Bye Felecia!
So let's talk dream killers. You know, those people that make you loose focus by attempting to convince you that you're dreaming too big, that it could never happen or simply that what you're dreaming, just can't be done.
Whether they come intentional or fueled by a tall glass of morning Hater-aide, we constantly deal with people in our lives with the ability to kill our dreams and stifle that spark of hope that lives within in us all.
I am often asked, "Did you ever imagine in a million years that you'd be doing the things that you are doing now?"
Well, honestly, yes! Yes, I did. I remember pretending to be a great fashion designer as a young child. I'd pretend to do my finale walk at the end of the runway. I'd pretend to do interviews for television and magazines. I even recall walking into my bedroom with my dad's briefcase in hand, pretending to walk into "my" corporate office. In the back of my mind, I'd hear my employees say, "Good morning Ms. Rowe." Yep, I dreamed big and I'm Mrs. Thomas now!
One of my favorite scriptures is Romans 4:17. It reads, "calleth those things that be not as though they were." This is such a powerful statement. A powerful promise from God that if we just believe it so in hearts, that if we see it so, long before it is so, it shall be so. The word of God repeatedly tells us that there is power in the tongue and that we can speak the very desires of heart into existence.
I knew from my soul, from the moment that I can remember that I wanted what I'm walking into right now. I saw it, I desired it, I sought after it with faith, blood, sweat and tears. Oh please believe, that in spite of my mother lifting me up, the dream killers came. They came with mocking, they came with doubt, they came with the millions of reasons why I could never make those dreams of a little burned girl a reality. As hard as the road was; regardless of the losses, the setbacks, denials, failures, and or impossibilities that I faced, I never allowed anything or anyone to snuff out that vision, that remarkable dream that I had for my life.
Let's keep it real though. Dream killers will never stop coming. They will rear their ugly heads in many forms. Sometimes dream killers surface unintentionally in the form of family and friends that just can't see your vision. Sometimes they come in those very ones pretending to be a friend, but are secretly awaiting your downfall. Now this next statement may surprise you but, sometimes the biggest dream killer comes from within. Yes, YOU and that voice in your head that likes to share with you the many reasons it won't work, how you're not good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough, not equipped enough, or a slew of other lies designed to bring that dream to a screeching halt. In a perfect world we wouldn't have to deal with any of this negativity and all our dreams would just come true. Good luck with that. In reality you have want it and fight hard for it; so hard that you not willing to easily let go of it when times are rough and when dream killers are as persistent as a fly on a hot summer day in the south.
Don't EVER give up, give in or give out! I hope that my words inspire you today but this is what I want you to leave this blog post with… DREAM! But don't just dream. Believe in yourself beyond what you can see and beyond what looks impossible and never loose sight of what that dream realized looks like. Every moment that you get, call those things that be not, as though they were! And when your dream killer steps to you with a full dose of negativity, from deep down in your faith filled soul, simply say…..BYE FELECIA!

With all honesty I am having a very difficult time right now. In the past I have found this Blog to be very helpful, so I guess trying to vent a bit might help. I am so absolutely utterly terrified right now. The position that we are in right now is just tearing me right up. There is absolutely nothing I can do. Nothing at all. The future is all I can think about. I think it is so hard right now because there are so many unknowns in our future, and not knowing if your daughter is going to be okay is so difficult.
Katlyn holds everything in my heart and sole. She is what makes me breathe and smile. She really truly is my everything. I'm sure people in our situation would feel the same way too. We are so close to so much danger and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. I just want Katlyn safe. I need her here with me. Katlyn I just love you so much. I would trade places with you right now if I could. I really hate seeing my baby girl go through so much. It's hard.
She is only two-years-old and she has been through more than most adults. It just seems as though it's very difficult for her to get past all this sickness and live a normal healthy life.
I know the decision about what the plan for Katlyn will be, hasn't even been decided yet, but I'm just so scared.
We need a miracle. God please give us the strenghth to get through all of this. I know my baby girl is strong and I want to be right along side her, like I should. I'm Katlyn's mother. She is going to be okay. Katlyn is a fighter.

I'm very not happy with Blogger right now. In addition to being down for almost 24 hours, they also "lost" yesterday's post (along with your lovely comments) and today's post that was all ready for me to hit "Publish Post" first thing this morning.
I'm sure I had some useful information, maybe something witty or two...but oh well. I could just let the clothes speak for themselves. :)
Today's look was inspired by Kendi Everyday. I love her style and her blog. I already had the dress and sandals at the time of her post, but the necklace was an a-ha moment for me. What a lovely combination! Very unexpected.
What color combinations are you drawn to currently?
Labels: What I Wore, work

Wow! What a great color combo. I never would have thought to pair those two colors together. I am currently wearing olive green and never in a million years would I have thought of that. That's why I love the fashion blogging world. I am drawn to turquoise and berry right now. I also lost 2 posts on blogger, so I feel your pain. Have a great day!ReplyDelete

Good Versus Evil. It's an archetype known so well that it barely evokes anything from that vacuous pit you call a soul despite being a fundamental concept in storytelling, moral development, and basically everything else in life. But it's precisely because it's so ingrained that it often fails to inspire.
That's one of the more interesting parts of the history of comic books. As an art form, they've been around for centuries, but even the modern take of serialized, interconnected tales has existed since the 1930s. This offers an intriguing problem worthy of solving: how do you keep the base narrative conflicts fresh after being rehashed over and over again through publishers, characters, and reboots?
The answer, it turns out, is rather simple, though the execution can be quite complex (the recipe for most things worth pursuing). Comics have taken to regularly flaunting and questioning what it means to be good and bad—what it means to be a hero and what it means to succeed—by exploring internal and external struggles simultaneously.
Spoiler alert: this will contain discussions regarding Marvel's Daredevil and slight tie-ins with some Marvel and DC comic properties and their past stories, so be wary if you haven't seen the show or read the respective timelines.
If you pay attention to Netflix's Marvel's Daredevil, it's easy to see where showrunner Drew Goddard went for this tack. From the outset, either from prior knowledge or just the way the show presents the two characters, you perceive Matt Murdock as the protagonist and Wilson Fisk as the antagonist.
And why not? One is both a nighttime crime fighter and a defender of smalltime justice and the other is a wealthy, powerful, and pretty unsettling fella that outsources murder. However, they both have the same goal. They both just want to save Hell's Kitchen, a city ravaged by the fallout from The Avengers' climactic alien invasion battle.
It turns out just want to rid their hometown of rampant, deadly crime, but they both go about it in very different ways. It's all a matter of perspective. To Daredevil, the villain of his quest is the man behind the scheme to kick out tenants, enable a Russian drug ring, and back a human trafficking ring. All of that is straight from the stock list of Bad Guy Hobbies along with The Good Guy's Guide to Stopping It.
But from Kingpin's perspective, by reigning in the unregulated nature of the crime he's inserting his organization into, he's taking the first step to preventing his city from descending into complete despair. And he's not wrong. Structure would go along way to stopping innocent people from dying.
If you consider it instead by swapping the tactics of the two men, where Daredevil would use physical intimidation and Kingpin would manipulate a system for regulated coercion—oh wait, those are already both true. You see Daredevil torture a man in his second outing and Fisk run for office, mirroring Murdock's attorney career and Kingpin's penchant for excessive pugilism.
Perhaps Murdock's only saving grace is that he doesn't willfully kill, but that doesn't make him any better than Fisk. When he describes his first attempt at vigilante justice, he tells Foggy how he beat a man so bad that that man had to eat from a straw. And Murdock's response? "I never slept better." He thrives off of the violence.
But with each time Fisk loses it and beats a henchman down to the ground or something, it is always accompanied by regret and a deep, disturbing sorrow for doing what he considers is necessary. You can tell that Fisk is anchored to a single principle in his choice of cufflinks, a pair worn by his father so he can remember to "not [be] cruel for the sake of cruelty."
Murdock, however, holds no reservation. It's debatable if he even holds a glimmer of emotion. He's stoic and unmoved at Ben's funeral. He sheds no tears at Elena's corpse. Only when faced with the realization via Foggy's discovery of his secret that he's a cold, mechanized tool in the city's hands does he finally break.
If so inclined, this freshman saga could easily be aimed at a setup where Murdock is the antagonist and Fisk is the hero. It's a lesson of objectivity; it doesn't exist when it comes to heroes. To accomplish any great task against a great foe, you have to be willing to challenge your own preconceptions.
This exercise in trading traditional values comes out fairly well in the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer. It, in and of itself, is not a particularly good trailer, but it does force one very particular question from the less comic-inclined. "Why would Batman fight Superman?"
The trailer frames Superman as the villain, even going so far as to include a sound bite regarding "absolute power corrupts absolutely." It's more common, however, for Batman to be the villain. Not only that, it's more interesting that way.
Batman is aggressively doubtful of Superman's intentions while fearful of what the alien's existence means for his role in keeping the peace in the world. He seeks out a conflict with Superman to settle up on these—and a few other—questions.
Superman, however, has only ever tried to live by the ethos commanded by his ostensibly altruistic father before sending him to Earth. He wants to save the world because he believes they are a people worth saving, whereas Batman believes they need to be saved from themselves because they are insufferable and ultimately irredeemable.
But the easy way and a possible alternative interpretation is that Batman represents our viewpoint into an unknown and seemingly impossible power, one that actually (and recently) resulted in the near total destruction of several small towns and one big city. This naturally sidles our prejudices up against a villainous Batman.
This is because putting Batman as the antagonist forces our hand into lumping ourselves (by way of Batman representing our Greek choral opinions) into the bad guy camp. Now, instead of outright cheering for justice, it feels far more confused and uneasy and encourages us to empathize with Superman's seemingly unwanted struggle for peace.
As it turns out, it's never just Good Versus Evil. It's more just one person versus another person, either by way of physical struggle, conflict ideologies, or anything else that throws two perspectives into stark relief. It's the contrast and accompanying viewpoint that makes both good and evil, not any one objective pool.

Junior center Jayne Appel has become a fixture at post-game press conferences, joining a teammate alongside head coach Tara VanDerveer. She's almost always there because she's the Stanford women's basketball team's leading scorer and rebounder.
That wasn't the case Feb. 1, when UCLA's hounding held her to 6 points, well below her average of 14.9 per game. Therefore, while forwards Jillian Harmon (17 points) and Kayla Pedersen (13 points) joined Tara in the media spotlight, associate head coach Amy Tucker brought Jayne to the FBC tent. "She was available today," Amy said.
On the court, Jayne is as tough as they come, battling under the boards and intimidating opponents with her 6'4" height and her quickness. Off the court, she seems modest, almost shy, with a sweet smile. She saw limited playing time in the first half because she was tagged with two quick fouls. "You keep playing through them" and try to avoid them, she told an FBC fan.
Just like the teams, the referees have a half-time meeting with a referee coordinator to assess how they're doing, Amy said. Sometimes they make adjustments as a result.
"It's mentally more difficult" to be an upperclassman, Jayne said, because "there are more eyes on you." She also knows she has a responsibility to help younger teammates improve their game. For example, when freshman guard Lindy La Rocque wasn't exactly where she should have been during one play, Jayne spoke to her about it on the court. (During her freshman year, 2006-07, Jayne was tutored by Brooke Smith and Kristin Newlin, the team's senior post duo.)
Although recent games have been physical, "these games aren't as physical as the games in the pre-season" and in the NCAA tournament, she said, citing the team's hard-fought victory over Pittsburgh last year.
Something else that was different about Jayne's game against UCLA is that she was wearing a black sleeve on one knee. "It's just a little sleeve to keep it warm," she said.
Something that wasn't different was her unselfish play. She and guard Jeanette Pohlen led the team in assists with six each. Jayne also hauled in five rebounds and recorded one block and one steal. "Jayne's having an absolutely fabulous season for us," Amy said.
After such a physical game, Tara said she was glad the team would have Monday off. She also was pleased that the team took such good care of the ball (only 13 turnovers to UCLA's 19) and rebounded well (46 to UCLA's 34). She credited good conditioning for the team's fast pace. "Our pace is our offense and our defense," she said.
It's hard to imagine that Stanford could win when both Jayne and Jeanette (10 total points, but 0-7 on three-pointers) had off days, but other players stepped up, she said, citing Kayla and freshman forwards Nneka Ogwumike and Sarah Boothe. "Lindy had a big 3 for us," she said. Nevertheless, "I hope some people shoot free throws tomorrow," she said, after the team made only 10 of 22. The team's goal is to make at least 75 percent of its free throws.
The nationally televised game was not "our best game of the season," but NCAA officials responsible for tournament seeding "saw us win," Tara said. "We missed open shots, but we did a lot of good things."
Point guard Rosalyn Gold-Onwude's "shooting percentage is not what it needs to be, but her defense really helps us," the coach said. "We need everyone to feel a sense of urgency like Jill. She's being a great leader of our team. She's all Pac-10 right now." She added, "I'm enjoying how Jill's playing her senior year. What a great kid she is. I expect her to keep doing what she's doing."
For the team overall, "I see big improvements since we played Cal" and lost, Tara said. Nevertheless, "we don't have a big margin for error. There are no gimmes."

I've been at a "run stop" while I'm waiting for this QT (quadriceps tendonitis) to clear up. Right now, I have received the "go-ahead" from a doctor/runner friend, who has been helping me rehab my quad with some cross training a couple of mornings a week, to attempt a couple of short runs this week. I'm hopeful...
One of the things that I have found helpful in running is music. When I was in high school, I tried running a few times, mostly as conditioning for football or other sports. I never really liked it... sadly. I think part of it was the absence of music. When I was in high school, portable, personal CD players were the cool item to own. Unfortunately, many of them weren't good for running (you know the whole "CD skipping" thing isn't cool when you're trying to listen to something). Thankfully Steve Jobs and others introduced us to the iPod. I have an iPod shuffle that goes with me on every run.
Since many of my runs are long and I run 4 or 5 days a week... I'm ALWAYS looking for fresh music. The picture above is an actual screen shot image from my iTunes library. I have created running playlists of music for almost every day of the week. Each of those playlists contains different songs. Only a couple of songs have crossed over into multiple playlists. Additionally, "mega run" is a playlist containing all the songs from the various days for really long (20+ mile) runs and "rockin playlist" is something that I keep for those times when I really need a driving song to get me going.
Why do this?
Because it keeps the music fresh. I don't hear the same songs day after day after day. Some of the songs in these playlists have been in my playlist since I started running 2 1/2 years ago. But only having them up for a listen once or twice a week keeps them fresh.
Additionally, I'm always looking for fresh tunes... and adding them to whichever day's playlist is the shortest (since I usually listen to my music on shuffle, songs at the end of the playlist have an equal opportunity).
It's just a simple tip that keeps me going... because while I'm running, music keeps me going.
What keeps you going? Additionally... what songs keep you going (if you listen to music)? Feel free to add comments below.
Keep running friends!
Disclaimer (if you're into that sort of thing): Jim is not a
professional runner nor is this blog endorsed by any company. These
thoughts are merely the thoughts and experiences on one runner. What
works and what doesn't work from a practical level. Jim hasn't set any
records, but he's run a few races (Marathon: 4h 22m / Half-Marathon: 2h

United States District Court, W.D. Washington, Seattle
June 2, 2017
GORDON SCOTT STROH, Plaintiff,v.SATURNA CAPITAL CORPORATION, NICHOLAS KAISER and JANE CARTEN, Defendants.
POWELL PC, Christopher B. Wells, Attorneys for Plaintiff
Gordon Scott Stroh
Jeffrey B. Coopersmith, Brendan T. Mangan, Attorneys for
Defendants DAVIS WRIGHT TREMAINE, LLP
is federal jurisdiction in this case because Plaintiff is
pursuing two federal statutory claims that have survived
motions to dismiss: Plaintiffs Sarbanes-Oxley claim under 18
U.S.C. § 1514A and his Dodd-Frank claim under 15 U.S.C.
§ 78u-6.
Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§ l5l4A(b)(1)(B), 15 U.S.C. § 7202(b)(1), 15 U.S.C.
§ 78u-6(h)(1)(B)(i), 15 U.S.C. § 78aa, and 28
is proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(c) (1) and (2) because
the individual defendants are domiciled in Bellingham,
Washington and the corporate defendant maintains its
principal place of business in Bellingham.
for Relief
characterizes the claims that he will pursue at trial as
1. Plaintiff will pursue Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank claims
against all three defendants. Plaintiff will seek damages
based on lost compensation - back pay and double back pay
between his termination and the trial plus front or future
pay over the years his whistleblower status will impede his
opportunity to gain equivalent employment.
2. Both of Plaintiff s claims are predicated on the same
facts. Defendant Kaiser imposed a poor "culture of
compliance" or "tone at the top, " as the SEC
describes management's attitude toward adhering to
securities regulations. There are salient examples. Kaiser
mocked prosposals by a compliance and risk management
consultant. When Kaiser perceived a conflict between
securities regulations, he threatened not to comply with
either. Kaiser responded angrily to advice from Stroh about
employee disciplinary disclosure requirements and compliance
with new SEC "pay to play" requirements, leading to
his telling Stroh's compliance team to set aside
compliance functions and pursue "loopholes" and
"arbitrage schemes" instead.
3. Kaiser created the impression of doing due diligence to
comply with AML and SAR duties and avoid facilitating
terrorist financing but in reality prioritized business
development. For example, Kaiser convened a meeting of
Saturna's IT staff and directed them to create a computer
network on his yacht, in case the FBI confiscated the office
computers, in which event the IT staff were not to tell FBI
agents about the yacht network. Kaiser threatened to fire the
entire IT staff when he learned of their reaction to his
directive to lie to the FBI. Kaiser acknowledged that
"red flags" appeared in the investigation of a
prospective customer's ties to terrorist financing and a
U.S. Senate report warned of terrorist financing concerns
about a prospective business partner, but Kaiser brushed them
aside. Kaiser rejected without even skimming a compliance
manual prepared for STC by its president, a veteran trust
officer, and then repeatedly ordered the trust officer, Stroh
and later a lawyer assisting Stroh to violate attorney rules
of professional conduct and state laws regarding authorized
practice of law by drafting instruments for customers.
4. Under the leadership of Kaiser and Carten, Saturna engaged
in a litany of securities regulatory violations from
2011-2014. These included for years failing to file Outside
Business Activity reports on companies that Saturna's
star business developer, Monem Salam, had failed to disclose
and even attempted to conceal. Carten, despite holding a
securities industry supervisor's license, as did Monem
Salam, had also failed to file outside business activity
reports. Kaiser kept excess cash in a mutual fund in
violation of SEC Rule 35d-1 (the "names rule") for
years in spite of Stroh's repeatedly urging him to
rectify it. Kaiser ignored Stroh's advice on investment
advisor "best execution" requirements and
investment of customer account funds in a manner inconsistent
with objectives. When Stroh reported insider trading by an
officer of Saturna and consulted outside counsel, Kaiser
berated Stroh and directed him to terminate the engagement
immediately. Kaiser again harassed Stroh for consulting
outside counsel for an affiliated mutual fund regarding
prospectus disclosure of minimum purchase waivers.
5. When he determined that Saturna was violating securities
regulations, Stroh advised Kaiser and Carten to take
corrective action. Defendants often followed Stroh's
advice, but in the process Kaiser usually attacked
Stroh's competency, belittled him, threatened Stroh with
loss of his job on occasion and continued to harass Stroh.
Kaiser was particularly infuriated by Stroh's directives
to Monem Salam, Saturaa's "MVP, " regarding
repeated compliance problems. Kaiser's retaliation
against Stroh culiminated shortly after a particularly severe
scolding of Monem Salam by Stroh and on the same day Salam
was obtaining permission for yet another outside business
activity, July 16, 2014.
6. On July 15, 2014, Stroh met with Carten, told her how
deeply wounded he was by Saturna's refusal to raise his
pay for the coming year and that he had other employment
options, although he did not. Carten told Stroh to go home
and cool off for two days. Stroh had repeatedly expressed
concern that he and his team - compliance assistant Jacob
Lewis and Saturna Capital Chief Compliance Officer Michael
Lewis - were substantially underpaid because of Kaiser's
animosity toward compliance. Stewart had interviewed with
Frank Russell and Lewis with the SEC, so Stroh was still
pushing for an increase in their compensation as well. After
he left the office on July 15, Stroh sought a concerted
effort by the three, learned that Lewis had been given a pay
raise, and asked Lewis to advocate for Stroh. Lewis did, and
Carten softened her stance. She and Stroh then began
negotiating a raise for Stroh.
7. As the Carten-Stroh negotiation moved toward a midpoint of
their respective positions on July 16, but without
concluding, Carten invited Stroh to ''discuss
further" in the morning his onging employment at a
higher salary or his working on a temporary basis until a
replacement could be obtained. Carten did not tell Stroh that
two days earlier she had signed an agreement with a recruiter
to replace Stroh or that her last offer to Stroh was for an
amount that his replacement would earn. Carten then phoned
Kaiser for advice. Kaiser seized the opportunity to
intercede, and decided that Carten should bring in "an
idependent counsel to help [her] fire her chief legal officer
in the morning." Carten followed Kaiser's
instructions and had an outside counsel meet Stroh the next
moring before he could conclude the negotiation. The outside
counsel greeted Stroh with notice that Stroh was no longer
employed there because Saturna had accepted his resignation -
although Stroh had never tendered it. Stroh begged for his
job but was repeatedly rejected by Carten and the outside
8. Plaintiff objects to application of the "after
acquired evidence" defense on any basis for the reasons
set forth in his Motion in Limine. Plaintiff asserts that he
has standing to bring SOX and Dodd-Frank claims despite his
role of providing legal and compliance advice. Defendants
mischaracterize protected activity by presuming that it is
limited to advice relating to "securities fraud"
alone; but protected activity clearly includes advice
regarding violations of other federal securities statutes as
well as regulations promulgated by the SEC and its
self-regulatory organizations such as FINRA. Controlling
Ninth Circuit authority and rulings in this case on
Defendants' initial motion to dismiss have established
Plaintiffs standing and application of his claims to SEC
regulations beyond fraudulent securities transactions alone.
dispute the legal and factual characterizations in Paragraphs
1 -8 above.
Defendants will pursue the following affirmative defenses at
trial: Failure to State a Claim: SOX,
Dodd-Frank, and Wrongful Termination
Stroh's First Cause of Action for violation of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act's whistleblower retaliation provisions
("SOX claim") and Second Cause of Action for
violation of the Dodd-Frank Act's whistleblower
retaliation provisions ("Dodd-Frank claim") both
require that Mr. Stroh establish that he suffered some form
of adverse employment action, and that the adverse employment
action was tied in some manner to a protected activity. These
claims fail for lack of proof in the following ways:
a. Mr. Stroh Quit and Refused Saturna's Offer to
evidence will show that Mr. Stroh quit his job and then
refused Saturna's offer to return to work. These facts
defeat all three of the claims set forth above.
b. Mr. Stroh Did Not Suffer Any Adverse
Employment Actions Prior to His Departure from
Saturna.Plaintiff has advised that he claims only
his alleged termination as an adverse employment action for
which any damages are sought. However, to the extent the
claims set forth above turn on an alleged adverse employment
action purportedly suffered by Mr. Stroh prior to his
separation from Saturna, the evidence will show that he did
not in fact suffer any actionable adverse employment action.
Mr. Stroh's Separation Was Because of Money, Not
Protected Activities.
The evidence will show that the reason for Mr.
Stroh's separation from Saturna - regardless of whether
he quit or was terminated - was his desire for additional
pay. There was no causal link between any protected activity
and the end of Mr. Stroh's employment at Saturna.
Many of Mr. Stroh's Actions Do Not Qualify as Protected
Activities Under SOX.
Many of Mr. Stroh's allegations regarding
Saturna's legal and compliance actions do not relate to
alleged violations of the rules and regulations of the SEC in
order to support Mr. Stroh's SOX claim, or to his making
disclosures that are required or protected under SOX or rules
and regulations under the jurisdiction of the SEC, in order
to support Mr. Stroh's Dodd- Frank claim.
Mr. Stroh's Reports of Compliance Issues are not
Protected Activity Because they do not Step Outside of his
Role as Chief Legal Officer.
Because all of Mr. Stroh's actions in raising
compliance issues took place as part and parcel of his job as
Chief Legal Officer of Saturna Capital Corporation (or his
parallel duties with Saturna's affiliate or subsidiary
companies) they do not constitute protected activities.
evidence will show that Mr. Stroh quit his job and then
refused Saturna's offer to return to work. These facts
defeat all three of the claims set forth above.
Mr. Stroh's Separation Was Because of Money, Not
Protected Activities.
Many of Mr. Stroh's Actions Do Not Qualify as Protected
Activities Under SOX.
Mr. Stroh's Reports of Compliance Issues are not
Protected Activity Because they do not Step Outside of his
Role as Chief Legal Officer.
Saturna Would Have Made the Same Decision Absent Mr.
Stroh's Protected Activities.
accepted Mr. Stroh's resignation. The evidence will show
that it would have made the same decision to allow him to
resign even in the absence of any protected activity. This
defense defeats Mr. Stroh's claims. As noted above,
Plaintiff claims only his alleged termination as an adverse
employment action for which any damages are sought.
Mr. Stroh's Claims for Damages Are Foreclosed or
After-Acquired Evidence Cuts Off Any Damage Claim.
Mr. Stroh left Saturna, the company's investigation into
his work history (including a review of the hard drive of his
work computer) revealed evidence of gross insubordination,
drug and alcohol use impacting his work performance,
pornographic materials, and other materials evidencing an
egregious lack of respect for and loyalty to his employer.
Saturna also discovered that Mr. Stroh had been convicted of
a felony forgery charge, which he had never disclosed to the
company or to Saturna's regulators. These facts, alone or
in combination, are sufficient to defeat Mr. Stroh's
claim for damages.
Mr. Stroh Failed to Mitigate or Minimize His
Stroh remains unemployed today, nearly three years after his
resignation from Saturna. The evidence will show that Mr.
Stroh rejected Saturna's offer for him to return at a
higher base salary and failed to take reasonable efforts to

This week has gone by so very fast. I just can't believe it. We have been so busy and traveled a lot. We started out the week with a real quick trip from the rest area in Florence, KY with a pick up in Florence only going up to Cincinnati. It only took a few hours and so we were a little discouraged and thinking that was it for the day, but before we even got it off loaded we were offered another load from Florence going to Painesville, Oh.
So we went to pick that load up and was a few minutes behind because of the short load and the man at the pick up point was in a foul mood. Pops was upset by him. Why is it that one negative attitude can upset so many other people? Anyway we got that on the truck and left for Ohio. It took us until late that evening to get up there and on the way the offered us another load. This one would pick up in North Jackson at a FedEx Freight Terminal. It was going to be a truck to truck transfer. That means that another Custom Critical truck would bring the load that far from somewhere and we would take it the rest of the way. A lot of Canada loads are truck to truck transfers and also if there is a truck that is not a team of two drivers then one driver can't always go the full distance in the time allotted. It was a big load of office furniture that just came up from Cincinnati. We couldn't figure out why that didn't just give us that load in the beginning and give the other guy our load that we brought up from there. Then no transfer would've been needed. Oh, Well. We got the furniture loaded and away we went. This is our third load of the day. We are tired. And it's only Monday.
We drove for awhile and then took a little break to sleep and then got moving again. We were headed into Methuen, MA. Pops drove across Interstate 80 in PA which is not the best of roads in good conditions and we were getting sleet. He took his time and he does a really good job. I tried to get some sleep although I figured it wouldn't be easy because I had some concerns for my son Tom going through my head and issues with my dad still arising. But I did sleep and it was good even if it was short.
When I woke up, we were in New York, I think and the roads were horrible. There were several inches of icy slush on the roads and no plows in sight. Traffic was pretty light though so that was a good thing. It took us 24 hours to drive a trip that should've only been about 10 or 11 hours. But we arrived safely. We got the furniture unloaded and thought we found a Walmart to sleep, but they wouldn't allow overnight parking so we had to find somewhere else. We decided to go up the interstate 6 miles and cross into New Hampshire to the welcome center.
We found parking there along with several other trucks. It was a nice place. And the workers were friendly. We realized that throughout the day and night while we slept there that they had gotten over 18 inches of fresh snow. It was lovely to look at, but once we were told that 12-18 more inches were expected we decided we were leaving with or without a load. We had already predispatched on a load to Missouri, but it had cancelled because they were getting some of the same storm affecting New England. So without a load we decided to go a little south to Hartford, CT.
By this time our truck was covered in 2 inches of ice. Our radio or our C-link computer would not work properly. The further south we traveled the more it rained. But the temperatures were rising a little and the rain proceeded to melt the ice off our truck, even though it was freezing on the trees and sidewalks. We hung out for only about 2 hours before we were offered a load leaving Shelton, Ct and going to Clarksburg, WV. We agreed to the load.
When we got to our pickup point, Pops went in to find out where to back our truck in and came out carrying a box. What is this? This is it! This is what we are driving all that way for that much money? Hahahaha. (See the picture)
While driving down to West Virginia we were offered many loads. Boy, they are trying to keep us busy. I do like the predispatch though. It makes it so much easier to know when and how to sleep, stop, eat and so forth. But no, we weren't interested in going to California. We don't have good luck getting loads out of there, so even though they pay well to go there, you sit too many days trying to get out and it doesn't pay in the long run. And we aren't interested in Alberta, Canada, thank you. Way, Way too cold there and again no loads out. But once again, we hadn't even hit Maryland yet and we picked up another load going from Meadsville, PA back up to Haverhill, MA. We did check the weather channel before accepting and we found out that that it was to be sunny and upper 20s to low 30 temperatures.
Once we delivered the little box, hahahaha. We headed for a truckstop in upper PA to wait until 4pm the next day for our next pickup. That gave us almost the whole day to get showers, do laundry, clean the truck, replace a headlight, brush the dogs and a couple other odd and end things. Downtime…… is good.
I got a call from my good friend, Carol, awhile ago. Her call was good medicine because I was having a heavy homesick day. She is doing well and still working way too hard. I miss my good friends from Rest Assured. She said that Ruth always asks if she's talked to me. I miss you guys so much.
I hate homesick days! I miss my family. Last night while driving to West Virginia, we came less than 20 miles from home. Being this close and not being able to see my family is worse than being half way across the United States. I know Pops gets upset when I am homesick. He doesn't know what to do to help me. I don't know what to do to help me either. I just hope everyone of you know how much I love and miss you.
So we are sitting in Meadville at a business waiting, our load is not quite ready. We are supposed to be in Haverhill, MA by 8am. I hope that all goes well. I don't know where we will go from there. It will be Friday. Maybe we will pick up one more load to get us back out of New England. If not, I hope that weather isn't as bad as it was.
Love you.

Having a B A L L in Orlando, Florida on vacation, I know what you are thinking, she is ALWAYS on vacation. Well, you have to have your priorities straight, right? Also, I don't write every single day. Today is our last day here, we fly out tomorrow morning, back to cold Holland, MI. But, I will be glad to see my cat Georgie. I took two types of yarn and patterns with me for this vacation, linen and wool to make 2 scarves. I didn't have time to find a new sweater that I wanted to work on and frankly, a scarf doesn't take up too much room in my back pack.
The Rowan lenpur linen drapes incredibly and feels awesome to the touch. I am a bit bummed since I only purchased 2 balls I could be in for some trouble as it is only 56 inches currently and I would like it around 75-80 inches, enough to wrap around the neck. Pray that my LYS still has some left!!!
The second scarf is a repeat of an earlier group of projects from last winter, the brioche stitch cable scarf. It is cushy and warm. I am using up some left over Malabrigo from an earlier sweater (hub always loves when I do this).

She Knit a Raspberry Beret
F-R-E-E! I touched it and I could hardly walk away. The big question, which color.....eventually I went with the red and I am SUPER glad I did, I love the look of it with my black wool coat. The pattern is incredibly simple and I finished it in one day (and I am not a super speed queen by any means). I posted it on my Ravelry account and I was getting comments almost instantly! I hope to see a lot of others wearing angora berets this fall.

Stripey Felted Tote
This project, the stripey tote happens to be one of my husband's favorites. I think it has something to do with the fact that I used stash yarn to make it. It is a cobbled pattern from Leigh Radford. Her original design has a self made handle but since I have about 5 sets of handles sitting around in my stash, I decided to use those instead. I think it turned out pretty well. I can't believe how L-O-N-G wool takes to dry after you felt it. I think this took 4 days.

Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe
Updated 7/16/2013 – See Original Here
Once at a picnic, I saw mathematicians crowding around the last game I would have expected: Tic-tac-toe.
As you may have discovered yourself, tic-tac-toe is terminally dull. There's no room for creativity or insight. Good players always tie. Games inevitably go something like this:
But the mathematicians at the picnic played a more sophisticated version. In each square of their tic-tac-toe board, they'd drawn a smaller board:
As I watched, the basic rules emerged quickly.

How Mainstream Media Unknowingly Helps The #ANC Use #Zuma As Its Racial Jesus
This is a very thoughtful post by blogger Siya Khumalo. Please take the time to read it gently.
Almost everyone on my Facebook has been asking the same question: how did the #ZumaMustFallMarch become about race? Isn't it clear that the current president is bad news for the country?
Jacob Zuma – the person and the president, the body that is depicted visually and the figure that is related to politically – is the terrain on which South Africa's race issues have played themselves out in weird and telling ways. Without realising it, mainstream media has done the ANC a huge favour in playing up the DA's "Zuma is corrupt" trope because as well-intentioned and truthful as it may be, what it's done is exacerbate the friction among the races – especially between black and white people – because white people do not know how to level an insult so it lands where it's intended. This is because colonialism and apartheid skewed racial relations.
Let's say Jacob Zuma…

So, I was reading an article earlier that quoted Rudy Fernandez, specifically that he says that 'it's time to rest a little before going back to work'. Of course, there is no telling where Rudy may be heading to get back to that work he needs to do, as he's pretty keen to get away from Portland and the Blazers seem quite happy to ship him to Boston, Chicago or wherever.
The whole deal with Rudy Fernandez ridiculous. For me, I see it as a marginal player overestimating his own abilities and getting frustrated with his role and wanting out. Sorry Rudy, it doesn't work like that. You signed your contract. You are employed by that organisation and are thus obligated to do what they ask of you. It is not the Trailblazers fault that you suddenly rate yourself as some sort of awesome ball-handling point-guard (which you're not) and the next coming of Manu Ginobili. Just because you think you have more to offer than just shooting doesn't mean you go around demanding trades.
Anyway, the Blazers seem like they'd be quite happy without Rudy around anymore, signing Wes Matthews and discussing possible deals with a few teams. The one trade rumour I noticed was Rudy to New York for Wilson Chandler (the Knicks wisely turned down a Rudy for Anthony Randolph and a first-rounder). Apparently, though, Portland has no interest in Wilson Chandler. Why? Chandler is six-eight, two-twenty, can play guard or forward, shoots a solid percentage, rebounds the ball and can block shots occasionally. Most of all, he seems to be a good guy and has never complained about his role, minutes, shots etcetera. The only thing against him, I guess, would be his arrest for marijuana possession (during the off-season) – and is that really such a big deal? I have no idea why Portland can't see Chandler splitting minutes with Wes Matthews backing up Brandon Roy and Nic Batum.
Oh, and Portland wants a first-round draft pick in return for Rudy, too. Crazy.
Let's recap. Rudy gets the idea he's far better than he actually is and wants out, hoping for an increased role elsewhere. Meanwhile, Portland can't get a deal done because, despite disagreeing with Rudy about how good he is, are asking too much in return because they presumably think he is worth more than he actually is. Um, what? It makes no sense.
Portland, do a deal and get rid of Rudy. Trade him for Chandler. Don't insist on a first-rounder. Be a deep, talented and successful basketball team this season. Now that makes sense.

RBS CITIZENS, N.A., RESPONDENT,v.ERIC OLE THORSEN, ETC., APPELLANT.
In an action to recover damages for negligent misrepresentation, the defendant appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Bartlett, J.), dated May 6, 2009, which denied his motion to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(7).
Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431.
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports.
STEVEN W. FISHER, J.P., JOSEPH COVELLO, PLUMMER E. LOTT and SANDRA L. SGROI, JJ.
(Index No. 12924/08)
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
On a motion to dismiss a complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(7), the court must give the complaint a liberal construction, accept all of the facts alleged in the complaint as true, and accord the plaintiff the benefit of every favorable inference in determining whether the facts alleged fit within any cognizable legal theory (see Leon v Martinez, 84 NY2d 83, 87-88). Applying this standard here, we find that the complaint is sufficient to state a cause of action against the defendant to recover damages for negligent misrepresentation. The plaintiff alleged the existence of certain facts which, if true, would establish that the defendant "had a duty to use reasonable care to impart correct information" to the plaintiff "due to a special relationship existing between the parties" (Fresh Direct v Blue Martini Software, 7 AD3d 487, 489; see J.A.O. Acquisition Corp. v Stavitsky, 8 NY3d 144, 148; Prudential Ins. Co. of Am. v Dewey, Ballantine, Bushby, Palmer & Wood, 80 NY2d 377, 381-385). The plaintiff also alleged the existence of certain facts which, if true, would establish that certain "information" the defendant imparted to the plaintiff in an opinion letter "was false, and that [the] plaintiff reasonably relied on [that] information" (Fresh Direct v Blue Martini Software, 7 AD3d at 489). The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(7).
FISHER, J.P., COVELLO, LOTT and SGROI, JJ., concur.

dinner with the herrera sisters…
iiiiiiiiits NYFW here and that not only means fashion fashion fashion, but also calls for the arrival of the ever so successful, and not to mention beautiful, herrara ladies (well, minus vicky – next time!!!).
i met up with the "LBC" girls: rosario (status mag / owner of trilogy and grey one social), teresa (model and tv host extraordinaire), tina (finally met the last sibling lol – tv producer and "cousin" of peter som bahahahhaa!) and their cousin (crappers, i forgot her name ah! but she works at lancome) in the upper east side at a turkish restaurant called beyoglu.
i'm grateful to have friends like the herreras because their entire family – all successful in their own rights, are ever so humble and truly have a strong family bond. it must be nice to have siblings that share the same interests and work in the same field – their momma raised them right!
so back to the food. we had our fill of hummus, some amazing turkish bread, fish and chicken kabobs and plenty of good laughs.

The judge has set bail for Michel Enright, the drunken racist film school student who tried to murder a New York City cab driver because he was Muslim.
Bail has been set at half a million dollars, so the guy may not get out of jail anyway.
Enright had returned from Afghanistan where he was making a documentary about U.S. troops.
His lawyer is planning to argue that he has post-traumatic stress disorder. But when he was arrested, he carried a notebook describing his experiences in Afghanistan which, prosectors argued, show that he didn't witness combat or anything else that was likely to cause PTSD.
The cab driver, on the other hand, is suffering from nightmares and can only sleep two or three hours a night.
Enright, got in his cab, greeted him in Arabic, asked if he was a Muslim, then shouted, "Consider this a checkpoint" and tried to slash his throat.
When he was arrested, Enright told police that he was a "patriot" and said he had been defending himself because the cab driver tried to rob him. Prosecutors are claiming that this shows Enright had the presence of mind to try to deflect blame and are using this to counter the defense's claim that Enright was "out of it", either drunk or temporarily insane, when he talked to police.
Which shows that's it's always a good idea to shut up and ask for a lawyer when you're arrested.
Well, what do I know. Maybe Enright does have PTSD or was temporarily insane. Maybe he went off to make a documentary about his friend in Afghanistan and came back a psychological wreck. There's no reason to think he was insane, but if he was, there's no reason to insist that he wasn't.
The good thing about insanity
Victims can be better off if their attackers are found to be insane.
There was the case here. A frat-boy at the university had some mental problems. He broke into a gun store, stole an assault rifle, then climbed over the fence into the football stadium and started shooting. He killed a jogger--an Olympic athlete--running past. He shot and wounded a member of the wrestling team. Then he committed suicide.
Here's the thing. The widow of the man who was killed filed a claim against the homeowner's insurance of the killer's parents. In order to collect, she had to prove that the murder was not an "intentional act"---that he was insane when he did it.
The insurance company argued that he wasn't insane, just suicidal. He started shooting at people because he wanted the police to come and kill him.
Well, the jury decided he was insane, and the widow and her child collected damages.
More recently, we had the case of a pitiful high school kid. He was an undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. He was expelled from school, so he murdered his parents. The next morning, the 15-year-old drove a car by himself for the first. He went to school with a .22 caliber rifle and opened fire in the cafeteria. He killed a couple of kids and wounded several more before being subdued by students.
As he sat in jail awaiting trial, they started giving him anti-psychotic medication. But the prosecutors still argued he was completely sane. They sent him to prison and saved his late parents' homeowner's insurance a fortune while the victims stupidly celebrated outside the courthouse.
I can understand it. I've had minor run-ins with belligerent, potentially violent mentally ill people and didn't come out feeling sympathy for them. But the D.A. in that case just cost them a fortune.

by our welfare correspondent Sid Ovsky
A potentially devastating peninsula-wide food shortage was narrowly averted this morning when a monstrous eel was discovered stranded on the banks of the River Mersey.
Pensioners, many who have had grave problems staying alive during this winter's credit crunch, were jubilant at the find.
'Most of us have never seen so much food before', marveled elderly ex-librarian and swimming instructor Chuck Dickinson, 76. 'Not since the spectacular giant squid find of 1947 which the Wirral dined on for three years'.
Stunned onlookers looked on stunned as local Chinese swarmed over the giant eel carcass, (rumoured to be three football pitches long and almost as wide as Kerry Katona), cutting the meat into strips for sale in the Farmer's Market later on today.
The Wirral Groan asked our resident culinary expert to come up with a suitable menu.
Take seven hundredweight of eel and add to boiling water
Strain off the scum and put it into a plastic bin liner.
Allow to congeal.
Add hair and human excrement.
Send to Wallasey Town Hall.

Mac had been a little crabby the last couple days. Then on Thursday, I randomly saw him grab his ear. I didn't think too much about it, but it stuck in my head. Then yesterday, he would not sleep in the morning at all, so I decided to take him in to have his ears checked. When he had the infections in May, the doctor didn't think it was necessary to come in for a check to make sure they were fine, so I didn't.
Well, sure enough, he had a double ear infection again yesterday and she said his left one was "nasty." Poor guy. Is it a new infection? Is it the same as the one last month that never cleared up? Was there fluid that caused another infection? There's no way to tell. She put him on a stronger antibiotic (Cefdinir) and since his one year (gasp!) well child is next month, she'll re-check them then.
I really hope this medicine clears it up for good. She said it isn't very common to get ear infections in the summer because of having fewer colds. But Mac hasn't had a cold with either of the infections. On the bright side, he really seems to weather them well. I mean, I ALMOST canceled the appointment yesterday because he just didn't seem like anything was really wrong. But since we were going into the weekend, I hate wondering if something is wrong and having to wait until Monday to find out (or finding an Urgent Care that is open). So, there you have it.
I really really REALLY hope he doesn't take after his big brother or daddy with their ear problems. I know ear infections are super common and even getting tubes is, but I just don't want to have that hurdle to jump, too. Plus, Jim had such major ear issues as a child that he still suffers the effects now as an adult. I don't wish that for my baby (or anyone, really).
So, we wait and see. I will pray that all is cleared up at his well-child appt and that this is his last ear infection for a long time.
This was Mac yesterday. Gee, he looks super sick, doesn't he?!?! LOL
Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

TORONTO, October 12, 2011 /Canada NewsWire/ - On World Food Day, October 16, 2011, Food Banks Canada is asking Canadians to take action in support of people in need. All Canadians can make an impact by donating or participating in an activity that helps them acknowledge the continuing global struggle against hunger.
World Food Day occurs annually on October 16 to mark the date of the founding of the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Organizations, agencies, businesses and individuals are marking World Food Day across the globe. The goal of the day is to strengthen awareness around the issue of food security and the struggle against hunger and poverty globally.
Hunger is an unacceptable problem in Canada. Food Banks Canada's HungerCount 2010 reports that close to 900,000 individuals turn to food banks for assistance each month - half of assisted households are families with children and 17% of households that turn to food banks for help each month are living on income from current or recent employment. This is an increase of 9.2%, compared to March 2009, 28% higher than in 2008, and is the highest level of food bank use on record since 1997.
"We know that hunger is a global challenge and we recognize the work of the FAO in their efforts to address this issue", says Katharine Schmidt, Executive Director, Food Banks Canada. "Sadly, in Canada, close to 900,000 individuals turn to food banks each month for assistance and close to 2 million Canadians worry about how they will get their next meal*. I hope all Canadians will take action on October 16th to help their neighbours".
Food banks in communities across Canada are at the frontlines of addressing short-term hunger relief. However, government action is required to address the underlying root causes of hunger in order to develop a long-term solution to the problem.

Hike: Big Creek Loop Trail (WA)
By Arlene
Spring Hiking in January
Winter in the Northwest can be the worst of times (long periods of wet and gray or brief freezing Arctic blasts), but it can also be the best of times. We got the latter today as we had a delightful Spring-like hike in the mid- January. We also discovered a little jewel of a hike and send our thanks to the volunteers who created the Big Creek Loop Trail by building links between some abandoned logging roads. The trail had sturdy bridges with good hand rails, excellent signage, a well maintained path, and even a well-marked troll under one bridge.
The trail starts near Big Creek Campground (about 9 miles from Hoodsport). Because of damage to the Big Creek bridges in 2007, you have to walk a few hundred feet down SR 119 to find the new trailhead, but it was easy to locate. The trail does most of its climbing early; we gained about 900-1000 feet in 1.7 miles, but the climb brought us out of the fog, lifted our spirits, and gave us some peek-a-views of Mts. Ellinor and Washington. We actually saw sunshine, and my pupils constricted for the first time in many weeks.
Big Creek Loop is about 4 miles (with another half mile or so on the camp's nature trail to get back to our car). We clearly had a bit of premature spring fever as we finished; we talked about how next time we will take the junction that leads ultimately to the summit of Mt. Ellinor, a hike which is far too ambitious and snow covered right now, but such delusions are probably symptoms of spring fever in January.

Free wrongfully convicted Tommy Zeigler from death row for forty years
The Ballad of the Death Row Cafe
Link to Youtube Video that tells the Zeigler Story
(The music playing in the background is Newell Oler's Green Green Grass of Home)
Poem about the 40 year long
struggle of death row inmate William Thomas Zeigler
to prove his innocence
My name is Tommy Z and I'm longing to be free
But this Death Row Café is as close as I'll be.
I've seen 'em come and go in the Death Row Café
More than 60 so far and I am still waiting my day.
It might come tomorrow, or maybe next year
But after 41 years, I'll go without fear
For God knows, and Judge Paul knows, I shouldn't be here.
My story is a long one and the courts say I'm done.
No appeals, no relief, just a gurney for one.
But if you'll listen for a few, I'll tell the truth to you
For the events of my life could also happen to you.
You see a judge with a grudge has all the legal tools
If he gets you in his courtroom, he'll makes the rules.
I would never have thought the law was so easy to bend
When I stood up in court to help out a friend
But a judge I'd never met became my executioner that day
When I helped out a friend, I got a ticket to this café.
Now judges aren't supposed to be witnesses for their friends
But judge Maurice Paul didn't care about the rules,
Came in in his robes and said, "Mr. Baker's my friend
But it didn't do him no good, cause Baker lost his job and the case,
Mr. James kept his bar and Judge Paul lost face.
You see, Mr. James, was a black man who owned a bar.
And some good ole boys from the KuKluxKlan wanted to take away his bar.
So beverage man Herbert Baker walked in the bar one day
And said "I saw you selling drugs, Andrew James so I'm takin away your bar."
But James said, "You're lying, and I'll go to court to prove it."
Then he asked me to help him and when a friend calls, I do it.
When Andrew James kept his bar, the youknowwhat hit the fan
Judge Paul was mighty angry and so was the klan.
And only four months later, men broke into my store
And shot me in the stomach and left me layin on the floor
But when I called the police, they framed me for the crime.
I didn't know then that my wife and her folks were layin dead in the store
And a black man named Mays was also beaten dead on the floor.
I told the police, "Mays was one a them that shot me as I came in the door."
But the police said I was lying and gave me the blame
And then that judge with a grudge got my case, oh for shame, for shame!
If that's what you call justice, justice is a bad name.
They lied about the blood on my shirt, said it came from my wife's dad
They said I beat him and shot him and even showed the jury how.
That prosecutor was lying, but the jury didn't know
And Judge Paul overruled them and sent me here to death row.
Thirty years later DNA proved what I said was true,
But the courts said it didn't matter cause I was in the store too.
So the last view of freedom that I'll ever see
Is the sight of an eagle flying high and care free
In a picture on the wall that's as close as I'll be.
My name is Tommy Z and I'm longing to be free
But this Death Row Café is as close as I'll be.
Free wrongfully convicted Tommy Zeigler from death row for forty years
