Stocks slid on Wall Street Thursday, a day after the Dow Jones industrial average logged its biggest one-day drop of the year, as investors fretted about the potential for gridlock in Washington.
The Dow was down 20 points to 12,910 as of 11:30 a.m. Eastern. The Standard and Poor's 500 index fell three points to 1,392 and the Nasdaq composite slipped six to 2,931.
The Dow plunged 313 points Wednesday, its fifth worst one-day drop following a U.S. presidential election. The biggest, in 2008, came in the midst of the financial crisis on the day after President Barack Obama won his first term.
The sell-off came the day after Obama was elected for a second four-year term as investors turned their focus back to Europe's problems and the so-called fiscal cliff, a package of tax increases and government spending cuts in the U.S. that could stall the economic recovery unless Congress acts by Jan. 1.
"The thinking before the election was that it would remove some of the uncertainty, but it seems to have done the opposite," said Tyler Vernon, chief investment officer at Biltmore Capital Advisors in Princeton, N.J.
Investors were encouraged by two reports on the U.S. economy that came out before the market opened. The Dow climbed as much as 48 points but started to sink after the first hour of trading.
The Labor Department reported that the number of people seeking unemployment benefits fell 8,000 last week to 355,000, a possible sign that the job market is healing. Officials cautioned that the figures were distorted by Superstorm Sandy.
A separate report showed that the U.S. trade deficit narrowed to its lowest level in almost two years as exports rose to a record high.
There was also encouraging news from Europe, where leaders shocked markets a day earlier with a dire forecast for economic growth next year.
European Central Bank head Mario Draghi said financial market confidence "has visibly improved" as the 17-country group that uses the euro struggles with its debt crisis. But he said the outlook for the economy remains "weak." Draghi spoke after the bank's governing council left its key interest rate unchanged at 0.75 percent.
The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, on Wednesday slashed its outlook for growth for this year and 2013. The report helped set off a sharp decline in stocks in the U.S and Europe.
Among stocks making big moves:
— Energy drink maker Monster Beverage sank $2.41 to $42.56 after the company said its revenue growth slowed in the third quarter.
— Dean Foods rose 88 cents to $16.96 after the company reported a third quarter profit of $36 million for the third quarter, compared with a $1.5 billion loss in the same period a year earlier.
— Burger chain Wendy's rose 25 cents to $4.51 after the company said that a key sales figure rose. Revenue at restaurants open at least 15 months rose 2.7 percent, the sixth straight quarter of growth.

The Diocese of St. Paul confirmed that Father Gilbert Dasna, 32, who served in this small community northeast of Edmonton, was killed Friday during a violent incident that occurred at the church rectory.
Mounties have said that about the same time, gunshots rang out near the town's RCMP detachment, and police began hunting for a black Dodge pickup that was seen leaving the area.
Police said the truck later rammed a police cruiser in downtown St. Paul, seriously injuring an officer and leaving two other Mounties with injuries from a shootout that ended with the suspect in the truck dead.
Police say would be premature to speculate on the cause of death of the suspect until an autopsy and ballistics tests are performed.
Investigators said they don't know yet whether the priest's death, which they consider a homicide, is related to the violent confrontation downtown.
Pierre Lamoureux, a spokesman for the diocese, said a church official was told Dasna was found lying inside the door of the rectory suffering from what were believed to be gunshot wounds to the chest.
Lamoureux said the church has no idea if the assailant is connected with the person who died during the confrontation with police, or what motive anyone may have had for killing Dasna.
"It's very disturbing. People don't know what happened and that is, or course, the first step toward healing and grieving and moving on in Father Dasna's memory," Lamoureux said.
"He was well-loved. He was a man of joy, a man of peace."
RCMP said the incident started suddenly around the supper hour. Gunshots were heard just outside the town's RCMP detachment and members ran out and saw a black Dodge pickup truck leaving the parking lot.
At the same time, a call came in about a male in distress at a residence a few blocks away. Mounties responded and transported an injured man to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Meanwhile, other officers looking for the black truck found it on the east side of town. It then turned around, police said, and headed back into the core. Police said the driver shot and hit a police officer in one cruiser, and then appeared to purposely ram another police vehicle.
RCMP said more officers arrived and the driver began shooting at them, and that police fired back.
They said the suspect, who they identified as John Carlos Quadros, 55, of St. Paul, died at the scene.
The incident shook police officers. Chief Supt. Randy McGinnis compared it to a "horrific movie scene."
Police have said that the most seriously injured officer was in the RCMP vehicle that was rammed, and that she suffered extensive injuries to both legs.
On Saturday, they said she was in serious condition but that her injuries were not life-threatening.
The two other officers, police said, have been treated and released. One was hit in the hand by a bullet, police said, while the other was hit in the face by flying glass.
Alberta's Serious Incident Response Team, a provincial unit that investigates the use of force by police, has now taken over the probe into the gunfight with police that left the suspect dead.
Mounties, meanwhile, will continue the investigation into Dasna's death.
RCMP staff Sgt. Ron Campbell and Lynn Crawford with the provincial investigation unit both said they were conducting "parallel" investigations.
More than a block of 50th Avenue, the main street in St. Paul, was closed to traffic for much of Saturday as the investigation continued. The smashed black truck was still there in the morning, according to workers in a few businesses that were able to open because they had back doors accessible from other streets.
Customers who ventured downtown on Saturday were talking about what had happened, according to Victor Mailloux, an employee at St. Paul Foundry Ltd.
"We're not scared. We're a bit in the dark," Mailloux said.
The Diocese of St. Paul said Dasna was born in Cameroon and had served in St. Paul since 2011.
It said his death occurred on the third anniversary of his arrival in Canada, which was May 9, 2011.
It said its bishop and its members of the diocese will pray for the priest's soul, as well as for the soul of his alleged assailant.

Bear In Heaven's Beast Rest Forth Mouth was an unexpected delight from last year. The remix album they released was pretty decent, too. Today's good news is that they have just confirmed the release of their next album (via Pitchfork). The name? I Love You, It's Cool which will be released through Dead Oceans in April.
A common thing for bands to do is stream the album or a particular track in advance of its release. Well, Bear In Heaven are doing that. Sort of. They are streaming the whole record once through from now until April 3. This means that it's played at 400,000 per cent slower than the real thing. Go here to listen to it.
According to a press release and indeed that Pitchfork article, the record stream is a "comment on the current state of album promotion, hype cycles, countdowns and all the marketing ploys that we accept as a reality of existing within an internet age." Watch a well-shot video below.

Marlins fall to Mets despite Stanton's two homers
RF again makes Citi Field look small with 21st and 22nd of season
NEW YORK -- At a time Giancarlo Stanton is heating up, the Marlins' starting pitching has remained suspect. Stanton belted two home runs, but lefty Brad Hand yielded a pair of homers the Marlins were unable to overcome.
Lucas Duda delivered the decisive shot, connecting on a two-out, two-run homer in the sixth inning as the Mets rallied for a 4-3 win on Friday night at Citi Field.
"Really, the difference was they got the three-run homer and the two homers from Stanton were solo shots," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "That ended up being the difference. The big home run was a bigger number."
The Marlins have lost seven of their last nine, and both of the wins came in games Jose Fernandez started. Now that Fernandez has been shut down for the season, the club is looking for some of their young prospects to step up.
Hand is getting a chance. The lefty made his first start for Miami this season. He held a one-run lead with two outs in the sixth before Duda did his game-changing damage. Hand worked 5 2/3 innings, giving up four runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts.
For the most part, Hand was effective. But his night was foiled by one hanging curveball.
"I thought he did a great job," Redmond said. "He really just made that one bad pitch to Duda. He left the ball up on the three-run homer. I thought he moved the ball around well, threw strikes and commanded the strike zone real well. I thought it was a great effort."
Andrew Brown also homered for New York.
"I was feeling pretty good -- keeping the ball down, throwing strikes, and getting ahead," Hand said. "I didn't finish one pitch. I left the ball up to Duda, and it cost us the game."
The Marlins managed three runs off Jon Niese, who exited after striking out seven in 6 1/3 innings.
The Marlins collected seven hits, but the two biggest were from Stanton, who enjoyed his ninth career multi-home run game, and third of the season, with the previous one coming on June 17 at Arizona. The slugger now has four homers in his last six games, and 22 on the season.
It's been a disappointing overall season for Stanton, who is batting .256 with 52 RBIs in 100 games. Despite his struggles, and lost time due to injuries, the 23-year-old says it is very important to finish on a high.
"It really doesn't matter what I do to finish the season," Stanton said. "I will never get back how terrible I've been. But to turn it completely around is something I need to do, something I better do."
The Marlins had additional chances, but they were hurt by an inability to execute sacrifice bunts in the fifth and eighth innings.
Hand had a chance to help his cause in the fifth. But with runners on the corners, he bunted into an inning-ending, 1-6-4 double play.
In the eighth, Adeiny Hechavarria ended up striking out, with Chris Coghlan, on first after he was unable to drop a sacrifice bunt.
"We've struggled bunting, that's for sure," Redmond said. "That's definitely an area we need to get better at."
Hand was initially slated to start in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, but he was pushed up a day due to the reshuffling of the rotation because of Nathan Eovaldi's tight back.
The teams exchanged solo home runs in the second inning. Stanton opened the scoring with his laser shot to left-center to lead off the inning. But Miami's edge was short lived, as Brown belted a 1-1 changeup to left in the bottom of the inning to tie the game.
Back-to-back doubles by Ed Lucas and Donovan Solano in the fifth put the Marlins in front, 2-1. But the momentum then shifted to the Mets, who claimed a 4-2 lead in the sixth on Duda's three-run blast.
"It's just a situation where you have to make a pitch," Hand said. "You have to get out of that inning. I was trying to go curveball away, down-and-away from him. I just left it up a bit."
Eric Young Jr. doubled to open the inning, but Hand was able to collect a couple of outs. Brown drew a walk, and on a 2-2 pitch, Duda lifted a drive to right field. Stanton gave it a run and made a leaping attempt, but the ball landed into the netting beyond the wall.
"I think it's certainly something Lucas has got to feel good about right now," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "He's a big, strong guy. Everybody expects him to hit homers. I just expect him to drive runs in. I think that swing tonight might really get him started in the last couple weeks. It was a big swing for us. It was a big game for us to win."
Miami chipped back to 4-3 in the seventh on Stanton's second shot, a liner to left.
"It was a little back-and-forth type deal," Stanton said. "But we were right there until the end of the game."

Is it mandatory and/or recommended for a Debian Developer to use Debian as the primary OS?
Thank you.
It is possible to create Debian packages also on other (Unix-compatible) operating systems, but it is much more difficult and not a very good idea.
It's probably easier to set up a system with Debian as native OS than trying to emulate its functionality on another...

In the 24 hours after running back Ray Rice stunned the San Diego Chargers with his game-saving catch-and-run, the football world — teammates, fans, and former NFL players turned talking heads — marveled at the play, saying it was among the greatest individual efforts they had seen.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh believes Rice's remarkable play is "going to go down in history."
"We're all going to talk about the fourth-and-29," he said at his Monday news conference. "I said [Sunday] night it was the greatest play I've ever seen or been a part of. It was 11 guys who made the play happen. One guy had a real big role in it. It was a sensational play by Ray Rice."
With 1:59 left in the fourth quarter of the 16-13 overtime win, the Ravens needed 29 yards to convert on fourth down and keep their hopes alive. They sent four receivers streaking down the field, but when quarterback Joe Flacco could no longer wait for one to run open, he dumped the ball off to Rice instead of throwing it up for grabs.
Rice caught the ball, crossed midfield then quickly side-stepped three Chargers defenders. As Rice closed in on the first-down marker, wide receiver Anquan Boldin laid a crushing block on Chargers safety Eric Weddle —Harbaugh said it was "as physical of a block as you will ever see" — giving Rice just enough running room to dive for the marker between a pair of defenders.
After officials did a thorough review on instant replay, re-spotted the ball and brought out the chains for a measurement, the improbable was confirmed. Rice got the first down by inches.
The Ravens tied the game with a Justin Tucker field goal and won with another late in overtime.
The win, coupled with a Pittsburgh Steelers loss, puts the Ravens in position to possibly secure their second straight AFC North title Sunday. They would clinch if they beat the Steelers, who could get quarterback Ben Roethlisberger back, and the Cincinnati Bengals lose to the Chargers.
Harbaugh praised his players for positioning themselves well with the win, but he stopped short of saying that Rice's game-saving play should be considered a turning point for his 9-2 team.
"I admire the play. Like I said, it's the greatest play I've seen," Harbaugh said. "We'll see what it means if we can capitalize on it and stack some success on top of that."

NH political player of 2012: Bill O'Brien
This is the fourth in a series examining who had the most impact on New Hampshire politics in 2012.
Drive to any state capitol around the country and there will generally be three constant facts about any House speaker.
First, they have been elected to many terms. Second, they are basically unknown to anyone who lives or works more than three blocks outside of the capitol. Third, their power rarely extends beyond the House and only marginally into the larger politics as a whole.
Those three rules have certainly held true in New Hampshire for years, but they certainly didn't in 2012.
With Democrats taking back the House in November, Republican Bill O'Brien no longer holds the title of house speaker. While he had a tough year politically, no other person in the state had a bigger impact on state politics.
In 2012, O'Brien was fully engaged. He presided over a House that was very conservative and had an historic three to one Republican majority. He knew it was the opportunity to drive bills and ideas that wouldn't normally pass.
They were ideas that led to state house protests and national attention.
He was unorthodox. He was new to politics and had never even served as a subcommittee chairman before becoming speaker. He built such a name for himself that the WMUR Granite State Poll began, for the first time, tracking his favorability. Even President Barack Obama mentioned him by name during a campaign rally. And O'Brien wanted to be part of the conversation in national politics and in the day to day operation of the state Republican Party.
When it came to the state's presidential primary, O'Brien didn't play it safe as an establishment person with his title would have in other states. He backed Newt Gringrich over Mitt Romney and flew to Iowa to make the announcement. He was involved in efforts to create Voter ID and Right to Work laws, repeal the state's same-sex marriage law and a law that would force employers to provide contraception coverage.
O'Brien's name was uttered more on the campaign trail in New Hampshire -- for good or bad -- than Obama.
He had no problem firing people. He had no problem running primary challenges against his own members if they weren't in line.
Procedurally, a state house bill's fate is determined by whether or not it has the governor's backing. In 2012, the most important question was whether O'Brien wanted to try to get a super-majority to back the idea.
In the November elections, O'Brien had become on unpopular person to run with. People can disagree with how big of a role he played into losses of for governor or Congress, or Executive Council or state Senate and certainly the loss of the House he played, but he did play a role that few did.
Take basically every major political story in the state this year and Bill O'Brien either created the story or shaped it. That's impact. And it is why Bill O'Brien is the 2012 N.H. Political Player of the Year.

Vets Angry Over Film About Fraudster Posing as Fallen Soldier
GI Film Festival defends "Unclaimed" as important film about Vietnam War.
May 2, 2013 -- Sgt. 1st Class John H. Robertson was aboard a Vietnamese Air Force H-34 helicopter on a special operations mission over Laos when it was shot down by enemy ground fire and exploded on May 20, 1968. U.S. servicemen who witnessed the crash say there were no survivors, and his body was never recovered.
In 1976, a military review board changed Robertson's status from "missing in action" to officially deceased; his wife, who later remarried, and two young daughters moved on.
A new documentary, "Unclaimed," suggests that Robertson is still alive at 77, living in the jungle. But the U.S. government has said emphatically that the man -- a French-born, Vietnam citizen Dang Tan Ngoc -- is a well-investigated scammer.
The film premiered this week at Toronto's Hot Docs film festival, and will have its first American screening May 12 at the GI Film Festival in Washington, D.C.
Canadian director Michael Jorgensen's controversial documentary suggests the former Green Beret has for the past 44 years lived in poverty and is now married to a Vietnamese woman with four children. He speaks no English, according to the film, but in a reunion with his sister in Canada depicted in the documentary, she says he is for real.
The film is in English, but the director uses the services of a Vietnamese translator who immigrated to Canada when Saigon fell to the Communist government in the 1970s.
Jorgensen told ABCNews.com that what drew him to the story was his "highest regard" for those who serve in the military, who are "willing to sacrifice themselves for an ideal or just your brother. ...guys who go shoulder to shoulder with you on the battlefield."
The filmmaker asks why the American government left Robertson -- and perhaps others -- behind.
The military has investigated the case three times over the last decade, according to the Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office. "All claims and alleged live sighting reports related to Robertson have been investigated, and found to be false," they said in a statement.
Government reports obtained by ABCNews.com show, among other details, that the man's fingerprints did not match those of the fallen soldier.
The film has enraged some veterans' groups who say that the man purporting to be Robertson is a fraud and giving the film a showcase at the GI Film Festival is an insult to those who served honorably in the Vietnam War.
"... you chose to tarnish the legacy of valor of American heroes to line your pockets with thirty pieces of silver or further your agenda," wrote Don Bendell, an author and former Green Beret who served in the special forces in Vietnam, wrote to the president of the GI Festival. "You apparently do not have the balls or principle to see how you are hurting the families of veterans on this by providing a forum for a complete scam.
"You have helped con artists to give false hope to a poor unfortunate sister and survivors of an honorable hero who are clutching at any possible straw of hope that their hero might still be alive."
Bendell, 66, who has been active in the P.O.W. Network and its Fake Warriors Project, which uncover cases of "stolen valor," said that in 2006 the Robertson imposter "admitted to the government that he was a con artist and part of a fake con game.
"We know this guy is a fake," he told ABCNews.com. "I don't know if it's fame or fortune or what it is. Some people want their 15 minutes."
Bendell said the notion that Robertson could not speak English is "stupid," especially because of his training in special operations. "To make it you have to have an above average IQ and high language aptitude," he said. "The guy was no dummy...How can a person forget their native language?"
According to the government report, the crash site had not yet been excavated to look for bodies or DNA. But Bendell said, "Green Berets don't leave guys behind. There was no way others would have left him on the ground if he had been wounded."
Brandon L. Millett, co-founder and president of the GI Film Festival, has told ABCNews.com that he is aware of the controversy surrounding the film. He said the Washington-D.C.-based festival, which in the past has honored actors like Gary Sinese, will screen "Unclaimed," despite its critics.
"The festival ... will issue a statement prior to the screening to let the audience know about the objections to the film and its content -- because one of the film festival's jobs is to screen interesting stories that stimulate public debate and foster conversation," he said in a statement.
John Hartley Robertson was born in Birmingham, Ala., in 1936, according to the film. He dropped out of school to join the Army and was later chosen to be part of the elite Special Operations Group in Vietnam, MACV-SOG. He was on a war mission when the helicopter crashed in Laos.
"Unclaimed" follows the journey of Tom Faunce, a Michigan man who served two years in Vietnam and made a pledge to uphold his military oath, "leave no man behind." He returns to Vietnam four decades later and discovers a mysterious man who claims to be Robertson.
Faunce works to prove the lost soldier's identity, reuniting him with his family, sister Jean, brother-in-law Henry Holley and their two daughters, Gail and Judy. The filmmakers say the documentary provides a public forum to seek answers from the government in the handling of the case and to have conclusive DNA testing.
Jorgensen, who shot the film last year in Vietnam, Canada and the U.S, told ABCNews.com that the government has never made contact with Jean Robertson-Holley or her family. Just after the film was made, the elder Holleys were critically injured in a car accident and are now in a long-term care facility.
He wonders why the government never called the family when they were interrogating Dang Tan Ngoc, allegedly as far back as 1991 or even 1982. The last such inquiry was in 2009 when the fingerprints were analyzed, according to government reports.
"That's standard operating procedure," he said. "It's simple enough. If someone is perpetrating a hoax or is a fraudster, do your due diligence and warn people, contact the family."
Jorgensen said he spoke to a "representative" of Robertson's American wife, who had since remarried. "They just don't want to be involved," he said. "I was very respectful of that."
"I am absolutely convinced, 100 percent, that the family is convinced it is him," he said of Robertson's sister and brother-in-law. "I never set out to prove his identity. The film was about one Vietnam veteran's journey to help a guy find this man's family. ... Tom's story amazing story of what it means to be human."
As for the director of the GI Film Festival, he says "Unclaimed" is an important film that needs to be screened.
"Whether fact or fiction, "Unclaimed" is a fascinating story about a Vietnam veteran ... who dedicates himself to bringing home someone he believes to be an American GI left behind," said the film festival's Millett.
"Even if he is chasing a myth, we feel his story is compelling and worth telling, as long as it is accompanied by a disclosure to viewers about the controversy surrounding it."

Let's Plant It Forward
What if you could make the world a happier place by simply doing a little more of what you already enjoy (maybe even love)? What if you could #PlantItForward?
A beautiful garden, whether a potted up geranium on the front steps or a full-on front yard, is a place of pride and inspiration, and a source of joy and delight to you and all of those who also get to enjoy the beauty. But it's also something more, something bigger. Because when you plant something–small or grand–the benefits of your individual efforts to both people and the planet are amplified by all the other plantings around you. They all add up.
To what does it all add up? Well, your windowbox + my perennial border + our neighbor's vegetable garden + the parking lot down the street with a planted berm + a nearby city park when combined help to create an ecosystem that attracts and nurtures pollinators, helps to balance CO2 levels, increases overall green space, and brings a calming-but-exuberant sort of happiness to the community. If you think of your garden like a stream that joins others to becomes a river and eventually an ocean, it's a pretty powerful idea.
That's what we mean by #PlantItForward.
We want you to join us in this fun and important new project. Follow this link to learn more about the campaign and to enter to win a great sweepstakes. And read these 5 easy ways you can #PlantItForward this spring and be part of a global effort to plant a trillion trees. Remember, no garden is too small. It all adds up!
It seems like modern life has left us disconnected from what's in our blood–the natural rhythm of being part of the process of growing plants for food and for beauty, benefiting from the proven benefits that nature has on physical and mental health, and the "this feels so right" sense of having your hands in the soil, tending the earth. Your hands and your heart instinctively know how to garden, and when you honor that–even in the smallest of ways–you help to make this world more balanced, less chaotic, and just a better place.
Action: This spring, commit to planting at least one more thing–adding few perennials to a pot, a window box of annuals, a cutting from your neighbor's garden, a new shrub border, a small vegetable garden, a tree for future generations. Imagine the impact if each of us planted just one more plant…
Enabling (in a good way!) is a huge part of gardening, right? Instagram-envy, FOMO, and Plant Moms are real when it comes to gardening. The more we can help those around us who are being seduced by the gardens of others, the greater the number of gardens we can help to create.
Action: Be THAT neighbor, co-worker, or friend that helps others to find the joy in gardening. Encourage them plant something and help them to be successful. Doesn't have to be huge or complicated (houseplants, succulents, annuals, a shared clump of your daylilies–whatever's easy!), but when you share your skills and passion for gardening you grow something more than just plants.
While sharing homemade compost tea recipes with other gardeners is fun and important, larger institutions also need our help to fulfill their mission. Volunteer at a botanical garden, open your own garden to local tours, become a Master Gardener, organize a plant swap, mentor a grade school class in gardening. You get the idea. It doesn't have to take over your life–you're busy, we get that–but any level of gardening goodness helps.
Action: Commit to engaging and assisting a community-based gardening group that needs your help, skills, resources, and enthusiasm to expand their work and be more successful. Here are a few resources to get you started:
We're partnering with Plant-for-the-Planet, a global movement with an ambitious goal: to fight the climate crisis by planting trees around the world, one trillion to be exact. And, it all starts with YOU!
Action: It's simple, easy, and you're probably already doing it. Just plant something, take a picture of the finished effort, post the picture on Instagram and tag with #PlantItForward. For every tagged post, we will help plant trees for a better world through our valued partnership with Plant-for-the-Planet.
You in?
As part of our campaign to #PlantItForward we're sponsoring a fantastic sweepstakes where you can enter to win a collection of Monrovia's finest plants and a design consultation to enhance your home's curb appeal. Find all of the details HERE.
We know this one's hard (we're right there with you and we do this for a living!) but put down your phone, grab a hat and some sunscreen, and just go outside for 15 minutes today. Listen to some birds, sniff some flowers, pluck and nibble a fresh basil leaf, observe how the leaves flutter in the breeze, feel the damp cushion of moist spring soil under your feet–just be IN nature.
Action: Let nature nurture you. We promise you that the sense of well-being derived from nature makes you value it even more. And it costs nothing other than the time it takes to go outside.
We'd love to hear your thought and ideas for how you plan to #PlantItForward. Please post in the comments below. Remember–no garden is too small. It all adds up!

Planted a gardenia
I don't see to many nurseries any more that have all plants and needs like your. I once had my yard looking till my migraines took over I would like to see it looking nice again
Saw you on KTLA today❤Thanks for the awesome awareness you are bringing to the public. Continued success ‼???
We are fencing off a little area to plant veggies! Last year we fed the deer, so I'm looking forward to harvesting!
I love my gardens- its a sanctuary and brings me peace to play in the dirt! I've tried, for the last 27 years to plant at least 1 new flower or perennial in my yard so it can bring me joy!
I'm in!
Love Monrovia! I have a huge 25+ year old California garden that I am refurbishing . Would love to use some of the peach drift roses, amethyst oakleaf hydrangea, eden roses, nepeta. I am a huge fan of your product line. I have a front garden that is mostly water wise plants, an herb garden, and a back rose garden. I just planted some of your new coral bells varieties last weekend. I would love to partner with you on a blog post as well. cindyhattersleydesign.com/blog
I love this idea. My friends and family have shared plants for years. My garden is like a memory book of those I have received plants from. I have shared my heartiest plants with those who felt they could not grow anything and they now have gardens of their own.
I just bought a house on a large lot , no grass many dead trees, it's very hard to make it look nice the 1st year and so hard to wait as well. I wish there people who would let me help them with perineals so I could use some to fill my vast gaps!
If you see someone gardening in a yard with mature perennials, you could ask them if they had any plants they would be willing to divide and share with you. I am always happy to share if someone asks. I'm in Michigan, where are you located?
Where are you? I'd share if i can get things to you !
Love your #PlantItForward movement! I belong to the Ripon Garden Club and we are in the process of creating a Butterfly Garden located at one of our local parks along the river…it's just in the planning stages and this giveaway would be perfect and much appreciated to assist in the plants needed to make the perfect butterfly habitat for our community and future generations to enjoy. =)
I love all the ideas of the Plant it Forward program. I am a big believer in education and learning about all aspects of gardening. I attend as many classes I can at three local nurseries and our St Louis Botanical Garden. Many are offered free and the wealth of local knowledge is incredible. The giveaway prize would help me landscape and repair my backyard after replacing a retaining wall last fall. Thank you for the chance to win this amazing prize.
I love all the pretty things that our Lord has given us to enjoy. The trees. Pretty flowers. Bushes….just everything. I love Spring when everything is coming back from the cold winter. I'd sure love to win ! What a wonderful gift to do my yard over !
This Spring I am going to rework the landscaping in my fro t yard. Im going to add bushes and landcape rock.
My boyfriend taught me a lovely habit of his, he calls it "Earthing". He said he read something about it but couldn't remember what the article was about except for "Earthing". Earthing is stepping outside and taking of your shoes and walking around your lawn or garden area to feel nature under your feet. We have been married almost 22 years and we still Earth to this day.
[…] ENTER to win the give away HERE. […]
Wonderful idea ! I've been sharing plants and odeas for years. I work in a garden center and the Monrovia products are always so beautiful !!
BeBeautifully written. Thank you!
I am very excited by this movement!
Plant a tree or a shrub a famous saying if a first lady. If someone is interested in cleaning the air and helping the environment, plant, plant , plant. And bring joy in people's luves.
This is a good idea, hoping Azusa City has this plant it forward too !
I planted crocromia, day lillies and waiting for my landscaper to plant phlox. I live in Connecticut and can't wait for all the plants to come out and join the universe.
Pay it forward
Plant it forward
Love the concept
I plant Giant Zinneas every year in my garden ,harvest the seeds and share with friends every spring. Will be planting 5th generation seeds this year!
I organize an annual plant swap every year, everyone divides their plants and bring them to swap out for something they dont have and the best part we get brand new gardeners that are just starting out and everyone is happy to donate a plant or two to get them started!
I love my tiny garden and Spring has me breathless with possibilities! A little concerned this sweepstakes ends on a day that isn't. (April 31rst)
I'd love to win plants but maybe the terms should be updated?
Looking forward to your emails.
What a wonderful idea☺
It's quite therapeutic putting seeds or plants in the ground and watching them grow. I bought my little one some gardening gloves to help play in the garden this year. We have buddleia, salvia, phlox, lonicera sempervirens, echinacea, day lilies growing, blueberry bushes (dwarf and high bush), Apple trees, and just started a vegetable/herb garden this year (currently have radishes, beets, carrots, asparagus). Hellebore and hosta are growing in the shade. During the Winter months I enjoy growing African violets from leaf cuttings.
I'm planting, several reblooming fragrant Lilies.
I've been "Planting Forward" for more than 40 years. I given away and shared hundreds of plants with neighbors , friends, family and strangers and made new friends along the way, who have likewise shared or given me plants they didn't like or wouldn't grow so I could work my "green thumb" magic (their words). I really enjoy the tips and information form Monrovia and I always advise people to check out your website.
I love your ideas, especially Number 3! Get involved with your community. Your message is so very positive…good on you! Working in the garden just feeds one's soul, one's being. Whether It be digging out those pesky wild onions like I did today at the church garden, or composting areas in my own garden….. keep it up…your advice is fabulous for the planet and for each individual who reads your message.
While I love all the seasons here in Western New York, Spring is the one I most long for, the most refreshing, the most promising, the most encouraging. Seeing the new growth & so desiring of color to come exploding back into my garden. I will always have plants to love, cherish & plant.
We have a northwest garden with tall cedar and Douglas fir trees. In the front yard are various beautiful flowering trees, plus a number of rhododendron bushes. As it's the one shady area we started a hellebore container garden last year, and recently added more hellebores (they were a gift) with two more containers. We are able to have flowers blooming all year round in the northwest and have enjoyed having a small container garden on the patio, to view and enjoy every day.
Great idea. My neighbors comment that my balcony planting of geraniums brings daily joy.
As a Water Conservation an Public Information professional this challenge is right up my alley. I will plant my annual salsa garden along with spreading a mix of native, butterfly and bee friendly seeds in my yard. Through my job we are distributing 14 pounds of native mountain flower seeds during an Earth Day celebration to enable others to do the same. Our Big Bear Xeriscape Demonstration Garden serves as an example to our community of what's possible with little maintenance and very little water. I will plant another tree and I live to go outside!
I love Monrovia. All your plants have done beautifully in my garden.
Many thought you could not grow anything in the La Pine, Oregon high desert area at 4200' of Central Oregon. I began a Facebook Gardening group called South County Gardening 2 years ago. It's now over 450 members. I have large lush gardens here. I'm a Master Gardener. People laughed at me at first.
I hope to start a moon garden this year.
I love this! My favorite place to be is outside, with my hands in the dirt-literally. We are rearranging/have rearranged several of our gardens this winter/spring and it is so much fun to "paint" my landscape this way. Thank you Monrovia for giving us ideas to "PLANT IT FORWARD!" Wishes for great success to all the gardners out there.
I am growing more of my own vegetables this year and I am planting for the pollinators!
This is an amazing idea and the thing I've been looking for! I've been reading "Planting in a Post-Wild World" and am more and more convinced that gardening cam be a big answer to the global warming crisis, or at least a very real endeavor that individuals can undertake to make a tangible difference. Thanks for doing this! Can't wait to start planting the front beds of my rental house. Even if I have to leave it behind some day, the birds and bees (and passerbys) will be grateful for it.
Monrovia is the BEST!
Love this! I planted 2 Autumn Blaze Maple trees last week. I'm currently in the process of planning my landscaping for 1/2 acre around my 100 yr old farmhouse. I'm having so much fin! Thanks for providing valuable information on your website and sponsorship of this fantastic project! #plantlove
Great idea, if every person does this, every community would benefit, more beauty, more pride in their hometown, connecting with others, making everyone responsible for their part!
thanks for great article
Looking for native plants!
A nearby library (Ledyard's Bill Library) recently had a seed library exhibit. The seeds I was able to get for free included those I could use in my own garden, across the street in a meadow , and also at the Senior Center. It was wonderful!
We are planting dozens of extra tomato plants this year so that we may share with the food bank. This is the idea of my two grade school children who thought it up last year when we had an abundance of veggies from their garden. I am so proud of them!
Last fall we planted the following:clethera, Virginia sweetspire, white forscythia, Comfrey, Quince, purple coneflower, and agastache. Previous years we planted Montmerancy and Bing cherry trees, as well as 2 different crab apples, smoke bush, and caryopteris.
Let's all do it!

Powerful update to one of the world's best pitch and time correction software titles.
Celemony's Melodyne is one of the most widely used pitch correction softwares in the world, and now it's getting even better. Melodyne has always excelled at editing pitch, timing and tempo of a wide range of audio sources, and now with version 4, it does it better than ever. This is the most extensive update to the Melodyne family since its release. Highlights include the Sound Editor with its totally new sound design possibilities, DNA Direct Note Access – at last, on an unlimited number of tracks – and ultra-accurate tempo detection. The smaller Melodyne editions – editor, assistant and essential – have also been enhanced.
Melodyne 4 studio offers you all Melodyne functions for both correction and creative applications on an unlimited number of tracks. You can edit the sound and musical content of your recordings in such an intuitive manner or make such far-reaching changes with no other audio tool.
New soundscapes with the Sound Editor
With the Sound Editor in Melodyne 4 studio, you can edit the sound of your recordings – just like your music – in a more musical, detailed and inspiring way. From the subtle enhancement of envelopes and timbres to the manipulation of overtones, re-synthesis and radical experiments in sound design.
Melodyne recognizes the notes and their overtones – also a decisive advantage when it comes to sound processing. While conventional equalizers only act upon fixed frequencies, Melodyne adapts to the audio material itself. Adjust the level of individual overtones within each track, shape the basic sound of each instrument, relate the timbre or envelope of each note to its pitch, bring out the character of each sound source. The results are novel acoustically, often unique, invariably invigorating – yet the Sound Editor is intuitive and lends itself easily to creative use.
Multitrack Note Editing
With Melodyne 4 studio, you can work on an unlimited number of tracks – even with DNA Direct Note Access for polyphonic material. Multitrack editing has one very important advantage: you can see and edit the notes of as many tracks as you like simultaneously. The harmonies, melodies and rhythms of your project can all be viewed in context. And you can reach into this plastic image of the music, select notes and modify them, regardless of which tracks they belong to.
Track-transcending macros
In Melodyne 4 studio, the macros are even more useful because they are not confined to a single track. Select notes from as many tracks as you like and correct their intonation or timing in one go. Furthermore, synchronizing tracks is particularly easy: just define one track as the quantization master and sync all the other tracks to it.
New tempo intelligence
Melodyne 4's new tempo algorithms detect tempos, time signatures and any changes in tempo more accurately than ever before. Melodyne 4 tracks precisely the tempo of a live recording, with all its human inconstancy. The ensuing click keeps time with the musicians, not the other way around. And still, you enjoy all the practical benefits of a beat-based grid when working in your DAW.
Better note detection
Melodyne 4 now offers two algorithms optimized for polyphonic recordings. Depending upon the audio material, Melodyne employs either the Polyphonic Sustain (strings, organs…) or Polyphonic Decay (pianos, guitars…) Algorithm to obtain optimal sound quality in each case. Moreover, you can edit the note detection in far greater detail and therefore manage complex material still more effectively. So you can work even more closely and precisely on your music and obtain still higher sound quality from your editing.
Time-stretching for entire mixes
The Universal Algorithm in Melodyne is ideally suited to the time-stretching and pitch-shifting of entire mixes. The algorithm also delivers outstanding results with polyphonic material provided no access to individual notes is required. With its exceptional sound quality and modest CPU demands, 'Universal' is an invaluable addition to Melodyne's array of algorithms.
More elegant, user-friendly and modern
Melodyne 4 is easier to use and accelerates your workflow. With its variably configurable, single-window interface, you can adapt Melodyne perfectly to your own preferences and working requirements. What's more, the new browsers and inspectors afford a better overview and direct access to all important parameters. Beneath the surface, state-of-the-art software technology is at work – optimized for the latest operating systems, fully compatible with both 32- and 64-bit environments.
Dynamic just intonation
Melodyne 4's just intonation adds transparency and penetration to the sound. Whether you're working on an orchestral, choral or synthesizer recording, you'll find justly tuned chords sound smoother and more powerful. Give your production the benefit of this unique acoustic impression.

The Acts of Paul
J. K. Elliott
Tertullian, de Baptismo 17 (ed. A. Reifferscheid and G. Wissowa, CSEL 20 (Prague, Vienna, Leipzig, 1890), p. 215, or ed. J. W. P. Borleffs, CCL 1.2 (Turnhout, 1954), pp. 291–2), written at the end of the second century, knows of Thecla, and it may well be that he was aware of the existence of the Acts of Paul and Thecla which circulated separately, and indeed of the Acts of Paul as a whole. His testimony, however, is ambiguous. Borleff's edition speaks of the 'Acts of Paul', the CSEL edition of the 'writings attributed falsely to Paul'. 1 See A. Souter, 'The "Acta Pauli" etc. in Tertullian', JTS 25 (1924), 292 and J.W.P. Borleffs, 'La valeur du Codex Trecensis pour la critique de texte dans le traité de baptismo', VC 2 (1948), 185–200. Certainly the details given by Tertullian do not fit the Acts of Paul and Thecla precisely. de Bapt. tells that the author was a presbyter in Asia who resigned from office for falsely claiming that, on the precedent of Thecla's action, women had a right to preach and to baptize.
Unlike Tertullian (if he is indeed referring to the Acts of Paul), some other fathers do not disapprove of these Acts. Hippolytus, Commentary on Daniel 3.29, written about 204, refers to Paul and the lion without hesitation as orthodox (ed. G.N. Bonwetsch, GCS 1.1 (Leipzig, 1897), pp. 176–7).
The first explicit reference to the Acts of Paul by name is in Origen, de Principiis 1.2.3 (ed. p. Koetschau, GCS 22 (Leipzig, 1913), p. 30) and in his commentary on John 20, 12 (Preuschen, p. 342). Eusebius, HE 3.3.5, claims that the Acts of Paul does not belong to the undisputed books, but in HE 3. 25. 4 he distinguishes it from the lesser spurious works (Schwartz, GCS 9.1, pp. 190, 252). Jerome is more definite in rejecting the orthodoxy of the Acts of Paul. In his de Vir Ill. 7 (Richardson, pp. 11 ff.). the 'πɛρίοδοι Pauli et Theclae' is one of the 'apocryphal writings'.
After it was known that the Manichaeans had made use of the Acts of Paul subsequent church opinion branded the work as apocryphal. 2 See E. Junod and J.‐D. Kaestli, L'Histoire des Actes apocryphes des apôtres du IIIe au IXe siècle: le cas des Actes de Jean (Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchâtel, 1982) (= Cahiers de la Revue de Théologie et de Philosophie 7). Thus it is rejected (twice) in the Gelasian Decree, in the Stichometry of Nicephorus, and in the Catalogue of the Sixty Canonical Books. But it is included in the canonical list inserted into Codex Claromontanus of the Pauline epistles (D).
Clement of Alexandria, Strom. 6. 5 (Stählin, GCS 52(15), pp. 451–3) possibly shows knowledge of a work known as 'The Preaching of Paul'. Similarly Pseudo‐Cyprian in the third century, De Rebaptismate 17, (ed. G. Hartel, CSEL 3, Part 3 (Vienna, 1871), p. 90) refers to 'The Preaching of Paul', but there is no trace of a book with such a title, and it may well be that it is the Acts of Paul that are being referred to. W. Schneelmelcher, in Hennecke 3 i.e. the preceding stories in which he tells of the self‐sacrifice of Codrus and Lycurgus (taken from the historian Justin). , ii. 56; 5ii. 33 (Eng. trans. 3 i.e. the preceding stories in which he tells of the self‐sacrifice of Codrus and Lycurgus (taken from the historian Justin). ii. 92 ff.; 5ii. 31–2), is doubtful about connecting the Pseudo‐Cyprian reference to the Acts of Paul (cf. E. von Dobschütz, Das Kerygma Petri (Leipzig, 1893), pp. 127–31 (= TU 11.1)). James, in Apoc. Anec. (ii. 54–7) and then in ANT drew attention to later writings that may be referring to portions of the Acts of Paul. These include John of Salisbury's Policraticus 4.3 of the twelfth century, which includes the abstract of a sermon delivered by Paul in Athens that is not the Areopagus speech of Acts 18. The Latin text is given by James in Apoc. Anec. ii. 56, with an English rendering in ANT, p. 299, repeated here:
I make use of these examples 3 i.e. the preceding stories in which he tells of the self‐sacrifice of Codrus and Lycurgus (taken from the historian Justin). the more readily because I find that the apostle Paul when preaching to the Athenians made use of them also. That excellent preacher strove so to impress on their minds Jesus Christ and him crucified, that he might show by the example of heathens how the release of many came about through the shame of the cross. And this, he argued, could not happen save by the blood of the just, and of those who bore rule over the people. Further, no one could be found capable of freeing all, both Jews and Gentiles, save he unto whom the heathen are given for an inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth assigned for his possession. And such a one he said could be no other than the Son of God Almighty, since no one but God has subjected to himself all nations and lands. As, then, he proclaimed the shame of the cross in such a way as gradually to purge away the foolishness of the heathen, little by little he raised the word of faith and the language of his preaching, up to the Word of God, the wisdom of God, and the very throne of the divine majesty: and, lest the power of the gospel should seem mean in the weakness of the flesh by dint of the slanders of Jews and the folly of heathens, he set forth the works of the crucified, which were confirmed by the witness of common report; since it was plain to all that none but God could do such things. But as report often falsifies, in both directions, report was assisted by the fact that Christ's disciples did even greater works, seeing that by the shadow of a disciple (Peter) the sick were healed of every kind of disease. What more? The ingenuities of an Aristotle, the subtleties of a Chrysippus, the traps of all the philosophers were defeated by the rising of one who had been dead.Another text cited in its original Latin in Apoc. Anec. (ii. 54) and translated in ANT (p. 298) is from Commodianus, Carmen de Duobus Populis (cf. ed. J. Martin, CC 128 (Turnhout, 1960), p. 96):
And whatever he wills he can do: making dumb things to speak; he made Balaam's ass speak to him when he beat it; and a dog to say to Simon: 'You are called for by Peter!' For Paul when he preached, he caused mules 4 Reading 'muli' for 'multi' ('multi' is also a possible conjecture). to speak of him: he made a lion speak to the people with God‐given voice. Lastly, a thing which our nature does not permit—he made an infant five months old speak in public.The passage may refer to the Acts of Paul or to Nicephorus' account of the Ephesian lion (see later).
Echoes of these Acts are to be found in two manuscripts of the Greek New Testament, namely cursive 181p (of the eleventh century) and cursive 460 (of the thirteenth century). They make an addition at 2 Tim. 4: 19 seemingly from the Acts of Paul and Thecla. 181 alone makes a further addition (at 2 Tim. 3: 11 ) also from this source (see J. K. Elliott, The Greek Text of the Epistles to Timothy and Titus (Salt Lake City, 1968), ad. loc. (= Studies and Documents 36).
The Stichometry of Nicephorus calculates 3600 lines to the Acts of Paul (cf. 2800 for the canonical Acts). Much is unaccounted for by the extant remains. The following fragments exist:
Greek. Eleven papyrus leaves in a third–fourth century Hamburg manuscript (p. Hamb.); and p. Michigan 1317, p. Michigan 3788, and p. Berlin 13893 of the fourth century (these belong together and for the most part overlap with a portion of the Hamburg manuscript p. 8, as shown in the footnotes to my translation). p. Michigan 3788 contains some lines absent from the Hamburg fragment. These extra lines appear below in the translation and are indicated in the footnote accordingly. The lines agree with a folio (pp. 79–80 ) of the Heidelberg Coptic manuscript (see below), which C. Schmidt, the original editor, identified as coming from an apocryphal gospel and thus printed separately in Acta Pauli, pp. 55*–6*. A German translation appears in Acta Pauli, pp. 237–8, and there are English translations by B. Pick, Paralipomena: Remains of Gospels and Sayings of Christ (Chicago, 1908), pp. 54–6, and by James, ANT, pp. 31–2. Four further texts, two from Oxyrhynchus (p. Oxy. 6 and 1602, the latter overlapping with part of p. Hamb. p. 8), one papyrus from Antinoopolis, and the small Fackelmann fragment now in the Münster Bibelmuseum, also survive. Other, later, manuscripts were used by Lipsius–Bonnet (as indicated below for the separate sections).
Coptic. The fifth–sixth century Heidelberg manuscript (p. Heid.) contains extensive remains of the whole of the Acts of Paul. They were pieced together by C. Schmidt from 2000 fragments. A fourth‐century fragment in the Rylands library described by Crum has not yet been published: this seems to have belonged to the beginning of Acts. Kasser's unpublished Bodmer manuscript contains the Ephesus episode (see below).
For some time The Acts of Paul and Thecla, the Correspondence between Paul and the Corinthians (including the so‐called 3 Corinthians), and the Martyrdom of Paul have been well‐known, although it was not usually recognized that these three were originally to be found together in a larger work, the Acts of Paul.
(1) The Acts of Paul and Thecla
These acts tell the popular story of Thecla, a Greek girl who is converted by Paul's preaching. She breaks off her engagement and follows Paul as his assistant. She escapes persecutions and death in a miraculous way and finally retires to Seleucia. The cult of St Thecla became widespread in both East and West. The contents of this novel influenced Christian art and literature not least for its description of Paul. It is unlikely to be historical, despite mention of Queen Tryphaena of Pisidian Antioch, who is historically attested.
Lipsius–Bonnet based their edition on eleven Greek manuscripts, but over forty are now known to be extant. There are manuscripts of separate Latin translations that, according to von Gebhardt, represent an independent tradition. Syriac, Armenian, Slavonic, and perhaps Arabic 5 According to Lipsius–Bonnet, i, p. cii. versions also survive.
Since the publication of Lipsius–Bonnet's edition, parts of the text of the Acts of Paul and Thecla are to be found in P. Heid. (pp. 6–28), the Antinoopolis fragment, P. Oxy. 6, and the Fackelmann papyrus.
The popularity of the Acts of Paul and Thecla and of the Acts of Paul as a whole is shown in various later writings, not least in hagiographical literature, which encouraged the spread of the legend of St. Thecla. The separate circulation and the subsequent survival of the Acts of Paul and Thecla were also due to the veneration of Thecla, who was commemorated on 23 September (in the West) and on 24 September (in the East). The cult of Thecla seems to have reached a peak of popularity in the fifth century. Pseudo‐Chrysostom's Panegyric to Thecla seems to have been composed about this time (text in PG 50, cols. 745–8, and in M. Aubineau (ed.), 'Le Panégyrique de Thecle, attribué à Jean Chrysostome BHG 1720: la fin retrouvée d'un texte mutilé', Anal. Boll. 93 (1975), 349–62. 6 See D. R. MacDonald and A. D. Scrimgeour, 'Pseudo‐Chrysostom's Panegyric to Thecla: The Heroine of the Acts of Paul in Homily and Art', in D. R. MacDonald (ed.), The Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles (Decatur, Ga., 1986), 151–9 (= Semeia 38).
(2) 3 Corinthians
The Correspondence of Paul with the Corinthians contains the Corinthians' letter to Paul and Paul's reply to them. These letters were included in the Syriac collection of the Pauline epistles: at one time the Syriac (and the Armenian) churches regarded them as authentic Pauline letters.
Five Latin manuscripts (one dating from the third century) betray varying texts. The correspondence is also known from the Armenian Bible and from Ephraem's commentary. Recently a Greek text of the third century (being the language of the original) was discovered and is now known as Bodmer X, but is not to be treated as infallible: the later Latin often seems to have the better reading. P. Heid. (pp. 45–50, 41, 42, 44) also contains this section.
The Corinthian correspondence is likely to date from the second century and probably had a separate authorship and existence prior to its incorporation into the Acts of Paul. Its separate existence continued even after its incorporation into this larger work, as is evidenced by the Bodmer papyrus and by its inclusion as a separate entity in the Armenian Bible.
(3) The Martyrdom of Paul
This work deals with Paul's preaching and missionary work in Rome, the persecution by Nero, and the death of the apostle. The description of the death influenced Christian art. After his death Paul appears to the emperor and prophesies the judgement that will befall him. The work emphasizes the conflict between the soldiers of Christ the King and the cult of the emperor.
Lipsius–Bonnet's edition is based on two Greek manuscripts (which also contain the Acts of Peter), on a fragmentary Latin translation, and on Coptic, Slavonic, and Ethiopic versions. Vouaux added the Syriac edited by Nau. The Martyrdom also occurs in the Hamburg and Heidelberg manuscripts (P. Hamb. pp. 9–11; P. Heid. pp. 53–8).
As can be seen from the description above, P. Heid. contains elements of all these three sections, showing that originally all three belonged together in the Acts of Paul, and its finding thus confirmed the suspicions of those who had previously considered that the Acts of Paul and Thecla (and 3 Corinthians) had from an early date belonged with the Martyrdom of Paul to a larger work.
This manuscript also contains other parts of the original Acts including the following:
(a) A journey from Damascus to Jerusalem (probably corroborated in the Rylands fragment) (pp. 61, 62, and perhaps 60, 59=)
(b) Paul in Antioch (pp. 1–6)
(c) Paul in Myra (pp. 28–35)
(d) Paul in Sidon (pp. 35–9)
(e) Paul in Tyre (p. 40)
(f) Paul in Corinth (also found in P. Hamb.) (pp. 44, 43, 51, 52)
(g) Paul's speech in Puteoli (cf. the Michigan manuscript) (pp. 79–80)
P. Hamb., of c.300 in Greek, contains the following:
(a) Paul in Ephesus (also in the unpublished Bodmer manuscripts) (pp. 1–5)
(b) Paul in Corinth (also found in P. Heid.) (pp. 6–7) 7 Thus P. Hamb. or its Vorlage deliberately omits the Corinthian correspondence and records nothing of Paul in Philippi despite the words 'from Philippi to Corinth' on p. 6 (top)—i.e. the back of p. 5.
(c) Paul en route from Corinth to Italy (portions of this section also found in the Berlin, Oxyrhynchus 1602, and Michigan fragments, and in P. Heid. pp. 79–80) (pp. 7–8)
The sequence of Paul's travels can be reconstructed with a reasonable degree of confidence on the basis of the Heidelberg and Hamburg fragments. After journeys from Damascus to Jerusalem and then on to Antioch, Paul travels to Iconium where the famous Acts of Paul and Thecla is located. P. Heid. goes on to relate the acts of Paul in Myra, stating in its superscription that he set out for Myra from Antioch, and then leads into an episode in Sidon. Both these acts are incomplete, as is the next episode in Tyre, which is known from P. Heid. p. 40, though hardly anything of this scene survives. Schmidt printed the fragments numbered pp. 64, 63, 70, 69, 68, 67, 66, 65, 61, 62, 60, 59 at this point, and James followed this, but so little is decipherable on these pages that there is no certainty that they did in fact belong here; they are ignored in the present volume.
There is in any case a gap in the story at this juncture, and it is disputed at which point P. Heid. should be resumed. James decided that what came next was the episode of Longinus and Firmilla's daughter, Frontina, followed by the correspondence between Paul and the Corinthians, and then by an episode in Ephesus. Hennecke–Schneemelcher argued that the Ephesus episode should follow the act in Tyre. In the present work also it was decided that the unpublished Coptic text of the papyrus announced by Kasser and the first five pages of P. Hamb., which tell of events in Ephesus (following a visit to Smyrna), belong here after the episode in Tyre. James, who was unaware of either of these texts, printed his episode of the lion in Ephesus on the evidence of (a) Nicephorus, Ecclesiastical History 2. 25 (PG 145, col. 822)—which is possibly fourteenth‐century although based on a tenth‐century ancestor—with some support from the Acts of Titus by Pseudo‐Zenas, which is dependent on the Acts of Paul, and (b) Hippolytus, Commentary on Daniel 3. 29 of the third century (ed. G. N. Bonwetsch, GCS 1.1 (Leipzig, 1897), p. 176). Both of these sources show the popularity of the lion story. (It is also to be found in Ethiopic literature in the Letter of Pelagia—see bibliography below under 'Ethiopic'.) The reference in Hippolytus, vouches for the early date of the story; Nicephorus shows its source to be the Acts of Paul. James' judgement in ANT (pp. 291–2 Cf. Matt. 9: 34; 12: 24, 27; Mark 3: 22; Luke 11: 15, 19 . ) that an episode in Ephesus belonged to the original Acts of Paul has thus been vindicated by later manuscript discoveries.
Hennecke–Schneemelcher's text then gives the correspondence with the Corinthians which is to be found in P. Heid. pp. 45–50 and in Armenian, Latin, Greek, and Syriac. This edition again deviates from James's sequence by following this correspondence with the Frontina episode. The correspondence places the episode in Philippi (3 Cor. 2: 1 states that the letter was brought to Paul, in prison, in Philippi). There is a gap in P. Heid. between the Corinthian correspondence and the conclusion of the Philippi episode, and thus it is uncertain where Schmidt's pp. 41–2, 44 (telling of the Frontina episode) belong. Hennecke–Schneemelcher's sequence is adopted here.
In the middle of Schmidt's p. 44 a new episode begins, which indicates a move from Philippi to Corinth; P. Hamb. is clear that the following episode takes place in Corinth. (P. Hamb. jumps from the episode in Ephesus straight to the incident in Corinth.) The next journey takes Paul from Corinth to Italy; the text is found in the Hamburg, Berlin, Oxyrhynchus 1602, and Michigan manuscripts. The two Michigan texts also overlap with P. Hamb. p. 8 and with P. Heid. pp. 79–80 (identified by Schmidt as coming from an apocryphal gospel (see above, p. 352) and accepted as such by James who provided a translation ( ANT pp. 31–2 ) under the running title 'Fragments of Gospels'). P. Mich 3788 (= 1317) now anchors that leaf to a portion of the Acts of Paul. It also helps to fill the gap that is apparent between P. Hamb. p. 8 and p. 9 (p. 9 begins the Martyrdom). The final episode (in Rome) is also found in various versions and often circulated as a separate text.
I summarize here the contents of my translation and their manuscript attestation:
1. From Damascus to Jerusalem
P. Ryl.; P. Heid. pp. 60–59, 61–2. 8 Schmidt changed his mind after the original publication. See his ΠΡΑΞΈΙΣ ΠΑΛΟ, p. 118.
2. Antioch
P. Heid. pp. 1–6.
3. Iconium(The Acts of Paul and Thecla)
Lipsius–Bonnet; P. Heid. pp. 6–28; P. Oxy. 6; P. Antinoopolis; P. Fackelmann.
4. Myra
P. Heid. pp. 28–35 (one page missing after p. 30 (not indicated by Schmidt); one page missing after p. 34).
5. Sidon
P. Heid. pp. 35–9 (two pages at least missing after p. 36; two pages at least missing after p. 38).
6. Tyre
P. Heid. p. 40 (James adds fragments pp. 64, 63, 70, 69, 68, 67, 66, 65 and (following Schmidt's original positioning 8 Schmidt changed his mind after the original publication. See his ΠΡΑΞΈΙΣ ΠΑΛΟ, p. 118. ) pp. 61, 62, 60, 59).
7. Ephesus
P. Hamb. pp. 1–5 (and a summary of the unpublished Coptic fragment).
8. Philippi (and text of 3 Corinthians)
P. Heid. pp. 45–50, 41, 42, 44a; P. Bod. X.
9. Corinth
P. Heid. pp. 44b–3, 51–2; P. Hamb. pp. 6–7.
10. Corinth to Italy
P. Hamb. pp. 7–8; P. Berlin 13893; P. Oxy. 1602; P. Michigan 1317, 3788; P. Heid. pp. 79–80 (and possibly fragments pp. 71–4).
11. Martyrdom
Lipsius–Bonnet; P. Hamb. pp. 9–11; P. Heid. pp. 53–8.
(Unplaced fragments = P. Heid. pp. 75–8).
The work uses the conventions of contemporary preaching. Although not a theological treatise it is concerned to promote a simple faith (in contrast to Gnostic systems) and to encourage sexual continence. The main motive for its composition seems to have been to set already existing legends about Paul (some possibly oral) in sequence, as an act of devotion to his memory.
In contrast with the canonical Acts, Paul here undertakes one continuous missionary journey; the Christian communities were already in existence, and he is not founding new churches. It may well be that the author of the Acts of Paul was not familiar with the details of the canonical Acts. However, the popularity of Paul was doubtless enhanced by the canonical letters, including the Pastoral Epistles, that were written by him (or in his name) and by the circulation of the canonical Acts. The popularity bred the legends that were then included in the Acts of Paul.
The majority of scholars date the book at the end of the second century (a date confirmed if Tertullian was referring to the Acts of Paul). The provenance is likely to have been Asia Minor.

As Google's I/O developer event approaches, details about a new unified messaging service linking all of Google's platforms have been emerging through internal developer conversations, brief glimpses behind the curtain provided by error messages, and flat-out leaks. The new service, called Babel, will tie together Google Talk, Hangout, Google Plus' Messenger, and other disparate communications tools within Google services spanning its Web and mobile applications, allowing them to be accessed from multiple locations and stored in users' Gmail inbox—at least based on the clues uncovered thus far.
Geek.com first published information about the service in March, calling it "Babble." It has been discussed in developer forums, including the ChromeOS "Chromium-bugs" discussion group. And the UK tech website Techradar released screenshots of Babel allegedly supplied by a Google employee. The screenshots include a host of graphic emoticons available in chat. An alert message revealed by one Google Plus user also showed that Babel has already infiltrated the services of at least a few users.
Aside from universal access to messages across apps, the Babel infrastructure apparently includes a new conversation-based interface for Google's various chat tools and the ability to embed pictures in chat. It will also improve notifications across ChromeOS, Android, and iOS applications. It's not yet clear how the service would integrate into Google Voice.

Surface finish for nonvitreous wall tiles
The easy-care ceramicplus finish was developed in the Villeroy & Boch laboratories according to the latest findings from the field of materials research.
Ceramicplus provides the ceramic surface with a permanent finish by means of a special process. On nonvitreous wall tiles treated in this way, dirt particles are virtually unable to obtain a hold and flow off with water droplets.
Water and a soft cloth are all that's needed for routi-ne cleaning. Mild, environment-friendly cleaning agents are sufficient to remove more stubborn dirt – no need for aggressive detergents.
The highly effective and sustained hygienic properties of ceramicplus have been confirmed by means of extensive testing carried out at independent external testing institutes, such as the Institut für Medizinische Mikrobiologie und Hygiene at the University of Lübeck. Institutes such as the Fresenius Institut in Taunus-stein have further con-firmed that ceramicplus does not pose any health or environmental risks.
