Then all hell breaks loose in about the last third of the campaign, and it's hard to forgive the level of frustration you're forced to deal with as you stagger your way toward the title's merciful conclusion. The difficulty ramps up as you face stronger enemies with more dangerous weapons, and what was once a light and pleasant experience becomes a dreary slog. If you're playing alone, you'll notice that your AI partner is feeling the stress, too, as he bites the dust with increasing frequency. Even the plot, which wasn't exactly Robert Heinlein to begin with (though the game is dedicated to him), takes a turn for the worse.
Then there are the boss fights. Oh my god, the boss fights. They're overly difficult, too frequent, and repetitive. And by "repetitive," I don't mean that you have to keep doing the same thing over and over again to win -- though there's that too. By "repetitive" I mean that you fight the same exact freaking bosses multiple times.
Hands down, the most obnoxious one is the Slave Driver, a fat guy with a whip, legions of minions, and at least twice as much health as any reasonable game designer would give him. He's protected by a shield, and to get the shield to come down, you have to kill a wave of his followers. Unfortunately, the minions aren't normal enemies with guns; instead, they're deranged, fast-moving monsters armed with melee weapons, so you have to run around the arena erratically to avoid them, praying that you won't get caught on an object or sucked into cover unexpectedly. (You can try hitting them with your own melee attack, but you'll quickly discover that it's almost unusable, especially once an enemy is on top of you.) If you let a minion or the Slave Driver himself get too close, you'll be dead after just a few hits, and you get to start all over again.
Eventually, Slave Driver "dies," and you can play the game in peace for a bit before you come across him again. And again. And again.
If you get sick of screaming profanity at your TV and making your wife mad (or maybe that's just me), you can try the multiplayer modes instead. (Quick note: Multiplayer is online only, which angered some customers who'd been promised otherwise.) Co-op solves the problems with the partner AI, and makes the boss fights a little easier to boot. The competitive modes are pretty buggy, but they're fun in a ridiculous kind of way. In addition to the standard Gears modes (deathmatch, horde, etc.), there are a few gameplay types that take advantage of the gravity features.
In King of Gravity, all the players fight for control of a single Gravlink--the only way to get points is to get the Gravlink and rack up kill streaks, and the Gravlink provides you a huge tactical advantage over all the other players who are trying to kill you. In Gravity Slaughter, you need to kill your foes with your gravity powers, and in Grav Control, a kill streak earns you the right to flip the arena's gravity so that the layout changes.
With more polish and better use of its gravity gimmicks, Inversion could have been something truly special. And even without that, Inversion could have been a great way to waste a weekend, if only the developers hadn't let the campaign go off the rails toward the end. Instead, what we're left with is two-thirds of a campaign that competently rips off Gears of War, and some multiplayer modes that aren't bad. That's not enough to justify a rental, much less a $60 purchase.

Tama Starclassic Performer 22" Lacquer Ocean Blue Rippl · Drum Kit
Tama Starclassic Performer
By using bubinga wood on the inside of the Birch shell TAMA has opened a new chapter in the Starclassic Performer series.
The mixture of birch and bubinga has created a new sound, which combines the hard attack of birch wood and the beautiful deep harmonies of bubinga.
Star-Cast Mounting System
The Star-Cast has always cared for optimum resonance and stability for TAMA's robust high-end drum kits. The new streamlined design, the tom toms more closely set together and make for a completely dynamic feel. In addition, the new star-cast mounting system is manufactured from aluminum, which has the consequence that the suspension is not as massive and stiff and thus the boiler still can swing better.

Five things we learned from the Patriots' 45-7 win over St. Louis Sunday in London, a win that sends New England into the second half of the season (and the bye week) with confidence and a 5-3 record.
Five things we learned from the Patriots' 45-7 win over St. Louis Sunday in London, a win that sends New England into the second half of the season (and the bye week) with confidence and a 5-3 record.
The Patriots' defense didn't play much better or worse than it has all season for most of the early part of Sunday's game. But when the Patriots' offense got the lead to 28-7 at the half, they played like a unit unleashed — in the second half, they looked the way you want them to look.
This is the Belichick blueprint: a great offense, with an aggressive defense that works well with a front-running team (and not-so-great in a close game).
When Brady and the offense are going that good, one failure from the opponent can be enough to cause the kind of spiral we saw in the Rams Sunday. Unless they are playing another team playing perfect offense, the game is over.
It's the reason they are always going to have a shot to win it all with Brady, and maybe also the reason they can be beaten in close games.
Oh, and P.S.: keep Gronkowski healthy at all costs.
The trade deadline is next week (two weeks later than in previous years), and while deals have been rare in years past there could be a bit more interest this time around.
The teams that are most likely to deal are those with no 2012 hopes, and there really aren't too many: Cleveland, Jacksonville, Kansas City for sure, maybe Carolina, Oakland and St. Louis as well. They'd be looking to move guys that are free agents after the season.
New England is a bit thin in the back seven and especially the secondary, but unfortunately so is the crew that might be available from the bottom-feeders. One player that would seem to be a perfect fit is Jags cornerback Rashean Mathis, who has veteran cred and a great resume, but he's been playing hurt of late. Still, if he might be able to help, why not throw a 5th-round pick Jacksonville's way?
With the Super Bowl still a realistic goal and draft picks not a huge priority with such a young roster, there's a chance to improve right now with low risk. And that's usually how this team operates.
The Patriots came into Sunday averaging an NFL-record 29 first downs per game — yes, NFL record, as in the most ever — and celebrated with an even 29 more vs. the Rams.
What we saw (on our TVs) in London was a team that is moving the ball as well as any team in the history of the game ever has. That's not hyperbole, that's bare fact. In the context of a close loss, this ability to get first downs has been overlooked — with nothing to distract from it vs. the Rams, it was really remarkable to behold.
Tom Brady hasn't gotten a lot of mention as an MVP candidate, but when he plays like he did Sunday you have to ask — who else does what he does? He hit every target he had and made the right decision all day.
As a result, this should be a pretty peaceful two-week break for Patriots fans, who had been tearing their collective hair out of late.
There was plenty of concern about the Pats' tackles back in August, when Nate Solder looked a bit shaky at left tackle and Sebastian Vollmer was working through injury on the right side.
But they were brilliant Sunday, doing their jobs in tandem. On more than one play, they seemed to push the pocket where Brady needed it in perfect unison, like synchronized swimmers. Robert Quinn and Chris Long were barely mentioned as the Rams' outside pass rush fizzled badly. They combined for three tackles, no sacks, and no pressure.
They've been getting better and better as the season has gone on, and any personnel issues caused by injury on the OL's interior have been minimal as a result.
The Patriots' defense was working it hard Sunday. From the first snap, they were playing with a noticeable intensity, and looked like a team that knew the game plan was going to work.
After the early blown coverage that led to the Rams' only touchdown of the game, New England just got better and better, and really dominated the front line. The Patriots have a lot of blue-chip talent on the defensive front, and played like it against a very weak set of St. Louis offensive linemen and skill players.
On Sunday, the defense gave hints of what fans hope they will look like in the postseason — hard-hitting, cohesive, capable of making big plays when it counted (three turnovers, stopped 70 percent of third-down attempts) and well-balanced.

Before dinner tonight, give your spouse a hug; gently rub your hands down their arms as you look into their eyes; notice the color of their eyes — the color of their hair — the hues of the blouse or shirt they are wearing.
Stand at the kitchen window. Take an extra moment and admire the view. Notice the tree and flower blooms in the backyard. If you are fortunate to gaze at a field, orchard or vineyard, admire what God has created and entrusted to your care. Spring is at hand and life is returning to the branches, canes and cordons. Soak in the marvelous sights. The colors are breathtaking this time of year.
If you are fortunate enough to have grandchildren as I am, the next time they come over, turn off the television and have a new book waiting for them. Read along with them. If they are yet too young to read, read it to them. Explain what's in the pictures and tell them about the animals, characters and color they are seeing. Listen as the words come off the page and through their eyes and into their brain for yet more youthful discoveries.
We live in a world of senses — hearing, smell, sound and sight. And, we take them all for granted. I know I did until last fall when I began losing the sight in my right eye. It began on a Wednesday and by Friday my sight was almost gone, and I did not know why. Monday I learned I had two tears in my retina. The cause? Basically severe nearsightedness.
Five laser/freezing treatments and two major surgeries later, the eyesight has not returned. At least two and maybe four more surgeries are likely with no guarantees that my eyesight will return to anywhere near normal.
When something like this occurs, you start asking questions and poring over the Internet. While torn and detached retinas are uncommon, they are not rare. I have discovered that three friends have experienced the same thing; longtime Kern County, Calif., pest control advisor Vern Crawford; good friend and retired Tulare County, Calif., walnut grower George Noell and Fresno pediatric neurologist and friend Dr. Terry Hutchison. Fortunately, their treatments have been successful, and they have all retained the sights in the affected eyes.
However, they all will never again take their eyesight for granted. Neither will I nor should you.
People become compassionate about things that change their lives. That is me and eyesight. If you begin to see lots of floaters; flashes of light and a dark curtain beginning to cross into your vision, get to the doctor in a hurry. Haste could mean the difference between reversing the damage and losing your eyesight.
One final note. If you walk up to me from my right at a meeting or conference and I ignore you, I apologize. And, if you see me coming down the road in my pickup, get the heck out the way. I am more dangerous than ever. Just kidding — honest.

Microsoft CEO Backs Web Spending, Done with YahooBy Reuters - | Posted 2008-07-25 Print
The message for Microsoft's annual meeting with Wall Street analysts, an all-day affair at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, was that it had a post-Yahoo plan to turn around its online services division and a strategy to take advantage of future opportunities, even as its Internet chief departs.
REDMOND, Washington (Reuters) - Chief Executive Steve Ballmer on Thursday defended Microsoft Corp's need to make heavy investments in its Internet businesses but said the company was "done," for now, with pursuing Yahoo Inc.
"There's nothing under discussion between the two of us," Ballmer told investors of how six months of various talks had reached an impasse earlier in July.
"We had a set of principles, we talked about them, it didn't work out," he said. "Fine, we're done. We can move on."
The message for Microsoft's annual meeting with Wall Street analysts, an all-day affair at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, was that it had a post-Yahoo plan to turn around its online services division and a strategy to take advantage of future opportunities, even as its Internet chief departs.
"There is this huge, huge, huge new opportunity around the Internet and online and we have to embrace that opportunity and invest in that opportunity," Ballmer said.
Shares of Microsoft have fallen 8 percent over the last week since the company forecast an outlook below Wall Street estimates and revealed an additional $500 million investment into its online unit, even as it chalked up further losses.
Charles Di Bona, a software research analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, said Ballmer's comments did not give enough details about how that additional investment will be spent and how the company arrived at that decision.
"It's spending $500 million dollars and then it says we'll tell you later how we'll spend it," said Di Bona, who has an "outperform" rating on Microsoft. "The market's concern is not about how it is running its core business. It's about decisions about larger chunks of money that people can't track."
Ballmer said Microsoft is willing to endure online division operating losses that amount to between 5 percent to 10 percent of the company's total operating income, which reached $22.5 billion in fiscal year 2008, until the search and advertising business reaches "scale."
He did not specify on how long this period of losses would last, but said the risk was worth the potential return.
Microsoft's online division has posted eight straight quarters of losses. It lost $1.23 billion in the past fiscal year, twice as much as it had lost in fiscal 2007 and about 5.5 percent of Microsoft's total operating income.
Ballmer said its online businesses could eventually account for most of the economic value created by the world's largest software maker.
The Microsoft CEO was left to describe Internet strategy after Microsoft announced one day before the analyst meeting that the head of that business, Kevin Johnson, was leaving. He will become chief executive of Juniper Networks Inc. "We thought it was important whoever was going to get up and talk about the big investment online was going to be here in three weeks and so you're stuck with me on this topic today," Ballmer said.

NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens weighs in tonight on the state of the Hawks prior to the 2013 NFL draft. He weighs in with some draft predictions, his free draft preview, and explains what he thinks are the teams roster weaknesses. He loves the secondary, but says addition of Antoine Winfield in free agency should secure the teams nickelback position. Richard Sherman & Brandon Browner are great, but more depth is needed for starters.

Class of 2014
Major/Minor: Anthropology, Hispanic Studies
Hometown: Waldorf, MD
What do you do for a campus job or work study?
I am a student worker in the Student Affairs office and also a student worker at the Johnson Lifetime Fitness Center.
Have you had any internship, research, or study abroad experiences?
All of the above! I have interned with the Committee on Homeland Security for the House of Representatives and a local NGO by the name of Shared Opportunities. I am currently volunteering with the WC- Latino Community Volunteer Program at Garnett Elementary School. I also studied abroad during the fall 2012 semester. I spend the semester in Peru, exploring the country, expanding my language skills, and experiencing the world in a whole new way.
Why did you choose your major?
I have always been in love with Spanish and knew that I would follow the path to become a Hispanic Studies major. It wasn't until my sophomore year that I realized that Anthropology would be a great pair with Hispanic Studies. Being able to explore cultures and the way cultures shaped society made me realize that Anthropology was the way to go.
What should every student do before he or she graduates?
STUDY ABROAD! I am a huge advocate for study abroad. Whether it be for the year, semester, or even a few weeks you should DO IT! There are so many programs and it will make you see the world and even college in a whole new light!

Islamic finance 'to gain from global crisis'
Manama, November 23, 2011
The global financial crisis has given the Islamic finance industry a great opportunity and the sector is likely to sustain a period of strong growth for the rest of this decade, said a top banking expert.
The obvious flaws in conventional finance have created great interest in the Islamic financial model, Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) Governor Rasheed Al Maraj told delegates at the opening session of the 18th World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) at the Gulf Hotel on Tuesday.
'This should provide the basis for the industry to sustain a period of strong growth for the rest of this decade,' he said.
The growth opportunities are especially strong as Islamic finance has its largest presence in rapidly growing economies that have been least affected by the global financial crisis.
'They should continue to register high rates of growth in the years ahead. If Islamic finance is to make the most of these opportunities, it still needs to learn from the mistakes of interest-based finance.'
'As Islamic financial institutions expand, they need to make sure that their management and control functions keep pace with their growth,' he said.
'As the global financial crisis shows, there is a need for firms, especially those that become internationally active, to make sure that risk management, control systems and information technology are capable of providing an accurate picture of a financial institution's overall risk profile.
'Boards of directors and senior managers also need to ensure that they have the knowledge, expertise, and professional skills to manage businesses that are growing in complexity,' he said.
'Building high-quality human capital is an essential building block for the expansion of the Islamic finance industry,' he added.
'The regulatory framework needs to keep pace with an expanding industry,' he said.
'The Islamic financial industry is fortunate in that it has several well-established standard setting bodies, including the Islamic Financial Services Board, the International Islamic Financial Market and the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions.
'Over the years, these standard-setting bodies have demonstrated their ability to adapt international standards to the needs of the Islamic finance industry,' he added.
'These bodies now need to take the lead in adapting new international standards, including Basel III, to the specific circumstances of Islamic finance.
'Ensuring that firms have strong capital and liquidity buffers should not be seen as an optional extra for the industry, but as an essential foundation for its next stage of growth,' he said.
'The industry will be stronger if it strengthens its foundations, just as the foundations of interest-based finance are now being strengthened,' he added.-TradeArabia News Service

Jan 31, 2012 (CIDRAP News) – The core of a US biosecurity advisory board's concern about two controversial, as-yet-unpublished studies on H5N1 viruses is that the studies have shown how to remove the apparent natural barrier that keeps the viruses from spreading efficiently in mammals, members of the board said in statements published today.
Removal of this barrier creates the potential for a catastrophic pandemic if such mutant viruses were released by bioterrorists or by accident, said members of the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB), which has focused mainly on the perceived risk of bioterrorism. The board has recommended withholding details of the studies from publication.
"The artificial evolution of a new mammal-adapted H5N1 virus, as reported in these two papers, has removed the natural barriers that might have existed. Accomplishing this in the lab, however, doesn't mean that it can occur naturally," said Paul Keim, PhD, acting chair of the NSABB, in a question-and-answer interview published in Nature.
A statement signed by all the NSABB members was published simultaneously in Nature and Science. The findings of the two studies are "very important because, before these experiments were done, it was uncertain whether avian influenza A/H5N1 could ever acquire the capacity for mammal-to-mammal transmission," the statement says.
"Now that this information is known, society can take steps globally to prepare for when nature might generate such a virus spontaneously."
Although NSABB members have talked to reporters in recent weeks, today's publications were the first formal statements from the board since its recommendation against full publication was announced by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) on Dec 20. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) endorsed the board's recommendation and forwarded it to Science and Nature, the journals considering publishing the studies.
Though often fatal, human infections with H5N1 are rare—fewer than 600 cases have been documented since 2003—and transmission from person to person is even rarer. In the two studies in question, researchers generated a mutant H5N1 virus and an H5N1-H1N1 hybrid virus that spread by airborne droplets among ferrets, which are considered the best animal models for studying human flu.
Ron Fouchier, PhD, of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam led a team that generated mutations in an H5N1 strain and then allowed it to evolve naturally in ferrets, leading to more mutations that produced a variant that was efficiently transmissible and remained lethal to the ferrets. The study was submitted to Science.
In the other study, a team led by Yoshihiro Kawaoka, DVM, PhD, of the University of Wisconsin and the University of Tokyo combined the hemagglutinin (HA) gene from an H5N1 virus with seven other genes from a pandemic 2009 H1N1 virus. This, too, produced a virus that could spread by air, but it was no more pathogenic than the 2009 H1N1 virus and did not kill any of the ferrets, Kawaoka has said.
Rationale for targeting Kawaoka study
Much of Keim's interview today dealt with why the NSABB included Kawaoka's study in its recommendation, given that it involves a virus that was not lethal in ferrets and was a reassortant rather than a strictly H5N1 strain.
Responding to questions from Nature's editors, Keim wrote that though the reassortant is no more pathogenic than the 2009 H1N1 virus, "we believe that the techniques described could be used to generate other viruses with H5 HA that have potentially much greater pathogenicity." In addition, the fact that people have had no previous exposure to H5 viruses could lead to a much broader pandemic than that of 2009, he said.
The editors said the mutations described in Kawaoka's paper are insufficient to provide a blueprint for a transmissible, highly pathogenic, wholly avian H5N1 virus, suggesting that publishing the full study is not risky.
Keim replied, "The fact that Kawaoka's specific virus and mutations might not be the feared H5N1 pandemic strain is not the point. It is that this laboratory created a virus that has now bypassed apparent barriers to evolution in the wild. If this virus were to escape by error or by terror, we must ask whether it would cause a pandemic. The probability is unknown, but it is not zero."
He added that Kawaoka's study "significantly advances the ability to construct an H5 virus with catastrophic potential. This altered H5 HA gene could be combined with other influenza virus genes possibly leading to a pandemic."
The Nature editors also said independent advisers voiced doubt that Kawaoka's virus could be exploited by bioterrorists, since it couldn't be aimed at a specific population and because vaccines and drugs are available.
Keim acknowledged that bioterrorist uses of the virus would be "low-probability events, but they could introduce a new evolutionary seed into the environment that seems not to exist in nature. This might not cause a pandemic instantly, but it could start the virus on a new path for pandemic evolution." He also agreed that H5N1 vaccines and flu antivirals exist, but said supplies are not sufficient anywhere in the world.
Keim also was one of three commentators today writing on the issue in the open-access journal mBio (see related CIDRAP News story).
NSABB statement more general
The statement from the full NSABB is more general than Keim's comments and does not cover much new ground. The article focuses mainly on the risk of bioterrorism, with little mention of the risk for release of dangerous H5N1 viruses through lab accidents.
"We found the potential risk of public harm to be of unusually high magnitude," the board said, adding that the members were unanimous in concluding that the full details of the two studies should not be published.
"Our concern is that publishing these experiments in detail would provide information to some person, organization or government that would help them to develop similar mammal-adapted influenza A/H5N1 viruses for harmful purposes," the statement says.
But the board also sees the studies as clearly beneficial in that they alert the world to the threat of readily transmissible H5N1 and should spur greater preparedness and research on better defenses. Publishing the basic findings but not the full details will maximize the benefits and minimize the risks, the panel said.
As members have commented before, the board also called for a broad international discussion aiming for a consensus policy on dual-use research on H5N1. The World Health Organization recently said it would take the lead on such efforts and expressed the hope of holding a conference on the issues in February.
The board drew a parallel between the current situation and the controversy over recombinant DNA research in the 1970s. At that time researchers voluntarily imposed a moratorium on the work until they could develop guidelines on how to do it safely and responsibly.
Leading flu researchers announced on Jan 20 their own moratorium on studies that could lead to the generation of more-transmissible H5N1 viruses. The 60-day break is intended to allow time for discussion of the risks, benefits, and oversight.
Meanwhile, Science has agreed to postpone publication of the Fouchier study until March, "to allow the international conversations about the research to move forward," spokeswoman Kathy Wren told CIDRAP News today. She said no publication date has been set, however. Nature officials declined to comment on the timeline for publishing the Kawaoka report.
Fouchier expressed disappointment with the NSABB statement today, according to a Canadian Press (CP) report.
"I was hoping for an explanation of the risks of communicating the results of our study via normal publication. There is none," he told the CP. "Our information is useless to small bioterrorist groups, and larger organizations and rogue countries can replicate our work without our manuscript."

My family had been in the country for about two years at this point. I was finally mastering the English language, so much so that I went from being in ESL (and storming out on my fun hating teacher) to being in an advanced reading level. I was fascinated with all things Holocaust. This is the year I read Diary of Anne Frank – it made me feel grown up and wise – neither of which I was. I really identified with the feeling of not being able to escape a horrible fate. Not sure why I gravitated towards the subject matter, maybe because it was such a taboo back in the USSR or maybe I felt guilt. When, at the age of six, I posed for an Israeli newspaper at Warsaw Ghetto photo exhibit (a trickle of Holocaust information permeated USSR from Israel in the early '90's), and ended up smiling next to an image of a dead child probably the same age as me at the time. The guilt of that automatic smile used haunt me and I used to berate myself for a simple reflex. This photo, used to give me nightmares for many years:
|Children in the Warsaw Ghetto from Yad Vashem archives.
Anyway, at the age of eleven I knew way too much about gas chambers, kapos, and Lebensborn. I was the life of the party as you can imagine.
One of the most vivid times of that period was when I went to a friend's house after school and never let my mother know. My school was on the other side of town and my mother didn't drive. My friend's father drove me home; blue and red lights of police cars greeted me outside our home. All I remember besides that image and my immediate panic was my mother sitting at our kitchen's table with an officer standing over her and comforting her, a warm arc of light around them – and the sinking feeling that this was entirely my fault. As a child I used to go off by myself often, usually without telling anyone, never learned to be better about communication to this day. I still dislike telling people where I'm going.

Unlike most economic data from the U.S. government, the monthly unemployment rate isn't usually revised later. If, for example, the Labor Department says the rate was 7.7 percent in a particular month, that rate normally stays 7.7 percent.
Until January, that is.
Every January, the government updates the formulas it uses to calculate unemployment data. The new formulas can change some of the rates for the previous five years. Typically, though, only a few of the monthly rates are revised.
On Friday, the government revised the unemployment rates for two months in 2012. The rate for November, first reported Dec. 7, was revised up to 7.8 percent from 7.7 percent. And the rate for July was revised down to 8.2 percent from 8.3 percent.
By contrast, monthly job creation numbers are revised twice in the two months after they're first released. They're also revised annually. The result is a frequently substantial gap between an initially reported jobs total and the final revised total.
For example, the government initially said employers added only 96,000 jobs in August. That wouldn't generally be enough to lower the unemployment rate. But the number jumped after two revisions to a robust 192,000.
The unemployment rate for that month still stands at 8.1 percent — just as the government originally reported.

Mayor Coleen J. Seng today helped kick off a statewide tour of the "Nebraska Women Success Quilt," which tells the stories of women who overcame challenges in their lives. Mary Walters Schwartzkopf of Lincoln recently completed the five-year quilting project, which gathered fabric squares from more than 500 women, including Mayor Seng. Other participants attending the kick-off event were State Senator Marian Price and Bonnie Coffey, Director of the Lincoln-Lancaster Women's Commission.
"The quilt's stories, which include those of single mothers, domestic violence survivors and grieving parents, can offer encouragement to other women trying to overcome their own personal crises," said Mayor Seng. "As this quilt tours Nebraska over the next year, it can help bring awareness to the issues that affect women."
The "Nebraska Women Success Quilt" is scheduled for display in Lincoln March 5, 2004 at the Lincoln-Lancaster Women's Commission's International Women's Day awards luncheon, "Weaving Women's Voices."
Schwartzkopf, who is employed at the Nebraska Heart Hospital, decided to create the quilt after she survived her own personal struggle. Her goal is to help other women face their struggles by sharing resources, talents and options that lead to success in the community. She sewed the swatches of fabric into a block design that features the State of Nebraska in the center.
"Not all the seams match from corner to corner because many times in a woman's life, those seams of life don't match either," said Schwartzkopf. She now plans to re-contact each contributor to have them sign their names on the quilt and write their testimony in a journal that will be displayed with the quilt.
Those wanting more information on the "Nebraska Women Success Quilt" can contact the Lincoln-Lancaster Women's Commission at 441-7716.

US, British providing disaster relief to DominicaDominica News Online - Monday, August 31st, 2015 at 4:05 PM
The United States of America the United Kingdom are among countries providing aid to Dominica.
The United States Embassy in Barbados said USAID is in the process of providing humanitarian assistance totaling USD$50,000 for the immediate supply of storm-related disaster relief supplies. Working through the Dominica Red Cross, USAID will provide essential relief items to citizens in nine hard-hit areas identified by the government of Dominica.
USAID/OFDA has deployed a four-member assessment team to provide initial damage assessments and needs analysis.
The team is expected to be joined by Regional Advisor John Kimbrough, and Disaster Response and Management Specialist, Audrey Mullings, who will provide on-island coordination of the United States Government's disaster response efforts, including helicopter reconnaissance
Additionally the UK Department of International Aid said a British ship is sailing to Dominica with relief supplies.
The Department said the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) Lyme Bay has been rerouted to assist humanitarian relief efforts here.
The British ship is carrying a range of disaster relief stores including bedding, shelter, torches and stretchers, as well as a Lynx Mk 8 helicopter and considerable supplies of fresh water.
RFA Lyme Bay is stationed in the Caribbean and as part of its primary task, acts as a first responder in the event of a disaster in the region.
British Member of Parliament Justine Greening said, "It is clear that Dominica has borne the brunt of this storm, with a number of deaths already confirmed and hundreds of people made homeless. Roads, bridges and health clinics have been affected and large parts of the island are without water and electricity. Part of RFA Lyme Bay's tasking is to respond to just this sort of emergency and the ship is already en route to assist with relief efforts. As well as essential supplies and helicopter support, the ship can also provide vital expertise to help clean-up operations and recovery efforts."
Victoria Dean, British High Commissioner to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, said: "We've been very saddened in the UK to see the devastation that this tropical storm has had on Dominica. The UK Government is working hard to offer the very best support we can. Our Department for International Development (DFID) has already committed £300,000 in immediate humanitarian aid and I'm very pleased that a British Government ship, RFA Lyme Bay, is on its way now to Dominica with further emergency supplies and expertise. Our thoughts and prayers are with all Dominicans."

People of Dominica I live in Florida USA and am very sad and concerned for you. We were bracing for Erika to hit us next .As soon as we knew we were safe I wanted to donate to Dominica and quickly found my fellow Americans had no idea you were hit. Even Floridians had no idea as our news is not covering the story so much else is going on for the news to cover. All I talk to here in Florida have no knowledge of Dominica. So honestly most dont even know you were hit. I will donate to Red Cross and have asked friends to but honestly i dont expect them to as they didnt hear about Erika. please know some americans do know and care and donate. If i were physically well and able to travel i'd come myself to help. GOD BLESS YOU PROTECT YOU AND STRENGTHEN YOU.
LizalinaXavierinJesusname September 4, 2015
Telemaque, to tell you the truth, your comments are downright deplorable, really, really, deplorable! Especially with your bold lies about your Me, Myself, and I
I cannot understand how you are claiming God, which should mean that you have a conscience–and to be conducting that sort of language, following that kind of disaster which struck our Dominica–man that is not the language of Holy Spirit, you see! So you are lying about having God as well–but I never believed about that either.
Just imagine that you, yourself said that DNO threw out your comment to their article of the "Bishop". The man was sympathizing with the people of Dominica pertaining to the calamity of a storm, I am sure of that–what you wrote must have been so disgusting; no wonder why DNO would not print it on their board. Man do you even know that you are an embarrassment to people who may know you well enough? For crying out loud!
trust me i think dominica, enough help is on the way for the next 3 months in the mean time please plant short term crops and stand up to you all responsibility it was also said that you all are the poorest country in t he caribbean so work hard and get you all …together not my money you all will be getting
Greatful for all the help.us/british/every penny has helped to fill our empty basket. Good effort on the elected officials for identifying assistance needed and engaging the international community.
Let us not rest our eternal hope. On foreign assistance let's use this tradegy for good. Government of today look at this as opportunity of exposure find markets,sell ourselves as a destination, create new relations and strengthen old bonds. All isn't lost let us work to revive industry agriculture/tourism.. After all what happens when the few millions in aid goes away.
The opposition parties The Freedom and UWP should get together along with other patriotic Dominicans should come
together and form a Commity for National Salvation to steer Dominica away from that ALBA Organization that the Prime Minister have brought the Nation into as you guys can see this only lead us into oppression.
After this C.N.S is formed with the people behind you and the government is moved you along with regional observers the
Commity can set a date for general election within 6 to 9 months, then passports belonging to the cabal must be taken away
and steps be taken to find out where all the money for the sales of our passports are banked. Properties should be seized for they belong to the state. This is serious people must face truth and see how their lives are heading, do something before it gets too late. These guys will run and leave the Nation in misery.
Some of these comments are disgusting. Considering the current situation, you would think people would put their bad manners aside and come together as one. Your useless arguments, politics and opinions will NOT revive 31 lives nor fix Dominica!! May their souls Rest In Peace.
Dominicans we will rebuid and let us be thankful no matter how small the gifts are .Our fellow brothers and sisters need encouragement and prayer please so let us go to our knees and cry out to God for Dominica. I will lift up my eyes to the hills , from whence cometh my help my help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. Psalm 121 . Dont forget that brothers and sisters .One Love. I am hurting for my people also. My fellow Dominicans let us unite in love and let us put away negative talk.God Bless Dominica may Dominica stand tall again.
There was never a question about whether or not the US and the British would assist. They have a very long history in humanitarian assistance in times of crisis like what we have in Dominica today. The question we have is, why did we not see them with boots on the ground rescuing people, erecting small tents and helping save lives like they have done in other countries around the world and in Dominica after hurricane David? I mean while we are thankful for the helicopter service we got from Trinidad, it is very clear that if the Americans were here a day after the storm like they have always done, maybe the result would be different. Though we do not want to blame anyone at the moment, if anti US statements made by the authorities had any part to play in this.
DO NOT BLAME the US for $50,000

A Doubting Thomas In Solidarity September 1, 2015
I heard some and read what some wrote; I cannot believe some of our people. I mean, some of these same people were telling the world how bad things were, some brought pictures to show the world how badly off Dominica was. Now the world is seeing the many untruths told.
We were so ungrateful for things we had, instead of giving Thanks and Praise to the Lord above, they were ridiculing how God had Blessed us. Now we can see what hardship is really like. We've been asking for it.
Some asked for bad things to happen 365 days a year for many years; well we have it. Water was plentiful, but we were not satisfied; Instead of giving God thanks for our 365 rivers where water was plentiful; we were cursing him for not giving us more. Maybe we should try asking for Good from now on.
I am listening Lord, I will get down on my knees and give you Praise and Thanks, because I realize it could have been so much worst. God Bless our Country, our Government and People.

We keep protecting Skerrit and no one wants to blame him for the hostile anti US statements he made; however, I think the NATION is paying for his folly and quite clearly Venezuela cannot help us in times of disaster. I mean with that crisis it took them four days to show up?
I also recall the Sea Bees of the US military which O.J through US Ambassador Sally SHELTON BROUGHT MASSIVE ENGINEERING AND OTHER RELIEF TO DOMINICA and were all made honorable citizens ..
Venezuela was at the forefront with helicopters and massive assistance..so did the pl480 food program and catholic relief and the UN as well as the nonaligned movement all mobilized by then PM O.J
We did get great cooperation from leaders like George Odlum who came in to assist as well as PM Tom Adams who gave a state visit tot he Dominica Pm AND to use the Barbados position with diplomatic offices to focus on AID fro the country
The trip throughout the US STATES AND AGENCIES AND CANADA and to the UN by the PM TOGETHER WITH DR LIVERPOOL /PHILIP NASSIEF /COLIN BULLY AND JUDITH PAESTINA was the foundation
as well as PARIS London etc with CAB.SEC .JULIAN JOHNSON and the directive to send BERNARD WILTSHIRE TO THE NONALIGNED CONFERENCE were all used to bring Dominica the massive aid received .
AH. on Aug 17 i made a comment on a story about queen Elizabeth, stating "Rule Britannia" some much hate and thumbs down toward my comment So nice to see the RFA Lyme bay with it's 8 helo's coming to help. except the U.S. Navy who else can do this so quickly. In the time of disaster is nice to see the Union Jack flying in Dominica shores. Thanks the the British Navy. And Once again "Britannia Rule the Waves"
Dominicans need to be more sensitive to the families directly affected by hurricane Erica. I am not impress at all after listening and reading to all the garbage, and politics the Dominican media encouraged during a time like this. You guys scare people, and because of that I have not contributed a cent to assist. I will wait until all the drama is over, and decide what to do. I am not alone. It is so shameful living outside of Dominica waiting to hear some positive updates, instead people discussing who should get helicopter ride, mass burial, and finding faults with everything the Government do. This is not the time for that we are not impressed. Stop blaming each other for what happened. This is not your time. We want to help the people who are directly affected. If you have nothing good to say. Say nothing.

God be merciful to us Hear my people again. We are still in the hurricane season. We must be thank full. We are bursting our backs over seas and sending more help. Stop it
I take the time out to thank all those who help and is helping my people.
I am so sadden as we saw CNN reported this live. Hearts out to all.
God bless every one.
Put all that rude selfish talk away.
And live love and laugh
The latter shall be greater.we will rise again and again
Thanks to dbs voice of life and all media round and the updates and pic and more
Here is the link to the British ship en router to Dominica………..
I am shocked at the extent of the damage to Dominica. It is now sinking in. May God help and strengthen the resilience of those who are affected. Everything is temporary; it only lasts for a while. You will pick up the pieces and prod on, always with the help of God. Thank God Dominica is receiving help and there will be more forthcoming. This is the godly, friendly and generous spirit in a time as this.
God help you and bless you.
Steve Foerster September 1, 2015
Read the article. That's short term to meet some immediate needs. They're also sending a team to assess what sort of long term support they can provide.
point September 1, 2015
@ my-views and wet bread, that is the problem with too many Dominicans, we do not know how to say thanks. Well I will say it for you and the other Dominicans who believe that they have the right to tell people how much they must donate when they themselves not even contributing their spit.THANK YOU USA FOR YOUR KIND DONATION!!!.
Be grateful for small mercies, USA still haven't recovered from Katrina 10 years ago! And they provide humanitarian aid to so many other countries around the world. Remember, its a donation they are not obliged. Dominica has received aid and support from so many countries around the world…. added together its quite alot. Every little helps!!!
Now all you need USA help don't all you hate America call out to CHAVEZ nah Hugo in the grave huh?
WE should welcome all aid from the US, China, Venezuela etc.. this article on Hurricane David I found that even Saddam Hussein of Iraq and Yaser Arafat of Palestine Liberation Organization joined hands to help Dominica.

Let us thank everyone and not discriminate at this time of need.
of course we can remember HMS Fyffes which came after hurricane DAVID Thank you PM O.J Seraphin for your HEROIC efforts though still unrecognized to bring food housing materials and clothes in quick time !
we can learn from that experience ..a country destroyed which came back to life
lets hope PM SKerrit can do the same ..
What do you mean you hope PM Skerrit can do the same? Have you not seen all what he did since in office and prior to this disaster? People as you do not appreciate good deeds.
Do you think God is blind, deaf and sleeping and not oblivious of those evil words spewed? I do feel it was a punishment for the ungrateful ones.
When will people as you change your mannerism? Nothing appears to change you unless you probably would be directly affected by the tropical storm. Even then, a leopard does not change its spots overnight.
i was Listening too
Read again.. The US embassy is working with the Red Cross… They are not working with your govt.
"The United States Embassy in Barbados said USAID is in the process of providing humanitarian assistance totaling USD$50,000 for the immediate supply of storm-related disaster relief supplies. Working through the Dominica Red Cross, USAID will provide essential relief items to citizens in nine hard-hit areas identified by the government of Dominica.
A Doubting Thomas In Solidarity August 31, 2015
You sound disappointed that aid is on the way. Shouldn't you be happy that it is coming? If it is coming to the Red Cross isn't that also a wonderful thing for Dominica? Who is going to benefit from the aid? Isn't it the people in Dominica who are suffering?
Why or Why Jesus Christ are some of our people so negative even when our country is facing such a huge disaster.
I would like to thank every individual and country who see our people and country plight and have decided for humanitarian reasons and also friendship for reaching out. I pray our citizens at home and abroad will be filled with love towards their fellowmen, and put aside their party colors and come together as a people of a country.
God Save Our People. To all those in Dominica who are working and/or volunteering their services and time to assist our country and her citizens, I thank you. To our Government we have complete faith in you and we are in solidarity with you in this trying time.
The Red Cross always comes to the help and rescue of any country when a disaster strikes. They do work on their own. Just as they will also offer advice, they may have to take some directives from the government or someone in authority. This means to work and cooperate with one another. If there is no cooperation you should imagine what chaos will ensue. Nothing constructive will be achieved and this is not the nature of the Red Cross or any other concerned with assisting those in need.
What is your point????? That's what international organisations like Red Cross are there for. A government can only do some much. They have to liaise with other organisations to get what is needed done.
What has happened is a tragedy. A lot can be done but we have made a start. Thank God for his blessings.
Rebecca you musty be the most FOOLISH and ignorant person on this earth either through birth or by choice am not sure!!!!!!
Stupid, assisting the people of Dominica through the Red Cross is not an INDICTMENT on the Government and people of Dominica!!!!!! Red Cross is an International agency who is charged with the responsibility of assisting persons in times of need and consists of trained 'First Respondents" personnel so it is normal for the Government and people of a country to be assisted through them!!!!!!
SMDFH you people are EMBARRASSING ME AS A DOMINICAN!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE PEOPLE SHAME TO SAY THEY ARE DOMINICANS!!!!!!!!! FDA
Rebecca Theodore
Will you and people like you give it up? Your own post says the USAID will provide essential relief items to citizens in nine hard-hit areas identified by the GOVERNMENT OF DOMINICA not by the red cross. Can you please give us some space to grieve and recover?
Whether you want to get heart failure over it, the Government of Dominica is our government not his or mine just as all other previous governments elected under the same electoral system and constitution for decades.
Look lady, there are people who have lost their homes and livelihood and are like refugees in the Grammar school and in other people's homes etc. Can you let go? You and people like you are not harming the Government ministers. I have not yet heard of one who has lost his/her home , do you get it?
I am one Dominican who is proud of having stood up for my country on this site and elsewhere and had no part in wishing for its demise to satisfy my own selfish ambitions. Thank God!
You also missed the following excerpt from the article right above our comments here not even somewhere else where the rest of us cannot read it, referring to US assistance:
" the team is expected to be joined by Regional Advisor John Kimbrough and Disaster Response & Management Specialist Audrey Mullings who will provide on-island coordination of the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT'S DISASTER RESPONSE EFFORTS, INCLUDING HELICOPTER RECONNAISANCE" (Emphasis in capital letters mine)
I'm assuming that this report/article by DNO is accurate, or do I now have to verify everything that DNO reports from here on? I'll say one thing, not everyone in Dominica is on the hate train because all hate trains must self-destruct at some point. Trust me!

@Barbara Saunders September 1, 2015
I have to let you know that I embrace your comment –I see in your mentality, that you are person who loves our Dominica–so do I. I also believe that our PM and his men and women of Government, are not in this for fame and fortune–but for the love of Dominica and her people
You are speaking on my behalf–me being waters away and can only have contact of what is happening at home, through DNO–I pray that this will not be so in the near future. Continue with your voice, my lady.
Why at a time such as this Dominicans at home and abroad adopt a spiri of thanksgiving for all that is being done yo assist our people in need.
For those of us who believe in God let us lead by examples and and leave the hostility and name calling and all that unwholesome rhetoric in the garbage where it belongs.
Dominica will rebuild even better because, God is in charge. We must all remember that " unless the Lord builds the city , the watchman only watches in vain."
I'm so sorry for what happen in Dominica however, on the flip side I only hope that these people really check themselves
because to many times you visit Dominica , and the rivers especially Roseau Rivers , Mahaut, Fondcole and the list goes on Has become a Dumping Ground for CONSTRUCTION WASTE, OLD GALVANIZED , FRIDGES , TREE LIMBS OLD CARS ETC
all these waste obstruct the flow of water please Dominicans, take pride in keeping your Rivers clean its a great commodity to your Island
and if you all guys Don't check you all selves you all may just wreck you all selves for a second time……. pay attention……
There are some who live from day to day and who do not care. If I recall over a year ago DNO showed where some people were dumping their garbage in the river. Some also dumped them near the Roseau Cemetery, if not behind the wall. If caught, they should be arrested and charged.
These people need to be educated and to be told over and over again to cease doing that. I hope in the near future the government or the mayor will do something concrete about that.
the pal reps need to slow and stop interfiering with the community on a political level … Pls let the various groups in the community organise the relief distribution and stop asking your campaign team members to do the work of the village councils and other disaster groups in the community. you are only putting division among the people… its a disaster so lets work together and live the politics for the next general election….. my opinion like it or lump it……
Kid on the block; Facts), you are a fool, in the first place to get Dominica going again will cost many millions of dollars. And if things are to go right we need more than a billion dollars. The United States are only contributing $50,000.00 dollars at this time.
Assuming we are talking fifty thousand dollars in United States currency, that is equivalent to only EC$134,000.00 dollars, and if you do not know the meaning of "EC" it means Eastern Caribbean Currency, Dominica money. That is nothing, the help Dominica need right now, is far beyond that!
You and your kind are so stupid, all you are concern about is the free cloth, and free food some of you anticipate in the interim, but what about the years to come?
Francisco, I do think DNO should not allow your types of comments which insult the dignity and intelligence of its readers/users.
You are the fool and stupid one for you are lacking in communication and diplomacy skills to also respond respectfully to the comments of others.
Who do you think you are, you Marigot native? You are no more intelligent than others who comment on this Website. You are out of place. Know your place. Learn diplomacy and respect. If you had those godly and humane traits you would utilize diplomacy.
You need to return to school as a child who is learning discipline and respect to mention a few skills and virtues. I am still being respectful to you, responding accordingly. I hope this is the last time you call intelligent people derogatory names. OK!
what have you contributed? Can your contribution surpass what they are giving? If not why don't you shut the hell up and have a seat. You that idiot telemaque always makes the rest of us sound so stupid and ignorant. Bring your stupid ass to Dominica to help and stop hiding behind a computer in another man land… Idiot,,,.. I done talk there will be no rebuttal.
Every cent helps. What's being given by the U.S. & UK is a start that we need. When did Dominica and its people become so negative. The article is clear an assessment will be done and then…. Do we realise that people internationally ….. Non-Dominicans included are reading these blogs and like me are wondering what is really going on.
LizalinaXavierinJesusname September 1, 2015
People like you were the ones who have been calling a "revolution" in Dominica–except that your were speaking about gun, bombs, and dynamites–living in Los Angeles, you would not be touched..
But God said no to that kind, which would definitely cause much bloodshed, but He sent wind, rain, and water instead–I am sorry about the people who experienced the physical impact of it– but that cala was a "Spiritual" revolution from God in His quest to hit the peoples mind–but people like you are still dumb to understand; here you are going on and on with your sound of an empty and dark barrel–along with that "Hahahahahahahahahaha!" of yours; what is the reason for it, at a time like this?
LizalinaXavierinJesusname September 1, 2015
That Hahahahahahahahahaha is another post
On the other note I am glad to know that Prime Minister Skerrit's mind received that message from God; most likely he himself is not even aware of; but that the way God works through people. It is only God who would put that idea in his mind to call for the inclusion of Mr. Linton and his members of Parliament–the is the best thing he could do, right now; and I glad the Mr. Linton simply accepted.
I also know that God has put the minds of the majority of us, in Dominica, at its mode to start functioning with Love, through peace and unity–for that is His ways of Life.
Your stupidity and darkness–including the rest of you– cannot prevent God's work for our Dominica. David said in one of his Psalms: "Weeping endures through the night but Joy comes in the morning"
For us the night is going to be much longer than 12 hours –but when the morning comes the joy will also be present with it–that is hope by faith..
@Telemaque I can believe you. The article stated that, "The United States Embassy in Barbados said USAID is in the process of providing humanitarian assistance totaling USD$50,000 for the immediate supply of storm-related disaster relief supplies." Key words "immediate supply of storm-related disaster relief supplies." Why are you calling the "Kid on the block" a fool?
Any assistance right now is much needed. I can't say that I am at all surprised that even in the time of disaster and suffering, we a so still divisive in our words and our actions.
I countinue to pray for the healing of the Nation on all levels.
One Love Dominicans!!! (OLD)
You see all of these little devil heads you keep wishing will eat my head, I told you before they are biting you on your Butt, that is why you are all over DNO writing under all sorts of fictitious names.
If they allow you such privilege, what about me, why should they through my ting in the trash bin which they do sometimes. For instance I wrote something in response to Malzaire, you god, and pope yesterday, it has not seen the light of day on DNO, so what are you talking about?
(Those are yours dance with them).
Yes, but you are forgetting that this Telemaque want of nothing, and if any if my sister in Wesley suffered any damage, she would not have to beg for help, for I would give her what she need.
You all think a hundred and thirty-four thousand dollars EC, is a lot of money, how many billions they spend per year on war, and how many billions the donate to countries in the Middle East, think in terms of Egypt, how many billions they to them per year free for the asking.
I am not happy about the disaster, but I am happy that scum like you who call me an idiot will fell some pressure even for one day! Let me tell you something, I have motor vehicles park in my back yard costing more than a hundred thousand US dollars each, in Dominica, they cost more than two hundred seventy dollars each. I say that you to impress you I know how to count money, and the value. I do not play for peanut change.
"God in His quest to hit the peoples mind–"(Elizabeth).
You see Elizabeth, right there is where you and I differ; because although God allows things to happen, God does not perpetrate evil on people, The recent experience from that tropical storm is the work of Satan, right out of the pit of hell.Think in terms of Job in the Bible.
You are one who believes that Skerrit is a gift from God to Dominicans, but I confess if Skerrit is the best God has for Dominica, we all need to pray to God to remove Skerrit from the life's of our people.
If Skerrit was a gift to our people by God, Skerrit would have not need to bribe as many people to vote for his party. Did God give Skerrit thirty million plus dollars to pay people to vote for him?
If that's the case you are limiting the power of God. God, is not in Skerrit heart (sprit)! And I still say I yearn for the removal of that man by revolution, or any means necessary, cause him to bad oui!
LizalinaXavierinJesusname September 5, 2015
Telemaque, that is what I already said, you are too dumb to understand physical things, much worse for understanding spiritual things, which I always speak or write, you have no access to that kind of wisdom.
I am glad to know that you acknowledge not being like me–there is no comparison between you and me, whatsoever–are you not taking into consideration that number people who cannot see eye to eye with you on this website? So how can you compare you negative and dead mentality with anyone, especially me. You are not qualifies eh!
You also have no wisdom and intelligence to speak against Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, you could never sit on the man's chair; so when are you going to decide to knock it off about him?
Too bad that DNO is taking to long to print the comments on its board, look above and see what I said to you, about your comments–why would you think that I want to be compared with you.
I am under your influence: don't you know, if am drunken by your foolish comments when I read them how else to you expect me respond.
Yours are all trash, stupid, foolish comments you pull from some gutter in Toronto, I wish DNO would flush them all down a the toilet, or better yet into one of those filled pit hole you have in Dominica.
Yes, I see you are so diplomatic, that you are discriminating against Marigot people: You cannot deny that because you referred to me kid Francisco as a Marigot native. Well, it is no shame to be from the village of Marigot, but I am so proud of my birth place, the village of Wesley, that I hesitate to deny that!
You Facts machine, you are a bigot, you hate Marigot people; but when they chase you out of Canada, you might be happy to seek refuge in either Marigot or Wesley!
I bet you cannot tell me where in Dominica you are from: You know why, because you come from nowhere important in Dominica, far as I am concern you do not even know where in Dominica you were born, that is why you have no name eh, you are a dyableless. You know den evil sprit that our parent warn us from in what is called Karem (summer) they say if we do not behave they will take us oui! (Ah think you is one).
As they say unless it happen to you, you can hardly feel the pain of others..I feel terribly sad for my people in Dominica. I can only imagine how the Haitians felt following that earthquake..I really didn't give it much thought till now….
Thanks God for all the Help that Dominica is receiving now..from what I can see the devastation is beyond normal imagination..DA now needs Billions in Aid to get back to where we were..God Save Our people and Our Country!!
To be honest, you made me laugh.
There is a sentence in a book, "Imitation of Christ". It states, run here and there, you will find no peace" and "as long as there are human beings. . ."
I am surprised that they did not return to Haiti and so many of them still reside in Dominica. I suppose some of them are affected by the tropical storm.
Life is uncertain. We never know when and where disaster will strike or what will befall us. We can only hope for the best, with the help of God.
Should anything happen to us and we are still alive, we pray that God will help us through others and that we will eventually get over it.
Just as the false story was spread all over the place that the US was not requested to help, this allegation of distribution of items along party lines may ( I said may) also be another wicked propaganda item. I'm sure that some genius will soon come up with another allegation to explain the US assistance now.
Of course, once it is something negative so many of us run with it without analysing or seeking confirmation. I just wish we could occupy ourselves with positive activities at this time to try to bring relief to our hurting brothers and sisters.
Unfortunately, Tulip is right. All households in communities without water for example should receive water. However, the process is such that they are picking and choosing which households should receive water. Whatever the criteria is, it is unclear. It appears that known non-supporters of the governing party are not receiving water. So sad that true unity cannot exist during these trying times.
Took em out from the pack of cards
You really made me smile brother/sister. a little humour even in sad circumstances is welcome. I have been there my friend, just sick and tired of all the hate talk on this site so I had taken a break to de-tox.
Glad you missed me!
At a time as this there will be some fabricating and exaggerating stories. Low minds. Those who repeat that, also are of the same minds.
Dominicans who are affected are in dire need of help and this is what everyone should concentrate on, to assist the needy and take them out of this dilemma..
Remember prior to this terrible tropical storm, the UWP supporters were lambasting the PM for assisting the needy, they, stating that he is turning Dominica into a welfare State. I reiterate these are low minds since every country of the world has poor people who receive financial assistance from their government.
I am wondering if this storm is not the hand of God who has been listening to their insulting, ungrateful and derogatory words and was angry as I have always stated. I had warned them about. They better be careful for the worst is yet to come. God does not appreciate complainers and ungrateful people.
As I had always stated, D/ca and nationals, prior to this awful storm, was in a better shape than in bygone years. Many of us know that. Some people of today lack appreciation and respect. They are too haughty. It gets me angry as well when I recall what some of them wrote against the PM on this Website. Then some who respond as Francisco Telemaque who is undignified and insults those who comment. These are not nice people.
What come out of their mouths and also their fingers through the keyboard leave much to be desired. They take pride insulting others and not appreciating what they write, as if they, the critics know better.
Dominica strong is when all ,all, all DA people living overseas HELP their families, friends and our Government by sending humanitarian relief home and not depending too much on others. I am not saying that we can do it all, no,,,,we do need the assistance from the USA/British and others……..ONELOVE…..
Everyone will be receiving help based on their needs.
No one is expecting the impossible.
I hope those in Dominica who were not affected and can afford will give whatever they can.
St. Paul – Generosity in Giving – He who has more did not necessarily have more. He who has less did not necessarily have less.
Every able person can do something. They give what they have and they do what they can, be it physically.

A Giant Hubble Mosaic of the Crab Nebula
The Crab Nebula is a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star's supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded this violent event nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054, as did, almost certainly, Native Americans. This composite image was assembled from 24 individual exposures taken with the NASA Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 in October 1999, January 2000, and December 2000. It is one of the largest images taken by Hubble and is the highest resolution image ever made of the entire Crab Nebula.

Over the past few months, we've been talking about how to incorporate spiritual practices into our work places. This month I'd like to take a little break and talk about prayer itself: specifically, the Our Father.
Most of us have said the Our Father so often it's become rote. We can say it literally in our sleep! Because we've repeated the words so often, they can cease to have much impact on our lives. To make it worse, if you're like me, when you do concentrate on the words, you get stuck on certain phrases like "lead us not into temptation" and you find yourself wondering why God would lead us into temptation and what that must really mean.
That's why I'd like to share with you a translation of the Our Father from the original Aramaic. Bear in mind that the only official translations of the Our Father are those that come from the Latin and Greek. Nevertheless, looking at this prayer in a new way can help all of us better understand what we are being called to do.
Like Arabic, Aramaic is a subtle layered language that lends itself magnificently to poetry. And like Arabic, it's very difficult to translate because words can simultaneously carry both a concrete and an abstract meaning. It's a little like using the word "bread" to mean both the baked goods and money, but much more eloquent and evocative.
I think you'll see what I mean when you read the prayer.
"Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes,
who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.
Nethkâdasch schmach
May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.
Têtê malkuthach.
Your Heavenly Domain approaches.
Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d'bwaschmâja af b'arha.
Let Your will come true - in the universe (all that vibrates)
just as on earth (that is material and dense).
Hawvlân lachma d'sûnkanân jaomâna.
Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need,
Waschboklân chaubên wachtahên aikâna
daf chnân schwoken l'chaijabên.
detach the fetters of faults that bind us,
like we let go the guilt of others.
Wela tachlân l'nesjuna
Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations),
ela patzân min bischa.
but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose.
Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila wateschbuchta l'ahlâm almîn.
From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act,
the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.
Sealed in trust, faith and truth.
(I confirm with my entire being)
I particularly like the phrase "detach the fetters of faults that bind us, like we let go of the guilt of others." How often in both our work and personal lives do we keep fetters on ourselves and others? How often do those fetters prevent us from having "the lively strength to act?"
When I begin my week praying this version of the Our Father, I am once again struck by how it really is "the perfect prayer." Containing both the practical and the esoteric, the poetry of the words lifts me above my routine and reminds me despite my getting "lost in superficial things," God has a "true purpose" for me and my life.
This month may all of us discover our own true purposes and sing "the song that beautifies all."
