As we have the Lamentations of Jeremiah, so here we have the Lamentations of Isaiah; the subject of both is the same—the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans and the sin of Israel that brought that destruction—only with this difference, Isaiah sees it at a distance and laments it by the Spirit of prophecy, Jeremiah saw it accomplished. In these verses,
I. The people of God in their affliction confess and bewail their sins, thereby justifying God in their afflictions, owning themselves unworthy of his mercy, and thereby both improving their troubles and preparing for deliverance. Now that they were under divine rebukes for sin they had nothing to trust to but the mere mercy of God and the continuance of that; for among themselves there is none to help, none to uphold, none to stand in the gap and make intercession, for they are all polluted with sin and therefore unworthy to intercede, all careless and remiss in duty and therefore unable and unfit to intercede.
1. There was a general corruption of manners among them (Isa. 63:6): We are all as an unclean thing, or as an unclean person, as one overspread with a leprosy, who was to be shut out of the camp. The body of the people were like one under a ceremonial pollution, who was not admitted into the courts of the tabernacle, or like one labouring under some loathsome disease, from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot nothing but wounds and bruises, Isa. 1:6. We have all by sin become not only obnoxious to God's justice, but odious to his holiness; for sin is that abominable thing which the Lord hates, and cannot endure to look upon. Even all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. (1.) "The best of our persons are so; we are all so corrupt and polluted that even those among us who pass for righteous men, in comparison with what our fathers were who rejoiced and wrought righteousness (Isa. 63:5), are but as filthy rags, fit to be case to the dunghill. The best of them is as a brier." (2.) "The best of our performances are so. There is not only a general corruption of manners, but a general defection in the exercises of devotion too; those which pass for the sacrifices of righteousness, when they come to be enquired into, are the torn, and the lame, and the sick, and therefore are provoking to God, as nauseous as filthy rags." Our performances, though they be ever so plausible, if we depend upon them as our righteousness and think to merit by them at God's hand, are as filthy rags—rags, and will not cover us—filthy rags, and will but defile us. True penitents cast away their idols as filthy rags (Isa. 30:22), odious in their sight; here they acknowledge even their righteousness to be so in God's sight if he should deal with them in strict justice. Our best duties are so defective, and so far short of the rule, that they are as rags, and so full of sin and corruption cleaving to them that they are as filthy rags. When we would do good evil is present with us; and the iniquity of our holy things would be our ruin if we were under the law.
2. There was a general coldness of devotion among them, Isa. 63:7. The measure was filled by the abounding iniquity of the people, and nothing was done to empty it. (1.) Prayer was in a manner neglected: "There is none that calls on thy name, none that seeks to thee for grace to reform us and take away sin, or for mercy to relieve us and take away the judgments which our sins have brought upon us." Therefore people are so bad, because they do not pray; compare Ps. 14:3, 4, They have altogether become filthy, for they call not upon the Lord. It bodes ill to a people when prayer is restrained among them. (2.) It was very negligently performed. If there was here and there one that called on God's name, it was with a great deal of indifferency: There is none that stirs up himself to take hold of God. Note, [1.] To pray is to take hold of God, by faith to take hold of the promises and the declarations God has made of his good-will to us and to plead them with him,—to take hold of him as of one who is about to depart from us, earnestly begging of him not to leave us, or of one that has departed, soliciting his return,—to take hold of him as he that wrestles takes hold of him he wrestles with; for the seed of Jacob wrestle with him and so prevail. But when we take hold of God it is as the boatman with his hook takes hold on the shore, as if he would pull the shore to him, but really it is to pull himself to the shore; so we pray, not to bring God to our mind, but to bring ourselves to him. [2.] Those that would take hold of God in prayer so as to prevail with him must stir up themselves to do it; all that is within us must be employed in the duty (and all little enough), our thoughts fixed and our affections flaming. In order hereunto all that is within us must be engaged and summoned into the service; we must stir up the gift that is in us by an actual consideration of the importance of the work that is before us and a close application of mind to it; but how can we expect that God should come to us in ways of mercy when there are none that do this, when those that profess to be intercessors are mere triflers?
II. They acknowledge their afflictions to be the fruit and product of their own sins and God's wrath. 1. They brought their troubles upon themselves by their own folly: "We are all as an unclean thing, and therefore we do all fade away as a leaf (Isa. 63:6), we not only wither and lose our beauty, but we fall and drop off" (so the word signifies) "as leaves in autumn; our profession of religion withers, and we grow dry and sapless; our prosperity withers and comes to nothing; we fall to the ground, as despicable and contemptible; and then our iniquities like the wind have taken us away and hurried us into captivity, as the winds in autumn blow off, and then blow away, the faded withered leaves," Ps. 1:3, 4. Sinners are blasted, and then carried away, by the malignant and violent wind of their own iniquity; it withers them and then ruins them. 2. God brought their troubles upon them by his wrath (Isa. 63:7): Thou hast hidden thy face from us; hast been displeased with us and refused to afford us any succour. When they made themselves as an unclean thing no wonder that God turned his face away from them, as loathing them. Yet this was not all: Thou hast consumed us because of our iniquities. This is the same complaint with that (Ps. 90:7, 8), We are consumed by thy anger; thou hast melted us, so the word is. God had put them in the furnace, not to consume them as dross, but to melt them as gold, that they might be refined and new-cast.
III. They claim relation to God as their God, and humbly plead it with him, and in consideration of it cheerfully refer themselves to him (Isa. 63:8): "But now, O Lord! thou art our Father: though we have conducted ourselves very undutifully and ungratefully towards thee, yet still we have owned thee as our Father; and, though thou hast corrected us, yet thou hast not cast us off. Foolish and careless as we are, poor and despised and trampled upon as we are by our enemies, yet still thou art our Father; to thee therefore we return in our repentance, as the prodigal arose and came to his father; to thee we address ourselves by prayer; from whom should we expect relief and succour but from our Father? It is the wrath of a Father that we are under, who will be reconciled and not keep his anger for ever." God is their Father, 1. By creation; he gave them their being, formed them into a people, shaped them as he pleased: "We are the clay and thou our potter, therefore we will not quarrel with thee, however thou art pleased to deal with us, Jer. 18:6. Nay, therefore we will hope that thou wilt deal well with us, that thou who madest us wilt new-make us, new-form us, though we have unmade and deformed ourselves: We are all as an unclean thing, but we are all the work of thy hands, therefore do away our uncleanness, that we may be fit for thy use, the use we were made for. We are the work of thy hands, therefore forsake us not," Ps. 138:8. 2. By covenant; this is pleaded (Isa. 63:9): "Behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people, all the people thou hast in the world, that make open profession of thy name. We are called thy people, our neighbours look upon us as such, and therefore what we suffer reflects upon thee, and the relief that our case requires is expected from thee. We are thy people; and should not a people seek unto their God? Isa. 8:19. We are thine; save us," Ps. 119:94. Note, When we are under providential rebukes from God it is good to keep fast hold of our covenant-relation to him.
IV. They are importunate with God for the turning away of his anger and the pardoning of their sins (Isa. 63:9): "Be not wroth very sore, O Lord! though we have deserved that thou shouldst, neither remember iniquity for ever against us." They do not expressly pray for the removal of the judgment they were under; as to that, they refer themselves to God. But, 1. They pray that God would be reconciled to them, and then they can be easy whether the affliction be continued or removed: "Be not wroth to extremity, but let thy anger be mitigated by the clemency and compassion of a father." They do not say, Lord, rebuke us not, for that may be necessary, but Not in thy anger, not in thy hot displeasure. It is but in a little wrath that God hides his face. 2. They pray that they may not be dealt with according to the desert of their sin: Neither remember iniquity for ever. Such is the evil of sin that it deserves to be remembered for ever; and this is that which they deprecate, that consequence of sin, which is for ever. Those make it to appear that they are truly humbled under the hand of God who are more afraid of the terror of God's wrath, and the fatal consequences of their own sin, than of any judgment whatsoever, looking upon these as the sting of death.
V. They lodge in the court of heaven a very melancholy representation, or memorial, of the lamentable condition they were in and the ruins they were groaning under. 1. Their own houses were in ruins, Isa. 63:10. The cities of Judah were destroyed by the Chaldeans and the inhabitants of them were carried away, so that there was none to repair them or take any notice of them, which would in a few years make them look like perfect deserts: Thy holy citie 1abd s are a wilderness. The cities of Judah are called holy cities, for the people were unto God a kingdom of priests. The cities had synagogues in them, in which God was served; and therefore they lamented the ruins of them, and insisted upon this in pleading with God for them, not so much that they were stately cities, rich or ancient ones, but that they were holy cities, cities in which God's name was known, professed, and called upon. "These cities are a wilderness; the beauty of them is sullied; they are neither inhabited nor visited, as formerly. They have burnt up all the synagogues of God in the land," Ps. 74:8. Nor was it only the smaller cities that were thus left as a wilderness unfrequented, but even "Zion is a wilderness; the city of David itself lies in ruins; Jerusalem, that was beautiful for situation and the joy of the whole earth, is now deformed, and has become the scorn and scandal of the whole earth; that noble city is a desolation, a heap of rubbish." See what devastations sin brings upon a people; and an external profession of sanctity will be no fence against them; holy cities, if they become wicked cities, will be soonest of all turned into a wilderness, Amos 3:2. 2. God's house was in ruins, Isa. 63:11. This they lament most of all, that the temple was burnt with fire; but, as soon as it was built, they were told what their sin would bring it to. 2 Chron. 7:21; This house, which is high, shall be an astonishment. Observe how pathetically they bewail the ruins of the temple. (1.) It was their holy and beautiful house; it was a most sumptuous building, but the holiness of it was in their eye the greatest beauty of it, and consequently the profanation of it was the saddest part of its desolation and that which grieved them most, that the sacred services which used to be performed there were discontinued. (2.) It was the place where their fathers praised God with their sacrifices and songs; what a pity is it that that should lie in ashes which had been for so many ages the glory of their nation! It aggravated their present disuse of the songs of Zion that their fathers had so often praised God with them. They interest God in the cause when they plead that it was the house where he had been praised, and put him in mind too of his covenant with their fathers by taking notice of their fathers' praising him. (3.) With it all their pleasant things were laid waste, all their desires and delights, all those things which were employed by them in the service of God, which they had a great delight in; not only the furniture of the temple, the altars and table, but especially the sabbaths and new moons, and all their religious feasts, which they used to keep with gladness, their ministers and solemn assemblies, these were all a desolation. Note, God's people reckon their sacred things their most delectable things; rob them of holy ordinances and the means of grace, and you lay waste all their pleasant things. What have they more? Observe here how God and his people have their interest twisted and interchanged; when they speak of the cities for their own habitation they call them thy holy cities, for to God they were dedicated; when they speak of the temple wherein God dwelt they call it our beautiful house and its furniture our pleasant things, for they had heartily espoused it and all the interests of it. If thus we interest God in all our concerns by devoting them to his service, and interest ourselves in all his concerns by laying them near our hearts, we may with satisfaction leave both with him, for he will perfect both.
VI. They conclude with an affectionate expostulation, humbly arguing with God concerning their present desolations (Isa. 64:12): "Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things? Or, Canst thou contain thyself at these things? Canst thou see thy temple ruined and not resent it, not revenge it? Has the jealous God forgotten to be jealous? Ps. 74:22; Arise, O God! plead thy own cause. Lord, thou art insulted, thou art blasphemed; and wilt thou hold thy peace and take no notice of it? Shall the highest affronts that can be done to Heaven pass unrebuked?" When we are abused we hold our peace, because vengeance does not belong to us, and because we have a God to refer our cause to. When God is injured in his honour it may justly be expected that he should speak in the vindication of it; his people prescribe not to him what he shall say, but their prayer is (as here) Ps. 83:1; Keep not thou silence, O God! and Ps. 109:1; "Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise! Speak for the conviction of thy enemies, speak for the comfort and relief of thy people; for wilt thou afflict us very grievously, or afflict us for ever?" It is a sore affliction to good people to see God's sanctuary laid waste and nothing done towards the raising of it out of its ruins. But God has said that he will not contend for ever, and therefore his people may depend upon it that their afflictions shall be neither to extremity nor to eternity, but light and for a moment.

Tsunamis May Have Killed a Generation
The seven Papua New Guinea villages destroyed by tidal waves may have lost an entire generation of children, whose small bodies were smashed against the trees, drowned in the lagoon or dragged out to sea as the waves retreated. The number of child fatalities was so high that many schools are not expected to reopen. The official death toll from last Friday's disaster -- caused by earthquakes out at sea -- stands at 1,200, but with thousands still missing and the mangrove swamps and lagoons littered with corpses, authorities fear it may be closer to 3,000. And that may be compounded by the threat of disease as bodies lie unburied in the tropical heat and homeless residents, still in shock, find themselves without adequate food or a safe water supply. The tsunamis followed a yearlong drought in which thousands of people starved to death.

Reviews of this property
Séjour très agréable.
Logement très bien situé et balcon avec vue sur le Colisée !
Accueil sympathique avec petit cadeau.
Literie en bon état.
Cuisine équipée.
Je recommande !
What a fantastic stay in this beautiful apartment so so close to the iconic Colosseum.
Marisa was waiting at the apartment and it was like meeting an aunt a lovely lady who explained that she grew up in the apartment so it is obviously very special to her. Her husband was also there to explain practicalities.
The spacious apartment was spotless exactly as advertised and I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a balcony with a view.
Thank you Marisa x
La anfitriona excelente, la casa estaba impecable tiene todo lo necesario y Marissa hasta nos dejo algunas cosas de comer para nuestra llegada. Te entrega toda la información de los alrededores y de la casa.
Ubicación inigualable llegas a todo caminando.
Lo único negativo es que las camas no son muy cómodas.
Inmejorable localizacion al lado del coliseo. El apartamento es confortable y amplio, está limpio y te hace sentir como en tu casa.
Gracias a Marisa y Fabio por su hospitalidad y buen hacer.
The two couples uf us stayed here for 4 days in June 2017. We found a warm and very friendly welcome by Marisa and her husband to an excellent apartment very close to Colosseum.
The domicil is very well equipped and moreover our hosts perfectly cared for everything travellers need their first hours here (eg. some fresh Milk, Water, some cake and sweets, Coffee...). Not to forget a fine bottle of red wine to accompany the view to the Colosseo from the balcony!
Metro, bus and tram are very close to the house, so one can quickly go to all sites of the city.
We really recommend this excellent place which we found exactly as was described at Wimdu site.
Thanks for your hospitality
Monika, Beate, Wilhelm & Juergen from Germany
Mann, war das eine tolle Wohnung: Der Blick vom Balkon ist zu jeder Tageszeit in andere Farben getaucht. man sieht nicht nur das Kolosseum sondern ganz hinten auch die Spitze der Kuppel des Petersdomes.
Die Betten sind bequem, die Küche hat alles, was man im Urlaub braucht, die Badezimmer sind ok, auch wenn ich gerne ein paar mehr Haken und Ablagen gehabt hätte.
Verkehrstechnisch kann eine Wohnung nicht besser liegen. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, noch mal zu Marisa zu kommen. Mille Grazie Marisa
Marisa y su marido, encantadores! Siempre atentos durante nuestra estancia. Muy amables y su vivienda en un sitio privilegiado de Roma.
Apartamento muy recomendable en una localización excelente para visitar Roma. Tiene muy cerca todo tipo de servicios, trasporte público, supermercado 24 horas abierto, restaurantes y cafeterías. El apartamento está correctamente equipado y limpio.
Fantastic apartment in Rome. It is a very large apartment with everything that was described in the offering text. The one balcony with incredible view to coloseum is as promised. The sleeping rooms are very good, a little bit old style, but we loved it. The kitchen a bit tiny, however sufficient for all people in our group. Thanks to Fabio for all his help and good advices he gave.
Only disadvantage: this apartment is located at a street, so of course some noise comes from this area. First night we heard it, second night we have no longer been disturbed by it.
We highly recommend this fantastic opportunity to stay at Rome and would definitely like to return for a different occasion

Children's Health
Is the size of my baby`s head normal?
my baby was born 6 weeks early and weighed 1.2kg at birth. she also had apnea which lasted for about 6 hours and has not been able to gain much weight ever since. she is 13 months old now and weighs just 6.1kg. But i am most worried about her head size which is just 40cm. the doctor tells me it is abnormal for her age. is this true considering her size?
I have to fully agree with your health care provider. Your daughter's weight and head circumference are very low for her age, even considering her premature birth. Is she meeting her developmental milestones, e.g., sitting, cooing, words such as ma-ma/da-da? If not, a visit to a pediatric neurologist or a pediatric developmental specialist may be in order.

30-30remchester, I understand that the for end is important to collectors, but I will never sell this weapon. My great grandfather bought it brand new and I plan on keeping it in the family and passing it down to my boys. I knew no one in my family had done any real research on it and I definitely appreciate all the info you guys have given me. I am just excited to get it out and sling some led and see how this goes. Last time it was fired it had some major recoil and my grandfather was not a small guy by any means.

Those interested in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary's revamped multiplayer maps but not the whole retail package will be able to buy the maps as a bundle for Halo: Reach from next week.
The pack will set you back 1200 Microsoft Points and includes six multiplayer stages - Battle Canyon, Breakneck, High Noon, Penance, Ridgeline, Solitary - alongside the Installation 04 Firefight map.
The multiplayer maps are remade versions of Halo classics Beaver Creek, Headlong, Hang 'Em High, Damnation, Timberland, and Prisoner respectively, and retro variants will also be included in the playlists.
Playlists will go live on November 14, one day before the 10 year anniversary of the series. As detailed on Halo Waypoint, there will be five to choose from: Anniversary Squad, Anniversary BTB, Anniversary FFA, Anniversary Classic, and Anniversary Firefight.
There are also slight changes to the game itself: "Anniversary Classic game types have the following settings: no Armor Abilities, Anniversary Pistol (pistol traits have been modified to replicate CE behaviour), one Frag Grenade upon loadout, player speed increased, gravity increased, jump height increased, shield and health recharge rates increased, and melee damage reduced. Please note that the standard TU changes also apply to Anniversary Classic game types."

I think it would be nice if the 5700 who were not able to cross the finish line could have a way to reach out to each other to communicate, to heal and to hopefully run together again in 2014! Right now I am calling this group "5700 Boston Strong". It is unrealistic to find everyone but I hope through the power of the internet and social media we can find a majority of us.
I am working on the best way to do this but in the mean time have set up this FB group.
I am not sure how many are on FB but please join if you are. Working on other solutions as well....suggestions welcome.

I had my third rhinoplasty three months ago which focused on removing scar tissue from the right side of the supratip and pushing the right bone in towards the center. After the cast came off, the nose looked absolutely perfect. Two days after, it expanded a lot on the right supratip (and along the right bridge) where the scar tissue was removed, and since then, it has only slightly decreased in apparent swelling. It feels tender and there is some slight pain when pressing. Is this swelling?
Swelling or Scar?
Doctor Answers 4
Swelling or scar?
When your cast comes off, your swelling is right near its peak. Even at three months, you are still swollen and the nose may still feel tender to the touch. In general, the final result of a rhinoplasty may not be evident for 18-24 months following surgery. 70% of the swelling resolves after the first three months, and the remainder goes down over time. Swelling is most directly influenced by thickness of the patient's skin, whether the procedure was a revision, whether tip work was performed, and whether or not the procedure was open or closed.
Since your procedure was a revision, you will be considerably swollen. As more revisions are performed, each subsequent case is more difficult. There will be more scar tissue built up following each surgery. In general, the difficulty of a revision is related to the three-dimensional healing and shrink wrappage of the skin. The use of 5-Flourouracil is a great way to soften and possibly reduce scar tissue from previous surgeries when performing a revision rhinoplasty. You can combine it with kenalog, and it yields a fantastic result. You can use this combination post-operatively to help reduce swelling. There are some possible side effects that may occur such as white spots on the skin and indentation. But I have performed hundreds of these injections with no complications. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon to see what he/she advises to reduce some of your swelling. Thanks and best of luck with your recovery!

Swelling After Rhinoplasty
In cases similar to yours, this is most always certainly swelling and not a scar, however, because you're so early in the recovery process, you'll need to wait several more months to be sure. As you continue to recover, your swelling will decrease, allowing you to see the final results and whether or not you will be left with a scar.
Swelling, or Scar?
The third option would be to make sure you do not have an infection. Scar tissue can not be completely removed during surgery, so you will still have some and may create more after your last surgery. However, you have had three surgeries and you are only three months out from your surgery, which means that most likely you have swelling.
Follow up with your doctor to make sure it is not an infection, and be prepared for prolonged swelling due to the number of surgeries you have had.
Best of luck,

Swelling after revision rhinoplasty
It is important to be patient at this point. IYou will not notice the final appearance of the nose for 9-12 months after a primary rhinoplasty. A second or third procedure will result in even more swelling. If an open approach was used, this swelling is often worse. It is not surprising to hear these concerns after only 3 months. It is important to communicate your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes!

Question About Flavors That Go Together
Decorating By unforgetable2u Updated 16 Jul 2005 , 11:31pm by unforgetable2u
what does everyone think honestly... i would like to do a spice cake layer and then a chocolate layer will they be good together????? thank you in advance for your opinions
I have never had that combination before. I am not syre those would go together. Are you doing a stacked cake? I would probably do 1 tier chocolate and then the next tier spice. Maybe someone else has tried it! Let us know how it tastes!
I think they'd go well as long as you like the flavors together...it's like adding cinnamon to hot cocoa which I think tastes great together.
that is exactly what i was thinking but yes they would be 2 seperate layers i ust wanted something different for a change
I don't think it'd be bad together.. I actually think it'd taste pretty darn good lol .. like lisa said, cinnamon and hot chocolate go well together so I don't see why spice and chocolate wouldn't .. let us know how it turns out if you decide to do it
i sure will thanks alot you guys

Catherine McNeil
Catherine McNeil is an up-and-coming model whose flawless face has been featured on the covers of such magazines as France's Vogue and Singapore's Harper's Bazaar.
Catherine McNeil BiographyBorn and raised in Australia, Catherine McNeil found that she was being singled out for her looks from an exceedingly early age. Blessed with the kind of strong features most women would kill for, Catherine heeded the advice of her family and friends by entering a model-search contest being held by Australian teen magazine Girlfriend. It came as no surprise to anybody when Catherine McNeil handily won the competition, and it wasn't long before she found herself walking the runway and posing for cameras.
She was just 14 years old at the time, yet this didn't stop Catherine McNeil from pursuing a modeling career with an ambition and drive one wouldn't normally associate with a teenager. One of the perks of her victory was a trip to New York City, where Catherine McNeil began to meet with a number of agents and fashion industry mavens. She eventually elected to sign with the prestigious Next Models agency, which is also home to such familiar faces as Miranda Kerr and Ana Beatriz Barros. She returned to Australia and spent the next several years familiarizing herself with the fashion scene, appearing within the pages of magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.
Catherine McNeil moved permanently to New York City at 17, and she's since established herself as a force to be reckoned with within the industry. In addition to walking the runway for such designers as Valentino, Versace and Givenchy, Catherine McNeil was recently hired by Donna Karan to promote her 2007-2008 line of women's clothes.

Learning the Jokes
Of course, I learned about Josipovici through Steve Mitchelmore (who briefly mentions the talk and Ellis' account here), and more via Ready Steady Book and Spurious. I've read one novel by Josipovici (In a Hotel Garden, which I wrote about here), and I was able to find two others when I was in Paris last Fall (Moo Pak and Now). I have his criticism high on my list of books to acquire (The Book of God: A Response to the Bible looks especially interesting). Ellis writes that he left the talk with his "faith in serious writing renewed".

Welcome to Cisco Support Community. We would love to have your feedback.
For an introduction to the new site, click here. If you'd prefer to explore, try our test area to get started. And see here for current known issues.
Recently purchased a RVS4000 Router, which included v1.1.14 firmware. Is it necessary to reset the router to Factory Default settings, after upgrading to v1.2.11, as in most of the other previous upgrades?
For RVS4000, we recommend a reset to factory default to get peace of mind.
The router is a real performer though, 800Mbps advertised throughput with GE interfaces. IPsec tunnels support (5). Has a SIP ALG and supports VLANs and QoS. The wireless sister WRVS4400N adds wireless N.
I have never worked on this particular router until this job. I am more familiar with "true" Cisco products than with the Linksys line.
I'm woking on a job for a customer to get VPN working on his RVS4000. It was still on the original firmware and VPN wasn't working. I flashed to the newest version and now cannot connect to the WAN (Internet). I also tried the previous rev. AND reset to factory defaults - no go. This is very frustrating. My customer is saying it would have been less expensive for him to just buy a whole new router than getting this router to work as advertised. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
You can call in for an RMA since the router has turn into a brick, if you are entitle. The support number that you will need to call is 1-866-606-1866. Make sure you have your serial number of the defective unit prior to calling in.
Disreguard the previous reply, I responded to the comment not the orginal post. I suggest not to upgrade firmware unless you are having problems. If the unit is working LEAVE IT ALONE!
If you had read my original message you'd have noticed that I was having problems with VPN, thus why I went ahead with the firmware upgrade. Why would a simple firmware upgrade "brick" the router? This router is two years old and my customer has never gotten VPN to work. Is anyone from Cisco able to reply to my issue? Thank You,
There is a firmware rescue tool that can unbrick the RVS4000 router. It's a free download on cisco.com.
The router doesn't seem bricked - it only won't connect to the Internet. I thought "bricked" meant that it was totally unresponsive. That's why I'm wondering if the upgrade added a "feature" or something that is blocking access to the Internet.
It responds normally on the LAN side of the network. I can get into the administration, etc. I'm working remotely and not at the site. I want to avoid a trip up there if possible.
Thanks everyone for all your help,
RVS4000 firmware 1.2.11 is the best firmware so far. After firmware upgrade, please do a reset to factory default, clearing all existing settings on the router, and you should be fine. If you have WAN connection problem, please provide us the WAN connection type, the modem's model number and the firmware version on the modem. Contacting tech support to get a ticket created will also get the ball rolling faster.
BTW, what type of VPN issue were you facing?
Does Cisco charge for the incident if its out of warranty? I don't want this project to end up costing him more than the router's worth and he's over an hour away from me!
I think my customer has had this router for a couple of years now. He just recently needed VPN functionality and that's what I'm helping him configure. The client would go through all the steps and timing out at the very end almost like not getting a dhcp address but everything else seemed connected. The router was showing an active client but the client wouldn't connect. I tried changing the MTU to manual and set the size to 1428. I also tried from my laptop connected to an AirCard AND my home network. My customer's LAN is a 192.168.1.x configuration. My home network is 172.16.1.x and when I used my aircard it was a public IP. Anyway the VPN problem is what brought this whole firmware upgrade to light. For all I know the ISP is doing some NATting within their network to a 192.x number and that's why VPN isn't working? I don't know..... I just want to be able to get it working well enough that I can resume remotely administrating it from here.
Router's warranty is 3 years.
If the RVS4000's WAN port is behind a NAT device, it's more complex to set up a VPN tunnel. The user guide of RV042 (a free download on cisco.com) has an appendix that covers IPSec NAT Traversal, whose concept could be applied to RVS4000 as well.
I had my customer run the upgrade again, then reset back to default and put in the WAN IP info. once again. Same thing, again.
So then I had him run the "rescue" utility which brought the firmware down to 1.11.11 version. He is able to get back on the net but I'm afraid VPN won't work again on this version as this is an even earlier version than before!
I contacted Cisco today and unfortunately this router is out of warranty.
Is there another product that actually works with VPN and allows firmware upgrades without rendering the router useless?
Hey Gregory are you trying to connect using the quickvpn utility on the router? If that is the case make sure the block wan request is disabled on the rvs4000. Secondly if you are using xp to connect to the router use service pack 3 with the windows firewall disabled. If using vista, it will only work with vista 32 bit and the windows firewall has to be enabled. If you have the private ip address set to 192.168.1.1 and are trying to connect using another device with the same private ip address of 192.168.1.1 it will not connect. The best practice is to always change the private ip address of a vpn router to a 192.168.2.1 or something like that. If you are trying to connect using a wireless card, like verizon or something like that there are issues with our vpn client not connecting up with router. If your internet connection on the rvs4000 is fiber or satellite it will not connect, cause the connections on the fiber are to fast to connect and we are having issues with satellite internet. I hope this will help you out and by the way if the 1.2.11 firmware renders it unusable try the 1.2.10 version and see if that makes the wan work. Thank You.
I already attempted the 1.2.10 firmware and it also rendered the WAN useless. With all these gotchas and the router not working I am going to recommend my customer ditch it. Whaqt product would you instead recommend?
Thank You,
Go with RV042, which has better VPN throughput and dual WAN ports for backup or load balancing.
That's the one I was looking at. Are there any VPN gotchas with this one like with the RVS4000? I understand not working between two 192.168.1.x networks but what about peculiarities like having to turn off firewalls, not working with x64 O/S, etc?
Thanks for the suggestion,
The rv042 has the same vpn gotcha's as the rvs4000, but the rv042 has the pptp server which you can use with vista 64 bit, macintosh pretty much anything as long as you use the vpn client built in the pc's device. The rv042 will support 5 pptp clients and you can use quickvpn as well to connect up clients that are not having any issues.
RV042 would be a great choice
Hi Gregory,
Cisco does charge for incidents that are out of phone warranty.. to stop the myriad of frivolous calls that come in.
If phone support warranty has run out, this may not mean that the product warranty has run out, and as such depending on the situation, if the unit really is faulty your credit card charge will be reversed.
The Small Business Support center Engineer will ask you for a credit card, if the phone support period on your product has run out. But according to the following Service support Q&A on warranty support, referenced in the following Cisco URL;
What if a customer purchases Out-of-Warranty Phone Support and it is determined that the customer's issue is caused by a hardware problem covered by the Cisco Small Business product warranty?
The customer's credit card charges for the Out-of-Warranty Phone Support will be reversed.
You might find it useful to enable dynamic dns on the WRVS4400N, since the WAN address on your customers machine may change. It's a free feature, and you can easily find the router on the internet, or at least find out if the WAN address of the WRVS4400N is a private or Global address.
regards Dave
This whole thing still doesn't seem right to me. Why would a simple firmware upgrade cuase the WAN to go awry? What, specifically, is different between the 1.1.14 version that WAS on it and the now dysfunctional 1.2.10 version? Is there a new policy or switch that disables the WAN access by default? If I can't get this to work I am going with a competitor's product or a "real" Cisco not Linksys. Is anyone fromCisco/Linksys listening?
Thanks for listening but I am losing my patience with this product,
I was told that there is some incompatibility in the bootloaders that caused this issue, and there is a fix under testing now.
What is the ETA to getting this fix?
I really don't have time to wait. What is a good entry-level "CISCO" product that would suit our needs? An 1811? I don't want to spend over $1k and don't necessarily care about WiFi functionality either.
Thanks for all your help!
According to the support policy, you would need to get a ticket number before you could receive the fix, which will wipe out all the settings on your router including the incompatibility in the bootloader that is causing the issue.
The latest firmware bricked my RVS4000 as well.
The link you sent doesn't work anymore.
Do you have a current link to the rescue tool.
What do you mean by bricked it? Do you mean it is not accessible, or that the wan port is not working? If you can access the router I would reload the latest frimware located at this site http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/DownloadCart.x?imageGuId=EFAFDED5B5038E7B46C14C60B8AB201194313855 .
Once you do that, do a factory reset of the router and reload the configurations again. If that does not work, I would call the SBSC at 1866-606-1866 and let them further trouble shoot with you. Hope this helps.
It looks like I'm having a similar problem to the previous post. I attempted to update the firmware on my RVS4000 to RVS4000-1305.img. The router was at factory defaults and had version 1.1.14 of the firmware on it. The firmware upload failed at about 30% complete and the router is now flashing the power and diag light in sequence. It looks like I need the firmware recovery tool but it's not visible when I search for it when logged in. Maybe someone can point me to the correct location or update my account so that I have enough rights to see the link.
Thank you!
I am sorry your router failed during the upgrade. I have searched the site for a recovery tool for the RVS4000 but I have not found one either. At this point, if a factory reset does not get the router to get past the diagnostic light, and/or you can not access the web interface of the router to attempt to try the upgrade again, please call SBSC at 1-866-606-1866 and let them attempt to troubleshoot the issue. Thank you.
Thank you for the reply! I was able to use the RVS4000 firmware rescue utility v1.2 to recover the base firmware and access the router again (couldn't reach the support folks over the holidays, very understandable). It would be very helpful if this utility was openly posted in the same location as the firmware and QuickVPN utility. Could that be run up the management chain at Cisco to improve the self service support and save cost associated with the phone support?
I did a good deal of trouble shooting with IE8 on my Windows XP SP3 system to try to determine the problem that I originally encountered. It became very clear that IE8 would fail loading any version of the RVS4000 firmware at the 23% (I tested them all). I suspected a security setting problem with IE8 so I attempted to adjust security settings to allow for the router to be in the trusted zone and minimized any security related settings that I thought might get in the way. Unfortunately these attempts didn't prove out a solution in the time that I had left to troubleshoot before my holiday time off was over. I then loaded the latest version of Firefox and proceeded to load the RVS4000-1305.img with no failure. I would like to see this worked further by the Cisco Small Business experts to help others avoid the problem that I had.
Bottom line in my testing on the issue is don't use IE8 when doing a firmware upgrade on your device. Firefox was a safe alternative for my configuration.
I hope my experience helps others before they have a firmware upgrade problem!
Where did you get the firmware rescue tool for this router...
It's not in with the firmware & a search shows nothing...
can you post the file to a reply or send me a link or email me the file?
"K*I*S*S" to Cisco ......
(Keep it Simple Stupid) this Linksys integration sucks....
A Simple support page for the product, with links to the software/archives
that actually work is needed....Oh, Wait, Linksys already HAD that !!!!
Here.. help if you are stuck.
use the utility...the one for the WRVS-4400N..
so go into the downloads for this one, get the file then install it local to your system.
Disconnect all but power and a cable from port 1 (one) to your system.
Set a static address of 192.168.1.? ?=pick 2 to 253 as they will all be open and the router is on 1.
open the utility and ignore the warnings as at this point your settings are all gone & you just want it to work again.
after it's done, power cycle the router and try to connect to the admin-web-page (http://192.168.1.1) U=admin P=admin
if it works it thinks it's a wireless router, Now, Go to the admin page & upgrade the firmware to the latest one for the correct
product (RVS4000) which is 22.214.171.124 right now. Then after you flash it, check it again & it should be working fine now.


text: I recently Purchased ( 1 week back) the Lava Xolo X900 Smartphone from Flipkart India. This came with stock Android ICS 4.0.4 (IFWI: 05 A5, Kenel: 3.0.8-138161-g8399bf7) I was upset to find that the "USB Mass storage" option PC Connectivity was removed from this version of ICS in my phone. This was replaced with two other options named MTP & PTP, in the USB connectivity notification. The accompanying Xolo instruction leaflet & usermanual-pdf from Xolo site, are totally useless & outdated, regarding this USB-MS feature, & only relevant for phones which came with GB-OS (Android-2.3.7). The only way to transfer files to/from my phone-device, without WiFi/BT, was to to make this MTP protocol work, with my Windows-XP PC. On further research in internet, I found out that, this was so with any phone with later ICS (And-4.0.4) versions. But I found that in my Windows-XP-SP2 PC, MTP drivers are not available by default. After so much trials & search I was able to make it (MTP) work. Even though many solutions were touted in various forums, I am sharing my experience here, to provide the most fundamental solution. Option-1 * Download & Install Windows Media Player-11 (since this contains all the UMDF, & MTP drivers) 25MB * Download & Install Android USB drivers from Intel Site. (IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.1.4.exe) 9 MB. Option-2 (Simpler option, without need to install the full WMP11) (Also Activation is not necessary) 1. Download the WMP11 installer, but do not install it. ("wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu" can be download from filehippo.com) 2. Extract contents from the above exe, into a temp folder. (using any unzipper) 3. Install "MS User Mode Driver Framework" component (umdf.exe) 737 kb 4. Install "Windows Media Format 11 Runtime" (wmfdist11.exe) 9.5MB 5. Now Install Android USB drivers from Intel Site. (IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.1.4.exe) 9MB [http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices] 6. Over. You will get a new "Portable Devices" group item in your PC explorer (My Computer). No drive-letter is provided. You can transfer to/fro any PC file to most of the destinations within the phone-device. (Transfer is slightly slower , but no need to mount/unmount from phone). Some times when you transfer media files like Movies, you will get a DRM warning, but I did not find any functional restrictions. Additional Info:- The essential files for MTP, are collected from the wmfdist11.exe-runtime & UMDF in earlier steps. eg like: 1. Wpdmtp.inf : from Windows Media Format 11 Runtime 2. wudfrd.sys : from UMDF rgds bhishmar PS: To get back USB mass storage option, you require to root this phone.

Kennedy on Passage of Higher Education Technical Amendments
Legislation expands grants for families of soldiers killed in action and helps students who have defaulted on their student loans
The House today unanimously approved legislation that expands grants for survivors of veterans killed in action and reduces credit problems by enabling the Department of Education to purchase rehabilitated loans from guaranty agencies. The bill, H.R. 1777, passed unanimously by the Senate this morning, also includes a number of technical amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965.
"This legislation expands a valuable college aid program to help the children of our brave men and women who have given their lives in the service of our country in Iraq or Afghanistan. It also removes a main roadblock facing student borrowers struggling to move out of default on their loan and back into normal repayment," said Senator Edward M. Kennedy. "These improvements in the current program will help many more students afford and benefit from higher education."
Key provisions of the legislation:
Expand Grants to Survivors of Soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 2008 Higher Education Opportunity Act made children of soldiers killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars since 2001, who qualify for Pell Grants, eligible for the maximum Pell award ($5,350 for the 2008-9 school year). H.R. 1777 provides a comparable grant of the same size as the maximum Pell award to survivors whose incomes do not make them are not eligible for Pell Grants. As a result, these children will be eligible for more than $20,000 in grants for college over four years.
Authorize the Department of Education to Purchase Rehabilitated Loans. When students default on a college loan held by a private lender, guaranty agencies work with them to re-establish their loan repayments. Once the students have made nine consecutive, on-time monthly payments, they are considered to have "rehabilitated" their loan. Historically guaranty agencies have sold these rehabilitated loans in secondary markets, allowing the default to be removed from the borrower's credit report. In recent months, however, there have not been enough buyers for these loans. H.R. 1777 enables guaranty agencies to sell these rehabilitated loans to the Department of Education, so that the agencies will have the capital to work with new defaulted borrowers.

The Government has announced its review of employment tribunal fees, which it says will result in recommendations for any changes to fee structure and levels.
Since July 2013, workers in the UK have been charged a fee to bring a claim to an employment tribunal, with a further fee if the claim is heard and another charge if they want to appeal the decision. Employment tribunal fees vary depending on the complexity of the case.
For example, to bring a discrimination claim, workers must pay an initial fee of £250 to issue a claim and a further fee of £950 if the claim proceeds to a hearing.
Claimants can apply for remission of the whole or part of a fee if they cannot afford to pay, and tribunals can order fees to be repaid if the claim is successful.
The review of tribunal fees will look at the following:
- employment tribunal data on volume of cases, case progression and case outcomes
- research on the views of court and tribunal users
- the general trend in the number of cases appearing at employment tribunals
- any consequences arising as a result of an improved economy on the number of employees being dismissed
- to what extent weak or unmeritorious claims have been discouraged by employment tribunal fees
- if there has been any impact because of changes in employment law.
When tribunal fees were introduced, the Government's aim was to reduce the number of frivolous claims and to help employers avoid costly legal fees handling grievances that could be dealt with away from employment tribunals.
However, employment tribunal fees have come in for heavy criticism for pricing workers who are treated unfairly out of access to justice.
The review is expected to be completed later in 2015.

Nasin and Simeon worked all afternoon, painstakingly inking the silkscreen, squeezing off the excess, and laying page after page to rest on benches behind them, until the humidity of the Rai Coast in Madang province curled the edges, dry, ready to be bound. Only when the light started to fade did they finally stop, dropping to the benches in exhaustion. But Nasin paused, then reached for the book, gently peeling back the cover. It was time to read!

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Pros: Great Stereo Sound
Cons: Premium fuel required by 6 cyl. engine.
Advice: The L.L. Bean Edition with its extra options is worth the price.Very smooth ride. Great sound system with optional CD-Changer Stereo. Seating very comfortable. Engine has excellent response. Brakes are outstanding. Very predictable handling.
Pros: Turbo Engine
Cons: Stock stereo
Advice: Buy oneAmazing acceleration and traction. Turns without leaning and the steering is extremely light and precise. The care goes exactly where you point it and tracks straight and true at any speed.
Pros: TURBO!
Cons: none so far.
Advice: Best buy for the priceVery powerful and fun to drive.
Pros: Head room
Cons: Get's dings easy.They need to improve this big time.
Advice: If you don't like dingsGood performance,not great.But that's what I want.I don't want my wife driving our kids in a car with 220hp.The faster the car the more trouble you can get in.This car is good for passing and getting on the parkway.
Pros: The silent and turbine smooth Boxer-6 engine
Cons: The fact that the seat heaters are all or nothing
Advice: Get the H6-3.0; this car needs the power.This wagon can accomodate 5 people, their luggage, and skis for a week-long ski trip. It is exceptionally smooth, well built, and quiet. The H-6 is an exceptional engine that is superior to it's eupropean compition. GM should use Subaru's engines in it's Saab line. I can only imagine it as a Saab Turbo. Overall the Subaru is a better car the Volvo, and it's all-wheel drive system is technically superior to both the Audi and Volvo. This is a great family car, and I would recomend it to and SUV owner as well. Way to go GM for buying Fugi Heavy Industry.
Pros: I finally have a shoulder restraint that doesn't rub my neck - the height of the attachment is adjustable.
Cons: It's just a little small in the seat (I'm plus size) - the seat belt catch (on the driver's right side) rubs my hip until I adjust it out of the way every time.
Advice: Check out the government safety tests - Subaru excells!Zippy and fun. The 4WD holds to the road securely but not obviously. When my Nissan Pathinder was in 4WD and I made low speed turn to park, I could feel it pulling itself thru the turn. The Forrester just feels like I'm driving!
Pros: Functional hood scoupe
Cons: Antenna mounted on the 'A' pillar
Advice: Get to the dealer fast, drive it, buy it!!I am impressed with the acceleration this vehicle offers off the line. You would never guess a vehicle with all wheel drive could accelerate at such a fast rate. There is a bit of turbo lag below 3K rpms, however, it leaves such a rush once the turbo kicks...


text: Last Tuesday my wife and I went in a signed up at the local Gold's Gym. Its $68 per month for the both of us and we each get 5 weeks with a personal trainer to get us tested and on a routine. Our neighbors joined a few weeks before we did and so we have some support for each other to keep going. About 2 months ago I changed my eating habits and started walking about 2 miles 5 nights a week. I lost about 10 lbs and dropped from a 36" to a 34" waist with room to spare. It was time to take it to the next level, thus the gym. I'm not after getting huge but just to tone up and drop a few more pounds. This past week I met once with my personal trainer and did all the testing to get set up on a program. My body fat came in at 21%, a few percentage points too high so that needs to come down. Tomorrow night we met again. I've got myself set up on a basic routine until the trainer can refine it. I do a 2 mile walk (about 30 minutes) on the treadmill, which is a bit more of an aggressive workout then around the block, and then I hit about 8 of the weight machines and then on to a few dumbbells. All-in-all it's a little over an hour for the workout. One thing is for certain, I have not felt this good in a very long time. I've gone 5 times in the last 6 days and love it. My goal is to work out Sunday through Thursday with Friday's and Saturday's off. Anyone else here gym members? I gave some thought to not joining and investing in a home set up but after seeing what Gold's has to offer you can get that at home.

RESIDENTS have given an "overwhelming" response to a petition calling for the roads near their homes to be resurfaced.
A petition organised by local Liberal Democrats is demanding work on Brockfield Road and Brockfield Park Drive, in Huntington, is carried out by City of York Council as part of its 2013/14 resurfacing programme, with 176 residents – more than 70 per cent of the households in the area – signing it.
The Lib Dems said the route was often used as a shortcut to Monks Cross Shopping Park and had been assessed as "poor" by council officers during an inspection, but it has not been included on a provisional list for repairs in the next financial year.
Huntington and New Earswick councillor Keith Orrell said residents were fed up with the state of the road and funding needed to be devoted to basic services in Huntington.
Local resident and campaigner Chris Twells, who helped collect signatures, said: "We want to see the road resurfaced, but we would also like to see the council work with residents to prevent it becoming a rat run between Huntington Road and the expanded Monks Cross, including the new community stadium."

Iraq: Shell and Petronas consortium awarded Majnoon oil field
11 Dec 2009
The Iraqi Ministry of Oil has awarded Shell and Petronas Carigali a contract for technical assistance in developing the Majnoon field, subject to ratification by the Iraqi authorities. A total of 44 companies are bidding for 10 fields in the second licensing round since the invasion in 2003.
Shell will operate the Development and Production Service Contract under the terms of the second licensing round for Iraqi oil and gas contracts. As laid out by the Ministry of Oil those terms call for 25% of the participating interests in all licences to be held by the Iraqi State. Shell will hold a 45% share, with Petronas holding 30%.
The consortium bid a plateau production of 1.8 million barrels of oil per day, up from a current level of approx. 45,000 barrels of oil per day. Majnoon is one of the largest oil fields in the world, and Shell and Petronas look forward to developing this world class resource base with its partners.
A consortium of Total and China National Petroleum Corp. is reported to have also submitted an offer for the Majnoon field, and to have bid a plateau production of 1.405 million barrels per day. Reports also indicate that Shell and Petronas offered a remuneration fee of $1.39 per barrel while Total and CNPC offered $1.75 per barrel.
Estimated reserves in Majnoon are 12.8 billion barrels.

Should anti-virals be taken everytime before Fraxel laser even if I didn't have herpes infection before?
Anti-virals Before Fraxel Laser?
Doctor Answers 3
It is a good idea
Although it is not mandatory, it is a good idea if the whole face is being done or the area surrounding the mouth. Most humans have been exposed to the ever-present cold sore virus. You may never have had an outbreak but if you had a blood test, antibodies might be found against the virus suggesting you were exposed at one time. Later in life, a stressful period such as an illness, extreme fatigue, a sunburn, heavy alcohol intake, or skin trauma such as laser, could activate the dormant virus and a cold sore develops. Normally the skin is intact and a cold sore remains solitary. During the healing period after Fraxel and other lasers, the skin is somewhat compromised and one cold sore can multiply into many fever blisters which could cause scarring over the face. If you don't take the medicine prophylactically, make sure you alert your physician if a painful lesion occurs during the healing even if it doesn't look like a cold sore to you. It could look just like a small raw spot on the skin. If it is diagnosed as a cold sore, then the medication should be taken.

If you have a history of Herpes infections, yes
Before any Ablative laser such as Fraxel CO2 Repair or nonablative laser such as Fraxel Restore if you have a history of Herpes around the mouth area then you should take antivirals before EVERY procedure.
If you don't have a history of Herpes then it will up to your physician and you to decide on whether you should take it or not.
Fraxel Laser and Anti-Virals
Hi Marcus,
If you are having Fraxel re:pair (ablative fractionated CO2 laser), then antivirals should be taken by all patients.
If you are having Fraxel re:store (non-ablative Erbium fractionated laser), and you have never had a herpes infection before, then you do not need to take the antivirals.
Some patients and physicians err on the side of safety and treat all patients every time as there is no guarantee that a patient won't develop their first infection after the treatment.
Good luck and be well.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello again, I'm so sorry you're having the problems you described. As a cataract surgeon with decades of experience, I'd like to see if I can give you some insight. Give me just a second to type out a response, and then we can address any concerns that you have.
ok please take your time
First, I would like to give you reassurance, that even though you've had the setbacks, you mentioned, the potential is still quite good that you will achieve the improved vision you were seeking when you made the decision to have your cataract lens exchange surgery....... At the moment, unless you are experiencing significant pain or significantly increasing redness of the eye, there isn't a need for you to return to your ophthalmologist before the scheduled follow-up....... with regard to the large amount of swelling your ophthalmologist told you about,.... Yes, that certainly could be the cause for the fog or cloud you are experiencing.... And even though you don't find a good explanation from your Internet searches, all of us who do the type of surgery you have had, have a lot of experience in dealing with postoperative swelling. The swelling could be in the cornea. Corneal edema can take several weeks to resolve. The swelling could also be at the retina level of your eye, a condition referred to as cystoid macula edema. You can be sure that your ophthalmologist is quite familiar with and capable of seeing you through either of these issues........, I'll stop with this response and allow you time to review it, and I will standby to answer any follow-up question, you may wish to ask.
Thank you, ***** ***** That's all I needed to know. I won't worry about it. I don't know computers that well and if I can find the smiley face--but I am very satisfied with my answer. Thank you again!--Oh, I found it!
It was nice to be able to help you. Best wishes
