing to help someone else and it would be good for my daughter.
Cheri Duchrow
Little did I know how these children would move the Holy Spirit in me. For almost two years, I had good intentions of writing but somehow did not make room in my schedule to do so.
Slowly but surely the Lord kept calling me to grow in relationship with Him and His people.
I heard speakers reflect on Exodus 16 where the Lord provides manna for His people and we are to only gather what we need. God honors radical risk-taking acts of faith evident in many biblical stories.
He led me to speak about child sponsorship, advocate letter writing and honor the relationships He had given me through these individuals, my extended family members.
I have witnessed many God moments at a sponsorship table. My latest child sponsorship has its own God story.
Joshiammal, Cheri's sponsored child
Florence, Cheri's sponsored child in Mathare
I had read about others' experiences in many countries where people make a living in city dumps and live in the slums. These break into the silence of my soul, and I cannot shut out the images.
One trip focused on Kenya and the Mathare slums. Even though I sponsored several individuals, I thought surely I could press myself and sponsor one more. When I called there weren't any individuals available there.
Though I thought about Mathare on occasion, I let it slip into the background and the business of life took over.
Several months later I received one of CFCA's informative magazines outlining several success stories. One talked about a program for the children in the Mathare area.
This was God shouting through the darkness, reminding me of the work He needed to do through me. I made a note to call CFCA to check into sponsoring there.
Another week went by. On a Sunday night I went to CFCA's website, which had started to put pictures of the individuals needing to be sponsored.
I thought I would see whether any individuals from Kenya lived near Mathare. I thought maybe a girl or boy about 9 or 10 would be nice.
Then there was her photo. It wasn't the photo that caught my eye but her name – Florence.
That was my Mom's name. She passed away in 2006. I did not know if this precious Florence was from Mathare.
By now I knew the Lord was calling and could delay no longer. I called CFCA the next day and asked if they had any individuals available to sponsor from the Mathare Kenyan project. The answer was yes.
Dare I ask about Florence? I almost hung up without asking, but I did. The person helping me could check the website and let me know where she was from.
You guessed it. In all of Kenya yes, she lived in Mathare!
If that wasn't convincing enough, after her first letter it is apparent that she has the same loving and giving soul as my mother.
At only 9 she dreams of being a doctor and helping others like all those who have helped her.
I have met some of the children I currently sponsor. I am joyfully waiting on the Lord for what He holds for me this September as I continue this faith journey by going to Kenya with CFCA and meet this incredible friend God has given me.

On some level, 30 Rock is about a writer and an executive who each exist in a state of perpetual crisis. It's about professionals trying to finagle their way past a series of seemingly insurmountable obstacles every week.
In "I Heart Connecticut," the seemingly insurmountable obstacle Liz Lemon faces is finding the absent Tracy Jordan so that she can save The Girly Show. The fate of the show hung in the balance. Show business is largely dependent on some of the least dependable people in the world. The people who populate it are crazy and drunk and selfish and immature, yet somehow the entertainment industry rolls along all the same. It's a miracle, really, that a business dependent upon the Tracy Jordans of the world is able to work as smoothly as it does.
Sometimes, however, there's a glitch in the matrix, and the system breaks down. The craziness becomes overbearing and overwhelming. That's what happened with Dave Chappelle. That's what happened with Charlie Sheen. That's what happened to Tracy Jordan. He can cope with being laughed at. He can cope with being seen as crazy. But he cannot cope with the prospect of being taken seriously, that people might expect, even demand, that he behave like a responsible human being instead of an insane, drunken 10-year-old. So he does what people tend to do when they're overwhelmed: He runs away.
Jenna, meanwhile, finds herself the star of a torture-porn exploitation movie that, in order to survive, morphs slowly but surely into a blood-splattered feature-length advertisement for the New England tourist industry. Tonight was all about people trying to make the best of impossible situations, so the project undergoes increasingly ridiculous permutations as it fights for its life. First, it becomes family-friendly fare for Wal-Mart, then an acting vehicle for Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal. Commerce trumped sanity, as it tends to do here.
It's rare for anything good to happen to Pete. Only the tragicomic presence of Lutz prevents him from reigning as the show's most pathetic creature. Yet every once in a while, fortune smiles upon Pete, albeit usually to raise his expectations so the inevitable disappointment will hurt even more.
In tonight's episode, Pete surprises himself and his coworkers by discovering that he's actually good at something, that his sad-sack existence as a husband and father has given him a preternaturally strong grip that makes him a whiz at arm wrestling. I really liked the way Scott Adsit played his character's dawning realization that he might not be as useless and emasculated as he'd previously imagined. There's a palpable sense of surprise that gives way to low-level glee at possessing both a secret skill and knowledge of that secret skill.
Pete's arm-wrestling story echoes a similar episode of Louie where Louis C.K follows a teenager tormentor home only to find himself feeling sorry for the kid who bullied him after seeing what a sad life he leads. Pete had a similar dynamic here, when he discovered that the gruff, hardass crew guy giving him shit (Rob Riggle, typecast to perfection) is every bit as henpecked and dispirited as he is. He just does a better job of hiding it. This wasn't as poignant or as dark as it was on Louie, in part because Louie is a deeper and darker show, but there were some moments of unexpected connection between two seemingly antithetical men who have more in common than either is liable to acknowledge.
"I Heart Connecticut" ends on a slyly philosophical note, with Liz delivering a spirited pep talk where she encourages Tracy to cast off the unbearable burden of being the new, improved Tracy 2.0 and revert back to the crazy, assaultive live-wire Tracy Jordan everyone knows and loves. It's great to have the old crazy Tracy Jordan back but thank God he never really went away.
