Vietnam veterans return to battle for the D.O.V.E. FundWritten by Jordan Finney | | firstname.lastname@example.com
A chorus of 5- and 6-year-old children prepared to serenade their guests, stumbling through English lyrics and giggling at each other's singing voices. Today was a special day in Vietnam's Quang Tri Province, an area ravaged decades before during the Vietnam War. The kids knew from the plaque at the schoolhouse entrance that Americans had built their elementary school. And today the Americans were coming.
"On the wings of a dove / We will rise high above / All our differences, so far in the past / Through the eyes of the children / See the bridges we're building / Hope will find a way / Love will save the day, and peace will last …"
The Americans never knew what to expect on trips to Vietnam. But when their 18-person envoy stood outside the elementary school and heard the kids singing "Dove," they knew why they kept coming back.
Dan May said he wrote "Dove" from the perspective of a former U.S. soldier who returns to Vietnam with the intention of helping his former enemies and rebuilding the land he once helped destroy. He wrote it for a group of Vietnam War veterans who have dedicated their lives to helping the people of Vietnam through The D.O.V.E. Fund.
Founded in 2000, The D.O.V.E. Fund is a Toledo-based organization that aims "to provide humanitarian and development assistance to areas in Vietnam, to provide communication, education and cultural exchanges that reflect the best qualities of both cultures. To create an environment brightened by hope and sustained by peace," according to its mission statement.
"So many times after we go in and destroy a country, we forget about it," May said. "These Vietnam veterans have taken it upon themselves to mend the fences.
"That's what's great about this organization: It rises above the past and looks toward the future."
The D.O.V.E. Fund is comprised of mostly Vietnam War veterans who raise money to build schools, complete community projects and provide material items to impoverished areas in Vietnam.
After hearing children sing the "Dove" song during the group's January trip, D.O.V.E. members said they "are more inspired than ever" to share their story and spread some dove love.
The nonprofit organization relies 100 percent on volunteers with the exception of one employee in Vietnam, a liaison who coordinates the logistics of projects on the ground and communicates with The D.O.V.E. Fund on a daily basis.
During the past 14 years, The D.O.V.E. Fund has raised more than $2.5 million in donations, almost all of which has funded its various humanitarian projects. Its members pay for their own trips to Vietnam and help cover 95-100 percent of operational costs. Last year, this group of a couple dozen veterans and their families fundraised $200,000.
However, D.O.V.E. veterans said that The D.O.V.E. Fund has accomplished feats far beyond pumping investment capital into Vietnam: It has helped them mend the wounds of war with former enemies and regain meaningful lives by making peace with their past.
One school at a time
John Abbey came home in 1970 as a "closet veteran with an anti-war spirit" who participated in several major Washington, D.C., demonstrations and not much else.
Abbey's youth had been hardened by the realities of life as a soldier. He spent the next five years finishing his education and attempting to reintegrate into civilian life. As far as he was concerned, 18-year-old Abbey in a U.S. Army uniform had never existed. It was only begrudgingly that he revealed his past to the few people who ever asked about it. One weekend in 1975 shattered the charade.
"I was working at a private psychiatric hospital when a depressed woman with reoccurring issues was readmitted," Abbey said. "We had a policy that someone had to be with you every second of the day for the first 24 hours. She convinced the person with her to leave the room so she could go to the bathroom. Once alone, she hanged herself on the sprinkler with a nightgown."
That's when the nightmares started. The suicide reminded Abbey of how "some things happened overseas" and he couldn't cope.
Abbey spent the next two years seeing a psychiatrist twice a week in Boston, who eventually convinced him to fill out paperwork for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But the Veterans Administration turned Abbey's application down, saying that PTSD "didn't really exist."
"That's when I threw in the towel and went into even greater anger and denial," Abbey said.
"I disappeared for a year, traveling on my bike and living in the woods. I eventually rejoined society on a conditional basis and got hired at Ford Motor Co., where I worked for 30 years. But I wasn't OK. My first marriage didn't last — which had a lot to do with my inability to handle this whole thing — and I wasn't an honest person."
Everything changed again when Jim Taylor, a D.O.V.E. Fund member and then HR manager for Ford's former Maumee plant, walked through the door of Abbey's office in 2005.
"Are you a Vietnam veteran?" Taylor asked, pointing to a small poster of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Abbey's wall. The two men chatted briefly and Taylor convinced his new friend to confront the angry 18-year-old soldier at a D.O.V.E. meeting. At the time, Abbey said he didn't believe that the shadows of his past or the nightmares of his present could ever go away. Today, he's the first to admit he was mistaken.
"I never set out for redemption but that's what I've found with The D.O.V.E. Fund," Abbey said. "Reconciliation. Healing. Making a difference in a world that I had long given up on because I was consumed by tremendous survivor complex and guilt. As soon as I joined D.O.V.E.'s board of trustees, my life completely changed."
Since 2005, Abbey has returned to Vietnam with The D.O.V.E. Fund about 10 times, dedicating the majority of his efforts to funding school projects, helping leper colonies and administering scholarships.
The D.O.V.E. Fund collects donations and asks Bui Cam Nhung, its lone employee, to secure a local contract bid within its budget before D.O.V.E. leaders inspect and sign off on the project.
One of the largest school builders in Vietnam, The D.O.V.E. Fund has constructed about 50 schools, including a school for the blind in both Hue and Cam Lo. These two schools provide vocational training and advanced computer systems for visually-impaired students.
"We realize that we can't build enough schools. There's always a new one that's needed," Abbey said. "We meet with government officials every year and they tell us that lots of people come to Vietnam and some people donate lots more money than we do. But what's different about us is we come back and check every time."
The D.O.V.E. Fund also finances $100 high school and $250 college scholarships, which pay for a year of tuition in Vietnam. Last year, it gave away about 180 high school scholarships and 20 college scholarships. D.O.V.E. members said they hope to match those numbers this year.
"When I first joined The D.O.V.E. Fund my life was really, really bad. I couldn't escape reality anymore and these guys saved my life," Abbey said. "Happiness isn't the right word for this story, although I am happiest when I'm there. The Vietnamese have no evident animosity toward Americans even though we attacked them. When your enemy can forgive you, maybe it's time to forgive yourself. Forgiveness is the word I'd use. That's what I'm learning one trip at a time, one school at a time."
Microfinance and PET carts
Fred Grimm had been in Vietnam for a couple of months when the vehicle he was driving got sprayed with bullets. One round shattered the windshield. Another missed his torso to the left. One caught the dusty mirror inches above his head.
"I never shot at a Vietnamese soldier but I was ready to and I wanted to. I could feel myself changing," Grimm said. "Then one night we were attacked. My buddy and I caught a lot of shrapnel and I blew out my left eardrum."
It was a warm night in 1969 when Grimm, wounded after only four months of duty, left Vietnam on a U.S. medevac. Today, he has returned to the former battleground 15 times, amassing eight months of volunteer time.
"I've been back with The D.O.V.E. Fund every year since it was founded. That's eight months of helping, which about doubles the time I spent raising hell," Grimm said.
Grimm serves as the vice chairman of Vietnam projects and coordinates The D.O.V.E. Fund's ventures, including a new microfinance initiative that helps poor women who ask for a small loan to jump-start a business.
"For example, we met a young seamstress and lent her $150. We went back the next year, and her whole little hut was full of beautiful fabric worth $800," Grimm said. "She had another brand-new sewing machine at home, too. We were all impressed, and this is just one of many stories. We've had huge success with microlending to these women."
Another woman, who Grimm called the "queen of the market," developed a method of buying fresh food items in bulk that she would sell to street vendors in the morning on a loan. Others raise chickens or pigs, sell eggs or fruit, or become seamstresses.
In addition, Grimm said he was particularly proud of The D.O.V.E. Fund's recent partnership with PET (Personal Energy Transportation) International, an organization that makes special carts that allow disabled people to travel on rugged terrain. PET International provides the approximately $300 carts for free and D.O.V.E. members have paid to distribute more than 300 of them.
"We hope to send another shipment of these amazing PET carts this year because a wheelchair won't be of any real use to these people with lower limb loss. The Vietnamese people are so appreciative and that makes it all worthwhile," Grimm said. "I just want to thank all the people in the U.S. who have donated money and believed in what we're doing. I guarantee you that I make sure every dollar is spent wisely. In fact, I'd put our organization up against anybody's."
Leper colonies
He didn't want to be "that coward" who opted to go to jail and shame his country. So Tom Treece put on his camouflage and clenched his teeth for a war that he said "would never make sense."
"I was raised in a loving Christian family then got plucked out of life, trained on all the ways you can kill another human being, sent to the other side of the planet and handed a weapon to go do it," Treece said. "When it was over, there was no deprogramming except 'Thanks for your service, sir.' You hand in a uniform, get a free dinner and you're on a plane back to your hometown."
At 21 years old, Treece came home in 1969 without knowing what home meant anymore. His friends were watching movies at the theater. Some other guy was dating his girl. Life had carried on without him. And he didn't have much use for it, either.
"I felt like a worm on a hot tin; everything had changed, I didn't fit in anymore and I couldn't sit still," Treece said. "I was an angry young man who lost so many of my dear friends. And somewhere along the way, I lost myself."
From 1969-2000, Treece traveled around the United States, bouncing from job to job. He hitchhiked to Madison, Wisconsin, and lived on the streets for a couple years before forming a rock 'n' roll band. There was something therapeutic about rolling into a town, jamming out for a few hours and leaving again without ever having to confront himself in the mirror.
"I was screwed up and had so much hate in my heart," Treece said. "It had eaten me up and I could never figure out how to get rid of it. When I was recruited by The D.O.V.E. Fund in 2000 all that hate started to melt away. For the first time in a long time, I felt like my life had purpose."
After his first return trip to Vietnam in 2003, Treece wrote a three-and-a-half page article for Michigan's Monroe News. He said he was shocked when they printed the entire story, and "even more shocked" when the first $100 check arrived in the mail one week later.
In three months, Treece's article about his trip generated $50,000, including one $35,000 donation. That's when Treece decided to write "The Ghost Closet," an autobiographical account of his healing process "on the wings of D.O.V.E." All profits from the book have been donated to The D.O.V.E. Fund.
"To be able to go back to where I spent 13 months of my life and saw so much death — there's just nothing like it," Treece said. "I believe that we are called to be like the good Samaritan who couldn't walk by and see trouble without stopping to help."
To date, D.O.V.E. members have built water purification plants and latrines, installed solar lights for villages without reliable electricity and distributed hundreds of pairs of shoes. But "nothing tested the group more" than their recent work with leper colonies, Treece said.
Treece got an unusual call one day from a California woman named Linda Stocker who had found his dog tag in a Ho Chi Minh City jewelry store. The two became friends and Stocker's volunteer group, the Bandage Brigade, became a close partner with The D.O.V.E. Fund. The Bandage Brigade crochets bandages for Vietnamese lepers and since 2008, D.O.V.E. members have delivered 12,000 of these bandages.
"We've taken a special interest in people with leprosy who are unattended, stigmatized and isolated in rural villages," Treece said. "They wear their clothes until they fall off. Many can't remember what village they grew up in because they've been isolated for so long, grinding it out every day to survive."
The lepers are the outcasts of society, isolated in rural mountain or coastal villages away from most of the population. Many are missing arms and legs, infected by disease and covered with sores. But D.O.V.E. members say the lepers' disfigured faces always share one thing in common — they never seem to stop smiling.
Story in a story
As a 22-year-old soldier in the U.S. Army, Dan Gregg frequently traveled in an armored personnel carrier down a dirt road with a schoolhouse nearby. After his tank broke down one day, Gregg went inside the school.
"The kids came up instantly, thinking that I had all kinds of food," Gregg said. "I handed out some stuff from my C-ration kit … canned peaches or whatever. I made friends with some of them and made it a point to stop there once in a while."
After returning to the United States, Gregg saved several photos of the school in a photo album, hoping that he could "someday see it again."
He got his chance more than four decades later. In 2013, Gregg stood outside of the same school, now barely recognizable except for a familiar flagpole at the front entrance.
"I met with teachers to tell them my story and about how much this school meant to me," Gregg said. "Vietnam was really the most transformative period of my life. I saw it in a totally different way than I do now. Now I see the transformation of a country slowly coming out of war. I like to be part of the rebuilding process because I played a role in the destruction process. It's life-affirming."
Gregg, who said he feels inspired by civil rights activists like Mohandas Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, is currently writing a book about how he turned his negative experience as a soldier in Vietnam into a positive experience as a returning veteran. In addition, Gregg said he plans to include his perspective on coping with PTSD and what it's like to "reconnect with the young soldier that you were years ago."
"My PTSD didn't form until 2003 when we invaded Iraq," Gregg said. "I saw images of bombs on TV and planes exploding … and that brought back a lot of bad memories. Soon afterwards, I joined The D.O.V.E. Fund."
His book, "Return to Tay Ninh," describes the guilt of a soldier who remembers seeing Vietnamese civilians suffer — orphans crying for their fathers, a child's skin blackened by burns — and the overwhelming experience of reconciling with a former enemy.
"I never thought I'd get rid of those images. I still haven't but they don't debilitate me like they once did," Gregg said. "I'm struck by the amazing sense of forgiveness from people who have every reason to hate us. I cried a lot when I went over. I still do. But it's a good cry because it means my heart is opening up and being repaired. I'm not afraid of the tears and the feelings because I know it's healing me."
Embracing peace
The stories of Abbey, Grimm, Treece, Gregg and other D.O.V.E. members may not be unusual. But what they do with those stories sets them apart.
"We were young and far away from home / Cast into a world we'd never known / In a time, so surreal / Oh … now / There's a chance to go back and repair / Damage that was done when we were there / Pain we feel, scars we heal …"
D.O.V.E. veterans say that May's words "perfectly encapsulate" how their organization helps repair both the physical destruction in Vietnam and the emotional pain that many veterans continue to suffer from.
"We all shared the same experiences. We all went through the same things. Even though we didn't serve shoulder to shoulder, we all know the smell of gunpowder," Gregg said. "We've seen men put in body bags, dead people, arms separated from bodies. There's a certain understanding among us that this is why we do what we do. We love each other and we would do anything for each other."
The group has tentative plans to make its next venture overseas on New Year's Day 2015. In addition, a group of university students from Wisconsin and Minnesota will be traveling to Vietnam with medical supplies as volunteers at The D.O.V.E. Fund's Hai An Medical Clinic.
"The D.O.V.E. Fund has turned into one of the most important things in my life," Treece said. "First is my salvation. Second, my wife —the delight of my life. And three or four is without a doubt going back to Vietnam and shedding off that old skin of hate that I had from the war. This group has done more to win the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people than 15 years of war. No one cares about how much you know until they know how much you care — and believe me, we care a lot."

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
Music has power, doesn't it? The sound of something as familiar as your own skin can cut through the layers of years and transport you immediately back to the time and the place where you were when you wore the grooves out of the vinyl.
In my case that time (according to the label on this vintage 6 inch) was 1978; the place, my parents' dining room; the song, 'Never let her slip away' by Andrew Gold. I know you've never heard of him. Hell, who has? But that's not the point here.
He was my first. *sigh*. He popped my record shop cherry and cost me, like, pence. Jennifer Rush came and went, as did Boney M, The Commodores and Styx, but The Gold still holds a special place in my ageing heart.
Wanna hear what you were missing?
OK, so he had a face for radio, but what a song.
So, I want to hear from all of you. What was the very first record (or cd if you want to really rub my nose in it) you ever bought? When was it, where did you buy it and what do you feel when you listen to it today? Does it conjure up teen angst or the love of your life? Were you studying to it or being romanced by a spotty, groping youth?
Share your memories by joining our weekly Link-up (new theme each week) with your own blog post, or simply by chatting in the comments section. Everyone is welcome for a dose of sweet nostalgia!

Glass Covered Butter Dish 2 2
exact My mother too looked high and low in stores for this basic/classic butter dish to no avail. This one was exactly what she was looking for. My mother likes to keep her butter on the kitchen counter and one of her cats has developed a taste for it. Now she can keep her butter out. Also, she was happy that the dish came within two days. She was very pleased. May 3, 2012
YEAH!! It is so difficult to find a classic butter dish with a cover!! More of these please-maybe different colored glass?! July 10, 2011

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Orion Jacket:
This is my second Orion jacket from EMS. The first was the version from two years ago. The zipper started to pull apart from the fabric of the jacket, making the whole jacket useless. I returned it to EMS for store credit and purchased a new one for about what it would have cost to repair the zipper.
Five stars to the EMS warranty and the service of their staff. I could have had the zipper repaired for free, but they can not replace a waterproof zipper, so they would have replaced it with a non-waterproof one. The clerk who processed my exchange said that this is a problem with waterproof zippers - they break easily, especially at cold temperatures, and are impossible to rpeair. Which leads me to ask, why not just use a standard zipper with a velcro flap if the jacket is going to fail after two years.
EMS has made some improvements over the older model:
-Pockets are much bigger
-Fabric seems more waterproof and less absorbant
But the sizing seems to have changed:
-Sleeves are shorter, fine for standing but too short for extended arms (size XL, I'm 6'3")
-Overall length is shorter. I can tell because my EMS size XL fleece from two years ago hangs about an inch below the waist.
-Feels tighter when worn over a fleece
Bottom line - nice jacket for the price, but don't rely on previous years' sizing, and beware the waterproof zipper.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Orion Jacket:
This jacket had all the features I was looking for = the material, the pockets, pit zips, good looks, price. Alas, I returned it because the fit just wasn't right. I bought a large which is usually what I wear (6'4", 220), on line. Overall, it seemed to fit ok even with a insulating layer underneath. However, when I moved around, the jacket and sleeves rode up on me when I raised my arms and was tight across my back when I stretched forward. Articulated arms would have helped. I tried on the XL but all that did was add material in the wrong places. Very boxy. I think a little better tailoring and this would be an awesome jacket. Especially at this price.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Orion Jacket:
I'm very pleased with this jacket so far, and use/abuse it all the time during snowy, windy mountain climbs. The hood fits perfectly over my climbing helmet. The jacket doesn't take up much space in my backpack. The fabric is holding up well against ice, rocks, and trees. The zippers also seem to be holding up well. Easy to ventilate on the go if it gets too warm.
Medium size works well for me (6 ft, 170 lbs). I took the time to try it on at the store while wearing my base and insulating layers, so didn't get caught with any sizing surprises.
If some aspect of this jacket eventually fails, I will probably still get the same jacket as a replacement.

text: Hello, after building a few AK's, I have been tossing the idea of building a Fal around. How hard is it? Are the compliance parts hard to find? What about the quality of the kits. I have all of the tools needed to build an AK (jigs, 12 ton press, and such). Would I there be more tools I would have to buy for the FAL? Thanks, all info will be appreciated.

I know you must be tired of hearing all the talk about illnesses, but unfortunately it is THAT time of year, and a few more weeks of sick season is still ahead of us.
I am seeing plenty of coughs and colds and it is not only among the children in my office. Many parents who are bringing in their children are just as sick as their kids. They often ask me why they are getting sick. Most of these parents have small children typically between the ages of 1-3 years. The sickest of the parents seem to be those who have toddlers, especially when it is their first child.
Now, I love toddlers, but one thing they have in common is that they are like little petri dishes full of germs. I affectionately call them, "snotty nosed toddlers". Before I was a parent myself I swore that I would "never have a child with a green snotty nose". Well, after 3 children who had more snotty noses than I dare to count I now know that this too is a phase of life, that will pass. But before it passes that precious "snotty" toddler will manage to give their parents lots of germs.
Many parent tells me that they have already had 2 terrible colds, 1 mystery fever, and some vomiting and diarrhea, and their child is just 2! "How much longer will this go on", they ask? Or I hear, "this couldn't be normal, we all must have a problem with our immune system?" This is probably not an immune problem, it is just yet another perk of parenting. It actually means you are a good parent as you are spending time with that precious toddler, who is often coughing in your face as you play piggy back or tell them a bedtime story.
The only way to help prevent this plethora of viral illnesses is to practice good hand washing, begin to teach that toddler how to cover their mouth when they cough and know that this "normal". But even with that advice expect the first several years of parenting to involve illness for both child and parent.
Rule of thumb seems to be, once the last child in the family turns 3, the illness roller coaster will slow down! There will be other issues ahead but not as many colds.
That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow.

A collision that occurred in the early morning hours on Sunday, January 22, 2012 3.4 miles north of Antlers on HWY 271 claimed the life of Richard Williams, a 47 year old male from Antlers.
Williams was traveling northbound on HWY 271 on a 2008 Chevy, when he entered a right curve, the vehicle departed the roadway to the left and made impact with a culvert embankment, causing the vehicle to go airborne and overturn 1 full time before coming to rest.
The cause of the collision, and the condition of the driver at the time of the collision, are still under investigation at this time. Willams was transported to the Mills-Coffey Funeral Home in Antlers. Williams had fatal injuries to the head.
This collision was investigated by Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Joe Standridge, #928 of the McCurtain County Detachment and was assisted by the Pushmataha County Sheriff's Office and Antlers P.D.

PRESTONSBURG – Highlands Health System announces the introduction of a new digital phone system. Installed at Highlands' locations within the region, the new system, Mitel 5330, is the latest technology in internet protocol (IP) based telephones. Highlands made the choice to use this technology when faced with the growing needs of the existing system.
"We have expanded our facilities throughout the region" said Bud Warman, President & CEO of Highlands, "and our communications needs have expanded as well." Highlands, who operates clinics and medical offices in the four surrounding counties, has seen communications needs grow with its patient base. "Our patients and other customers want fast and easy access to information, and we need to deliver that," says Warman.
The new system provides callers with menu options that reduce call wait time. Additional internal extensions have been added to allow direct dialing to many departments in the hospitals, as well as patient rooms.
"Each patient will now have a unique phone number during their stay with us," said Maxanna Cook, Highlands Health System Director of Marketing & Public Relations. "Families and friends will be able to call directly to the bedside."
Highlands' phone extensions will now be displayed via caller ID on external lines, as well. This allows someone to know exactly who may have attempted to call them from any Highlands' facility.
The new phone system is a big efficiency booster inside the organization as well. Departments can reach each other in a number of new ways including mobile access. These new features can improve communication between caregivers, which leads to better patient care.
"One of the biggest safety factors in healthcare is adequate communication" Cook said. "Our goal is to keep improving safety and efficiency for our patients."
Highlands plans to have the system fully live on Tuesday, March 26. The main number to the hospital will remain (606) 886-8511. Highlands can also be reached from each of the surrounding counties without long distance charges: Johnson 789-6548, Magoffin 349-6100, Martin 298-7802, and Pike 437-6921.

Alumnus wins Nobel Prize in Economics
Alumnus Dale T. Mortensen was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Economics for his "analysis of markets with search frictions."
Mortensen shared the award with Christopher Pissarides, professor at the London School of Economics, and Peter Diamond, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Federal Reserve board nominee.
In an interview with Nobel Web, Mortensen described frictions as "deviation from so-called perfect markets, which is an ideal." In these perfect markets, participants have perfect information; one aspect of such information is knowing the price of a good or service.
Mortensen analyzed wages and unemployment. "Your alternative to making a deal is important," said Mortensen. "There's some wage you wouldn't accept because you'd rather go find another opportunity."
This "search friction" affects wages and the number of workers a business may hire.
Professor Per Krusell, member of the prize committee, noted the importance of the winners' work for policymakers and called it "the first full theory of unemployment and how it evolves over time."
After graduating with a bachelor's in economics from Willamette in 1961, Mortensen earned his doctorate from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1967. Although he has been on the faculty of Northwestern University since 1965, he has also held visiting appointments at the University of Essex, Hebrew University, New York University, California Institute of Technology, and Cornell University as well as visiting research appointments at Central Institute of Mathematics-Economics in Moscow, Russia, the Centre for Labor and Social Research in Aarhus, Denmark, and the Research School of Social Sciences, The Australian National University.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Oct. 8)-The New Mexico State women's tennis team concludes its fall season at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Mountain Regional Championships, Wednesday, Oct. 10 through Sunday, Oct. 14 in Las Vegas, Nev.
"The ITA Regional Tournament is what we work so hard for the entire fall season," head coach Ivan Fernandez said. "Really, all the other events we play in the fall are in preparation for this tournament."
The tournament includes players from 16 universities in the region. Last year, the Aggies finished ninth in the region.
"Senior Ginet Pinero and juniors Annemieke Witte and Ros-Polly Nguyen have been playing extremely well so far this fall," he said. "I look for them to play well again this week. Sophomore Denise van Der Ben played No. 2 singles last year, is increasing in confidence and I expect her to play this weekend as well.
"My other senior Jodie Williams is coming off a back injury from last year and is working her way back to playing shape with every match. The two freshmen, Mia Brandt and Lisa Roslanova, are getting their first taste of college tennis and are constantly improving with this level of competition."

Wednesday, January 22, 2014
My family doctor recently informed me that my cholesterol was a bit above the normal. I've never had an issue with that so I was nearly in denial: rather resorting to blaming the incompetence of the lab workers who obviously need to go back to blood-work school. After reluctantly accepting this negative diagnosis that may well affect this somewhat healthy (and somewhat sagging) body I resolved to cut down on my intake of certain "treats". Treats: One man's dessert is another man's death sentence, I'd say. I dislike milk, so ice cream seemed a perfect substitute, right? Nope. Ice cream is out. I like to think chocolate is a gift from the gods. Don't we all need a little chunk of that dark, creamy richness each and every day? Ok, a couple a week: that's the best I can do for now. During the week, I aim to eat as healthy as possible. You know the drill: Yogurt and dried or fresh fruit for breakfast, steamed soybeans or almonds for snack, rainbow on my dinner plate...But when the weekend rolls around it's time for a semi-splurge and breakfast is my target of opportunity. Lots of restaurants offer a plethora of unhealthy choices and one of my favorites is a national chain where I can order a dozen different fat-laden, sugar-coated items if I so choose. And I do. Not only do I munch down on bacon (soft - or I'll send it back) and eggs (with cheese please), I add on a waffle with extra butter (and hot syrup) and maybe even a side of hash browns (with onions, jalapenos and cheese). And lets not forget the details: A steaming cup of Joe with chocolate sauce and whipped topping (I bring my own...just in case). I later regret this egregious lapse in common sense (which remarkably resembles gluttony). And this past Saturday it took me till 3 p.m. to get over my latest gastronomical adventure. Usually I reserve enough common sense to ingest one gargantuan meal such as that but this time I went to far. I decided to experience Kimchi on the same day. Being a lover of foods from around the globe, I shared with an Asian friend my desire to try authentic Kimchi. To my surprise, a week later her husband dropped off a sample of their homemade version of the traditional Korean side dish made with white radish and Napa cabbage. That was so sweet and thoughtful of them! I've heard all the warnings about Kimchi such as don't open the container in the company of friends - unless they are willing participants in the feast; your body will permeate the unique fragrance for days after ingesting, etc. But being one to never turn down something new, I had to taste. It was great - until I swallowed. Fish sauce, which is a principal ingredient (Vietnam's signature condiment), tends to become, ah, more pronounced as you chew. Whew -weeeee!!!! I'm ok. The dish is fabulous. I'll just have to get used to the pungent, ocean-kissed perfume of lignified fish. I'm also grateful I didn't have to hang out with friends that evening. Now it's my turn. But what could equal such a byzantine delicacy? I'll return their thoughtful gesture with a libation equal only in its definition of health an antibiotic free, hormone free, package of homegrown venison. Unique, yes but I'm afraid it can't compete in the unique flavor category!

The Canon EOS 1200D, known as the Rebel T5 in the US, is available with an RRP of £349.99 body only, £399.99 with an EF-S 18-55mm DC III lens, and £449.99 with an EF-S 18-55mm IS II lens, with built in optical image stabilisation. The 1200D features an 18 megapixel APS-C sensor, as featured in the Canon EOS 700D and other Canon EOS cameras, upgrading the the 12 megapixel sensor in the 1100D, as well as the 1200D featuring a 3inch screen, which is an upgrade over the 2.7inch screen on the 1100D. The Canon EOS 1200D also features full HD video, updating the 720p video on the 1100D, and bringing the entry level Canon EOS camera in line with Nikon's entry level DSLR offerings, although doesn't catch up with the 4fps continuous shooting, external mic socket offered by the Nikon D3200, or the 11 point AF system, instead offering a relatively slow 3fps, and 9 point AF system. There are a number of creative shooting modes, as well as scene modes with simple to operate settings explained in plain english so that you don't necessarily have to understand aperture and shutter speed to change settings or create a blurred background, or create a brighter image for example. You can simply change an option on screen to change the settings and get the desired results.
Marking a new standard in high-resolution digital SLR photography, the Canon EOS 5DS camera shatters the status quo with a new 50.6 Megapixel, full-frame CMOS sensor. Perfect for commercial and fine art photography, or any other application that calls for extremely high-resolution, the EOS 5DS is the ultimate combination of EOS performance and ultra-high megapixel capture. It features an advanced, 61-point High Density Reticular AF system that includes 41 cross-type AF points and EOS iTR AF for precise AF in numerous situations. An anti-flicker function helps provide consistent exposure and color during continuous shooting under certain lighting conditions, while a built-in bulb timer and intervalometer expands creative opportunities without the need for an additional remote control. A refined mirror control mechanism reduces vibration and a Time Release Lag setting minimizes camera shake for sharp image capture when using mirror lock-up. New features like a crop function of 1.3x and 1.6x and a Custom Quick Control screen are complemented by advanced, multi-featured Full HD Movie capture, with Time Lapse Movie, and much more. With EOS performance and 50.6 Megapixel Capture, the EOS 5DS revolutionizes high-resolution photography!
The Canon EOS 5DS R is a 35mm full-frame digital SLR camera with a 50.6 megapixel sensor, the highest number of megapixels ever seen in a full frame sensor, and and a low-pass cancellation filter that maximises the sharpness of the camera's sensor (the only difference between the 5DS R and the slightly cheaper 5DS model). Key features include a 61-point auto focus system with 41 cross-type points, 150k pixel RGB+IR metering sensor with innovative flicker detection mode, dual DIGIC 6 processors, weather sealing, an expanded ISO range of 50-12,800, 100% viewfinder with electronic overlay, 3.2 inch Clear View II LCD screen, customizable Quick Control screen, three in-camera crop shooting modes (1.3x, 1.6x and 1:1), dual CF and SD memory card slots, Mirror Vibration Control System, built-in intervalometer and bulb timer, new Fine Detail picture style, Full HD 1080p video recording at 30fps, and continuous shooting at 5 frames per second.
Creativity. Everyday.
Small, simple to use and offering exceptional image quality. The FUJIFILM X-T10 turns any trip, whether in everyday life or to the other side of the world, into the ultimate photo opportunity.
Shooting Style
The design of the compact and lightweight body bears all the hallmarks of an X Series camera. Both top and base plates are made of a lightweight, but highly rigid, die-cast magnesium. The top plate features three precision-milled aluminum dials which give the FUJIFILM X-T10 a premium feel and allow users to intuitively adjust the combination of aperture, shutter speed and shooting functions while concentrating on picture taking.
New AF system captures the subject perfectly
The FUJIFILM X-T10 uses the new AF system. It offers the conventional 49-point Single Point mode for high speed and precision, as well as new Zone and Wide/Tracking modes that track subject movement across a larger 77-point area, substantially improving the camera's ability to capture moving subjects.
Film Simulation
With 80 years of expertise in film development, Fujifilm is passionate about color, and the result can be clearly seen in the FUJIFILM X-T10's evolved Film Simulation settings. Allowing you to create brilliant images without the need for lengthy post-production, users can switch between beautiful styles just as easily as choosing a roll of film. The expanded range of modes now includes CLASSIC CHROME, which was developed to meet the demands of Fujifilm X-Photographers worldwide.
Real-Time Viewfinder
With a magnification of 0.62x** and a display lag time of just 0.005sec***, the FUJIFILM X-T10 has the large and fast viewfinder. It offers a clear, high-definition live view thanks to the new 2.36M-dot organic EL electronic viewfinder, plus visibility has been improved by automatically controlling finder brightness according to the ambient light levels.
The LUMIX DMC-GX7 combines the Digital Live MOS Sensor and Venus Engine to achieve a new level of clear, smooth image quality. Featuring a stylish, high-class body with metallic appeal, the DMC-GX7 expands the joy of photography with a tiltable LVF, image stabilizer and Wi-Fi function.
The PowerShot G3 X camera's 1.0-inch sensor achieves a beautiful balance between high sensitivity and high image quality. The sensor is able to collect more light in a shorter time period without the overflow that causes blown-out highlights. This means better detail and sophisticated tonal quality, with rich gradations even at high ISO speeds all the way to 12800. A high signal-to-noise ratio delivers minimal noise and distortion with breathtaking dynamic range, particularly notable in bright areas. And photography enthusiasts will appreciate the changes in image processing for the PowerShot G3 X, which include target exposure value and contrast characteristics of highlights. Thanks to this change, dynamic range in bright areas is expanded with gradation attributes that are similar to EOS. Also, by changing the exposure index standard, it is possible to shoot at almost the same brightness with the same aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings as EOS. The PowerShot G3 X natively captures images in the 3:2 aspect ratio, which is the same as Canon EOS SLR cameras. The camera's image creation technology was designed with post processing in mind, and features an Aspect Ratio function, enabling RAW image capture in 16:9, 3:2, 4:3 and 1:1 aspect ratios while maintaining the same angle of view.
Introducing the new Sony A7R II, containing the world's first back-illuminated 35mm full-frame image sensor delivery 42.4MP resolution. Combining a Fast Hybrid AF system, 5-axis image stabilisation and 4K movie recording with full pixel read out, it delivers unparalleled quality and control. Your shots of action can look clearer than ever, thanks to our new full-frame image sensor that assures wide-area coverage with 399 focal plane phase-detection AF points.
The 5-axis image stabilisation system has been fine tuned for the A7RII's high resolution image sensor. It accurately compensates for five types of camera shake that can compromise handheld shooting. The grip has been refined in the A7R II in shape and height to support a more secure grasp of the camera even when a large lens is mounted. The shutter button has been reshaped and shifted forward to enable more natural shooting with less camera shake.
Sony's acclaimed high-zooming RX10 II camera contains a remarkable advance in photo and movie possibilities — the world's first memory-attached 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor. Use it to create stunning 4K movies, up to 40x super slow motion, spectacular still images, and more. A new world of super-real photography emerges. Zoom in.
Travel Light, Shoot Big. Beautifully versatile and exceptionally advanced, Canon's all new EOS M3 mirrorless camera combines an impressive array of features that encourage budding photographers to develop their craft and cultivate their skills. Delivering DSLR-like performance within a compact system camera, the EOS M3 utilises Canon's superb 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, DIG!C 6 processor and advanced high-speed AF to create stunningly sharp images, even in low light. Compact and lightweight, the camera is both easy to handle and comfortable to use, featuring improved grip, intuitive controls and a touch panel LCD that work together to let you concentrate on shooting. Perfect for photographers who want to get more out of their compact, the EOS M3 features expanded manual control as well as convenient compatibility with EOS and EF accessories. Want to share the images and movies you create? Wi-Fi and NFC compatibility make sharing a breeze.
The NX500 Mirrorless Digital Camera takes a 28.2-megapixel backside-illuminated APS-C CMOS sensor and pairs it with the DRIMe V Image Signal Processor to creative high resolution images with low noise at sensitivities up to ISO 51200 with 4K video at up to 24 fps or UHD at up to 30 fps with HEVC (H.265). High-speed shooting at up to 9 fps is possible as well and the NX500 uses the NX Autofocus System III with 205 phase-detect points of which 153 are cross-type for fast, accurate focusing. Composing and viewing images and video is greatly benefited by the inclusion of a 3.0" 1036k-dot AMOLED touchscreen monitor on the rear of the camera, this screen can be tilted up to 180° for shooting at a wide variety of angles. Additionally, it comes with the ED-SEF8A Flash and has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC and Bluetooth options.

Monday, March 3, 2014
Williamsburg County School District continued to celebrate its recent Race to the Top grant award by hosting an event at Kingstree Middle School. The district was part of four districts called the Carolina Consortium for Enterprise Learning (CCEL) to receive the grant totaling nearly $25 million. The CCEL is comprised of Williamsburg County, Clarendon County 2, Richland 2, and Orangeburg Consolidated 5.
Over 200 districts across the country applied for the grant. Williamsburg County School District will receive 51 percent of the grant monies. The funds do not feed directly to schools; rather it will provide for professional development, technology and instructional resources.
The February 25, event included an in-depth look into the grant process as well as several guest speakers. Clarendon School District 2 Superintendent John Tindal was among those. Clarendon School District is the consortium's lead district. Tindal shared his excitement with guests and praised all of the school districts within the consortium for their hard work. "We all worked together diligently and we've earned this award that almost any school district in South Carolina or the United States of America would be proud to have," said Tindal. "Only five (grants) in the United States of America were awarded. And this consortium of four districts was one of those five awards made by the US Department of Education. That is something to be proud of."
Tindal went on to emphasize the importance of the grant and how it is needed now more than ever. "I know it's going to make a difference for our children because tomorrow won't wait for them. We have to get them ready," said Tindal. Other speakers included Williamsburg Technical College President Dr. Patti Lee and Kenneth Barnes, representing the Office of Congressman James Clyburn. Clyburn's office played a part in the process but Barnes said it was the writers of the grant who should be applauded. "We did play a little part in it but the big part was them," said Barnes. "They wrote the grant. They made it happen." Barnes echoed Tindal's comments, saying the children will benefit the most. "Finally the rural areas have gotten an opportunity to do something for their children that has not been done in a long time."
In his closing remarks, Williamsburg County School District Board of Trustee Member Linwood Cooper recalled the night before where he heard the same presentation for the first time. "Last evening at the board meeting they presented this to us," said Cooper. "You did a great job and you cleared up some misunderstanding and clarity in all areas. We know what we need to do to stay on top." Cooper said he came to the board committed to the success of our future leaders and with this grant they have the means to accomplish that goal. "I'm committed to see that this works," said Cooper. "And those individuals who are in the position to seek out and find the means and the vehicles to make us the best county in the United States, I'm on your team." Afterward, guests were treated to heavy hors d'oeuvres and live music provided by the Kingstree Senior High School Jazz Ensemble.

I also added some chia seeds & cinnamon to mine to make a more adult version. The smell wafting from the oven is amazing. I am so hoping that these work out for my very food sensitive daughter.Print this post

The Aiken Standard's Talkback section has contained quite a few references to President Obama's trip to Africa. Most are critical of the projected cost of $60 to $100 million. I don't know if these cost projections are accurate since they sound like something that Michele Bachmann would disseminate. Consider the source when quoting these projections.
As for the trip, it requires considerably more logistical support to travel to the continent of Africa due to the lack of extensive infrastructure to support a trip for an American president. Fuel for the aircrafts has to be flown in, as an example. When the president travels internationally, he flies aboard Air Force One and another aircraft that is a virtual duplicate of Air Force One accompanies him. This is a back up just in case something goes wrong with Air Force One. This set up is not unique to Obama. Previous presidents traveled with a back up, also.
I expect that most of the critical comments about Obama's trip are coming from people who don't care about the people of Africa. From a purely diplomatic point of view, it is just as critical for the countries in Africa to be provided support as for any other country.
One of Obama's initiatives is to expand access to electricity to sub-Saharan African countries. The initiative will encompass six or seven countries, and then be expanded to other countries. This is a government/private sector venture.
If you grew up in the South and other rural areas of our country during the early to mid-20th century, then you can appreciate how the expansion of electricity to those areas changed the lives of many people. The same results will happen in Africa.

Track & Field Reunion/Don Strametz Retirement Celebration Photo Gallery
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. - Nearly 250 student-athletes, colleagues, family and friends gathered Saturday evening at the Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills for a Cal State Northridge Track & Field Reunion but more importantly to pay tribute to legendary head coach Don Strametz.
Strametz, who retired after 31 seasons at the helm of the Matador women's program and 26 with the Matador men, was feted by former athletes Darcy Arreola Lange, Lilyana Morejon and Andri Hargrove, former Fresno State head coach Red Estes, former CSUN women's coach Dr. Barbara Swerkes and family members Nancy James-Klinger and wife Carolyn Strametz.
The Voice of the Matadors and alum Bill Courtland emceed the event which also included a tribute by newly-named Track & field head coach Avery Anderson, an Athletic Department gift from Athletic Director Rick Mazzuto and a Professor Emeritus proclamation by University President Dr. Jolene Koester presented by Vice President for Administration & Finance Tom McCarron.
Arreola Lange, Northridge's first NCAA Champion in the 1,500 meters in 1991, was the first to honor Strametz and she spoke of how Strametz pushed her to become a better runner over the course of her career.
"Looking around the room, it's obvious how many lives he has touched and influenced in such a positive way," said Arreola Lange during her speech. "For me, Coach Stram wasn't just a coach, he was a surrogate parent, a mentor, a tutor, a counselor and most importantly a friend. I truly believe he was the reason for my success in college."
Morejon, the 2009 Big West Champion in the 10,000 meters was next and credited Strametz with transforming her from a miler to a 10,000 meter distance runner.
"I had a rude awakening from Stram saying I was going to become a great 10k runner," said Morejon. "At first I thought he was crazy, 25 laps around the track, no way. But little did I know that running 25 laps around the track was going to be the greatest thing that's happened to me as a runner."
Estes, the legendary Fresno State coach and fellow hunting enthusiast, recounted his teams' battles with Strametz on the track as well as several misadventures while duck hunting with his former colleague. Swerkes touched on her experience as the CSUN women's coach prior to Strametz and commented on Strametz's committment to his student-athletes performance in the classroom as well as on the track.
James-Klinger, Strametz's stepdaughter and former Matador middle distance runner, and Strametz's wife Carolyn also recounted some personal stories about the coach's career which set the stage for the legendary coach to take the stage.
Strametz, a 29-time Coach of the Year honoree who was notched 22 conference championships, opened by paying tribute to his athletes saying all his coaching awards were always about his athletes and not about him. Strametz then took the audience on a 40+ year journey from his days at Locke High School to his most recent Big West Women's Championship in 2011.
The evening wrapped up with several of Strametz's former athletes and colleagues paying tribute to the retiring coach via video message.

While the eyes of the world are beginning to focus on London for the 2012 Olympic Games, my attention is diverted north toward the Lake District of England. This is where you'll find the Damson Dene Hotel, a 40-bedroom retreat that has made the bold decision to replace the Gideon Bible in each room with the smash hit "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E. L. James.
On his blog Innkeeper Jonathan Denby explained the decision noting the world is a more secular place, no one reads the bible (some even dislike that it's in their room), and that "Fifty Shades of Grey" is something everyone seems to want to read at the moment.
Cultural phenomena come at us all the time and businesses of all stripes and colors regularly find a way to attach themselves to them. For example, you can go to any number of delicatessens and order a Philadelphia-themed Rocky Balboa hoagie. The question is knowing when this is a right move for your business and in what fashion.
Since my website, Hitched, focuses on married life, it's been impossible to avoid discussions of "Fifty Shades of Grey." I personally think the Damson Dene Hotel made a clever move…I know my website's readers would want to visit that hotel now.
In fact, our sex expert, Dr. Trina Read, was getting so many questions regarding "Fifty Shades of Grey" and the subject matter within it, that we dedicated an entire podcast episode to it a few weeks back. This cultural phenomenon aligns very well with my audience and I'm sure there are many other examples that will align well with your business too. Here are five things to consider when thinking of running in step with culture:
What are you trying to get out of it? You should have an understanding for why you want to align yourself with a cultural sensation.
Does this align with your business? While some things might seem too big to pass up, you need to make sure that the association isn't damaging to your business and brand, or turn off your customers and clientele.
What does this say about your business? By ditching the bible and replacing it with a book that is being devoured by adult women everywhere, it definitely says something about the clientele the Damson Dene Hotel is going after (or already has).
Are you prepared for a backlash? When something becomes a cultural phenomenon it's because a large group of people carry deep passions for it. If your business takes the wrong step, you need to be prepared to hear about it and react.
Are you prepared for success? On his blog, Denby mentions how he spent much of the day speaking with the press. Of course most businesses would kill to have the "problem" of a media exposure onslaught. Still, businesses should prepare for the time, money and manpower that may go along with success.
Embracing the public's interest in "Fifty Shades of Grey" may not be for your business. And while the Damson Dene Hotel looks to fill their rooms by switching out one book for another, finding the right cultural touchstone for your business could drive attention and fill your coffers. To that I say, "Amen!"

Anybody know how to contact Bert Bauman? Is he still alive? The last I knew he was with New Day Fellowship in St. Paul, MN, if memory serves me. I knew him and met with a church group he was Pastor of prior to New Day. I would love to have a good catch up conversation with him. I wonder what all he wrote over the years...
Thank you rodger, I'm grateful for the ton of UR information you supply to us here.
Hi Rodger,I never read King James nor was brought up in a church thast used it. My parents were unsaved and I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood. It frankly is another language to me. I have no idea what the poem above said except I'm guessing it's in favor of UR. Can you tell me please? By the way, the language thing was a helpful drive for me to investigate deeper when I heard of people that were "King James only" or burn in hell. Poor germans, russians, swedes, spanish, portugese, etc. And tough luck for average american kids like me that never heard King James except on TV when a religious nut case was portrayed.
Bet it was on His left shoulder, just over His heart :o)
FROM A SERMON ON UNIVERSALISM Stopford A. Brooke"That Christ should have descended to assume the nature of all men, only to cast them away as refuse to be burned, does so contradict His revelation that it is no wonder that the idea of everlasting damnation should have destroyed men's belief.
No, the earthly dead will move on, a mighty stream to mingle in the ocean of the righteousness of God, on that far off but certain day when God will be All in all."
