		Hey all, just wanted to make sure everyone saw that Schedules Direct is now out of beta testing and fully open for anyone who wants to sign up.
		With the release of 0.20.2 the other day, switching your Myth config over from using Zap2It labs for data is fairly easy.
		Please see this mailing list posting from Bruce for a short set of instructions - but it mainly just boils down to running mythtv-setup, changing the existing listings grabber to Schedules Direct, and putting in your new username + password (assuming you kept the same lineup config as on the old Labs website).

	Mythology
		In this document the word "myth" will be defined as a story of forgotten or vague origin, basically religious or supernatural in nature, which seeks to explain or rationalize one or more aspects of the world or a society.
		A myth is also distinctly different from an allegory or parable which is a story deliberately made up to illustrate some moral point but which has never been assumed to be true by anyone.
		Broadly speaking myths and mythologies seek to rationalize and explain the universe and all that is in it.

	Myth (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Myth II is by far the most popular game in the series (though Myth had better sales during its launch and first few years of life).
		The Myth series is set in a fantasy world that was inspired in many ways by Glen Cook's Black Company novels, as it is narrated via a common soldier's journal that tells the tale of life itself coming under attack by an undead horde and its masters, the Fallen Lords.
		Development of the Myth Series was halted by Bungie, but fan groups have been given access to the source code and have taken it upon themselves to keep the series up to date.

	Myth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In these academic fields, a myth (mythos) is a sacred story concerning the origins of the world or how the world and the creatures in it came to have their present form.
		In saying that a myth is a sacred narrative, what is meant is that a myth is believed to be true by people who attach religious or spiritual significance to it.
		Urban myth is an alternate (not academic) term for urban legend

	Wikinfo \| Myth (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A myth is a sacred narrative, often thought to be a lesson in story form which has deep explanatory or symbolic resonance for cultures, who preserve and cherish the wisdom of their elders through oral traditions by the use of skilled story tellers.
		In sociology, however, a myth may be historical or fictional without altering its nature as myth, because the power of myth lies in the meaning and broader truth it conveys, rather than the historicity of the story.
		The term "myth" is sometimes used pejoratively in reference to common beliefs of a culture or for the beliefs of a religion to imply that the story is both fanciful and fictional.

	MYTH
		Myth is an expression of the sacred in words: it reports realities and events from the origin of the world that remain valid for the basis and purpose of all there is. Consequently, a myth functions as a model for human activity, society, wisdom, and knowledge.
		For example, myths told and acted out in ritual reinforce the value that humans are at the center of an orderly, created world, or the value that despite being a unified whole society is a complex hierarchy and all of its members have their own particular duties and responsibilities.
		Myths thus are utterly mundane and assigning them an “extraordinary” status as a precondition for studying them rightly is to begin our study with a mistake that deflects us from a more interesting and productive scholarly aim: undertaking the difficult study of the mechanisms whereby societies create the extraordinary from the everyday.

	Myth - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Myths are often at the core of religious belief systems; notable examples are the religions of ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, also Scientology.
		Sigmund Freud suggested that myths are invented when a person's supressed sexual urges, specifically the urges that are directed towards imaginary friends, are the reason people create myths.
		Myths usually contain a grain of truth at their core (YEAH RIGHT!), and these grains are believed to be the origin of the myths (or their parents, or grandparents.

	Myth Quotes \| Myth Quotations \| Myth Sayings \| Wisdom Quotes
		Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.
		It is a myth, not a mandate, a fable not a logic, and symbol rather than a reason by which men are moved.
		As a rule the myth is no explanation of the origin of the ritual to any one who does not believe it to be a narrative of real occurrences, and the boldest mythologist will not believe that.

	The UVic Writer's Guide: Myth (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In modern literary theory, myths have been viewed as formulas embodying universal human experiences and ideas, or archetypes.
		Northrop Frye argues, in the Anatomy of Criticism (1957), that there are four main narrative genres: comedy, romance, tragedy, and irony (satire); these genres may be considered modes of the elemental myths associated with the cycle of birth and death in nature--spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
		The term "myth" has various other uses in modern usage, for instance denoting a falsehood widely believed ("the myth of progress") or the imaginary realm of a literary work ("the mythical world of romance").

		I think the success of the Myth franchise bore out that Jones' call was the right one; the focus on battlefield tactics over resource management made Myth much more of a chess-like game; simultaneously far more accessible to the average gamer, and yet tactically even deeper than some games with advanced resource management aspects.
		PMA Blades at PlayMyth.net has put up a thoughtful piece on the future of the Myth franchise, looking forward to PlayMyth's fourth anniversary coming up near the end of this month, and the ten year anniversary of Myth: The Fallen Lords next year-- hopefully to be marked by a tournament.
		If you haven't played Myth before, you're missing out on a big part of the Bungie Experience (despite the fact that they don't own the franchise anymore) which is a lot more than cyborgs and AI constructs.

	Use Ten Percent % of Brain Myth (Skeptical Inquirer March 1999)
		But the myth implies that the "used" part of the brain is a discrete area, and the "unused" part is like an appendix or tonsil, taking up space but essentially unnecessary.
		Part of the reason for the long life of the myth is that if one variant can be proven incorrect, the person who held the belief can simply shift the reason for his belief to another basis, while the belief itself stays intact.
		The most powerful lure of the myth is probably the idea that we might develop psychic abilities, or at least gain a leg up on the competition by improving our memory or concentration.

	NORML's Marijuana Health Mythology - NORML
		Any discussion of marijuana should begin with the fact that there have been numerous official reports and studies, every one of which has concluded that marijuana poses no great risk to society and should not be criminalized.
		Contrary to popular myth, greater potency is not necessarily more dangerous, due to the fact that users tend to adjust (or "self-titrate") their dose according to potency.
		Government experts now admit that pot doesn't kill brain cells.1 This myth came from a handful of animal experiments in which structural changes (not actual cell death, as is often alleged) were observed in brain cells of animals exposed to high doses of pot.

		Much of The Myth is set against true Qin Dynasty lore, and while a sense of pageantry may be missing, Tong and Chan do get the most out of their Ancient China settings.

	myth - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		A popular belief or story that has become associated with a person, institution, or occurrence, especially one considered to illustrate a cultural ideal: a star whose fame turned her into a myth; the pioneer myth of suburbia.
		Myths are "stories about divine beings, generally arranged in a coherent system; they are revered as true and sacred; they are endorsed by rulers and priests; and closely linked to religion.
		Once this link is broken, and the actors in the story are not regarded as gods but as human heroes, giants or fairies, it is no longer a myth but a folktale.
