Red Hat Linux is cheaper to run than Windows Server
According to Red Hat
LINUX DISTRIBUTOR Red Hat has commissioned some researchers to blow its trumpet for it, revealing that the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of an IT infrastructure based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux is cheaper than one based on Microsoft Windows Server.
The figures weren't just minor improvements, with 34 percent TCO savings that meant "superior operational efficiencies and could support more users and that the superior scale and density of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platforms translated directly into lower overall infrastructure costs".
While the INQUIRER is aware that Red Hat wouldn't have sent us the report if it wasn't good news for it, we're interested to know what firm carried out the research, as having read the white paper we only found reference to "a premier global market intelligence firm". Why didn't it want to be named?
The study, which is based on a range of setups in different comparable industries and locales around the world, shows significiant cost savings. The topline figures show a 29 percent savings in infrastructure costs, a 41 percent savings in IT staffing costs, and a staggering 54 percent improvement in productivity.
Although we know that this is a glorified sales brochure, these figures make for interesting reading at a time when budgets are being squeezed everywhere. Red Hat believes that this level of TCO savings will enable IT managers to innovate and move forward, rather than simply "keep the lights on". µ

Saturday the people of Aurelia were startled with the news that the store operated by Geo. Garber had been entered during the preceding night and about $200.00 worth of silk, fifteen dollars in cash, two hand grips, one suit case and a lot of men's furnishings taken. The robbery was not discovered until nearly eight o'clock when Mr. Garber arrived at the store.
He was attracted by some wrappings which were littered on the floor and upon closer investigation found that all his silk was gone, and on further examination found the other things missing we have mentioned. Whoever did the trick was either well acquainted with the store or were expert at the business and the latter is probably true.
The store was entered by one of the front doors which had been carefully locked after the thieves got when they wanted. The back doors were bolted so no one could enter without injuring the fastenings. The cash register which contained the money was also opened without injuring it in any way. The combination of the register might have been discovered by accident, but experts would probably have little trouble in discovering it.
At first it was thought the work had been done by some Jews who had been paddling silks and dress goods through the country the day before, but these were found at Sac City where they were searched and the officers soon convinced they were not the parties wanted. Clues at Omaha and Sioux City were also investigated, but nothing has so far come of the search.
After the officers and the proprietor had left for Sac City to find the Jews it was discovered by Alex McKinnon, a mail carrier, that an auto had been left on the east side of town during the night and that it had started east. On account of the rain it is certain the track had only been made a short time before but he failed to report the matter until after he returned in the afternoon from his trip.
From the way the car slid around on the road it must have been soon after the rain and the way the driver got off the road shows that he was a stranger or had no lights. It is now supposed the parties came in the auto and left it on the outskirts of town and after making the raid returned to it and made their escape. Since so many miles can be covered in such a short time with a machine it is likely the thieves were a hundred miles away when the robbery was discovered.
Aurelia has a good night watch who said he had examined every door about 10 o'clock the evening before, going around again at twelve o'clock. Although he flashed his light into the windows he did not see anyone or did not hear anyone during the night. He also says he met every train the came in and saw that no one came or left on thems.
Mrs. Florence Lingwood, Miss Elenor Stevenson and Earl Herine have been named to supervise the girls' play program here, Mrs. Francis Naulteus has announced. The three were in LeMars Tuesday attending a school of instruction under the direction of Miss Claudine Humble, district supervisor of recreation.
With opening day, June 1, less than three weeks away, Wa-tan-ye club Tuesday issued a general appeal for donations of play equipment for the new girls' playground at Wescott park.
The project is sponsored by the organization, headed by Mrs. Francis Naulteus, committee chairman.
Mrs. Naulteus said Tuesday the club would appreciate gifts of volley balls, soft balls, soccer balls, bats, sets of one-half pound horseshoes, croquet sets, volleyball and tennis nets, tennis balls, coping saws and blades, hammers, pincers, pen-knives, screw-drivers, tin snips, jumping ropes, scissors, crayons, paints and varnishes and paint brushes. She said all of these articles are necessary and are needed immediately. Anyone having something to donate, is asked to call the Chamber of Commerce if they cannot bring it to the Chamber offices, and someone will be sent out after it.
If anyone has equipment which could be repaired, the committee will be glad to get it and make the necessary repairs.
Seventeen schools within a 23 mile radius of Cherokee have been invited to attend a "Play-Day" celebration to be staged here Saturday by members of the Wilson high school Girls' Athletic association, Miss Helen Kurtz, instructor, has announced.
Emphasizing the event is not for inter-school competition, Miss Kurtz declared its purposed was "play for play's sake," She said the girls hoped to make it an annual affair.
"It gives the GAA an opportunity to be hostess to girls of other schools like the boys are hosts to boys of other schools in their track meets," Miss Kurtz said.
Wilson high school girls are scheduled to give instruction in volleyball to visiting schools during the morning session. In the afternoon, track and field events will be held.
Officials are: Mary Taylor, clerk of course; Katherine Soth, head finish judge; Vera Pratt, assistant; Mary Berne, head starter; Cleda Wellborth and Alice Jones, event judges.
An informal dance in the high school gymnasium during the evening will conclude the program.
A number of new sales department promotions and appointments have been announced by Lundell Manufacturing Company, Inc., Cherokee, according to Warren Held, direct field sales manager.
Gary Pittman, former sales office manager, has been named direct factory representative for southwestern Iowa to replace Loren Guiter, who has been named direct factory representative for the state of Indiana.
Sterling Johnson, former Worthington, Minn., implement dealer, has been appointed direct factory representative for Northwest Iowa and Gene Finch, former distributor for Wisconsin, has been named manufacturer's representative for that state.
Russell Stratton, Lundell general sales manager, said these appointments and promotions are a part of Lundell Mfg. Company's extensive program of bringing about a closer relationship between factory and dealer in sales and service contacts by working on a direct sales basis through factory employed sales people who live and work in the areas they represent. This program has already proven itself in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, South Dakota, Arizona, California, Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana.
Lundell Mfg., Co., Inc., manufactures a full line of field-to-feed lot farming systems, including the new field watering system, marketed on a world-wide basis.
Plans have been made by the fathers of PeeWees and other interested sports enthusiasts to sponsor two dances simultaneously for the benefit of the summer PeeWee baseball program.
These dances will be held at VFW Hall and Eagles Hall on Thursday, May 17, commencing at 9 p.m.
Bob Conley's Combo will play at the VFW and Al Holler's band at the Eagles. The services of these two groups and the use of the halls have been donated for this worthwhile project.
All proceeds will be used to purchase bats, balls, and other equipment for the betterment of the league.
Boys participating in the baseball program will sell the dollar donation dance tickets from door to door starting this Saturday evening.
These youngsters will be under the direct supervision of Hal Scott, Walt Starkey, Wayne Murrell and Rob Curran on the east side of town. Don Groff, Marty Anderson, Don Campbell, and Don Campbell Jr., will be in charge of the west side of town. Tickets may also be purchased form the following individuals: Frank Phipps, Beryl Simmons, Emmett Holton, John Dean, Gary Jobe, Kenny Rupp.
The sponsors ask residents to leave their porch lights on Saturday evening until they have been contacted. Sales will be made between 6 and 8:30 p.m.
Remodeling the secondary roads building is going to cost more than county officials expected.
The estimated cost of the project was $25,000, which allowed the board of supervisors to accept quotes for the project instead of going through a formal bidding process.
However, on Monday the one quote the board received for the project came in at $59,780.
The board rejected the quote, which was from Grundman-Hicks Construction of Cherokee, and directed county engineer Al Loebig to make alterations on the project specifications and then begin a formal bidding process.
The alteration in the specifications will allow Grundman-Hicks to submit a new bid on the project.
The project involved three phases: Removing the present office area at the secondary roads building; extending a wall through the building and then constructing a new office area, and doing interior work.
Grundman-Hicks' quoted $27,330 for Phase I and III and $35,030 for Phase II. The firm quoted the $59,780 figure if hired to do all three phases.
Lynn Meikle, assistant to the engineer, said that in figuring the $25,000 estimate he was unsure of the cost of building the steel office structure and how much a contractor's labor costs would be.
The project was expected to begin in one or two weeks with completion targeted for August. However, because the county will have to go through a formal bidding process, the project will be delayed a few weeks, Meikle said.
The secondary roads building is being remodeled so diesel fumes will not float form the shop area into the office area. The building has had a problem with this for several years, and the county has received a number of complaints about it. The extension of the wall through the building will create a hallway between the shop and office areas. The areas are now separate by a wall.
The remodeling will also create extra storage room at the building, including a vault for irreplaceable documents.
In other business, the board:
* Accepted a $1,575 bid from Haselhoff Construction, Cherokee, for the remodeling of the courthouses' magistrate court office. The magistrate's office will be moved into the former sheriff's office, next to the board of supervisors' meeting room. The Homemaker Health office will then be moved into the former magistrate's office next to the Public Health Nurses' office.
* Approved the purchase of a new Motorola communication system for the secondary roads department. The system will cost $43,558. Sioux Valley Communications will have the installation and maintenance contract for the system.
* Decided to have the U.S. Post Office install mailboxes in the courthouse. The boxes will be for the various county offices in the courthouse. The board decided to install in the boxes after meeting with Jerry Phipps, Cherokee postmaster. Some county offices now have separate boxes at the post office. These will be eliminated with the boxes at the courthouse. Each box at the post office now costs $243 a year.
* Approved a cigarette license for Casey's General Store, Marcus.

Faculty Gives Yale a Dose of Dissent Over Singapore
Rendering by Yale-NUS College
By TAMAR LEWIN
Published: April 4, 2012
NEW HAVEN — Yale announced a year ago that it was creating the "first new college to bear the Yale name in 300 years" at the National University of Singapore, and last week, after reviewing 2,500 applications, it sent out the first handful of faculty job offers for Yale-N.U.S. College.
So it is distinctly awkward timing that members of the Yale College faculty, which never voted on the plan, are now raising concerns about joining their storied institution with an autocratic city-state where drug offenses can bring the death penalty, homosexual relations are illegal and criminal defamation charges are aggressively pursued.
On campus, there is a whiff of a Yale Spring, a slow awakening — at a university with no faculty senate — to faculty discontent. Many Yale professors are unhappy about the absence of a vote on the Singapore project, while some go further and attack it as a dangerous collaboration with a government that does not support the broad freedoms they believe are central to liberal arts education.

You say you "had" and icloud account. Do you not have it any more?
Anyway, do the following test... using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com with your ID. Go to the contacts page.
If the contacts are there, then on the device, Go to Settings>icloud, turn off contacts and back on. Does that solve it?
If the contacts are gone, then since you have made a recent backup to itunes or icloud, perform a restore.
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
This link gives another overview of backup and restore:
HOWEVER... you may run into a snag, namely when the newly restored data is downloaded, an automatic icloud sync may occur that will wipe out any Apple data (contacts, calendars, etc) that was restored. If you have such an issue, read the following that describes restoring contacts. The info will also pertain to other Apple data.

Before doing anything extreme, do the following:
Go to Settings > iCloud, and make sure you are logged in to the same iCloud account as in the past. Also make sure that contacts are enabled.
Then open "contacts" app, touch Groups in upper left, and assure that your iCloud account is checked.

I'm having the same problem. I've opened a ticket with apple. I delete the icloud account and add it again.

I've experiecned the same panic twice now. I notice when my calls and messages come from just numbers.
Looking in the Contacts app, I have zero addresses. The first time, several of the features in the iCloud settings screen were turned off even though they had previously been on. Yesterday, the toggle was on, but my contacts were gone. Swiping it off and back to on reloaded them.
I'm also periodically having issues with icloud backups. When I wake up, my phone says it needs the password again.

I know it's a pain but call apple so they can get some more data on this and hopefuly try and resolve this quickly. There is no Developer realease of 7.0.3 so they aren't even externally testing things.
Moog1337 Sep 30, 2013 5:45 PM
in response to Sicembears
there are more people with this problem
check out this thread to join the conversation
Like Sicembears said, call apple so they are more aware of this problem and have more people to troubleshoot with.

They know there is a problem they caused and they are not going to fix it
That's good
On another post they say to just turn off and turn back on
I was lucky I had mine on a iPad
Since the update it had defaulted to backing up to iTunes
I was use to it going to the cloud I had cleaned up the cloud ready for a new backup
My horror it was not there

S oI am having the same issue...which appears to have affected all my NOTES as well. I had turned off the icloud backup feature on the iphone for the contacts but was too late for the notes and it appears ALL , EVERY SINGLE ONE, of my notes has vanished...i tried turning off and on the contacts but on luck in it picking up the contacts that are on the icloud backup....so my question...does that mean I am SOL with regards to all my notes?

Once you delete any thing from iPhone, it is not possible to restore.It is possible to restore only when you backuped the contacts before deleting them.
So,if you backup the contacts before deleting then follow the below instructions to recover lost contacts from iPhone.
---> Turn on the iPhone device.
---> After turn on locate the backup application which you are using and open it.
---> After open you will see the different options.Among this select and tap the restore option.
---> Now select the contacts option.
---> Here you will see the all contacts.
---> Among this select the all contacts and tap the restore option.
---> After restore process completes check the contacts restore or not and close the backup application.

I had the same thing happen. Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>iCloud> Turn on contacts. I tried doing the same thing by just going to the iCloud settings on the first page of the settings menu, but it didn't do anything. Within ten seconds of me doing the above steps, I had all of my contacts restored!

I doubt your contacts were "deletred". There are a number of reasons for why contacts on the iPhone can disappear. Here are some good points to remember before attempting to do anything else: iCloud contacts not syncing

You're lucky if you had a backup somewhere (iCloud and iTunes takes automatic backups whenever you connect it to your PC or Mac). You may have a backup, without you even knowing lol
Try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If you had no backup, unless you are realy desparate and are willing to do anything to get your stuff back, try this TUTORIAL for iPhone contacts recovery WITHOUT BACKUP (it also includes a step-by-step video).
Goodluck mate!

Well I had the same problem, or the contacts just deleted themselfs while my phone was resting, locked, on my table. Tried alot of the suggestions I got here, but nothing worked.
Then I cheked when my last update was, conected the phone to iTunes on my computer, synced and now they are all back.
Chek that your iTunes is up to date too, don't think it has anything to do whit the matter, but you can never be too sure!

"Star Wars at its best"
Great characterization. Entertaining and fun. Left me wanting more. One of the better expanded universe books
"Did not meet expectations"
good narrator. bad story. waste of time. read the wookipedia article on revan instead. thought it was going to describe revan in more detail but leaves so much unanswered. I didn't play the video game so that may be why I feel like I'm missing something
"fantastic book and story"
Better than I expected. revan is hands down the one of the best Star Wars characters and has an incredible story. a must read book
"Pretty good"
Good book. Great storytelling. The ending was lacking in my opinion though. I'd still recommend it to any star wars fan
"Great Story"
The Old Repulic books are great. I recommend the entire series. I only wish to read on past the endings. This may be my favorite story of all the Star Wars story lines.
"Not what I was expecting."
Narrator was fantastic. The story was great, right up to the ending. That doesn't mean the story wasn't good. It just means that I was hoping for a different outcome. Still, it was very entertaining.

'We got to use our best people; gotta use me, but you got to use our best people. And I know the best people,' says Republican front-runner.22:52 01.05.16 | 0 comments
Sara, If a 90 year old lady is Israel's problem it has no problems. Just what Israel needs after the flotilla slaughter --- a sideshow, a mouthy journalist, so that friends of Israel can cloak themselves once again in the guise of victim, of the persecuted one. Victim of what, now, in 2010? A racist old Lebanese lady? Does Helen Thomas really scare you? Your version of history makes it sound as if the Arabs refused to share the land with the Jews. The way things have turned out, it is the Jews that do not want to share the land with anybody except Jews. Israelis don't want to go back to Europe. Fair enough. The Europeans certainly did little to make Jews feel welcome. But why did you have to conquer the Holy Land, and then drive out so many of the Muslims and the Christians, and destroy their cities and villages? Why was it necessary for you to pretend that only Jews had ever been there? In 1935 your biggest threat was Hitler, but the Brits and the Americans were not much help either. Today ... Helen Thomas. If we can snap our fingers and punish every nasty old critic of Jews, are you willing to do the same thing and silence all the Jewish journalists, and Jewish politicians who continuously say nasty things about Palestinians and Arabs and Muslims?

SAN BENITO — When Ernesto Atkinson walks into the San Benito Veterans War Memorial, he comes home to his family's military legacy.
On the floor, he gazes at the seven bricks that bear the names of his father and five brothers, as well as his own name.
"It made me shed a tear to see us all together," said Atkinson, 86, a World War II veteran. "We wanted all seven bricks to be together. I want people to see that all of us boys served our country."
Next month, the city will unveil a bronze sculpture that residents like Atkinson helped purchase through a program in which they buy bricks engraved with the names of loved ones.
"It's very important that we have a memorial because of those who paid the supreme sacrifice," Atkinson said as he remembered his brother Enrique, who was 22 when he was killed in North Korea in 1952. "Freedom lives, and through it, they live."
On Memorial Day, the San Benito Veterans Advisory Committee will unveil a 10-foot sculpture that depicts a helmet atop a rifle, said Victor Garza, the board's chairman.
The statue by Sandra Van Zandt of Talala, Okla., depicts a re-creation of a scene captured by a combat photographer on the beach at Normandy in June 1944, Garza said.
"It signifies a burial ground," Garza said.
The committee helped raise $25,000 to buy the sculpture through its program that sells engraved bricks for $100, Garza said.
The statue will become the first of three sculptures planned for the war memorial dedicated last July 4, Garza said.
So far, the committee's sold about 370 bricks, said Charlie Wilson, the committee's vice chairman.
"This is an ongoing project," Garza said. "It's a community project. A lot of us have served in the military and a lot of us have lost loved ones and some of us still have loved ones missing in action. We do this in their honor. We don't want to forget."
Future brick sales will help buy a $50,000 bronze sculpture that will depict a uniformed soldier standing in a section of the war memorial that re-creates the city's old depot from which trains carried soldiers to war, Garza said.
"The soldier will be looking south toward Brownsville, down the railroad tracks, waiting for the train to take him to war," Garza said.
Committee members plan to use an additional $50,000 in brick sales to buy a bronze sculpture of an eagle to stand over the war memorial's granite pedestal that looms over a fountain, Garza said.
"We want to make this is sacred place," Wilson said. "It's important to families who have loved ones killed or missing in action and to all the soldiers who've served. It's important to have a visual park to recognize that freedom is not free. Sometimes people have to be reminded that we have to pay for it."
Fernando Del Valle writes for the Valley Morning Star in Harlingen.
For more information on the committee's fundraising program, call Victor Garza at (956) 399-7464 or Martha McClain at (956) 361-3804, ext. 301.

DEFINITION of 'Mutual Fund Wrap'
Also known as a mutual fund advisory program or a wrap account, these programs give investors access to a large pool of mutual funds for one annual fee (usually between 0.5\% and 2\%). In other words, that one fee is supposed to "wrap around" all your mutual fund activity, giving you a clear picture of what is paid to your broker or financial advisor. These mutual fund wrap programs are most often offered by full-service brokerage houses to give customers another pricing option besides paying an upfront commission or surrender charges.
BREAKING DOWN 'Mutual Fund Wrap'
While mutual fund wrap accounts may seem like a transparent way of managing your mutual fund costs, most investors miss a major facet. In most instances, the wrap fee only covers the services provided by your broker, not the actual management fees of the mutual fund itself. These management expenses can range from just a few basis points to 1-1.5% annually, putting your total combined cost as high as 2-3%.

Blogs Liberty and Power Welfare State or Corporate State?Sep 23, 2008 1:21 pm
Welfare State or Corporate State?
It's a grave mistake to portray the economic problems as consequences of the welfare state, as traditionally defined. Rather, this is a failure of the corporate state, or state capitalism. Not only is this the truth, it also knocks the state socialists off balance. Let the conservatives argue that the failing system was designed to help low-income people. We know better: it was designed to politically funnel money to bankers, home builders, and the real-estate profession. As usual, low-income people were mere pawns in a special-interest scheme to shift risk from big business to the taxpayers.

B is for Beatles
In honor of the 45th anniversary of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan next month, where most of America first saw the Fab Four, I thought I'd track down my development as a Beatles fan.
Yes, I watched Sullivan on February 9, 1964, and I thought the group was all right. But I really couldn't hear them or enjoy them over all of that SCREAMING. I went to school the next day and it appeared that my female classmates in the fifth grade had also been riddled by a mild form of what came to be called Beatlemania. This really turned me off from the group.
Beatles at the Indiana State Fair
But as I saw them (twice more on Sullivan) and heard them on the radio (a lot) I began to soften towards them. Don't know exactly when, it was some point after the movie A Hard Day's Night came out, because I had had zero interest seeing it at the time, whereas I eagerly watched 1965's Help! as soon as it was released. Eventually, both my sister Leslie and I clamored for some music by the Beatles, and so my father brought home this:
Apparently, parents all over the country were fooled were fooled by this knockoff. Frankly, I don't recall how, or even if, we expressed our disappointment.
In 1965, I started a paper route, which meant I had my own money. At some point after June, I joined the Capitol Record Club. 12 albums for only a penny! (If you buy 12 more at the club's inflated retail price, plus shipping.) I ordered all the Beatles' albums that were out at the time, and was horrified to discover that my Meet the Beatles was in stereo, rather than mono, since the warning on the stereo albums was that they were incompatible with a mono player; ultimately, I played it anyway.
That year and the next, we would lipsynch Beatles' albums, especially Beatles VI, which was the first of the full-price albums I bought, using brooms and mops as guitars and Quaker Oats boxes as drums. . I was John, the literate, intelligent one; Leslie was Paul, who was left-handed and she thought he was CUTE; our neighbor Mary Jane was Ringo, because she thought he was CUTE; and our baby sister Marcia was George, because he was the only one left.
I started reading all the magazines about the Beatles. One article stood out: John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful indicated that Drive My Car was his favorite album on the album Rubber Soul. EVERYBODY knows that Drive My Car was on Yesterday...and Today, didn't they? It wasn't until a couple years later, possibly until after the breakup, when I discovered that the British albums and the American albums were not the same.
I quit Capitol Record Club when I realized I could buy the albums not only cheaper, but sooner from the stores. I got Rubber Soul and Revolver from the club, but Yesterday...and Today from the Rexall Drug Store ($2.99) and Sgt. Pepper at W.T. Grant's for the outrageous amount of $3.67. I noticed I was at least a little colorblind because it took me forever to find the word Beatles on the Magical Mystery Tour cover. I recently discussed the white album.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, I started reading books about the Beatles and became rather expert at what was on which album in the UK and the US, and even Italy. Recently, a colleague went to a funk concert and asked about a song called Bad Boy. I could tell him, without looking it up, that it was a Larry Williams song from my beloved Beatles VI in America, but that it didn't show up in Britain until the mostly singles collection A Collection of Beatles Oldies But Goldies in late 1966. It's on the Past Masters 1 CD.
I decided, probably foolishly, that in the next couple weeks, at random intervals, I will rank the entire list of Beatles songs, based on how much I would enjoy a piece if I haven't heard it in, say, six months. It is NOT necessarily a list of BEST songs, though quality can enhance enjoyment. The list will punish perfectly good recordings that, from overplaying, I just don't want to hear anymore.
I'm going to limit the list to the canon; that is, the songs released on Beatles singles, albums and EPs through 1970. In other words, the tunes from the British Beatles CDs and from the Past Masters CDs. There will be no songs from the Anthology albums.
If I were a purist, I would have separate listings for the single and album versions of Love Me Do, Let It Be and Get Back or the alternative and album versions of Across the Universe; I don't. While the single version of Get Back is what I had in mind, the coda on the album version has its charm.
NASA beamed a song -- The Beatles' "Across the Universe" -- directly into deep space at 7 p.m. EST on Feb. 4, 2008. The transmission over NASA's Deep Space Network commemorated the 40th anniversary of the day The Beatles recorded the song, as well as the 50th anniversary of NASA's founding and the group's beginnings.

It's amazing that , in a way, they're still going strong! I was at sea when they first became popular and their songs always remind me of that rather romantic time!

Awesome "B"!! When they first came out I didn't like them that much. But as I got older I really liked their music. Thanks for all that info! Have a great day!!

I was a teeny bit too young to really get on the Beatles bandwagon, but I went to see Help! in the cinema.
" ... and our baby sister Marcia was George, because he was the only one left."
I loved that bit! LOL!

Glad my bootsphoto was musically inspiring to you ;-)
Have to tell you that I was just searching the internet if I could find the image of a poster I used to have (a friend of my sister worked for a big cinemacompany and she gave us lots of moviephotos and -posters). Talking of about 30 years ago now. My mother threw everything away in a crazy springcleaning mood. Can't find it anywhere on the net, must have been a rare one too. I believe it was of Yellow Submarine or of Sgt. Peppers etc. Oh dear :-(

While I wasn't a huge Beatles fan when they first started recording, I did like their later works. Why don't you turn on a record (oops CD) and come over to warm up by my blazing fire. - Margy

Here's a bit of trivia. There is a mistake in one of their records Hey Jude.
If you listen very carefully you'll find that one of the fab four hits a wrong cord while somebody at the studio needs to use the restroom.
Hat tip to one of my Audio engineering relative.
I became a big fan at 13. Couldn't afford many of the albums at that time.

I was always a George girl. I'm surprised to think anyone thought Ringo was cute. Although he aged well, while Paul did not.
I still have my Beatles pencil case that I got for Christmas in 1964.

Thanks for the memories

I remember the Ed Sullivan Show, as well. What a time that was - those years seem so far removed from now (hmm, I guess they ARE). Loved the post and the reminiscing.
