The reuniting of the spirit body with the physical body of flesh and bones after death. After resurrection, the spirit and body will never again be separated, and the person will become immortal. Every person born on earth will be resurrected because Jesus Christ overcame death (1 Cor. 15:20–22).
Jesus Christ was the first person to be resurrected on this earth (Acts 26:23; Col. 1:18; Rev. 1:5). The New Testament gives ample evidence that Jesus rose with his physical body: his tomb was empty, he ate fish and honey, he had a body of flesh and bones, people touched him, and the angels said he had risen (Mark 16:1–6; Luke 24:1–12, 36–43; John 20:1–18). Latter-day revelation confirms the reality of the resurrection of Christ and of all mankind (Alma 11:40–45; 40; 3 Ne. 11:1–17; D&C 76; Moses 7:62).
All people will not be resurrected to the same glory (1 Cor. 15:39–42; D&C 76:89–98), nor will all be resurrected at the same time (1 Cor. 15:22–23; Alma 40:8; D&C 76:64–65, 85). Many Saints were resurrected after Christ's resurrection (Matt. 27:52). The righteous will be resurrected before the wicked and will come forth in the first resurrection (1 Thes. 4:16); the unrepentant sinners will come forth in the last resurrection (Rev. 20:5–13; D&C 76:85).
- Though this body be destroyed, yet in my flesh shall I see God:Job 19:26; ( Moses 5:10; )

TUPELO – Democratic candidate Bill Luckett of Clarksdale, running for governor, told the Daily Journal editorial board just a few minutes ago that, if you don't count college, he's pretty much behaved himself ever since.
The Daily Journal will ask every editorial board interviewee if he or she has done anything, which if revealed could embarrass the candidate, his/her family or the state.
Frankly, Luckett is the first to appear to really think about his answer. Wednesday, Billy Hewes and Tate Reeves – GOP Lt. Gov. hopefuls – barely hesitated with their strong "No" responses.
Luckett laughed later, saying his college days couldn't count. I agreed, not that any of us from the 1960s remember much of that anyway. It's mostly mythology at this stage.
Stay tuned for more responses… patsy

By FABIO O'DONNELL
About me.
On Dec. 22, 2009, I was sworn into the United States Army. On June 8, 2010, I will ship out to Fort Benning, Ga. There I will complete the nine week boot camp; upon graduation I will attend AIT (Advanced Individual Training) for five weeks. I have chosen, and so states in my contract that I will be in 11X, (Infantry). I will major in light or heavy weapons. At this point I have filled out a request to attend Airborne School (where you jump out of Black Hawks and planes) and RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program) and/or Ranger School. If successful within two-three years I will have attained a position in 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force), the elite of the Army. On June 1, 2010, Fabio was promoted to Private E2.
Why I chose to serve.
I do not serve for riches or personal glory, nor do I serve for some grotesque need to kill. There are many credible reasons as to why I have made the decision to join the U.S. Army, but there is only one that stands above all, and that is, you cannot have peace and freedom without war. As long as there is envy and hate in man the price of peace and freedom will be war, an ugly truth that cannot be ignored.
Since my youth I have yearned to have the ability and the privilege to put on a military uniform, to fight for something much larger than myself. As I looked at the battalions of green plastic men stretched forth on the living room floor, I envied them. Those green army men were not at home pursuing some sort of self glorifying job that would bring more ease to their life. They were on that hard wood floor fighting for much more than that. They were fighting for freedom. As the cannons thundered and the jaws of hell were opened, those men fought for all, and some gave all. As they stood their ground in formations they were constantly assaulted by advancements from the enemy. When the lines were broken more men were brought forth to fill the spots of the brave men who had fallen. Many great men died on that hard wooden floor, but they did not die in vain. Their sacrifice bought freedom, and that is what I wanted to do.
As I have grown older my eyes have been opened to the reality and cruelty of war. Its ability to take and destroy, to hurt and to kill. But I cannot deny the great call that beckons me to join the armed forces. It would be much easier to go to college and attain a normal job and have a normal life, but when I take my last few breaths I would like to know that my life had a greater purpose than to live for myself. Though my last breath may take place thousands of miles from home in a foreign land as I lay outstretched and helpless, I will know, I will know that I did not die in vain and that my life had a great purpose. I will know that my blood and the blood of many brave men has bought and secured freedom for this great nation. My life is my own, but make no mistake, I will lay it down if my country calls me to do so.
Part of my responsibility as a U.S. soldier is to know the Soldier's Creed. There is one line that I take pride in the most. The second to last line in the Soldier's Creed states, "I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life." This line is one that I will uphold and consider one of my personal mottos. This line single handedly describes and gives purpose to my military service.
The American flag is stained red as a constant reminder of the price of freedom, a daunting reality and truth that freedom is not free. Our freedom was bought with blood, a price so high few accept the call to serve. That is why, with much pride, I have accepted the call. (Fabio is the son of Brian and Liane O'Donnell of Freeport, Maine and the foster son of Don and Debbie Wilberg of Castle Dale).

Sometimes simple is the best way to go, and as the temperature rises, we're thinking less about styling in layers and more about how little we can possibly wear this summer. Monika W. has the right idea, keeping it classy and cool with Naf Naf denim shorts and a x-eyed H&M black tanktop. Supporting accessories include a vintage "granny bag" and gladiator sandals (which live on in humble form in comparison to the theatrical counterparts they burst on the scene with a few years ago). A few barcelets and a simple, chic hair-cut make this summer ensemble a winner.

Lots of use for this shoe
"This shoe is now my go to pair for many occasions. I wear a 7M and had no issues with the fit. It is very comfortable because the platform is even all around. I bought the beige/snakeskin pair and have been able to match it with all my outfits since it is neutral."

Hélène Virenque, Egyptologist
Mary Shepperson and I found three small clay figurines in house E13.6, some of the few anthropomorphic representations found at Amara West.
Although incomplete, the three figurines have the same rectangular shape and a fine polished surface. They each depict a naked woman, in a very schematic form, with only the breasts and a pubic triangle shown in detail. The breasts are usually added as separate pieces of clay, and thus easily break off, as with two of our examples. The pubic triangle was marked with a series of small holes. None feature legs or arms.
Such representations are well known in ancient Egypt, especially from the Middle Kingdom onwards. By emphasing the genitalia, they evoke the woman as a source of fertility and thus could be associated with the cult of the goddess Hathor.
Some similar statuettes were found in Upper Egypt, placed in the temple of Deir el-Bahri during the New Kingdom. Other more elaborate types of fertility figurine, in painted wood, are known from late Middle Kingdom tombs.

Skip to comments.Obama Visits Billionaires Row
Posted on 04/08/2008 7:14:44 PM PDT by jdm
On April 6, 2008, Barack Obama visited the San Francisco region, zipping from event to event all day long, from one end of the Bay Area to the other.
What? you might ask. How did I miss that? If only I had known, I would have gone to see him.
Well, there's a reason you didn't know about it. Obama didn't want you to know about it. Because the events he was attending weren't for people like you.
They were for people with lots and lots of money, who use that money to gain access and influence with politicians -- especially politicians who might become president.
So although the San Francisco Bay Area is probably the most pro-Obama section of the entire country, with Obama signs and stickers visible everywhere you turn, when Obama himself actually visited his electoral home base, he ignored the hoi polloi -- all the little people who swoon over him -- and instead, he spent the entire day with the rich. According to local gossip columnist Leah Garchik:
In the Haight, stencils of Barack Obama's smiling face are decorating the sidewalk. But in real life, he is turning up in more lucrative venues: The candidate will be around here on April 6, at a series of events that includes three $2,300-a-head maximum-strength fundraisers: Sara and Sohaib Abbasi are throwing a luncheon in Atherton; he'll zip up to Nancy and Bob Farese's house in Kentfield in mid-afternoon; and proceed from there to Ann and Gordon Getty's in San Francisco.(Let it be pointed out that Atherton and Kentfield are two of the cities with the highest-per-capita net worth in the entire United States.)
Your trusty party-animal-by-proxy has tried to infiltrate these events, but transparency seems to be fogged up. No media eyes allowed on the collection kettles; when the gifts are big, the press is barred.I wasn't about to let that stop me. When I hear the words "No media allowed," that's when I reach for my camera.
Obama bills himself as a man of the people, who will beat down big business. ... Given his populist stance, Obama's recent trip to the Bay Area, during which he hobnobbed only with the richest and most famous, is amusing, since it either presents a man with no discernible principles or it presents a bunch of rich people who are allowing themselves to be led like lambs to the slaughter.Obama's campaign slogan is "Change" -- declaring that he alone will change the way things are done in politics.
The 46-year-old Democratic senator started the day in Atherton [really rich people], made his way to Marin [really rich people] and then was due in at the Getty [plutocrats] mansion in San Francisco for another event.
Actually, the political pandering from Obama, on the one hand, and the stupid fawning from the rich, on the other hand, wasn't what I found so irritating about the IJ article. Politics in America is, after all, mostly about power, and Obama looks as if he will have the power and these people think that they can buy access. End of story.
"When you're given the gift of advocacy, you don't sell it to the highest bidder," Mrs. Obama said. Mrs. Obama stressed how her husband has relied on "regular folks" instead of big donors. Instead of thousand-dollar donations, the Obama campaign has raised millions on small checks of $20 to $50. Mrs. Obama sees this participatory attitude as a new trend.Wait just a minute there. If you do the math, one just this one day in the Bay Area, Obama went to four events, three of which had $2,300 minimum donations for tickets, and the other for $1,000 minimum per ticket. Each of the events, from the various descriptions, held as many as 400 people (the Getty mansion has a ballroom that reportedly seats at least 300). 400 x $2,300 = $920,000 per event, times three events = $2.76 million, plus the other event, which undoubtedly puts him over $3 million in contributions for this one day alone. And who knows how many other similar days he schedules in other parts of the country.
Norman Stone, heir to insurance tycoon W. Clement Stone, 27xx Broadway....and so on. I've deleted the exact addesses -- click the link for the full list and more details.
Peter Haus, Levi Strauss heir, 28xx Broadway. In 1996, Haas' Levi holdings were valued in a news report at $2.2 billion.
Peter Sperling, U. of Phoenix heir, 28xx Broadway. In 2003 he had about $1.5 billion.
Larry Ellison, Oracle founder, 28xx Broadway. In 2003 Forbes set his worth at $18 billion.
Gordon Getty, Getty Oil heir, 28xx Broadway. In 2003 Forbes Magazine estimated his fortune at $2.1 billion.
George Jewett, Weyerhaeuser heir, 29xx Broadway.
That's one reason why liberals CAN be liberals—they can AFFORD to be. After all, how does it hurt them to pay $3, $6, $100 a gallon for gas?
Figures. San Fransisco. Bunch of fruits and nuts.
Very amusing!
Picking out some places to move to after his 8 years in the White House? A lot of people would owe him by then. He could probably get some nice "loans" and some nice "discounts" on the real estate.
So the Republicans are the party of the rich? I guess the Demos are the party of the SUPER RICH!?!?
Republicans are mostly working class people. Demos are usually your super-rich or the sponges of society that think they're due something.
Zombi deserves a Pulitzer.
Great post. Nice pictures.
Good post. I absolutely can not stomach the leftist elites and their hypocracy. These people talk about "global warming" and that stuff, and I'll bet my evil assault SUV that they use up more energy that I do between the electric and natural gas bills.
I agree with the poster who suggested Zombie deserves a Pulitzer. He freakin' rocks.
Too bad the judges wouldn't recognize *real* journalism when they saw it...
Hypocrisy ping list needed!
Those people might find him to be useful when in office,but I can guarantee you that they don't want him living in the neighborhood after he's served his purpose.
I fail to understand how candidates like Obama and Clinton can condemn the super rich for not paying their fair share, dodging taxes and making life miserable for the working man and yet can eagerly go to functions like this with outstretched hands looking for donations and support. This is hypocrisy of the first order.
I love it.
It's better than lolcopters.
A+ post with perfectly tuned irreverence.
The weather bunny thing worked out after all.
I'm told he is a she.
And she rocks, no doubt. For this, and many other reports.
How many carbon credits offset one of them Limos? ROFL
Oh Boy!
Clean, unobstructed, very good report.
Kudos to the distinguished Zombie staff and jdm for this jewel.
I grew up in the east Bay Area and this picture really makes me home sick. Even being an ex-Californian it's easy to think there is nothing at all redeeming about the Golden State, but then you see pictures like this and it's no wonder that Reagan loved her so much.
Every time I'm back in the Bay Area, I have said many times "you know if this place weren't so $#@$#-ed up, I could live here again."
I was perusing a friend's website, and hit a link that took me to his at LGF.
Glad to find it posted.
Zombietime is one of the best at simple in depth reporting with quality pictures that tell the story quite well.
That was a wonderful post. I really enjoyed the pictures and commentary, especially the fashion observations.
I wonder if Obama brought the Che poster to this party?
Must drive Hillary crazy. The same SF elite crowd that was fawning and filling her pockets less than a year ago are now triping over themselves to back Barry. Getty's backing Obama now. Oh the loyalty of libs.............
I feel almost sorry for that kid that had to wear that lame sport coat and be dragged to a Obama fundraiser. He looked miserable.
Your point decribes the situation perfectly, but unfortunately the superb reporting and photos from zombietime will never see the daylight in the lamestream press. There is no change...hussein obama is just another player in the dark back room of politics...his only problem is that he isn't important enough to enter through the front door with all the other paying guests...he is just a another poor beggar politician who must use the servants' entrance...beggin' for bucks just like a true whore...what a f'n joke!!!!
Nice to see that Barack stopped to talk with the cop, the eccentric and those in Zombie's group.
You have more restraint than I do. I would have pointed out that if Barack Obama would have walked through that neighborhood four years ago wearing a FUBU jersey ringing doorbells, he'd have been in the back of the patrol cruiser of the cop you photographed him shaking hands with.
I's also like to know why Barack Obama didn't decide to make a side trip to shake hands for free in Hunter's Point while he was in San Francisco.
Obama hand in the cookie jar BUMP!
Same here.
While he had his hand out...did Obama happen to mention to these typical rich white people that his spiritual mentor hates them?
One of the greatest lies the liberals have ever put over their dumbed down liberal voters is how the Rat Party is made of little common guys, gals and its.
Out here in the Gay Frisco area, if a person is really rich both new and old money, they are probably uber liberal.
These a$$holes are among the most arrogant and demanding rectums of the world. Most have never really worked, raised a family, served in the military, worried about paying taxes and the costs of raising children and educating them.
These uber elites are fascists like those who controlled Germany, Italy and Spain in the late 1930's to the end of WWII. They are not socialists nor communists like those who serve them and voted for their candidates.
They hate capitalism as that could mean competition to their fortunes. They hate the military and a strong America.
They hate Christians and real Jews. They hate us probably more than anyone as we stand in the way them controlling America and the world totally.
fruits and nuts
A great find that needs hyper-bumping.
"We need more
white black people!"
Say what you will about Bay Area millionaires, at least they are making a sacrifice to back Obama — $4600 for the tickets, and $100k a year in higher taxes once he's reverted marginal rates and cap gain rates and converted dividends back to ordinary income. And the Getty's are going to be stuck with tens of millions in fees and costs to evade the hundreds of millions of estate taxes Obama will restore upon them.
Reserve your contempt for trial lawyers and unions who are going to get back $100 in benefits for every $1 in effort they give Obama.
You got THAT right! Zombie documented a huge number of DemocRAT voters in action last fall in the annual Folsom Street Parade. :)
Keep up the good work, Zombie!! DemocRATS are proud of their base.
makes you wonder what they are getting in return, doesn't it?
like, why would michael bloomberg or john corzine or any of these guys spend tens of millions of their own money in addition to funds raised, to get a $200-400k per year job? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........
Bump for the evening crew.
thanks Syncro.

one of the best articles I've read in a dang long time. Just a fun, well written good read.
I concur. That's the best media report of a fundraiser I've ever seen. In fact I think even the Obama-lovers at Rolling Stone would print it if you substituted Clinton's name (she was probably visiting last week) as they hate the limosine libs almost as much as the GOP.
As for the servants quarters, that is SOP for security reasons, nothing to do with race (though you can certainly draw whatever conclusions you like ). McCain would use the same entrance at Ellison's place down the street.

A dramatic finish in Salford saw Sale Sharks fight back to claim an important 21-16 win over Exeter Chiefs on Friday.
A dramatic finish in Salford saw Sale Sharks fight back to claim an important 21-16 win over Exeter Chiefs on Friday.
Mark Cueto, the former England wing, crossed in the left corner in the 53rd minute for his 76th Premiership try, surpassing ex-Sale team-mate Steve Hanley's record.
Sale trailed 13-5 at the break despite Daniel Braid's 17th-minute try but Cueto's effort sparked a comeback that earned the league's bottom side their third win of the season. They now trail London Irish, who have a game in hand, by one point.
Exeter dominated the opening period; Gareth Steenson kicked a pair of penalties and converted Watsoni Votu's 34th-minute try to build the visitors' lead, which had grown to 16-5 when Steenson added his third penalty early in the second half.
But Cueto's try was converted by Rob Miller and two penalties – one from Miller and the other via a post from Danny Cipriani – moved Sale in front for the first time after 64 minutes.
Nick Macleod's late drop goal padded the lead five points and the TMO ruled out an Exeter try for a forward pass with less than a minute on the clock as Sale held on.

For Sale:
Tries: Braid, Cueto
Con: Miller
Pens: Miller, Cipriani
Drop Goal: MacLeod
For Exeter:

Cleaning Myths—Busted
A laundry room has a way of collecting clutter—piles of dirty clothes, random coats and boots—that can quickly become an eyesore. "I kept the door closed so I wouldn't have to look at the mess," says Jennifer, of Sandy, UT. For an affordable fix, she built shelves below the counter, then removed the doors of an underused closet and installed cubbies for each of her four kids. Finally, a coat of paint, a mirror (repurposed from her bathroom) and a chandelier (from Craigslist) brightened up the windowless space. "Now I love spending time here, even though I'm folding clothes," she says.
Are you super-organized?
Tell us how you streamlined your space at email@example.com and you could appear in a future issue of Woman's Day. (Please type "I Got Organized" in the subject line.)
Jennifer, a craft and decorating blogger (TaterTotsandJello.com), labeled the cubbies so her kids can't pretend they don't know where stuff goes.
Jennifer's Tip: Assign numbers. Giving each child a numbered bin and cubby keeps things uniform. "I do call my children by their actual names," Jennifer says with a laugh.

At about 5.1 inches (13 cm) from crown to rump and weighing 4.9 ounces (140 grams), your baby is still very tiny.
The placenta, which nourishes the fetus with nutrients and oxygen and removes wastes, is growing to accommodate your baby. It now contains thousands of blood vessels that bring nutrients and oxygen from your body to your baby's developing body.
You may notice that your breasts have changed considerably since your pregnancy began. Hormones are preparing your breasts for milk production — more blood is flowing to the breasts, and the glands that produce milk are growing in preparation for breastfeeding. This can increase your breast size (many women increase one to two cup sizes) and cause veins to become visible. Buy supportive bras in a variety of sizes to accommodate your breast growth during pregnancy.

It can be said that there is too much violence on TV. Some people do not realize the amount of violence that is actually there until they try this test. Turn on the tv and flip through the channels and no doubt almost one third of all the channels will be displaying acts of violence.
Even when people are just watching the news there are plenty of violent instances displayed. It is almost impossible to watch the nightly news channel without being informed of several violent stories.The full explanation can be found at href='http://dawn.com/2012/05/21/the-flip-side-of-domestic-violence/'>http://dawn.com/2012/05/21/the-flip-side-of-domestic-violence/
One would think that at least children's cartoons should be free of violence but this is not the case. Many children's cartoons even incorporate violence in every episode.
It can be said that violence captures peoples attention which is why it is so often on television. It is sometimes better to protect young children and the family from so much toxic violence by watching carefully selected movies instead of flipping through the channels to see so much violence.
Watching violent things can interfere with how people are feeling in their daily lives. To avoid intercepting these violent feelings and visions try switching off the television or watching non violent channels as an alternative.

Last month, I wrote about the necessity of developing and documenting your business plan. This month, and for the next four months to come, I plan to write about its components. This month: Market analysis.
Your market analysis may be the most important part. Done properly, it gives you a feasibility test about your concept, a basis for testing your plan with real potential clients, a touchstone for advertising, and a vehicle for talking with employees. It also helps you define your most efficient marketing programs, as we shall see.
Market analysis needs to be done by you. Why pay a proxy to learn all about your market when you are the one who needs the knowledge? In the past couple of weeks, I have gained a client who came to SCORE to help her write a plan after she had invested $2,500 with a consultant to do the same. Only one big problem: the consultant's definition of the market was not the same as my client's; hence, the analysis was well done but for the wrong market. That means $2,500 mostly wasted.
A market analysis should start with a general description of the market you intend to serve, and it should stress your unique advantages (what differentiates you). That should be followed by a segmentation of the market. For example, if you plan a bricks and mortar outlet, then that would include any potential customer within some radius measured in miles and probably further segmented by age group.
Then you need to describe in precise detail the area and characteristics of the market you intend to serve. For example, I have a Korean client about 50 years old who has taken care of his 91-year-old indigent father for several years. He plans to start a geriatric care business catering to elder Koreans in the Denver area. Also, I have two police officer clients nearing retirement who plan to start a uniform and accessories business for Denver-metro area officers. These clients have a great deal of personal knowledge and a unique idea (that I will not disclose) that will stand them in good stead.
Notice that these clients have well-defined, specific market segments -- Korean elders in Denver metro and police departments in the area -- that will help them focus their marketing efforts.
Most of my clients have a service component in their business concepts -- sometimes it's all service. Service deserves a specific analysis; Can you charge for it and if so how much, what are the competing services, how will you deliver your services, what part of your P & L do your services contribute? Does your service require any special government licensing such as health care; who pays, the client, insurance carrier or a government?
You will need a description of the intermediate influence on the buyers in your market such as dealers, distributors, sales reps, trade associations, etc.
You will need to analyze the present and future competitive conditions in your market. If you enter will a well-established competitor cut prices to wipe you out?
What are the present and anticipated governmental influences? I have a client that has a very bright idea that centers on the use of photo-voltaic solar cells. The viability of the concept and his customers' business cases depends on continued government support (tax breaks) for alternative energy users.
What are the present and anticipated pricing conditions in your targeted market segment?
A good way to paint this picture is to describe the history of similar products and/or services if there is one.
Market analysis sounds like a daunting task and it needs to be done by you. So how does one go about it? First, construct an outline of what you want to find out and then turn to resources all around you. Much of the information you need can be found online -- try Google and/or www.bizminer.com/. Many local libraries have business reference sections.
In Denver we are fortunate to have a very good one and an outreach librarian who is a friend of SCORE. Much of the data is online and access requires a free library card. Other good sources include chambers of commerce, industry journals, industry conferences during which expert articles are frequently presented, financial journals and articles, the Federal Government's Standard Industry Classifications, Federal Reserve Board publications and competition (out of your immediate territory) are a few. If you use statistics from external sources, please remember to site the reference and the date of the data.
If you do a good job of market analysis then the next piece the marketing plan, the subject of next month's article is much easier.

The 2014 wildfire season got off to a ferocious start in southern California and northwestern Mexico when record-breaking temperatures and powerful Santa Ana winds fueled at least nine fires between May 14–16. Cal Fire estimated that by the morning of May 16, more than 19,000 acres (7,700 hectares) had burned, and news reports said that more than 100,000 people were forced to evacuate at various points over the past few days.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite detected several fires in San Diego County on May 14, 2014. MODIS also observed large fires burning in the Baja California region of Mexico. Red outlines indicate hot spots where the sensor detected unusually warm surface temperatures associated with fires. Winds blew thick plumes of smoke west over the Pacific Ocean.
According to Cal Fire, the Pulgas fire had charred 8,000 acres and was just 5 percent contained by the morning of May 16. The Cocos/San Marcos Fire had burned 3,018 acres and was 10 percent contained. The Tomahawk fire, which includes part of the U.S. Marines Camp Pendleton, had burned 6,300 acres and was 23 percent contained. More than 1,500 acres were consumed by the Bernardo fire, which was 90 percent contained. At the time of published, Earth Observatory could not find ground-based information on the fires in Mexico.
Drought has plagued the western United States—especially central and southern California—for months, priming vegetation for wildfires. By mid-May, the entire state was classified as being in some level of drought (ranging from severe to exceptional), according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. To break the drought, most of the state would need 9 to 15 inches (23 to 38 centimeters) of precipitation to fall in one month, Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters estimated. That would amount to more than a half-year's worth of precipitation for most of the state.
Aqua MODIS captured a second image of the California fires on May 15.

Wednesday night 1st of March CET we will initiate a maintenance work on the forum. You can expect some disturbance in the Forum functions and design.

Thanks for your understanding.
I use a Samsung Galaxy S2 running Gingerbread 2.3.6. When using my Sony MW600 BT headset, I am unable to hear the caller's voice on ANY call. Instead, I hear my own voice echoed back to me. The caller can hear me well and I can use the headset to listen to music and the radio ithout any issues.
I have reset the headset and my phone, and tried all possible setting combinations to no avail. Please help.
Hi, it could be a compatibility issue (not sure). Do you have any Xperia phone to test? That will definitely confirm whether the headset is faulty.
If not, visit the Service Centre, you should be able to test it with their Xperia phone.
Thank you for your quick reply.
I actually did a little in-depth troubleshooting and found the root cause of the issue.
I have a call recording app that records calls using the AudioUplink on my phone. Turning it off or changing the settings to record AudioDownlink resolved the issue.
Tried a few test calls, everything worked fine. Kudos on an extremely well made Bluetooth Headset. It's exactly what I was looking for.
Please include Samsung Galaxy S2 (I-9100) in your compatible phones list.
Working features:
Voice commands
Hold Call, redial Last Call, Mute Call
Play/Pause, Next Track, Previous Track, Forward, Rewind
Audio file title displays when using the stock Android music player
Contact phone number displays
Non-Working features:
Does not display audio file title when using PowerAMP music player (did not test other players)
Contact Name does not display
I hope this information helps in whatever way possible.
Glad that you have a workaround ....
For info, I think those 2 Non-working features that you have mentioned are the same with Xperia phones.

Risk assessment is the process the U.S. EPA uses to determine if and to what extent the public is at risk from toxic air pollutants.
The risk assessment process has four parts:
Air Toxics Risk Assessment Reference Library The U. S. EPA is currently developing an air toxics risk assessment (ATRA) reference library for conducting air toxics analyses at the facility-scale and community-scale. The resulting three volume library will provide information on the fundamental principles of risk-based assessment for air toxics, application of those principles in different settings, and strategies for reducing risk at the local level. Two volumes are complete and the third is expected by the end of 2005.

New York ranks as the 7th best place for a summer road trip, new information from WalletHub reports.
WalletHub—a social website launched by Evolution Finance that offers financial tools and information for consumers and small-business owners—used 21 key metrics to compare the 50 states for its 2014's Best & Worst States for Summer Road Trips. The report considers various conditions that can affect travelers on the road, including driving costs, lodging prices, traffic safety, weather and attractions.
New York ranked first for its number of attractions and second for its vehicle miles traveled per capita. The state ranked fifth for the least car thefts per capita and 45th for lowest price of three-star hotels.
The state ranked 42nd for its average gas prices and 35th for the number of nightlife options per capita, the report shows.
Overall, Oregon ranked first on the list, while Mississippi ranked last.
The report notes that during hotter months traveling and gas prices tend to climb, peaking in August. Domestic and international travelers spent $621.4 billion on leisure travel last year, the study shows, and in 2012 some 79 percent of all domestic leisure trips were by car.

St. Michael, Heaven's glorious Commissioner of Police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eyes on you earthly force. Give us cool heads, stout hearts, hard punches, an uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgment. Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptation. You know Saint Michael, from your own experiences with the devil that the policeman's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration. And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your Heavenly Force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city.

Perfect Slip n' Go Shoe
"I've had a couple pairs of the Roxy Minnow Flats and I love them - they are the perfect slip on and go pair of shoes...the sole is designed for indoor/outdoor wear but I wear mostly around the house as a slipper - The fuzzy lining and loose fit is what sells me on these shoes - I like that they don't fit perfectly - so if I'm wearing socks and need to go outside, I can slip them on and go - but just as comfy barefoot - and since the fur inside isn't so thick, they work just as well in winter as they do in the warmer months!"

Second Pair!
"These are the second pair of Minnow Flats I bought this week. These had a fur lining so I figured they would keep my feet a bit warmer once November comes around. They do run a bit long as with all of the Roxy flat shoes. I own three pairs and everyone is a little long. Although these are comfortable I think the non fur lined pair are a little more comfy."

Glasgow Warriors took a big step towards securing a Pro12 play-off place with a hard-fought 13-8 away win over Treviso.
Glasgow Warriors took a big step towards securing a Pro12 play-off place with a hard-fought 13-8 away win over Treviso.
Glasgow were looking to bounce back from last week's narrow defeat to Munster, while Treviso headed into the game on the back of a morale-boosting victory away at the Dragons.
The Italians crossed for the first try following a tense opening ten minutes when Brendan Williams showed great pace to touchdown after making the initial break on half-way.
Chris Burton couldn't add the extras. Duncan Weir booted over Glasgow's first points of the afternoon on 20 minutes, taking the visitors to within two points, but they were unable to add to their tally before half-time.
There were no further points scored by Treviso either, although there was drama on the half-hour mark when home scrum-half Edoardo Gori and Glasgow's Alastair Kellock were sin-binned following a fracas.
The match had become a real war of attrition, with neither side threatening to take the game by the scruff of the neck.
Treviso held onto their slender advantage until well into the second half, although Weir's second penalty of the afternoon just before the hour edged Glasgow in front for the first time.
The ding-dong battle continued 15 minutes later when a Burton penalty regained the advantage for the hosts, before Glasgow's D.T.H. van der Merwe crossed for the match-winning score just four minutes from time.
The South African-born Canadian international showed great determination to touch down in the corner for a crucial try, which Ruaridh Jackson converted, and there was no time for a Treviso fightback.

Tries: Williams
Pens: Burton

Scarlets host Exeter Chiefs on Saturday with both sides hunting their first Heineken Cup victory of the 2012/13 competition.
Scarlets play host to Exeter Chiefs on Saturday with both sides hunting their first Heineken Cup victory this season
A bonus-point victory is a must if either side hopes to stay in touch in Clermont and Leinster.
Exeter have yet to score a try in this Pool but won't have a better chance to do that than against the Scarlets who have leaked the most in the group.
The Scarlets have lost five or their last Heineken Cup six matches but welcome back six of their Welsh internationals into the starting line-up.
And they will be looking to give their loyal supporters an early Christmas present with a big European win at their home ground, as they add to a strong home record this season with a victory at the last game of 2012 at Parc y Scarlets.
A warm welcome back to heart and soul rugby country will await popular international Scarlets Jonathan Davies, Scott Williams, Liam Williams, Matthew Rees, Rhys Priestland, Aaron Shingler, Tavis Knoyle, Sione Timani, and young tight head prop call-up Samson Lee.
With under a week to integrate the international players back into the fold, forwards coach Danny Wilson said it was a challenge for all Welsh regions but one they had to get on with.
He added that selection had been tough this week following the strong performances shown by the wider squad during the international window and it was a balancing act between injecting individual international-class quality alongside in-form Scarlets players who had been performing well for their region in recent weeks.
"We knew from the outset how tight it would be for us bringing back the internationals as we go into these double headers in Europe. Of course it's difficult with just a week's prep and with the intensity of international rugby and how that impacts the players bodies," he said.
"But you just get on with it – it's a another challenge you face and all that really matters is getting a result on Saturday and for our players returning it's another big, intense game of rugby."
In the backs centre Jonathan Davies captains the side alongside centre partner, Scott Williams; young Carmarthen scrum-half Aled Davies (20) gets a huge opportunity with his first European start, with Rhys Priestland controlling at 10, Dan Newton at full-back and Liam Williams and Andy Fenby on the wings.
Meanwhile, Exeter coach Rob Baxter has tinkered last week's winning line-up slightly with recalls in the pack for Simon Alcott, Hoani Tui, Damian Welch and Tom Johnson; whilst behind Gonzalo Camacho and Sireli Naqelevuki are also included from the outset.
"We never entered the Heineken Cup saying it is all about where we end up in the table," said the Chiefs coach.
"What we said was that we will give it a real go in every game and that I want to make sure the players experience everything that can from the Heineken Cup."
The teams:
Scarlets: 15 Dan Newton, 14 Liam Williams, 13 Jonathan Davies (capt), 12 Scott Williams, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Rhys Priestland, 9 Aled Davies, 8 Kieran Murphy, 7 Johnathan Edwards, 6 Aaron Shingler, 5 Richard Kelly, 4 George Earle, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Matthew Rees, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Shaun Hopkins, 18 Jacobie Adriaanse, 19 Johan Synman, 20 Sione Timani, 21 Tavis Knoyle, 22 Aled Thomas, 23 Gareth Maule.
Exeter: 15 Luke Arscott, 14 Gonzalo Camacho, 13 Sireli Naqelevuki, 12 Jason Shoemark, 11 Matt Jess, 10 Gareth Steenson, 9 Haydn Thomas, 8 Richard Baxter, 7 James Scaysbrook, 6 Tom Johnson, 5 Damian Welch, 4 Tom Hayes (capt), 3 Hoani Tui, 2 Simon Alcott, 1 Brett Sturgess.
Replacements: 16 Neil Clark, 17 Ben Moon, 18 Carl Rimmer, 19 Aly Muldowney, 20 Dean Mumm, 21 Kevin Barrett, 22 Ignacio Mieres, 23 Ian Whitten.
Date: Saturday, December 8
Venue: Parc y Scarlets
Kick-off: 13:35 GMT
Referee: Mathieu Raynal (France)

The Midweek Moan: You can move a club miles from Wimbledon but you can't take its soul
13:01 05 December 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Welcome to London24's weekly column taking a frustrated look at the world of sport and having a good old rant to get it off our chests. This week, the MK Dons and other sporting changes that don't cut the mustard...
"I prefer going to grounds like Anfield, Hillsborough or Brunton Park than the likes of stadium:mk, which is still half-built and an out-of-town soulless bowl"
Sunday's FA Cup second round game between AFC Wimbledon and Milton Keynes Dons was dubbed by some football fans as a battle between good and evil, such was the history of the two sides, borne from the relocation and subsequent demise of the old Wimbledon FC.
As the record books now show, the Buckinghamshire Dons prevailed, but the controversial first ever meeting between the two rivals in the five-year-old stadium:mk just brought to light another off-shoot of modern sporting developments – a lack of character.
No amount of modern stadium architecture can account for that special feature.
I prefer going to grounds like Anfield, Hillsborough or Brunton Park than the likes of stadium:mk, which is still half-built and an out-of-town soulless bowl.
That ground is by no means alone with the Darlington Arena – opened nine years ago in the north-east - suffering the same problem.
It's bizarre finding yourself in a 25,000 capacity ground with only 3,000 fans in attendance.
And it's the worst feeling when you can see the ground from the train and then it travels for another few minutes to pull into the station, meaning a long walk for all concerned.
Give me a cramped, run-down stadium with history any day of the week.
It's the same at Wembley – the arch just doesn't have the same impact of the old twin towers.
Arsenal could have fallen foul to a similar problem when it came to moving from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium. However, with some work they were able to recreate the history of their old home with pictures and statues of former players.
It's not just football though. Formula 1 is the same with many of the newer tracks lacking the prestige and character of the older, more traditional circuits. The facilities at Monza might not be the greatest but the place is steeped in history, while Silverstone has thankfully kept its character despite a redesign. But when they did the same to Hockenheim they took away its allure.
I associate the German circuit with the old format of blasting through the forest at 200 miles an hour. In 2008, I had a brilliant view at the hairpin, from a wooden terrace, of Lewis Hamilton putting all his rivals to shame in a brilliant comeback drive from fifth to first in dry conditions over 20 breathless laps.
But, I digress. Back in Milton Keynes last weekend for AFC Wimbledon's last-gasp 2-1 defeat there was another modern football irritant – after-goal music.
When the hosts scored their goals against AFC Wimbledon, and despite the press box being in amongst the home supporters, all I could hear was the tannoy blasting out pop-rock song Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis.
The first time I went to stadium:mk in 2008 the same song was played and it was all I could hear from the away end. I'd rather hear ecstatic fans than some song that was good the first couple of times, but now old and stale.
The same applies for musical instruments in football crowds. I don't want to hear a beat of a drum or a bell being rung for 90 minutes either. Anfield doesn't need a drum to create an atmosphere – why should other clubs need one?

Bowing down to dog lovers this takes the cake as Distortions says they will pull the prop... I would tell them to take their dog for a walk into a lake and stop picking on small business owners. These people are idiots!
Check this out folks
A bunch of stupid dog lovers are trying to make Distortions stop selling a PROP of a dead dog and Distortions gave in... whats next a dead body, an electric chair what?
Post on there and call these morons what they are morons!
Bowing down to dog lovers this takes the cake as Distortions says they will pull the prop... I would tell them to take their dog for a walk into a lake and stop picking on small business owners. These people are idiots!
It is hard to argue with STUPID. It is like banging your head up against the wall. I don't think Distortions should pull the prop. "If you don't like the show turn the channel!"
If you give in on this one thing they will want more. I really can't believe Ed would turn his back on items that made him what he is. He may as well gut half his line. As for the "Animal Lovers" that feel offended get a life. I would say that 99% of these people are not his target audience anyway. His continuing success with Making Monsters is proof enough of that. I love animals too but I am not STUPID enough to be offended by a fake prop. Yes STUPID
Yah, you'd think that activist had more...constructive things to do than to put the pressure on Ed and his crew. That's pretty lame. It's a hard spot for Ed though - because he may have felt like he was in a no-win situation. On one hand he has an activist group breathing down his neck and on the other the haunt industry. Either way you piss someone off.
I'd think though that activist have some more "real" problems to fight, like you know, actual abuse on animals...not a Halloween prop.
Just my meager $0.02
-Mike Ruyle
All I can say is, has Ed become a TV star and not a prop builder. The only reason to give in is to satisfy the viewers of the TV show, not haunters. If his concerns were for the people that buy his products this would not be a consideration. Sorry Ed but when ratings are more important than artistic freedoms then it may be time to decide if you are a hauter or a TV personality. They tried to do the same with the guys from Duck Dynasty and their response was shove it where the sun don't shine. Maybe you could send the molds over to Creepy Colection or Dark Ride and they can make them, I am sure they won't bow down for TV ratings. I just lost a little respect for the Distortions crew, I thought they were hard core horror guys, but I was wrong.
Maybe a good time for a prop maker to make a new dead dog to grab national attention. Way to get in the spotlight and the majority of peeps would think these nuts are nuts! Free marketing!
It seems like its deeper then what we thought...Almost like the people put pressure on Walmart...who then turned around and said well its Morris..Morris then turned and said its Distortions....I can see Morris saying something to Ed because they dont wanna loose the walmart account...therefore making Distortions buckle and pull the prop
I can't even believe someone would give into this... Distortions made a HUGE mistake worrying about what 50 idiots think about their dog prop. Its really no different than what you see when we open haunted houses and call them Asylum... we get the mental health advocates calling the local media. Screw them also... what pisses me off to no end is they pick on us but they dont' go after Arkham Asylum Video game or the countless movies where they say a nut job is a serial killer... no just pick on haunted houses because we are easy PR. I say stand up to these morons and turn it around on them! Stand up for what you believe in just like many people stood up for what they believed in before you...
These dog lovers are morons. I own a dog and I love my dog, and never would I think a skinned dog prop made from latex has anything to do with animal cruelty. Furthermore let me just say Ghost Ride is going out of business flat out if they gave into these types of demands half their line is skinned animals. I can't believe Distortions would give into these fools... take a stand tell them to go walk their dog!
