If you're looking for the cheapest iPhone or iPad that isn't used, Wal-Mart is the first place you should turn this holiday season.
The retail giant announced plans Friday to offer the 16 GB iPhone 5 for $127 (normally $189.97) and the 16GB iPhone 4S for $47 (normally $87.97), along with a two-year contract. They'll also sell the third-generation iPad for $399.
While it was reported elsewhere that Wal-Mart is discounting the recently announced fourth-generation iPad, a Wal-Mart spokesperson confirmed with CNNMoney that it is, in fact, the third-generation model, which has a less powerful CPU.
While the iPad sales just seem like an offloading of stale products, Wal-Mart's motivations for discounting the iPhone aren't exactly clear. Some, such as the LA Times, speculate that dragging sales are to blame. Whatever the case, it's best not to sleep on this deal if you're in the market for one of these devices. Wal-Mart told MacRumors that the sale is first come, first serve depending on inventory, and rain checks will not be issued.

Robert K. Dorton, M.D., 1933-2011
Robert K. Dorton, M.D., ('65) a former clinical professor of internal medicine at Saint Louis University, passed away on Dec. 12. He was 78.
Dr. Dorton's medical career started and ended at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. He completed his residency and a postdoctoral research fellowship at SLU in 1965, and taught here for nearly 40 years. He was honored by the Missouri Medical Society and the American College of Physicians for his service to the University.
"One of the most notable things about Dr. Dorton was his involvement and commitment to Saint Louis University," said Raymond Slavin, M.D., clinical director of allergy and professor of internal medicine at SLU.
"He was a very busy community physician, yet he remained involved at SLU throughout his career, and even after he retired from private practice. He was a dedicated and effective teacher. In addition to serving as a preceptor for third-year medical students, he taught physical diagnosis. He was just terrific, loyal as can be."
According to Thomas Olsen, M.D., director of general internal medicine at SLU, Dr. Dorton found joy in his role as a preceptor for third-year medical students.
"Dr. Dorton liked working with the students; there was a mutual need there. He enjoyed interacting with the students and sharing his knowledge with them, and students enjoyed his enthusiasm and ever-present smile," Olsen said.
Dr. Dorton was well known in the community. He had a successful private practice and served as president of the medical staffs at St. Mary's Health Center and the former Deaconess Hospital. He also served terms as president of both the St. Louis Internist Club and the St. Louis Society of Internal Medicine.
He received his medical degree from Vanderbilt University in 1959 and completed an internship at Ohio State University in 1960.
A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 16, at Salem in Ladue University Methodist Church, 1200 South Lindbergh Blvd.
Dr. Dorton was survived by his wife of 51 years, Ingrid, son J. David Dorton, two daughters, Dorothy Kittner and Deborah Dolan, a brother, two sisters and 11 grandchildren.

- "Natural" is Very Dark Review by Ladybug83
Quality Price Value
If you can find your color, this is a great concealer for blemishes. I have fair skin and wear shade natural-medium in the pressed base. I ordered the color natural in the camouflage oil free concealer and it was too dark. It is very obvious where I applied the concealer - even when it is blended with my pressed base foundation.
My skin is fair, but there are many people with lighter skin than me. Wish this came in more shades.
Note from glo: Thank you for your feedback, Deborah! We will pass it along to our product development team.

- You can't go wrong with this one. Review by Sahrish
Quality Price Value
I have been using this concealer in shade Natural for a very long time. Even though I have oily skin, this concealer never slides or creases. It gives me a flawless coverage and is really light on skin. The best thing is that it stays for long hours and if used regularly, it lightens the discoloration under eyes. I started to have purple tone under my eyes but then I started using this concealer regularly and it really helped. I find the price a bit high but it has a good value for money since the formula is highly pigmented and a tiny bit goes a long way.
I have reviewed this on my blog already and have used in most of the makeup looks that I published on my blog. This is my all time favorite and go-to concealer. Great job!

Quality Price Value
The best concealer I have ever used! It covers well and my face still looks natural (but flawless) when I am done. One pot will last a really long time, even if you use it every day. It has never broken me out and I have always had such reactive, sensitive skin.

- The best concealer of all time! Review by Kelly
Price Value Quality
I've suffered with acne and acne scarring for years. This is the only concealer that I trust on my face! This product (along with all glo products) does not cause me to breakout. The Camouflage concealer covers my problematic areas flawlessly. It doesn't even feel like anything is on and it lasts all day on my face. This is my can't live without product. I wear the camouflage concealer everyday with the pressed base or the loose base powder and it makes my skin look perfect.

- Pretty good! Review by Megan
Price Value Quality
Well, this product is pretty good. The coverage is extremely thick, and you really have to watch how much you use, or it will show. I would just use my fingers to apply and blend this product, after you wash your hands, though, of course. Overall, I think it's a fairly good product, gives good thick coverage, last throughout most of the day, and the product lasts a very long time before you need to buy more...

I have read all the Percy Jackson books twice and they are pure win! If you liked Artemis Fowl then this is the book for you! It's funny at times and sometimes you just don't want to stop reading it. Rick Riordan made the book so you feel as if your there with them! I like how he makes it seem that maybe Greek Gods are real. Holy Poseidon the books were great. So go out there and get it now!

Old techniques for making sales just won't work in today's markets.
Many salespeople grew up learning that the key to success was to master some new technique or trick to get potential buyers to "sign the deal." This isn't working today as buyers have more information, have equal access to the slick tricks, and can instantly contact a host of trusted allies to get the right information.
So what is a salesperson to do today?
The answer is help, not hype, said Jay Baer, a social media authority and author.
Forget the hype, the techniques, and the tricks. You need to position yourself as someone who has valuable knowledge and is a respected thought leader in your field.
SEE ALSO: How I boosted my sales (and my life) by dumping TV
Take advantage of online word-of-mouth
The market today is rich with abundant information only a few keystrokes away. For instance, many car buyers do extensive research about car ratings, features, dealer prices, customer ratings, and resale before they even step foot into an auto dealership.
They ask their friends on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and elsewhere what they think before they even consider making a purchase. The favorable (or unfavorable) word of a trusted friend or close advisor has far more weight in their decision than any "slick" advertisement, smile or handshake you can muster.
Even the opinion of anonymous strangers on online review sites like Yelp and Google can sway a customer towards or away from a business. People naturally distrust shenanigans, dishonesty, and bad customer service.
Use this information to benefit your sales. Realize that your customers are more informed than ever, and use this knowledge to better connect with your market.

Laurel Wreath Menswear Autumn Winter 2012
Monday, 6th Aug 2012
Laurel Wreath menswear has a strong graphic influence for Autumn Winter 2012. Applications and details take inspiration from British post war op artists; with a focus on the use of pattern, line and colour across styles.
Seams are shifted and back panels colour blocked, creating a strong modernist aesthetic. Irregular vertical stripes and graduated dot placement prints are used across shirts and Italian merino wool knitwear. Micro gingham checks, Italian manufactured tonal checks and stripes are seen across woven shirting. Details are considered and playful with the use of different chest pocket shapes and collar fastenings. Pants and single colour shirting are offered in soft touch cottons and subtle herringbone twills.
Across outerwear, classic shapes are given subtle updates, creating clean minimal lines. Most notable pieces are the Raglan Sleeve Raincoat, made in London using British Millerain fabric and a cotton and alpaca blend Herringbone 3 Button Jacket, also made in England.
Functional canvas lined waxed nylons are seen across the bag range; whilst micro dot and arrow patterns used within the apparel range are applied to merino and lamb's wool scarves.
The clean lines and modern aesthetic seen within the clothing range is apparent across the footwear collection. Standout styles include the Beatty suede, a desert style boot with a thick crepe sole and the Donegan Leather & Wool Shoe, a brogue style panelled with rich marl wool and smooth leather.
The Laurel Wreath menswear collection is available online and in Laurel Wreath Collection stores.

Moderators: Tonyblack, Jason, Toothy
The characters of Pin and Tulip are somewhat frustrating for Terry in the sense that many, many people feel that they are 'obviously' based on Mr Croup and Mr Vandemar in Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere (who refer to themselves as the Old Firm, and call each other 'Mr'). Or 'obviously' based on the thugs Jules Winfield and Vincent Vega from the 1994 movie Pulp Fiction (and there are a good number of Pulp Fiction references in The Truth). Or obviously based on Mr Wint and Mr Kidd from the James Bond movie Diamonds are Forever. Or obviously based on the two Rons (who called themselves 'The Management') from the BBC Hale and Pace series. Or...
Terry himself had this to say:
"1. The term 'The Old Firm' certainly wasn't invented by Neil. I think it first turned up amongst bookies, but I've even seen the Kray Brothers referred to that way. Since the sixties at least the 'the firm' has tended to mean 'criminal gang.' And, indeed, the term turned up in DW long before Neverwhere.
2. Fiction and movies are full of pairs of bad guys that pretty much equate to Pin and Tulip. They go back a long way. That's why I used 'em, and probably why Neil did too. You can have a trio of bad guys (who fill roles that can be abbreviated to 'the big thick one, the little scrawny one and The Boss') but the dynamic is different. With two guys, one can always explain the plot to the other..."
"A point worth mentioning, ref other threads I've seen: Hale and Pace's 'Ron and Ron' worked precisely because people already knew the archetype."
raisindot wrote:[spoilers]
The history of two-man crime teams aside, Croup and Vandemer are so similar to Pin and Tulip in attitudes, speech patterns, and actions that it's hard for me to see how Pterry created his characters free of Gaiman's influence. Vandemer's obsessive habit of eating any crawling thing becomes Tulip's obsessive habit of trying to consume any inorganic powdery substance as drugs. Both Croup and Pin speak in an artificially "civilized" manner. Croup is literally a consumer of fine art (although Pterry makes Tulip the art expert, which is much funnier). And in the end, Croup trying to save his own life by leap-frogging over Vandemer becomes Pin's murder of his partner to save his own skin.
Pterry may claim that he wasn't influenced by Gaiman, but all of these literary similarities make it hard to believe he wasn't.
Glitz: Whereas yours is a simple case of sociopathy, Dibber, my malaise is much more complex. A deep-rooted maladjustment, my psychiatrist said, brought on by an infantile inability to come to terms with the more pertinent, concrete aspects of life.
Dibber: That sounds more like an insult than a diagnosis, Mr Glitz.
Glitz: You're right there, my lad. Mind you, I had just attempted to kill him.
Douglas Klump: The perimeters of our assignment were described to us with specificity, Mr. Shlubb. We are to deposit our cargo into the body of water which we now overlook. It was likeways made clear to us that any embellishments of said perimeters would not be advisory.
Burt Shlubb: I cannot prescribe to such a narrow interpretation of the perimeters which you now invoke, Mr. Klump.
Quatermass wrote:[spoilers]
(raisindot) "speak in an artificially "civilized" manner"
Again, that's not actually unique. I mentioned earlier Sabalom Glitz and Dibber. Glitz in particular attempts to speak in an artificially civilised manner, to sound more intelligent than he really is [....]
In addition, Shlubb and Klump, from Sin City, make (what I am sure) is their debut in 1996, four years before The Truth. And they, well, let's just put it this way: they have, as TV Tropes puts it, 'delusions of eloquence'.[...]
Not that Terry Pratchett would have read any Sin City graphic novels...
raisindot wrote:I'm really trying very hard to figure out what all the fuss is about with Gaiman. So far, I've read American Gods, Anansi Boys, Neverwhere and Stardust . All pleasant reads, by they all seem to have the same formula: Ordinary guy gets involves with fantasy/supernatural/gods, discovers he is part godlike/supernatural himself, discovers inner heroic qualities he never knew he had, ends up leaving the regular world for the fantasy realm. Other than American Gods, which was very good if a bit scattered, most of these don't really stand out in any way.
Do his other (adult) books continue this same formula? I'll read them, too, but in terms of this genre I wouldn't put him anywhere near Pterry or even similar authors like Chris Moore in terms of originality, wit and literary ability.

Jon Jones responds to Hackleman, says Davis, others trying to talk way into title shot
"Phil, he has his job to do," Jones said. "His job is to try and get a title shot, and he figures if he can stir up enough controversy and insult me enough that that will get him closer to the title shot.
"Maybe it's working – we're definitely talking about him more than usual. Good for him. Obviously, I'll be here. My goal is to be in the No. 1 spot when he gets to me, and everything will take care of itself in time."
Until then, Jones is sure he'll field more trash talk from a list of fighters looking to take his title.
Asked whether he differentiated between Davis and Daniel Cormier, with whom he shares a long-simmering rivalry, Jones said all of the callouts and criticisms are part of a trend.
"One thing I've realized is I'm getting chirped by guys who aren't actually contracted to fight me," he said. "I think when you know your challenge is coming up, it can be a little more nerveracking than sitting on the sidelines and talking about what you would do. Me knowing this, I'm just going to focus on the task at hand and let everything else take care of itself in the future."

Socks using Sport- & Strumpfgarn Yarn
The socks below are done in a 4 ply yarn which is Sport- & Strumpfgarn Yarn it is 60% Superwash Virgin Wool, 25% Acrylic & 15% Polyamid this yarn while is self-patterning in that there is some patterning it more like random spots you don't have to match as there is no matching to it.
I been thinking of getting some sock blockers & if anyone has an opinion on them good or bad would appreciate hearing about them, there is a site here in the UK that is doing some click here for the link to see them & say what you think of them.

Just dropped by from Socks from the toe up list. Glad you joined us.
I'm by NO means an expert on socks. I've done one pair toe-up on DPN's. Took me almost a year to get a pair done. That was several years ago. Sunday I cast on a pair of 2 at a time, toe-ups and I'm doing them magic loop. I've already got the toes on both pair done, but have run into a problem. When I figure it out, I'll finish them.
All that to say that a lot of people make their own sock blockers using a plastic COVERED wire coat hanger. They keep the hanger intact, use the hook on it for hanging them up - I guess some people do hang socks to dry them, but the hook lets you hang the blockers out of the way when not in use. They pull up on the neck of the loop and down on the middle of the hanger and stretch it out of shape, then use a pair of pliers to make it sock-shaped. Then slip you sock on it to dry.
I probably have one or more links to tutorials that people have done for these. (Since my socks are only "bed" socks from WW yarn, I wash, lay flat to dry and wear.)
Anyway, welcome to the group and I hope this helps.

Hi Everyone!
It's no mystery that one of the best ways to support yourself in healthy dietary change is being prepared - and close on the heels of that is make preparation easy.
If you haven't made friends with the pressure cooker, or yours is collecting dust,you might want to revisit this easy cooking method.
Recently, the Instant Pot company sent me one of their pressure cookers to review. It also sautes, slow cooks, rice cooks, steams - you name it.
Even thought I've had a pressure cooker for a long time, this one has made things so much easier. I can even cook a full 5 lb bag of potatoes at once!
Here's a full article about it:
My new kitchen buddy: Instant Pot electric pressure cooker review
When I told Instant Pot folks that I loved the IP, they offered to set me up with an affiliate program. Instead, I asked them if they could establish a code that would allow readers to get a discount, and they came through - $45 dollars off!
All the details and code on the article.
Anyone else have one of these?
Lani Muelrath, M.A. CGFI, CPBN Fit Quickies: The Plant-Based Fitness Book
I bought the Instant Pot, and received the discount, thank you Lani. I use my stove top pressure cooker a lot for soups, stews, grains, etc. and haven't used it since receiving my Instant Pot, it's great.
The Instant Pot is so easy to use and you don't have to worry about when the pressure is reached, etc. Just set the program and it rings when done, then enjoy. Very easy and delicious. A great purchase.
Also very easy to clean.
I have the Instant Pot too and I love it. Just put the food in, press the buttons, and then take a nap! or get something else done. No more standing at the stove watching and watching. (I told an elderly woman with arthritis about this and she was happy to hear she may be able to cook without pain now because she won't have to stand for a long time cooking anymore)
You don't have to worry about not getting to it when its done because it will keep the food warm for several hours.No worries about when to open the lid. It won't open unless the pressure is down. I never got into using the stovetop pressure cooker because I was afraid of it but this I am not afraid of at all. This fits into anyone's busy lifestyle. I use my Instant Pot every single day. I steam kale, cook the little red potatoes, lentil or split pea soup, and the black beans are the best beans I have tasted.Yes, Chickadee, its very easy to clean. Except for soup, most times I just rinse it real good, let it dry, and its fine for next time. I really like the super lightweight stainless steel inner pot. No heavy crockpot bowls anymore.I am very happy with the Instant Pot. Its actually very fun to use. It makes cooking interesting and fun. It makes it a pleasure instead of a chore.Thanks for sharing this invaluable message Lani!
I must get one of these! I didn't realize when I got my new stove (it has a flat glass top) that I couldn't use a pressure cooker on it. Does this one sit on the counter and is then plugged into an outlet? Can this pressure cooker be used when sealing mason jars of vegetables?
I think I'm ready to get the InstantPot--found it on sale on Amazon for $119.95-is this a good price or would it be best to use Lani's code? Thanks

Chickadee - cool! Let me know what you've tried so far!

What an excellent overall description! I too like that the inner pot is lightweight and easy to transport. It usually only need a quick rinse but I've also run it through the dishwasher a few times.

Yes, the unit is entirely independent so you can move it anywhere. I've cooked with it outside on hot summer days.
Great question about the canning! You could write customer service from their website - they've always been very responsive to me.
christl wrote:
Find the size and model you want on their website (the link is right there on my blog page) and subtract #45 from the price and that will give you your answer. Also consider shipping, I don't think IP charges but then Amazon might not either.
Thank you, Lani-will do
Lani, I've done beans, veggies (beets) and oatmeal from steel cut oats. Put the oats on before I went to bed at night and breakfast was ready when I got up in the morning. My favourite, though, is what I call clean out the frig stew. Beans and whatever veggies I have in the frig, a can of tomatoes, seasonings, onion, garlic, etc. delicious and enough for a few days. Not too bad for only having the Instant Pot for a few weeks. One thing, I got the smaller 5 litre one and do wish I'd got the 6 litre one.
Do you mean you have the steel cuts on slow cook?
How long do yo cook the soup - and is it under pressure? Do you use uncooked beans usually?
You are master of the IP! As for size, you're probably right - it takes up a chunk of real estate anyway so might as well go for the gusto!
Hey, I am doing corn on the cob - I'll post a pic later.
Hi, chickadee-do you toss the whole onion and other vegetables in, or have to chop things up first? Also, do you use a vegan seasoning cube? Thanks
Lani, Do you know how long they are going to give the discount with your code? It may be a few months before I am ready to purchase one. Also, will the code work for the new model coming out in October?Thanks
DebB wrote:
Deb, the code is up indefinitely so you could check again when you are ready to buy as who knows what the future may bring. And I'm betting the code will work on the new model if it is still active. Do you know what is different about the new model?
Lani,Not for sure what difference there will be in the new model but I think I read somewhere (maybe in the commments)that they were going to fix a few "bugs". It sounds like, though, that no one on this forum has had any trouble with their cookers.
I sure am happy with mine. I think any 'bugs' I have experienced have all been solved with experience - in other words, getting familiar with how she works!
The steel cut oats I just cooked on the congee setting and I do enough for several days so just heat up for a minute before eating.
The stew, I did soak the beans, and I had so many that had to cook on the bean setting, then froze some for a future use.
I don't usually use the veggie cubes, I find the tomatoes give a good flavour along with all the veggies. The last stew I made I added the beans, mostly cooked, carrots, beet greens, (usually use kale but this was clean out the frig stew), onion chopped, garlic, ginger shredded, beans, then I added a couple of spoons of curry powder, some turmeric and some chilli powder for heat. I then added the canned diced tomatoes and enough water and let it cook.
I sometimes take my own food when I go out to dinn at non veggie friends and the one time I took this stew everyone wanted to have some, luckily I'd taken extra.

Trumbull News Detail
Mysteries of the Heart UnlockedPosted Nov. 29, 2011
When people hear that Professor Mary Russell is researching "cinnamon," they're confused. And the confusion is only natural. After all, why would a molecular biologist spend her time conducting research into something that almost everyone has in their pantry?
"Yeah, I get that look when I tell people outside the field what it is I'm working on," says Dr. Mary Russell, associate professor of biology at Kent State University at Trumbull. "But when I explain that I —and others in my field — are dealing with a protein, and not what my kids sprinkle on their toast, the light bulb comes on."
It is synemin (rhymes with cinnamon); a protein found in the human heart, that has framed Russell's research for the better part of the last 10 years.
In 2004, Russell, a graduate of The Ohio State University, received a Summer Research Grant from
Kent State University, with which she initiated the construction of cDNAs needed in the synemin project.
Since that time, Russell has added funding from the Farris Family Fellowship, which has aided her in her most recent synemin-related discovery. Russell has found that synemin has a second, completely unexpected, role in the muscle cell — both synemin proteins bind and tether a second protein in human heart cells to the internal cellular framework.
The second synemin protein, kinase A (PKA), participates in a cascade of events that, among numerous other things, allows muscle cells to respond to hormonal signals such as the release of adrenaline. This is a particularly complex set of events, and Russell is attempting to unravel the function of PKA being held tight by synemin in heart muscle cells. According to Russell, the picture is unclear since there are other pools of PKA within those cells.
Russell's research goals are to: construct cDNAs encoding alpha and beta synemin fused to a fluorescent protein; construct mutated cDNAs encoding alpha and beta synemin that do not anchor PKA and are fused to a fluorescent protein; determine the PKA substrates within cultured cells with either alpha or beta synemin; and visualize the location of each of these proteins alone and then together within the same cultured cells.
Using fluorescent microscopy, it is possible to determine where each protein is within a cell, and if they are localized together. Russell anticipates these discoveries to have exciting results within the next six months to a year.
In addition to heading up this project, Russell oversees several other projects in the Kent State Trumbull lab, each holding out the possibility of providing countless discoveries.

Dominique Moceanu was born on Sept. 30, 1981, in Hollywood. When Moceanu was 3, her parents, Romanian immigrants, enrolled her in a gymnastics class. By the age of nine, she was being called a possible future star. "That somebody wanted to call me an Olympic hopeful … really planted that seed in my heart to become a champion," Moceanu told "20/20." WATCH THE FULL STORY ON "20/20" FRIDAY AT 10 P.M.

When Moceanu was 10, her family moved to Houston so she could train with the legendary Romanian coach, Bela Karolyi, who coached the famed gymnasts, Nadia Comaneci and Mary Lou Retton. Seven months after joining Karolyi's team, Moceanu became the youngest member of the U.S. Junior National Team ever. In 1995, at 13, she became the youngest gymnast ever to win the U.S. National Championships.

Leading up to the 1996 summer Olympics in Atlanta, Moceanu injured her leg, which hurt her performance. She fell during both of her vault competitions. Although she did not win an individual medal, her flawless floor exercise and balance beam routines helped lead the U.S. women's gymnastics team – which came to be called the Magnificent Seven -- to its first team gold medal ever.

"I was happy we won the gold," said Moceanu, "but I was sad inside." Moceanu said her father, Dimitry Moceanu, seemed more concerned with her individual performance than the gold medal. Karolyi told "20/20" Moceanu's individual results "disappointed her and disappointed me."

Moceanu said her parents, particularly her father, handled her finances -- including national-team stipends and post-Olympics endorsement and appearance fees -- keeping her in the dark. "[T]hey didn't know that maybe I wanted to put that aside for my college education or my future," Moceanu said. "I didn't even know that my NCAA eligibility was stripped out from me from taking that stipend."

In 1997, Dimitry Moceanu built Moceanu Gymnastics, a 70,000-square-foot gym outside Houston, with Dominique's earnings. "My dad built the Taj Mahal of gymnastics, it was dubbed," Moceanu said. "He really just wanted to have the biggest and best gym for his daughter." She said she was not against the idea but thought her father could have started a little smaller.

Moceanu said that, in 1998, she grew weary of pressing her father for answers about her finances. She was 17 and the family's primary breadwinner, but her father still treated her like a child, she said. Moceanu hired a lawyer to emancipate her from her parents, accusing her father of squandering her money.

Through court proceedings, Moceanu learned that her father had burned through $1 million of her earnings, mostly to build Moceanu Gymnastics. Moceanu said her emancipation, while painful, was necessary to gain control of not just her money but her life. It also allowed her to escape the rigorous pressures of training and to get back to approaching gymnastics in a healthy way, she said.

Moceanu trained with a new coach and competed in various competitions. She eventually reconciled with her parents. (Her father has since passed away.) In 1998, she reconnected with Michael Canales, a former Ohio State gymnast studying to be a doctor. Moceanu said she was clueless about romance but knew she wanted to stay in touch with Canales.

On Nov. 4, 2006, Moceanu and Dr. Michael Canales were married. "Who would have thought that the boy I bumped into in the hospitality room at the 1994 U.S. Nationals would end up being the man I'd marry?" asked Moceanu. "It was the start of what would evolve into a long yet persistent love story."

Now, Moceanu's life is free of drama, control issues and secrecy -- almost. "I ... grab this letter, and I didn't recognize the name, but I thought, 'Who could be writing me a letter at my home?' Most of my fan mail came to the gym," Moceanu said. "Then I said, 'OK, there's a letter in here, let me read the letter.'" Watch "20/20" Friday at 10 p.m. to see how the letter changed her world.

PANAMA CITY — Florida clerks of court are in a transition phase, trying to adhere to a state law that requires personal information, including Social Security, bank account and credit card numbers, to be redacted from public records.
As part of an statewide Associated Press project, The News Herald visited Bay and Calhoun counties to check on their compliance with the law (119.0714), which took effect Jan. 1, 2012, but has clerks of court ruing the number of man hours needed to comply.
In Calhoun County, Social Security numbers could be seen in criminal court documents. Although no credit card or bank account information was seen, that was because it wasn't in the documents, not because it was redacted. The same was true for civil court documents.
In Bay County, all personal information was redacted in both criminal and civil documents, but the original, hard-copy civil documents were only redacted in black marker, so the numbers were still visible.
The News Herald reporter, without identifying himself, requested the criminal and civil court records, one which dated back a week from the visit, the other dating six months before the visit. The request was only for original, hard-copy documents.
RELATED:Redaction causes delays in many counties
Both clerks' offices were prompt and courteous and didn't ask the reporter to identify himself, which would have been a violation of state law, nor did they ask why he wanted the documents or whom he was with — also state-law violations.
Calhoun County
Neither set of criminal court documents was redacted in Calhoun County. But that will be worked on in the future to ensure the oversight doesn't happen again, said Carla Hand, Calhoun County clerk of court.
Hand said improper procedures were used when turning over the original, hard-copy files for viewing. She said the electronic files are redacted, but the hard-copy originals are not. She said the appropriate procedure would be to copy the original file documents and then redact the copies, not hand over the originals.
"Before (the hard copies) are shown, it should be redacted," she said.
"We'll look through our file first before we would hand it to you and make sure there would be no Social Security number, credit card numbers prior to the time we would hand it to you," Hand said.
But redacting can be a long process because some of the files are "voluminous," she said.
Hand said in "new clerk" training she was instructed that original documents shouldn't be redacted, only the copies, while electronic files should be redacted, for which her office has redaction software.
Hand said the time-consuming redaction process isn't foolproof, particularly with large files, because some personal information could be overlooked.
"Typically, though, we would sit down and look through the file first before we would hand them to somebody," she said.
Calhoun County also is more susceptible to revealing personal information because it has no public access computer terminal, where electronic documents can be viewed on site. The office would like to get a computer terminal, Hand said, but she's unsure when that will happen.
Bay County
In Bay County, the hard-copy criminal files, which appeared to be originals, were redacted on the page. The same was true for the original, hard-copy civil court file, except it was done with black marker and the numbers were still visible.
Also during the visit, the clerk employee said she couldn't give out hard-copy original civil documents for this year for viewing because they weren't in the same building. She said they could only be viewed through the clerk's on-site public computer terminal.
In an interview Friday, Clerk of Court Bill Kinsaul said it's true that beginning this year civil documents are all electronic, but they can be printed out from the electronic version. He said any hard copies that enter the office are now scanned into the computer and ultimately go to be shredded. He said the practice is acceptable under the law, and oftentimes hard copies are never filed to begin with. He said lawyers are sending their documents in electronically, no longer bothering with a paper version.
Kinsaul also said that, though his office has electronic versions of court documents dating back about 10 years, they aren't all available online. He said lawyers can see all the electronic documents associated with their cases online, but the public cannot..
The state Supreme Court "has basically a moratorium where we can't display all images to the public," he said. "We would love to do that, but right now we can't."
Kinsaul said this doesn't make a lot of sense, but the public can come to the courthouse to view all the electronic documents in their entirety at the computer terminals. He believes the public eventually will get full access at home.
"I would think that's going to be lifted very, very soon," he said.
The redaction requirement presents plenty of headaches, Kinsaul said. His office is redacting manually right now as it works to install an implement redaction software.
Overall though, the move to all electronic documents and electronic redacting will save a lot of time, but the software is a big investment, costing around $100,000, Kinsaul said.
"It's very expensive," he said.

Tonyblack wrote:If I remember correctly, there aren't any epic battles in The Hobbit.
Critics were predictably divided over the decision by Jackson to film The Hobbit using high-speed 3D cameras that capture twice the normal number of frames per second, with some early audiences reporting that the filming techniques made them feel nauseous and even caused migraines.
The movie is shot at a camera speed of 48 frames per second - double that normally used.
'The results are interesting and will be much-debated, but an initial comparison of the two formats weighs against the experiment; the print shown in what is being called "high frame rate 3D," while striking in some of the big spectacle scenes, predominantly looked like ultra-vivid television video, paradoxically lending the film a oddly theatrical look,' says The Hollywood Reporter.

Midwest Living Review
You can tell when you're approaching this dairy because it is on one of the more notable inclines in Door County. It was founded by the Schopf family more than 100 years ago and is still run by about a dozen of them. The dairy produces milk, from about 600 cattle, that's sold to Land O'Lakes and distributed under that banner. You can watch all the action happen through a window in the Dairy View Country Store, which offers a short, free self-guided tour aimed at educating visitors about dairy cows' life cycle and eating habits, and how they're milked. That makes the store a nice stop for families with kids, who'll also enjoy the Schopfs' homemade ice cream on sale there. Besides standard flavors, seasonal offerings are usually available -- pumpkin or caramel apple in the fall, blueberry in the warm months. There's homemade fudge, too. Then there's the corn maze, which opens each year in August with a different design inspired by current events. It's actually split into four courses an easier maze where novices can get their footing, two tougher ones where you can try a scavenger hunt, and the "Farm Scene Investigation" maze, which debuted in 2010, where visitors play a "Clue"-like game, figuring out which farm animal kidnapped Farmer Denny and with what farm implement. For littler ones, there's also a sandbox and cool slide shaped like a giant ice cream cone, as well as goats and piglets to look at up close.

There are many ways to decorate the garden. Plant enough flowers and prune the vegetation and the backyard becomes filled with natural decor. Put several stone garden angels and replicas of breathtaking classic garden statues on display and your green space will begin to resemble an authentic Victorian garden. Buddha statues and other Asian-themed sculptures can turn a generic backyard into a fantastic Chinese or Japanese themed garden, and the right set of animal garden statues will add a wild, natural touch to even the most urban of yards. As exciting as these garden decorating ideas sound, they still might not be very appealing to fans of Gothic decor. Fortunately, when you shop at Design Toscano for backyard statuary, there are plenty of sculptures that give the backyard a wonderfully Gothic, Druidic, or mystical touch.
Gargoyles can be used to flank the entranceway to the garden or back door to the home with absolutely regal results. With its open fanged mouth, glaring eyes, and crouched posture, the Argos Sentinel Statue is perfect for this purpose. The fun Picc-a-Dilly Gargoyle Sculptures, on the other hand, look more at home guarding a bed of flowers.
Another essential statue for a Gothic-themed garden is the greenman sculpture. These mystical statues have been used in Europe for hundreds of years and fantastic decor such as the Oak King Wall Sculpture continue to add a mysterious, magical touch touch to modern day gardens.
Find the most realistic Greenman statues, gargoyles, and Gothic garden statuary at Design Toscano.

Two holidays, one memorial service, too many days out of school and one whirlwind trip to Tampa later, the winter break is finally over.
I can't say I didn't love having the kids home, because I did.
They eat a lot, though. And wear a lot of clothes. For the first time since my wedding 16 years ago, I feel like I might need a few more dishes, since we couldn't seem to get from one meal to the next without running out of forks and glasses.
As always, I'm a little sad it's all over.
The last half of the school year — although stretching over five months — will start to feel like a mad dash to the finish line.
But this two-week break also was different than most, marked by a tragedy at my children's school.
Maybe tragedy is too strong. In my mind, that word will forever be defined by the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
But staff and students at Liza Jackson Preparatory School will go back on Monday to face their own loss.
Assistant Principal Phyllis Green died right after Christmas.
She was as much a part of Liza Jackson's lore as the school's mascot or that the school is located in what used to be a Walmart.
Ms. Green had been there from the start. She smiled a lot and rushed purposefully through the hallways.
Although some otherwise hardy adults fear middle school students, Ms. Green actually liked them. She took their quirks in stride and got mad at their behavior without getting mad at them.
She was sensible, choosing simple solutions over complex ones. And really good at dealing with anxious parents — not that I would know about that one first hand.
Still, as the Sandy Hook parents already know, life goes on, with or without cherished people.
We march on because we must and because we still can.
There will be a line of parents dropping off their kids Monday morning, even if Ms. Green isn't there to meet us.
There will be schedule changes and middle school drama and tears, more than usual.
At my house it will be quiet again. It will take more than eight hours to fill the clothes hamper and the table will only need to be wiped down several times a day.
Life goes on, even when we're sad.
Life is good, mostly.

The Phoenix fell to 4-10 this afternoon after dropping a home NEAC contest against SUNYIT by a final score of 7-0. Both teams entered the game with an even number of wins and losses, but the Wildcats offense toppled over the Phoenix.
SUNYIT held a 2-0 advantage at halftime after an early pair of goals. The Wildcats added five more goals in the second half, creating a cushion for a win. Wilson had a tough time producing any type of offense against the Wildcats as they found themselves as defenders the majority of the game.
Freshman Teniera Prioleau had an action packed day in goal and tallied eight saves. Freshman Nana Ohene-Manu managed to tally four shots and one shot on goal for the Phoenix. Senior Courtney Bernecker also added a shot.
Wilson will celebrate their senior day tomorrow at home with a contest against SUNY Cobleskill beginning at 1pm.

Saint Augustine (IPA: [ɔˈɡʌstɪn] or [ˈɔɡəstɪn]) (Latin: Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis;) (November 13, 354 August 28, 430), Bishop of Hippo Regius, was a philosopher and theologian. Augustine, a Latin church father, is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. Augustine was heavily influenced by the Neo-Platonism of Plotinus. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. When the Roman Empire in the West was starting to disintegrate, Augustine developed the concept of the Church as a spiritual City of God, distinct from the material City of Man. His thought profoundly influenced the medieval worldview.
Augustine was born in the city of Tagaste, the present day Souk Ahras, Algeria, to a Catholic mother, Monica of Hippo. He was educated in North Africa and resisted his mother's pleas to become Christian. Living as a pagan intellectual, he took a concubine and became a Manichean. Later he converted to the Catholic Church, became a bishop, and opposed heresies, such as the belief that people can have the ability to choose to be good to such a degree as to merit salvation without divine aid (Pelagianism). His works—including The Confessions, which is often called the first Western autobiography—are still read around the world.
In Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion, he is a saint and pre-eminent Doctor of the Church, and the patron of the Augustinian religious order; his memorial is celebrated 28 August. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace. In the Eastern Orthodox Church he is blessed, and his feast day is celebrated on 15 June, though a minority are of the opinion that he is a heretic, primarily because of his statements concerning what became known as the filioque clause. Among the Orthodox he is called Blessed Augustine, or St. Augustine the Blessed.
The young provincial won the job and headed north to take up his position in late 384. At age thirty, Augustine had won the most visible academic chair in the Latin world, at a time when such posts gave ready access to political careers. However, he felt the tensions of life at an imperial court, lamenting one day as he rode in his carriage to deliver a grand speech before the emperor, that a drunken beggar he passed on the street had a less careworn existence than he did.
It was at Milan that Augustine's life changed. While still at Carthage, he had begun to move away from Manichaeism, in part because of a disappointing meeting with a key exponent of Manichaean theology. In Rome, he is reported to have completely turned away from Manichaeanism, and instead embraced the skepticism of the New Academy movement. At Milan, his mother Monica pressured him to become a Catholic. Augustine's own studies in Neoplatonism were also leading him in this direction, and his friend Simplicianus urged him that way as well. But it was the bishop of Milan, Ambrose, who had most influence over Augustine. Ambrose was a master of rhetoric like Augustine himself, but older and more experienced.
Augustine's mother had followed him to Milan and he allowed her to arrange a society marriage, for which he abandoned his concubine (however he had to wait two years until his fiancée came of age; he promptly took up in the meantime with another woman). It was during this period that he uttered his famous prayer, "Grant me chastity and continence, but not yet" (da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo).
In the summer of 386, after having read an account of the life of Saint Anthony of the Desert which greatly inspired him, Augustine underwent a profound personal crisis and decided to convert to Catholic Christianity, abandon his career in rhetoric, quit his teaching position in Milan, give up any ideas of marriage, and devote himself entirely to serving God and the practices of priesthood, which included celibacy. Key to this conversion was the voice of an unseen child he heard while in his garden in Milan telling him in a sing-song voice to tolle lege ("take up and read"). He grabbed the nearest text to him, which was Paul's Epistle to the Romans and opened it at random to 13:13-14, which read: "Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying; but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. He would detail his spiritual journey in his famous Confessions, which became a classic of both Christian theology and world literature. Ambrose baptized Augustine, along with his son, Adeodatus, on Easter Vigil in 387 in Milan, and soon thereafter in 388 he returned to Africa. On his way back to Africa his mother died, as did his son soon after, leaving him alone in the world without family.
Upon his return to north Africa he sold his patrimony and gave the money to the poor. The only thing he kept was the family house, which he converted into a monastic foundation for himself and a group of friends. In 391 he was ordained a priest in Hippo Regius (now Annaba, in Algeria). He became a famous preacher (more than 350 preserved sermons are believed to be authentic), and was noted for combating the Manichaean religion, to which he had formerly adhered.
In 396 he was made coadjutor bishop of Hippo (assistant with the right of succession on the death of the current bishop), and became full bishop shortly thereafter. He remained in this position at Hippo until his death in 430. Augustine worked tirelessly in trying to convince the people of Hippo, who were diverse racial and religious group, to convert to the Catholic faith. He left his monastery, but continued to lead a monastic life in the episcopal residence. He left a rule (Latin, regula) for his monastery that has led him to be designated the "patron saint of regular clergy", that is, clergy who live by a monastic rule.
Much of Augustine's later life was recorded by his friend Possidius, bishop of Calama, in his Sancti Augustini Vita. Possidius admired Augustine as a man of powerful intellect and a stirring orator who took every opportunity to defend the Catholic faith against all detractors. Possidius also described Augustine's personal traits in detail, drawing a portrait of a man who ate sparingly, worked tirelessly, despised gossip, shunned the temptations of the flesh, and exercised prudence in the financial stewardship of his see.
Shortly before Augustine's death, Roman Africa was overrun by the Vandals, a warlike tribe with Arrian sympathies. They had entered Africa at the instigation of Count Boniface, but soon turned to lawlessness, plundering private citizens and churches and killing many of the inhabitants. The Vandals arrived in the spring of 430 to besiege Hippo and during that time, Augustine endured his final illness.
Possidius records that one of the few miracles attributed to Augustine took place during the siege. While Augustine was confined to his sick bed, a man petitioned him that he might lay his hands upon a relative who was ill. Augustine replied that if he had any power to cure the sick, he would surely have applied it on himself first. The visitor declared that he was told in a dream to go to Augustine so that his relative would be made whole. When Augustine heard this, he no longer hesitated, but laid his hands upon the sick man, who departed from Augustine's presence healed.
Possidius also gives a first-hand account of Augustine's death, which occurred on August 28, 430, during the siege of Hippo by the Vandals. Augustine spent his final days in prayer and repentance, requesting that the penitential Psalms of David be hung on his walls so that he could read them. He directed that the library of the church in Hippo and all the books therein should be carefully preserved. Shortly after his death, the Vandals raised the siege of Hippo, but they returned not long thereafter and burned the city. They destroyed all of it but Augustine's cathedral and library, which they left untouched.
Tradition indicates that Augustine's body was later moved to Pavia, where it is said to remain to this day. Another tradition, however, claims that his remains were moved to Cagliari (Karalis) in a small chapel at the base of a hill, on the summit of which lies the sanctuary of Bonaria. The chapel bears an ancient, weathered stone plaque with an inscription leading to St.Augustine's remains.
Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles. They include apologetic works against the heresies of the Arians, Donatists, Manichaeans and Pelagians, texts on Christian doctrine, notably De doctrina Christiana (On Christian Doctrine), exegetical works such as commentaries on Book of Genesis, the Psalms and Paul's Letter to the Romans, many sermons and letters, and the Retractationes (Retractions), a review of his earlier works which he wrote near the end of his life. Apart from those, Augustine is probably best known for his Confessiones (Confessions), which is a personal account of his earlier life, and for De civitate Dei (The City of God, consisting of 22 books), which he wrote to restore the confidence of his fellow Christians, which was badly shaken by the sack of Rome by the Visigoths in 410. His De Trinitate (On the Trinity), in which he developed what has become known as the 'psychological analogy' of the Trinity, is also among his masterpieces, and arguably one of the greatest theological works of all time.
Augustine was a bishop, priest, and father who remains a central figure, both within Christianity and in the history of Western thought, and is considered by modern historian Thomas Cahill to be the first medieval man and the last classical man. In both his philosophical and theological reasoning, he was greatly influenced by Stoicism, Platonism and Neo-platonism, particularly by the work of Plotinus, author of the Enneads, probably through the mediation of Porphyry and Victorinus (as Pierre Hadot has argued). Although he later abandoned Neo-Platonism some ideas are still visible in his early writings. His generally favorable view of Neoplatonic thought contributed to the "baptism" of Greek thought and its entrance into the Christian and subsequently the European intellectual tradition. His early and influential writing on the human will, a central topic in ethics, would become a focus for later philosophers such as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. In addition, Augustine was influenced by the works of Virgil (known for his teaching on language), Cicero (known for his teaching on argument), and Aristotle (particularly his Rhetoric and Poetics).
Augustine's concept of original sin was expounded in his works against the Pelagians. However, Eastern Orthodox theologians, while they believe all humans were damaged by the original sin of Adam and Eve, have key disputes with Augustine about this doctrine, and as such this is viewed as a key source of division between East and West. His writings helped formulate the theory of the just war. He also advocated the use of force against the Donatists, asking "Why... should not the Church use force in compelling her lost sons to return, if the lost sons compelled others to their destruction?" (The Correction of the Donatists, 22–24). St. Thomas Aquinas took much from Augustine's theology while creating his own unique synthesis of Greek and Christian thought after the widespread rediscovery of the work of Aristotle. While Augustine's doctrine of divine predestination and efficacious grace would never be wholly forgotten within the Roman Catholic Church, finding eloquent expression in the works of Bernard of Clairvaux, Reformation theologians such as Martin Luther and John Calvin would look back to him as the inspiration for their avowed capturing of the Biblical Gospel. Bishop John Fisher of Rochester, a chief opponent of Luther, articulated an Augustinian view of grace and salvation consistent with Church doctrine, thus encompassing both Augustine's soteriology and his teaching on the authority of and obedience to the Catholic Church. Later, within the Roman Catholic Church, the writings of Cornelius Jansen, who claimed heavy influence from Augustine, would form the basis of the movement known as Jansenism.
Augustine was canonized by popular acclaim, and later recognized as a Doctor of the Church in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII. His feast day is August 28, the day on which he died. He is considered the patron saint of brewers, printers, theologians, sore eyes, and a number of cities and dioceses.
The latter part of Augustine's Confessions consists of an extended meditation on the nature of time. Even the agnostic philosopher Bertrand Russell was impressed by this. He wrote, "a very admirable relativistic theory of time. ... It contains a better and clearer statement than Kant's of the subjective theory of time - a theory which, since Kant, has been widely accepted among philosophers. Catholic theologians generally subscribe to Augustine's belief that God exists outside of time in the "eternal present"; that time only exists within the created universe because only in space is time discernible through motion and change. His meditations on the nature of time are closely linked to his consideration of the human ability of memory. Frances Yates in her 1966 study The Art of Memory argues that a brief passage of the Confessions, X.8.12, in which Augustine writes of walking up a flight of stairs and entering the vast fields of memory clearly indicates that the ancient Romans were aware of how to use explicit spatial and architectural metaphors as a mnemonic technique for organizing large amounts of information.
Augustine's philosophical method, especially demonstrated in his Confessions, has had continuing influence on Continental philosophy throughout the 20th century. His descriptive approach to intentionality, memory, and language as these phenomena are experienced within consciousness and time anticipated and inspired the insights of modern phenomenology and hermeneutics. Edmund Husserl writes: "The analysis of time-consciousness is an age-old crux of descriptive psychology and theory of knowledge. The first thinker to be deeply sensitive to the immense difficulties to be found here was Augustine, who laboured almost to despair over this problem. Martin Heidegger refers to Augustine's descriptive philosophy at several junctures in his influential work, Being and Time. Hannah Arendt, the much appreciated phenomenologist of social and political life, began her philosophical writing with a dissertation on Augustine's concept of love, Der Liebesbegriff bei Augustin (1929): "The young Arendt attempted to show that the philosophical basis for vita socialis in Augustine can be understood as residing in neighbourly love, grounded in his understanding of the common origin of humanity. Jean Bethke Elshtain in Augustine and the Limits of Politics finds likeness between Augustine and Arendt in their concepts of evil: "Augustine did not see evil as glamorously demonic but rather as absence of good, something which paradoxically is really nothing. Arendt ... envisioned even the extreme evil which produced the Holocaust as merely banal [in Eichmann in Jerusalem]. Augustine's philosophical legacy continues to influence contemporary critical theory through the contributions and inheritors of these 20th century figures.
According to Leo Ruickbie, Augustine's arguments against magic, differentiating it from miracle, were crucial in the early Church's fight against paganism and became a central thesis in the later denunciation of witches and witchcraft. According to Professor Deepak Lal, Augustine's vision of the heavenly city has influenced the secular projects and traditions of the Enlightenment, Marxism, Freudianism and Eco-fundamentalism.
On the topic of original sin, Aquinas proposed a more optimistic view of man than that of Augustine in that his conception leaves to the reason, will, and passions of fallen man their natural powers even after the Fall.
A more clear distinction between "metaphorical" and "literal" in literary texts arose with the rise of the Scientific Revolution, although its source could be found in earlier writings, such as those of Herodotus (5th century BC). It was even considered heretical to interpret the Bible literally at times
In "The Literal Interpretation of Genesis" Augustine took the view that everything in the universe was created simultaneously by God, and not in seven calendar days like a plain account of Genesis would require. He argued that the six-day structure of creation presented in the book of Genesis represents a logical framework, rather than the passage of time in a physical way - it would bear a spiritual, rather than physical, meaning, which is no less literal. Augustine also does not envision original sin as originating structural changes in the universe, and even suggests that the bodies of Adam and Eve were already created mortal before the Fall. Apart from his specific views, Augustine recognizes that the interpretation of the creation story is difficult, and remarks that we should be willing to change our mind about it as new information comes up.
In "The City of God", Augustine rejected both the immortality of the human race proposed by pagans, and contemporary ideas of ages (such as those of certain Greeks and Egyptians) that differed from the Church's sacred writings:
Augustine viewed that a major result of original sin was disobedience of the flesh to the spirit as a punishment of their disobedience to God:
This view that sex was an evil was prevalent in Augustine's time. Plotinus, a neo-Platonist that Augustine praises in his Confessions, taught that only through disdain for fleshly desire could one reach the ultimate state of mankind. Augustine, likewise, had served as a "Hearer" for the Manicheans for about nine years, and they also taught that the original sin was carnal knowledge.
In his pre-Pelagian writings, Augustine taught that Original Sin was transmitted by concupiscence (roughly, lust), making humanity a massa damnata (mass of perdition, condemned crowd) and much enfeebling, though not destroying, the freedom of the will. In the struggle against Pelagianism, the principles of Augustine's teaching were confirmed by many councils, especially the Second Council of Orange (529). Anselm of Canterbury established the definition that was followed by the great Schoolmen, namely that Original Sin is the "privation of the righteousness which every man ought to possess", thus separating it from concupiscence, with which Augustine's disciples had often defined it, as later did Luther and Calvin, who instead of seeing concupiscence, like Augustine, as a vehicle of transmission of Original Sin actually equated the two, a doctrine condemned in 1567 by Pope Pius V.
Augustine's formulation of the doctrine of original sin has substantially influenced both Catholic and Reformed (that is, Calvinist) theology. His understanding of sin and grace was developed against that of Pelagius. Expositions on the topics are found in his works On Original Sin, On the Predestination of the Saints, On the Gift of Perseverance and On Nature and Grace.
Original sin, according to Augustine, consists of the guilt of Adam which all human beings inherit. As sinners, human beings are utterly depraved in nature, lack the freedom to do good, and cannot respond to the will of God without divine grace. Grace is irresistible, results in conversion, and leads to perseverance. Augustine's idea of predestination rests on the assertion that God has foreordained, from eternity, those who will be saved. The number of the elect is fixed. God has chosen the elect certainly and gratuitously, without any previous merit (ante merita) on their part.
The Roman Catholic Church considers Augustine's teaching to be consistent with free will. He often said that any can be saved if they wish. While God knows who will be saved and who won't, with no possibility that one destined to be lost will be saved, this knowledge represents God's perfect knowledge of how humans will freely choose their destinies.
Augustine's ecclesiology was more fully developed in City of God. There he conceives of the church as a heavenly city or kingdom, ruled by love, which will ultimately triumph over all earthly empires which are self-indulgent and ruled by pride. Augustine followed Cyprian in teaching that the bishops of the church are the successors of the apostles.
In addition, he believed in papal supremacy.
Against the Pelagians Augustine strongly stressed the importance of infant baptism. He believed that no one would be saved unless he or she had received baptism in order to be cleansed from original sin. He also maintained that unbaptized children would go to hell. It was not until the 12th century that pope Innocent III accepted the doctrine of limbo as promulgated by Peter Abelard. It was the place where the unbaptized went and suffered no pain but, as the Church maintained, being still in a state of original sin, they did not deserve Paradise, therefore they did not know happiness either. The Church of England disavowed the state of original sin in the 16th century. Non-conformist religions such as the Unitarians and the Quakers never held to the concept. The Eastern Orthdox position is that Original Sin does not carry over the guilt of Original Sin (which only Adam himself is guilty of) but only the consequences of Original Sin. For this reason, they disagree with Augustine's belief that unbaptized infants will go to hell or to even a state of limbo as advocated by Anselm.
Augustine taught that the eternal fate of the soul is determined at death, and that purgatorial fires of the intermediate state purify only those that died in communion with the Church. His teaching provided fuel for later theology.
In the Confessions, Augustine describes his personal struggle in vivid terms: "But I, wretched, most wretched, in the very commencement of my early youth, had begged chastity of Thee, and said, 'Grant me chastity and continence, only not yet.' At sixteen Augustine moved to Carthage where again he was plagued by this "wretched sin":
For Augustine, the evil was not in the sexual act itself, but rather in the emotions that typically accompany it. To the pious virgins raped during the sack of Rome, he writes, "Truth, another's lust cannot pollute thee." Chastity is "a virtue of the mind, and is not lost by rape, but is lost by the intention of sin, even if unperformed."
In short, Augustine's life experience led him to consider lust to be one of the most grievous sins, and a serious obstacle to the virtuous life.
Augustine also quotes part of the same prophecy that says "Slay them not, lest they should at last forget Thy law" (Psalm 59:11). Augustine argued that God had allowed the Jews to survive this dispersion as a warning to Christians, thus they were to be permitted to dwell in Christian lands. Augustine further argued that the Jews would be converted at the end of time.
In the summer of 2008, this aspect of Augustine's thought (i.e., the gravity of abortion vis-a-vis the ensoulment of the fetus) was used by the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, in defence of her pro-choice political stance. She quoted one of his works, in which he wrote:
"The law does not provide that the act [abortion] pertains to homicide, for there cannot yet be said to be a live soul in a body that lacks sensation.'
In the week following her comments, she was corrected by numerous American bishops, such as Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver, who wrote: "In the absence of modern medical knowledge, some of the Early Fathers held that abortion was homicide; others that it was tantamount to homicide; and various scholars theorized about when and how the unborn child might be animated or "ensouled." But none diminished the unique evil of abortion as an attack on life itself...
Of all the fathers of the church, St. Augustine was the most admired and the most influential during the Middle Ages... Augustine was an outsider - a native North African whose family was not Roman but Berber... He was a genius - an intellectual giant.

Discover More Ideas You'll Need
Telescope Floor Lamp Base 11 11
Easy to assemble and looks great! Let me start off by saying I NEVER review products. But with all the complements that I've received in just 1 week of having this lamp, there's no way I couldn't write one. This product adds just the right amount of light to a medium sized room. It is a wonderful conversation piece and it fits any style. My husband and I rarely agree on decor and this is a piece that satisfies us both. Definitely recommend this product to anyone who's got a taste for something other than your average lamp! October 14, 2013
COOL LAMP So, I love this lamp. I have some rustic elements mixed with modern elements in my home. I opted to purchase this lamp base and I added a cool, oversized silver metal drumshade that I picked up elsewhere. This lamp easily looks as if it costs 2 to 3 times what I paid for it. As others have mentioned, I did struggle somewhat with making sure I got the legs tightened, but I managed to work it out. Some people have expressed concern with the cord running down the middle. I think the lamp looks good, especially if you want somewhat of an industrial element. I currently have it positioned behind a sectional sofa. I think it adds the perfect amount of character. December 31, 2012
Great Addition to My Living Room I had been looking at this lamp for 3 months before I broke down and bought it. Comparing it to similar style lamps from other stores which were 2x's the price, I couldn't go wrong with this lamp. I bought it with the cord lamp shade and after a little trial and error with height adjustments, it looked great! November 22, 2012
loved it! I recently purchased two of these lamps and received them two days ago- so far I'm very pleased! Unlike the previous reviewer who was complaining about a smell, I didn't have that problem. The lamps were very easy to put together and I realized that the metal stem in the centerof the lamp can move vertically, allowing you to rasie the shade and add even more height to the lamp, if you'd like to. I love it and I think it's a fantastic buy! November 1, 2012
great architectural lamp Got it on sale and it was a good value. Didn't have any odor problems like a previous reviewer did. Looks great, but a little wobbly. Make sure you tighten the bolts w/ a tool otherwise the legs will move. Seen other lamps like these for much more. Would look great in both traditional and modern settings. Not to thrilled with black cord running down center and pooling on floor;could have done better at concealing it. Overall, would recommend. November 12, 2012
Poor Quality For over $100 , I would expect better quality. The wooden legs are starting to bend/warp! The tightening mechanism on all of the legs do not work well, and often I find my lamp lopsided. I wouldn't spend more than $60 on a lamp like this for the quality you get. Disappointing. June 22, 2015
poor construction I bought this lamp because I love the look but the construction is very poor. The top plastic piece that holds the light-bulb broke after a couple months. It tips over very easily. The lamp legs are very flimsy. I was very upset since I liked the look a lot. May 14, 2014
Looks great.. very poor quality Loved the look of this lamp.. but like many posted here the actual product is not as good looking.. cord is in fact unsightly and overall it is VERY poorly constructed… the screws that hold the legs and top post in place are very cheap metal.. the legs slip.. the top post will creep down.. rarely stays level because of the poor materials.. (Two of the brackets that hold the legs broke on mine within a few months) I have a number of pieces from World Market and this is the only thing which was not well made.. returning mine tomorrow.. although it looks good.. I do not recommend this item at all.. December 24, 2013

The New York Jets were the first franchise to get into the alternate market when they donned their 25th anniversary of Super Bowl III "fauxbacks" in 1993. Not to be outdone, the rest of the NFL joined them in 1994, dusting off throwback looks from various eras as the league celebrated its 75th season.The trend coincided with the throwback mania in pop culture as hipsters and hip-hoppers stepped out in the latest $350 Mitchell & Ness re-creation. Owners quickly realized fans were eager to double or triple down on alternate and/or nostalgic team merchandise.Some of the following uniforms started out as alternates before becoming the team's primary look due to popular demand. The others should be.(A special thanks to the Gridiron Uniform Database for compiling the most comprehensive source of NFL uniforms on the interwebs).
