Grand Cayman & No Bake Cookies and Cream Bars
Yesterday we arrived on the third leg of our June trip. After traveling from Miami to Key West to Cape Cod, we are now enjoying eight days of laying on the beach, scuba diving and great food in Grand Cayman. I love this place! Three years ago Andrew and I were married in the Cayman Islands on Seven Mile Beach. With twenty-three good friends and family we celebrated for a full week filled with scuba diving, great food, and fun! We were married at sunset on Seven Mile Beach at the Grand Cayman Beach Suites.
I walked down the aisle to the sound of a steel drum band. We read our handwritten vows to one another as I struggled to remember them thru my tears.
The wedding ceremony was incredible and we couldn't have asked for a better setting.
After the reception we had cocktails and dinner at the beachside restaurant Hemingways. The wedding cake was a rum cake with coconut cream filling and a luscious buttercream frosting.
Last night we celebrated our third wedding anniversary at the Grand Old House, a 103 year old plantation house right on the water's edge over looking the Caribbean Sea. The views from the veranda are absolutely breathtaking. Three years ago we had our rehearsal dinner at the Grand Old House, so when we were thinking of where to have our anniversary dinner there was no question. Andrew ordered the Cayman Turtle Steak Scaloppini with fried avocado rice and a spicy pepper sauce. I ordered the daily fish special of blackened Mahi Mahi, jumbo crab cake and a grilled jumbo shrimp. The food was incredible and the view was just stunning.
Now onto a wonderful and super quick recipe for a crowd pleasing dessert. These No Bake Cookies and Cream Bars are a twist on the classic rice krispies treats. Made with Oreo Cookies instead of Rice Krispies! 🙂

Happy anniversary, such great photos!!! Those bars sound easy and delicious!
Congrats on the 3 years! I love looking at wedding pictures and yours are beautiful! These no bake bars look so good….I'll have to give them a try!
Fabulous photos, looks like such a beautiful wedding!
And your bars sound quite delicious, how can you go wrong with those ingredients? Have fun, thanks, Chris
Happy 3rd! Lovely photos, I can see why you love the place.
Wow, your wedding looked amazing! That is so sweet that you are spending your 3rd anniversary there 🙂 I actually went to Grand Cayman last month, but only for a day because I was on a cruise. That was the one place I really wanted to stay for much longer! We managed to fit in an island tour and a snorkeling/Stingray City excursion by the company, Captain Marvin's. It was great because the staff was very friendly and there were very few other people on the tour with us. If you haven't done Stingray City yet, you should! It's basically a sandbar full of stingrays…but they are used to people and will come right up to you. So if you go on one of the stingray excursions, you get to hold stringrays, feed them, and get some really cool pictures of the whole thing 🙂 I also loved the snorkeling because the water in Grand Cayman was the clearest blue I have ever seen…but you probably already know that since you went scuba diving. My husband also really liked the turtle farm on the island tour. You get to see huge sea turtles and hold baby ones. I think you can also swim with them but we didn't have time. There was also a place where you could swim with the dolphins across the street from the turtle farm. Oh, and you might as well check out the little town called "Hell" just to say you've been there… I got a kick out of sending a postcard back home postmarked from Hell 🙂 And stock up on rum cakes…YUM! Well this was a long response but I just really loved the Cayman Islands, lol. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!!!
Happy Anniversary!!! You look SO beautiful in your wedding photos…and your photographer did a great job! What great colors/light/shadow in all the shots. On another note, these bars look crazy good. I would never have thought to use anything besides another type of cereal in a rice krispie treat knock-off. Yum!
That is so fun to be able to visit the place where you got married again. Your wedding looks like it was wonderful. Have fun reminiscing down there!
wow, sweet pea – you were such a beautiful bride!! happy wedding anniversary!!!
I love the pictures of your wedding! I hope you're enjoying your anniversary in Grand Cayman 🙂
PS… the bars look awesome and so easy to make!
Happy anniversary! Beautiful photos. It looks like it was a fabulous ceremony. 🙂
Happy 3rd anniversary, Christina! Thanks for sharing these photos, they're all absolutely gorgeous. And your dress was stunning! I definitely understand why you got married here, and are visiting again.
Your wedding cake sounds DELICIOUS, rum cake and coconut cream filling, swoon. Happy Anniversary! Im pretty pumped for some hot weather so I can justify making tons of no bake desserts!
Happy Anniversary, Christina! Thanks for posting the wedding picture. You were a beautiful bride! 😀
We have been timeshare owners there since 1985. One restaurant our family and friends all agree is a must do is called "Calypso Grill." It can be difficult to get in there at times but well worth it. Also check out the beautiful tile work in the observation deck at Camana Bay.
We went to Calypso Grill for dinner last night and it was amazing! 🙂 I ordered the Jamaican Jerk Curry Jumbo Shrimp and my husband ordered the Mahi Mahi Escoveitch. We sat outside on the deck overlooking Morgan's Harbour and watched a pretty awesome lighting storm in the distance over the ocean. We absolutely loved it and the setting was perfect! 🙂
Gorrrrrrgeous pics!! Happy Anniversary. And I'm making those bars PRONTO!! Sooo right up my alley. XOXO
Beautiful photos! Congratulations on your anniversary!
I have been following your blog since last November when I made the pumpkin fudge. I have made many of these recipes since. But, I have to say…I was nervous about this recipe when I was at the point of mixing the three ingredients together. The texture is so weird! But, I have to say…they turned out just like yours and were a huge success at work yesterday! Thanks for your many interesting recipes!
I am so glad that you and your co-workers enjoyed these bars. I was a bit nervous as well when I first made them…the texture is very different! But the final product was delicious and sooo super easy to make! 😀

Your pictures are beautiful! I'm thinking that this bar is a good, easy replacement for the day-to-day taste of a rice krispie bar! They look delicious….do they taste like an Oreo truffle?
They are really good…they don't really taste like a truffle just because there is no cream cheese in them. Kinda like a rice krispie treat but Oreo flavored. 🙂
I made these a few weeks ago, they were super good. I will be postin about them this week. Thanks!
I so glad that you enjoyed them! 😀

LOVE THESE! I had mixed feelings on the texture but I absolutely loved them. They are very chewy and just have an all around great flavor,thanks for sharing!
I had mixd feelings about the texture too..but after a few bites I got over it! 😉 I am so glad that you enjoyed them! 🙂
Hello. I think I am missing something. There are 3 ingredients. Ground oreos, marshmallows and butter. You say that they taste like an oreo flavored rice krispie type treat, yet I do not see the Rice Krispie in the ingredients?
Nope you aren't missing anything! 🙂 Only three ingredients are needed! They remind me of rice krispie treats because they have the same texture and consistency, but there are no rice krispies in the recipe.
Thanks so much. I MUST try these. I will let you know how it goes 🙂
Happy Anniversary…Very beautiful wedding.
I know I am going to have t try these treats…
perfect for halloween
hey, could you use 5 cups marshmallow cream instead of marshmallows?
I have never tried this recipe using marshmallow crème. Since they are very similar to rice krispie treats and marshmallow crème can be used to make those, I am sure these would turn out great! If you end up trying these with marshmallow crème I would love to hear how they turn out! 🙂
Hi, first-time visitor, here.
Is it necessary to butter both the pan and paper? Does the butter leave a residue on the outer-bars?
Also, how many does this make? I don't know how thick this would be in an 8×8.
yum! what a great idea!!
If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be Grand Caymans.
Made these bars for our Thanksgiving dinner at church. I needed an easy, quick dessert that could be easily portioned for a mad rush. These look crazy when you are making them, but they are super yummy. Will use this recipe again! Thank you!
Yea! I am so glad that you enjoyed them! 🙂
Oh these sound good and so easy! Thanks for the idea!
those sound wonderful – i'm also imagining them with rice krispies added, too.
I saw these on Pinterest and just made them. They are DEeelish! I highly suggest liberally buttering the wax paper though. They are sticky little suckers!
I can't wait to try these! I saw them in pinterest as "lumps of coal" for Christmas, and I really want to make them for my kids. But (alas!) I don't have a food processor. Do you think it would work to use a blender instead?
Theses are freaking amazing!!!!!!
I am so glad that you enjoyed them! 🙂

These look great, do you think they would be ok sitting out overnight (covered) or should they be refrigerated? I'm goin to make them for a bridal shower an was wondering if I can make them the day before.
You can definitely make these the day before. I would keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you give them a try I would love to hear how they turn out! 🙂
I think I am missing something – your directions say to press the rice mixture into the pan, but I don't see "rice" anything in the ingredients??
You are right…no rice. I changed the recipe directions to say just mixture. 🙂
LOVE these and beautiful wedding photos!! Stop in and link them up in my Happy 100th Birthday Party for Oreo! I'd be honored to have your recipe attend the party! http://cafescrapper-scrapsoflife.blogspot.com/2012/02/happy-100-birthday-oreo-cake-blog-link.html

Historic California Posts, Camps, Stations and Airfields
San Diego Barracks
(Including New San Diego Depot)
Enlisted Barracks
by Mark Denger
The Golden State was admitted to the Union in 1850. This same year, San Diego County became the first county created in the new State. It will be remembered that the pueblo, also known as "Old Town", was located immediately below the presidio, about three miles from the port.
The principal houses of Old Town surrounded the city square or plaza, in the center of which, flanked by two artillery pieces, stood the flag-staff from which the Mexican flag gave way to the Stars and Stripes. From Old Town the road followed the north bank of Mission Valley to Mission San Diego, where during those years, there was stationed a detachment of U.S. troops.
In those early days of American rule, San Francisco was the army's closest source of supply for troops stationed in San Diego. The increase of military garrisons in Southern California, had brought about by the need for military escorts to accompany the U.S. Boundary Commission, then establishing the boundary line between the United States and Mexico, under the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo.
It was during this period of San Diego's history, in 1850, that Andrew B. Gray, then a surveyor for the U.S. Boundary Commission, and William H. Davis, together with Jose Antonio Aguirre, Miguel de Pedrorena and Wm. C. Farrell, made plans for the founding of a new settlement in San Diego. This new settlement, called "New San Diego" was for many years rather ironically referred to as Graytown, or "Davis's Folly." Even the U.S. Commissioner J. R. Bartlett, in his personal narrative says, "without wood, water or arable land, this place can never rise to importance."
Nevertheless Davis and Gray, with their associates, formed a partnership for the purpose of developing the townsite which became known as New San Diego. Before papers were signed, however, a vessel arrived at La Playa with materials for the construction of an army warehouse. Supplying outposts was very expensive and slow in those early days. It had been determined that a distribution center closer to the activities involved was needed. The Army had selected a site at La Playa, on Point Loma, for this purpose. In charge of the project was 2d Lieut. Thomas D. Johns, 2d Infantry, U.S. Army.
Realizing that the location of the government buildings at La Playa would make it difficult to attract population to their new townsite, they prevailed upon Johns to reship the materials from La Playa, across the bay to the new townsite. To further persuade Johns, Davis agreed to build a wharf at the end of Market Street for this purpose. Apparently, Johns evidently joined the syndicate, for he received one of 18 shares issued for the townsite and was one of those who deeded land for the military reservation which became the New San Diego Depot. (1)
The wharf and several buildings were erected in 1851. The original storage facility at La Playa soon proved to be insufficient and the Quartermaster's Department soon made plans to augment this storage space at New San Diego. The wharf was "L" shaped, 600 feet long, and cost $60,000 to build. Military supplies for the depot were unloaded from ships onto the wharf and transferred to the New San Diego Depot where they were then transported by pack or wagon train to Fort Tejon, Fort Mohave, San Luis Rey, Chino, Santa Ysabel, San Bernardino, Fort Yuma, and other places. A line of pack trains across the desert was successfully established in 1851 by William H. Hilton, who carried supplies from San Diego to Fort Yuma for some time, under contract.
During these years New Town consisted only of a hand full of frame houses, a depot for the U.S. Subsistence and Quartermaster's Department and a large wharf. This then, was New San Diego.
San Diego Barracks, known at that time as the New San Diego Depot, was soon occupied by Volunteers (2). Captain Nathaniel Lyon, 2d Infantry, U.S. Army, was the constructing quartermaster in charge of the erection of the depot buildings (3). The first U.S. troops to be stationed at New San Diego was Battery D, 3d Artillery, who arrived in San Diego in 1855.
In May 1858, the Pacific Slope Indians went on the warpath in the Washington Territory and an expedition was fitted out, under command of Colonel George Wright, 9th Infantry, U.S. Army, for the purpose of chastising them. The only remaining company left at the San Diego Mission was Company D, 3d Artillery, under the command of Captain Francis O. Wyse, which had arrived on February 1, 1858. Company D was ordered north in June of that year to join Colonel Wright's expedition.
The departure of the soldiers created considerable alarm in San Diego, as it left the southern border of the United States exposed. The citizens of San Diego were called upon to hold themselves in readiness to lend assistance to the local corps of the California Militia (known today as the National Guard). With the departure of Company D, the use of the San Diego Mission as a military post ended. The Washington Indians were defeated in three successive battles fought early September, 1858.
On December 6, 1858, Company G, 6th Infantry, with Captain W. S. Ketchum commanding, moved into the New San Diego Depot which now became a garrisoned post. Upon the promotion of Captain Ketchum to major in June, 1860, command of the post devolved upon Brevet Major Lewis A. Armistead (4).
The outbreak of the Civil War caused the transfer of most of the regular army troops from the New San Diego Depot to the eastern theater.
Early in November, 1861, Captain T. L. Roberts with Company E, 1st Infantry, California Volunteers (5), relieved the regular troops at San Diego who departed shortly afterwards by steamship for the east. Company D, commanded by Captain William. H. French, and Company H, commanded by Captain Sylvester Soper, both of the 5th Infantry, California Volunteers, occupied the post of New San Diego in February and March, 1862. Company H was ordered away shortly afterwards and Captain French's company was transferred in November, being replaced by Company G, 4th Infantry, California Volunteers, commanded by Captain Grant. Captain Grant remained in charge of the post until August, 1865, when he and his company were moved to La Paz, Arizona.
The post was vacated in June, 1866, the barracks and other buildings remaining empty of military personnel for years.
General Orders No. 2, Military Division of the Pacific, dated April 5, 1879, changed the designation of the post from the New San Diego Depot to the San Diego Barracks.
During the next decade various companies of the 8th and 9th Infantry regiments garrisoned the Barracks. Occasionally the company was called out when Indian troubles arose; sometimes it returned to San Diego, but again was replaced by another.
During World War II the U. S. Navy was permitted to erect temporary buildings on the property which were used for the fleet post office. The property reverted to the city at the end of the war and, in 1946, was loaned to the state of California for use as a National Guard armory, for which purpose the buildings are now occupied.
(1) The land embraced in the reservation was conveyed to the government on September 12, 1850, by warranty deeds for a nominal consideration. The deeds, eight in number, were not placed upon record with the recorder of San Diego County until Jan. 17, 1870.
(2) The name of the post was changed from New San Diego Depot to San Diego Barracks by General Orders No. 2, Military Division of the Pacific, San Francisco, April 5, 1879. San Diego Barracks continued to operate as a subpost of Fort Rosecrans until abandoned December 15, 1921.
(3) Capt. Nathaniel Lyon, U.S. Army, rose to the rank of brigadier general during the Civil War. According to official army records, his activity and judgment at Boonville, on June 17, 1861, held Missouri in the Union, deciding "the fate of the state in favor of the Union." General Lyon was killed on August 10, 1861, at the Battle of Wilson' Creek (Springfield), Missouri.
(4) Major Lewis A. Armistead, of Gettysburg fame, was killed at the head of his brigade on Cemetery Ridge during Pickett's charge.
Undated US Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District History
A Quartermaster Depot was established in the early 1850's on 2.83 acres of property located on Blocks 18, 31, and 39 of the San Diego Barracks. This land was acquired by the War Department on September 12 and 14, 1850 from seven separate private parties. On 19 March 1909, the Treasury Department acquired an additional 1. 61 acres, lots E and F in Block 44 and Block 156 in its entirety, for the War Department under authority of an Act of Congress. Subsequently, on 2 August 1909, this property was formally assigned and transferred to the War Department in exchange for Block 39 (1.38 acres), which was assigned and formally transferred to the Treasury Department on 22 July 1909, under authority of the same act. The total site acreage is 4.44 acres, because the War Department once held that portion of the site which was later transferred to the Treasury Department.
Troops were stationed at the depot for the first time in approximately 1855 and the depot buildings were utilized as shelter for the troops. The post was subsequently abandoned in May 1866, reoccupied in January 1870, again abandoned and reoccupied in 1876, since which date occupation for military purposes was continuous until 1921 although, in 1909, a property exchange with the Treasury Department occurred. The original name of the post was "New San Diego" but, was changed in 1879 to "San Diego Barracks."
In June 1928, lots E and F of Block 44 and Block 156 in its entirety (1.61 acres) were sold to private parties. However, the actual transfer of Block 156 (1. 38 acres) did not take place until 24 March, 1943. All improvements were sold or transferred with the property. In January 1929, in the opinion of the Judge Advocate General, it was held that the United States acquired no title to those portions of the lots 1 to 19, Block 18, lying below the line of mean high tide. It was determined that the major portion of lot 1 and a small portion of lot 2 are above the line of mean high tide. On 3 December 1934, lots 1 and 2 (.08 acre) of Block 18 were sold to a private party. By Executive Order No. 7451, dated 17 September 1936, Block 31, in its entirety (1.37 acres), was transferred to the Secretary of the Navy. This block was acquired on 13 July 1938, by the City of San Diego. Block 156, in its entirety, is owned by Packard Properties, Inc. and is leased to commercial and industrial businesses. Block 31, in its entirety, is now owned by the Catellus Development Corporation and the entire block is currently used as a parking lot. The southwest corner of Block 44 is part of a condominium complex. Block 39, in its entirety, is owned by the United States General Services Administration and is occupied by the old Federal Courthouse building. Lots 1 and 2 of Block 18 are owned by the City of San Diego but, are currently in the process of being conveyed to the San Diego Unified Port District.

Yes, as explained in the Python Reference. The use of the caret for the exclusive-or operator is from C, and is used in many current languages; this contrasts with the use of the caret in Pascal for pointer dereference, and in the various derivatives of Basic which use it as the exponentiation operator (C and many of it's relatives lack such an operator; Python uses the double asterisk ('**') for exponentiation, following a similar operator in Fortran).

Greg Trooper, Louise Mosrie
Six String Café
Greg Trooper's latest, Make it Through This World, marks his second for Sugar Hill and his most warily cheerful to date. Trooper's songwriting is sublime and deceivingly simple, telling third- and first-person narratives with an ease and charm that evokes sympathy for the brokenhearted, empathy with those in love and antipathy for those that knock us vulnerable masses from the former to the latter. If you can't identify with Trooper's songs, you've got some lovin' to do. $7/8 p.m. --GC
Get Him Eat Him, Opening Flower Happy Bird, the PussyWhisperers
Straight outta Brown U. (not RISD), GHEH are poised with cracking pop jangle suited for radio and an O.C. appearance that reminds of the hopped up mid-'90s UK charge, like Supergrass. Snort too much nutmeg and Opening Flower Happy Bird seems a sweet first utterance. The Pussywhisperers? No idea, but their moniker saunters the razor wire, natch, as deviously great or a very poor choice. Find out for yourself. $5/10 p.m. --EW
500 Miles to Memphis
The five Cincinnati boys in 500 Miles to Memphis may have picked the wrong nomenclature: Sure, the measurements are correct and apropos, but the band's sound isn't a straight line to the Tennessee cradle of music. There are layovers in NYC's punk lairs, Chicago's busted blues clubs, LA's Skid Row booze excess and down in Florida, where rock gets rabid and swampy. An exercise in American Eclectic--gritty, dirty and damn good. Free/7 p.m. --GC
Regina Hexaphone, Len's Lounge
The Cave
This is a smart pairing of two hybrid outfits. Locals Regina Hexaphone give you a little folk, a little county, a little pop and a whole lot of lovely. Down from Cincinnati, Len's Lounge packs a two parts country/two parts folk/one part rock sound, overseen by the professorial-voiced Jeff Roberson and decorated by Annie Winslow's harmonies and Annette Ellis' violin. 10 p.m. --RC
Kenny Roby's Mercy Filter
Local 506
Kenny Roby bunkered down in Charlotte last year to record with unfamiliar faces, listening to a lot of R&B and fresh off a fascination with samples and indie writers Beck and Ron Sexsmith. As such, this band and the record they've made is Roby's most encompassing yet: A bustling brass-band vibe (sans horns) populates some parts, but it's always paired with his homegrown rock proclivities and songwriter's knack at all the right times. $6/10 p.m. --GC
Saturday, August 20
Rainer Maria, Bellafea, Fin Fang foom, The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers, Hail Social
Cat's Cradle
Perry Wright, frontman and poet behind The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers, likes to pontificate: "I have this theory that Asheville will one day touch Charlotte," he says on Franklin Street in a conversation about urban sprawl and his support of the Piedmont Wildlife Center. Speaking of sprawling, this benefit bill is just that: new songs from Rainer Maria's forthcoming album, new songs from Bellafea's in-the-works LP, the good-to-be-back Fin Fang Foom and perfect songs from The Prayers and Tears' exquisite debut. $10/8 p.m. --GC
Skeeter Brandon, Jon Shain
Latta House
In his over 40 years of music making, Skeeter Brandon has mastered hundreds of songs and slipped in and out of about every style you could imagine, from blues, funk and rock to gospel, R&B and soul. His take on the Southern soul monument "When a Man Loves a Woman" is, sure enough, monumental. Jon Shain, who's shared stages with Big Boy Henry and Flute Boy Ian Anderson, splits the bill. $5, children under 12 free/6 p.m. --RC
Saxapahaw Rivermill
For a band featuring no siblings, Hooverville started out rather brotherly sounding, with echoes of the Louvins, the Stanleys and the Everlys in their mountain music. However, with the addition of one of those new-fangled drummer guys, there's now more of a roots-rock lean. And on Saturday, they'll become the latest act to inspire the musical question: Why do things sound better when presented next to a body of water? 6 p.m. --RC
Bastard Sons of Johnny cash, Southern Bitch
Johnny Cash was gracious in allowing the use of the name (allegedly against the wishes of his management), and the San Diego quartet shows reverence to the man's indominatable spirit with a hard-hewn mix of outlaw honky-tonk and country twang. Athens' Southern Bitch tread similar territory on their first album but have since turned up the rawk, bringing to bear a grittier guitar presence that feels as indebted to the Stooges as Lynyrd Skynyrd. $10/9 p.m. --CP
Tuesday, August 23
Of Montreal
Cat's Cradle
Despite the departure of Kevin Barnes' band after 2002's Aldhils Arboretum and the liquidation of its label, Kindercore, the Of Montreal frontman turned around and released his best album to date last year, Satanic Panic in the Attic. Where prior albums relied heavily on plush '60s-worshipping chamber-pop psychedelica, Satanic Panic and his latest, The Sundlandic Twins, push in new directions, adding some post-disco electro-flourishes and producing tighter, punchier arrangements, where before he had lingered in the sun-dappled dewy dawn. $10/9:30 p.m. --CP
The Teeth, the Young Idea
Organically cultivated in Philadelphia, The Teeth have created a salivation trail from local press solely on two self-released EPs and a run of local shows during the past few years. Vocalist Peter MoDavis manages to veer from baskets o' clichés while the band shifts between groove pop dug from late-'70s LPs of The Attractions or Boomtown Rats. Carrboro trio Young Idea cut maximalist punk snarl with righteous minimalist tact (especially in the Viv Albertine-ish guitar solos) that would definitely sound fab on a 45 platter. $5/10 p.m. --EW
Troika Music Festival with Jett Rink, Eyes to Space, Fashion Design, Veronique Diabolique, Feeding the Fire
Troika kicks out the jams for Night One, bringing the party boys of Jett Rink back to the Wetlands stage for the synth-guitar sweatitude they howl. Eyes to Space saddles goof to guile, sporting homemade keytars and nervous dancing with an innocent wit. Get goth and burlesque with Veronique Diabolique, but it's best to be ready to rock with Feeding the Fire. Fashion Design comes delightfully retrofitted. More happens Tuesday at Joe & Jo's. --GC

How does a state witness competency rule affect the admissibility of expert testimony? In a Federal Tort Claims Act case of first impression, the Ninth Circuit reverses judgment based on admission of medical malpractice expert testimony; circuit notes under the FTCA there is a sequential screening of proffered expert witnesses where under FRE 601 [2] "state law governs the witness's competency regarding a claim or defense for which state law supplies the rule of decision," and then FRE 702 [3] governs the determination of the expert testimony reliability, in Liebsack v. United States [4], __ F.3d __ (9th Cir. Sept. 23, 2013)
FRE 601 [2] is not a commonly utilized rule in the Federal Rules of Evidence. In pertinent part, the rule provides: "in a civil case, state law governs the witness's competency regarding a claim or defense for which state law supplies the rule of decision." On the other hand, FRE 702 [3] involves a steady stream of dispute. Yet, in certain types of litigation there is a close relation between the two rules and their application. This issue was presented in a recent Ninth Circuit case that considered the interplay of FRE 601 to specify the competency of an expert witness in a professional malpractice case based on standards of professional competence recognized by the states.
Professional Malpractice & State Requirements
In the case, plaintiff Liebsack suffered a stroke while receiving medical care for a "schizoaffective disorder that was treated ... with lithium." Allegedly her death was the result of a mix-up among her various medical providers. The controversy over the mix-up involved whether the federal government would be liable for not having processed a medical test ordered for the plaintiff, or was it the negligence of the non-federal providers of medical services to the plaintiff. The mix-up resulted in the plaintiff suffering a heart attack due to lack of effective monitoring, resulting in her lithium reaching toxic levels. The plaintiff sued her various medical providers for negligence, including the federal government under the Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA").
The case was removed to the U.S. district court, where the government asserted as it's "primary defense at the ensuing bench trial ... that the fault lay with another, nonfederal healthcare provider." In its verdict, the court found that other non-federal providers were at greater fault than the government. Under the applicable state comparative negligence scheme, the court assigned 15% of the fault to the federal government.
Whether State Law Requirements Apply
On appeal, the plaintiff argued that the government had been improperly allowed to present evidence regarding the negligence of nurse practitioner Jones, one of the non-federal providers. The plaintiff argued that the government's evidence concerning Jones failed to conform with "an Alaska statute requiring specialized expert testimony in medical malpractice actions." Under Alaska Statute § 09.20.185, certain requirements were established for an expert witness on the issue of the standard of care. The statute provides:
(a) In an action based on professional negligence, a person may not testify as an expert witness on the issue of the appropriate standard of care unless the witness is (1) a professional who is licensed in this state or in another state or country; (2) trained and experienced in the same discipline or school of practice as the defendant or in an area directly related to a matter at issue; and (3) certified by a board recognized by the state as having acknowledged expertise and training directly related to the particular field or matter at issue. (b) The provisions of (a) of this section do not apply if the state has not recognized a board that has certified the witness in the particular field or matter at issue.
Liebsack, __ F.3d at __.
The Ninth Circuit set forth several propositions to guide its assessment in the case. It noted that the government's liability under the FTCA:
"[T]he extent of the United States' liability under the FTCA is generally determined by reference to state law." Molzof v. United States, 502 U.S. 301, 305 (1992); 28 U.S.C. § 2674. But "[i]t is clear that federal law governs all procedural aspects of a claim under the [FTCA]." Schwarder v. United States, 974 F.2d 1118, 1126 (9th Cir. 1992). In the analogous setting of diversity suits, the Federal Rules of Evidence "ordinarily govern." Wray v. Gregory, 61 F.3d 1414, 1417 (9th Cir. 1995). However, "where a state evidence rule is intimately bound up with the rights and obligations being asserted, Erie R.R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64, 78 (1938), mandates the application of a state rule in a diversity suit." Wray, 61 F.3d at 1417 (internal quotation marks, alterations, and citations omitted). Moreover, Federal Rule of Evidence 601 instructs that, in civil cases, "state law governs the witness's competency regarding a claim or defense for which state law supplies the rule of decision."
Liebsack, __ F.3d at __.
Sixth Circuit Approach In Legg v. Chopra
In order to determine if the Alaska professional negligence standard was applicable, the circuit discussed a Sixth Circuit case that "addressed a nearly identical question in the context of a medical malpractice diversity action." The case was Legg v. Chopra, 286 F.3d 286 (6th Cir. 2002), in which the court noted the relation of FRE 601 and FRE 702. As described by the Ninth Circuit:
Legg also held that application of Rule 601 ... did not displace Rule 702, which—together with the analysis in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993)—governs the admissibility of expert evidence. See Legg, 286 F.3d at 291. Specifically, the court ruled that the Tennessee statute "is directed at establishing the substantive issue in the case, and [Rule 702] is a gatekeeping measure designed to ensure 'fairness in administration' of the case." Id. at 292 (quoting Fed.R.Evid. 102). Thus, Legg instructed district courts first to apply any state competency requirements pursuant to Rule 601, and then to determine if the testimony is "otherwise admissible" under Rule 702 and Daubert.
Liebsack, __ F.3d at __.
Interplay Of FRE 601 and FRE 702
The Sixth Circuit conclusion was one that was echoed in the Ninth Circuit's assessment. The Ninth Circuit warned that state competency rules for expert witnesses "do not displace Rule 702 and Daubert. 286 F.3d at 291. Rule 702 concerns the admissibility of scientific evidence, not a witness' competency to testify in the first place. '[A] key to establishing the scope of Rule 601 is to distinguish between competency and admissibility. A witness may be competent but unable to testify as to anything [admissible].' 27 Charles Alan Wright, et al., Federal Practice and Procedure § 6003 (2d ed. 2013). Thus, for example, a witness might satisfy the specialization and certification requirements under § 09.20.185, but her testimony would be inadmissible if, under Rule 702, it is not "based on sufficient facts or data." As one court has recognized, "possessing requisite credentials alone is not enough to render expert testimony admissible."Fuesting v. Zimmer, Inc., 421 F.3d 528, 535 (7th Cir.2005), vacated in part on other grounds, 448 F.3d 936 (7th Cir.2006).
After explaining the relation of FRE 601 and FRE 702 in the FTCA context, the circuit determined that the trial court erred and case was remanded for a new trial. The circuit determined that the error "could not have been harmless" and so the matter would have to be tried again.
The Liebsack provides a recent example of the application of FRE 601 in civil cases. The court should apply state law standards concerning the competency of a witness where "a claim or defense for which state law supplies the rule of decision." Other rules of evidence will govern the admissibility of the witness testimony.

On March 21, 1999, River Oaks Community Church held its first worship service at Forsyth Country Day School. From the very beginning, we wanted to create a church where those who have spiritual questions feel comfortable-even eager-to attend. Since our first service our worship team has played contemporary music and we invite you to "come as you are." In fact, one of our first mailings as a church was a postcard with a picture of a pair jeans letting people know that they were welcome to wear denim and learn about God at the same time.
Since February 12, 2006, we have been holding worship services at our current location on Lewisville-Clemmons Road. While our location and size have changed, our core values have not. We are still committed to the worship of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible as God's inspired Word, and our dependence upon prayer as the foundation of everything we do.

This article titled "Harvey Weinstein licenses Charles James after Met Ball success" was written by Rosie Swash, for theguardian.com on Wednesday 7th May 2014 14.40 UTC
It may be more than 50 years since his retirement from the world of fashion design, and indeed 36 years since his death, but 2014 is shaping up to be quite a year for Charles James.
Harvey Weinstein has confirmed rumours that he has "agreed to license, with an option to buy, luxury fashion brand Charles James from the iconic designer's estate". The film producer and co-founder of Miramax Films released a statement saying: "Charles James was one of the most incredible couturiers in the history of fashion and this label deserves to be a household name in the same ranks as Chanel, Dior and Oscar de la Renta. There isn't a single designer in high fashion who wouldn't name him as a major influence. We are beyond thrilled to be spearheading the revival of this brand and bringing it back to the world's finest retailers."
Weinstein's licensing of the James name was confirmed in the same week that an exhibition honouring the American designer's work was unveiled at the New York Metropolitan Museum. Rumours of the deal began shortly after the annual Met Ball in New York on Monday, where stars including Charlize Theron and Beyoncé dressed according to a "white tie and decorations" theme inspired by James. The designer, chosen by American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to be the first on exhibition at the Met's new costume centre bearing her name (it was previously called the Costume Institute), is far from a household name, despite being widely regarded in fashion circles as "America's first courturier". As Judith Thurman wrote in the New Yorker: "His name draws a blank outside the fashion world, although Christian Dior called him 'the greatest talent of my generation,' and Balenciaga, a miser with his enthusiasms, considered James 'the only one in the world who has raised dressmaking from an applied art to a pure art.'"
A revival of the brand under Weinstein's ownership will be guided by Georgina Chapman, the co-founder of the high-end womenswear label Marchesa, who married Weinstein in 2007. She will become the creative consultant for Charles James. It has not been confirmed who will design for the brand. Previously, Weinstein was involved in a buyout of Halston, the label once synonymous with 70s New York glamour, but the brand failed to enjoy a significant rebirth and Weinstein ended his involvement in 2011. With Charles James, however, Weinstein and Chapman have a chance to tap into the growing and profitable allure of red-carpet fashion at a time when the designer's name is attached to the biggest fashion party of the year. Following on from the Met Ball extravagazna, the Charles James: Beyond Fashion exhibition will travel, a spokesperson for Weinstein confirmed to the Guardian.
"Charles James' designs and gowns took everyone's breath away at the Met Ball," Chapman said. "He's long been an inspiration to me and everyone at Marchesa. We're thrilled to help bring the Met exhibit to museums around the country and to bring the spirit and style of Charles James back into the fashion marketplace."

Following the tragic and deadly fire and subsequent explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas that has impacted the entire community in the area, Willie Nelson has reworked his already scheduled April 28th Austin, TX show into a benefit concert. All proceeds will go to help West Volunteer Fire Department now dealing with the aftermath of this week's events. The announcement was originally made via Twitter, and then later posted on Nelson's website along with an interview featured on Texas Monthly.
The previously scheduled concert on 4/28 at @thenewbackyard will now benefit West VFD Details to come soon
— Willie Nelson (@willienelson) April 18, 2013
Willie, a Texas native, actually grew up very close to the West community, and tweeted his condolences after the news broke.
West has been in my backyard all my life.My heart is praying for thecommunity that we call home. #westtx
— Willie Nelson (@willienelson) April 18, 2013
It never ceases to amaze me how some folks are so ready to provide aid when it is needed, and Nelson has yet again earned my respect by practicing what he preaches! Amidst a week full of pain and loss, our hearts are with everyone in West, TX.

Thoughts on the Beginning of the Church
There is an old Peanuts cartoon that is one of my favorites. Lucy is writing a report entitled "The History of the Church". We only see the first line of the report which begins, "My pastor was born in.....". Now the Church has existed for a bit longer than that. In fact, by tradition the Church began when God poured out the Holy Spirit upon the disciples at Pentecost. Those followers of Jesus told the story of Jesus to others, and they told the story of how Jesus touched them and on and on. The Church, the gathering of the followers of Jesus, has existed in many forms and many places, in the deserts of North Africa, in the cold of northern Russia, in the heat of Asia. In each of these places, as people heard the story of Jesus it stirred something inside of them and they wanted to know more, wanted to connect with others who sensed the same thing. So began the church and over the first 300 years or so, folks gathered in homes and fields and sometimes even in underground tombs to share the stories of Jesus, celebrate the Eucharist and figure out how to live their lives as followers of Christ.

Update on Cadastral Standard Implementation - Bob Ader, BLM
Bob presented an overview of the current technology and coordination in implementation of the cadastral content standard. The cadastral data approach concentrates on being comprehensive and integrative rather than focusing on the pieces. There is a need to look beyond content to such things as positional accuracy and at dependencies in other themes for cadastral information. Lessons learned included the importance of supporting real-world decision making, keeping better decision making in the forefront, creating partnerships a the local level, and understanding the incentives for those with existing data.
Bob encouraged the participation of the FGDC and GOS staff in the upcoming May 6-8, 2003 Salt Lake City Western Governors' Association meeting on land records. Attached is the meeting brochure.
Jason Racette, BLM provides an illustration of partnership activities in the Yakama Cadastral/GIS Project. This is a cooperative venture of the BIA, BLM, and Yakama Indian Nation of Washington State. The Project combines the disciplines of Land Surveying, Realty, Cartography, Photogrammetry and Computer Science into a computer database of land status. Attached is project summary.

Sharon Shin, Modules 2 and 3 Coordinator is currently addressing the issues raised at the meeting. Hank Garie and Ivan DeLoatch will establish a metadata forum to clarify and resolve these issues.
Update on NSDI Future Directions Effort - Ivan DeLoatch

I love this bag! I am planning on making a Double Wedding Ring quilt, Glacier Star quilt and finishing a few UFO's....I know I want to be buying Salt Water and Noteworthy!ReplyDelete
It's fab Suz! I have a long list of wips I'd like to knock over next year, and about a gazillion projects in my head busting to get made. Definitely architextures on my most wanted list for next year! Merry Christmas xReplyDelete
What a generous giveaway.ReplyDelete
I am looking forward to designing some more paper pieced blocks next year and I am really looking forward to some relaxed sewing time so that I can work on a vanity case that I have already made a prototype for.
Ooh ooh, me me me!!! *Lol!* This is *such* a Gorgeous bag!!! ... Okay, this coming year I have decided to pull back from swap commitments (bye-bye QBSA...) and focus on making some items for us here at home and gifts for specific individuals ... I would really like to finish off my SKoW quilt as soon as possible ... I would love to make both my daughter and myself a quilt each of our own (the Once Upon a Time quilt for my daughter, and a Swoon quilt for me), plus there are a couple of others I'd like to consider ... I also would love to make myself a bag to replace the old one I am currently using (which is falling apart at the seams!) ... and I'd like to get on top of making some hand-made Christmas presents throughout the year, rahter than stressing about it right at the last second!!ReplyDelete
Oh my house is a good home!! Just think of all the adventures it would have around France!! I am going to become a Great Great Aunt in April 2013 so I will be making a quilt for the new arrival. Merry Christmas! Hugs Linda xxReplyDelete
Great bag and some great stitching! Well, in 2013 I am going to sew more and blog much, much more! I want to challenge myself with my quilting!ReplyDelete
Fun! I just want to sew as much as I can next year! And of course finish a few wips!ReplyDelete
What a generous giveaway! Thanks. Next year I intend to do some sewing. Returning to work as a teacher 3-4 days a week with three kids aged 3-9 has severely cut sewing time back! So anytime I can get in the sewing room I'll use. I think everyone will be buying Noteworthy by Sweetwater and Notting Hill as well.ReplyDelete
Next year I will be stash-busting!!ReplyDelete
Loved this bag when you made it - it would be welcome here any time!
Great bag! My intentions for 2013 are to try and use up a bit of my stash. I need to make a dent in it. I think I've done enough for the global economy now (or so my husband tells me!)ReplyDelete
I would love that bag to live at my house, it is lovely. Next year I am going to try to finish all my favourite projects and work on a whole bunch of new improv ones. And make a bunch of quilts. And learn more about fmq. Have a wonderful holiday!ReplyDelete
I LOVE the bag! I intend to NOT buy any new fabric until I've made a dent in the stash!!!ReplyDelete

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! In 2013 I plan on finishing hand quilting my Single Girl and making some size of quilt out of the Joseph's Coat blocks I have finished.ReplyDelete
Suz, I can't believe you are giving away this amazing bag!!ReplyDelete
In 2013 I want to be more productive with my quilts. I want to stick to the deadlines I set myself and not have these WIPs languishing on my table taking up space and never actually progressing.
My thing I want to make is a quilt for my sister. It'll be a queen size monitor, but hopefully pretty :-)
This bag is amazing, and I really love the fabrics you used! My goal for 2013 (at least the first half) is to make quilts for all the beds in my house. I think thiswill be an effective way to use up some of my stash and pretty up my home! Thanks for an amazing giveaway!ReplyDelete
What a fabulous bag!! I would not only love to give this beautiful bag a loving home, I would put it to good use every time I go to the store!! My 2013 intentions are to use my overflowing stash to make several quilts for a local home for teenagers in foster care. And of couse to finish those UFO's!! (No wait, that is my New Years Resolution!)ReplyDelete
What a great bag! I am going to finish a dress I started a year ago, and make some snack holders for my kids. I also would like to get more fabric with words on it, but I'm picky. Love a great subtle text fabric!ReplyDelete
Fabulous bag! I'd love to try a circle of geese!ReplyDelete
Next year I want to finish off several UFOs and start my 'swoon' quilt!
It's totally gorgeous! I don't even know where to start with my 2013 sewing intentions - I have so many things I want to do. This year I think I got better at pushing through and actually completing projects - I would like to continue with that trend! Also, lots more FMQ.ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas Suz! I think I've decided to pay homage to my investment in quilting books - and actually start making quilts out of them. Sort of like - pick a book - make a quilt. Bust the stash... finish those WIP's... sounds like I'm going to be busy!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness Suz.. what an amazing giftie for someone.... now I have to think about my intentions!!!! well.... I need to finish off some things.... but I really would like to work on making some pretty mini quilts...ReplyDelete
Have and awesome Christmas
what a lovely bag.......have a wonderful christmas....ReplyDelete

Suz, what a great gift for your readers, I'd be honored to win. I think next year Lotta Jansdotter will continue to be a hit with her 3rd collection, Glimma.ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous bag. My attempt at a circle of geese is still staring at me pitifully as I ignore trying to put it together!ReplyDelete
I just saw Lori Holt's new range called bake sale with lots of cute mixing bowls, recipe text fabric and old fashioned tablecloth prints - I think that will be pretty popular!
I would love that bag to hold some of my wips that are waiting to be crocheted. As far as sewing, I am getting a niece in April and I am working things to decorate my niece's bedroom. It is so exciting to be an auntie for the first time and to a girl no less!ReplyDelete

This is such a gorgeous bag. My sewing aims for 2013 are to make two mini quilts for my sisters-in-law. I think I will try to follow patterns for these, which I haven't tried before. I also would like to try to make my first tote.ReplyDelete
I loved this bag when you first posted about the swap - how lovely of you to share with a lucky follower! I'm really looking forward to buying some yardage of Architextures in the New Year. Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
You are so generous Suze!ReplyDelete
Hmmm... my sewing intentions for 2013 would start with making another quilt for our bed. Then a full sized one for Miss Abbie.
After that it's anyone's guess... :)
That is such a fabulous bag Suz! My intentions for 2013 are more quilts, more blogging and more fabric ( though I should be using more of my stash). I'm really excited about the Denyse Schmidt range coming out next year! Wishing you the Merriest of Christmases!!ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous bag you have made. There are 3 quilts I would like to make for my family which I have promised them awhile ago. I too plan to quilt the quilt top for my mother.ReplyDelete

Enjoy the rest of your school holidays!

Quilting is quite new to me.
I have started a paperpiece project I saw on "Selfsewn". My goal for 2013 is to finish that!
Merry Christmas.
Lovely! I've been quilting just over a year. I intend to make a single size quilt for my daughter-as i've made her 3 lap sized quilts, and she'd reallly like one for her bed! tyReplyDelete
What a darling bag, Susan! Don't include me in the draw (postage to the US is just too dear), but I wanted to say how pretty it is. I love the colors and the big stitches that add so much to the finish. Very nicely done! I hope you've had a wonderful, blessed Christmas.ReplyDelete
Such a gorgeous bag Susan - love the yellow lining. The first thing I am planning to do so far in 2013 is to make a quilt for my husband for our 20th wedding anniversary!ReplyDelete
Ooh...I have to smile...if you knew how many times I have posted this pattern on my bucket list...I want to learn to make this...but I would absolutely adore having this one. Thank you for being so generous! I have been so inspired by all the wonderful blogs I read and I want to make my boss and his wife (aka my adopted mom/dad)a 50th wedding anniversary quilt. That will be my big project, but oh I have so many others I would like to get done this year. I have special babies coming this year, young couples getting married and people who have shown me so much love all year long. I just want to cover each of them with a quilt. I have no favorite fabrics, I love them all!ReplyDelete
top fabrics on my list right now are Glimma and ArchitexturesReplyDelete
Looking forward to but Color Me Retro by Jeni Baker at AGF. So many plans for 2013 : I have to plan well and be realistic! LOL.. Have a great new Year Suz!!ReplyDelete
My aim for 2013 is to start sewing again after a long break.ReplyDelete
I think 2013 will see navy making a comeback , I have noticed peeks of it appearing in new ranges.
Now, wouldn't that be the perfect bag for my take-along work! Everyone would see it and think I am more talented than I actually am!. Oh, but then I would have to confess...ReplyDelete
I would love to give this bag a new home. You such beautiful work. 2013 is the year to stash bust.I plan to make my daughter a new quilt and her youngest son.ReplyDelete
That's such a beautiful bag. My sewing intentions for 2013 are quite simple. I want to finish all my WIPS from 2012 before I start something new in 2013. If I can accomplish that, I will be quite happy.ReplyDelete
I want to finish an I-spy quilt for my grandson this year, and finish all my WIPs! Love that bag you made, and would LOVE to cherish it and put it to good use!ReplyDelete
I'd like to make a quilt with my 5yards of rainbow charm squares....as I keep dipping into them for small projects.... And before I know it, they will be all gone!ReplyDelete
Oh what a cute tote bag..I love that circle of geese pattern. I have lots on my plate for 2013, many block swaps and Qal's, then of course wedding gifts and baby gifts to make..always plenty to do! Happy New Year!ReplyDelete
Well, I know what fabric I'll be buying in the new year and I think everyone else should too.....hehe. Notting Hill by Joel Dewberry. I'm going to buy a bundle of it, a Chrstmas present to me from my hubby, I just haven't gotten around to ordering yet and my favourite shop has been closed over the holidays.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance to adopt this lovely tote!
Teasing us with half quilt tops! Can't wait to see all of them! Thanks for the chance to win, I love new bags!ReplyDelete
A gal can never have enough bags - and such a gorgeous one would be TERRIFIC!ReplyDelete
My intentions for 2013: There are a number of UFOs from 2012 I want to finish, incl. two king size bedquilts as presents for friends. For new things, I want to try to get more into art quilts and enter some challenges. Still looking for what "my thing" really is. I think it includes bright fabrics - and I am experimenting more with creating my own of that, unusual piecing - patterns that create a secondary pattern, wonky patterns or things that don't need to match, and definitely freemotionquilting.
Fabrics: Selection in my area is rather limited and I am not very confident yet in buying online, but I will have to learn! Love batiks, next to bags this gal can never have enough of them (and shoes!), solids (moda marbles and just starting to get into kona solids), brights - any designer that catches my eye at the time.
Happy New Year!!!
What a lovely bag I love the colours. 2013 sewing intentions be better organised so I can complete more projects.ReplyDelete
My sewing intentions are to whip up a modern baby quilt, Amy Gibson's Perfect Prism with gray...:) for my niece's first baby, and the Madrona's Road Challenge. Then I will work on an all flannel modern quilt in neutrals... For someone special... Then I want to create a modern modern quilt for one of my daughters, which may end up as next Christmas' gift. Goal this year, work on next Christmas ASAP...:)ReplyDelete
great bag . thanksReplyDelete
What a sweet tote! I'm planning on making a dent in my UFO pile that desperately needs tending to. I'll be on the lookout for more textiles to replenish my stash. Happy New Year and thanks sew much for this chance to win!ReplyDelete

Employees Don't Want a Paper Paycheck
Oct 01, 2010, 11:57 ET
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Sixty-eight percent of employees are OK with being paid electronically instead of by traditional paper paycheck, according to results from the recent "Getting Paid In America" survey, conducted by the American Payroll Association.
The annual "Getting Paid In America" survey asked respondents a series of questions about how they would like to receive their pay. The survey found that only four percent of respondents were paid by paper paycheck. The remaining 96 percent were paid by direct deposit or paycards. Both payment methods allow companies to pay virtually all employees, even those without a bank account, electronically.
"Prepaid payroll cards are an efficient payment tool that streamline the payroll process, increase operational efficiency and reduce payroll costs for employers, while also providing employees with greater security, convenience and control over their paychecks," said Laura Kelly, Group Executive, Global Prepaid & Debit Product Solutions, MasterCard Worldwide.
In addition, the survey found that most employees are OK with having their pay stub being delivered electronically. The process known as "paperless payroll" sees companies deliver payroll data through a secure online portal.
When asked, "How would you feel if your company no longer gave you a paper pay statement but instead provided breakdown of your paycheck through an online portal?" 30 percent responded either "would like it" or "my company does it and I like it." An additional 38 percent were open to the payment method responding that it "wouldn't matter." Thirty percent would not like such a program.
"Our survey shows that 96 percent of employees prefer the convenience and safety of electronic payment methods," said Dan Maddux, executive director of the American Payroll Association. "Plus, electronic pay saves employees time spent cashing their checks and can help them increase savings."
The "Getting Paid In America" survey was held in conjunction with APA's annual public awareness campaign, National Payroll Week (NPW), held annually the week of Labor Day. More than 31,000 employees responded to the survey, providing insight into how workers are paid in America. For complete results, visit www.nationalpayrollweek.com.

Saenger Theatre
Second Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 3 comments
Here is a November 1930 ad from the Hope Star:
The original Saenger Theatre in Hope burned on Easter Sunday, 1944. Malco Theatres, the operator, didn't get government permission to rebuild until 1947. The January 17, 1948, issue of Boxoffice announced that the new Saenger had opened. As rebuilt, the house had 900 seats.
Back on November 6, 1926, an item in The Reel Journal said that the Saenger Amusement company was planning to build a $150,000 theater on the site of the Alice Theatre in Hope. The new theater was probably the Saenger. It was being designed by architects Witt, Seibert & Halsey. A December 4 Reel Journal item said that starting on December 15 construction bids would be taken for the new Saenger house to be built on the site of the old Alice Theatre on Second Street.
Closed? And it's President Clinton's hometown…give us 'hope' for that theatre! It seems there were many theatres with the name Saenger throughout the Gulf Coast region.
