...that setup is beginning to pose a challenge for the leaders of the church. Like other Americans, Mormon men and women are marrying later. "This tendency to postpone adult responsibilities ... is surely visible among our LDS young adults," said Dallin Oaks, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, one of the highest levels in the LDS hierarchy, in a speech earlier this year. "The average age at marriage has increased in the last few decades, and the number of children born to LDS married couples has decreased." While the church says it does not keep age statistics...

...Using a DVD of Constantine (surprisingly watchable, by the way), I compared the YSP-800 to a mid-priced surround-sound setup with Acoustic Research speakers powered by Pioneer's VSX-72TXV receiver (more on the Pioneer receiver in the coming weeks).
