Certainly Jesus ate fish and bread with His friends, He was there for the sole purpose toto reveal to His friends, that He had rose from the dead that he was flesh and blood just as He was before His death. Should He have returned in any other way, how were His friends to understand it was Him? I dont believe Jesus walked through the door of the closed room, He just was there.Joh 20:17 Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.' Did Mary see the flesh body of Jesus? I say yes, but He was not yet touchable, as He was with Thomas.I believe it is time that we begin to reason and find understanding in what the substance of spirit is. I believe Spirit, is more substance, that the natural and physical we get our adam minds around today. I am sure I make little sense, even to myself.
I dont believe Jesus walked through the door of the closed room, He just was there
So you believe that Jesus can't hide himself, you believe that men can discern the spiritual easily?Thing is that the Scriptures tells me that Christ lives inside me and honestly I don't feel it very often.
King James BibleWhich also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.Does Jesus still have His physical body?
"There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. "Are those two bodies, though, one in the same?With authority of the Father, He laid down His life and picked it up. Jesus appeared in the upper room (laid it "down") and disappeared from view (picked it "up" again).His physical body has been transfigured into something new and no is longer contained by the physical constants of time, distance or space.Transcendent.We have never been this way before so He went first to prepare the way.
It does not read as though His presence was merely a spiritual apparition.He ate fish.

This graduate of Jonesco Academy, arriving on July 17, will have two local pre-release book signings. Her first novel, Just Another Run of the Mill Day, is a memoir. It details hardship in her family over events with both of her sons, one having a "catastrophic health crisis," and his younger brother struggling with "self destructive behaviors."
Atkinson said the reality of the story was essential.
"I felt that if I was open and honest about our family problems and situations, readers could more readily identify with our story and be able to relate to struggles that we have as humans. I also wanted to show that sometimes, even at our lowest points in life, we can still find humor and hope."
Now living in Pennsylvania, Atkinson had to make an adjustment as she moved to the North. When the family resettled because of her husband's job, she admits she had to get used to certain changes, like real winters where she has to shovel more than a dusting of snow.

Mum Entrepreneurs reviewing Wannabees PlaycentreBy diana658 on 14/09/2012 3:24:56 PM
Together with my son of 4.5yrs and daughter of 2.5yrs we went to check out Wannabees and we LOVED IT! So many different options and then the special "shows" that were put on e.g. an actual "fire" where the kids could use a real fire hose and hose down the "fire", a fashion show where the kids had the opportunity to dress up and put some make-up on, appearances by Bob the B (...)

Wannabees ReviewBy Michelle on 12/04/2012 11:20:17 AM
I would recommend Wannabees as an alternative to your standard indoor play centres. The facility is excellent and staff friendly. What I like about it is it requires the kids to use their imagination and do some good old fashioned play - role playing etc. There is also your traditional climbing playground but I love that there is more to it than that.

Jerrod is a regular around some of LA's favorite standup shows, including Meltdown, The Improv, Laugh Factory and many alternative rooms.
Comedian Jerrod Carmichael is getting his very first standup special, and it's going to be a big one: an hour-long special for HBO. The untitled special will be taped May 7th, 2014 at The Comedy Store, and it will air later this year. Carmichael's HBO hour is being produced by Funny Or Die and directed by Spike Lee. This will be only the second standup special Spike Lee has directed, following the 2000 standup concert film The Original Kings of Comedy.
In an interview with us back in 2012, Carmichael discussed plans to do a special:
"I have an idea [for a special]. I think it's a good idea. It's very specific to me … If you do a special, you want to do it not just to do a special. You want to do it because you have something to say, and you think it can be impactful. So, what I want to say is coming out more, and I'm excited about that."
It's very rare for HBO to give an hour special to a comedian as new as Carmichael, who, although he's been doing standup since 2008, has never done a set on TV. Most comedians start with late night spots or a half-hour Comedy Central special, so Carmichael getting an hour on HBO, which is a prestigious and sought-after gig in the industry, as his first televised performance says a lot about how much faith HBO has in him.Carmichael, who ranked first in a 2013 poll we conducted amongst LA bookers and hosts to determine their favorite up and coming standups, has appeared on Fox's The Goodwin Games, the upcoming movie Neighbors, and created and starred in a sitcom pilot that's currently in development at NBC.

PIKEVILLE — Two days after officially filing to run for office, the Tea Party challenger to U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell will meet voters during a stop in Pikeville.
Matt Bevin, a businessman, Army veteran and father of nine who was courted to run for Senate by Tea Party activists in Louisville, filed paperwork Wednesday to challenge McConnell and immediately began running campaign ads on television and the Internet. The ads portray Bevin as a true conservative, compared to McConnell, who the challenger's campaign accuses of voting for "higher taxes, bailouts, debt ceiling increases, congressional pay raises, and liberal judges."
McConnell has wasted no time in countering Bevin, releasing his own ad labeling the challenger as "Bailout Bevin" and accusing Bevin's companies of accepting $200,000 in bailouts, while at the same time not paying taxes. The bailout to which the McConnell camp is referring includes a $100,000 grant from the state of Connecticut to help rebuild an iconic bell factory owned by the Bevin family, after a fire destroyed business last year.
"Matthew Griswold Bevin is not a Kentucky conservative, he is merely an East Coast con man," McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton said Friday. "While it is sad to see someone who claims to be a Republican doing Barack Obama's bidding, his campaign is nothing more than a nuisance. Mitch McConnell will never waiver in his fight for our Kentucky values."
But Bevin picked up some unlikely support following McConnell's charges. Jonathan Hurst, a campaign advisor to Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for McConnell's seat, said the attacks from the senator's campaign show why he should not be re-elected.
"The people of Kentucky are frustrated by Mitch McConnell's lack of leadership, so it should be no surprise that he's turned to bullying members of his own party," Hurst said in a prepared statement released by the Grimes campaign. "This is simply the latest in McConnell's political games and demonstrates just how out of touch he is with Kentucky families."
But Hurst also seized the opportunity to make a pitch for his own candidate: "Meanwhile, all across the Commonwealth, Kentuckians are uniting around our campaign because they recognize Alison will stand up for Kentucky."
For his part, Bevin said the McConnell attacks were misleading and mud-slinging.
"The 2014 U.S. Senate race has barely begun and already it's the same old Mitch McConnell with nothing but smear tactics and misleading the public about his opponents," Bevin said in a press release.
Bevin will make his first Eastern Kentucky campaign stop Friday, in Pikeville, before heading to Somerset later in the day. He will appear at the Landmark Inn at 10:30 a.m. for a "meet-and-greet town hall and press conference." The event is open to the public and a continental breakfast will be served.
For now, Bevin's campaign faces an uphill climb in the race. A poll released Thursday by Wenzel Strategies, out of Columbus, Ohio, shows McConnell with a firm early lead over Bevin, 58.9 percent to 19.9 percent. The poll also shows McConnell having a tougher time in a general election matchup with Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, who officially filed her candidacy July 16.
However, Bevin, a successful hedge fund manager who can draw from his own wealth to finance his campaign, could get some high-powered help. The Washington Post reported Wednesday that two influential conservative political action committees — the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Club for Growth — are open to supporting Bevin, but are taking a wait-and-see approach to determine if he has a legitimate shot at knocking off the five-term Senate majority leader.

Part two
of a series:
This is the second of a three- part series on crimes against children.
In part one, law enforcement officials from Whitley County as well as from state and federal agencies discussed the ongoing challenge of keeping America's youth safe from the ever-present threat of child predators.
In parts two and three, The Post & Mail talks to the heartbroken parents of a murdered girl whose life was taken earlier this year.
RIDINGER LAKE — Jason Doggendorf of rural western Whitley County awoke with a start March 18, startled by the sounds of his panicking wife, Linbeth.
"She (Linbeth) woke up that morning and I basically got woke up to the sound of her screaming Kaylin's name," remembers Doggendorf.
The couple's 14-year-old daughter Kaylin was missing from her bedroom.
Unbeknownst to the Doggendorfs, their teenaged daughter was not OK.
Police say 17-year-old Joshua M. Wright snuck into the Doggendorf house through the basement.
She would later be found raped and murdered in Kosciusko County.
Not sure what happened to Kaylin, the Doggendorfs waited several hours before calling the police, waiting until school started "in case she showed up there," said Linbeth Doggendorf.
For nearly two agonizing days, the couple felt the deep pang of uncertainty.
Investigators on the scene treated Kaylin as a runaway.
"As far as the police were concerned, they were classifying her as missing," said Jason.
Linbeth agreed.
"They were very professional, they were very much ... well, they didn't want to look at the worst of it either. That's why they treated her as missing/runaway and not as anything else," she said.
Jason said police tried to give their daughter a break in the event she was displaying typical teen-aged angst.
"The responding officer, when he came out there, he was hesitant to fill out the paperwork because as soon as he filled out the paperwork and filed it, she's in the system, she's going to have to go to court, end up on probation, stuff like that. He didn't want that to happen," said Jason.
Instead, the responding officer took the worried father around to a few places in Kosciusko County to look for the missing girl. "He wanted to find her too," said Jason.
As it turned out, a day in court was not in the cards for Kaylin, who was in the 8th-grade at Whitko Middle School.
Appearing before a judge in the Whitley County Courthouse instead is the fate of Kaylin's accused killer, Wright, who is scheduled for trial Jan. 25.
Police said Wright raped and murdered the girl not long after abducting her from the Doggendorf home.
Days after the murder, Wright admitted to killing Kaylin Doggendorf to television reporters outside the courthouse. He also led police to the girl's body.
Psychological evaluations are being conducted on Wright.
When the news of the worst-case scenario was finally delivered to the Doggendorfs, the two were each buffered by friends and families
"He (Jason) was at home and had a friend or two with him and I was at one of her (Kaylin's) best friends, at their house," remembered Linbeth.
"I got sick to my stomach when I found out," she said. "I was so grateful that I was there with all those friends when I found out, instead of alone by myself. I couldn't have picked a better place to be because without our friends and our family, we couldn't do this."
The Doggendorfs caution parents to never take anything for granted.
As they remained diligent to know as much about their daughter's circle of friends as any parent can, they say Wright was on the periphery.
"Anywhere she went, we knew who she was with and we knew, in the larger group, the guys' names," said Linbeth. "We had never heard his name mentioned, which means she could not have considered him anything more than an acquaintance."
The Doggendorfs had met their daughter's accused killer, however.
"We'd only met him once before, and that was at a choir concert a week earlier," remembered Linbeth. "She met him through a friend that she spends the night with. They (the family of Kaylin's friend) knew him better and the grandma didn't like him that much, but not enough to say he couldn't come around. But the more we learn, the more we find out, there were red flags all over the place."
The Doggendorfs further assert that Kaylin would probably not have allowed Wright into her inner circle of friends anyway.
"She'd always been a good judge of character," said Linbeth. "If she likes somebody, there's a reason why, they're a good person. If she doesn't like 'em, she pretty much hits the nail on the head."
"As the trial of their daughter's accused killer nears, the Doggendorfs can't help but hope things don't go well for Wright.
"She (Linbeth) was very withdrawn (after Kaylin's death) and I will admit my first response was I wanted to strangle him," said Jason.
"I talked him out of it," responded Linbeth. "Killing him (Wright) would not be justice for Kaylin.
"Justice for Kaylin would be to see him (Wright) suffer as much, if not more than what he did to her.
"We know he will not have a nice time in prison.

'The Voice' winner Danielle Bradbery bringing 'Heart of Dixie' to ToledoWritten by John Benson | | firstname.lastname@example.com
To say Danielle Bradbery was a long shot to win season four of "The Voice" is an understatement.
The shy teenage singer, without any vocal lessons or stage experience, not only turned the chairs of judges Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Usher last spring but also wowed audiences.
Despite feeling overwhelmed at first, there was a moment when the Texas native discovered her self-confidence and never looked back.
"I was so scared, I went into it not really knowing at all what was going to happen," said Bradbery, calling from Nashville, Tenn. "I was just waiting for something to happen. It was amazing. I think throughout the whole thing there were big steps every time I stepped on 'The Voice' stage.
"The live shows were kind of when I started to see a lot of difference in myself. A lot of things I did I thought I couldn't do. I learned a lot about myself at that point. The things that I could do were really surprising."
Invariably, the past year for Bradbery has been one surprise after another. Not only was she the youngest person every to win "The Voice," but her self-titled debut album featured the Top 20 lead single, "The Heart of Dixie," which has sold more than 360,000 downloads.
She toured last summer with Shelton followed by a winter run with Brad Paisley. Now the 17-year-old artist is joining Hunter Hayes' We're Not Invisible Tour, which comes to Toledo for a March 28 show at the Huntington Center.
"It's going to be so exciting," Bradbery said. "People know I performed with him on 'The Voice' during the live shows. That was so much fun. I'm really curious to see this audience."
Bradbery has seen plenty of high-profile audiences of late. Not only did she get to sing the national anthem at the Houston Rodeo but she recently met Carrie Underwood. And no, she didn't cry.
"I wanted to," Bradbery said, laughing. "I got emotional, but I didn't let out any tears. I was more excited than anything just thinking to myself I finally got to be face to face with her knowing how much I look up to her. It was a great moment."
When it's pointed out that Bradbery's recent success means there are likely thousands of girls who now look at her as a role model, she admitted it's an amazing feeling. Looking ahead, Bradbery knows sustained success isn't guaranteed and fame can be fleeting. Considering how far she's some in such a short while, she seems up for the task.
"Nothing is always going to be easy," Bradbery said. "You have to work hard to get something you want, and you'll have bumps along the road. For me, I just need to stay true to who I am, and just have friends and family around me to keep me grounded. As long as I have that, I'll be OK through it all."

"We still have a lot of work to do, but the players did what it took on the field to come out on top," said Lawson.
The offensive highlights for the game included four touchdowns by Drake Bolus with Adrian Hardwick and Kyle Lumley adding one touchdown a piece. They were led by Dustin Hostetter and Ty Gordon at the quarterback position.
On the defensive end, Coleman Roberts, Trey Poore, Cameron Douberly, Kenny Hunter, and Courlin Williams worked hard to keep Crawford County to only 6 points. The Gray Station Hounds will host Peach County next week at JCHS at 5 p.m..
Lawson encourages community support of student athletes.
"On behalf of Gray Station administration, faculty, and staff, we would like to invite you, the public, to come out to support our student athletes," he said. "In season at this time is cross country, softball, cheerleading, and football. Take some time to enjoy watching our young athletes compete."

JOHNSTON — Fourth down.
It's something that teams try to avoid.
On Friday night, it was the difference between Strom Thurmond and Hartsville.
In the first half, it looked like all of the breaks were going the Rebels' way. In the second quarter on fourth and goal at the 8-yard line, the Rebels turned the Red Foxes away. A second attempt came just a few plays later, this time from the 9-yard line. It yielded the same result.
Both times, the Red Foxes tried to pass on the "Blue Steel" defense, and both times they were unable to connect, the first being a pass that was heaved out of bounds, and the second featured a great deflection by Demetrius Leysath.
"We came here to try and win the game, and I wasn't about to swap 3s with Strom Thurmond," Hartsville head coach Jeff Calabrese said. "They score 46 points a game, and I felt like, even though it was tough sledding, we needed to take a shot. We have great players of our own, and we wanted to put it in their hands to try and score seven points. Now it didn't work, and luckily, we won because I'd look like a big old idiot if we didn't."
The Rebels were able to turn the second stop into opportunity, scoring the game's first points on a 7-minute drive that encompassed 15 plays and 95 yards with Jauveer Hammond capping it off.
To end the half, the Rebels once again stopped the Red Foxes, this time on the 17-yard line on a fourth-and-8. Three separate trips to the red zone, and Hartsville had nothing to show for it.
"There were lots of fourth-down stops in the first half. That was big; it kept us with the lead. We showed a lot of heart," Strom Thurmond head coach Lee Sawyer said.
Later in the game, in a reversal of fortune, the Rebels found themselves going for it on fourth down. With 4 yards separating them from the goal, the Rebels had a bobbled snap where Jauveer Hammond had to fall on the ball. Another score at that moment could have sealed the game, but it left the door open for the Red Foxes, who marched 96 yards to take the lead.
Of course, that drive had a pivotal fourth down of its own. With 5:23 remaining, the Red Foxes were faced with a fourth-and-3 on their own 47-yard line. After a timeout and with the clock looming large, Trey Samuel rushed 19 yards down the sideline to put the visitors in business.
"We looked a little passive on the slot back," Sawyer said.
Across the field, Sawyer's counterpart knew that single rush turned the tides of a game that the Rebels had led since the second.
"We knew we had to be aggressive at any little thing to win this game," Calabrese said. "At halftime, we told the kids that Strom Thurmond was a good football team. We told them that before we got here, but we needed someone to make some plays. We felt like in the first half that Strom Thurmond made the plays. Our defense was phenomenal at coming up with that stop, and on offense they stuffed us all night, but we were able to find something there at the end."

Come on, do you really think we (Opera) started working on this new beta after the iPhone details were announced?
Stop spreading propaganda.
We've been working on this new beta for many months already, way before the browser details of the iPhone were made public.
Opera Mini 4 Copies Safari for iPhone
Developers at Opera appear to be suffering iPhone envy. Today the company rolled out a public beta of its Opera Mini 4 browser, designed for Java enabled phones, which rips off features first unveiled on iPhone's Safari browser. Opera Mini 4 sports Safari's impressive zoom feature that enables users to see a large thumbnail image of a web page, and navigate or zoom to specific sections of the page by tapping in that location.
I've used Opera Mini on my Treo and frankly it stinks. So does the Treo for that matter, but that's another topic. The browser is very poorly optimized and lacks elegance and integration of a native application environment. Opera's mobile browser for Windows Mobile is a much better overall solution, but still lacks refinement. Keep trying, Opera. You'll get it right - eventually.

Opera Mini 4 Copies Safari for iPhone
Come on, do you really think we (Opera) started working on this new beta after the iPhone details were announced?
SAFARI'S zoom feature?
You "conveniently" forget that not only has Nokia been doing this for ages with their new Webkit based mobile browser.
You also ignore well known devices with similar zoom and pan capabilities, such as the DS browser, and Nintendo's Internet Channel.
Funny how you claim that Tommy has very little experience with mobile web browsers, seeing as you didn't even know that Nokia and Nintendo (actually, Opera made the Nintendo browsers) have done this for ages already :D
Uh, apparently you have reading comprehension issues because you ignored or overlooked my comment above where I specifically mentioned Nokia's WebKit browser, which by the way I'm quite familiar with - until recently I owned a Nokia E61.
As for Nintendo...I don't play with gaming handhelds, so that's not exactly something I ashamed to be ignorant of. A toy running a toy browser. Sounds like a perfect match.
Ooh, sour grapes for being exposed as lacking any knowledge what so ever about the market :D Funny how you can claim that Opera ripped off Apple when you claim to have been aware that Nokia did it long before Apple did! And yes, Nokia did the development of their minimap feature, not Apple.
But anyway, a toy browser. Sure. A toy browser which had been doing full web browsing for many years by the time Steve-o got around to bragging about it :D
Anyway, the bottom line is that you screwed yourself. You thought Opera ripped off Apple when it turns out that it is Apple who is ripping off Opera and others, and bragging about it. Sorry to see your world crumble around you, but "c'est la vie"!
You might want to give the Wii console a go some time. It's amazingly popular and outselling everything else except Nintendo's own DS portable. People of all ages get these consoles. Toys or not, who cares? Only immature teenagers keep referring to them as that.

Lorusso Leads Hawks In Defeat

HAMBURG, NY – Sarah Lorusso's 8 first half points led Hilbert College in a 25-23 half time advantage against Pitt-Greensburg in women's basketball December 10. The Hawks beat the Bobcats in every category for 20 minutes but 20 minutes does not make a full basketball game. Led by Casey Stanton's 25 points/12 rebounds effort Greensburg (3-6, 2-2) captured their second AMCC victory in the 62-43 win.
Stanton opened the game's scoring with a long three but she was immediately matched by a behind-the-arc make by Hilbert's Julie Bossard. Slowly, Greensburg built a nine point cushion (14-5), but Hilbert did not give up on defense and they continued to attack on offense. Tiana Cheasman tied the game with a driving layup just before Bossard's two made free throws gave the home team their first lead at 3:49. Lorusso then sank a layup and made the following free throw to end play.
After intermission, each team traded baskets for almost seven minutes. At 12:09 on the clock, Courtney DiBridge started a Bobcat 20-0 run to seal the game. Bossard's two free throws ended the run at 4:34.
Bossard finished with 9 points and 6 rebounds (3 steals) with Amber Grosch and Cheasman each netted 8 points in the loss. Greensburg's Lexi Elliott (13) and Hannah Falcsik (12) each broke into double digits.
The Hilbert women's basketball team (0-9, 0-3) takes a break for the holiday season. The Hawks return to action January 4, 2012 when they host cross town rival Medaille College at 8pm.

Democrats were successful in winning Virginia for President Barack Obama and Sen.-elect Tim Kaine on Tuesday, but that means little for next year's statewide elections for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, according to political experts.
Virginia has a well-established history of electing a governor of the opposite party of the person the state backed for president, said Kyle Kondik of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.
In 2009, just one year after the state backed Obama for his first term, Virginians gave Republican Bob McDonnell a resounding win in his bid for governor. Similarly, Virginia had two Democratic governors during the terms of President George W. Bush.
Another factor favoring Republicans is that the electorate is very different in non-presidential election years, said Jeremy Mayer, an associate professor of public policy at George Mason University.
"What we see is Virginia having a trendline on state elections that is different from the national elections," Mayer said.
Turnout is lower in non-presidential election years, and the makeup of the electorate is different, Kondik and Mayer said.
"It's an apples and oranges comparison," Kondik said. "What we see is almost like two different states voting."
Republican voters are more reliable in terms of turning out for off-year elections, Mayer said, and the younger and lower income voters who helped sweep Obama into office are generally less motivated to turn out for off-year elections.
However, who the candidates are will also make a big difference.
If the popular former Democratic governor Mark Warner were to leave his Senate seat to run for another term as governor, he would likely win, Kondik said. Warner is rumored to be considering such a move.
A May poll by Public Policy Polling found that Warner would likely defeat any of the potential Republican candidates.
If Republicans nominate Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli as their candidate for governor, his conservative positions on social issues could make it harder for the party to win over more moderate voters, Mayer said.
Cuccinelli, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and winery owner and reality TV personality Tareq Salahi are seeking the Republican nomination.
On the Democratic side, party activist Terry McAuliffe and former U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello are believed to be potential candidates, although neither have officially declared their candidacy.

My post is no longer necessary. I'd rather hug Ally.
Wow, 1,000 replies to my original post. Guess I should be ticked off but I'm kind of proud in a cranky sorta way...
So sorry for your loss, Ally! Cancer is such a terrible thing--the same thing has happened to so many people, everyone is touched by cancer in some way. You are in my thoughts--let me know if I can do anything for you, Ally.
I am a wee bit pissed off but it is really my own fault - I finished my job (7 a.m. to 3 p.m.) almost one hour ago so I figured I would reward myself by going on SKMB. Big mistake - because of where I work (in a PsycHealth facility in the admitting section) people keep banging on the gosh darn Plexiglass window to ask me questions. Like "I am here to see so and so - do you know where they are?" The admitting clerks have gone home for the day. One guy had a wad of 20 dollar bills and said he just needed four quarters. I directed him down the hall to the change machine. I should have made him a deal - one 20 dollar bill for all my change (which added up to about 8 bucks) but of course that would be wrong :glare:. Hey must be time to go home finally. It is just so cold out right now I am procrastinating putting on the coat and facing the chilly temps. Hope all are having a pleasant day/evening where ever you are! Love and green lights...:smile2:
Because someone stole my ATM card number and hacked my email yet for some reason I'm having a more difficult time fixing the email situation.
I despise people who steal.
My satellite receiver/dvr is broken! I got up this morning, watched a couple shows I had recorded, and when I went back to regular programming, all I was picking up was some obscure sports channels. No matter what channel I turned it to, it was a sports channel. So I reset the receiver. Then all I had was a black screen, no error messages or anything. Reset it twice more before calling tech support, spent an hour on the phone with them, and nothing. The earliest service call available is FEB 5...AFTER the Super Bowl. :grr:
I do have a second receiver, and it is working fine, so I can still watch the Super Bowl.
I really hope that I don't have to get a different dvr receiver...I have a bunch of stuff taped that I haven't watched yet, and a gazillion Disney movies for the kids, too. All of that will be lost. :sad:
Sounds like it's haunted or something, Cat. Obscure sports. Maybe there is something it wants you to see...:oops:

If you are into taking good care of your skin, then you have probably heard of the beneficial qualities of the minerals of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea, which is the lowest point on Earth, at roughly 400 meters (1400 feet) below sea level, is characterized by a combination of very special conditions. The air pressure is quite high, UV radiation is very low, the air is low in allergens, and most importantly, the water and mud of the Dead Sea contain a unique blend of special minerals. The mineral rich waters and mud have been tested and shown to be very beneficial against various health problems, ranging from osteoarthritis to skin problems such as eczema. Many products make use of these substances, and you have probably heard of Dead Sea scrubs, Dead Sea moisturizers, Dead Sea hand cream and foot cream, and so on. However, there are so many Dead Sea skin products that you probably haven't heard about all of them. The world's best-known brand is AHAVA, which specializes in beauty products that are based on minerals from the Dead Sea, and it offers some unique products that you may want to try.
One of these product lines are the AHAVA anti wrinkle creams: AHAVA Age Control and AHAVA Extreme. Judaica Webstore offers a wide range of anti aging products that will ward off any unsightly wrinkles or lines and keep your skin looking smooth and supple as you age. The anti wrinkle products of AHAVA help protect your skin from harsh weather conditions, air pollution and other damaging factors found in the environment. This line of creams and moisturizers helps the skin keep firm, young-looking and hydrated.
The latest in innovative make up is AHAVA's range of makeup products, which includes a variety of different types you can choose from, based on your skin type and color and your preferred final texture. These include a light foundation, a rich foundation, compact powder and loose powder. AHAVA makeup products are made with Dead Sea minerals, natural pigments and special algae from the Dead Sea.
Everyone should protect themselves from damaging UV radiation. This is why Ahava came up with a unique line of sun protection, body care and facial care products, which not only protect the skin from the sun but also nourish it and keep it looking beautiful and smooth. These include Sun Anti-Aging Moisturizer and Sun-Anti Aging Moisturizer Spray. Both are available at SPF 30 and SPF 50.

I've been in touch with Jared Cosulich since he launched CommunityWalk last August. He started the site to enable people to build a Google Maps mashup without prior knowledge of the Google Maps API. Since August some 3000 people have registered with the site and close to 5000 Google Maps are now being shared throughout various communities.
To this point Jared's focus has been on the maps creation aspect of the site, with the user experience always in mind. Satisfied with his site re-design and the fact that his user community can now build and edit their Google Maps he has shifted his focus to visitors to the site interested in exploring the maps which are available on the new "Explore Page". The Explore Page is really the looking glass into all the maps that people have built on CommunityWalk. The map on the page acts as a filter, showing only maps that exist within the current zoom level you are at. You can also choose maps based on the tagcloud above the map view or by running a search. Remember to zoom in and out using click and right-click. It's a great addition the lets you explore all of what people have created using the tool.

Yom Hashoah: Holocaust Memorial Day
Remembering the victims.
By MJL Staff
We Also Recommend
The full name of the day commemorating the victims of the Holocaust is "Yom Hashoah Ve-Hagevurah"–literally the "Day of (Remembrance of) the Holocaust and the Heroism." It is marked on the 27th day in the month of Nisan–a week after the seventh day of Passover, and a week before Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day for Israel's fallen soldiers). When the 27th of Nisan falls on a Friday or Sunday, Yom Hashoah is observed the previous Thursday or the following Sunday, respectively, to avoid adjacency with Shabbat. (The Hebrew calendar is fixed so that the 27th never falls on Shabbat itself.)
The date was selected by the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) on April 12, 1951. The full name became formal in a law that was enacted by the Knesset on August 19, 1953. Although the date was established by the Israeli government, it has become a day commemorated by Jewish communities and individuals worldwide.
In the early 1950s, education about the Holocaust emphasized the suffering inflicted on millions of European Jews by the Nazis. Surveys conducted in the late 1950s indicated that young Israelis did not sympathize with the victims of the Holocaust, since they believed that European Jews were "led like sheep for slaughter." The Israeli educational curriculum began to shift the emphasis to documenting how Jews resisted their Nazi tormentors through "passive resistance"–retaining their human dignity in the most unbearable conditions–and by "active resistance," fighting the Nazis in the ghettos and joining underground partisans who battled the Third Reich in its occupied countries.
The Siren
Since the early 1960s, the sound of a siren on Yom Hashoah stops traffic and pedestrians throughout the State of Israel for two minutes of silent devotion. The siren blows at sundown and once again at 11:00 A.M. on this date. All radio and television programs during this day are connected in one way or another with the Jewish destiny in World War II, including personal interviews with survivors. Even the musical programs are adapted to the atmosphere of Yom Hashoah. There is no public entertainment on Yom Hashoah, as theaters, cinemas, pubs, and other public venues are closed throughout Israel.

A bit of background for newcomers
This emotional journey will revisit the stories of my Uncle Joe once again. I hope you will enjoy them, and think of your family as you read.
Joseph Henry Thompson (pictured, left) was born in June 1925 in Birmingham, England. The eldest of 4 children, and brother of my father (dad being the youngest). I never knew him and my father hardly had the time before his tragic demise post-war at 22.
Joe 'joined up' to the RAF, along with thousands of other young men, in 1943 at the tender age of 18. He left his widowed Mother, Olive (my Nan) and 3 siblings and left for training in London after Christmas. This letter is from his first posting to the Intake Training Wing (ITW) in Bridlington, just 2 weeks or so later, where he has been sent for 6 weeks of intensive, tough training.
Letter 15 – 3 'Joes' and top test scores, 3rd February 1944
Dear Mom and Kids,
Just a few lines to let you know things are still OK around here (strangely enough I've got a free night for a change). My pals and I are going out to get broke, but well filled, with 'grub'! We 'discovered' a small corner cafe the other night where we can get Eggs – chips – bread and butter and tea for 1/6!! Yes, they're real fried eggs too!!
My pals, by the way, (none of which come from Brum) are: Den Maycock from Reading, Smokey Joe Lee from Liverpool, Joe Lyons also from Liverpool, Stan Dunne from Walsall and Ken Dilworth from 'outside Manchester'. They call me for some unknown reason "Mac". Perhaps I smell of Haggis or look like bag-pipes but they won't say!
By the way the Sergeant of our flight gave me (and others) the enclosed slip about your allowance. Let me know if anything comes of your enquiries as I'm allowed to do 'nowt'. I can of course reduce the weekly deduction.
You will have been to Gran's by the time you get this, how is everybody, especially Gran and Uncle Horace? Let me have Aunt Glad's address as soon as poss', as I must thank them for the P.O. and letter.
Had 3 more teeth filled today and the fillings (all of 'em) are a silvery
mettle metal (can't spell!) The one tooth, a double, gave me hell! The dentist said as I left, "Only another half dozen!" Anyway, I got out of 2 hours square bashin'!
We had a progress test in Morse the other day and I got 'em all 'reet'. Also got 25/25 in Aircraft Recognition progress test. Cor, I'm real 'ot!!
Must close now as it will be lights out soon and I'm stuck for words. Cheerio for now,
Love to you all, Joe. xxxx
P.S. Only 3 weeks now!!!"
Today's letter had the tiny slip enclosure still folded neatly within its pages. "Your claim to Dependants Allowance has been disallowed…" As ever, Joe is doing his best to ensure that his Mum and siblings back home are well cared for, and continues to send money home from his wages to help their survival during these harsh times of need.
It's hard for the present generations to consider the excitement of a real egg!!! We truly have lost the skills of 'make do and mend' that the 1940s housewife/mother found to be such a mandatory part of her life. (And my word, do I ever feel pride that Joe's test results are so perfect!!!)
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories.
I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

In the wake of the 60-page report from Congress's Select Committee On Intelligence recommending U.S. companies stop buying Chinese-made telecommunications gear for fear of cyberspying, the smaller of China's two telecom giants offered a dry response Tuesday: "ZTE recommends that the Committee's investigation be extended to include every company making equipment in China, including the Western vendors," wrote ZTE's director of global affairs, Dai Shu. "That is the only way to truly protect US equipment and US national security."
He has a point–and it's not necessarily that you should take a patriotic hammer to your Chinese-made iPhone.
As Congress's warning against buying gear from Huawei and ZTE–two companies it worries have connections to Chinese military and government spying–percolates out to the cybersecurity and networking industries, many are suggesting a less Sinophobic solution: Instead of the near-impossible task of boycotting Chinese-made products, focus instead on testing for the backdoors and bugs that Congress believes Huawei and ZTE may have installed, and apply those tests to all the networking equipment that comes through the door.
If Americans start to instead ban all networking gear with Chinese fingerprints, it's not long before we run out of options, says Zeus Kerravala, an analyst with Yankee Group. He says that both Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent source some of their components to mainland China–perhaps even a majority of its hardware in the case of Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei and ZTE's biggest competitor in optical and wireless networking.
Cisco, the largest U.S. networking firm, remains mostly mum about the source of its components, but it's no secret that at least some of its gear comes from Foxconn, the same Shenzhen-based manufacturing powerhouse that builds the iPhone. "And it's not just Cisco," says Kerravala. "Every major U.S. networking company gets components from China."
But low-level components are only the beginning, Kerravala says. If the U.S. starts to fear Chinese-designed equipment running Chinese-written software, consider Cisco's "networking academies" for education and recruitment across China. The last time Kerravala heard Cisco CEO John Chambers discuss the initiative in 2007, he says the academies already had spread to 198 locations across China and produced 27,000 graduates, many who now likely hold jobs at Cisco. "If you want to be paranoid, you could not use any Chinese infrastructure. But that doesn't stop Chinese grads from working at a U.S. company and building the backdoors there," he says. "Where does it stop? Do you stop hiring any Chinese students altogether?"
When I contacted Cisco to ask about its supply chain and staffing, the company responded only with this statement: "Our global supply chain organization uses various technologies, together with certain physical and logical security processes, to help ensure that Cisco products are manufactured in controlled environments."
To be fair, ZTE and especially Huawei do of course have far tighter connections to China and the Chinese government than any of their competitors. Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei, for instance, has a career in China's People's Liberation Army on his resume and has never given an interview to the Western press. But as many critics have pointed out, there is no "smoking gun" showing active spying by Huawei or ZTE in the congressional report, only evidence of strong resistance to their investigation. And a willy-nilly boycott of Chinese networking gear risks creating a protectionist trade war and skewing the market towards more expensive, less effective technology.
So a better way to express a healthy distrust of the two Chinese firms, says Gartner analyst John Pescatore, is to more rigorously test their products. He points to the United Kingdom, where Huawei and Britain's NSA-equivalent known as the Government Communications Headquarters have set up a Cyber Security Evaluation Centre to comprehensively audit any gear Huawei wants to sell in the country. In another case, he points to the Chinese security technology firm NSFocus, which had its products analyzed by the code-auditing firm Veracode ahead of offering them internationally.
"If I'm going to try to sell to you something, I need to show you things to make you trust my code," says Pescatore. "We don't let foreign citizens come into our country without a passport. Everyone trusts each other, and everyone verifies each other. You can't randomly say 'these two companies, we don't trust.'"
Congress's intelligence committee didn't overlook this testing strategy, but it did dismiss it as impractical in its report:
For a variety of technical and economic reasons, evaluation programs as proposed by Huawei and ZTE are less useful than one might expect. In fact, the programs may create a false sense of security that an incomplete, flawed, or misapplied evaluation would provide…the task of finding and eliminating every significant vulnerability from a complex product is monumental. If we also consider flaws intentionally inserted by a determined and clever insider, the task becomes virtually impossible.
But if "determined and clever insiders" are included in the equation, says cybersecurity-focused SANS Institute research director Alan Paller, then potential network threats extend well beyond Huawei and ZTE. "If a nation, any nation, wants inside U.S. systems, they can just put their best graduates in U.S. colleges, and they'll get inside. We've seen cases like that."
Bad equipment can infiltrate good companies' customer bases, too. In 2008 the FBI warned that counterfeit Cisco networking hardware could be substituted for the real thing to weaken unwitting buyers' security.
Thorough third-party testing of hardware and software for foul play is an immense task, Paller admits. He compares the process of code and software auditing to a digital "Manhattan Project." But he argues it's the only long term solution.
"The only way out is to invest in testing and defending," says Paller. "It's better than boycotting a few companies and pretending you're not vulnerable."
