if we entered a weekly drawing before can we enter again? I ask because I have entered before and I am signed up to receive emails. Just now when I tried to enter this drawing, after clicking the submit button this was displayed: "Your response has already been submitted once". However, I have not entered this weeks contest.

Thought I'd share this news that just popped up on my facebook wall. Apparently Pittsburgh is dedicating a 10'10" high statue of Mr Rogers and the WQED PBS station is renaming their studio after the famed Host.

Fairly kewl, thought I'd share with your PBSers :):)

It's a Shame that you don't do news. ;)

A youth minister in Centerville Tx left at 5:45pm telling parents kids would be back by 10pm to go get signatures from Chuck Norris in college station. parents were at church and in terror about where their kids were when 11pm rolle dby and not there. They didnt get back until 1:30am!.. Elementary and jr high kids out on a school night? This youth minister should have his head checked! He was way beyond his approved time and he's luicky the cops werent called on him. It was gross incompetence and he should be removed as youth leader.

I was up late talking with these parents and googling contacts to reach the church Pastor and anyone that might have data. Found out that the lines were 300+ long and I told the parents I bet the youth leader wanted the signature himself and waited. Now 5:45p leave time. 3 hr drive round trip. 300 people in line at 1 minute each person is +5 hrs.. 1:45am.. pretty close to what occurred. When I contacted the store and found them still open at 11:30pm, the store wouldnt check the line for the youth minister but said the line was still long. I informed the parents of the info. ...

Having kids out past your allotted agree permissible time is akin to kidnapping and causing terror on parents. Each parent should have been contacted about the delay and permission requested. if any 1 parent said no, he should have left. I am appalled at him actions!

If any of you are christian and find this irreprehensible, I implore you to contact the pastor of that church.

Mike Snow I am so disappointed that the premiere of Houston Arts Television ran without sound. What happened?

We are, too, Mike. We're still investigating the cause. We believe something happened during the captioning process. The show will air again on November 18 at 9:30pm. It's a great show. Everyone should watch it.
