With fiscal responsibility holding steady as the issue poll voters find most important, which team best exemplifies this trait?
You are talking about every four years, and I believe that times, priorities, and needs do change. But you must look at the credentials, look at the records, look at the integrity and honesty that was lacking in past administrations, and also this administration, and the genuine love for his people and his country; if you can do this without bias or tunnel vision, then you will know that Afoa is the most qualified candidate to be governor. He has no hidden agendas, no back door or under the table dealings, and everything is up front transparent, and in the open. All he ever wants is the very best for his beloved people, and it breaks his heart to see them continually suffer.
I do not believe this is greed and arrogance. This is just another form of a tax, from the ASG. they don't pay their bill so it gets passed on to everyone else.
With fiscal responsibility holding steady as the issue poll voters find most important, which team best exemplifies this trait?
According to Samoa News recent polls, the gubernatorial team that best exemplifies fiscal responsibility for the territory would be the Afoa/Le'i team at 25% percent. I wonder if the folks at Samoa News did some background check on Afoa's last 2 failed election attempts for the highest office in the land. Because if they did, they would find that there is an inconsistent contradiction in every fiscal platform that Afoa has ever introduced to the public with a different running mate. An argument can be made that there will be economic fluctuations between each gubernatorial term. And I could see that as having some relevance. But what fascinates me is that these contradictions in his platforms are what defines an individuals thinking in how they will operate the government, if elected. If that is the scenario, then how is the people to place their faith in a person that cannot make up their mind on what exactly he wants for the territory? We must not be so toiled in the "promises" from a candidate that has lost 2 times as a Lt. Governor candidate and 2 times as a Governor candidate, to be so mesmerized by his skilled rhetoric of economic recovery that we've missed the core point that this man has no real economic or fiscal platform for the territory. Lest we forget, the Constitutional Convention held a few years ago, was the most disastrous and embarrassing attempt by the "powers to be" to shove a ring fold of amendments down the throats of the common folks since the days of the Navy, just to see it totally defeated by the grassroots at any time in the history of our young democracy. Not one single amendment survived the onslaught by it's citizens. If I remember correctly, it was Afoa Moega Lutu, who was counsel to these powers to be that brought on this demise. If, as an attorney, he could not give appropriate counsel to the members of the C.C., what counsel of wisdom are we to expect from this man, if he was to be elected Governor? Does American Samoa really want someone that has shown no form of leadership, but, with disastrous past deeds to be his only credentials of leadership? Let us be wise in November and avoid another disastrous U-turn. By the way, in past elections, Samoa News has had the Afoa team very high in their "supposedly" public related polls on important issues. This latest poll is no different, because it does not capture the true pulse of the voting public. Nice attempt by Samoa News to sensationalize the obvious.

Stateless man stuck in American Samoa calls experience "nightmarish"
I live in Houston and have this to say about the Mikhail Sebastian case:
I don't get this. A guy that lived here(in the U.S.) for 16 years, can't come back? Really? Yet we have illegals that cross the Texas border everyday. Many of which go on to commit crimes like: Killing Police Officers, Drunk Driving -that often kills innocent men, women and children, Rape and child molestation. And other things like drugs, prostitution, extortion and kidnapping.
We see these crimes on a regular basis in the Houston area. And we won't let this guy come back and finish living the American Dream? As a country: "We suck!"
You are in our thoughts and prayers Mikhail. I am one of many that did not know of you before this. Hold on...it will get better. People are fighting for you.

So what if he plays poker games at $50 buy ins. Just because he does it does not mean he can't turn this corrupted government around. Do not judge him by what he is doing now. You don't know if he can give this island the future, and government they deserve to have, and your family a better future. Maybe you play poker at $50 buy ins too, and here you are asking if he does.

Apparently you know nothing about Afoa, and lawyers as leaders. Afoa has been in politics for quite awhile now, and throughout his life and his career as a lawyer and politician, he has never tarnished his name or his integrity. That is why he is well respected throughout Samoa. He is a humble, softspoken, honest, God fearing, and law abiding man. I believe that IF he took some land as payment, it is because he is the best land and title lawyer in Tutuila, and the families want him but can't afford his fees, but I believe his fees are very decent because he's a good man. That may also be one of the main reasons he has lost in the past campaigns, is because when a family looses a case, all of that family members will not vote for him. Lastly, you implied that lawyers are not good leaders. Well, here's a LIST OF PRESIDENTS THAT WERE LAWYERS! JOHN ADAMS, THOMAS JEFFERSON, JAMES MADISON, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, ANDREW JACKSON, MARTIN VAN BUREN, JOHN TYLER, JAMES POLK, MILLARD FILLMORE, FRANKLIN PIERCE, JAMES BUCHANAN, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, RUTHERFORD HAYES, CHESTER ARTHUR, GROVER CLEVELAND, BENJAMIN HARRISON, WILLIAM MCKINLEY, WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, WOODROW WILSON, CALVIN COOLIDGE, FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, HARRY TRUMAN, RICHARD NIXON, GERALD FORD, BILL CLINTON, BARAK OBAMA!
Falanai Jr - you must've had to reach down to your last nerve to maintain your sanity. I could almost feel the bumps, the potholes, the dust, from reading your post. I was visiting this passed summer and I swear -- it made me question our leaders and the many ASG people who have the power to change things for the better.
I know these people travel to Hawaii and off to the mainland. They can surely see what is pleasant to drive, what is pleasant to the eye, images of a well planned and developed structure. I wonder what they tell themselves when they return home from their trips. Right from the Get-Go -- that arrival airport terminal. Seriously? It is very unwelcoming. The aura of arriving in that place. The scent of sweat and odor. The chaos of trying to get to the immigration que, to the cart desk, then if you're lucky try to push yourself through to get to the carousel and another challenge to get to the que to customs.
Then you leave the so-called terminal and you are surprised by the low lit streets, the inhalation of dust, and then there comes the turbulences. OMG! No wonder why its 20 MPH.
I didnt get to drive pass Leone. But i went as far as Onenoa. None of those roads are any better than the roads in town area.
I dont want to get into the other details of what i saw. But words i would describe what i see along the road (excluding the visible damages of the tsunami) would be: UGLY, DIRTY, UNHEALTHY, DISGUSTING. Trash of all kinds are everywhere -- including business' trash bins overflowing. For example, i saw a toilet bowl right outside one of the businesses in Nuuuli that is placed no more than 4 feet from the edge of the road. Pampers in the ditches by the road, cans and paper products -- everywhere you turn you see these things.
These reflect the state of health of our people. This include the rich and poor all together in this chaos. So many are overweight and don't care about their health so they treat the environment and their surrounding the same. I hate to say it but -- it is the truth. Too much talk about the 'Samoan Pride' and yet it is all hot air and dont live to keep Samoa healthy and clean. Why? Because they themselves dont live in a clean and healthy way. If you're proud of something you treasure it... you don't trash it. And it looks like our roads aint a priority. Leaders just look forward to their next boarding pass and get ride a smooth freeway for a couple of weeks and then simply go back and do nothing.
I believe Ms. Stevenson and I myself know about each other but we've never really met. I say that so readers know that my opinion of her is unbias.
I know about Leilua's professionalism. She is an able strong woman and her values are just as the same as the values of the teine next door, the tama'ita'i trying to aim for the stars while living on the rock. She has an education background far more impresseive than most who wore that hat she is denied of. I haven't seen Lei for probably 10 years or more. Its just sad to read that this able and very capable daughter of Samoa is not advancing forward to serve her community as she wish. I hope they will find someone better than Leilua if that's the case. If they do I am sure Leilua will be happy with the rejection. Otherwise . . . we may soon find out either way.

With so many years Afoa has ran for government, no one really looked into his achievements in life that can make our government better. We saw the different things the other candidates have done to our government and yet people still go for corruption and not the right thing. I personally think that Afoa & Le'i can really make a big change to our government. He has experienced all sort of things that can prove us that he can do it.
Take a minute and read his experience and his platforms, he has every potential to lead us to a corruption free government.
Cocaine, marijuana at Pesega in Samoa
They are now saying it was meth and not cocaine that was found in Pesega!!! They also, think it was being made there. The scourge of the earth has hit the shores of Samoa and they better get on top of it quick because all the time they have been worrying about marijuana(nothing compared to meth) now needs to be diverted to stomping out meth because what it will do to peoples lives and everyone around them is horrific......the children will be totally neglected to starve so they can buy meth. Steal anything and everything from family with no regrets. Hell has come to Paradise.
O tupe na fa'aaoga Samoan Heritage ...
I heard about this in a very awkward way in 2009 and quite frankly it disgusted me! I was in Honolulu for a family reunion which happened to be on the weekend of the Heritage event at Keehi Lagoon in Hawaii. I and a few a few uncles and cousins were starting our umu for our family fiafia to start at sunset. There were 2 adult men who were there, Samoan friends of my uncle, who came to help but leaving early to attend the Heritage festivities. These two men were praising the changes with the summer events held in Hawaii every summer - ua masani ai le toatele na faaigoa o le Aso o le Fu'a a Samoa I Hawaii. One of them said "Makua'i seki a o le suiga kele ua iai le aso o Samoa. Kufa mikiafu maua fua; Ka'i afe kupe mo so'o se sosaieke lava e faafiafia." When those two men left I asked my uncles some questions about what the two men mentioned and they told me that the ASG representatives flew to Hawaii with funding for this event which has now changed to Heritage.
Now i have to admit that I am going by what I just heard and I don't know the details but I'm sure it must be a lot of money. I been to this Flag Day event a few times when I am in Hawaii. When I started living there I slowly stopped attending this event. Why? Because I simply do not believe it helps anybody but those who coordinate them. I leave the park with nothing useful to take with me so I can develop myself to be a better Samoan. Forgive me as I do not mean to disrespect the efforts and the sweats of those who put the event together. It's an okay event for the Samoan community in Hawaii if they find it as an activity to enjoy together and to gather as Samoans. That's perfectly fine. BUT IT DOES NOT NEED ASG $$$ to pay for that enjoyment. I've seen the formats of these events. It's nothing more than loosely arranged cricket games (it isn't the same as they were 10 years ago), rugby, grass volleyball with no structured tourney, some fale'aiga serving food like how we have it in the flag day events in Samoa, and just ridiculous faafiafiaga and siva that are very quite boring. You seen one group you seen them all. The highlight of every year is the Drag Queen Show. Honestly, it's an event that serves the social desires of the SamoanCommunity in Hawaii. I just do not see how ASG $$ could be justified to fund this type of event.
If its true what I heard over our umu preparation - somebody tell me how is giving out free t-shirts help Samoan families in Hawaii? If these monies were awarded to Tutila and Manu'a based on their local need then why isnt the money serving that need locally? the money can then be spent in Tutuila and Manua and it remains in the islands to help better their economy. why take that away from the local people with a struggling economy and inject it in the Hawaii economy that is doing 100 times better than Samoas economy?
It would be interesting to learn the basis why this money was originally awarded to ASG. Getting a money award or grant is based on data. What data was presented to attain this funding? Does ASG have statistical justification that the Samoans in Hawaii need their help with money? How is it justified that Hawaii Heritage should be funded by ASG? Does ASG care that the Hawaii-Samoa Flag Day or Heritage as it is now called is nothing but a BIG PARTY? Or could this be one of those tricks to create more travel opportunities for ASG officials?
After these passed few years of ASG reaching out to Hawaii and other similar locations heritage is held --- Should someone address the accountability of how this fund is being used? Should there be a question as to "how does ASG measure the success of this free heritage money for Heritage Week for Hawaii? As it should be and In these day and age especially, money is given when there is a justified cause and need? Where is the accountability? Who can answer those questions? -- not just get on the plane and and fly to Hawaii and get In front of the crowd and say "look at me, I'm the money man from the motherland". Really? How about the Samoan students in Hawaii who cannot afford to stay in their dorms? Why not help those students who really are trying to help themselves? I know the struggles Samoan students in Hawaii go through. Many ended up living with relatives with crowded household and many of those relatives are in the projects. Those living situations are not conducive to focused learning. Some students can make it okay while many I know of in Hawaii are struggling. Families in Samoa save every penny to help them from afar and here goes ASG funding this Heritage event that has very little importance. Ask any Samoan in Hawaii if they benefitted from it and I'm sure nobody is going to say anything more than things like "it was fun; oh the food was good; magaia pagikeke, etc.
Is that really what this fuzz is about? C'mon ASG! Show Us results, show us data, show us some measurement that this funding of the heritage event has positively impacted lives of Samoan youth. If you can do that then I might sway my mind. Otherwise --- it really is a Big Joke.
I hear you my brother, I feel such pain first hand. Jacinta Galeai's case broke my heart because not only she's qualified, but so passionate about education and children. Good thing she stayed on and serve as acting director.
Leilua Stevenson equally is qualified for the DBAS nomination as she is in her current occupation, and has the heart for the people like Jacinta. Both would add great value (as have already) to the American Samoa public.
However, may I quote one Samoan wise man from the past- "Seu le manu ae taga'i i le galu" (catch the bird but beware of the waves).
As qualified people add public value to society, so does the integrity and fairness of the hiring system. Once such system is compromised, the precedent is set and society is doomed. And that's where we're at as a territory.
But there's hope for the territory in people like you becoming once again as a member of the Fono.
I wish you well in your endeavor.
God speed.
ASPA rate hike in effect today, Gov blames Fono
Just a thought: I think Governor and ASG agencies are not paying their bills for a Reason, and that's because they need to be government owned, not under a private sector.
It's basic necessities, water, electricity, etc. For them to operate, they need to install,dig,upgrade,renovate,so on and so forth on government and private property. Same issue for telephone companies, Blue Sky and ASTCA with all their wiring.
They can always manage their own fundings, but all report and owned by ASG. Someone up there needs to start putting their foot down and re-write up a quick 'new law' to resolve this, since we ALL suffer from these rate hikes which I strongly oppose to. Or better yet, since everyone likes to mis-manage funds and budgets, why don't you use some of that now to pay up before I get my next $300 ASPA bill in the mail? Again, it's just a thought, so don't go all postal at once!

Governor seeks help for ASG employees left in the cold
Subject: Budget cuts from the Fono. Every Department be alert and prepare. But wait, no action yet until October 12th. I will be leaving on another tour of the Pacific Ocean but I want all of you to hold your breath while I finagle this situation.
The guy is really funny. Did the IT office not receive any of the $10.5 billion that was allocated for Communication, Information & Security Technology under the ARRA?
Did the ASESRO office not receive administrative funds to operate? Supplemental appropriations.......maybe if the Governor's Office cuts back on travel and all the other nonsense there will be funds to sustain the IT and ASESRO offices.
Quote from a 12 year old boy: If there is not a solution, there isn't a problem! In ASG 99% of the time problems are created by those who are in positions with the power to solve the problems.
Gov responds with line-item vetoes to budget changes
I, like most people I know that live in this territory, have a hard time believing that Governor Togiola has concern for the "health, safety, and welfare of the public". The record of evidence to support this claim is astounding. Words mean nothing if they are not supported by action. I will speak only of my sphere of influence: LBJ Medical Center.
Consider the $3 million shortfall ($6 million including lost matching funds from Medicaid) that the governor brought upon LBJ last year. This was money that was included in the ASG budget. It was a promise to the people of this territory to take care of health, safety and welfare at it's most fundamental level. That promise was not kept. Those funds (appropriated in the budget) were not delivered, and we were told that the government had "other priorities." What were the "other priorities" that had to be considered above the "health, safety and welfare" of the public? I can think of nothing more tantamount to a claim for this concern than the funding of the only hospital in the territory (which even if it's budget were met in full, still operates on 1/3 of any comparable hospital in the United States).
This territory has witnessed time and time again that appropriating funds in the ASG budget is no guarantee that those funds will be actually given to the entities that are entitled to them by the law to spend on measures to protect and support the health, safety and welfare of the public.
(By the way, we're being shorted our appropriation again at the hospital, unless this has been remedied in the very recent past. Furthermore, as soon as the fiscal year ends there is no recourse for the hospital nor accountability of the government to pay the hospital or anyone else what they are owed.)
So promise all you want, Governor. You won't be around to deliver it, but your successor will. Hopefully that person will DEMONSTRATE the concern for the "health, safety, and welfare of the public" that you talk about but have failed to act on.
Faleomavaega disappointed about plight of stateless person in American Samoa
Dear Congressman,
According to International law on Deportation, Expulsion and Removal of alien whose present is illegal the government has full rights to remove an alien to the country of his origin (meaning citizenship), or in case of stateless person to the country of his habitual residence. And that's what I would like the Government of American Samoa to do is to issue special directive to remove me back to the country of my last habitual residence which is United States. Upon arrival to Honolulu I would hand myself to Immigration Authorities and let them deal with me there.
While International Law permits states to establish immigration policies and deportation procedures, it does not grant them discretion to violate human rights in the process in case of stateless person like myself who continuously lived in the United States for 16 years. The United States, especially Department of Homeland Security regularly fails to uphold international human rights law in its immigration laws and enforcement policies, particularly Universal Declaration of Human Rights the United States is party, by violating the human rights of stateless persons to fair treatment at the hands of immigration officials, to freedom from arbitrary confinement and exile, in my case forceable exile in US territory of American Samoa. Including the persecution based on political opinion. Such policies violate the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights the United States is party. Despite a commitment to equal justice for all, US officials from DHS and ICE have instituted policies discriminating unjustly stateless persons on the basis of statelessness and political opinion. Such discrimination violates internationally protected rights of all human beings. In the criminal justice arena, DHS and ICE officials abuse their discretion by overstepping their authority, or by instituting polices that undermine the rule of law.
The United States has an international legal obligation to protect stateless persons and their human rights as defined in Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all other international treaties we are party. Unfortunately, either because abuse happens at the hands of public officials (DHS and ICE), or because public officials turn a blind eye to victims of our broken immigration policy, stateless persons, the United States fail those who seek and deserve government protection because as stateless persons we do not have any country to ask for protection or seek legal council but the country of our long-term residency, the United States of America.
The only solution in my situation as I see is for the Government of American Samoa to deport me as soon as possible on the first Hawaiian Airlines flight out to Honolulu with special direction given to Immigration officials of American Samoa including Attorney General of American Samoa. The direction should clearly states that Hawaiian Airlines is responsible for taking me back the same way they brought me in with exact same documents I had when I checked myself in in Los Angeles and Honolulu. I was clearly advised by the agents of Hawaiian Airlines that I would not have any problems coming in and back. The departure clearance should not be issued to Hawaiian Airlines in case of their refusal. I do not see any other way out of here. When Mr. Elliot Williams in his letter stated that I was outside of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, basically saying I am in foreign country, I would like to remind them the Immigration law of the US. Sec. 215.1 definition in regards to controls of aliens departing from the United States says: "The term United States means the several States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Swains Island, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and all other territory and waters, continental and insular, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States". Which means by all those factors taking into consideration, I am in the United States of America, not outside of the United States, not in Aruba, not in Cayman Island, but in the United States of America, on US soil. If DHS continues to believe that I am still in foreign land that controls its own immigration, than American Samoa Government should immediately issue deportation on me due to lack of cooperation from the US Government and their cat and mouse game and refusal to solve this issue peacefully through diplomacy, and force Hawaiian Airlines to take me on board back to the country of my last residency which is the US since I am stateless. I am tired, exhausted, frustrated and angry.

ASPA rate hike in effect today, Gov blames Fono
We are not stupid Mr. Governor. ASG owes millions, ASPA has to survive, they don't "pull the plug on ASG" they raise the utility rates and continue to pull the plug on us the public. PAY THE DAMN ASPA BILL ! You Mr. Gov probably can't order that because their is no money now after all the waste in your administration under your watch. If you are not going to sell the Fo'isia and SUVs etc. even your personal homes and investments that you have accumulated from your tenure as Governor to help us out...then go away quietly.
With fiscal responsibility holding steady as the issue poll voters find most important, which team best exemplifies this trait?
I hope people will stop voting for a certain candidate because they are related in a way, or even because their elders want them to. Choose the candidate you want to vote for because your choice affects you. Do not choose to vote for someone your elders, or maybe even someone else wants you to vote for. Voting for a certain candidate someone else is voting for, or because your parents want you to is not the right thing for you to do. The right thing for you to do is to vote for who can give your island a better future.
I once heard a song that starts off "It is not what your country can do for you, it is what you can do for your country", but in our case we are an island. Voting for who you believe can give us a good future is the little favor you can do for your island. It is time you stand up and tell those people telling you to vote for a certain candidate that your voice matters too. Ask questions, and decide which candidate will have a better impact on your future. To whoever that said "By the way, have some flipping pride in being SAMOAN!!! Elect a Samoan to help lead SAMOA!!!!!!!!"
So what if people choose to vote for a white guy? Just because they do it does not mean they do not have pride in being Samoan. People, it matters not which color you choose, what matters is who you choose and how they will affect you.
ASPA rate hike in effect today, Gov blames Fono

Senate rejects gov's nominee for DBAS president post
Togiola traded the yacht club for a restaurant. Poor Decision.
He forced the DBAS board members to change their decision. Not smart.
Are there other people on the island with college degrees and experience in Banking? Damn Right.
Now DBAS staff settle down, breathe out and believe that 2013 will be a good year. All of you may get a chance to apply for the job.
Shame on the DBAS Board Members that lost their b _ _ _ _ no it's not what you think....call it bones....like in backbone. We know the one male DBAS Board Member that has a backbone!
How come Samoa is not playing in the Rugby Championship?
The author is right about one thing. At the world cup in New Zealand, Samoa entered the tournament at 250 to 1 odds to win the tournament. Samoa was rated by the sports book, Paddy Power, to win their pool at 40 to 1 odds. If you bet on Samoa to win the tournament or their pool, you lost.
But in the pool games they beat the sports book point spread against Wales and South Africa. In other words, even in losing, they exceeded expectations. If you bet on Samoa in those games you won your bet.
Samoa's rugby fans are too tough on their teams. Even when the team exceeds expectations, they demand more. Putting that kind of pressure on the players and coaches results in the kind of comments in the above letter.
Credit the players and coaches for competing near the top of world competition.

Give 'Em the Slip2 of 25
By Abby Gardner
Sure, Brad and Gwyn were the hottest couple on the red carpet for a while there. But we were always tuned into her outfits. This white slip dress epitomizes that minimalist moment in the '90s.

Chop, Chop5 of 25
When Gwyneth chopped off all of her hair, the world noticed. I can't even count the number of people I knew who took her photo to the hair salon as inspiration.
Cinched In6 of 25
The Dolce & Gabbana corset dress had a major moment, especially this version on Gwynnie. We're sure it launched a million knockoffs.
Power of Three7 of 25
These three ladies — Gwyneth, Kate Moss and Liv Tyler — basically defined late-'90s style. There was nobody cooler.
Sweet Separates8 of 25
During her awards show run for Shakespeare in Love, all fashion eyes were on Gwyneth. We loved how she paired this long skirt with a short sweater.
SHOP NOW: Cardigans
Pretty Princess9 of 25
GP took home her Oscar in a dress that many girls dream of wearing to the ball (or the prom). She was like a modern-day Cinderella, escorted by her beloved dad.

We love that Gwyneth isn't afraid to change things up. Her darker side is way chic too.
SHOP NOW: Hair Dye
Dark & Stormy11 of 25
This Alexander McQueen dress was much maligned when the actress wore it to the Academy Awards. Personally, the fit in the bust is my main problem. But her hair and makeup are amazing. Gwyneth was way pre-curve with her front braid.
Jean Queen12 of 25
Gwyneth wore these Blue Cult jeans to a Calvin Klein fashion show in 2002. So many women went out and bought them (myself included) that the style was officially dubbed "The Gwyneth."
SHOP NOW: Blue Cult
Maternity Maven13 of 25
Gwyneth makes maternity evening wear look easy just before having her first child, Apple. The draping and panels make her look great ... and comfortable.
Oops!14 of 25
Note to self: If you try Eastern health practices like cupping, or anything else that leaves a hickey-like mark, do not go strapless.
Tight Squeeze15 of 25
The boning in this Stella McCartney dress — the designer is one of Gwyneth's best pals — makes it incredibly flattering in the midsection.

When your husband is the lead singer of one of the biggest bands in the world (that would be Coldplay), you better have a cool music festival look. We're dying for her rain boots.

We love that Gwyneth chose this Zac Posen gown in such a unique color. It pays to stand out. And her bold lip is the icing on the cake.

She's Got Legs18 of 25
When you've got an amazing feature, like killer legs, do do do show them off! There's a tasteful way to go mini, even after you turn 30.
Know Your Staples19 of 25
The dark blazer is a girl's best friend. You can wear it with everything from jeans to a leather skirt, as Gwyneth does here.

When Gwyneth presented at the Grammys, she knew well enough to bring out the bling in her fashion. The tights are killer!

Support Group21 of 25
Gwyneth loves to support designers that aren't as well known outside of the insider fashion world, and we appreciate that. As we're sure do the designers of Preen, who made this dress.

Formal shorts aren't for everyone. But GP is a huge fan.

Gwyneth's time in Nashville filming Country Strong seems to have rubbed off on her fashion sense. Everything gets glammed up in the South.
Stage Presence25 of 25
Gwyneth's a real-deal performer these days after singing at the Country Music Awards. And while you may not be taking the stage in front of music stars, you can still go a little sexier when you know all eyes are on you.

With the decade closing for good and to have a little fun and reminiscing, I put this together for ya...
Chris Dudley - At 44 years old, our good old Free Throw reliable OG is actually running for Governor of Oregon as a Republican. Go figure.
Anthony Mason - Our other soldier at #14 is now 43 years old, with a son who is a senior and plays ball at St. John's University. I'll never forget his immortal free throw technique.
Charlie Ward - At 39 years old, Ward is now the Head Coach for a varsity football team at Westbury Christian School.
Rick Brunson - Remember him? Well the 37 year old has actually been doing more off the court than what he did on the court. "From January to April 2007, Brunson worked as an assistant coach with the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], focusing on player development.

Chris Childs - At 42 years old, Chris Childs will forever be the poster boy for socking it to Kobe. As to what he's been up to... no one really knows.
Latrell Sprewell - Foreclosures, Repos and unpaid taxes has doomed one of the most electric players to don a Knicks jersey.
Allan Houston - At 38, he has quit his comeback attempts and is now playing devil's advocate to Donnie Walsh and James "Billion Dollar Budget" Dolan.
Patrick Ewing - At 47 years old, the Big Fella is now the mentor to the next young Big Fella.
....to be continued. It's late and I'm tired.

seriously man, we need those(that oak is pictured in) jerseys back.that **** is beautiful.

I really hope the Oak man finds his way back into this organization. Players like him are artifacts of the 90s sadly. Players like that can't exist in the current NBA. Not with the way Stern has changed the league. Still, his counsel would be a godsend for this team. I feel these players don't really respect our past Knick teams and are very resistant to embrace the proud history of the franchise. I mean, I'd bet anything Gallo has no idea who Oakley even is and could care less.
Ward was the man damn i miss those days where i would tune into games and just watch him do the little things needed for any winning team and then some dude was awesome
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
As of August 2012, he's in his hometown living with his parents. Chris Childs needs to pay his child support instead of running from his responsibilities. If he does not want to pay then he needs to be LOCKED UP!!
Chris was a great NYKnicks baller.
Mase and Oak only players which can easy stop Bron&Wade especially Mase
Charles Smith, the guy that missed four straight layups on the same play in the 1993 ECF.
from Wiki
In 1989, Smith founded the Charles D. Smith Foundation and Educational Center, in which the building was the first City Hall in the Northeast, and was later converted into a library. The after school center was created for inner-city school children from kindergarten to 9th grades to improve academics and offer a place for youth to get off the streets. Located in Smith's hometown of Bridgeport, it was his dream since playing at Pitt to operate the center that still stands today.
Smith ran a digital media company, based in Manhattan[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for about 6 years.

As of next week, my precious LO will be 6 months old. Where does time go!? My husband and I have been talking about letting her try some solids soon--maybe avocado or sweet potato.
I think I might be over thinking things, though, and getting a little overwhelmed. I understand that only a small amount (about a tbs?) should be given when starting out, and there should be a week between new foods. But how many times per day do I offer solids? After every nursing session? Only once per day, building up to a few times a day? When does the amount increase from 1 tbs to more?
I've read that one sign a baby is ready for solids is that she will sit up unassisted. Well, my daughter can sit for a few seconds, but often times she will slump over to the side or go forward without support. Does this one thing mean she might not be ready?
It's late and I'm feeling really unfocused. Basically, any info or experiences about those early days of solids and the natural progression of things...I'm all ears!

"I'm tickled to see such a great result again from the pink out campaign. It's a story of the numbers, 3 years of a pink out campaign, which has raised (cumulatively) over $11,000. The funds have helped the Relay For Life of Karnes County raise over $779,000 over its 14 year history. Results like this have allowed the American Cancer Society to help build a pool of more than 14 million cancer survivors over the course of it's 100 years of fighting this disease" said Mr. Pish.

The RSBS Digest: Clothing
As baseball season quickly approaches, we turn to an oft forgotten topic: appropriate dress for a baseball game. We all know how hard it is to pick the right clothes early on in the season when temperatures might range 30 degrees over the course of a game. Even when it gets really hot out, decorum still insists on a certain minimum level of covering. That's why RSBS always encourages layering.
However, sometimes people refuse to heed warnings and find themselves in very uncomfortable predicaments. Although the situation presented in this video may not be entirely applicable to baseball spectatorship, it's an important reminder that wearing the right clothing can save you a load of mental and physical discomfort later on.
No need to thank us. We're just doing our job.
Happy Saturday!

Um, yeah. I thought that was going to be TMI. I was right…
It's always hard to decide which shirt to wear to baseball games. You always think you're going to be warmer than you are. Then again, always an excuse to buy a new jacket right? Funny vid.
I agree with Elizabeth. Sometimes i make wrong judgments or don't listen to my parents when it comes to the weather and then I suffer. Since I live in Southern California most of the girls wear cute clothing and sunglasses (even at night games… in day games they bring their sun tan lotion and sunbathe :D).. who knows if they actually know the player behind the jersey… Am i being mean? Perhaps but at least i'm honest lol😀

"We will be accepting dry food for cats and dogs," said Senior Animal Control Officer Lupe Valdez. The shelter staff will also take canned and bagged foods and cash check donations.
The donation table will be set up from 8 a.m. until noon on Aug. 10 at the front of the store.
The shelter has stepped up efforts to find homes for the animals the staff brings in from city streets and many dogs and cats have been adopted by loving families.
Computer users are invited to check out and like the City of Beeville Animal Shelter page on facebook. It includes dozens of photos of adopted dogs and cats and their new families.
"Please help us feed our furry friends," Valdez said. "All donations help make a difference."

States Qualifying for Counting Up To Six Additional Weeks of Job Search and Job Readiness

States Qualifying for Counting Up To Six Additional Weeks
of Job Search and Job Readiness
"Under Section 407(c)(2) of the Social Security Act and 45 CFR 261.34, an individual's participation in job search and job readiness assistance can count for a maximum of six weeks in a fiscal year (no more than four consecutive weeks). This can be extended to 12 weeks in a fiscal year if a State has an unemployment rate at least 50 percent greater than the unemployment rate of the United States or if the State meets the definition of a "needy State" under the Contingency Fund provisions of the law. There are two ways for a State to qualify as a "needy State," one based on its unemployment rate, the other based on increases in its Food Stamp caseload. (See section 403(b)(5) of the Act.) Here is a general description of the two triggers:
- Unemployment Trigger – the average unemployment rate for the most recent 3-month period is at least 6.5% and at least 110% of the State rate for the corresponding 3-month period in either of the two preceding calendar years.
- Food Stamp Trigger (as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture) – the monthly average number of participants for the most recent 3-month period is at least 110% of the State's monthly average caseload for FY 1994 or FY 1995, whichever is less, had the immigrant and Food Stamp provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) been in effect in those years.
The tables below display the official list of States that have qualified for counting up to six additional weeks of job search and job readiness assistance by month.

The School Library Profiles developed by the Library Research Service are meant to be used as a comparative tool for school libraries in Colorado. The results represent data received from school libraries that completed the 2011 Colorado School Library Survey. Profiles for each participating school compare individual school data with averages for schools with similar grade level and enrollment ranges. Please note that since all data were derived from responses to the survey, schools that did not respond to the survey are not represented in the Profiles.
Use the school locator (below) to find the school for which you would like to see the 2011-2012 School Library Profile. Remember, schools that did not respond to the 2011 Colorado School Library Survey will not be represented in the Profiles.
Please Note: Starting with the 2008-09 profiles, we are using medians instead of averages for the comparison groups. Medians represent the school in the middle of each statistic - i.e., there are equal numbers of schools above and below the median. For this reason, we felt this was more representative of the "typical" school than average, which can be more strongly influenced by outliers.

T'Pol asks Archer to accompany her on a top-secret mission to capture a fugitive that has eluded the Vulcan High Command for two decades.
T'Pol is reading a book in the middle of the night when she receives transmission from the Vulcan High Command. The only thing her interlocutor tells her is that they have located a man named Menos, three days from Enterprise's location.
The next morning, T'Pol informs Captain Jonathan Archer that he will receive a transmission from Admiral Maxwell Forrest which will give him orders to assist T'Pol in a classified mission. She will need a shuttlepod, a pilot, restraints, and phase pistols. Even if she is unwilling to tell the details of her mission at first, she later asks Archer to be part of the mission because she needs someone she can trust. The captain accepts when she agrees to tell him more about the mission.
Menos, the fugitive, is a Vulcan ex-agent that wouldn't return when his mission was over, and is reported to have been a smuggler since then. A couple of years prior, T'Pol, then under the Vulcan Ministry of Security, had been in charge of apprehending six of these fugitives, and Menos was the only one that she hadn't been able to catch. The Vulcan High Command, considering that a matter of honor, assigned the mission to her again.
Even though Trip Tucker repeatedly entreats Archer to tell him what the situation is about, Archer refuses, and simply hands over command of the ship to him. Tucker finds out in regular intervals that being captain has its drawbacks and comes with answering everybody's inquiries.
Meanwhile Archer, Travis Mayweather, and T'Pol arrive at a bar situated on the Pernaia Prime moon where Menos is supposed to be hiding. They find him, and have no difficulties apprehending him; however, they cannot leave the moon because of a technical issue and will have to remain there for several hours. Menos, shackled to the bar, appears harmless, and tries to convince them that he has never actually been a smuggler, since he only cooperated with them as part of his cover, and is sustaining his family with an honest job (hauling spent warp injector casings). At the same moment, T'Pol has a strong flashback that seems to come from repressed memories. She remembers chasing him on Risa, as she previously explained to Archer, but someone else was there. With Menos' manipulative attitude and all the strange memories, she begins to doubt herself. When she checks his ship and finds only what he said she would, she feels sure he is telling the truth about everything, and her entire memories of the incident return to her.
Back on Enterprise, the crew is hailed by the Vulcan ship who was ordered to pick up Menos after the operation. Tucker has to pretend to be Captain Archer so that the Vulcans don't realize T'Pol asked for his help. Tucker manages to convince the other captain, only to find out the "important message" to Archer was simply the result of a water polo game, Cal beat Stanford 7 to 3. A relieved Tucker say's he'll be sure to tell him.
Back on Pernaia Prime, T'Pol leaves the bar with Archer and explains to him that while she was chasing after Menos on Risa, she killed another man named Jossen, and didn't remember it until some minutes ago. At the time, it appeared as if Jossen was about to draw his weapon, so she shot him. Now she remembers her guilt about this, since she was never entirely sure that he was a threat. Because she was unable to handle her guilt, she went through fullara, a ritual meant to suppress that memory and even the memory of performing the ritual itself. Their discussion is cut short by a disturbance in the bar. Menos caused a fire by turning over a table and claims that he would rather die on that frozen moon than be brought back to Vulcan for crimes he didn't commit. T'Pol decides to free him from the restraints and he quickly vanishes.
When the three of them go to his ship, they don't find him aboard. After a little investigation however, Mayweather finds a system still running on the otherwise powered-down ship. When Archer turns it off, it reveals a secret area behind a cloaking field where Menos was hiding. He takes T'Pol hostage and after a short fight he tries to escape. T'Pol goes after him and points her phase pistol at him, threatening to shoot. He tries to play on T'Pol's insecurities, telling her that catching him would be the same as killing another innocent, something that would make her feel even more guilty. Archer interferes at this moment and asks T'Pol to trust him. She does and finally stuns Menos as he is about to disappear again. Back on his ship, Mayweather discovers that Menos was indeed smuggling biotoxins.
Back on Enterprise, T'Pol thanks Archer for what he did on the moon and tells him that if he ever needs someone he can trust, she will be glad to return the favor.

Background InformationEdit
- "The Seventh" refers to the seventh rogue operative, Menos, whom T'Pol pursued in this episode. He was believed to be the sixth, until T'Pol remembered Jossen, whom she killed. Coincidentally, it is also the seventh episode of the season.
- It seems Menos was working for the Axanar, as most of his cargo containers have the Axanar written language on them.
- Among the aliens at the bar on Pernaia's moon was a Kreetassan, several Klingons, several members of the shapeshifting species from "Two Days and Two Nights", and a member of Kago-Darr's species.
- T'Pol's experiences of pursuing Menos and Jossen on Risa and subsequently undergoing fullara at P'Jem are referred to in the ENT novel Surak's Soul.
- Several costumes and props from this episode were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay, including the boots of Bruce Davison. [1]
- When Tucker impersonates Captain Archer, he wears a fourth rank pip to signify the rank of captain, but does not change into a gold-trimmed command division uniform, instead staying in his red-trimmed operations division uniform.

Keeping up a tradition; Making real maple syrup
Todd fielded questions from the crowd that gathered around his hand-built evaporator in the sugarhouse, where it was on display for all to inspect, which they did with great interest. A couple of fellows even got down on their hands and knees to peer into the firebox. Just a few feet away, two walls were lined with wood, stacked and waiting to fuel a roaring blaze in the firebox when the sap runs again 2014. "I really believe in dry wood," Todd said.
Those attending generously shared their experience, advice and information, apparently not viewing each other as competitors but as comrades in a common cause.
Each year Todd does something to improve or upgrade his operation, and for this, he took a bit of teasing from the crowd after Sue said she'd like to see the operation remain small. "What I really love are the sensory things about making maple syrup," she said, "the steam and the smell and the watching it cook. For me that's what it's all about, and I just hope someday Todd gets satisfied here." Knowingly, everyone laughed. Many have been in Todd's shoes themselves as their own maple operations grew with their passion for making syrup. Just then, someone in the crowd piped up, "Maybe you've seen the bumper sticker that says 'You'll never lose him to another woman, you'll lose him to another evaporator." Everyone laughed. Everyone was having a good time.
After a brief tour of the rest of the farm—horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, guinea hens, bees (in an unusual "top-bar" hive) and more, everyone piled onto the bus and headed out to continue their tour.
All around, it was a sweet fall day for these visitors to the Upper Delaware River Valley.

Climbing Frame Buyer's Guide
The Benefits of Outdoor Toys
Every child is different. All children develop at different speeds to their peers both emotionally and intellectually but also physically. Whilst every child has different needs, there are some conclusions that can be drawn about what is useful to them in outdoor play settings. These conclusions have shaped all play equipment sold by Climbing Frames UK.
Outdoor play is crucial to a child's development. During their first two years, children love to move around. While it may be troublesome at times for a parent (especially when walking around a busy supermarket!), this new found movement is important as they are constantly developing their motor skills and building their core strength.
When a child is fully confident with moving, the next step is climbing. Our frames are designed for children aged three to ten years, so naturally we have adapted our designs to suit young adventurers. We have rounded hand grips on ladders so small hands can grasp them easily and we have made sure there are no protruding fixings on the frames so they are as safe as possible. Many of our frames feature a slatted rock wall which offers the best of both worlds to little climbers. For those who are feeling more adventurous, the climbing rocks are a natural choice for a daring ascent. For younger climbers, those who are more reserved, or in case of any wrong footing, the spaces between the slats will provide a safer ascent. The spaces between the slats are also easy to climb down.
Come four or five years old, a child's confidence is growing rapidly and they will start to need more opportunities to progress to be a mature climber. Don't worry, we've got it all sorted. Our range of products includes rung ladders, rope ladders and solid rock walls.
At this age, children are eager to learn and very confident in their abilities. Although they are willing to tackle greater challenges, they need to do so without compromising their safety. Opportunities that challenge children to discover more about themselves and their environment also help them to develop intellectually. You should therefore choose a climbing frame that will suit your child when they are older, giving them plenty of room to 'grow into it'.
Between six and seven, children are growing fast and need to be active. Climbing Frames UK has not only got a superb range of products designed to help kids develop their strength and co-ordination as well as complement your frame. We have monkey bars, trapeze bars, tyre swings.
Children at this age are also developing their sense of reasoning and imagination as well as their special awareness. A climbing frame gives kids the opportunity to let their imaginations run wild. Maybe the climbing frame is a den where thieves can stash their hoard of gems? Perhaps it is a dragon's cave with mountains of treasure piled high?
Needless to say, children grow to be more sociable with age. One of our frames will create the perfect environment for kids to meet new friends, get to know one another and have a fabulous time. It's also the best place for younger children to explore and learn about their environment. There are new textures, sounds and smells outdoors – all of which will keep youngsters occupied for hours.
No matter what your child's needs, skills, preferences or abilities (and your budget), Climbing Frames UK will be able to provide you with a frame which will tick all the boxes and look wonderful in your garden. Our sales team will be happy to help you decide which product to choose so you can give your children a long-lasting outdoor toy and a healthy, happy childhood.

More than a third of hiring managers currently have positions that have remained open for 12 weeks or longer, according to new research by CareerBuilder.
"Although the recession created an abundant pool of readily-available, unemployed talent that still exists today, employers are struggling to find new employees for technology-related occupations, sales, health care and a variety of other areas," said Brent Rasmussen, president of CareerBuilder North America.
"Two in five employers (41 percent) reported that they continuously recruit throughout the year, so that they have candidates in their pipeline in case a position opens up down the road," he said. "The skills gap that exists for high-growth, specialized occupations will become even more pronounced in the years to come, prompting the need to place a greater emphasis on reskilling workers through formal education and on-the-job training."
A nationwide survey, which was conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of CareerBuilder from May 14 to June 5, included more than 2,000 hiring managers and human resource professionals.
Among the jobs that were cited as most difficult to fill, in order of jobs added from 2010 to 2013, were:
• Sales representative – 584,792 new jobs added from 2010 to 2013; 3.8 percent job growth from 2010 to 2013
• Machine operator/assembler/production worker – 135,363 new jobs; 9.9 percent growth
• Nurse – 135,325 new jobs; 5 percent growth
• Truck driver – 113,517 new jobs; 6.7 percent growth
• Software developer – 103,708 new jobs; 11.2 percent growth
• Engineer – 73,995 new jobs; 4.9 percent growth
• Marketing professional – 57,045 new jobs; 11.3 percent growth
• Accountant – 55,670 new jobs; 4.5 percent growth
• Mechanic – 53,002 new jobs; 4.1 percent growth
• IT manager/network administrator – 48,709 new jobs; 7.5 percent growth.

Great Live Moments - Heath Brothers

The Heath brothers I have known are not confectioners who created an English toffee bar. They played jazz. Much sweeter than candy...
Saxophonist Jimmy Heath, drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath, and the late bassist/cellist Percy Heath were jazz family long before the Marsalis clan. Separately, the sum of their music making covers the totality of modern jazz - Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, the Modern Jazz Quartet. I could go on and on, but enough already! Together, the Heath Brothers were a cohesive jazz combo that brought their collective experience to the stage to form their own brand of brotherly jazz.
WBGO has recorded a number of Heath Brothers performances. They include a beautiful recording from New Jersey Performing Arts Center's Prudential Hall, as well as a club date at Iridium. And that's just during my seven year tenure at the station! In 1984, WBGO recorded The Heath Brothers on New Year's Eve. December 31, 1984 at Sweet Basil in New York. The pianist was Stanley Cowell.
Check out the Heath Brothers playing "Sleeves" from the WBGO Archives.

A few weeks ago, my fellow columnist Adam Tod Brown did something I've always wanted to do: he sat down and had dinner with me. But shortly after that, he also wrote an article called 5 One-Hit Wonders Who Deserve Your Respect. I was jealous. He got to hang with me and write cool columns? I got my laptop, a Pop-Tart, and a full-length mirror. Then I sprang into action.
Now let's remember the rules so no one's head explodes. Regardless of their talents, the following artists have had only ONE major pop hit (in the U.S., at least). So PLEASE don't write angry messages and comments about how these one-hit wonders are actually like super talented, because that's kind of the point.
One more side note. One of my favorite bands, New Zealand's Crowded House, is not on this list. Why? Because they had two big hits in America: "Don't Dream It's Over," which everyone still remembers, and "Something So Strong." But just for the record, even though only their first album was a big commercial success here, they had a huge career in Europe, they're kings of Australia and, arguably, every single album they've made is better than the one before. Lastly, frontman Neil Finn is adorably batshit insane on Twitter.
5 Bobby McFerrin
I've never met Bobby McFerrin, but I have a hard time believing he isn't one of the coolest men alive. Although he'd already won Grammys for his jazz vocal performances, most of the world didn't know who Bobby McFerrin was until he exploded onto the pop charts in 1988 with "Don't Worry, Be Happy." If you weren't there for it, I'm not sure I can fully explain how much the world lost its mind for this song and the video featuring Mr. McFerrin, Robin Williams and Bill Irwin. (Oh, if it helps the kids reading, Bill Irwin is Mr. Noodle from Sesame Street!) There were "Don't Worry, Be Happy" bumper stickers, and buttons and posters and books.
He made every sound in that song with his mouth, and affected a silly accent for the lead vocals (McFerrin was born and raised in Manhattan), but most of his new fans assumed he was just some Jamaican guy who got lucky. But Bobby McFerrin is not on this list because of his many talents. Bobby McFerrin deserves your admiration because he chose to be a one-hit wonder. He never tried to replicate his massive success. He never tried to do a sequel. He always said that the song was a one-off thing he did strictly for fun and not something he had any interest in repeating.
Let me make this even more impressive. McFerrin made this statement in the '80s -- the greediest sell out decade in modern history. The '80s saw brave rock pioneers like David Bowie turn to pure pop shit for his '85 and '87 albums. It was the decade where Bruce Springsteen, the most earnest rocker of all time, danced with Courteney Cox on stage, married a supermodel and released the genuinely cheesy album "Tunnel of Love."
Bobby McFerrin stopped at one in the '80s. It would be like if Wendy's made one "Where's the Beef?" commercial, if Stallone made one Rocky, if I thought about having sex with The Facts of Life girls just one time.
Well, not all of them.
Can you imagine the kind of pressure he faced to release another novelty song? It didn't even have to be good. He could have whipped out a turd just different enough and hit gold. Something like, I don't know, "Thank God, it's Friday":
Today my car won't start, then my lady, she break my heart/Thank God, it's Friday
My cone just lost its scoop, in my bed, my dog just poop/Thank God, it's Friday.
Thank God, it's Friday! Everybody!
La, la, la, la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da ...
Having just composed that song in under fifteen seconds, I can't believe it doesn't exist for real. There's no doubt he could have written it, but McFerrin turned his back on uber money and stop-in-the-street fame and went back to releasing Grammy-winning jazz vocals recordings only listened to by the people who vote on jazz vocal Grammys. In 1994, he was also appointed as creative chair of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and he makes regular tours as a guest conductor for symphony orchestras in the U.S. and Canada. So yeah, the biggest badass of the '80s wasn't Stallone, Schwarzenegger or Chuck Norris. It was Bobby McFerrin.
4The Church
"Under the Milky Way" was a staple of '80s alternative rock radio. What was '80s alternative rock radio, you ask? Oh, I don't know, REM, U2, the Smiths ... whatever white suburban kids said it was, I guess. In any event, this song was everywhere in the late '80s and a welcome relief from hair metal.
Although already well-known in Australia, "Under the Milky Way" was the Church's breakthrough in America, and it was a commercial success they never replicated. But regarding the Church as some no-talent fluke who could only muster one quality song would be like ... being a Mr. Wrong Guy? Sorry, I really thought I had something there.
Anyway, let's start with the fact that the Church's 1988 album Starfish is one of the strongest albums of the decade. And don't just take my word for it, take all my words for it. Every song is a strong, moody rock gem, featuring evocative lyrics, simple but stirring arrangements and searing guitar work. The Church sound nothing like Pink Floyd, but, somehow, create all the same sensations as Floyd's best work. (To see what I mean, check out "Destination.")
Last year they celebrated their 30th anniversary with a concert at the Sydney Opera House. The Church never stopped putting out quality music, even if the discerning record-buying public went on to buy more Limp Bizkit CDs than Church recordings.
