Bishop and companion of St. Augustine. He was born in Tagaste, North Africa, and was raised as a friend of St. Augustine. He went to Rome to study law and became a magistrate there. When Augustine arrived in Rome, Alipius resigned his post and accompanied him to Milan. There he was baptized with Augustine in 387 or 394 by St. Ambrose. The two were ordained in Hippo, North Africa, and Alipius became the bishop of Tagaste, serving in that capacity for thirty years. Alipius' name was placed in the Roman Martyrology by Pope Gregory XIII in 1584. The evidence of Alipius' sanctity was clearly stated by Augustine's account of his life.

Man fakes knife attack to impress date
Updated On: Mar 24 2013 05:26:32 AM PDT
File this under "Bad Ideas 101."
An Arkansas man who planned a fake knife attack to impress his date was forced to confess to police after the plot massively backfired, Jonesboro TV station KAIT reported.
Jeffrey Tyler Siegel, 26, and his date were walking in a nature center after a night out when a man in black approached them and told Siegel, "You can go. But your girlfriend stays."
The woman screamed and ran off, while Siegel claimed he stayed and fought off the knife-wielding attacker, Yahoo! News reported.
Police and canine units combed the area for the suspect, but eventually called off the search.
When investigators contacted the woman several days later, she told them Siegel texted a lot and was acting oddly before the alleged attack.
Siegel eventually confessed after police told him they would not press charges if he fessed up, KAIT reported.
According to Siegel, the "attacker" was a friend and everything had been staged.
"He did not ever intend on it going this far and that he did not plan on the police being notified. He said it just really got out of hand very fast," the police report stated.
As for his date, she wasn't too impressed by the ruse, telling KAIT it was "not very heroic."

"I replaced an 8 year old Maytag microhood. Size is larger. New microhood mounts on different bracket. They could have made it easier for homeowner to install. Especially for those with tile backsplash. You would need special drill. Lights that light up stovetop used to be 2 lights and lit up the front. Now 1 small light in back lights up stove controls. Microwave light inside is so dim can hardly see food. Used..." Read Full Review
BIGGEST DISSAPOINTMENT IS THAT WE HAD TO BUILD OUT THE BACK WALL 3/4" SO THAT WE COULD OPEN THE DOOR. . .IT IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER MAYTAG MODELS WITH DOOR swing of only 30inch needed. OUR CABINETS ARE 15" DEEP AND THE DOOR REQUIRES A EXTRA SWING ROOM ON THE LEFT OF ABOUT 1-2" . . .NO INFORMATION OF THIS ON THE SITE DISCRIPTION. . .(Nor from any brands with 1.8 to 2 cu ft. capacity. . . self discovery only by buyer. . . so buyers beware !) wE NEVER GOT AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION WHEN WE ASKED THE SALES PERSONs NOR even at the MAYTAG SITE. . . Thus we had eXTRA TIME AND EXPENSE TO INSTALL IN OUR HOME. . .But, for this one we think-worth it !"
"Documentation is very good. I classified myself as a handyman. I installed the unit myself from start to finish. The unit is quite heavy, I wouldn't recommends lifting alone if there is someone nearby. The installed is very easy, achievable by one person."
"I searched for two months for this type of oven below $900 range. I asked in many stores and read reviews from many sites. This came in at under $500(on sale) with all the features I wanted. My results with the oven are: Preheats fast, convection cooking is right on. It cuts off time and produces moist meats and nincely browned baked goods. Microwave is one of the fastest so be careful not to get things to hot. I went with the recirculation for the fan and love how it cools at the end. You can set the oven to keep warm if you don't want it to go into the cooling mode. My hubby had it installed in an hour but he's an electrician. It cleans easily inside and out. It was the only oven I found to have both a full size rack for baking and a small round wire rack. Before using the microwave, after use of convection, extend cooling fan time or use pyrex type dish since the stainless interior retains heat. Baking professionally in the past years and as a Grandma/Mom for years makes me a little more demanding. The lights underneath give a good view for your stovetop items. The fan is a bit louder than I am use to but not as loud as my dishwasher. Based on my great results over the past 8 weeks this oven is a winning combination."
"This is the most awesome microwave! It is so user friendly. It has all kinds of different quick setting. For example, "dinner plate" that senses when it is heated! It also asks how many pieces of bacon or what size baked potato. If you push something incorrectly, it will prompt for the right answer! It is so easy to keep clean. It has a second rack which I haven't used yet. I love having the microwave over my range and off my counter top!"
"I bought this product because Consumer Reports had recommended the model just under this. Frankly, I love this microwave. The stainless steel interior is much easier to clean and the sensors seem to heat appropriately. However, if you love microwave popcorn, DO NOT buy this microwave. I have tried both the popcorn setting and manual popping. Both are absolute FAILURES! If you like to get most of the kernals popped, it won't happen even at 5 minutes! Good luck. My $79. GE model does it better!"
"Sales Rep- Michelle Hitt - was fantastic: cross checked for prices for all 4 items we purchased and gave us the best deals. Provided us with forms and copies of receipts for rebates, A very pleasant experience. thank you,"
"i like this product because it fits my kitchen decor and is very quiet and easy to use"
"This Maytag Microwave is just amazing - built with quality and design in mind. We had owned a Maytag Microwave before (2001) that performed everyday until just the other day when I tried to heat some water and it was just cold. I checked on the net and discovered it would cost $155 for the part and that wasn't installed. So the hunt began for another microwave. We had just bought the Maytag Gemini double oven in bisque, so we had to match the color as close as we could. Looked at other brands, just didn't have the look or the color was not a good match. Looking at Maytag's all over the place and found the perfect one at Sears, with the best price - yeah!! We picked it up at Sears (free shipping) and my husband installed it and wow, it is perfect. Not only looks fantastic but works better than any I have ever used. The glass rectangle plate is so neat, I was trying to think how in the world is it going to go around and of course it doesn't, it goes from side to side and back to back - I had to watch it for awhile in amazement......just a great idea! Very pleased with our selection - thanks Maytag and thanks Sears for having it in stock and for such a good price :)"
"the sliding tray lets you place larger and rectangular dishes without it baning against door. It glides smoother thatn a turntable. displays VERY easy to read."

CHICAGO – "Drinking Buddies" director Joe Swanberg's latest release of the same star wattage is "Happy Christmas," an even lower-fi story than the Olivia Wilde beer comedy, steered even more by the casting that it was able to assemble. However, with this movie Swanberg doesn't so much worry about having a story that could be confused with a more mainstream romantic comedy if it were to have a bigger budget.
Film News: 10th Year of Midwest Independent Film Festival Kicks Off Feb. 4, 2014
CHICAGO – One of the finest film fest gathering places in Chicago is the Midwest Independent Film Festival, a year-long event that meets every first Tuesday of the month. The festival's 10th year kicks off on Tuesday, February 4th, with the comedy "Adventures in the Sin Bin."
'Adventures in the Sin Bin' Kicks Off the 2014 Midwest Independent Film Festival
Photo credit: Phase 4 Films
The Midwest Independent Film Festival was founded in 2004 by Mike McNamara (also Festival Director) and Michael Kwielford. Each year, the monthly first Tuesday happening – taking place at Landmark Century Centre Cinema at Clark and Diversey in Chicago – has gotten larger and more influential, and culminates every year with the Best of the Midwest Awards. It has also become a vital networking gathering, as producers, directors, actors and film fans get together for each screening. Filmmakers from eight Midwestern states have participated over the years, as the festival prides itself on spotlighting films and filmmakers from the region.
Kicking off 2014 and their 10th Anniversary, the Midwest Indie will showcase "Adventures in the Sin Bin," a teen comedy patterned after the classic Billy Wilder film, "The Apartment.." Brian (Michael Seater) is an awkward teen at an exclusive prep school, who enjoys unexpected popularity because he owns a van – his new "friends" wants to use it for dates. It also features Emily Meade, Bo Burham, Jeff Garlin and Tim Blake Nelson.

CHICAGO – The awesomeness of history loses any of its stuffiness with the incredibly fun, indeed educational show "Drunk History" from Comedy Central, its two seasons now released on DVD. Hosted by its creator Derek Waters, the show is a celebration of various historic figures and their under-appreciated true tales, as expressed by funny people narrating in the universal language of inebriation; their recounts are then reenacted by famous actors working with their given dialogue, dressed with the comic cheapness of a bloated biopic.
Film Review: Inert, Ineffective 'The Moth Diaries' with Lily Cole
CHICAGO – Mary Harron's "The Moth Diaries" is a perfect teaching tool for potential filmmakers. It is proof of two oft-forgotten rules of cinema: 1. Not every successful piece of work in one medium should be adapted to another (or not all good books make good films). 2. Even talented directors can be the wrong fit for the material. This movie is a mess in so many ways that promising young actresses and a typically-intriguing director get sucked into its almost-complete failure. There are clear signs of what intrigued everyone about the source material but none of it translated to quality cinema.
Rating: 2.0/5.0
2002's "The Moth Diaries" by Rachel Klein was clearly a blend of adolescent angst and gothic literature – not the easiest mash-up to translate to the big screen. The very title implies something that requires a first-person narrator, someone who can convey their complex thoughts via the written word in a way that a filmmaker simply cannot do. And such is the biggest problem with Harron's adaptation – we never know the lead in the same way we would if we read her diary and so the distant approach to the storytelling makes it easier to see the serious flaws of the filmmaking. Those incredibly volatile days when a teenage girl comes to terms with her own family history, her changing friendships, her sexuality, and more make for interesting fiction but often come apart on their way to the big screen.
|Read Brian Tallerico's full review of "The Moth Diaries" in our reviews section.
The girl at the center of "The Moth Diaries" is Rebecca (Sarah Bolger), something of a black hole at the film's core because we never know quite enough about her to make her story engaging. She responds to the mystery around her but Rebecca is pretty bland as a character and viewer lack of interest in her due to the lack of development or personality on Harron's part as a writer and director is one of the film's many flaws. We never get to know Rebecca.
What do we know about her? We know that she's loyal to her friend and classmate Lucie (Sarah Gadon) to the point that her affection for her starts to approach the sexual. Is Rebecca in love with Lucie as more than a friend? She's at that age where girls are losing their virginity or falling for their hot new teacher (played by Scott Speedman) but she seems more concerned about Lucie than anyone else in her world. Why so concerned? Well, the new girl who seems to be stealing Lucie's time, the mysterious Ernessa (Lucy Cole), might be a vampire.

Tom, this is a great photo. It must have been very exciting when you realized you were going to get this shot. Do you mind sharing your camera settings for this?
tao7 2 years, 6 months ago
Thanks! It was very exciting to see how the clouds were going to add to the eclipse. I had manual settings on aperture and shutter. Aperture was set anywhere from F22-29 and shutter was up around 2500-4000. White balance was set for sunny. No filters were used although a UV or polarizing filter would have been nice.

In yesterday's Mobile review, I went on a little (or not so little) rant about Gizmodo and TechCrunch articles decrying Android for cheapness. The articles can be found here: Android is Popular Because it's Cheap, Not Because it's Good by Sam Biddle (Gizmodo) and The Truth Is That Android Is Cheap, Not Good by John Biggs (TechCrunch). Both of these writers are die-hard Apple fanatics, you can read their trolling yourself, but even worse, when they "review" Android devices, it's as a secondary device, they do not force themselves to actually use them exclusively. I am sick of the FUD that many mainstream bloggers see fit to spew forth, and wish to rectify it.
When I undertook the iPad Mini experiment, I forced myself to use the device exclusively. I still used my Android smartphone, but I only picked up the Nexus 7 to keep it updated, not to browse or anything more. I read books on the iPad Mini, I surfed the web, I used it for Evernote (and cooking) as well as watching YouTube videos. And I did not like it. My reasons are myriad, but I do not have the arrogance to claim my reasons are right (or the "truth"). Sam's article regarding the rise of the Android platform includes gems like this one: "People without money happened." The original pricing scheme for the iPhone was 4GB/8GB $499/599 with two-year contract. That makes the cost of the first iPhone over $700, for 4GB of storage. Buying that doesn't make you smart or cool or discerning, it makes you a sucker. The first iPhone was a HUGE jump from non-touch optimized interfaces, but the rest of the applications, etc, were nothing great. Capability-wise it was not far in front of other devices, it was just touch-optimized. Anything else is pure revisionist history.
I have often decried when people will buy $1 phones on contract (devices such as the iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy S3 from Amazon Wireless) that they are doing themselves a disservice, I don't like it when people will even buy $99 phones on contract (devices such as the iPhone 4S or the Motorola Droid RAZR HD MAXX). Because if you are buying on contract, you should get the most out of your commitment to the network, because they will take you for everything that they can. Sam denigrates that Samsung is marketing to African Americans by using LeBron James and the Galaxy Note 2 (if there's a person for whom a phone as large as the Note makes sense, it's the best basketball player in the world, but I digress). He references that the "Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project shows that Android is the chosen smartphone of people without money." Not only is this a remarkably entitled and pompous statement, but it ignores other stats from that study, such as 50% of Americans use the mobile web for the majority of their browsing. In Sam's words, Apple is both "too stubborn" and "too smart" to go after poorer Americans (I've noted in the past that Apple will struggle in the developing world until they create a pricing strategy that makes sense in those nations). Poor people need smartphones too, and they need other technology as well. Apple does not have to charge $329 for the 16GB/WiFi iPad Mini, or $500 for the 16GB/WiFi iPad, they choose to do so, to create a (false) sense of prestige and quality. Apple makes barriers to entry so high, that in my mind the best valued device is the 16 GB iPhone 5 ($199 on contract – the same as top quality Android devices). For every other mobile device, there is an equivalent Android device for less.
Here are some undeniable ways that Android is better than iPhone:
- Google Now – the Search and Personal Assistant capability scrapes your e-mail and web searches to return you information that you desire. This can be the traffic on your daily commute, the status of packages you've ordered, and the scores of your favorite teams. It can offer information on your flight status, and Google keeps adding more. Popular Science called Google Now the Innovation of the Year, no small feat. It is innovative, and nothing Apple has touches it.
- True Multitasking – the multitasking in iOS is bunk, and garbage. It barely works and only for a handful of programs. People throw around that "Android is open…thus better," without realizing what the "openness" means. It means that any program can be running in the background, present in your notifications, enabling interaction with many tasks at once.
- Sharing – the Android operating system allows programs to talk to each other. It allows them to share data to any source. I can take something and instantly add it to any other installed app. I can share data to my Pocket application, enabling offline reading and consumption. This is simply not possible with iOS. iOS only allows you to share data with the applications of Apple's choice, and then not as cleanly.
- Customization – Android allows you to download the browser, mapping, texting, email, launcher, keyboard and anything else you desire and make it the default app of choice. iOS does not. Plain and simple, you can create the Android experience that suits you, how it suits you. This includes things like widgets (available on both your homescreen and your lockscreen) and which apps even show up on your homescreen. I could go on for days, but the device that you use the most (smartphone) should be customized to fit your style, Android allows this, iOS does not.
- Google Integration – Google's integration into Android is (no way!) extraordinary. You can access any of their top notch services from your Android phone, including Google Voice, Drive, Maps and Mail. My Google TV app is amazing, and annoying for others who want to control my TV. Google's app development is so good, their apps are also recognized as top iOS apps as well. Google integration is a deal maker for me, and really hamstrung iOS's compatibility with my life.
- App Scaling - I wrote about this extensively in my review of my time with the iPad Mini, but it is important. Yes iOS has more "iPad" apps, but only because it has to. If the app is non-optimized, it is a miserable experience. Pixelation, not even fitting the edges of the screen and more.
- Android lets you choose - There is no one-size fits all Android solution. If you like a skin, you can buy that OEM's devices. If you want water resistant, there are the Droid RAZR series of phones, if you want removeable batteries, there are the Samsung Galaxy lines of phones. If you want a bigger phone (Galaxy Note) or smaller (Motorola RAZR M). Android gives you choices, in device, options, and capabilities. Everything about the Android ecosystem is designed to give the consumer options instead of having one company making all the choices for you.
To further this argument (and derail the "cheapness" argument), when I purchased my HTC Evo 4G it was the exact same price as an iPhone, except Sprint did not carry the iPhone. The same was true for smartphones on T-Mobile and Verizon. The iPhone is not as popular because it is not as universal, not because it is cheap. Cheap iPhones are always available off contract. The iPhone was not even available for any carrier besides AT&T until 2011 – which drove Android marketshare more than any other factor. Users wanted a similar experience to iOS, and it could only be found via Android. iPhones may be a symbol of the rich and success, but they are not only for the rich. Many users rely on MVNOs (pre-paid carriers) for their service, only Straight Talk is offering an unlocked iPhone on their network. Not making the iPhone available may have been a marketing ploy (and a result of Steve Jobs' insane controlling tendencies) but it crippled iOS more than anything else.
Lastly, if Apple allowed Samsung or HTC or even Motorola to design an iOS product, they'd jump at the chance, but Apple won't. The more you look at it, the reason that Android is trouncing iOS in adoption and use is Apple. In every way, they have made their devices harder to get and less universal. They are not bad devices, not in the slightest, but they are meant for a target consumer, and it shows. This consumer is invested in the iOS world, has a personal computer (Mac or Windows), and purchases content online. For those of us who do not fit that bill, iOS is not for us. I think despite Apple's inroad into emerging markets, their target consumers mostly reside in the US, Canada and Northern Europe. The steep barriers to entry designed at countries with heavy middle classes do not translate to poorer nations. Apple is the reason Android is winning, not the other way around.
Despite my list, I do not think that Android is for everyone. I think for many users (especially those already invested in the iOS ecosystem) the opportunity cost is too high to switch. But, for others, Android is the perfect place for them to reside. When you start with a blank slate, both mobile operating systems are equally easy to learn and master. Making technology choices is an intensely personal decision, one that should be chosen on each individual's needs and not because some tech blogger says so. If you are not informed when making technology choices, you are doomed to regret them. I often pull out my Nexus 4 and amaze iPhone users with what I can do, but I'm extra dorky that way. My problem is not that iOS is bad or anything, it's that too many bloggers fill the net with FUD, in cheap attempts to garner pageviews and attention. Instead of providing true analysis, they spit rhetoric and opinion, and pass them as "truths." Please keep your minds open when reading, and take anything guys like Biddle and Biggs write with a grain of salt.

"Unebelievable is Believable Here" — A documentary of VCU's run in the 2011 NCAA Tournament
Jan 31, 2014, 9:16 PM EST
They almost didn't make it.
After losing to Old Dominion in the CAA tournament and sitting at 23-11, it looked like Virginia Commonwealth would be on the outside looking in of the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
Many of the college basketball pundits didn't give them a shot of attaining an at-large bid. The Rams, who were one of the final teams to make the field of 68, were relegated to the First Four in Dayton. They soundly beat USC in Dayton on Wednesday, then headed off to the United Center in Chicago to take on the No. 6 seed Georgetown.
The rest, as they say, is history.
"Unbelievable is Believable Here" is a documentary written and directed by Philip Wall, which chronicles VCU's magical run in the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
From the film's website:
An official selection of the 2014 Richmond International Film Festival, this feature documentary (94 minutes) follows the journey of the 2010 – 2011 VCU Rams' basketball team through their historic and improbable NCAA Tournament run. Featuring behind the scenes footage and exclusive interviews, this feature-length documentary takes an in-depth look at the team and their trip to the Final Four.
This film has not yet been released. For those who fell in love with that Ram team — every college basketball fan should raise their hand because we all did — this film looks like a must see. Below is the official trailer.
