Home Cinema 6500UB Projector Highlights
- Best black level performance of the lower cost (under $3000 selling price) 1080p projectors
- Very sharp image
- Very good, but not exceptional at revealing dark shadow details
- Creative frame interpolation for reducing motion blur, with 120 frames per second maximum frame rate, but some definite issues with many modes
- Very good post calibration color accuracy
- Excellent placement flexibility
- Above average brightness in best mode for movie watching (and brightest of the 3LCD home theater projectors)
- Extremely bright in brightest mode, with reasonably good image quality, only a few projectors are brighter, and they cost a lot more
- Very good warranty – two years, with an overnight replacement program
- Full support for HDMI 1.3b with 24 fps, Deep Color…
- Good, not great, "out of the box" color accuracy – better than average

- Great Price/Performance, even if you decide that the frame interpolation is not typically usable
Epson Home Cinema 6500UB Projector Overview
Last year we awarded the older Epson Home Cinema 1080 UB, our Hot Product award, and more importantly, our Best In Class award for under $4000 1080p projectors. It should come as no surprise that this new top of the Home Cinema line projector, the Home Cinema 6500UB, an even better projector, would also earn our Hot Product Award.
The Home Cinema 6500UB projector is one of two "flagship" models from Epson. The other is the Pro Cinema 7500UB. They are basically identical except for five things: The 6500UB lacks internal support for an anamorphic lens (you would need an outboard video processor like the DVDO Edge), The 7500UB has internal anamorphic lens support, it has a black casing, instead of the 6500UB's white case. The 7500UB also is ISF Certified (the addition of ISF Day and ISF Night memory modes, and different names for some of the preset modes). Finally, the Pro version comes with a three year warranty instead of two. There is also a difference in terms of where you can buy these projectors: The Home Cinema 6500UB is sold online, and through local dealers while the Pro Cinema 7500UB is local dealer only.
Finally, there is a price difference. The Home Cinema 6500UB is $2999 initially, less a $200 rebate. the Pro Cinema 7500UB is $3999 but comes with a ceiling mount and a spare lamp, which definitely reduces the upfront difference in price, but still ends up more expensive than the 6500UB.

"Hey, don't overlook this recipe! I found this on Thanksgiving morning for something that had ingredients I already had on hand and I picked this one and made it for the first time.It was a hit at dinner and I shared some with coworkers the next day and they wanted the recipe. They loved it. I will make this one many times over as it's very tasty and quick and easy to make. It doesn't sound all that yummy when you read the ingredients, but trust me, it has a very good flavor and is reasonable in the calorie department. I just used frozen green beans and cooked the beans with celery in the microwave. Forget the stove top. Use your microwaves, Ladies."

If you are using LiveCycle to process PDF documents you may encounter problems displaying/converting forms or PDF documents, accompanied by exceptions similar to the following in the server log:
ProcessResour W com.adobe.service.ProcessResource doProcessExitCleanup BMC024: Service XMLFormService: Process ProcessResource@f1f45(name=XMLForm.exe,pid=0) terminated abnormally with error code {3}
XMLFormAgentW E com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.logging.FormsLogger logMessage ALC-OUT-002-004: Unable to find service: XMLFormService, error: Connection to failed service.
The error message "XMLForm terminated abnormally with error code {3}" can occur in various situations, and the relevant solutions are described below.
1. The LiveCycle font directory is not valid
In this situation you should see a warning or error in the server log during startup similar to the following:
FontManager E com.adobe.fontmanager.FontManager loadFromFontDirectories ALC-FMR-001-009:FontManager: Null/Non-existent font directory : /opt/server /resources/fonts
When configuring LiveCycle you can enter a directory where fonts are stored and can be used by LiveCycle. If this directory is not valid when calling XMLForm it can result in the error code {3}.
You can modify the location of the font directories in the administration console under Settings > Core System Settings > Configurations. You will need to restart the application server after modifying these settings.
Further details here:
2. The LiveCycle root directory contains "null" in the path
This can occur particularly on Weblogic installations. You should explicitly set the path using -Dadobeidp.RootDirectory=<path> in the server startup script.
Further details available here:
3. Solaris 10 Update 10 has been applied
If you have recently applied Solaris 10 Update 10 XMLForm may start failing with error code {3}. There is a compatibility issue between the compiler settings that Adobe uses to compile the XMLFormService and some additions that Oracle have made to Solaris to support GNU extensions to their ELF symbol versioning. What this means is that Solaris no longer recognizes XMLFormService as a valid executable and will not run it.
The best solution here is to update Solaris to a more recent version that contains the fix. Details on exact versions can be attained from Oracle.
A workaround is to disable the run-time linker check by removing the DT_VERSYM entry from the objects dynamic section in libstdc++.so.6.
To apply the workaround you should run the following command on the libstdc++.so.6 file found in ServicesNatives2/lib directory:
% elfedit -e
'dyn:delete versym'
The workaround should only be applied by a sysadmin in critical situations, as it is a system change that may cause other side-effects. You should make a backup of the original file before making that change. Further details here: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2294952
You can find further details here:
4. WebSphere global security is turned on
In this situation you will most likely see the following exception also in the server log:
CSIServerRIBa W JSAS0638E: [com.ibm.org.omg.CORBA._ObjectStub.signalStringValue] Client authentication required at the server but no principal information is present in the <server>:<port> method request from client {2}.
We have seen this issue occur when strict global security was turned on in WebSphere and the clientcertificateauthentication for the csiv2inbound property in the WebSphere configuration was set to "Required" instead of "Supported", and when the transport was set to "SSLRequired" instead of "SSLSupported". Change these to "Supported", as shown below, to resolve this issue.
<csiv2inbound basicauthentication="Supported" clientcertificateauthentication="Supported" identityassertion="false" stateful="true" transport="SSLSupported" sslconfigalias=""/>
<csiv2outbound basicauthentication="Supported" clientcertificateauthentication="Supported" identityassertion="false" stateful="true" sessiongcinterval="300000″ sessiongcidletime="900000″ transport="SSLSupported" sslconfigalias=""/>
Further details here:
5. SELinux security is in "enforcing" mode
If LiveCycle is running on a server where NSA Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is in enforcing mode, XMLForm will terminate with error code {3}.
To correct this problem, change SELinux security to permissive mode.
6. Other native library problems
To investigate native library problems you should enable debugging on the XMLForm process as follows:
- On Unix/Linux deployments locate <XMLFormService/bin>/XMLForm.exe shell script and edit using a text editor.
- Navigate to end of the file and you should see an "exec" line.
- Modify "exec" line to include Corba debug parameters and add ldd/env commands before "exec" line as shown below.
ldd $myPath/bin/XMLForm > /tmp/XMLForm.ldd_dump.txt env > /tmp/XMLForm.env_dump.txt exec $myPath/bin/XMLForm $* ORBtraceLevel 40 -ORBtraceThreadId 1
- After that either restart your app server or kill XMLForms process instance(s) if running.
- Render a form using FormsService or OutputService and new instance of XMLForms process should get launched.
- Analyze the ldd_dump.txt, env_dump.txt, StdOut and StdErr logs looking for errors related to loading native shared libraries and/or Corba debug messages.
You can find further details on debugging in XMLForm here:

LORD de Mauley, minister for Natural Environment and Science was greeted by Exmoor Horn Sheep and Exmoor Ponies at the launch of the Exmoor Hill Farming Network.
During his visit to Exmoor National Park, the minister joined upland farmers and heard about the Network's plans to support farming families and farm businesses.
The event was hosted by Oliver and Jill Edwards at Westermill Farm, who led two farm tours during the afternoon to explain their approach to livestock, forestry and land management.
Helen Aldis, newly appointed manager of the Prince's Countryside Fund who are funding the Network, also attended the launch.
"The launch was an opportunity for farming families to discuss what they want from the Network, to find out what we are doing and to spend time together celebrating changes and opportunities for Exmoor farming," said Network chairman Dave Knight.
"As an independent farmer led network, we want to increase farming incomes by supporting the next generation and improving livestock and land management."
Network officer Katherine Williams added: "The Network is an information and coordination service to ensure Exmoor's upland farmers get access to the training, knowledge and new opportunities available from national schemes.
"Over the spring we have organised sprayer operative courses, information events on the new sheep movement requirements, farm visits and talks targeting particular issues and groups across Exmoor.
"It's free to join the Network, so get in touch and let us know what you want, and we will organise it."

I'll be glad when bots are gone, finally the game can return to something decent. And if you want to grind you can just use RiD like the cool kids (me).
Especially the RID users are fucked
[citation needed]
holy fuck 9 zeal a win
prayer experience here we come baby
oh also bot nuking is nice i guess, probably wont work permanently though
edit: calculated it, with the bonus intact a single sw win is worth 10,125 experience at lv50. frost dragon bones on gilded altar give 945, meaning the playtime of one game (20 mins) basically saves you a little over 11k at current prices.
at the same time playing 12 games (4 hours) and winning each time (unlikely) is enough to get you to 100 zeal, worth 123,750 prayer experience at lv50, equal to 130 frost dragon bones, or 1.5 million gp. and all this is possible without lifting a finger if you're on the right team.
fuck yes
If I get banned, I get banned. Big deal, I'll just not bot anymore! Oh no! Jagex is losing out on an extra £3.50 for a repetitive grinding game with few fun features. Ah man, it's gonna suck for them ohh so bad.
And to those that are still accusing me of being some lazy ass botter that's never played RuneScape legit.
Like I've said before, get 70m Legit xp and 60m legit cash, then complain at me for botting. Sure, I've done pretty little compared to other people, but you fuckers raging at us botters still only need like 2k experience for each level. Have fun with your grinding, kids.
I was checking on my bot and... what the fuck?
looking at my previous offences. I was such a badass 13 year old.
"qui gon888 is a smelly 13astard"
"i like peenus"
"heil [-]itler"
"rub my peenor please"
I really was a genius. Got muted for all these.
Botting banning? I JUST fucking bought a membership
Sorely disappointed in the lack of uncensored mermaid tits in Deadliest Catch.
Time to count how many bots there are at tzharr
there's like 50
Wait a few days, count them again. If it's still 50, I'd be not surprised, but disappointed.
I feel like I'm the only person in this game that doesnt have the patience to get 13m xp in 20+ skills. And to make it worse, most skills are just, bank, withdraw, combine, deposit - repeat. It's so fucking boring, wouldn't be so bad if 1-99 scaled between 5m xp or so.
I'm now also pissed off cause I'm probably gonna get banned if they have bots already logged. I never boted to make money, just to level those boring repeat this shit 200 000 times skills. I bet they are gonna lose a shitload of money banning p2p bots.
I'd love to see Ploo's reaction to this "bot nuke".
RotM finished. One last quest to do, Nomad's Requiem. 10 year old me would be so proud.
Still looking for silver ore. Doing some English coursework at the moment (), so am unable to mine any. Will be back asap though.
That's not tobacco in that pipe
If you are anywhere else then Amsterdam you call it Tabacco.
If anyone has any of the discontinued wallpapers could you post them? Highest res possible if you can. Also any Christmas cards or the Christmas wallpapers.
You know Jagex removed a huge amount of the players gallery art a couple years ago, for no reason. Feel sad for the people who got pulled.
Started my Chaotic Pure yesterday. So far 4 combat, 2m bank and working on skills for quests. Made a progress video.
Seeing as I can't bot for a while, I'm going to make loads of money from the Blast Furnace. Good way to spend my weekend.
Anyone got a Whip I can buy?
''your a total 13itch''
''go fack yourself''
''over your grandmom''
''g @ y''
I feel shameful.

Why I Read It: Read along hosted by Once Upon A Time
Where I Got It: Own it.
Who I Recommend This To: Those into epic fantasy.
Publisher: Tor Fantasy (2010)
Length: 688 pages
This book was a play on plot twists. Brandon Sanderson has entertained me quite well once again. Siri and Vivenna are sisters, Princesses of Idris, a high mountain, sober town. Vivenna has known all her life that she was betrothed to the God King of Hallandren, a bustling city steeped in color and vice. However, the King of Idris cannot bear to send his eldest, and favorite, daughter. Siri is sent in her staid, much to the shock of all, including the untrained and ill-mannered Siri.
Vasher and his thought-projecting sentient sword Nightblood have a quest of their own, which no one is quite sure about for a good chunk of the book. (I loved guessing on his intentions). Denth and Tonk Fah are dark-humored mercenaries who meet Vivenna shortly after she makes her secret way to Hallandren to rescue her sister. Siri, in the mean time, has been learning to enjoy succulent fish dishes and wear fancy, flashy, sexy gowns. She befriends one of the pantheon of the Court, Lightsong. He has some of the best lines of the book, constantly irritating and making the other gods and royalty laugh. A good chunk of the pantheon and their priests are for war with Idris, which is seen as a rogue city defying the rightful rule of The God King. Oh, and they have some very lucrative mountain passes used for trading with other nations. Just in case you need a monetary reason to go to war.
In this tale, BioChroma plays a large role. The more Breaths a person has, the more objects a person can animate and command. This includes dead bodies, and hence Hallandren has an army of Lifeless – soldiers who do not need sleep, rest, food, or water. They feel no pain. Shudder. Yeah, Idris is in trouble. While Siri and Vivenna work in their separate ways to head off this war, Lightsong begins snooping around after a mysterious death of servant occurs at Mercystar's palace. Vasher and Denth continue to circle each other, alternately aggravating and avoiding one another.
What I Liked: The BioChroma rules for this world; the dark humor of Denth and Tonk Fah; the God King's secret; Lightsong's banter with the curvaceous Blushweaver; Nightblood has some of the best lines; the lifeless squirrel!
What I Disliked: The first time reading it, it took me some time to grasp the rules of BioChroma.

Saint Elizabeth Recognized for Commitment to Quality Care for Stroke PatientsNovember 30 2012
Lincoln, Neb. - Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center has received the highest level of recognition from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. They were awarded the Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award, and they are the only hospital in the state to be recognized as a recipient of the association's Target: Stroke Honor Roll.
Stroke is the fourth highest cause of death in the United States. The American Stroke Association estimates that nearly 800,000 people will suffer a new or recurrent stroke this year. Both awards demonstrate the ability of the Saint Elizabeth team to be ready at any time to treat stroke patients as quickly as possible.
"With a stroke, every minute counts. I am proud of our team for achieving this honor. The Stroke Gold Plus award is a true testament to our commitment to being one of the top hospitals in the country for providing aggressive, proven stroke care," says Libby Raetz, Vice President, Nursing and Chief Nursing Officer of Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center.
To receive the Stroke Gold Plus award, Saint Elizabeth achieved 85 percent or higher adherence to all Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Quality Achievement indicators for 2 or more consecutive 12-month intervals. Saint Elizabeth also achieved 75 percent or higher compliance with 6 of 10 Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Quality Measures, which are reporting initiatives to measure quality of care. These measures include use of medications to reduce death and disability and improve the lives of stroke patients.
The prestigious Target: Stroke Honor Roll award demonstrates the ability of the Saint Elizabeth team to provide stroke patients with tPA within 60 minutes of arriving at the hospital. tPA is a drug which has been proven to significantly reverse the effects of a stroke and reduce permanent disability. Over the past quarter, at least 50 percent of Saint Elizabeth eligible ischemic stroke patients received tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA, within 60 minutes of arriving at the hospital (known as 'door-to-needle' time).
"Saint Elizabeth has worked extremely hard to decrease the amount of time that it takes for eligible stroke patients to receive tPA. It is truly a team effort," shares Beth Malina, Stroke Program Coordinator. "Receiving this award is very gratifying. We are improving outcomes for stroke patients and making a difference in their lives."

Changes could help Fla. improve rural health care
Published: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 5:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 5:06 p.m.
McClusky, North Dakota: population 380. "We count all the dogs and cats," said Sarah Baker, the only health care professional for miles around.
Baker is the lone nurse practitioner at the Northland Community Health Center, and she makes the daily hour-long drive back and forth between her home in Bismarck and McClusky so the residents of McClusky don't have to make that journey every time they need medical care.
"We have 96-year-olds who are still living on their farms, and they can't drive their cars to Bismarck in the winter," Baker said. She added, "They've had two or three different practitioners that come and go. I've been here five years, and it's really made a difference in the trust level in the community."
Baker is a member of the National Health Service Program, which offers support to health care professionals in remote or underserved communities. The NHSP's Loan Repayment Program that Baker is part of helps pay off students' loans if they work in these communities. Programs like this are filling in the hole of health care in many remote areas throughout the country.
Baker's salary is not great, she said. "I don't think there's a physician in North Dakota who would work in my practice for what I make. But it's the best job I've ever had."
And, she's flying solo. North Dakota nurse practitioners two years ago successfully pushed to appeal a law requiring the presence of a collaborating physician in a licensed health care clinic.
That opened the door to health care services in areas where people might otherwise slip through the cracks, she said.
In Florida, the regulations are more stringent. According to the Florida Association of Nurse Practitioners' website, Florida requires nurse practitioners to follow strict supervisory protocols. It is also one of only two states that restricts their ability to obtain a drug enforcement administration license to prescribe certain drugs.
Many experts believe lifting some of the restrictions would help amend a shortage of health care in rural areas — and as a result help detect cancer earlier.
"If we had PAs (physicians' assistants) and nurse practitioners doing some of these standard exams earlier, we might detect these cancers earlier," said Dr. Henrietta Logan, a professor at the UF dental school and the director of the Southeast Center for Research to Reduce Disparities.
Baker said that although she can't actually perform cancer screening tests such as colonoscopies, she can get the ball rolling for people to have necessary screenings in Bismarck.
She recalls one person who had a colonoscopy on her suggestion and it revealed cancer.
"In a little town, one person has a positive result like that, and the whole town gets tested," she said, adding that she sees a big part of her role in primary care as promoting preventive medicine.
Plus, being in such a small community gives Baker the bonus of getting to know her patients really well so she can personalize their care.
"The best part about the practice that I have is that if you need to stay 45 minutes, you get 45 minutes. It's not in and out in 10 minutes. That's when you miss the cues," she said.

Akpama-Oyedele to Join Big South Hall of Fame's Class of 2013
Former Liberty volleyball standout Anthonia Akpama-Oyedele has been selected for induction in the Big South Hall of Fame, with enshrinement ceremonies to take place in May.
Akpama-Oyedele will be one of three inductees in the Big South Hall of Fame's Class of 2013. She will be joined by Dr. Anthony J. DiGiorgio (Winthrop president: 1989-2013; Big South Conference president: 1992-98, 2006-09) and former Radford men's soccer star Ian Spooner (1991-95).
Following Akpama-Oyedele's induction, Liberty Athletics will have a total of five representatives in the Big South Hall of Fame. Akpama-Oyedele joins former standout student-athletes Ryan Werner (track & field/1992-96/Class of 2007), Peter Aluma (men's basketball/1994-97/Class of 2008) and Elena Kisseleva (women's basketball/1996-2000/Class of 2011), along with long-time broadcaster Jerry Edwards (1981-2010/Class of 2012) as Liberty Athletics honorees in the Big South's Hall of Fame.
A native of Lagos, Nigeria, Akpama-Oyedele was a dominant force as a middle hitter from 1996-1999, becoming the first Lady Flame, and first player in Big South history, to surpass 2,000 career kills. She played a major role in Liberty's first two Big South Volleyball Championship teams, in 1997 and 1999, as the team appeared in the NCAA Volleyball Championship both seasons. The Lady Flames won 20 or more matches all four years that Akpama-Oyedele played.
The middle blocker was named to the Big South All-Conference first team during each of her four seasons, the only player in program history to hold that distinction. By the time she graduated, Akpama-Oyedele was one of only two players in Big South volleyball history to win Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Tournament MVP during a four-year career. She was named to the AVCA All-District team and CoSIDA Academic All-District squad in 1999. Her honors were capped in 1999 when she was named the inaugural Big South Female Athlete of the Year.
Akpama-Oyedele held the Big South record for career kills (2,024) at the time of her graduation. She is currently second in conference history in career kills, while remaining the program record holder. Her 452 blocks place her third in program history, tying for eighth in the Big South at present. She became Liberty's fourth member of the 1,000-1,000 club, and ranks eighth all-time at Liberty with 1,312 career digs.
As a senior, Akpama-Oyedele set a Big South record with 5.78 kills per game, a mark that placed her second among all NCAA Division I volleyball players in 1999. Her 671 kills during the 1999 campaign remain the fourth most in a single season in conference history. On Nov. 10, 2000, she had her jersey, number 3, retired, joining Theresa Bream as the only two Liberty volleyball players with a retired jersey.

Following in the footsteps of Stephen Seckler
(or, standing on the shoulders of giants -- as the
case is, here) is a good path to walk. Since, last week, in this
space, Steve
offered a 13-point marketing checklist for the New Year,
I will offer 13 more general tips for improving your practice in
the New Year -- with neither of these offerings being the Fourteen Points, as we're a year away from
that, still:
If you've checked all of these marks already, then you're on
your own for New Year's resolutions this season.
Give up Twinkies? Well, maybe that won't be a problem after all . . .

ALBANY, Ga. –Saint Leo (10-2) finished the four-game road trip with a 5-3 win at Albany State (1-9) on Monday evening. Matt Hewitt tossed six innings in relief to lead the Lions to their ninth consecutive win.
Ryan Brnovich led the Lions offensively with three hits and a run to go along with his three stolen bases. Chris Newcomb and Frank Rawdow both tallied two hits on the evening while Rawdow also contributed two RBI.
Albany State scored a run in the bottom of the first to take a 1-0 lead but the Lions responded in the next half inning with two runs. Brnovich doubled down the left field line to lead off the inning and he, along with Taylor Perez, was brought home on a double from Rawdow.
Lions' starter Tyrone Miller got in some trouble in Albany State's bottom half of the third and the Rams scored two runs to tie the game at three.
In the bottom of the fifth Newcomb got the inning going on a frozen rope to the third baseman. Newcomb stole second and was advanced to third on a fly ball from Michael Revell. The next pitch, with Brnovich at the plate, Newcomb took off for home and slid in safely before the pitch reached home plate to put the game back in the Lions favor.
Hewitt relieved Miller in the bottom of the fourth and proceeded to shut down Albany State for the next six innings. Hewitt did not allow a run for the duration of the game and allowed just three hits while striking out seven.
Hewitt improved his record to 2-0 with the win and Albany State's Anthony Hart moves to 0-2 while going the whole nine innings for the Rams.
The Lions get back in action next Tuesday when they travel to Melbourne, Fla. to take on the Florida Tech Panthers.

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) -- Members of Hamilton police Chief Neil Ferdelman's family have held public safety jobs serving their southwestern Ohio city for 87 years straight, but that run will end with his retirement next month.
The JournalNews (http://bit.ly/yZ1joK ) of Hamilton reports Ferdelman's grandfather was a firefighter from 1925 to 1958. His father served as a police officer from 1942 until 1976.
Ferdelman initially planned to become a lawyer but took an interest in police work and has been a member of the force for 36 years, spending about one-third of that time as chief. He plans to retire March 2 from his job in Hamilton, about 20 miles north of Cincinnati.

My aunt Helen, 80, is one of my oldest living relatives and the one I turn to for questions about family members only she can remember. Because she lives in Kansas and I'm in California, our family history is exchanged via frequent phone calls and letters. She's great at sending me copies of old photos, and I call with new discoveries.
What I like best about Helen is her ability to fill in the details that bring family members to life. I love hearing about the hollyhocks that lined the back pathway of my great-grandmother's house, and how my great-grandfather told stories from his childhood about Indian raids and a prairie fire. She can untangle convoluted family lines and help sort through my hunches. Although she is not comfortable around people she doesn't know, she traveled to a small Kansas town and spent part of the day with strangers, just to help find out more about our ancestors.
Whenever I get off the phone with her, I turn on my computer and make notes in my genealogy software about the stories she told. I know in another year I'll remember them less correctly and they are stories that need to be remembered.
Are you taking advantage of the wonderful stories your relatives tell? And if so, are you keeping good enough notes so the stories won't be forgotten?

WINTER PARK, Fla. (February 23, 2012) - No. 16 Rollins used a total of eight extra base hits to sweep the Thorobrettes of Kentucky State University Thursday evening, 10-0 and 9-0 respectively.
In game one, the Tars cracked the scoreboard first in the bottom of the second inning on a RBI single through the left side of the infield by sophomore Hilary Brown that scored Meredith Foster. Foster had led off the inning with a double to the base of the wall in right center field.
Rollins then opened the flood gates in the third, first on a bases loaded walk to shortstop Shelby Walters that forced home Monica Meadows. Brown then followed the walk with a moon shot to left field that grazed the top of the fence and fell over for a grand slam, increasing the Tars' lead to 6-0.
After back to back scoreless innings from both teams, Rollins came to bat in the bottom of the sixth. Catcher Veronica Alred led off the inning with a fly out to left then Meadows followed with a single to left field. Pitcher Hope Bitzer then walked, advancing Meadows to second with one out. After Foster lined out for out number two, senior Lawna Hunter singled up the middle, plating Meadows to extend the lead to 7-0.
That brought up Walters with runners on first and second with two outs. The freshman shortstop sent the first pitch she saw from Kentucky State pitcher Stephanie Hamilton off of the scoreboard over the fence in left center field, scoring Bitzer and Hunter to end game one in a run rule, 10-0.
Bitzer (4-2) got the win for Tars going six innings giving up just one hit while striking out 13. Danielle Garay (0-1) took the loss for the Thorobretts in a little over two innings of work giving up six runs, just one earned, on six hits. Brown had two hits with five RBI.
Wasting no time, Rollins picked up right where they left off in game two. Highlighted by a two run single up the middle by Foster, the Tars scored five runs in the bottom of the first on three hits and three errors by the Kentucky State defense.
The Tars added another run in the in the fourth on a RBI triple by Alred that scored speedy leadoff batter Aimee Halpin after Halpin led off the inning with a double over center fielder Brittney Flores' head, making the score 6-0 heading into the fifth.
After pitcher Amye McIntyre worked a scoreless top of the inning, Hunter led off Rollins' half of the inning with a double that landed just fair inside the left field line. Walters was then retired on a ground out to short that brought up Brown with Hunter now on third after she previously advanced on a wild pitch.
Brown then reached on a perfectly executed squeeze bunt, scoring Hunter, pushing the lead to 7-0.
Junior Hannah Lovestrand followed with a single putting runners on first and second bringing up Halpin with one out. Halpin then roped her second double of the game to the wall in center field, scoring Brown and Lovestrand to end the game in a run rule, 9-0.
Freshman Taylor McGowan (3-0) earned the win for Rollins, working four innings giving up no runs on four hits. Lorena Villamar received the loss pitching a little over four innings giving up nine runs, six earned, on nine hits. Alred had three hits with two RBI.
Rollins will be back in action this Sunday, Feb. 23 when they host Kentucky State in a rescheduled double header that was postponed Wednesday evening. First pitch is scheduled for 9 a.m. Fans can follow along with all the action on the Tars Sports Network at RollinsSports.com.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The seventh-ranked Saint Leo women's tennis team repeated a feat that had never been done before this season as the No. 2 seeded Lions defeated No. 3 seed Lynn University 5-3 in the semifinal round of the Sunshine State Conference Championships from South County Regional Park on Friday afternoon. The Lions (17-4) move to the SSC Championship match where they will square off with No. 1 seed Barry for the conference title.
In a repeat of Thursday's quarterfinal round victory, the Lions took a 2-1 lead out of doubles play behind wins from the Emily Singleton/Laura Kemkes duo at No. 2 and Coralie Pesenti/Adrianna Daszkiewicz at No. 3. Only the third-ranked tandem from Lynn (15-4) sent the Fighting Knights into singles play with a point under their belts.
With each of the six singles flights being hotly contested, wins by Daszkiewicz, Singleton and Maria Benkirane in their respective individual play gave the Lions the necessary five points for the match win and a shot at the Buccaneers in the title game.
With the thrilling victory over Lynn for only the second time in program history, the Lions will advance for a rematch with No. 1 seed Barry University on Saturday morning. The two teams met earlier in the season at the Buccaneer Tennis Center in Miami Shores with the Bucs pulling off the sweep. The match is scheduled to get underway at 9 a.m.

(I did do a search using keywords "firefox font" in this forum ... no relevant hits)
The last change to my application was mid-last year. Last week the font changed when displayed in firefox (explorer, opera, chrome still ok).
Specifying font size to 16px for the site has no impact. I have run both the php and the css through the w3c validator. Both test as valid.
Any thoughts?
Can you please post a link to the site?
If nothing has happened to the content since last year and the browser is the same most likely you have altered the browser preferences, for example zoomed the page or altered the advanced Fonts settings.
Considering the sensitivity of the data on this site, I hesitate even though it is password protected.
But see attachment of the same site in Firefox (where I have a problem) and Windows 8 below it
I have to agree with Robert on this one. It sounds like a local browser issue rather than a web site/server issue. The screen shots appear to show the same font with different sizes.
Is the text-only zoomed (magnified) in Firefox? If so, View > Zoom > Reset should restore your browser defaults.
In Firefox, you can set your browser's default font and font-size here: Tools > Options > Content
That did it. Thanks
No problem.

- News From the Field
- Three Teens Sue BackPage.com Over Sex Trafficking
Three Teens Sue BackPage.com Over Sex Trafficking
By Kevin Dolak
Three Washington teenagers have filed a personal injury lawsuit against the classified ad website Backpage.com, alleging that the site allowed them to be forced into prostitution for the company's own financial gain.
The three unnamed girls, now aged 15 through 17, filed the suit in Pierce County Superior Court in Tacoma, Washington. In the suit they allege that through the adult listings in Backpage.com the company allowed them to be raped -- and that it profited as a result, making millions of dollars each month.
"Our kids were hurt by Backpage, so we're going after Backpage," Erik L. Bauer, an attorney representing the three girls, told ABC News.
Images of the underage girls were posted to Backpage.com, which is owned by Village Voice Media, beginning in 2010. The site is a frequent online destination for escort services. The ads were posted by three men who pimped the girls out and kept all of the profits for themselves, the lawsuit claims.
The complaint states that BackPage.com did nothing to prevent these men from exploiting the underage girls, and claims that the site "knowingly developed a nationwide online marketplace for illicit commercial sex" and "developed a reputation for itself as a website where pimps and prostitutes advertise commercial sex."
The suit says there is little to prevent anyone from posting ads offering prostitution on Backpage.com, other than a "posting rules" screen that asks users to certify, "I will not post any solicitation directly or in 'coded' fashion for any illegal service, including exchanging sexual favors for money or other valuable consideration." The site also asks users to verify they are 18 years old, and says that posting by a minor will be subject to criminal prosecution.
In Tacoma, the site charges $10 per ad for a posting to escort services, and allows eight pictures to be included. The site also offers a feature to repost escort ads automatically, for an additional fee.
The lawsuit against Backpage.com says the site's rules are hardly a deterrent to those promoting prostitution. The pimp who took advantage of the three girls, the suit says, was legally an adult. The three girls are identified in the complaint only as S.L, L.C. and J.S.

Lewis later volunteered to lead an expedition across the newly acquired Louisiana Territory, which he did together with William Clark from 1804 to 1806, traveling to the Pacific Ocean and back and collecting information on the geography, flora, fauna, and Native American tribes of the region. After their return, Lewis was appointed governor of the Upper Louisiana Territory, a position he struggled with. Afflicted with depression and alcoholism, Lewis was traveling to Washington DC when he died from gunshot wounds in Tennessee. It is still unknown whether it was suicide or murder.

TBI and Epilepsy
Studies show that 19.5% of U.S. military personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have reported possible Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). TBI has now been identified as a "signature injury of the global war on terror". The long-term effects of head injuries create a heightened risk of post-traumatic conditions, including epilepsy. The incidence of Post Traumatic Epilepsy in active duty soldiers diagnosed with TBI is as high as 53%. This awareness campaign is a systematic approach to advocating, and educating Veterans and their families, healthcare providers, and veteran serving agencies about the correlations between TBI & Epilepsy.

If you like a film, chances are you might get the DVD. If you love a film, you may end up getting the Blu-ray, the special collector's edition, the director's cut, the collectible bust and even the ultimate-limited-exclusive-super-duper-briefcase packaging that requires batteries for all the lights and sound effects. The following box sets are the silliest – and sometimes, most impressive – versions of the latter, boasting everything from jewellery boxes to apes' upper torsos. But be warned: some of these babies are expensive, so read on at your peril.
Update: Now updated with 10 more overelaborate more box sets. Be sure to hide all your credit and debit cards before looking through these - you'll be grateful you did, trust us...
Approximately 11 inches wide and 12 inches high at the Astronomy tower, this 16 pound (7.25kg) cold-cast porcelain replica of Hogwarts is a thing of crenellated beauty. Originally unveiled after The Half-Blood Prince (the sixth film) was released on Blu-ray back in 2009, Warner Bros. merchandising HQ were sensible enough to leave space in the drawer beneath the figurine (where the Blu-rays are stored) for both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, thereby preventing riots of Battle Of Hogwarts-sized proportions from those who had bought it with two films still to come. And this way you have a convenient reference guide for all the school-based shenanigans of the series, so you can match the action on screen to the scale model handily perched in front of you.

Perhaps the best loved conceptual designer and illustrator Hollywood has ever known, Ralph McQuarrie is the man behind many of your favourite characters in the original Star Wars trilogy, not forgetting Cocoon, the 1970s Battlestar Galactica TV series and, of course, E.T. As well as designing the Reese's Pieces-munching cycling enthusiast, McQuarrie came up with his spaceship, with one key proviso from Spielberg: it had to look like Dr. Seuss had thought it up. 30 years later, you can get it a mini-version in a box with a 44-page digibook and the Blu-ray update (featuring HD walkie-talkies). The only problem is that it will serve as a continual reminder that E.T. went home, so may cause uncontrollable sobbing.

Relatively simple but still undeniably cool, this miniature batpod case was available in the US for just $9.99 on release but has since leapt up in price. Though not immediately apparent, the Blu-rays themselves are contained behind the Batpod in a backing stand that resembles a large, Wayne Enterprises-approved guitar pick with a couple of artistic scratches over the top. If this doesn't strike your fancy, there's always Amazon's batmask special edition to help you scare your family as and when you need to. Just gargle some gravel, scribble kohl around your eyes and you're good to go.

There are plenty of coffin-shaped DVD/Blu-ray boxes out there, but this one from Burton HQ is something a little different. Inside this particular casket there's a 2.5��� by 13.5" limited edition bust of Jack Skellington himself, as well as a Sandy Claws hat and beard (for the statuette, not you, alas – unless you have a particularly small head, of course) and a collector's booklet. And the whole thing plays sound clips from the film – "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" – which is handy if you have irritating relations visiting who might be unnerved by a skeletons.

If the Tyrannosaurus Rex is not your favourite dinosaur, you are simply, unequivocally wrong. Unless you're a stegosaurus kind of a guy/girl, in which case, fair enough. Since the T-Rex is the only dinosaur worth recreating in a miniaturised plastic form, Universal decided to release their ultimate, ultimate Jurassic Park Blu-ray trilogy box set with just that, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity that promises that they'll never release another one like it, ever (we think. We skimmed it while pretending to be a velociraptor). We await the stegosaurus version, however.

Although Disney's straight-to-video sequel output is varied, to say the least – let's pretend Kronk's New Groove and Bambi II don't exist – The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and The Lion King 1½ aren't actually all that bad. Unfortunately, the cardboard African drum that hosts them is all that bad, with the Blu-rays housed in a flimsy Velcro-and-card number that might as well be purposely designed to scratch the discs. And the drum itself doesn't even sound good. Ah well, Hakuna matata, we suppose...

Like the Lion King follow-ups, the two straight-to-DVD Cinderella sequels, Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and Cinderella III: Twist in Time, both pale in comparison to the much-loved original. That doesn't mean they go without a special Disney box set, however, and fans of the precarious footwear fancier have the chance to buy a mirror-topped jewellery box complete with all three movies. Sadly, they decided against housing the Blu-rays inside a massive glass slipper, or a giant pumpkin on wheels, or a Fairy Godmother bust, or a model of a mouse. Come to think of it, why is it in a jewellery box again?

It���s unusual for indie movies by name directors to get the special fancy DVD treatment, although we'd like to see more Coen Brothers movies up for it – a wood chipper Fargo Blu-ray case or a DVD-filled miniature Hudsucker Proxy hula-hoop, anyone? – but The Big Lebowski was always a law unto itself. Sure, this bowling ball would never make it down the lane (and Donny would be sure to mark it zero anyway), but there's no doubt that this is exactly the sort of thing The Dude would consider laboriously writing out a cheque for. N.B. No miniature rug is included, though we're holding out for one come the 20th anniversary. After all, it'd really tie the DVD shelf together… dodges tomatoes, jumps out of window

Taking its inspiration more from the original Mel Brooks TV series than the somewhat lacklustre 2008 movie, the Get Smart shoe-phone DVD case is a masterpiece of multimedia packaging, managing to be both utterly preposterous and yet, somehow, something you'd be willing to display in your home. Shame they didn't offer TV series-based alternatives like the tie phone, the comb phone, the sandwich phone, the perfume bottle phone, the handkerchief phone, the garden hose phone, the painting-of-a-telephone phone and the unforgettable phone-within-a-phone phone (which has one hell of a ringtone).

This Amazon exclusive sees Nite Owl's big-eyed amphibious aircraft turned to plastic and perched upon four handy jets of water leaping into the sky in a rather nice example of the more sculptural end of the DVD special edition spectrum. Disappointingly, the Blu-rays themselves don't eject from the ship, instead popping out of the base so that "Archie" (after Archimedes, Merlin's pet owl) can – wait for it – light up and make taking-off sound effects. Fortunately, Leonard Cohen's awkward sex scene-accompanying Hallelujah is not one of the available sounds. Thank. God.

As if the 10 DVDs inside weren't enough, the Wachowski siblings thought the diehard Matrix fans out there – and if you want to own Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions in yet another format, you're definitely a diehard Matrix fan – deserved something more. Assuming, of course, that we're here at all and not inside some machine-induced virtual reality dreaming of DVD special editions. Here, then, is Neo, recreated in plastic and covered in green numbers. Note the pile of cables he's leaning on, as well as the fact he has only one shoulder. You know, just like in The Matrix.

H.P. Lovecraft originally made mention of the Necronomicon in his 1924 short story The Hound. 57 years later, the very same book of the dead – or a very similar book of the dead with a very similar name – caused havoc for Ash, Linda, Scotty and Shelly in The Evil Dead, unleashing untold misery and possibly the worst case of restless hand syndrome ever known to man. 19 years after that, a genius somewhere in Sam Raimi's office decided that 2002 was the year to release the original film in a Necronomicon-shaped package, with Evil Dead II coming out in a slightly bluer, slightly viler, equally brilliant edition just a little bit later. As for the chainsaw-shaped Army of Darkness version, well, that can only be a matter of time.

So we begin the incredibly creepy heads-full-of-DVDs portion of our presentation, kicking things off with arguably the best. Featuring detailed lines on the face, working zippers on a real shirt and well-glued, thick hair, this ape is so great you almost don't expect any films inside. A quick look around the back, however, and you'll soon find a flap in the fabric that hides the box – a box you can easily remove and put somewhere else on your DVD shelf, should reaching around an ape's head make you feel a bit weird of an evening. In other words, though it's probably not the first thing you're going to show a potential other half the first time they come round your place, it's definitely a very impressive piece of kit – even though it doesn't feature Rupert Wyatt's 2011 reboot, alas.

The head-shaped box set that started Fox's brief head-shaped box set craze, this 2004 25th anniversary plastic Xenomorph cranium is probably the only DVD-bonce available that's creepier than the Planet Of The Apes version. Instead of a special slot for a separate box, this head has a semi-translucent top that can be detached to reveal the Alien quadrilogy (and extras discs) standing upright in individual disc slots. Also doubles as one hell of a paperweight, a blunt instrument or, if you're feeling sinister, a very expensive doorknocker. See also the limited edition facehugger VHS briefcase.

If giant Xenomorph noggins aren't your style, consider this bust of a glowing alien egg being hugged by a remarkably friendly (although surely not to scale) extra-terrestrial. Like the Harry Potter's Hogwarts replica et al., this is a Blu-ray-box-in-the-base number that allows room for – you guessed it – the egg to glow in the dark. Other than that, it's entirely immovable, making it a potential doorstopper to accompany your aforementioned alien cranium doorknocker, or a particularly spooky bedside lamp.
Current price online: £169.99
Perhaps the most impressive head box set Fox has ever released, this incredibly detailed recreation of I, Robot's Sonny even features flexible wires connecting the base to the plastic skull, as well as minute workings inside the head itself. Unlike the Alien egg or Nite Owl's ship, it doesn't light up or have any sound effects, but the sheer detail makes it truly something to behold. What's more, there's no egregious product placement to be found anywhere here – unless you're counting the film I, Robot itself, in which case, there's absolutely loads of it.
Current price online: £295.00
Essentially a plastic mould of Predator's upper torso with a flap where his spine should be, this special edition head box set isn't of the best quality, but considering it was originally on sale for £40, perhaps that's to be expected. No lights or sounds either, making it relatively static and pretty much unfiddleable-withable. Still, if the idea of a masked extra-terrestrial trophy hunter staring down at you (in heat-sensing mode, no doubt) appeals, then this is the deadlocked box set for you.

The attaché case/briefcase/suitcase box set idea has been around since the first VHS choked up the first JVC player back in the late '70s, but these four are arguably the best of the (recent) bunch. Inception's case (£60.00) looks like a posh poker set, Blade Runner's box (£105.70) looks like a posh poker set with "Blade Runner" on the side, The Complete Bond Collection (£170.00) looks like a slightly-bigger-than-average posh poker set, and The Avengers' Nick Fury dossier (delayed until spring 2013 due to licensing issues) looks like a… well, you get the idea.
If you're a discerning muggle who doesn't have room on their shelf for a miniature castle – or just don't want to pay for the no doubt ruinously expensive upkeep – then consider this particular box of magic tricks, complete with a map of Hogwarts, Slytherin's horcrux locket, sketches from BAFTA award-winning production designer Stuart Craig, concept art prints and, as they say, much, much more. But just to warn you: unpacking it all requires as much tidying-up time as if you'd poured a LEGO Diagon Alley all over the floor and kicked a few pieces under the carpet – and we mean that in a good way.

If a one-shouldered miniature bust of Neo doesn't strike your fancy, consider this plastic recreaction of the Nebuchadnezzar, Morpheus's favourite EMP-blasting hovercraft spaceship thing. Delivered in a remarkably big cardboard box – perhaps just under a metre long – it contains the regular Blu-rays in a regular Blu-ray cardboard box, with the 65cm-long ship alongside it boasting special slots in a secret compartment to house said discs. But though there's some nice detailing, such as the moveable blue hover pads, it remains a big plastic white (well, black) elephant that is easily broken and difficult to display. One for diehard diehard Matrix afficionados – like the Wachowski siblings, for example.

Passing up the chance to put their triple-play edition of Brian De Palma's 1983 crime drama inside a recreation of Tony Montana's "little friend" – also known as a Colt AR-15 with fake M203 grenade launcher – Universal's DVD design department plumped for a pseudo cigar box instead. Inside you'll find a dollar bill with Tony's face on it that reads "I TRUST ME", Tony's driver's licence, several high quality character photo prints and a tie clip with Tony's insignia on etched onto it. Note the neat 'The World Is Yours' cigar band on the corner as well as the conspicuous lack of any actual Cuban cigars – which would be very much illegal, of course…

At first glance, this box set looks pretty unremarkable. Once you open it up, however, it's safe to say your jaw will drop – perhaps low enough for an octopus to crawl out. As well as the three movies you'd expect in a Vengeance Trilogy box set – namely Park Chan-wook's Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy and Lady Vengeance – it's also got a life-size hammer that doubles as a bottle opener. Sure, they could have snuck a rubbery squid in there, but that's just a choking hazard waiting to happen and they're notoriously difficult to open beers with. On top of the films and the hammer there are special features discs for each movie, several still print outs and some brownish blueprints – though let's be honest, you're probably just going to get this one so you can shout "Hammer time!" before popping open a Hite.

Terminator Salvation isn't necessarily everyone's first thought when it comes to Must-Buy Elaborate Blu-Ray Box Set purchases, but this little metal-effect skull box has a neat trick up its sleeve, or, rather, round the back of its cranium. As well has having room for the new Blu-ray itself, it also has slots for The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, all in the same bonce, making this a must buy for Skynet completists. The Blu-ray of the Salvation itself, meanwhile, has all the usual mod cons – deleted scenes, mini documentaries and the like – but it's the high quality robo-skull that'll most likely raise an 'Add To Basket' eyebrow.

Four Rambo movies. One oversized plastic grenade casing. Several years' worth of weird looks from anyone who sees it on your DVD shelf. The Blu-rays themselves have some amazing extras too, including featurettes called "How To Become Rambo", "Guts And Glory", "Sly Vs. Rambo" and "Rambonomics" on top of a "humorous ending" for First Blood and audio commentary from Sly as well. Annoyingly, there's no news on an overscreen kill count for the fourth film – the confusingly-titled Rambo – a film which sees 236 people die in 92 minutes. First Blood, meanwhile, only has one person die. In 93 minutes.

A simple one and a rare one, this: Alex Cox's 1984 cult classic Repo Man – and not 2010's immensely disappointing Jude Law and Forest Whitaker sci-fi Repo Men – in a licence plate-shaped tin box, complete with soundtrack, booklet and poster print out. The perfect thing for anyone who loves Repo Man, though perhaps not as impressive as, say, a car-shaped number or a bust of Harry Dean Stanton. We can but dream…

In the topic of licence plates, here's one with a touch more pop cultural cache: OUTATIME. As well as that licence plate of licence plates, there's a steelbook trilogy box, blueprints for the De Lorean, scientific sketches for the hoverboard, a copy of the Hill Valley Telegraph, a photo of Doc Brown and Marty by the clock from BTTF III, four massive posters (including one for the 25th anniversary rerelease), your very own Gray's Sports Almanac and, um, Blu-rays of the actual films. All you need now is your very own pair of self-lacing Nikes and you've got the whole package.

Going through this hollowed-out bookshelf-busting tome's contents for the first time, you might be a smidge disappointed. There's a lot of paper, for starters, and unlike The Vengeance's Trilogy there's no bottle opener version of an iconic film prop – a Holy Grail with a corkscrew attachment is begging to be made – but if you look a little closer you'll see a real diamond in amongst the rough stuff, namely a gloriously-detailed, 144 page long reproduction of Henry Jones Sr.'s grail diary. Then there's a film cell, a grail rubbing, the menu from Pankot Palace, a Club Obi-Wan matchbook, four film stills, two photos and some zeppelin travel tickets. Oh, and the Indy trilogy on Blu-ray and some movie about a skull or something.

As you'd expect from a movie about cars that transform into talking robots, the box set for Michael Bay's original three tranformeraramas requires a little bit of deconstruction before you can get at that robot-on-robot violence you adore. First, you must take out the upside-down pyramid from atop the static base. Then you must use your best origami skills to unfurl each side and reveal the discs. Then, you must watch the films. Then must you reconstruct the inverted triangle and put it back on your shelf. Then you must worry about whether $144.95 for all this and a signed a plastic plaque is a good investment. No really, you must.

The Wanted box set you never knew you wanted comes with the usual booklet bumph, character artwork and plastic still stand, but the real beauty of it is in the casing that covers the whole package. Inspired by the bullet-bending antics of the Angelina and the rest of the assassins at The Fraternity, there's a fake casing built into the plastic shell, making it appear like someone's slung a slug at your very own copy of Timur Bekmambetov's actioner. The biggest absence is a minaturised version of the Loom Of Fate, which could conceivably print off your week's lottery numbers or order something at your nearest Chinese takeway, but considering the reduced price tag don't hold your breath that'll happen any time soon…

The Twilight Saga has issued a number of different limited edition DVD and Blu-ray releases, from the simpler The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Limited Edition Memory Box) to the altogether shinier Twilight Ultimate Collectors Gift Set from back in 2009. Open the box and you'll find a Twilight watch, a Twilight charm bracelet, a Twilight mirror (with Edward's face on it), a Twilight book, a batch of Twilight stills and a copy of the Twilight soundtrack. All of this is wrapped up in a ribbon, stamped with a fake wax seal – and this is just for the first film. Imagine what Summit Entertainment have planned for all four of the Twilight film series when it gets its ultimate Blu-ray collectors edition release. We're guessing life-sized busts of the three leads, glitter dust and a collapsible double bed – for starters.
