If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
I have just made myself a nice enfold wordpress blog and would like my facebook page to look as good as my website!
There is no "enfold for facebook" is it?
No at the moment I am afraid since Facebook doesnt want to lose its branding if everyone starts having personal pages with different looks and feels.. Good idea though!
The topic 'Enfold for facebook?' is closed to new replies.

Short break in historical setting
Weather when we arrived in the evening was very atmospheric with.
misty grey skies. Staff were friendly and helpful. Comfortable clean room with good selection for making tea & coffee. We could have done with more plain tea bags but I a m sure we only had to ask for extra and they would have been provided. We had breakfast and dinner there and meals were generous portions. Didn't have the Sunday lunch carvery but it looked good. Daphne du Maurier museum interesting. New management seem to have good ideas for making inn an interesting venue even a farm shop due to be opening.

Israeli air strike destroys 12-story building in Gaza wounding 18
An Israeli air strike on Saturday evening leveled a 12-story apartment building in the heart of Gaza City, wounding at least 18 people, 10 of them children, and leaving dozens of Palestinian families homeless.
Residents in the 12-story Zafer 4 building were called by the Israeli military 10 minutes before the attack and told to evacuate, sparking a stampede as dozens of people ran down to the street, neighbors said.
Two missiles then slammed into the complex, reducing it to a pile of dusty rubble and sparking panic in the area as the tower collapsed on top of itself amid a massive cloud of smoke and debris, witnesses said.
An Israeli army spokeswoman told AFP a Hamas military operations room had been located in the building.
Veiled women wept as they stumbled down the street, cradling young children.
"They called some residents and said 'evacuate, the tower will be shelled'. We escaped to my neighbor and in minutes they destroyed it," said Sanaa Joda, who lived in the building.
A video from Shehab News Agency that could not be verified appeared to show the destruction of the building from a number of angles.

Bombardier Rolls Out First NetJets Global 6000
Bombardier Aerospace and NetJets celebrated the rollout of the fractional provider's first Global-series jet on January 31, a Global 6000 (neé XRS). Last March, NetJets placed an order for 50 Globals worth $2.8 billion, as well as options for 70 more, breaking the fractional provider's tradition of buying only Gulfstreams for its large-cabin fleets. NetJets' Global 6000s, to be configured for up to 13 passengers, will feature an aft-cabin stateroom and full-service galley. NetJets' firm order includes 30 ultra-long-range Global 5000s and 6000s, with deliveries set to begin in the fourth quarter; and 20 extended-range Global 7000s and 8000s, for delivery starting in 2017.

Ask A Chicago Expert: Best Ways To Discover New MusicThe mega festival sells out each year, but you know that a city that has produced Buddy Guy, Herbie Hancock, Muddy Waters, Styx, Smashing Pumpkins, Rise Against and Kanye West likely has the next trend producer playing at a local joint. Indeed, the city overflows with bars and even BBQ storefronts that welcome, as they say, "live music."
A Guide To Al Capone's ChicagoMost of Al Capone's old haunts have vanished. Chicago's elected leaders have taken care to wash away most of the evidence connecting the city to the man known as Scarface, history's most notorious gangster. But if you know where to look, you can still catch a glimpse of Capone and the members of his outfit.

2015 NQC – Saturday Night Recap
The 2015 National Quartet Convention has come to a close. The NQC closed on a high note. I stayed awake the entire night and heard some strong performances. Lets close out NQC 2015 with some final hits and misses. I also want to thank all my readers who came to read my recaps for the week. You're the only reason I keep this blog running.
- I was thoroughly impressed with 11th Hour's set tonight. They had perfect song selection with four of their hits along with a performance of "He Will Row You Over The Tide" with just piano. Loved it!
- Libbi absolutely owned the Joel Hemphill classic, "I Claim The Blood". This was a signature song for LaBreeska Hemphill 30 years ago. Glad the Perrys performed this song tonight.
- The night started strong with the Nelons. I never tire of hearing Kelly and the group perform "O For A Thousand Tongues"; one of Southern Gospel's all time greatest songs.
- "I Am Blessed" was a great set opener for Karen Peck & New River. I just wish the rest of their set, with the exception of "We Shall Wear A Robe And Crown", had that same intensity.
- I am really enjoying Triumphant Quartet's latest single, "Living In Harmony". It has found a permanent home in my current set of musical playlists.
- I have been impressed with the Jim Brady Trio this week. They closed out their week's worth of performances with a power house performance of "No Wonder They Call Him Savior".
- I wish every night of NQC was set up like Saturday night. The program moved from one artist to the next, nothing but music. The only down time was for artists to get ready. No one on the stage talking about their latest book for sale and no silly video on the screens.
- I enjoyed the 'this is my story, this is my song' intros they used several times this week.
- Whoever was responsible for setting the performance schedule tonight messed up when they placed Southern Raised last on the program (before the finale). With the absence of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver and the Isaacs this year, Southern Raised filled that bluegrass void. They turned in a strong performance but their placement on the evening was all wrong. They needed an earlier stage time. Karen Peck & New River closing their set with "We Shall Wear A Robe And Crown" would have flowed nicely in to the #1 hits finale.
- I don't understand the time given to Ernie Haase & Signature Sound for their two sets this week. Each set gave the group the chance to perform three songs with hardly any talking to take up time. What??
- As is the case every year, the end of the week gives us recycled songs already heard earlier in the week.
**Now to crown the best of the night:
Best single song performances (in order of appearance): (1) "O For A Thousand Tongues" – Nelons (2) "No Wonder They Call Him The Savior" – Jim Brady Trio (3) "In My Robe Of White" – Gold City (4) "I'll Know I'm Home" – Kingdom Heirs (5) "Jesus Is In The House" – 11th Hour (6) "He Will Row You Over The Tide" – 11th Hour (**Favorite song performance of the evening) (7) "I Claim The Blood" – Perrys (8) "We Are The Church" – LeFevre Quartet (9) "Not Afraid To Trust Him" – Whisnants (10) "Living In Harmony" – Triumphant Quartet (11) "I Am Blessed" – Karen Peck and New River
Best Set of the Night: As pleased as I was with the entire evening, I will have to give best set to 11th Hour.
2015 NQC – Tuesday Night Recap
Tuesday night of the 2015 National Quartet Convention is now in the record books. The night overall was mediocre. But, a few performances broke through the mediocrity to make the hit list.
- How good is it to see Pat Barker on the stage again? I didn't realize he was doing the Cathedral reunion concerts. The closing performance of "We Shall See Jesus" was stellar!
- The Perrys performed a new song tonight that has future hit written all over it; "Keep On". Their set seemed fairly short overall, with only three songs.
- One of the best family groups touring right now has got to be the Nelons. Their harmony is phenomenal and I have already said it many times, but Amber Thompson is the best there is!
- Thank you Mark Bishop for one of the most quirky, awkwardly awesome sets of music I have ever seen performed on the NQC stage. Performing with his daughters and other band members, known as Forget The Sea, the style presented was reminiscent of folk/rock group, Of Monsters And Men. I look forward to listening to the album when it releases in January.
- I never tire of hearing Brian Lester perform, "He Didn't Throw The Clay Away". The Lesters heritage is the longest in Southern Gospel music.
- Another Southern Gospel legend, Ray Dean Reese of the Kingsmen is still hitting those low notes for the group. Working on 50 years performing with the same group. Awesome.
- After a fast paced, muddled start to their set, the Inspirations closed with a nice acappella version of Squire Parsons classic, "Beulah Land".
- Overall, the program once again moved along with very little down time in between artists.
- "The Love Of God" has already been performed by three different groups this week and it is only night three.
- One of the many things the audience receives when watching/listening via webcast is every poorly sung note. The amount of singers who were off pitch, flat and just had a train wreck of a long drawn out song ending were too many to count. But, live performances are not supposed to be vocally perfect.
**Now to crown the best of the night:
Best single song performances (in order of appearance): (1) "Keep On" – Perrys (2) "Loving The Lamb" – Mark Trammell Quartet (3) "Then Came The Morning" – Nelons (4) "He Didn't Throw The Clay Away" – Lesters (5) "Baptize Me" – Mark Bishop & Forget The Sea (6) "As We Speak" – Greater Vision (7) "I've Never Seen The Righteous Forsaken" – Kingsmen (8) "It Matters To The Master" – Collingsworth Family (9) "We Shall See Jesus" – Cathedral Reunion (**Favorite song performance of the evening)
Best Set of the Night: Like last night, another strong closing. Best set goes to the Cathedral Reunion segment.
Ten On Ten (Redux) – Nelons
This week the ten on ten (redux) will re-visit the Nelons. On September 19th, 2011 I presented the original ten on ten feature for the Nelons highlighting the group's ten best albums. Since that time, the Nelons released Come On Home (2012), An Evening In December (2012) and Hymns: The A Cappella Sessions (2014). While one of the albums got close, none of the three changed the original top ten list. This redux feature will now shine the spotlight on the three lowest ranking albums of the group's career thus far. First, the original list highlighting the Nelons ten best recordings.
- Get Ready (1988)
- Thanks (1987)
- We Shall Behold The King (1983)
- Let The Redeemed Say So (1989)
- Live (1978)
- United For Christ (2002)
- In One Accord (1985)
- Expressions Of Love (1980)
- The Sun's Coming Up (1977)
- A New Generation (1991)
The lowest ranked albums in the Nelons discography are as follows:
- We've Got To Praise Him (1997)
- You Are God (2008)
- I've Never Been This Homesick Before (1978)
***One disclaimer in ranking an artists best albums to come up with albums at the bottom of the list. I do not include all the budget recordings an artist may have recorded during their career***
The Fab Five – February 2015
Kicking off February as I do each month, providing readers the five most played Southern Gospel radio songs in my musical playlists the preceding month. The Gaither Vocal Band tops the list in February, while the Wisecarvers, Jeff & Sheri Easter, Akins and the Nelons round out the top five. Enjoy!

Final 2014 Wrap Up
On this final day of 2014, I want to quickly wrap up the year that was in Southern Gospel music. Since we just ended our countdown, I always get asked every year what album just missed making the top 20 and also what album was your lowest ranked of all the albums listened to. I will reveal both now.
First, the rest of the best; the albums that just missed making the top 20:
- (21) Drive – Doug Anderson
- (22) Welcome Home – Joseph Habedank
- (23) Forever: 80th Anniversary Recording – Blackwood Brothers
- (24) Hymns: The A Cappella Sessions – Nelons
- (25) This Is What It's All About – Mark Bishop
And the album that ranked lowest of all the albums I listened to in 2014 was:
- God's Word Will Stand – Inspirations; with the exception of two songs ("Faithful Friend" and "It's Not Long Until Forever") this may be the weakest Inspirations album in their entire 50 year discography. If I would have reviewed this album it would have gotten a 'D' on my grading scale.
I want to honor all those Southern Gospel has lost in 2014:
- Roy Bray (Southmen Quartet)
- Richard Carper (Southern Gospel music promoter)
- Bobby Clark (Cathedrals)
- Colbert Croft (Songwriter)
- Norman Holland (Southern Gospel music executive)
- Bob Johnson (Speers)
- Charles Johnson (Charles Johnson & Revivers)
- Don Light (Talent Agent)
- Mary Tom Speer Reid (Speers)
- Jack Smith (Happy Goodmans)
- Ed Sprouse (Blue Ridge Quartet)
- Clark Thompson (Rangers Trio)
- Eddie Wallace (Sunshine Boys)
- Norman Wilson (Primitive Quartet)
Each month I present readers the Fab Five feature that ranks the most played Southern Gospel radio songs in my iPod/music playlists over the preceding month. Here are the ten most played songs for the entire year 2014.
- "How Will You Plead" – 11th Hour
- "Falling" – Amber Nelon Thompson
- "Empty Me Lord" – Primitive Quartet
- "Meanwhile Back At The Cross" – Gordon Mote
- "Not Afraid To Trust Him" – Whisnants
- "I'll Take You Home" – Hoppers
- "When Justice Called, Mercy Answered" – Erwins
- "I'll Know I'm Home" – Kingdom Heirs
- "The Blood And Its Power" – Perrys
- "The Sun's Coming Up" – Nelons
- In Honor: Norman Wilson
- The Southern Gospel Story Of My Life (1982)
- 2014 NQC – Saturday Night Recap
- Sometimes It Takes A Mountain – Gaither Vocal Band
- 2014 NQC – Thursday Night Recap
Looking ahead to 2015, I plan to get back to some of the most popular features of the site (Smack Down; Southern Gospel Story Of My Life; Ten On Ten – Revisited). I will continue to provide readers with album reviews, NQC recaps and my annual countdown. I also plan to start a new 'hard hitting' commentary that will address issues within Southern Gospel music industry. Look forward to having you along for the ride.
1st Annual Southern Gospel Views From The Back Row Honors – Wrap Up
The 1st annual Southern Gospel Views from the Back Row honors is now in the record books. I initially chose the five nominees in each category that I thought best represented Southern Gospel music in 2014. I then let you, the reader, decide on the best of the year. Here were your decisions and a brief statement of each category.
I want to thank everyone who participated in the voting rounds. While I am not a huge fan of 'fan' voted popularity award shows, I do enjoy an awards program that honors the best in a specific musical genre for a given year.
Recorded Song of the Year (song recorded on a 2014 release, did not have to be a radio single)
- "Say Amen" – Jason Cox/Michael Farren/Kenna Turner West; recorded by Brian Free & Assurance (Unashamed)
I am not surprised at the reader's decision here. "Say Amen" was one of the biggest recorded songs of the year and this would not be the only win for this particular song. If I was asked to choose the winner of the five nominees, my choice would have been "Falling" by Amber Nelon Thompson. I have not heard a more exquisite song in Southern Gospel music.
Album of the Year (had to be a 2014 release)
- Your Walk Talks – Mark Trammell Quartet (Crimson Road Records)
Quartets will always dominate when stacked up against other artists, such was the case with Your Walk Talks winning album of the year. No doubt this was Mark Trammell Quartet's best album release to date. My choice would have been Church In The Kitchen by the Dunaways.
Radio Single of the Year (had to be a chart hit from January 2014 to current)
- "Long Live The King" – Chris Binion/Dianne Wilkinson; recorded by Old Paths (These Truths)
The readers gave the Old Paths a couple of wins in 2014 including radio single of the year. You and I were on the same page with this category as "Long Live The King" was also my choice.
Song Cover of the Year (a previously recorded song covered on a 2014 album release)
- "When He Calls, I'll Fly Away" – Talleys (The Test Of Time); Vep Ellis
If the readers were not choosing traditional quartet options, you were going for traditional quartet songs. The Talleys cover of "When He Call, I'll Fly Away" dominated the song cover of the year category. Good choice, but I would have given the honor to Master's Voice for their cover of "The Saving Kind".
Video – Short Form (best concept video – links to the videos will be provided during the voting rounds)
- "Say Amen" – Brian Free & Assurance
"Say Amen" picked up a second win with short form (concept) video of the year. The popularity of the song definitely carried over to the video win. I particularly loved the mainstream country treatment given to the Freemans video for "Where I've Been". That would have been my choice.
- Dianne Wilkinson
No one can argue the choice for songwriter of the year. I was glad to see Kenna Turner West rising among the ranks of well deserved songwriters and see her finished second to Dianne.
Songwriting Collab
- Jason Cox/Michael Farrren/Kenna Turner West
Give "Say Amen" its third win for the year as the songwriting collaboration team of Jason Cox, Michael Farren and Kenna Turner West win the songwriting collab of the year. Just like my recorded song choice, I would have chosen Gina Boe, Ronnie Freeman and Tony Wood the win for collaborating on "Falling".
- Old Paths
Even though "Say Amen" dominated and gave Brian Free & Assurance (3) wins, the Old Paths would win the quartet prize. This gave the Old Paths two wins for the year. Good to see this quartet finally getting recognition. Old Paths would have also been my choice for 2014.
Mixed Group (at least 4 vocalists)
- Nelons
The Nelons moving to a four vocal configuration allowed them to pull off a win for mixed group of the year. The music this group has given Southern Gospel listening audiences the last several years makes this a well deserved honor. The Nelons were my choice as well.
Duo/Trio (no more than 3 vocalists)
- Greater Vision
When the Booth Brothers are not a contender for trio, you are guaranteed that Greater Vision will be there to claim the prize. Greater Vision did have a great year with the success of radio songs from their For All He's Done album. If I was looking at just 2014, I would have given the prize to 11th Hour.
Solo Artist
- Taranda Greene
Stronger will end up being one of the top album releases of 2014. Taranda has already proven she is one of the top female voices in any genre of music. Well deserved win; my choice as well.
- Erwins
Erwins fans came out in force and crushed the competition for new artist of the year. Erwins fans know what they were talking about because the Erwins was also my choice for best new artist of 2014.
Most Underrated (based on 2014 releases/hit singles)
- Ball Brothers
The Ball Brothers have been around Southern Gospel music now for nearly a decade and still get very little recognition. Winning most underrated is fitting. The artist I would have chosen fits in to the same mold; the Dunaways.
Cutting Edge (artists who create their own sound/think outside the box)
- Brian Free & Assurance
As you already see, Brian Free & Assurance were the big winners of 2014. Winning cutting edge gave the group their 4th honor. My choice for the year would have gone to Akins.
Concert Performer/Touring Artist (artists selling out venues in 2014)
- Booth Brothers
After the Collingsworth Family led this category for most of the week it was up, the Booth Brothers squeaked out a win in the end, proving they are still at the height of their popularity. If I was hand picking the winners, the Collingsworth Family would have been my choice.
- Kim Collingsworth (Collingsworth Family)
No surprise Kim Collingsworth was honored with pianist of the year. Fans love her. My choice would have been Michael Howard with Soul'd Out Quartet.
- Ben Isaacs (Isaacs) – Bass
Bass playing Ben Isaacs was honored with musician of the year. All five of the nominees were deserving. My choice for 2014 would have been Eli Akin.
Tenor Vocalist
- Chris Allman (Greater Vision)
No arguments here. My readers and I were on the same page.
Lead Vocalist
- Arthur Rice (Kingdom Heirs)
After years of nominations in the major 'fan' voted award shows, readers of Southern Gospel Views from the Back Row finally give Arthur Rice a lead singer of the year honor. Long overdue. As overdue as it was, my choice of 2014 would have been Tim Rackley (Old Paths) by a small margin.
Baritone Vocalist
- Mark Trammell (Mark Trammell Quartet)
Another win that is hard to argue. In this case with a solo album release in 2014 I would have gone with Doug Anderson.
- Jeff Chapman (Kingdom Heirs)
Just like band mate Arthur Rice, Jeff Chapman has never been given the recognition as bass singer. Readers have rectified that in 2014.
Alto Vocalist
- Libbi Stuffle (Perrys)
Libbi Stuffle is always an obvious choice when looking at alto vocalists. Another good year for Libbi on radio with the success of "I Can Trust Him". While Libbi is always deserving I would have leaned slightly to Kelly Nelon Clark in 2014.
Soprano Vocalist
- Amber Thompson (Nelons)
Amber Thompson has continued her winning streaks of late. The readers and I agree on this choice.
- Gerald Wolfe (Greater Vision)
While a little long-winded at times there is no denying Gerald Wolfe will go down as one of Southern Gospel's greatest emcee's of all time. To move from humor, to serious, to read a crowd and change a program accordingly. Only the best can do this with precision.
Fan Event
- National Quartet Convention (Pigeon Forge, TN)
Even with the less than stellar reviews of its first year in Pigeon Forge TN, the National Quartet Convention is still the most popular Southern Gospel fan event. This event dominated its competition in this category.
Voting Rounds – Quartet/Mixed Group
We are close to wrapping up the 1st annual Southern Gospel Views from the Back Row honors. Today you get to vote for best quartet and mixed group of 2014. Quartet has to be at least (4) male vocalists while mixed group of the year has to be at least (4) vocalists. YouTube clips of each nominee is included.

So here is the scoop. If you are looking for a DVD player for your kids to ride around town watching-this could be the wrong choice. If you need one for long trips and don't want to keep changing the DVD...this is your player! 2 problems: the headrest mount makes changing a DVD difficult and the player does not return to the last stopping point if the car is turned off. This is why for short trips it is a pain. However, the fact that it plays an SD card, and I can load 12 movies on one card, is awesome! I loaded a bunch of movies and they just play one after the other so there is no changing DVDs and no carting around a bunch of DVDs that might get lost. I would have given it an excellent rating if it didn't start over everytime I stopped the car...
The video is great. The cable is too short to run down the seat and across the floor. It has to run straight across the open access between the front seats, which I don't like at all. The audio is clear but it isn't loud enough. It is a bit difficult to hear when driving. I do have the sound turned up as high as it will go on both units. I may end up taking these back.
i chose this brand based on others reviews. They are easy to set up and relatively easy to use. The volume is low, but unless you have a lot of road noise, it's manageable. My car continues to feed the power so we do not lose our spot on the DVD after a quick stop. I did have a challenge with the mounting straps, my headrests are an odd shape, but we worked that out.
We have also learned that changing the DVD while the car is in motion is unlikely. Both my girls are still in car seats and cannot reach the unit... And I can't do it while driving... But this is a manageable issue. I love that the unit comes with both a car charger and regular wall charger, increasing the number of uses... We only use this during long trips and otherwise keep it stored in the case. No technical difficulties ,..
I am reviewing this item brand new. At the current time, everything is fine. works as expected and does what it is suppose to do. For me, this is the only style of DVD player that works in my vehicle without doing a $1000 custom job. For that much I can buy these several times till some new technology roles out. My problem, no matter the brand has always been screen 2 going dead. I never had a Sylvania and can't compare apples to apples... but I expect the same thing to happen in a year to year and a half. We don't put these through major usage. Used a few times a month. This is the only product I have found that is a dual 9 inch screen, and not having both monitors with a DVD player. That is an added cost and don't plan on running 2 seperte movies in the van with 5 kids. One is distracting enough as the driver.
My family really enjoys the dual player on long road trips, but it was my 15 year-old daughter that had to unvelcro the straps to change the dvds. I do not believe that a child in a carseat or booster chair could do the same. In the product description, I am pretty sure that the dual player could be viewed individually or together. When I used the player for the the first time, found there is only one player and the other is just a screen for veiwing. There is an USB port for a flash drive. If you planned ahead, you could download music and movies to the flashdrive and not have to change the disk out everytime. I thought that was a very nice feature. The sound was ok. It is best when you use the earphones or connect to the car stereo system through the auxiliary jack (not included, separate purchase). The picture was very good and clear and the 9" screen was perfect. The most missed features for this purchase was that it does not have a last memory playback and that it does not have the option to play it on battery power. When the car is turned off, so is the power and the player. When the car is turned on, the movie/cd will go back to the beginning and you have to skip forward to get back to where you left off. A little annoying.
This product was not very well thought out before distribution. It has no straps for headrest mounting, no resume play if you turn off the vehicle the DVD starts over again. The resolution is so so. A battery should be added in order to insure that the DVD can resume, and pause. If you are going on a long trip with no stops for at least 2 hrs this would be great, other than that, NO.
The picture is great and it was easy to install. The only drawback is that when you turn it off and then back on again it doesn't keep your place in the DVD. It totally starts over, which is a little annoying.
Please don't waste your money or time on purchasing this dvd player. You get a good picture but little to no sound. I am packaging mine up and returning to my local WalMart as soon as possible! What a dissappointment!
We purchased this for our 4 year old and 1 year old. It will work for now, but if you have older children, they have to watch the same movie. The three things I don't like is the remote works within a 30 degree radious of the front of the DVD player. If I am in the car, I can't push play with out stopping the car, getting out and doing it. It would be so much nicer if I could just push the button and go. The second issue is that the cords linking the two of them are way too short. I can't pin them to the floor or the roof of my van so they go accross the middle of the seats, where I will accidently catch it with my purse of my kids tear it out climbing through the middle. Third, the player does not charge, it must be plugged in to work. This isn't my favorite because I would love to just take the DVD player into wherever I am and allow them to watch it sometims! It was a good priced compared to others similar. You get what you pay for!
Its a good deal but they aren't very loud
Great for the long trips as well as the short ones. Audio seemed to be quiet but plug in some headphones and you're good to go.
I dont like the way the wires have to run from one unit to another. The way I have it set up in the car is the main CD player is behind the drivers seat and the 2nd unit is behind the passenger seat. If you only have someone in the passengers back seat, both units have to play. You have to have both units running even if you only have one person in the back seat. There is a terrible noise already coming from the unit that holds the CD and it does not always load. The units can be sat on a table but held up the same way a picture frame is. Falls over very easily and constantly. Going to have to send it back.
We purchased this Sylvania DVD player as a replacement for an Audiovox and Sony that both long outlasted their batteries. Unfortunately, it is cheaper to purchase a new DVD player than replacement batteries. However, we returned it to Wal-Mart within the 15 day cutoff period to return DVD players. Wal-Mart refunded the purchase price plus tax, but would not refund shipping or the 1 year replacement guarantee we purchased. On the positive side, this player did play DVD's. On the negative side, we returned it because the volume had to be kept at the max level just to be able to barely hear it in a quiet vehicle. Also, the screen had to be held at a certain angle to see the picture or it would appear black. Finally, this player does not use batteries and does not have resume play therefore each time the power supply was off the DVD would start over from the beginning. We read in some reviews about the volume issues, but mistakenly assumed that the reviewers were just being to picky. Truthfully, the volume is just not loud enough. Our next player will be either another Audiovox or Sony!
We bought this thinking it would work in the car . No Volume ,had it all the way up and couldnt hear it . Called Tech Support ,What a joke . Sylvania doesnt even have support for this product ,had to call Somewhere in India , Guy Says You take back to store where you bought .
Dont Buy this Junk
This is the first product review I have ever submitted, but I felt a strong need to keep others from suffering the misfortune I have with this!!
I purchased this for my granddaughter in November, to be used daily in the car. Upon hooking up, realized there is no internal battery, so it has to be plugged in to use. So, every time you get in the car, the DVD starts all over, which is a pain. Then, about 3 weeks in, the wires on the car power cord completely came out of the part that plugs in, so I had to go to Radio Shack and pay $20 a new one so it would work. Last and final straw...about a week ago (3 months in), it completely stopped working properly! When you turn it on, it will start to play the beginning credits of the DVD, but quits after about 1 minute! I called the company for help, and that was a complete joke! They asked for purchase date, and when I told them November, the guy told me "Product has only 90 warranty, so you will need to find repair shop or purchase new unit". He would not even transfer me to anyone in tech that might be able to help me see if there was a way to fix it because it had been 93 days since I ordered it (even though, since I had it shipped, I had only had the product in hand for use 86 day total!).
So, I am now shopping for a new, better DVD player for the car. Please do not waste your money on this!!
I usually do not leave reviews on products but could not pass the opportunity to leave a review for this product. I purchased these to go on vacation with me and found that the unit could not hold a charge - brand new out of the box. I had to plug it into the 12V anytime my kids wanted to watch their movies and since there are no plugs on a plane my kids could not watch their movies at all. In addition, the sound did not work unless you moved the cord around. These were very disappointing for the price paid. We will be returning these screens and will not purchase another Sylvania product again.
This was exactly what I needed. What is more important to me is that I was able to find what I needed on the internet, order it and have it just come to my door in a couple days. What is even MORE important is that I found I needed another one in a hurry and I ordered it on-line. I checked the rush box and figured it would do me no good but it came practically the next day. I needed this as part of a bigger project and I was going to miss my deadline. Then it shows up at the door and my day is saved. Thank you.
tHIS IS A GREAT PLAYER, THE GRAND KIDS LOVE IT AND IT IS EASY TO INSTALL NO TROUBLE CHANGING DISKS AND GOOD VOLUME, THE PRICE WAS RIGHT.
This piece of junk broke christmas morning while trying to put the first dvd in it. Took it right back to the store and got my money back.
I bought this for my nieces. But when they went to use it for the first time it did not work. They did not specify about what was wrong. They are going to switch it out so I know they aren't returning it for the money. This was shipped from walmart.com and now I have to give the receipt to my sister so she return this. I do not know if this was a defective product or if it was damaged during shipping. However, the box was not damaged and everything was packaged accordingly according to her. I added the protection plan in just of case. From experience from these portable TVs they only work a few times and than stop working all of a sudden. So for an extra $10 you can get a protection plan, please invest in it, it is worth it!!

Here's the issue. The QuietComfort 3 are the brand new version, they cost more, and they are "smaller and lighter". They offer pretty much the exact same noise cancelling quality, but they fit on top of your ear vs being a larger, bulky around the ear style like the QuietComfort 2.
However, when I tested out the QuietComfort 3 for a month, I found them to be quiet painful. Not in a "pressure on the ear" sense - they were quite comfortable to wear. Rather, when you turned them on, the pressure they exerted on the actual eardrum in order to "cancel noise" hurt. It was a physical sensation, when you turned them on and felt that WHOMP of wave energy pressing against your eardrum. Anybody who thinks the QuietComfort 2 is uncomfortable in that sense hasn't tried the QuietComfort 3 yet.
Yes, I realize that in order to cancel out ambient sound waves, there has to be an opposite sound wave to cancel them out. It's simple physics. However, because the QuietComfort 2 is an around-the-ear design, it doesn't have to blast that cancelling wave right at your eardrum. The larger "air area" being encapsulated by the ear cups gives you more area to work with, and you can block out the sounds without bombarding the ear canal with signals. I did numerous tests with the QuietComfort 2, with my set of iPod playlists that had left-only and right-only sounds, and even during the quiet parts, it was quite comfortable.
Also, as much as people might say that the QuietComfort 2 has "large" ear pods, I really didn't find them bad at all. I was able to sleep with them, wear them without feeling silly at all.Read more ›
- The sound is fabulous, bass reproduction is great.
- Needs one AAA battery, but it goes for between 24 - 30 hrs of use so this is great.
- Noise cancellation works great, great cushioning.
- Pricey
- bulky to transport, cant be substituted for "workout" phones.
- Too much insulation on the earpiece. My ears start to sweat if i wear constantly for more than a couple of hrs.
- Not great to sleep in (on flights) as you tend to block the noise cancellation ports.
That being said, I have listened to a wide variety of headphones, and I own a pair of Sony V600's. The sound quality of the Bose QC2's are on par with the best I have heard. I personally do not get the sensation of "pressure" mentioned by others, however the noise-cancelling feature does produce a sensation that, frankly, you don't get anywhere else. It's not bothersome to me at all, and I don't even notice it after the first minute of listening. As a frame of reference, I work in a noisy manufacturing environment, and I wear foam earplugs in my ears over 8 hours a day, so the QC2's are entirely unobtrusive to me.
As a testament to their noise-cancelling ability, I wear them when I mow my lawn with my cheap (noisy) riding mower, and in that capacity they are nothing short of phenomenal. I plug them into my Muvo MP3 player and turn the volume on the player up to about half to three-quarters, and I don't even notice the mower engine anymore. No other headphones I've tried were able to let me enjoy listening to music while I mowed.
The AAA battery seems to last forever. The construction of the QC2's can best be described as very high quality, but light. The 'phones weigh very little, but I wouldn't want to drop them off of a table for fear of them breaking.Read more ›

Date Published:
June 29, 2010
Hailed as "a sprawling, fierce, vulgar display" (The New Republic) and "exhilarating, skillful, savvy" (The Times Literary Supplement) when it made its first appearance in the mid- 1980s, Money is Martin Amis's hilarious portrait of one man's relentless pursuit of pleasure.
Martin Amis has created a thoroughly unlikable hero, John Self--movie producer, drunk, drugged exploiter of woman--and managed to make him into a sympathetic narrator. In addition to pursuing his vices with enthusiasm, Self spends his time roaming New York in order to find funding and actors for his latest epic and wondering whether his girlfriend back in London is being faithful.

What a China Slowdown Means for the World

- Early Look: China's Economy Likely Slowed a Tad Amid Stronger Headwinds
China's frothy property market seems finally to be taking a leg down, which could be bad news not just for China, but for some of its biggest trading partners.
So who gets hammered if Chinese construction workers stop hammering? And what if the construction slowdown causes a broader economic slump in the world's second-largest economy?
Before we get to that, a gut check is in order. While property sales are off in Chinese cities and some measures show property-price declines, a catastrophic meltdown isn't in the cards yet. Growth in China's gross domestic product this year is still expected to be in the high single digits, property slowdown or not.
"We are not looking for a collapse," says Jonathan Anderson, economist at UBS. "We are looking at three months of sequential rolling off and numbers stabilizing. We are not in the 'run for your life' camp. But the numbers are starting to roll and this is the time you watch."
But if things do turn out badly, as some think they will, who gets hurt outside China?

I had written a preliminary blog post abut Intimate Sea Sponges a really long time ago, but I just never got around to getting some. Then I got hooked on buying the FemmyCycle menstrual cup and these came free! And I tell you ladies, my life has been transformed.
I'm not exaggerating. (Well maybe just a tiny bit.)
But truly, these Intimate Sponges are awesome, and every woman in the world should have some on hand. I've used them for everything in the past few months, so I'm going to break it down for you right here.
Natural Intimacy- Intimate Sea Sponges.
|Note that originally the Intimate Sponges were both the same size, but I cut one down to use on my light days.
(There are many other uses for these sponges as well, so look out for a blog post coming on that soon!)
They come in this funky little hemp bag. And have a thing for cute little bags. Of course I've used the bag to store my sponges, but it has also been used to hold spare earnings when traveling for a few days, and to stash some sunscreen sticks and other randoms things on a trip to the beach.
|Why do I love cute little bags so much??
When I first took the sponge tampons out of the bag they were hard, nothing like a typical dish sponge. So I was kind of confused. There was no way I was going to get this... up there! Only then did I see that you have to wet them and clean them first. As soon as I ran the sponge under warm water it became so soft and pliable. I was amazed by how much water it absorbed. I would hold it under the tap for a good few seconds, watching it expand as it filled. Again, totally different than a dish sponge.
I have a cleaning mix of water, vinegar, lemon, and tea tree oil, and that seemed like the perfect thing to clean my new sponge with. A good disinfecting, antibacterial punch. The package said that there could sometimes be bits of sea debris embedded in the sponge when you get it, but I did not find that in my sponges. But it does not come in sterile packaging and it is going up my whoo-ha... so yeah, they should be cleaned.
|This is how I twisted to insert. It becomes about the width of a tampon, but shorter.
Insertion is really easy. Actually way easier than a menstrual cup that needs to be positioned and open up correctly to catch the blood flow. To insert the sea sponge as a tampon, wet it with warm water, and then twisted it into a narrow cylindrical shape. Then, while sitting on the toilet, I just inserted it. I did not tie a piece of dental floss around it (some women do this to create a tampon like string) because my cervix tends to sit a bit lower and I was not expecting difficulty removing.
The sponges can also be trimmed with a scissor if you find it is too big or you don't have a heavy menstrual flow. That is one of the great things about the Natural Intimacy brand of sea sponge tampons. Other brands tend to come in specific sizes, so you end up paying more for a larger sponge. Intimate Sponges only come in one size, which is quite large, so you can cut them down to the perfect size for you.
I left one of my sponges the full size and the other I cut almost in half to make a smaller sponge for lighter days. The other half of that sponge I am currently using for makeup removal!
|Smaller Intimate Sponge for Light Days
Removal is actually super easy, because once it is saturated with blood it sits lower in the vaginal canal, really right by the entrance to my vagina. Again, two seconds, I reached in and pinched the edge to pull it out.
|Post-period cleanse
Cleaning it is the part that gets a lot of women. Yes, you are pulling a sponge with menstrual blood out of your body and you have to wash it. But ladies, it is no big deal. In fact, it is awesome to actually come in contact with this part of our reality instead of viewing it as gross or "unviewable". When the blood does not come into contact with air the way it does in a pad, and is not exposed to chemicals like when using a tampon, it has no scent. It is just, I don't know how to put this, but fresh and almost earthy (no, I'm not crazy, use one and you'll understand!).
Just running it under the bathroom tap for a few minutes, and then agitating with my fingers, was enough to clean it. I got a little blood on my fingers, but seriously, it is no big deal at all. Then, I squeezed out the extra water and in it went again.
After my period ended, I soaked the sponges for about half an hour in a little bath of tea tree oil, lemon, and water.
So far I've used my sponges at the beach, while doing yoga, and chasing after rambunctious kids. They check off all the important boxes for me: they are environmentally friendly, natural, non toxic, and frugal. Try these Intimate sea sponge tampons. I dare you. And I promise, you are going to love them! And leave comments please to let me know how you get on!

Dashed dreams
The day she graduated from Northeastern University, Liz Erk thought she had it made.
The Boston public relations firm where she interned during her senior year promoted Erk to a full-time employee. It was 1999, the economy was booming, and Erk's higher-ups told her she'd be a vice president in a few years.
But the past five years haven't brought slick suits or a corner office.
By 2001, Erk found herself unemployed and struggling to make her rent, pay her utilities and feed her cats.
"It was a huge confidence breaker," she said. "I was always very successful. … I thought yeah, the economy is bad, but I'm one of the best."
Many members of the class of 1999 found their high hopes for the future similarly dashed. Although they were in demand and getting high salaries upon graduation, when the economy started slumping in mid-2000, they found themselves facing layoffs and pay cuts.
Five years later, many are struggling to move up the corporate ladder or out from under their parents' wings — getting promoted or buying a house is harder than many anticipated.
College graduates were uniquely affected by the dot-com bust and the recession, partly because their expectations were warped by the booming 1990s, according to Jordan Goodman, author of "Everyone's Money Book." Many graduates flocked to the technology sector, which had been paying top dollar for the young and computer-savvy.
"Things were being handed to them right out of college, in a way no generation had ever seen," Goodman said. "They anticipated the boom, which was clearly a bubble, to go on forever."
Many soon found themselves on a downward slide.
Erk avoided a layoff at her PR firm in 2000, but only by leaving to work for a trade show hardware and software provider. After three months, she was laid off there.
She got personal training gigs at fitness clubs around the Boston area, but the cash wasn't enough. She ran up over $20,000 in credit card to debt to pay for groceries and gas. In February 2001, she couldn't afford to heat her home.
"I went from 22 with lofty visions of becoming a VP in a few years to wearing shorts to work every day … and huddling under a blanket with my cats for warmth," Erk said. "Some VP."
Nathan Kelley, who graduated DePaul University in 1999, went to graduate school for a year. He then saw money being made in high-tech and joined a software startup in Chicago. When the company was bought by Accutel Inc. after six months, Kelley and five friends started up another software company — just as the tech bubble was bursting. His company soon shut down.
"At that point, the bottomless pit of money had dried up," Kelley said. "When we went back to the well, it was dry."
Kelley had no income, no health insurance and no way to pay living expenses — it was time to move in with his grandmother in Cleveland.
For a humbling six months, Kelley searched for a job in consulting. When he finally found one and moved out, he cut corners wherever possible.
"On any day, I could tell you the beer specials anywhere in the city," Kelley joked, adding, "I became a nicer person — that sense of invincibility disappeared."
To survive the workplace now, many young people have had to start over on the bottom rung — not exactly the position many expected to be in five years after graduation.
According to Alexandra Levit, a Northwestern University graduate who recently wrote the book "They Don't Teach Corporate in College," her age group has aspirations that are "way out of whack with reality."
"They're very innovative, very entrepreneurial. … There's a bit of a clash with managers, who are much more bureaucratic," she said.
Kelley admitted that the last few years have been sobering. He now works at the Hospital Association in Cleveland, and is planning to make a down payment on a house soon.
"It'd be nice to be sitting on a pile of cash right now," Kelley said. "But that'll happen eventually."
Michael McCullough, a 1999 graduate of Appalachian State University, is also in the process of buying a house, but only after living with his parents for the past five years to survive pay cuts. It's a strategy Goodman said is common among today's young people.
"There was no money to support living on my own," McCullough said. "I lived meagerly — didn't take on anything, didn't have credit cards."
Home ownership remains out the question for many twentysomethings, though, especially those that live in big cities. Goodman noted that while mortgage rates are on the decline, down payments are often unmanageable for young people who haven't been working long enough to save.
Those issues have forced many to grow up fast.
Erk now works at Pan Communications, a public relations firm in Boston. She recently started a 401(k), but she estimates it will take about four more years to pay off her debt. She's learned to keep a tight budget.
"I'm like a 40-year-old trapped in a 27-year-old's body."

text: U.S. Steel Another ascending triangle pattern is shaping up in shares of U.S. Steel ( X). Typically, ascending triangles are thought of as bullish continuation patterns -- they come into play after an up move has already occurred, like the setup in Merck. But in the case of U.S. Steel, shares are actually making an ascending triangle bottom. So is that a cause for concern? Nope. As a trader, it's important not to get hamstrung by the "textbook" definition of a setup; instead, the crucial element of the X trade is the glut of supply of shares at $32.50 and the indication of buying pressure from uptrending support. Those two technical levels are ultimately what cause the price action we're looking for in shares. >>5 Breakout Trades From the Eurozone U.S. Steel does give us some extra hints, though. A big one is momentum, measured in this case by 14-day RSI. Momentum is a leading indicator of price -- so the short-term uptrend in RSI confirms the bullish bent in X. Even so, wait for that $32.50 breakout before becoming a buyer. Prev 2 of 6 Next
