Thursday, April 26, 2012
Helga Morrow lives in Tucson, Arizona. The following is an annotated copy of an article she wrote in the Sedona Chronicles magazine.
My father hid behind the cloak of an average "John Doe draftsman," a typical 9 to 5 type of guy, when in actuality he was a very well known scientist. Knowing what I do now, it is obvious to me that, due to the nature of his work, he had access to some very top-secret information.
In May 1952, he came home from a trip very upset, distraught and totally out of control. His calm facade and usual cool demeanor had vanished. He barely said anything to Mother, brother and me. Since I always sat next to him at the end of our sofa, I noticed him writing. More and more, endless writings. Oddly enough, he got up in the wee hours of the morning and wrote and wrote and wrote 'till dawn. The more he wrote, the more distressed he became. It got worse. He started crying, the tears flowing down his cheeks. I felt then, and still feel, he was hiding something so horrible that he didn't dare speak out. His incessant writing seemed to be a silent scream. He appeared not only distraught but scared to death for me and the rest of the family. His bottled up secrets were gnawing at him constantly.
My mother sat in her corner in total silence when he was upset and my brother "took off" so he wouldn't get in the way.
He seemed to be getting worse and worse every day. He had always been interested in my school work, but somehow, this trip home, he never shared with me about my homework. I felt alone, as if he were a stranger in our midst. His face became that of a frightened man
All I did was say, "What's wrong, what can I do to help?" That did it! He jumped up, thrust his notes in my face and screamed, "It's all lies! Lies! They are lying to all of us. This whole world is a damned lie! You should not have been born. They are only going to select certain ones. The little man has no say, we are nothing. They are planning a damn war in 1966 where the blacks and the whites will kill each other off so a certain part of the population will be thinned out. The war will be devastating, the likes of which we've never seen in America in this century. A blood bath.
"It is useless for you to have a child, although if you select the right person to breed with, there may be hope for you. Otherwise, they will check out the child's background (the father) and it will be another reject. For God's sake, check out the father of your unborn child. Make damn sure his background is clean - no alcoholics, nothing but pure, healthy mental and physical bodies, no criminals or convicted felons and, above all, above-normal intelligence and attractive appearance - an intelligent jerk won't do either. Those who have inbred (certain ethnic groups) because of their religion have innate blood diseases and will be eliminated as inferior unless they intermarry."
I said, finally, after this strange tirade, "What are you screaming for Daddy? I just want you to tell me now why are you screaming at me? I did nothing wrong"
He yelled, "After they have messed up this planet they are going to start over again some where else, on the moon, on Mars - they are putting us there in colonies. They are being set up now. The governments of the world are all conspiring to set this up!
I thought he had flipped. Not saying anything, my mother ran to the phone and called the police.
"You will see mass destruction in your lifetime. When you're 55 you will remember my words. They may kill me, but my words will live on. You will find out who I really am..."
With that the police came to the door. My mother and brother finally got their way. Daddy was severely clubbed with their night sticks until his unconscious body was dragged into the paddy wagon.
My mother told the cops, "He's a nut who believes in flying saucers, and I want him behind bars in the nearest mental institution." We had no car and went to the police station in the police car. It was a horrible nightmare.
Mother told me we could see Daddy every Wednesday. A dear friend and coworker from Martin Marietta (name withheld) drove us. There he sat in his barren room. No voice, no emotion, no eye movement. He looked as if he were in a catatonic state.
Later, I noticed men (in trench coats) questioning my mother at home. She always said they were friends from the Martin company. Frankly, I knew she didn't know who the heck they were. I'd come home from school and I'd see them leave. Looking back now, I'd say they looked very much like the Secret Service men I've seen many times since.
The men in trench coats always came once a week to bring my father's paycheck and ask about his progress. They were very interested in what Daddy had said before he left. Mother was told to burn his writings which she did, however, I still remember some of them.
The news from the hospital was that Daddy was coming home for a visit in August. I was happy. Even though he had survived the brutal shock treatments, his well-being was precarious. My father spoke in soft, guarded sentences. It was just polite family conversation. Nothing earth-shattering happened during the visit. Again, we bade farewell and he went back to the hospital. A few weeks later, in September, he was released. Oddly enough, during this very traumatic experience, he was still carrying a top-secret clearance with his company. even after three to four months in the hospital. Evidently, he was too important for them to fire.
Alternative 3, by Leslie Watkins with David Ambrose and Christopher Miles (published by Sphere Books, England) is one of the most controversial books of our time. At one point it was permanently removed from bookshelves and banned worldwide. It tells about colonies being formed on the moon and Mars, populated by the foremost people in every field of endeavor (whether kidnapped, selected or persuaded) in an attempt to save the best segment of the population from the certain disaster of the greenhouse effect. These colonies are purported to house everything from selected breeders to scientists. It's clear to me now that my Father was worried about my chances of being "selected" if I were to breed with the "wrong type" of specimen. He was terrified that my offspring would not be good enough to be among the selected few to survive and propagate in the new colonies.
No one knew of his breakdown or his affiliation with flying saucers. The hospital diagnosed him as paranoid-schizophrenic because he talked about flying saucers and aliens. But the doctors assured my mother this was harmless illusion, that he'd get out of it eventually.
Well, things were all quiet, until we got news from Daddy that he was to live permanently in Denver, Colorado. Mother refused to go because of the high altitude in Colorado. A lot of engineers who had transferred to Colorado had died of heart attacks (seemingly because of the thin air). Many of my father's fellow engineers dropped dead within one to two years of being transferred there. On some occasions, my school called my mother to find out who I was or what kind of American I was. The neighbors were also questioned.
On very rare occasions, I'd sneak into my father's bedroom and look at the pictures of the flying saucers. Not even my mother knew about them. But I knew his secret hiding places and I knew I was being prepared for something in the future. Age 5 seemed so far away. When I figure it out in 1952, 1992 seemed so distant. I pictured myself as an old lady. But something in this madness made sense; someday I would be able to share my story safely.
I think he knew that the real issues were hidden behind smoke screens, and that, unfortunately, the smoke screens were what made headlines. He believed that racial wars were not spontaneously triggered by a minor incident but by well planned, clandestine operations, in an attempt at genocide - to "thin out" the population. He saw the women's movement, even abortion rights, as the eventual control of women for selective breeding. He always said communism was a joke to create friction between believers and non-believers, a cloud to obscure truth. The stupidity of Lincoln was to have freed the slaves and then not give them real freedom. This, he thought, was the injustice that would lead to racial wars.
He also mentioned that I should have only one child if I did decide to breed. Love was not in his vocabulary, except to love one's fellow man, as in mankind.
He told me that there would be a time when beings the government deemed inferior would not be allowed to reproduce, that the government would eventually decide for us. "That is why it's important for you to breed with the right person, at the right time, when you grow up. Breeding is more important. An intelligent female with a below average male will produce inferior children. It's a question of breeding only superior beings with superior beings. They won't be hurt - just not allowed to breed, so their inferior genes will become extinct. This is the only way the human race can breed out criminals, murderers, violence, diseases and genetic disorders. This is what they have achieved in other star systems. This is not the only star system. There are endless varieties of galaxies. They walk among us, breed with us and have integrated into our civilization. We (the scientists) are working on this now."
What about our 'gifted children" programs? How are these children being observed? What statistics are being gathered and what are they used for? Where is the information going?
My father felt that our seed must be perfect - strong - so that no one person or group could take away our rights of make us prisoners on Earth or on another planet. Mental and spiritual training are vital to strength, as is discipline. The incorruptible who adhere to the will of God will survive on this planet. Speak and live only the truth!
I believe that Helgas father knew what was coming in the future and the powers that be did not want him to let people know so they locked him up and probably kept him drugged. I found this a very important article because of what is taking place right now.
Hi Aileen,
This article on Helga kind of corresponds with a book I just read (and bought). It is called: BATTLE HYMN. The author is John Scura/Dane Phillips. It is a very scary book. The author is a journalist along with his co-author. They have dug up a lot of information and they give references to look up. I did on one of them about the Health Care Section 2521 which (they) said was implemented. It has NOT been implemented yet. The other one they did research on was the Codex Alimentarious Bill 4872. It HAS been passed and in place.
By the way the author was on C2C about a month ago. Although I bought the book, I think you can get it from your public library.

First I met a baby named Audrina (yes, after that Audrina)
and then I saw this:
and that's how I know it's shaping up to be a very good day.
and then I saw this:
and that's how I know it's shaping up to be a very good day.
Just kidding. We all saw this coming. I'm sure TMZ has had this article written for months and just had to insert "Friday." Go HERE more details.
Thanks to CLRB for the hot tip.
Then try this on for size:
CT is the Southie of Ben Affleck's dreams (and nightmares). Trust me on this, SO GOOD. I can't be the only one watching, right? Out yourselves!
The Challenge: Rivals, tonight on MTV at 8:00 MST.
Aw! Here's my dilemma: My jealous brain is telling me to attack Gage, to heap verbal destruction on him until there is blood dripping down my chin and tufts of blond hair in my teeth and carrion birds circling overhead.
But my heart tells me that I can't. For one thing, look how happy Jeff is. He's smiling, he's hugging freely, he's getting some 25 year old ass. I myself am deeply familiar with the allure of the younger man--Frank is 3 months younger than I--and it would be hypocritical, not to mention cruel, for me to deny Jeff this pleasure.
Then there is Gage himself. In this episode, we witness him blushingly admit to eating 8-13 brownies in one sitting. At work. How can I hate someone who is so undisciplined when it comes to chocolate? How can I hate someone who is so much like myself? I am required to accept him as a brother.
I know Gage is sitting at his computer right now, sweating bullets, hitting refresh, refresh, waiting to see if I am going to give this relationship my blessing or whether I am going to drive to LA to murder him. Rest easy, Gage. I approve. All bets are off, however, if there is any making out on camera. Then we'll have to go back to the blood dripping down the chin scenario.
All right! Now that we have that out of the way, let's recap the season 5 premiere of Flipping Out:
1. In the vacuum between last season and this one, Valley Oak has sold and Jeff Lewis Design has moved into a new house. It's a smaller space, forcing everyone to work in tight quarters. Trace has been installed inches from Jeff's face because Jeff believes he's been sending too many personal emails. Trace laments his proximity to "the crazy" and longs to trade places with Sarah, who works two feet away at the dining room table.
Jeff reports that Sarah has not been making as many mistakes, but she's still "just a little slower than the rest of the kids."
All of this commentary is very important foreshadowing, as it has been hinted all over the internets that someone gets fired this season. That makes me nervous. The kind of nervous that involves a toilet.
2. Gage is introduced as Jeff's business manager and significant other (it does stick in my throat, I must admit) and we learn that Jeff has a speaking engagement at the San Francisco Design Center. In what proves to be a critical scene, Jeff tells Gage that he doesn't want to attend the cocktail party before or the reception after. He is contractually obligated to one hour of speaking, he says, and that's it. So fuck you motherfuckers.
Gage convinces him to do the cocktail party, but Jeff puts his foot down on the reception afterwards.
"I'm happy to get bombed with these people but it will be a cold day in hell before I eat dry chicken and sip Pelligrino with them."
3. Sarah is talking to the camera about Gage and calls him a baby, "and by baby, I mean [pause] babydoll." As she says this, she pats her heart lovingly.
Sarah, if you get fired, I would like to hire you as a close friend. It would be more like an unpaid internship, and there would be some babysitting and light housekeeping involved, but I think we'd both really get a lot out of it.
(Oh, and for those of you who think I'm getting all soft by liking everyone on this show, my therapist tells me it's ENCOURAGING and a POSTIVE STEP and I thank you in advance not to RIDE MY ASS ABOUT IT.)
4. At lunch, Jeff announces to Zoila that he and Gage are thinking about legally adopting her.
Wow, this must be a new trend, adopting these older girls! My own husband has expressed an interest in adopting a 22 year old fitness model from Sweden. That's my man--so generous and big-hearted. I'm not convinced it's a good idea at this time, but I promised Frank I'd think about it.
Anyhow, Jeff and Gage's hearts are in the right place, but adoption would give Zoila even more incentive to kill them. It's a legitimate concern.
5. Skipping to the drama--Jeff, Gage, and Jenni fly to San Francisco (in a private plane a la Skinnygirl) and head straight to the cocktail party. It's crowded and hot and everyone wants to touch him, and this pretty much sums it up:
"It's work," he says to the camera. But he's handling it very well. He's approaching groups and posing for photos and chatting amiably, UNTIL. Until Lisa, a blonde pixie-haired woman from California Home and Design magazine, confronts Jeff, Real Housewives style (i.e. AN AMBUSH). Guess who was sponsoring Jeff's visit and paying for his fancy hotel and just wanted a little lunch reception?
Oh shit. Oooooooh shit! The mood has turned from party to nasty. Jeff tries to buy time. "What did I do?" he asks. "What did I do again?" She tells him that he canceled the reception two days before, and it was an embarrassment to her and her clients. She is flushed and ANGRY. Jeff is shiny and stumbling and trying to buy time while pleading with his eyes to someone, anyone, the camera guy, Andy Cohen, HELP ME. Mercifully, Gage appears out of thin air at Jeff's side. "I looked like a dick," Jeff is telling Lisa, and Lisa agrees, "you looked like a dick."
As flustered as Jeff is, Gage is cool. Smoooooth.
Jeff: Oh God, I'm going to puke in public. Breathe, Jeff. Breathe!
Gage: Chill, baby! It's no good for a lady as fine as you to get all worked up."
Both of them apologize profusely and what to know what they can do to rectify the situation, but Lisa's all "THE DAMAGE IS DONE." To the camera, Gage accepts 100% of the blame. This is why Jeff loves him.
6. There is a short scene, presented without explanation, wherein a man named Guillermo takes photos of Sarah on a job site.
I enjoyed it.
7. Jenni, Gage and Jeff are headed to the speaking engagement. Jeff wants hand signals from Jenni if he starts to ramble, or if he gets too sweaty, or does some unspecified thing with his foot. He's nervous and vulnerable and it's all very sexy.
Backstage, he's pacing and Bravo's playing a song that is very reminiscent of Lose Yourself by Eminem and it is so intense, like he's heading into some sort of battle rather than a Q & A in front of a bunch of design geeks.
The actual speaking begins and he's fine, he's funny, but I can't really concentrate because in the corner of my tv screen, there is a pulsating platinum hatred radiating from Lisa in the audience. She will not forget the canceled luncheon for as long as she lives. NEVER!
8. There's a bunch of other stuff, like how Jeff is working on approximately 48 projects and did a remodel for this lady Marlo who was unhappy and complainy with Jeff and Sarah but I think it's mostly because she just broke up with her fiance and her life is in broken pieces. But they shared hug at the end and it was all fine.
Your thoughts? Don't hold back.
1. My brother played "Money Can't Buy You Class" at his wedding reception this weekend. As you might expect, it cleared the dance floor but the 4 people remaining (one of whom was yours truly) were singing along exhuberantly and having seizures of ecstacy.
Incidentally, if you ever get invited to a wedding in which the bride's younger sister has the nickname "The Animal," YOU SHOULD GO.
2. I tried to catch up with RHONY last night, but those old hags whine and bicker more than my children, which is really saying something. I'm not up for it, to be quite honest, especially since I can't send them to their rooms and then force them to hug each other.
"Oh yeah? Well, you're a poopy fart face who poops in a fart butt!"
3. Season 5 of Flipping Out premieres tonight. Guess what? This may be the Tylenol PM speaking, but I am having warm feelings for Gage, Jeff's boyfriend:
It was the "good luck to you in the future" that did it. Frank occasionally does that to me on the phone after we've had a disagreement. He'll end the call with "have a nice life" and I'll say something like, "same to you, my friend." And that's how people who love each other tell each other to fuck off.
Fair warning to Andy Cohen if he tries a nudey bathtub scene on this show--
I will fly to New York and personally punch you in the nuts. Think about it, Andy. Think about it.

I´m back with another interview for you! Today, I´m having Urban Fantasy and Romance author Lori Brighton over to chat with me about her books, writing and stuff!
Please welcome Lori!
For all those who haven´t heard about your book, please tell us what "The Ghost Hunter" about?
Sure! The Ghost Hunter is a contemporary paranormal romance, available in ebook format. I'll give you the blurb:
When Ashley Hunter inherits the Inn where her father mysteriously vanished years ago, she jumps at the chance to finally uncover the truth about his disappearance. But soon after taking ownership of the decrepit building, Ashley realizes she's in for far more than she bargained. Not only has she inherited answers to many sought-after questions, she's also inherited spirits, demons and even fallen angels! Then Cristian arrives, a gorgeous man who insists he merely needs a room to rent. She believes him, until one by one her ghosts start disappearing.
As a fallen angel destined for a life of servitude, Cristian Lucius is relegated to protecting earth from unwanted spirits. But he can't accomplish this daunting task alone. He requires assistance from the very woman who frustrates him as much as she intrigues him. Cristian is determined to ignore his intense attraction for Ashley, and focus on his mission. If they don't work together, they won't have a chance in hell of defeating the demon threatening their lives. The problem is getting Ashley to trust him. No easy task, for Cristian is the very man responsible for her father's disappearance.
On your homepage I read that you are living in the Midwest. Your book however is set in England. Why the change of location? Is the Midwest too boring for an exciting fantasy novel?
LoL! Depends on where you live. Actually, I'm of the belief that there is something interesting about every place. But I'm in the south now, just haven't gotten around to changing my website.
My debut book was a historical set in England because I love the area and because (according to publishers) that's what sells (books placed in England). I guess that location never left my mind. But it's also the historical depth you find there and the paranormal possibilities. In the United States you're more limited if you want to find places of historical significance. Although I was just vacationing in St. Augustine, Florida and it totally changed my mind. The history there is amazing. All kinds of possibilities for ghosts!
The accents are incredibly realistic. Did you have a native speaker who helped you with them or are you some kind of expert on accents?
I'm so glad you think they're realistic! I was on the fence about doing accents. They always tell you that trying to write an accent in a book is a big NO, that readers will get annoyed with them. I went with my gut on that. So far no one has complained. I wish I could say I became an expert on accents when I went to Spy school. But no, I'm no expert. lol. I actually checked out some books written by natives of the area. So I found an Irish author when writing the Irish accent.
Did you do any kind of research for your books? Were you actually in England or did you do most of the research online?
Thank god for the internet! Yes, most of my research is done online. But I have been to England. Was a wonderful experience! I hope to go back soon.
In your book, the usual suspects in the Urban Fantasy genre play are only supporting characters. What in your opinion makes the appeal of Fallen Angels and ghosts?
Ghosts are so universal! You're not just dealing with the paranormal when you write about ghosts, but you're also dealing with the afterlife and what happens when we die. Everyone wonders about that.
As for Angels, to me they are certainly appealing. Readers love the idea of a very bad guy with a heart of gold. In my opinion the idea of a Fallen Angel personifies that.
Tell us a little bit about the world of the fallen angels in your book. Can you share anything that hasn´t made it into the book?
I don't necessarily agree with the ideas in my book, but that's the great thing about inventing your own story, anything goes. We've all heard the story of Angels escorting the dead to Heaven. In this version, my Fallen Angels are being punished by escorting the more reluctant dead.
As for the book, you know, I'm not one of those writers who plan in detail her plot ahead of time, so pretty much anything I think up as I'm writing goes into the story. I did delete a secondary character because I was trying to cut word count and the number of characters.
Can we hope for more books about sexy Fallen Angels?
I hope so! We'll see. I'd love to write a book about Devon, a secondary character in The Ghost Hunter. But honestly, it will depend on how well The Ghost Hunter sells.
Beside "The Ghost Hunter", you´ve got another book published called "Wild Heart". Can you give a summary about it?
Sure! Wild Heart is the first book in a two book series. The second book, Wild Desire, will be available in March. These are Victorian historicals with paranormal elements. Wild Heart is a bit darker and moodier. Wild Desire more adventurous and fun.
Can you name the key ingredients of your books in short words?
Adventure, mystery and romance.
What project(s) are you currently working on?
I have a Young Adult book that is with two editors right now. As for what to work on next…hmm, I'm really not sure! I have another Contemporary Paranormal I've started. I might finish that up. But I do love historicals too and have a couple projects I could work on in that genre. I tend to work on whatever I'm in the mood to write that day.
Where do you get your inspiration from? Music, books, TV shows or real life?
I get inspiration from everything! Movies, books, T.V. shows, maybe the News. I just went on a Ghost Walking tour of St. Augustine and the stories they told were amazing! There are certainly lots of book you could get from that. As for my newest book, I got the idea for The Ghost Hunter after going on The Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World.
How does your typical writing day look like? Do you have a special routine?
I should write during the day when I have time, but as much as I try, I'm a night owl. I love to stay up late. Of course I always regret it when I have to get up early the next morning.
What is the hardest part about being an author?
It's not the writing aspect. It's the afterwards. Worrying that no one will like your book, worrying you won't sell enough copies to get another contract. And as much as authors like to deny it, bad reviews do hurt. Imagine working on a project for 6 months and your boss telling you it sucks!
A question that I am always curious about (but could be kind of personal) is: are your characters based on people you really know or maybe even a little bit about yourself or are they all purely fictional?
I'd say they've got a lot of me in them. There are quirks I will take from people I know or see, interesting habits. But I haven't written a character yet based solely on someone.
Did you ever have a writer´s block? If so, what did you do to deal with it?
So far I've never had writer's block. There are times I don't feel like writing, but I just force myself to, even if the writing isn't great.
Tell us something about your favourites:
favourite paranormal creature?
Fallen Angels of course! I like Vampires too. But for me it's not so much about the creature, but more about how the author writes the creature.
favourite all time hero/heroine?
Not sure about heroines, but as for heroes, any hero from a Julie Garwood book. I think she writes the best heroes ever.
favourite meal?
Seriously, I don't think I could pick just one.
Which one do you prefer, book or e-reader?
A year ago I would have said printed book. I'm still leaning a little more toward print but just because I love to collect signed books. But I'm definitely more open to ebooks now because I have so many friends who are writing ebooks, and, of course, because I've written an ebook.
favourite distraction?
Television! I love my T.V. shows. And there are too many to list!
Is there a book you love above all? One that had a great influence on you or your life?
Guardian Angel by Julie Garwood. It was the first romance I read. I totally fell in love with Romance novels after reading that book.
Has there ever been a major catastrophe with your laptop while writing? How many backup copies of your scripts do you have?
So far no catastrophe, knock on wood. I shudder at the thought of it! I often send my books to my email account as an attachment because I'm too lazy to constantly save it.
A question that is inspired by another interview I did with an author: If you would be Superman, what would be your cryptonite?
Hmm, something tangible? Chocolate.
What are you reading at the moment/planning to read/waiting for to be released?
Well, I just went through my final copy edits for Wild Desire. Usually when you've gone over one of your own books that many times, you're kind of sick of it. But I actually still enjoyed reading it! It's a lot of fun. So now I'm just waiting for March, when it will be out in bookstores, available as a printed book and ebook.
I've also started going through my Young Adult book once more. As I mentioned, it's with two editors. If they reject it I will immediately self publish it in Ebook format on Amazon. So it will be out sometime soon either way! It was a really fun book, a totally unique paranormal. At least, I guess you'd call it paranormal.
And now I just have to decide what project to work on next!
And finally: Is there anything you want to say to your/my readers?
Readers are so incredibly important to an author's career. I don't think they realize how important they are. So if you enjoy a book, please tell your friends!
I have to say that meeting so many wonderful people is the best thing about becoming an author. I have met amazing readers and bloggers from all over the world, people who have taken time out of their busy days to help promote my book or email to tell me how much they enjoyed my story. It means so much to me and I appreciate everyone!
Thanks so much for this fun interview! It´s been a great pleasure! Please come back anytime you want!

InspireNet Leadership Council (ILC)
Update, Sep 2015:
Since its inception in 2009, the network has adopted a collaborative leadership model engaging leaders from academic and practice settings. InspireNet's leadership model is in a state of transition as the network seeks partnerships to sustain the network after its funding has ended.
The Management Team is stable and continues to lead the network through this transition.
Until recently, strategic leadership was carried out by the volunteer InspireNet Leadership Council (ILC). We acknowledge with thanks the contributions of past ILC members, listed below. Through their efforts, InspireNet has positioned itself as BC's health services research network, leveraging a virtual platform to bring together over 4,000 members.
A new advisory body will be determined and announced when the future of the network is clear.

text: The third trimester was quite busy, so I went on hiatus. From wrapping up little things around the house, to projects at work, to by bi-weekly OB appointments I had little free time. Yes - bi-weekly appointments with ultrasounds at each one. The upside to being high risk for some scary complications is that I was able to see my little munchkin a whole lot! Even better upside is that most of the complications the doctors were concerned about we didn't ever encounter, and our little bundle arrived December 4th!

Love Me Do: Pete Best, Ringo Starr, Andy White
Pete Best:
Ringo Starr:
Andy White:
The history was (to the best of my knowledge), after Best recorded some songs the Beatles' manager was not happy and replaced him with Starr. They recorded this song, and still unhappy, the Beatles hired session drummer Andy White to play for the US release of the single.
I think this is a rare opportunity to compare 3 drummers in a controlled environment. I'm pretty sure none played to a click-track, and each was recorded along with the Beatles without any punch-ins. I'm curious as to your notes about the drummers, but here's mine:
Pete Best had the worst pocket of them, and I can see why they wanted to replace him. His tempo wavered and dragged after certain transitions. When he plays on the offbeats it's pretty jarring.
Starr had much better control over his timing but wasn't consistent in his snare hits. They mixed his bass drum low (on purpose), possibly also due to consistency. A nice improvement though.
White had a deep pocket, played consistently, and was tight with the bass line. It felt very smooth, and he had control over a key dynamic in the song that the others missed on.
Right now I'm about where Pete Best's version is in terms of timing and control and I want to get to Andy White's version level, and these examples really helped paint the contrast of how much better a song can sound with a perfect drum track. I thought it was pretty cool.

Re: Love Me Do: Pete Best, Ringo Starr, Andy White
Back then there was NO click track.I agree with you about Pete Best..his time was all over the place not in a good way.Ringo was replaced on the single verson of the tune by George Martin the Beatles producer.He was not confident In Ringo because he was basicly new to the band but he was familiar with Andy.Ringo plays tamborine on the track.Ringo plays on the album version of the tune and the mix is how Martin wanted it in retrospect.I think The bass part is just fine and Ringo pocket is great as usual.To this day..George Martin has said he regretted replacing Ringo on that track .I personally like Ringo's version ...and think the mix is where the song should be.Part of the genius of the Beatles/Martin combo is knowing what to keep and what to cut.
Steve B
Re: Love Me Do: Pete Best, Ringo Starr, Andy White
Just saw this reply...
Thats interesting... I mean I agree Ringo has great time in this recording, especially for just joining the band. His mix has his drums and cymbals pretty far back, not really leading but taking a back seat to the rest of the members. Sounds almost folksy with the clapping / harmonica being so upfront. Andy's mix has him more in the forefront, it sounds more like he's leading and the whole song is a little bit more "rocking" or driving. Listening to them one more time, I'm leaning towards Andy's mix but I think that's just personal taste. Both drummers did a great job here. It's just interesting to be able to compare these drummers in a controlled environment like this.

Re: Love Me Do: Pete Best, Ringo Starr, Andy White
Yuk, that Pete Best version was horrible. Not so much him, but the vocals sound dog tired and the tempo just drags like it has no energy. Best did try to jazz up the Bridge section with some off beat syncs, but it does sound like his timing is off base. I do like the thought of jazzing that bridge up a bit, though - just not like that. Sometimes Ringo listened too much to the producers/engineers, particularly the early years.

For my Full Moon tarot reading I felt the urge to use two decks at the same time. I took turns drawing a card for each deck at each placement spot and the results were spectacular. In a ten card spread, the 8 of Pentacles from both decks popped up in the reading. A card could not appear twice in a reading using one deck, unless you replace the card every time…hey, maybe I will try that next.
While I am at it, I thought I would share the decks I currently use…
The Halloween Tarot is exactly what it sounds like… all the pictures look like they take place around Halloween time. The suits are: Ghosts (water/cups), Pumpkins (earth/pentacles), Imps (fire/wands) and Bats (air/swords). Each image is brightly colored in mostly blacks, oranges, greens and purples with playful scenes of trick or treating, haunted mansions and night-fright scenes. The book that comes with the cards does a good-enough job in translating the card meanings, but I mostly use the deck for the fun and spooky cards. This deck has responded very well to my energy and likes to be used for general readings.
The Medicine Woman Tarot Deck has one of the most spiritual and profound books that I have ever read. I found this book at a used book store a while back and it didn't have the cards with it, but the book alone was insightful to read. The focus of the text is about opening and awakening your spiritual path and has a native american theme. I finally purchased the deck (originally made in 1990). The suits are: Stones (earth), Pipes (fire), Arrows (air) and Bowls (water). The images are hand-drawn in ink and look to be colored in with water color. I use this deck for readings that coincide to deep spirituality (so, most of the time I use this deck 🙂 )

Laurel Canyon
Lisa Cholodenko's Laurel Canyon is about a straight-laced couple (Christian Bale and Kate Beckinsale) who move to California to temporarily stay with Bale's successful and eccentric record producer mother (Frances McDormand). The two are slowly absorbed into McDormand's bohemian lifestyle – Beckinsale willingly, Bale not so much – with predictable results.
A reasonably enjoyable movie, mostly for McDormand's performance, with some pretty cool scenes/reference points. Choice among them: The band McDormand is recording (which sounds like Chris Martin from Coldplay fronting the Folk Implosion – mostly because if IS some British mook with Lou Barlow and Russ Pollard as his backing band) playing Sparklehorse's "Someday I Will Treat You Good". Kate Beckinsale doing a striptease to Serge Gainsbourg's "Bonnie & Clyde". Mark Linkous and Daniel Lanois playing guitar together at a CD wrap party. Kate Beckinsale frolicking in a pool in her underwear. A really impressive soundtrack featuring Mercury Rev, Sparklehorse (Linkous was all over this film), Baxter Drury and Anna Waronker, among others. And Kate Beckinsale. Oh sorry, did I already mention her?

How to make culture your nonprofit advantage
Culture Eats Strategy for Lunch is about the fragile balance between two forces on your organization—rational and emotional. Both are necessary to create a culture at every level of your organization.
Culture Eats authors Coffman and Sorensen argue that our strategies and tactics can either take a bite out of our culture or ignite the passion within it. The authors claim that as leaders, managers and employees, we must actively own the cultures to which we belong to draw out the best climate that is conducive to our business imperatives.
The reality about culture
Every organization has a culture, whether you cultivate it or not. The question is will you nurture your culture so it becomes your competitive advantage or choose to ignore it and hope for the best? Many nonprofits hope their noble missions will have a halo effect on their cultures.
The reality is nonprofits may need culture management more than most due to workplace challenges such as fewer resources for programming budgets, perks and pay. Coffman and Sorensen argue that culture is the X Factor when it comes to pushing your competitive advantage, delivering on your brand and ensuring strategies are fulfilled. The advantage nonprofits do have is plenty of purpose, which the authors explain is a critical ingredient for building a strong culture.
Culture questions asked and answered
We asked Curt Coffman and Kathie Sorensen about their unique idea of a Cultural P&L and about how leaders can have an impact on MicroCulture:
CausePlanet: Curt and Kathie, thank you for writing this book that focuses on culture as a means to success and competitive advantage. How did you come up with the idea of Cultural P&L (Profit and Loss)? What exactly does it involve?
Coffman and Sorensen: Every effective business leader knows the value of the P&L. Without it, you would be "guessing" about the outcomes that are critical to your business. The idea of a Cultural P&L is to provide the same kind of attentiveness for what has historically been hard to assess–the culture itself. Rather than seeing culture or even employee engagement as a once-a-year "outcome," we see culture as evolving throughout the year and requiring a relentless interest to manage it effectively.
The three levels of culture, MacroCulture, MicroCulture and Bridge, are all a part of the P&L and help us understand the power of attraction within the culture and the degree of productive energy and connections around our line-of-sight. While the P&L will take the shape of the organization, the vigilance practiced helps ensure that the culture aligns with the brand and creates competitive advantage.
CausePlanet: You discuss at great length how the individual, not the leadership, in the MicroCulture is responsible for the culture. How can leaders then steer the culture in the right direction and motivate individuals to create a positive culture?
Coffman and Sorensen: Leaders can't mandate culture, but they can encourage it through their active interest in their people's perspectives, talents, ideas and needs. What leaders pay attention to creates focus in the larger organization. Asking about collaboration, partnership and new ideas means that leaders can bring about more of those strengths.
Great leaders ask about the elements of culture they want to see more of. The leader controls three things in making culture a competitive advantage: 1) brand, 2) future and 3) strategy. But, leaders can take a scalpel to culture if their role isn't well defined.
MicroCulture is the most local team that shares similar goals and focus. The onus of culture is really activated or squashed at this level. The role of the micro level is to activate and sustain productive energy in one another. This is where execution, quality and true productivity lie.
If you're tired of looking at financials, give the Cultural P&L a try. Coffman and Sorensen assure you that a consistent focus on culture will soon become your best insurance for a solid future.

Wow...than you so much. I had an old excel doc that was fantastic, but needed formula editing, and I had forgotten my password. You're the best.Bret Sorkness
Thank you very much for your product. It really helped me.
Dear Company,
I want to comment on your product. Like so many people I placed a
password protection on an Excel file that I did not want anyone
having access to and then forgot the password. I tried many free
password unlock programs all of which did not work and consumed
many hours. I also tried a purchased software ($30.00) that did
not work. This product kept locking up my computer and also took
many hours. I tried your demo and the password was unlocked in a
flash. I am serious in a flash. I then purchased your product and
quickly had my entire file unlocked. This is an amazing product.
I wish I had found your product before trying all those others.
Thank you again.

Tonight at church services we watched the first episode of Following the Messiah from Appian Media.
I promised some friends to share a few of my pictures from the same locations, so here they are.
You can also watch the episode by visiting the Appian Media website. There is a link to the video on the first page.
The Church of the Nativity is an interesting structure as it contains different sections for the Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholics. They both share sections of the Grotto of the Nativity, a cave that is the traditional location where Jesus was born.
One of the places shown in the video is the traditional spot of the birth of Jesus which is marked with a silver star with fourteen points which represent the generations in the genealogy of Jesus.
So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations. (Matthew 1:17 ESV)
The star is shown in the video, but here is a picture that shows the entire star.
Just a few meters away from the traditional birth location is the traditional location of the manger where Jesus was laid. If you look closely you can see a painting behind the screen that shows Jesus laying in a manger.
Mangers were sometimes carved out of natural rock formations, which may have happened for the original. The manger here is made from marble, but of course was constructed much later.
There was a lady with the group of tourists just ahead of us who had a little baby doll that she laid in the manger before praying over it.
The video also had a section showing shepherds in the field. This picture is not from Israel, but from Turkey, but does show a shepherd watching part of his flock.
The narrators talk about Joseph and Mary bringing Jesus to the Temple on the eighth day. They share information while standing on the Roman road that passed under the large arched stairway that is in the middle of this illustration.
The road is damaged from the large stones that were thrown down during the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D.
After the video I shared additional information and answered questions that others had. One of the things I shared was about these stones.
One of the stones is shown on the right in the picture above. It has an inscription on it that indicates it is where the priest would stand to blow the trumpet at the start of sabbath each week.
There is a replica of this stone in the place where it ended up on the road after being pushed from the top of the Temple Mount.
We really enjoyed watching the episode, especially as some of us are going to Israel later this year and will see some of the same places.

These photographs on a fine fall day are from October 17, 2009. Lyndy, Evan and I found ourselves in Lyndon, Kansas, county seat of Osage County. This shot shows the current courthouse, which opened in 1922. This courthouse replaced the previous building, which is still standing next door.
This courthouse opened in 1887, replacing an even earlier one which had been built in 1875. This is a beautiful building, and very well preserved.

These are by far the best non slip shoes in this price range that I have ever had, and it's not even close.
I have no had my current pair for almost a year, and the treading is just about as good as day one. I put about 60 hours a week in these shoes, and in all conditions inside and out, and have zero complaints.
I can't recommend these enough.

I burn out shoes in kitchen like you would not believe but these shoes hold up very well, at my job. On most days on my feet I walk 1.5 to 2.5 miles in these shoe at burning paste each day, sometimes short of running.
I have yet see any other shoe brand hold up 1-3 months, let alone 7 months. Two sets of SRM6100 can last me a whole year. They are good shoes!

I like the style of the shoe, but just could not find a wide enough width to where my pinky toe is not squished.

These shoes are very comfortable and work well for the 10 hours/day that I spend on my feet. The slip resistance also seems to be very good because I have not slipped at all. It's also nice that they have my size, which is 11 1/2 EW and not an easy size to find. I hope they keep making this model because I'd like to get another pair when I need work shoes again.
From Our Customers"I know that our work-related slips and falls have declined so far and fully expect there to be far less than previous years when we were not wearing slip resistant footwear. Kudos to SR Max for a wonderful product and excellent service." — Sue D. Marrero Healthcare

Jesus' Surrender of Himself.
* Christ also loved the Church, and gave Himself up for it; that He might sanctify it; that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle ; but that it should be holy and without blemish.'—Eph. V. 25-27.
SO great and wonderful was the work that Jesus had to do for the sinner, that nothing less was necessary than that He should give Himself to do that work. So great and wonderful was the love of Jesus towards us, that He actually gave Himself for us and to us. So great and wonderful is the surrender of Jesus, that all that same thing for which He gave Himself can actually and completely come to pass in us. For Jesus, the Holy, the Almighty, has taken it upon Himself to do it: He gave "m. ].*.«- Himself for us.i And now the one thins
SO; Eph. v. 2. » °
«1'Titu?tLiSI' that is necessary is that we should rightly understand and firmly believe this His surrender for us.
To what end, then, was it that He gave Himself for the Church? Hear what God says. In S^col if'22; order that He might sanctify it, in order that it uiis!t.2s,M. might be without blemish.2 This is the aim of
Jesus. This His aim He will reach in the soul according as the soul falls in with it so as to make this also its highest portion, and then relies upon Jesus' surrender of Himself to do it.
Hear still a word of God: 'Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a people for His own possession, zealous of good works.'i Yes: titan.u it is to prepare for Himself a pure people, a people of His own, a zealous people, that Jesus gives Himself. When I receive Him, when I believe that He gave Himself to do this for me, I shall certainly experience it. I shall be purified through Him, shall be held fast as His possession, and be filled with zeal and joy to work for Him.
And mark, further, how the operation of this surrender of Himself will especially be that He shall then have us entirely for Himself: 'that He might present us to Himself,' ' that He might purify us to Himself, a people of His own.' The more I understand and contemplate Jesus' surrender of Himself for me, the more do I give myself again to Him. The surrender is a mutual one: the love comes from both sides. His giving of Himself makes such an impression on my heart, that my heart with the self-same love and joy becomes entirely His. Through giving Himself to me, He of Himself takes possession of me; He becomes mine and I His.
I know that I have Jesus wholly for me, and o?S.^vf: It! that He has me wholly for Him.i w! low. A And how come I then to the full enioyment

U-W- of this blessed life? 'I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me and

The other day I found myself thinking about Ina Garten. I love her as much as you can love a 64-year old, former nuclear policy wonk/budget writer, author, gourmand, home entertaining super-star that you don't really know. And I totally credit Ina with inspiring me to cook-- I mean really cook, for the first time, which happened about 3 years ago. She got me to value high-quality ingredients, delve into seasonal cooking and, okay, decadent desserts too. Time is flying because it's more than a year and a half since I met her at this book signing...and it feels like yesterday.
I have all of Ina'a cookbooks and decided to revisit Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics. That's when this recipe for White Pizza with Arugula caught my eye. Now ever since I made homemade tart dough (pâte brisée), I've become a big fan of making things from scratch...time permitting. Sure, there are some really good quality store-bought pizza doughs out there, but I decided to make my dough the night before, after the boys went to bed.
The dough was perfect but next time I think I will have to let it get a little more pliable before I start kneading it. I don't think I kept it at room temperature long enough. As for the baking time of the pizza, the recipe calls for 10-15 minutes in the oven. My pie was done in about 9 minutes-- and had I kept it in the oven for one minute longer, it would have burnt to a crisp. Maybe it's my oven or maybe it's the altitude-- just keep an eye on it.
Now I prefer making recipes that don't require me to buy a ton of ingredients, and in this case I had some goat cheese in the fridge and some leftover fontina cheese from this recipe. I also had a big bag filled with arugula, so pizza with greens it would be.
I loved this pizza. There's creamy, cheesy goodness, tangy-lemon dressing and peppery arugula. You can see how this one might be hard to beat...
|For the garlic oil I used some of my new purple garlic which I picked up at my local farmers market.
|Dressed arugula.
Makes 6 Pizzas
For the Dough:1 1/4 cups warm (100 to 110) water
2 packages dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey
Good olive oil
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading
Kosher salt
For the Garlic Oil:
4 cloves garlic, sliced
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
For the topping:
3 cups grated Italian fontina cheese (8 ounces)
1 1/2 cups grated fresh mozzarella cheese (7 ounces)
11 ounces creamy goat cheese, such as montrachet, crumbled
For the vinaigrette:
1/2 cup good olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces baby arugula
1 lemon, sliced
Mix the dough:
- Combine the water, yeast, honey and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. When the yeast is dissolved, add 3 cups of flour, then 2 teaspoons salt, and mix on medium-low speed. While mixing, add up to 1 more cup of flour, or just enough to make a soft dough. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth, sprinkling it with the flour as necessary to keep it from sticking to the bowl.
- Knead by hand.
- When the dough is ready, turn it out onto a floured board and knead it by hand a dozen times. It should be smooth and elastic.
- Let it rise.
- Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and turn it to cover it lightly with oil. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Stretch the dough.
Press and stretch each ball into an 8-inch circle and place 2 circles on each sheet pan lined with parchment paper. (If you've chilled the dough, take it out of the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes ahead to let it come to room temperature.)
Top the dough.
Brush the pizzas with the garlic oil, and sprinkle each one liberally with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the pizzas evenly with fontina, mozzarella and goat cheese. Drizzle each pizza with 1 tablespoon more of the garlic oil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes,* until the crusts are crisp and the cheeses begin to brown.**
Make the vinaigrette.
Meanwhile, whisk together 1/2 cup of olive oil, the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Add the greens.
When the pizzas are done, place the arugula in a large bowl and toss with just enough lemon vinaigrette to moisten. Place a large bunch of arugula on each pizza and a slice of lemon and serve immediately.
* Mine took 9 minutes.
** Note: I brushed some of the garlic oil on my pizza mesh (wire) and placed my pie on the mesh. I placed it on my pizza stone-- which I had preheated for 20 minutes at 500 degrees.
TIP Make sure the bowl is warm before you put the water and yeast in; the water must be warm for the yeast to develop.
TIP Salt inhibits the growth of yeast; add half the flour, then the salt, and then the rest of the flour.
TIP To make sure yeast is still "alive," or active, put it in water and allow it to sit for a few minutes. If it becomes creamy or foamy, it's active.
Serves 8
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 small shallot, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, preferably Banyuls
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
12 cups packed assorted baby lettuces (about 6 ounces)
1 quart strawberries, hulled—small berries halved, large ones quartered
4 ounces feta (preferably French), crumbled (1 cup)
1 cup smoked almonds, chopped
In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, honey, shallot and vinegar. Stir in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Put the lettuces in a large bowl. Add the strawberries, feta and almonds. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss well and serve.
Bright, berry-scented rosé echoes the strawberries in this summer salad. Pour a crisp, dry rosé from Provence.

FaithSpring's 46 Day Prayer Challenge (Day 46) April 15, 2017
Posted Byat Saturday, April 15, 2017
FaithSpring's 46-day Prayer Challenge for Lent
Day 46, Saturday, April 15, 2017
Prayer Update! 100 hours and 25 minutes of Prayer through April 8, 2017.
Prayers of thanksgiving for God's creations and blessings.
As the 2017 Prayer Challenge nears its' conclusion, we offer God our prayers of thanksgiving for all that the LORD has accomplished. During this time of preparation for Easter, we have offered God many different prayers and followed those prayers with actions devoted to God. We have grown in faithfulness and we have opened new doors of communication with God. Now it's time to give God some gratitude.
It's easy to forget that some of the greatest blessings in life arise from the world in which we live. The sun that shines, the rain that nourishes, and the blooming trees and flowers are evidence of God's work. Offer thanks to God for the crops that grow, clean water in our homes, and the jobs that sustain us. God has accomplished so much that we could spend our entire lives in prayer, and still not cover them all.
The point is that God has covered everything, including us. We are God's greatest creation, and He loves us so much that He sent Jesus to protect our salvation. All of the things we have missed, forgotten, and messed-up don't matter anymore. God forgives us through Jesus Christ, and for that, we can be thankful.
Today, thank God for all of creation, especially ourselves. Rest in the assurance that no matter what, God is standing by your side.
"Then God said, 'Let us make humanity in our image to resemble us so that they may take charge of the fish of the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and all the things crawling on earth. God created humanity in God's own image, in the divine image God created them, male and female God created them'…and God saw everything he had made: it was supremely good." (Genesis 1:26-27; 31, CEB)

Day 420
Day 420 - Lots of leftovers today! D has leftover pizza, cucumber spears, some left over Reese's Poke Cake that I saw on pinterest. If I were to ever make it again I'd leave out the sweetened condensed milk. The cake was overly sweet and really soggy. D also has some blueberries.
Mom has left over chicken, roasted zucchini, hummus, sugar snap peas and blueberries.

feetch feetch /feech feech/ interj.
If someone tells you
about some new improvement to a program, you might respond:
"Feetch, feetch!" The meaning of this depends critically on
vocal inflection. With enthusiasm, it means something like "Boy,
that's great! What a great hack!" Grudgingly or with obvious
doubt, it means "I don't know; it sounds like just one more
unnecessary and complicated thing". With a tone of resignation,
it means, "Well, I'd rather keep it simple, but I suppose it has
to be done".

Local farmers looking for new revenue streams, including export crops
Sending locally grown agriculture products to be sold in overseas markets is a dream— and hopefully one which can become a reality in the near future — for members of the local Farmers Association.
This thinking has come to the fore as local farmers witness the fast pace in which agriculture products enter the territory to be sold at local stores, taking away the opportunities from local farmers, according to the Farmers Association, with some member-farmers considering neighboring Samoa as the largest importer of agriculture products, i.e. taro and bananas.
Avei Sopoaga, a farmer from Pavaiai, said agricultural products such as taro and vegetables entering the territory to be sold at stores have taken away the opportunity for local farmers to sell their produce to the same stores. He said this has become a serious concern for local farmers, who have to compete with off-island farmers.
He said the income now going to off-island producers of agriculture should come to local farmers, who instead must look at other options to sell their locally grown produce.
Sopoaga said the only other option is to identify off-island markets, adding there are a lot of local farmers competing to supply the School Lunch Program.
As to selling produce at the Fagatogo Market Place, he says this is another option, but there are times when a farmer can spend hours at the market place with the hope of selling a lot, yet at the end of the day, the farmer doesn't make much.
Sopoaga also made the point that Samoa has a larger population and therefore their large number of farmers are able to address that country's high number of residents compared to American Samoa's small population. He repeated that local farmers are competing with Samoa farmers.
Makerita Siliga of Faleniu said there are many Asians who have now become local farmers and they sell their produce to local stores as well as to the school lunch program. She said our local American Samoan farmers really need to pay close attention to this change or else "we, Samoan farmers in the future won't even get any income from farming the land."
Other farmers believe that if off -island markets can be identified for local produce that will be a big benefit, as this could be a new stream of income for them.
In the meantime, the farmers are looking forward to next year's Taro Fair. They say, hopefully, by then, there will be sufficient proof of locally grown taro for export.
Department of Agriculture director Lealao M. Purcell says his office can assist in identifying off-island markets for export if there is sufficient supply to meet the demand. He suggests that local farmers continue to grow more of a variety of products to be sold at the market place and to the school lunch program.
Samoa News notes there is no mention by local farmers of the 'prices' charged by the off-island farmers, or local Asian farmers, which would be an important part of the reason their products are so successfully sold on island. For example, the $1.00 vegetable stalls were first initiated by the local Asian farmers — where fresh cabbage, beans, baby wonbok, corn etc. can be bought for a $1.00 a bundle. They have become a mainstay of many of the families on island, helping make ends meet, as well as offering healthy food choices at affordable prices.
(The original Samoan version of this story was published in yesterday's edition of Samoa News Le Lali.)

Quilt hopping...
Tania was working on a spooky quilt, Marg was finishing some hexies, and I was paper piecing a candle mat.
Marg brought her 'challenges'; she used the Accuquilt to cut tumbler blocks and put them together, creating these beautiful little "Blankets of Love" quilts. So pretty!
Below is my little effort, also using tumbler blocks, just don't look too closely, matching them up was tricky, and I'm not really a machine quilter. It was meant for my cat Pretzel, as a blanket, but frankly, the Pretzelator couldn't give a %^&*, so it'll just sit in the pile of bits and pieces!

At the Supercomm conference and expo here this week, where the telecommunications industry gathered with its suppliers, Cisco Systems Inc. President and CEO John Chambers warned that attacks on the network are going to increase in both volume and difficulty.
"Youre going to see the attacks go up not only in frequency but in complexity," Chambers said in a keynote address Tuesday. "Security has to be synonymous with continuity."
Ciscos security plan involves developing technologies that adapt as threats evolve. To be effective, network operators must deploy security technology in a comprehensive, premeditated manner.
"This has to be an architectural plan [in which] each element in the network is protected," Chambers told the telecommunications audience. "Its going to be an architectural play, not individual pinpoint products."
The CEOs of Lucent Technologies Inc., Nortel Networks Ltd., Siemens AG. and Tellabs Inc. echoed Chambers warnings in a joint keynote presentation Wednesday morning.
Patricia Russo, chairwoman and CEO of Lucent, called on the industry to work more collaboratively to address the growing security problems. If not executed well, next-generation networks could become plagued with viruses, denial-of-service attacks and other malicious programs, she cautioned.
"Its critically important that we all work together in the industry toward a more secure networked environment," Russo said, adding that the number of vendors and service providers participating in IP networking creates a more complicated system than in the past. "Securing circuits is easier," she said.
Russo advised that the industry must develop common security standards and practices, including standards for securing call signaling in wireless networks. In addition, authentication technologies must be deployed universally, and they must be interoperable, nonproprietary and affordable.
"Our industry is going through a time of great transformation," Russo said. "We remain mindful that with innovation comes responsibility."
As the traditional telephone companies move into the video delivery business to generate new revenues as voice calling revenues decline, vendors are shifting their focus. Cisco plans to expand its attention to the service provider market and is using half its research and development spending on that sector, Chambers said. "Where were going in the marketplace is pretty predictable," he said.
To remain competitive, particularly against emerging rivals in Asia, North American service providers will have to relinquish their focus on providing mere transport and deliver better value-added services.
"If youre merely talking about voice, video and data, its too late. Its what do you do on top of that?" Chambers said. "Basic transport is going to commoditize. Its going to be brutal."
Innovations will drive improved productivity, but businesses must change their processes along with the technologies to derive the full benefits, Chambers said. Over the next three to five years, Cisco will focus on helping customers adjust to the process changes required by new technologies.
"Until the employees want to use the technologies ... you dont see any movement," Chambers said.
