The Origin of Our Food

My introduction to this country’s problematic food supply came through the movie Food, Inc. My interest in the subject stemmed from my desperation to turn our family's health around.

The startling information conveyed in Food, Inc. was enough for me to search for grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish and soy-/corn-free chicken. The more I learned, the more determined I became to feed our family with fresh, organic food, free of additives, hormones, and antibiotics. Farmers markets have now become our primary source of food.

Several years ago, author Barbara Kingsolver (The Poisonwood Bible and The Bean Trees) went a step further. She moved her family to a Virginia farm to learn to grow their own food. She chronicles her experience in the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life.

It is an easy, fun read. She eloquently makes the case for a return to our agricultural roots, citing the ominous transition to commodity subsidies, which focus on the production of cheap corn and soybeans.

. . . this new industry made piles of corn and soybeans into high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and thousands of other starch- or oil-based chemicals. Cattle and chickens were brought in off the pasture into intensely crowded and mechanized CAFO’s (concentrated animal feeding operations) where corn – which is no part of a cow’s natural diet, by the way – could be turned cheaply and quickly into animal flesh. All these different products, in turn, rolled on down the new industrial food pipeline to be processed into the soft drinks, burgers, and other cheap foods on which our nation largely runs – or sits on its bottom, as the case may be.

This is how 70% of our Midwestern agricultural land shifted gradually into single-crop corn or soybean farms, each of them now, on average, the size of Manhattan. Owing to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, genetic modification, and a conversion of farming from a naturally based to a highly mechanized production system, U.S. farmers now produce 3,900 calories per U.S. citizen, per day. That is twice what we need, and 700 more calories a day more than they grew in 1980.

. . .

Most of those calories enter our mouths in forms hardly recognizable as corn and soybeans, or even vegetable in origin: high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) owns up to its parentage, but lecithin, citric acid, maltodextrin, sorbitol, and xanthan gum, for example, are also manufactured from corn. So are beef, eggs, and poultry, in a different but no less artificial process. Soybeans also become animal flesh, or else a category of ingredient known as “added fats.” If every product containing corn or soybeans were removed from your grocery store, it would look more like a hardware store. Alarmingly, the lightbulbs might be naked, since many packaging materials also now contain cornstarch.

Kingsolver goes on to talk about the bigger packages and supersizing, citing our weakness for junk food. Food marketers, she says, exploit the weakness without mercy.

Obesity is generally viewed as a failure of personal resolve, with no acknowledgement of the genuine conspiracy in this historical scheme. People actually did sit in strategy meetings discussing ways to get all those surplus calories into people who neither needed nor wished to consume them. Children have been targeted especially; food companies spend over $10 billion a year selling food brands to kids, and it isn’t broccoli they’re pushing. Overweight children are a demographic in many ways similar to minors addicted to cigarettes, with one notable exception: their parents are usually their suppliers. We all subsidize the cheap calories with our tax dollars, the strategists make fortunes, and the overweight consumers get blamed for the violation. It’s the perfect crime.

The good news in all of this is that the tide is turning. Ever so slowly. As people make the connection between health and food, the demand for organic, nutrionally dense food grows.

As Kingsolver says,

From the rural routes to the inner cities, we are staring at our plates and wondering where that’s been. For the first time since our nation’s food was ubiquitously local, the point of origin now matters again to some consumers.

It sure matters to me and, thankfully, to many others.

The following interviews can be heard starting at 10 pm - 2 am Eastern / 7 pm - 11 pm Pacific (Network 1) 2 am - 6 am Eastern / 11 pm - 2 am Pacific (Network 2) 6 pm - 10 pm Eastern / 3 pm - 7 pm Pacific on The TalkStar Radio Network from our Washington DC Affiliate at http://radiotime.com/WebTuner.aspx?StationId=100596&ProgramId=149441& or Apple iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=295327298 or at The 'X' Zone Podcast website at http://www.xzonepodcast.com/

SEGMENT 1: 10 pm - 11 pm Eastern / 7 pm - 8 pm PacificDERREL SIMS - The Alien Hunter - 50 mile DEEP / 600 mile LONG UFO Orbiting Earth?- More than forty years ago, Derrel Sims had his first encounter with an alien presence. As he grew older, he experienced a malignant contact with these alien beings that would alter his life forever. As a result at a young age, Derrel made the decision that he would no longer willingly, be victim to their bizarre quests. Determined to change his role in life from being the 'hunted' to the hunter, he began to prepare himself for their pursuit. Every path he took, would equip him mentally, physically and intellectually to become a warrior for his cause and to assume the role he was born to play. As a result, Derrel has spent the past three decades researching the world of alien beings. His area of focus has dealt primarily with medical and scientific evidence of human/alien contact. To that end, he has spent years studying and training in a broad range of areas that would provide him with a full array of skills necessary for his search to find evidence of these creatures. From his accomplishments and certifications in hypnotherapy, to his education in graphoanalysis (handwriting analysis); he has pursued extensive training to assist in his efforts to aid abductees, in reclaiming memories of their experiences. In addition, to learning the methods for memory retrieval, Derrel has acquired considerable training in police, military and investigative work. These assets are critical to aid in the search, rescue and discovery of alien evidence. This thorough and unusual approach has placed him in a category unparalleled by others. His unique blend of personal history, coupled with his research and skilled investigative techniques prompts worldwide requests for him to share his knowledge. Being the first to discover and share the concept of alien implants, Derrel has been sought by those in the UFO communities, as well as those within the medical and scientific communities, to share his breakthrough methods at world wide conferences. In addition to this global recognition, he has been acknowledged for his contributions via a series of awards and commendations. His acclaim is further recognized through the many requests he receives annually to appear on a variety of radio and television shows, where he shares his knowledge with thousands across the globe. It is for these reasons, coupled with a passion that places him in the unequalled position of relating to those whose lives have been disrupted, that he stands alone in his efforts and his role. Derrel Sims is The Alien Hunter. - www.alienhunter.org

SEGMENT 2: 11 pm - 12 am Eastern / 8 pm - 9 pm PacificJONATHAN WEYER - The Faithful - Jonathan Weyer is the author of the upcoming novel, The Faithful, due to be released in the Fall of 2010 by Brio Books. He has also written a book about his ministry to atheists tentatively titled, Confessions of a Pirate Chaplain. This book is currently being shopped by his agent, Wes Yoder. Jonathan was born in 1974 in Huntingburg, Indiana. He spent two weeks every summer with his grandma who allowed him to check out stories about Bigfoot, the Mothman and ghost stories from the library. This summer reading gave him a lifelong love for scary stories. Jonathan's family moved to St. Louis, Missouri when he was in the sixth grade. After college, he went to Covenant seminary and graduated with a Masters of Divinity with honors. He is currently ordained in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. While pastoring two churches, one in Illinois and one in Florida, he began to write a fantasy book based on American mythology. After a move to Columbus, Ohio, Jonathan felt a call to campus ministry at The Ohio State University. During the transition from church ministry to campus ministry, he decided to write his second novel, The Faithful, which combined his knowledge of the church and his love for scary stories. Jonathan is the founder of The Thomas Society, a ministry dedicated to answering questions from doubters, agnostics and atheists. Along with the atheists at Ohio State, he won a Multicultural Award from the university. Because of his work with atheists, the Secular Student Alliance added him to their speaker's bureau. - www.jonathanweyer.com

SEGMENT 3: 12 am - 01 am Eastern / 9 pm - 10 pm PacificBOBBY LEGEND - A Legend In His Own Mind - Bobby Legend became intimate with Afghanistan during a trip of a lifetime in the '70s. The former land of the bible was known then as a vacation and drug paradise. Americans, especially college students and hippies roamed the land freely. Kings ruled the rugged terrain and tribal people with an iron fist. But now all that has changed. Legend spent four years in Afghanistan and saw the revolutionary change coming, with Afghanistan morphing into a land of tribal rogues and terrorists. He now says it is the open "hiding pace' for Bin Laden and the Taliban. Nearly killed leaving Afghanistan and befriended by the reigning king's son, Legend has an insider's view of the Afghan sovereignty. Legend explains the culture and politics of one of the world's most remote and fascinating areas.

SEGMENT 4: 01 am - 02 am Eastern / 10 pm - 11 pm PacificBEN ABBA - Secrets of an Immortal - Ben Abba is a modern day Plato with an important story to tell. The story of a real man, living among us, who has seen nearly 2,800 years of history through his own eyes.. Ben Abba grew up in a traditional household in middle America where he excelled in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, geography, history, and biblical studies. From his college years, he has gained extensive experience in computer and business security which he uses to protect financial institutions' information and assets. He is also a professional remote viewer. Ben Abba's love for the sciences and his insatiable curiosity open his eyes to the many possibilities that our universe has to offer. However his business and technical skills made him very skeptical to nebulous ideas. When he sought to find the oldest person alive on planet Earth, he used his skills in tracking down hackers and financial fraudsters, along with his unique researching skills to locate and make contact with a person older than 150 years old. What he found was too shocking even for someone with an open mind. However, after a couple of long interviews and lots of research, what started out to be unbelievable, soon turned into incredible. Ben Abba is the author that brings this amazing mystery all together. - http://secrets-of-an-immortal.com/

Mycotoxins are common occurrences in our food supply. If there is any type of health liability, the ingestion of mycotoxins only adds to the toxic load. There can be great benefit, therefore, in mycotoxin avoidance.

The veterinary world is well aware of this truth. The Center for Veterinary Medicine, part of the Food and Drug Administration, gave a startling presentation in 2006 listing specific mycotoxins and some of the health effects for animals and humans.

The following excerpts highlight some of the key findings of Dr. Michael Henry, as presented to the Risk Management Agency:

Aflatoxins

• Produced by Aspergillus sp. (A. flavus and A. parasiticus)

• Common feed substrates such as corn, cottonseed, peanuts, and sorghum.

• Occur most commonly in warm, humid regions of the south and central regions of the U.S.

• High levels of aflatoxins are associated with above-average temperature and below-average rainfall (micro-climate)

Vomitoxin

• Produced by members of genus Fusarium (especially F. graminearum)

• Commonly found on wheat, barley, rye and oats

• Reported most frequently in cool, temperate regions (northern U.S. and Canada)

• Member of the trichothecene family of mycotoxins

• Inhibitor of protein synthesis, affecting GI tract and immune system

• Swine most susceptible -- causing vomiting and feed refusal

Fumonisins

• Produced by Fusarium sp. (F. verticillioides)

• Found worldwide, mainly in corn and particularly corn screenings

• High levels associated with hot and dry weather, followed by periods of high humidity

• Three major fumonisins in feed are B1, B2 & B3 (B1 + B2 + B3 = total fumonisins)

• Most susceptible species are horses (equine leukoencephalomalacia) and rabbits

• Suspected carcinogens

Ochratoxin A

• Produced by Aspergillus sp. (A. ochraceus) and Penicillium sp. (P. viridicatum)

• Highest levels usually found in cereal grains (corn, barley, wheat and rye)

• At least nine ochratoxins identified, but ochratoxin A is the most common and has the greatest toxicological significance

• Nephrotoxic and a suspected carcinogen

• No FDA action, advisory or guidance levels established for ochratoxin A in U.S. feed

Zearalenone

• Produced by Fusarium sp. (primarily F. graminearum)

• Common substrates are corn, wheat, barley, occasionally oats

• Production favored by high humidity and low temperatures

• Estrogenic mycotoxin, swine most susceptible – vulvar swelling in gilts

• Toxicity related to reproductive system

• No FDA action, advisory or guidance levels established for zearalenone in U.S. feed.

The full report can be viewed here.

The website Know Mycotoxins offers valuable information on mycotoxin management for animal feed. Here, too, we see a striking understanding of the dangers of crop contamination:

Any growing crop, including forage and cereals, is susceptible to mould, with Fusarium types being the main concern. Fusarium moulds can produce mycotoxins on the growing plant. Whilst the moulds themselves may not survive the transition from field to feeding trough, the mycotoxins will remain intact, though invisible to the naked eye. Feeds may therefore appear and analyse as high quality, but may harbour a mycotoxin(s) challenge.

From my perspective, what's healthy for animals is also healthy for me. Animals are at risk when they eat contaminated food. Are we any different?

DR WILLIAM SCHNEID - Supreme Court Upholds Mandatory Employment Eligibility Checks - The United States Supreme Court voted today to uphold a controversial Arizona law that punishes employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. In a 5-3 vote split on ideological lines, the decision maintains an Arizona requirement for businesses to use a federal verification system to check job candidates' immigration status. The law in question is separate fron the more recent and deeply controversial Arizona law championed by current Governor Jan Brewer which requires police to ask anyone they stop about their immigration status if they have a "reasonable suspicion" they are in the country illegally. That law has been been put on hold while legal challenges work their way through the courts. Brewer is lobbying to skip the Ninth Circuit Court and bring the case before the Supreme Court. A loss there would be a tremendous blow to immigrants rights groups, who so far have garnered the support of everyone from the Phoenix Suns to Shakira in opposing the law. In today's case, Chief Justice Roberts' 27-page opinion for the court's conservative majority states "that the Arizona regulation does not otherwise conflict with federal law" as argued by parties' opposing the law. The liberal justices--Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer--represented the interests of a coalition of organizations that included the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, civil and workers rights groups as well as the Obama administration. Those opposing the Arizona law argue that the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 forbids states from enacting any laws that prevent businesses from hiring illegal immigrants. In his dissenting opinion Justice Breyer wrote that the law will impose "burdens on lawful employment" and further could result in "unlawful discrimination." The law upheld, the Legal Arizona Workers Act was originally signed by then-Governor Janet Napolitano in 2007 - www.worldfind.biz

Mycotoxins in Food (Part One)

One of the biggest reasons our family continues to embrace a grain-free diet is the compelling scientific evidence that mycotoxins frequently find their way into our grain supply. As we attempt to rid our bodies of unwanted pathogens, it's critical to choose healthy, fresh foods which are both easily digested and uncontaminated. The following peer-reviewed study, published in 2003 by Tulane University, looks at the implications of mycotoxins in foods.

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by microfungi that are capable of causing disease and death in humans and other animals. Because of their pharmacological activity, some mycotoxins or mycotoxin derivatives have found use as antibiotics, growth promotants, and other kinds of drugs; still others have been implicated as chemical warfare agents. This review focuses on the most important ones associated with human and veterinary diseases, including aflatoxin, citrinin, ergot alkaloids, fumonisins, ochratoxin A, patulin, trichothecenes, and zearalenone.

The study, which is lengthy and scholarly, looks at each mycotoxin and its threat to human and animal health. It gives the following information about ochratoxin, the mycotoxin which is emitted from some species of aspergillus and penicillium:

With other mycotoxins, the substrate on which the molds grow as well as the moisture level, temperature, and presence of competitive microflora interact to influence the level of toxin produced. Ochratoxin A has been found in barley, oats, rye, wheat, coffee beans, and other plant products, with barley having a particularly high likelihood of contamination. There is also concern that ochratoxin may be present in certain wines, especially those from grapes contaminated with Aspergillus carbonarius.

Of the Aspergillus toxins, only ochratoxin is potentially as important as the aflatoxins. The kidney is the primary target organ. Ochratoxin A is a nephrotoxin to all animal species studied to date and is most likely toxic to humans, who have the longest half-life for its elimination of any of the species examined. In addition to being a nephrotoxin, animal studies indicate that ochratoxin A is a liver toxin, an immune suppressant, a potent teratogen, and a carcinogen. Ochratoxin A disturbs cellular physiology in multiple ways, but it seems that the primary effects are associated with the enzymes involved in phenylalanine metabolism, mostly by inhibiting the enzyme involved in the synthesis of the phenylalanine-tRNA complex. In addition, it inhibits mitochondrial ATP production and stimulates lipid peroxidation.

DR CARNIE MATISONN - The Final Audit - The Final Audit is a thought-provoking tale of one man's attempt to explain his existence to his children, and embarks on a wonderful portrayal of his life with Gulliver as his guide and mentor. His lifelong wish is to trace valuable artwork stolen from his family by the SS in Nazi-occupied Norway during World War II. His tale starts with an impoverished childhood in a family devoid and incapable of love, leaving a 12-year-old boy to survive in a rickety caravan on his own during the post-World War era. Despite his circumstances, the author peppers his narration with his trademark dry humor and irony. You are swept on a journey through 1950s Johannesburg as the author fights anti-Semitism in an effort to improve his situation through education and a high work ethic. As he achieves huge highs and fatalistic lows in both his career and marriage, he remains focused on the missing artwork, inadvertently becoming involved with Mossad in an attempt to hunt down a Nazi war criminal. - www.thefinalaudit.com

JOHN DePASQUALE - Retired Chief Warrant Officer Special Agent with the U.S. Department of Defense (Army). - Mr. DePasquale grew up in South Brooklyn N.Y during the 40's, 50's and 60's with a mother who was always on welfare and a step father who wanted nothing to do with him, as a result he developed street smarts and survival skills which later helped in his career. During the peak of the Viet-Nam war Mr. DePasquale attempted to dodge the draft by having a local Godfather sign him up for the local Army Reserves, this only pro-longed to inevitable and his Reserve unit was later activated to active duty and he wound up in the Central Highlands of Viet-Nam. Upon Mr. DePasquale's return to the U.S; and being greatly discouraged by the war, he moved himself and family to Australia where he met David Hackworth, an Army retiree who was portrayed in the movie Apocalypse Now with Marlon Brando and another American named Jay who he later helped smuggle $250,000.00 out of the country. Mr. DePasquale had to later flee the country with his son after the loss of his money and business, leaving his wife behind. Mr. DePasquale re-entered the Army and was re-assigned to Germany, because of his past experience he was on the fast track for promotions averaging an increase in pay grade every year. Being burned out from working the German streets as a undercover drug dealer, he and three friends from Brooklyn planned to rob a Army payroll truck. Having failed at the robbery and not getting caught turned out to be a major turning point his life, he was later recruited by the Criminal Investigation Division (CID), an elite group working directly for the Secretary of Defense Dick Chaney. He continued on the fast track for promotions and after his promotion to Chief Warrant Officer, was designated for Special Operations and temporarily assigned to Panama where he assisted the CIA with the capture of Manuel Noreiga. During his Special Operations assignment he met a Captain who was also involved with Noreiga but smuggling drugs for him using U.S. planes. Mr. DePasquale later retired In 1998 from the Military after a mass murder of kids and their Father on the installation he was assigned as Special Agent in Charge and which could have been avoided if it were not for politics. After retirement he purchased a 47' sail boat and sailed along the west coast trying to forget some his past, while in San Diego was notified by his wife she wanted a divorce. Mr. DePasquale now lives in Florida where he continues to look for adventures. - http://trueadventuresofavagabond.com

PETER WOOLFORD - The Mis Math of the Harold Camping Doomsday Prophecy - author of The Genesis Grid, is the man theologians love to hate! Well, it's been rather disruptive for them to find that Genesis chapter one is built on the first 31 digits of pi, and perplexing for them when impartial mathematicians endorse that finding. "Populist hysteria" is what they call it, but we at The 'X' Zone have studied the book and think otherwise. Since 2003 the indications are building that this story, first released a year ago, will culminate in an exact eight year pattern at the end of September 2011. European powers are planning to jump into the vacuum of failing U.S. diplomacy, to impose a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Hardly anyone is aware of what the Germans are scheming to do, but they are acting according to a predetermined pattern laid down in the Bible thousands of years ago by powers alien to our planet. Germany will be aided by a man occupying a hugely powerful ancient office, the first century progenitor of which was a magician!

PASTOR HARRY WALTHER - End of the World - Saturday, May 21 2011 - Non Event Re Cap - The Weekend Forecast: Cloudy with a Chance of Doomsday? Be sure to live it up on Friday, because come Saturday, May 21, the end of the world will be upon us, according to Christian talk radio personality Harold Camping. Camping maintains that the Bible predicts that the Rapture will occur on May 21, 2011, and any left behind will be able to look forward to the end of the world on October 21, 2011. His proof? According to his interpretation of Bible timelines, the year 2011 is the 7,000th anniversary of the famous flood involving Noah and his ark. Why May 21st? According to Camping and followers, it is the 17th day of the 2nd month using the Hebrew calendar, which is a Biblically significant date. Camping is backed up by eBible Fellowship teacher Chris McCann and McCann's followers. Camping is no stranger to doomsday predictions: in 1992, the Christian author published a book titled 1994?, claiming that the rapture would occur on September 6, 1994. Since that day seventeen years ago came and went without incident, most do not hold stock in Camping's claims. Many are creating spoof websites, and atheist groups in the U.S. are holding "rapture parties" as a way to ridicule Camping's May 21st prediction. - www.satansrapture.com

JEFF ALLEN DANELEK - Doomsday Prophecies - Harold Camping, the radio evangelist who predicted the apocalypse would begin Saturday, May 21, 2011, said today his understanding of God's plan was just a little off. Speaking outside the headquarters of his media empire near the Oakland, Calif., airport, Camping said his prediction that the Rapture would occur Saturday might have been wrong, but he stands by his prophecy that the world will come to an end as forecast on Oct. 21. In a rambling discourse to reporters outside his Family Radio International office, Camping, an 89-year-old retired civil engineer, indicated he had misread the signs in predicting that the faithful would be lifted up to Heaven Saturday, leaving sinners to suffer through five months of disasters until the Earth was consumed in a fireball on the End of Days. God did "bring judgment on the world," on Saturday, he said, but there will not be any terrible buildup to the end. When it comes, it will happen quickly, he said. "We have to be looking at all of this a little bit more spiritual, but it won't be spiritual on Oct. 21," he said.

Harold Camping, Doomsday Preacher, Says Prediction of Rapture Was Wrong, but Not About End of the World

Harold Camping, the radio evangelist who predicted the apocalypse would begin Saturday, May 21, 2011, said today his understanding of God's plan was just a little off.

Speaking outside the headquarters of his media empire near the Oakland, Calif., airport, Camping said his prediction that the Rapture would occur Saturday might have been wrong, but he stands by his prophecy that the world will come to an end as forecast on Oct. 21.

In a rambling discourse to reporters outside his Family Radio International office, Camping, an 89-year-old retired civil engineer, indicated he had misread the signs in predicting that the faithful would be lifted up to Heaven Saturday, leaving sinners to suffer through five months of disasters until the Earth was consumed in a fireball on the End of Days.

God did "bring judgment on the world," on Saturday, he said, but there will not be any terrible buildup to the end. When it comes, it will happen quickly, he said.

"We have to be looking at all of this a little bit more spiritual, but it won't be spiritual on Oct. 21," he said. "Because the Bible clearly teaches that then the world is going to be destroyed altogether." His radio station will no longer preach about the end of the world, he said, because God's judgment has already come.

On Sunday, after the Rapture failed to occur Saturday as he had predicted, Camping was "mystified" and "a little bewildered," an associate of the California preacher told ABC News.

Tom Evans, a board member of Family Radio International, said Sunday that Camping's wife told him her husband was at their home and had no intention to speak or issue any statement for at least two days.

However, the evangelist did speak on Monday, saying he had been disappointed by the apparent failure of his prophecy, so he and his wife had gone to a hotel room so that he could sort out what had happened without distraction.

"When May 21 came and went, it was a very difficult time for me, a very difficult time," he said. "I really, really was praying and praying and praying, 'Oh Lord, what happened?'"

Camping had pinpointed May 21, at 5:59 p.m. as the exact time the Rapture would occur, when those chosen by God would ascend to heaven while cataclysmic earthquakes would begin to rock earth.

He spread the word on billboards, posters, fliers and digital bus displays across the country.

"I am utterly absolutely, absolutely convinced it's going to happen," Camping said last week.

It is not the first time Camping was mistaken about the end of the world. He once predicted the End of Days to be Sept. 6, 1994, but later said that date was a result of a mathematical error.

An Untimely Backward 4

I find board games frustrating. Often I get a comfortable lead, gloat to my opponent, and with one unfortunate card I'm back in last place. Candyland is a perfect example. You pick the Queen Frostine card, and you're within striking distance of home. Plumpy shows up and you're back at the beginning.

The newer edition allows a player to ignore a card he doesn't like. In fact, Plumpy doesn't exist! I might be interested in that version, but somehow it feels like cheating.

My kids are into Sorry.

I played last week with my two youngest boys and experienced unprecedented good fortune. I found myself with a myriad of 1's and 11's and a perfectly timed backward 4. Two more cards and I found myself with all four pawns in the safety zone. I could taste victory.

All I needed was a 5 followed by a 3. Instead I drew a backward 4. What?! How could this be? If I moved four squares back I'd be vulnerable. I begged and pleaded. "Please let me go two backward. Please!" They were too savvy to bend the rules.

The next player, Colin, drew a Sorry card. I begged and pleaded again. "Pick Brandon! Please!" There was no denying the truth, however. I was Colin's biggest threat. He mercilessly chose me.

I found myself back at the beginning, and within five minutes the game was over. I finished in last place.

I didn't care, of course. Not really. Those 15 minutes were fun. Exciting. Frustrating. And funny. Most of all, they were shared. One day the three of us will laugh about our shared experience, because Sorry is just like life.

We work hard to get into the safety zone and do our best to protect ourselves from pain and sorrow. We hang on to our possessions and our loved ones.

Until some unfortunate card pulls us out of safety and forces us to see the truth about life.

The truth that all the retirement plans and insurance policies in the world can't keep us from pain and loss. Tornadoes hit, illness strikes, wealth disappears, and dreams are crushed. Sorry cards are part of living.

The good news is that there is an eternal home where safety becomes reality. A place described in the book of Revelation:

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain.

Until that day comes we share, we bond, we laugh, we love, and we play with all our heart. Confident that, ultimately, the card we draw doesn't matter. Only that we keep moving forward. Even with an untimely backward 4.

WILLIAM BARNES - Using Hi Tech / Airborne Technology To Hunt Bigfoot - William has done many types of jobs in his life, but gold-mining has always been the one he enjoyed the most. He has always loved camping out in the wilderness near a creek or a river, where he could live high in peaceful solitude, surrounded by beauty. One night in the summer of 1997, William was camped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, when he watched a large creature wandering down the side of a canyon, then walked up to my tent at such close range, he could have touched it, and then walked on . For the next twelve years William became obsessed with researching, and thinking of a way to film this magnificent creature in it's own environment. As he began to read about other encounters, William was surprised to hear that he was not alone in this endeavour, and he has learned from the problems encountered by other researchers. He finally came up with the idea of using a 35 foot, custom-made remote-controlled, dual airship with an extremely quiet engine and the latest technology in thermal imaging. William has a partner, Jason Valenti, who is also a bigfoot researcher. - www.bigfoot24-7.com

DEENA BUDD - The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology - includes information, interviews, and stories about forty different cryptids seen in various places all over the world by credible eyewitnesses like policemen, rangers, and doctors. Readers will learn where and how to find flying humanoids, hairy humanoids, giants of all kinds including rabbits, bats and spiders, goblins, vampires, werewolves, demons, aliens and ghosts. In the third book of our Weiser Field Guides, BellaOnline paranormal editor, Deena West Budd, surveys the still-emerging field of cryptozoology--a term coined in the 1950s by a French zoologist named Bernard Heuvelmans--the study of "hidden" or "unknown" animals not recognized in standard zoology. From traditional cryptids like Big Foot, the Abominable Snowman and Nessie, to mythical cryptids like unicorns, vampires, dragons, and werewolves, to lesser-known cryptids like bunyips (waterhorses), Encantado (Dolphin Men of Brazil), thunderbirds, mothmen, and chupacabra, these creatures are very much alive, says Budd, even if beyond the realm of normal perception. - http://redwheelweiser.com

SEGMENT 4: 01 am - 02 am Eastern / 10 pm - 11 pm Pacific
FRANCES EMMA BARWOOD - Anonymous Operation UFO - Retired Phoenix Vice Mayor and Councilwoman. Frances Barwood was elected to Phoenix City Council in January 1992 and was re-elected to a second term January 1994. In January 1997 she was elected Vice-Mayor. Ufologists, Arizonians and eyewitnesses to the huge crafts that flew over the Arizona skies back in March of 1997 are all familiar with the name "Frances Emma Barwood." Her name is synonymous with the events; her solitary voice pierced the silence of the restrained politically correct and demanded answers! The airspace of her city and state was repeatedly violated by a huge unidentified crafts, (and smaller ones), which maneuvered through the skies without impedance; people wanted to know what it was-she was the one to ask! Frances Barwood did not duck & run; she did not pass the buck; she did not ignore the situation, nor make light of it (as other government officials would later do) - she did what she was elected to do, i.e., represent her constituents and the best interests of the city of Phoenix.
