Death is never easy, particularly when the loved one lives far away. One of the hardest choices someone might have to make is deciding if it’s feasible to travel halfway across the globe to pay respects.
Soon you may be able to witness the final send off without traveling any farther than your computer.

Each year on the third Monday of January schools, federal offices, post office and banks across America close as we celebrate the birth, the life and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As with most holidays, Google gives tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. with a special logo:
It’s a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought. A time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality and dignity of all races and peoples. A time to remember the message of change through nonviolence.
Dr. King sought to forge the common ground on which people from all walks of life could join together to address important community issues.
Working alongside individuals of all ages, races and backgrounds, Dr. King encouraged Americans to come together to strengthen communities, alleviate poverty, and acknowledge dignity and respect for all human beings. Service, he realized, was the great equalizer.
Today we celebrate the 21st anniversary of the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday, hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country will remember and memorialize Dr. King by participating in service projects in their communities.
The pilot pickup season began in earnest Tuesday, January 3, 2007 with NBC green lighting three one-hour projects, including a new take on “The Bionic Woman.”
For those of you who don’t remember this show or never heard of it, here is a YouTube clip from the introduction of the original TV series:
I’m a child of the 1970’s and I remember watching this TV show as a kid.
Thinking about it, the show was way ahead of it’s time with the things they used as subject matter.
Back in the early 1970’s it was all fictional things but today in 2007 it’s more of a reality.
The funny thing is 30+ years later, the star of the Bionic Woman Lindsay Wagner can now be seen doing Sleep Number Bed commercials :)
The original series, a spin-off from “The Six Million Dollar Man,” starred Lindsay Wagner as a woman whose body is mechanically enhanced to save her life. It ran on ABC and then NBC for three seasons in the mid-1970s. NBC’s order is contingent on casting.
Ah Christmas. The tree, the stockings, the mistletoe and - of course - the holiday television programming.
Some of my fondest Christmas memories were spent in front a of television watching such classics as the animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or one of the myriad versions of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”.
If you can only watch a few holiday specials, these are the ones to watch in my book:
It’s a Wonderful Life
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Frosty the Snowman
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
The Year Without a Santa Claus

November 10th, 1775, the Second Continental Congress resolved to raise two battalions of Continental Marines marking the birth of our United States Marine Corps.
As Major General Lejeune’s message reminds us, the ensuing generations of Marines would come to signify all that is highest in warfighting excellence and military virtue.
Each November as Marines the world over celebrate the birth of our Corps, we pay tribute to that long line of “Soldiers of the Sea” and the illustrious legacy they have handed down to us.
