The earthy flavor of the buckwheat is delicious with roasted beets and goat's cheese. Buckwheat is an ideal grain for vegetarian dishes such as this, as it is rich in protein, B vitamins, calcium and phosphorus. The cheese and hazelnuts
also add extra protein.
Preparation time: 20 minutes (+ cooling)
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Serves 4
10–12 (about 1–1 1/2 lb in total) baby beets, trimmed
1 cup raw buckwheat groats
1/2 cup hazelnuts, lightly toasted and skinned
4 oz (about 3 cups) baby arugula leaves
3 tablespoons snipped chives
4 oz soft goat's cheese (see tips), crumbled
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Put the beets in a large roasting pan, cover the pan with foil and roast for 40–45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a skewer. Set aside to cool slightly, then peel (see tips) and cut into wedges.
2 Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the buckwheat and cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes or until fragrant. Put the toasted buckwheat and 2 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10–12 minutes or until just tender (be careful not to overcook).
Rinse under cold running water, then drain well.
3 Coarsely chop the hazelnuts and place in a large bowl. Add the beets, cooked buckwheat, arugula and chives and stir to combine.
4 To make the dressing, whisk the olive oil, orange juice and balsamic in a small bowl until combined. Add to the salad and toss well. Sprinkle with the goat's cheese and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Wear gloves while peeling the beets to prevent your hands becoming stained by the juices.
You could substitute a creamy feta cheese.

Stoops: WVU, Big 12 a Good Fit
DALLAS - Count Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops among those pleased with the additions of West Virginia and TCU to the Big 12 Conference. The highly successful Sooner coach believes the two programs will help keep the league among college football's elite.
"I think it's fair to say our league, when you add West Virginia and TCU, two teams coming off bowl wins, two ranked teams, you put them with the rest of what we've been doing here in the 12, that our league is every bit as strong as it's ever been – or stronger," Stoops said Monday morning.
West Virginia was predicted to finish second behind Oklahoma in the Big 12 preseason media poll announced last week. Also, Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith edged out Oklahoma's Landry Jones for preseason offensive player of the year honors. It is obvious that everyone in the Big 12 was paying attention to West Virginia's performance against Clemson in the 2012 Orange Bowl.
"The team finished the year in a great way with a huge win," Stoops said. "Geno Smith, an excellent quarterback, not only throws he can run it. They have a high-powered offense and an excellent football team."
Overall, Stoops believes West Virginia and TCU will make the league much more difficult to navigate through on a yearly basis.
"It's made the league really difficult, but at the same time, it's exciting," he said. "And I know geographically it's a little bit different [traveling to Morgantown] but I think that's OK, too. Why not expand your boundaries a little bit? In today's world, the way you cover media, you could probably cover anybody. The same thing traveling anymore, it's pretty reasonable no matter where you go, so I think it's a positive."
Two Big 12 coaches here in Dallas today – Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville and Iowa State's Paul Rhoads – have first-hand experience coaching against West Virginia in Morgantown. Tuberville was Miami's defensive coordinator when the Hurricanes lost to the Mountaineers 17-14 in Morgantown in 1993, and Rhoads spent a number of years coaching against West Virginia while he was Pitt's defensive coordinator.
Tuberville said West Virginia's fans can be rowdy at times, while Rhoads has great respect for what the Mountaineer program has been able to accomplish through the years under coaches Don Nehlen, Rich Rodriguez, Bill Stewart and now Dana Holgorsen.
"They'll come in and compete immediately," Rhoads predicted. "I would expect them to come in and compete for a conference championship – they're that level of program and always have been.
"They have a high quality of player; they've got great coaching and they've got an offense that will compete in the league," he said. "And they've got a defensive coordinator who thoroughly knows this league, and I would expect big things out of West Virginia in 2012 and beyond."
- The Big 12's top football coach will now be named the Chuck Neinas Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year Award in recognition of Neinas' tremendous contributions to the league during its time of great peril.
Neinas was noticeably surprised when the announcement was made Monday morning by Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby.
"You know, I always thought I was the best coach, so I probably deserve this," Neinas said to laughter. "But I'll tell you what, this is an honor which I will cherish. It's a complete surprise. I've had great support throughout my tenure with the Big 12, the staff has been superb, and we couldn't have done it without a lot of hard work by good people."
Neinas also believes the Big 12 is in great hands with Bowlsby as the conference's commissioner.
"My wife reminded me that last fall when she said who do you think could be the commissioner of the Big 12 conference? I gave her two names. One was Bob Bowlsby." Neinas said. "People are cooperating now and they're moving forward. And as I've often said, if the Big 12 is a stock, you would get a buy order from me."

Hornets Beat #13 Lee University
September 13, 2008
An inspired Southern Poly Hornets took the field to take on Conference rivals, Lee University. Lee University came into the game with a 2-1-1 record and more importantly with a #13th national ranking. The Hornets would be looking to bounce back after a dismal last thirty minutes in their previous match against Shorter College.
The game started with the Hornets sitting back and only allowing Lee a couple 20 yards plus shots, but nothing more than half chances. Southern Poly's Mamadou "Futty" Danso would be looking sharp when he came on and had a few good chances. The game would take a big turn however on the 36th minute when great pressure from the Hornets midfield, allowed Danso to receive the ball and play a superb ball through to freshman Sean Grisham. From here the youngster was nothing but sensational. He drove at the Lee defender and with some good skill beating his man and showed great strength and composure to beat the Haitian GK to put the Hornets a goal to the good.
Minutes after the restart the Hornets nearly made it two! A great ball from Senior James Grant found an open Chris Szalwinski in the 6 yard box and his free header would miss by inches. Danso would also miss a great opportunity to score minutes before half time, but his header in the 6 yard box would hit the side netting from a great ball from Felipe Lopez.
Southern Poly would come out the second half to one of their best performances in their short history, if not the best. After just 8 minutes they would score a "beauty". Sean Grisham would pick up the ball and attack the Lee defense only to be brought down 30 yards out. A quick free kick from Captain Jeff Paffenback played in James Grant, who would serve the ball in, to find Danso sprinting 20 yards to smack the ball home from 12 yards out to put the Hornets 2-0.
The Hornets would not be finished though. They would defend well and create more great chances. Manny Elomobor would cause problems for the Lee defense and after beating the keeper to the ball, found Sean Grisham free in the box and the freshman midfielder would be unlucky not to score his second. From the resulting corner, Freshman Diego Nicholson would show some great control and find James Grant just outside the box. Grant would take a couple nice touches before effortlessly curved the ball into the top corner to put the game out of reach.
Southern Poly would add a fourth when Elomobor would take the ball into the corner and turn two Lee defenders before slipping the ball to Grisham, who would score the Hornets fourth of the day and his second. "It was a brilliant performance from front to back. We defended very well and took our chances. This was our 21st game in our still new program and for once things just went our way. We could not take our chances mid week against Shorter which resulted in a loss, and we had over 30 shots the previous week and only put away two. Today, we finally took our chances and some individuals had some special games. Grisham was instrumental in the midfield, Grant was brilliant both defending and going forward. Danso was also extremely important as always both going forward and defending. We needed something from the boys after a dismal midweek loss and the boys showed nothing but character and a lot of heart today", said an ecstatic Coach Momeni.
The Hornets will be hosting Covenant College Scots this upcoming Wednesday at 5pm.

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 20, 2005 Army recruiters are taking a pause today to refocus on values, as investigations are under way to see if some recruiters are cheating to make quotas.
"We're going to have a values stand-down day to take a look at who we are as an institution and what we represent," Maj. Gen. Michael D. Rochelle, the Army's senior recruiting officer, told reporters today at the Pentagon.
Rochelle noted that seven cases involving alleged recruiter improprieties at different locations across the country are now being investigated.
One widely reported case involves a recruiter in Houston who allegedly threatened a potential recruit with arrest if he didn't show up for a meeting. And some recruiters in Colorado have been accused of offering advice on how to pass drug tests and falsify documents. Citing his potential role in adjudicating the cases under investigation, the general didn't talk about any case specifically.
Recruiters shouldn't be taking improper "shortcuts" to bolster their numbers, Rochelle noted. This type of behavior, he asserted, is "simply not acceptable."
The current recruiting environment is challenging the Army's 7,500 recruiters, Rochelle acknowledged, noting his service is now about 6,600 active-duty recruits below quota as recent data shows the propensity of young people to join the Army continues to fall.
Sustained land combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, combined with a low unemployment rate, are driving "the most challenging conditions we have seen in recruiting" since the all-volunteer Army began in 1973, Rochelle noted.
But cheating isn't the answer, the two-star general emphasized, noting that's one of the messages being delivered during today's stand-down.
Rochelle said all recruiters today are required to watch an unscripted videotaped message from him as part of today's stand-down. Secondly, he said, commissioned officers and noncommissioned officers with U.S. Army Recruiting Command will reaffirm their oaths to the Army.
Recruiters will also discuss why personal integrity, values and ethics are important and necessary in their work, Rochelle said.
The American public "can rest assured - rest absolutely assured - that we hold every single recruiter to the highest level of adherence to those values," he said.

Mars Rover Finds Intriguing New Evidence of WaterQuicklink submitted by Kyle McDermott Permalink

The first drilling site for the Mars rover Curiosity.
(image by Image courtesy MSSS/Caltech/NASA) DMCA
|The first drill sample ever collected on Mars will come from a rockbed shot through with unexpected veins of what appears to be the mineral gypsum. Delighted members of the Curiosity science team announced Tuesday that the rover was now in a virtual "candy store" of scientific targets--the lowest point of Gale crater, called Yellowknife Bay, is filled with many different materials that could have been created only in the presence of water. Project scientist John Grotzinger said during a press conference that the drill area has turned out "to be jackpot unit. Every place we drive exposes fractures and vein fills." Curiosity scientists have already concluded that a briskly moving river or stream once flowed near the Gale landing site. Now the mission can look forward to the surprises to come at the mountain base while already having struck gold.

Six charts to explain health-care polling
By Scott Clement,
Pollsters have asked Americans hundreds of questions about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in recent years. You can boil down all of that data into six charts — and we do just that below. Enjoy!
1. Law never gained majority support
Fewer than half of Americans have supported the law in every major poll since its passage. A significant portion of this opposition comes from those who say the law did not go far enough in changing the U.S. health-care system. Looked at another way, the law has been tarred and feathered from the left and the right.<img src="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/oimg?key=0AnXV1oFtPmr7dGoyYjNxWlhHLTg2RHRVSzRtV2Y5OVE&oid=1&zx=238wwo8iyncr" />
2. Partisanship reigned from day one
Less than a month after the ACA was signed into law, Republicans and Democrats took sharply opposing positions on the law. The partisan divide has shrunk slightly since then, but the basic storyline remains the same: Democrats like the law, Republicans despise it and independents tilt against it.
Kaiser Family Foundation tracking polls
3. Individual mandate is a clunker, the rest of law is popular
Despite its lagging overall ratings, support for most components of the law do achieve majority support. At least six in 10 support requiring insurance companies to provide coverage to people with preexisting conditions, expand Medicaid and close the Medicare "doughnut hole," according to an April Kaiser Family Foundation poll. The individual mandate – a centerpiece of constitutional challenges to the law that the Supreme Court decides on today – is a complete clunker. Just 30 percent of Americans had a favorable view of requiring people to have health insurance by 2014 or else pay a fine.
4. Knowledge lacking, rumors persist
The Affordable Care Act is a complicated piece of legislation, but as the Kaiser Family Foundation's Drew Altman pointed out last summer, most people agree it will help people who are currently uninsured. But Kaiser's polling finds only three in 10 uninsured Americans ages 18 to 64 think it will help their situation.
"Death panel" rumors have also stuck, however. More than one in three Americans in a March KFF poll said (incorrectly) that the law will empower a government panel to "make decisions about end-of-life care for people on Medicare." In addition, 52 percent think the law creates a new government-run insurance plan. The so called public option, of course, was scuttled before the final bill was passed.
Kaiser Family Foundation poll, August 2011
5. Most people won't be happy
Fewer than half of Americans will be pleased no matter whether the Supreme Court validates the law, throws out the highly unpopular individual mandate or rejects the entire law, according to a June Pew poll.
The high court's ability to lead is also in question: Just 40 percent of the public in an April Post-ABC poll said they expect the Court to rule on the basis of the law while 50 percent thought they would rely on partisan political views. The Court's favorability ratings also hit a quarter-century low this year, according to Pew.
6. Health care is clearly a second tier voting issue in 2012
Health care will be the focus of today's news, but it's unlikely to be the top issue for voters in November. A 52 percent majority of Americans volunteered "the economy" or "jobs" as the single most important issue in their vote this year in a May Washington Post-ABC News poll. Health care came in second, but at just 7 percent. Health care will matter in 2012, but not nearly as much as the economy.

My husband said this tasted just like Starbucks (used all chocolate syrup and no white chocolate). Thanks!

This is one of my favorite coffee recipes. I like to add 1 tablespoon of unflavored fiber. You can't taste it and you have a delicious mocha that is healthy! Thanks for the great recipe.
Yummy! I added slightly less milk and skipped the whipped cream just because I had ran out. More of a chocolate drink than a coffee drink. Awesome.
I thought this tasted okay. I had lite chocolate syrup so I used that. I did not have white chocoate syrup, but I had bakers real white chocolate and used 1/2 square of that. I had not thought to combine the two flavors in one drink, so that was pretty interesting. The downside was it seemed like quite a bit of milk, just from looking at the recipe, compared to coffee. Although, it tasted fine, the end result made it taste to me more like mixed chocolate hot flavored milk than a coffee drink.

Re: CAD PRO or Digital Referance?
I used to have the CAD... dont really recommend them. I ended up going with a pair of Oktava MK012s, Audix D6 & an SM57.
Do you really need 7? You can prolly substitute a pair Karma K10s for the Oktava & that'll be under $350... I think.
Re: CAD PRO or Digital Referance?
Price wise it would bother me paying less than $30 USD per microphone. I would believe that there would have to be many short cuts in quality materials in the manufacturing of these microphones. There are good comments about these mics, but they're probably from first time microphone owners that never compared these to other higher quality mics. If your budget is really limited and quality doesn't matter as much as turning acoustical energy into electrical energy, this may be the package for you, I don't know.
Re: CAD PRO or Digital Referance?
I have the digital reference, I've had them for about a year now, they are holding up really well, sound great. The build quality is really impressive, they are metal housings, and the mounts are audio technica. I haven't had any problems with them. Honestly There isn't a lot of difference between these mics and an sm-57. if you take them apart the capsules look identical, and more importantly they sound just like an sm-57. They have a bass roll-off on the snare/tom mics and they don't go as high as the 57 but I swear I can't hear the difference.
I haven't had any problems with the clips, and I've probably played 150 shows this year, and I have diecast hoops which are bigger than regular hoops.
The only thing I don't really like is the bass drum mic, if you take the grill off it is basically the same mic as the snare/tom mics, it just has a lower response. but it gets the job done for live sound, and with some eq/compression you can get a really good sound. Down the road you can upgrade the kick mic and then use the digital reference for the floor tom.
Re: CAD PRO or Digital Referance?
Re: CAD PRO or Digital Referance?
Most gigging situations for me have my drum sound going through a PA. Many of the subtleties of the differences between mics are so much harder to notice. Most of the time an SM57 and an i5 sound the same. Same goes with a D112 and a D6 (or for that matter, my $30 Cad Kick mic) but whatever..
.. I think it's a good way to go to have an inexpensive sub quality set of mics that get the job done. Over time, I try to acquire better mics. If you've ever suffered mic damage, like the "beer cup in the kick mic dance from your singer", then you know it's cool to leave the sweet gear at the studio.
Even though I just spouted off about my rinky dink CAD mic pack, I think the Audix 7 mic pack is the best deal at $299. They're modeled after their Audix pro mic cousins like the i5 and D4 and D6, so you'll get pretty good results right away.
If you get more into it, later you can pick some used SM57s and a Beta or some cool overheads. There is a lot to be said for not getting too thrifty with mic choices. I have two MXL90 ¾in. Hyper Cardiod Condensors that were $100 each. They do the job but they're a little bright and they're nowhere as rich and warm as a $400 SM81. Live, it's not a big deal but in the studio you can tell they're ordinary.
There are so many ways to do it.
Lately, I've been content with just mic'ing my kick and snare and one pencil mic overhead. If my hats seem hard to hear or swallowed up by the room at a sound check, then I just take up one more space on the board with a pencil on my hats. So it's either three or at the most four mics.
In my practice room or at some rehearsals or shows, it's cool to mic everything up but most of the time it'll cost you an extra 30 to 45 minutes to get your sound right. Phase issues suck.
Get a mic pack that has two condensers so you can get a feel for the 1 vs 2 overhead issues and whether you like the sound of mic'ing your hats for the style you play in.
Let us know how you really plan to use them and then you can decide whether you should go with entry level or hold out for a smaller but pro-level set of mics.
You also mentioned in your OP that "8 would be great" and you've got $350 to spend. If you do the Audix pack you still have enough left over to get an MXL91 pencil for your hats. Then you have a condenser for your hats and a two overhead option.
I hope this helps.
Philippe - Eat, Sleep and Drum.. .. it makes for a good weekend.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 11, 2005 When a DoD installation closes, the department doesn't just pull chocks and fly off.
DoD's Office of Economic Adjustment works with communities to help them through the base closing process and help them transform.
The motto of the office is "Helping Communities Help Themselves," and the men and women of the office take that very seriously, said office director Patrick O'Brien. O'Brien has worked his way up the ranks in the office since the first base realignment and closure process began in 1989.
"We're a field activity under the secretary of defense," he said during an interview. "Our mission is to work with communities affected by defense program changes."
The public thinks of base closures, but the office also helps communities gaining military assets, bases affected by elimination of weapons systems and bases being encroached on by civilian activities.
The organization has been around since the early 1960s. "When a base closes, often it is a significant economic engine in the community," O'Brien said. "We work with the communities to develop their capacities and capabilities."
The office is the conduit for defense money and expertise to the affected communities, but it also serves as the bridge for other federal agencies, he said.
A number of federal agencies play in the closure and realignment process. These include Cabinet members like the Department of Labor, which helps communities with retraining efforts, and the Department of Commerce, which helps communities attract long-term economic development and investment.
But there are other helpers too. The Department of the Interior is often involved in transferring land. The Federal Aviation Administration is involved in helping communities as they seek to reuse air bases. Even the Department of Housing and Urban Development helps communities as they address issues of the homeless.
The office helps communities also as they work with the military services. "BRAC does not work if the community and the military services are not working closely together regardless of growth or downsizing," O'Brien said.
The office has learned from past BRAC rounds conducted in 1988, 1991, 1993 and 1995. Communities said the first thing they need is for OEA members to get to the communities as soon as they can after the defense secretary announces the base realignment and closure recommendations. "Basically, when the recommendations are released by the secretary and the communities are ready to receive us, we're ready to go," O'Brien said.
The communities also told the office that representatives need to be realistic. "Communities said people told them that BRAC is an easy process to work through: It is anything but," he said. "Communities view (the Office of Economic Adjustment) as an honest broker in the process," and they count on the office to deliver a realistic appraisal of what lies ahead for affected communities.
Finally, the communities said they needed more support in looking at the environmental situations at the bases.
The most important thing O'Brien said he learned over the past four BRAC rounds is that communities span the range of capabilities. "Some communities have little capacity and require a lot of assistance, and other communities are very sophisticated and they are looking for a different menu of support," he said. The office, working with the military departments, must tailor approaches to the communities. There is no "one-size fits all" in the BRAC process, O'Brien noted.

Volkswagen Beetle GSR limited edition pricing announced (US)
Limited worldwide to 3,500 units
Volkswagen USA has revealed pricing details for the limited-run Beetle GSR.
The car was showcased earlier this year at 2013 Chicago Auto Show and now it's on order at a starting price of 29,995 USD with the six-speed manual gearbox or 31,095 USD once you choose the dual-clutch, six-speed DSG. Regardless of transmission choice, the Beetle GSR is equipped with a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged TSI engine delivering 210 bhp (156 kW) and 207 lb-ft (280 Nm) of torque. It will do 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 6.6 seconds and an electronically-governed top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h).
Sitting on 19-inch Tornado alloys shod in 235/40 tires, the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle GSR limited edition has been fitted with R-Line front/rear bumpers, Fender sound system, panoramic sunroof, keyless access with push-start button, along with bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights. Other goodies include heated front seats, alloy-looking pedals, three-color ambient lightning and Bluetooth connectivity.
This special edition will be limited to 3,500 units, but Volkswagen didn't specify how many of them will reach stateside.
You can find out more by accessing the press release section.
• Pricing starts at $29,995 for GSR® with manual transmission and $31,095 with the DSG® automatic
• Classic 1970s Beetle serves as inspiration for the GSR model
• Limited edition of just 3500 worldwide
• Leather-trimmed sport seats and unique GSR trim mark out the interior
Just 3500 of these striking yellow-and-black GSR models will be built globally. Taking its cue from the GSR ("Yellow Black Racer") of the 1970s, the new car also has a yellow-and-black color scheme: the body and R-Line® bumpers are finished predominantly in yellow; the hood is mainly black; and the trunklid, roof, and the exterior mirror caps are black. The car has yellow/black stripes with "GSR" lettering above the side skirts and a large rear spoiler to complete the look. The GSR rides on 19-inch "Tornado" aluminum-alloy wheels shod with 235/40 tires and also features black-painted brake calipers.
The GSR has a unique interior with a yellow/black theme, sport seats, and a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel. The black-trimmed leather seating surfaces and high-grip leather-wrapped steering wheel have contrasting yellow stitching. Other interior changes include an R-Line dash pad, a GSR shift lever, a leather-wrapped handbrake lever, and black floormats with contrasting yellow embroidery. A badge on the steering wheel is marked with the special-edition number (1 through 3500) to emphasize the uniqueness of the car.
The new GSR model's EA888 turbocharged and direct-injection 2.0-liter TSI® engine makes 210 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque, enabling the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds and to reach an electronically governed top track speed of 130 mph. Most impressively, the engine delivers peak torque from as low as 1700 rpm, giving smooth, effortless acceleration in all the gears. The GSR comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, but a dual-clutch DSG six-speed automatic transmission is optional.
Since the GSR is based on the R-Line with Sunroof and Sound with Navigation model, it comes comprehensively equipped with the Fender® Premium Audio System; a panoramic sunroof; the RNS 315® navigation system; Keyless access with push-button start; Bi-Xenon headlights with LED DRLs; LED license-plate lighting; heatable front seats; Bluetooth® connectivity; a Media Device Interface (MDI) with iPod® cable; three-color ambient lighting; aluminum-alloy-look pedals; and three auxiliary instruments that include a clock with a stopwatch function and a boost gauge.

Friday, July 5, 2013
Habitat for Humanity Georgetown County has announced the beginning date for its Youth United build will be Saturday, July 13.
The public is invited to take part in the site dedication and build at 2015 Church Street, Georgetown, across from the Georgetown County School Districts Beck Administration Building. Construction will take place on Saturdays, as well as some Wednesdays and Fridays.
Annette Perreault, executive director of the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate, said she is excited about this build, which is the first of its kind in South Carolina.
Generous corporate and individual donors have provided funding to build this home, as well as the proceeds from the 2013 Pawleys Pavilion Reunion, Perreault said.
Please come out and join us on July 13 for a brief site dedication ceremony at 8 a.m. with construction work immediately following.
She added that no experience is necessary and Habitat for Humanity will provide tools and instructions for using them.
Insurance laws require that everyone on the job site be 16 years or older when power tools are being used, Perreault said. We will be having other activities for young people under 16 years as construction progresses through the various phases.
Youth United is a Habitat for Humanity initiative for young people from 5 to 25 years of age. The goals for the program are to help young people develop awareness of poverty housing and to learn leadership skills.
The home is for the Brown family, Lori Brown, her daughters, Tyniqua and Raqua, granddaughter, Zoraya Boyd, and niece Keisha.
A group of 15 students is serving as the steering committee for the Youth United build through Habitat for Humanity Georgetown County.
Ophelia Snow, the youth coordinator and advisor for the Youth United program, said the students from Georgetown middle and high schools, Carvers Bay middle and high schools and Waccamaw and Andrews high schools will make decisions about raising money, applying for grants, building the house and recruiting volunteers.
Their goal is to build a Youth United house each year.
Snow said they have developed a slogan which is: Youth lending hands; so that others may simply live.
Invite your school, church, or organization to participate in eliminating sub-standard houses and to build decent homes to serve families in our communities, Snow said.
For more information about Youth United and to get involved, contact Ophelia Snow at 843-546-5685 ext. 9, or visit www.habitatgeorgetown.com.
Women build
The Habitat for Humanity Women Build home is also under construction at 615 Johns Street between Hawkins and Bourne streets, by the International Paper Mill.
The public can park on Kaminski Street, across from GKCU, and access the construction site. Organizers have planned a Tuesday, Thursday construction schedule from 8 to 11:30 a.m. for the Women Build. This home is for the Bonds family.

Solona Beach Surf Spot

Tamarack Surf Spot
The Surf
Crowd and Culture
The Reef:
Tamarack has a mostly sand
bottom with the occasional rock here and there. Like most of
the breaks throughout Carlsbad, the beach is all sand and
great for a day at the beach. Under the main peak at
Tamarack, there are a few big rocks that create the great
shape of these waves but be sure to take caution on the low
tides as they can get pretty close to the surface.
On big days at Tamarack
make sure to watch out for rip tides pulling South toward
the jetties. It can be pretty dangerous on big days because
as all the water is moving in, it has no where to go and can
create a lot of havoc in the inside section.
Tide: Medium to High tides are best for Terramar but
Low tides can lead to some fast walls and fun sections.
Swell Directing: A Northwest or West swell can do
wonders at Tamarack but during the Summer South swells, it
can get really fun and rampy.
Winds: No wind is best but if any, a East wind will do
Size: Anywhere from 2 - 8 feet. Make sure to watch out
as Tamarack gets larger because it can get very chaotic on
the inside with off the water being trapped and moving
Months to Catch it Going Off: September through April
are best best but the Summer months can also provide some
fun waves.
The surf at Tamarack can
vary greatly on swell direction and conditions. However,
there is a main peak and an inside section like most breaks
around San Diego. the main peak is almost straight in front
of the parking lot and breaks in an A Frame shape with both
a right and a left breaking at the same time.
As the wave moves from the
outside into the inside section, the wave speeds up
dramatically and turns into a wall of fun! Make sure to be
ready for a ride because as the contour of the ocean floor
becomes shallower, the waves at Tamarack stand up and start
moving! On a Low to Medium tide, I have seen this inside
section stand up and pitch over and create some awesome
barrels for surfer's in the water.
Tamarack is a beautiful
beach with some awesome waves and I highly recommend
checking this spot out.

Men's Basketball Prepares For First BIG EAST Road Test In Chicago
Musketeers Play DePaul On Saturday Afternoon
Musketeers Knock off Florida Gulf Coast, 71-57, After Grabbing Early Lead
Mack moves into tie for third place on Xavier all-time wins list
2006-07 Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout Photos
Photos by Greg Rust
Sean Miller, who has completed four seasons as the Xavier head coach, agreed in the off-season to an extended contract with Xavier University that will run through the 2017-18 season. The 39-year-old Miller, who had a six-year contract when he was hired on July 8, 2004, received his third contract extension and the longest ever given to a Xavier University head coach. The new deal announced in April is a 10-year agreement beginning in the 2008-09 season and running through the 2017-18 season.
Xavier University President Michael J. Graham, S.J., said Miller and XU share a common vision. "There is a tremendous amount of excitement surrounding our basketball program and its future," Graham said. "It's clear that Sean Miller shares our passion to compete to be the best on a national level, while also running the program the right way. Sean's vision complements the University's mission and what makes this institution special."
"This agreement represents an unprecedented commitment by Xavier University to head coach Sean Miller," said Xavier University Associate Vice President and Athletic Director Mike Bobinski. "It reflects our strong belief in Sean's leadership of our basketball program and further solidifies our mutual desire to achieve success at the highest level of Division I basketball."
"This commitment reinforces my own beliefs and excitement about our future together," said Miller. "With great anticipation, I look forward to continuing to build our program and the challenges that accompany doing so."
Miller has raised his career record to 93-39 (.705) in four years at the helm, including 30-7 this past season and a trip to the NCAA Tournament "Elite Eight." The 30 wins broke the school record of 28 set in the 1989-90 season. Miller was named the 2007-08 Atlantic 10 Conference Coach of the Year after leading Xavier to a 14-2 record and a second straight A-10 regular season title. The National Association of Basketball Coaches named Miller as its 2008 NABC District 10 Coach of the Year. He was a finalist for numerous National Coach of the Year awards.
Miller, the 16th head coach in Xavier history, has won 93 games and stands in fifth place for wins in school history. He is alone in first place all-time in XU history for most wins in the first four seasons as head coach.
Miller, who secured his third straight 20-win season, made his third straight NCAA Tournament appearance. Miller has won back-to-back Atlantic 10 Conference Regular Season Championships (2007 and 2008) and an A-10 Tournament Championship (2006).
"Sean Miller has done a phenomenal job at Xavier," said Dick Vitale, one of the many members of the national media that are singing his praises. Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News said Miller has taken Xavier's program to another level. "What has happened with the program under Sean far exceeded anything I would have imagined," DeCourcy noted. "It's not because the Musketeers made the Elite Eight. Obviously, XU had done that recently. It's how relevant Xavier has become -- how seriously elite recruits view the program...it's easy to be a fan of Sean. I can't think of anyone in the profession who is more honest and more loyal. Sean is as good a person as there is in college basketball." There seems to be a consensus among the top national media. "Miller is one of the rising stars in the profession," said ESPN's Andy Katz. ESPN analyst and former Duke player Jay Bilas put it simply that "Sean is the kind of coach I would love to play for."
Xavier holds the second-best record in March in NCAA Division I since the 2001-02 season, which was Miller's first season on the Xavier campus, the first of his three seasons as Xavier's first-ever associate head coach. 2008 NCAA Champion Kansas (47-10 for .825) is first, Xavier (35-12 for .745) is second and 2008 NCAA Runner-up Memphis (43-15 for .741) is third on the list.
Xavier finished 25-9 overall in the 2006-07 season in Miller's third year as the Xavier University head coach. Xavier won the 2007 Atlantic 10 Conference Regular Season Championship and advanced to the second round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament. Miller finished 21-11 in the 2005-06 season, winning the 2006 Atlantic 10 Championship and earning a berth into the NCAA Tournament.
Miller took over as head coach in 2004. Miller, who replaced Thad Matta, was Matta's right hand man the previous three seasons as XU's first-ever associate head coach. Miller helped XU record three straight 26-win seasons and three straight NCAA Tournament appearances that culminated in the 2004 "Elite Eight" run.
Miller came to Xavier after coaching stops at North Carolina State, Pittsburgh, Miami (Ohio) and Wisconsin. Miller has now coached on 13 teams that have advanced to postseason play in his first 16 seasons as a head coach, an assistant or an associate head coach. That now includes six NCAA Tournaments in his first seven years at Xavier.

- Designer: Matthew Carter
- Design foundry: Carter and Cone
- Source: Monotype
Matthew Carter has been refining his design for Alisal for so long, he says, that when he was asked to complete the design for the Monotype Library, it was almost as if he were doing a historical revival of his own typeface. The illusion even extended to changes in his work process: although he now does all his preliminary and final drawing on screen, the first trial renderings of Alisal were done as pencil renderings.
Alisal HistoryOpen
Alisal is best classified as an Italian old style design. Originally created between the late 15th and mid-16th centuries in northern Italy, the true Italian old styles were some of the first roman types. They tend to be the most calligraphic of serifed faces, with the axis of their curved strokes inclined to the left, as if drawn with a flat-tipped pen or brush. These designs offer sturdy, free-flowing and heavily bracketed serifs, short descenders, and a modest contrast in stroke weight.
Alisal has nearly all the classic Italian old style character traits, plus a few quirks of its own. It is calligraphic in nature, with more of a pen-drawn quality than faces like Palatino or Goudy Old Style. It is more rough-hewn than either Goudy's Kennerley or Benton's Cloister, and is generally heavier in weight than most of the other Italian old style designs. One place where Alisal makes a clean break with traditional old style designs is in the serifs. While sturdy and clearly reflecting pen-drawn strokes, Alisal's serifs have no bracketing and appear to be straight strokes crossing the main vertical.
Alisal UsageOpen
Like Caslon or Trajanus, Alisal is a handsome design when viewed as a block of copy. Ascenders are tall and elegant, and serve as a counterpoint to the robust strength of the rest of the design. Alisal is available as a small family of roman and bold with a complementary italic for the basic roman weight, providing all that is needed for the majority of text typography.

after reading this recipe 5 years ago, I suggested to our chamber of commerce director we do this for our food booth at the annual Senior Pro Rodeo only make it as a filling for breakfast burritos. Our booth is there only for the participants. We have to have the coffee hot and donuts fresh at 7:30 in the morning, because they are getting ready to go through their trials for the nights line-up. I found this and tweaked it for 50 servings, substituted cooked, ground sausage for ham, nixed the bell pepper, bought flour tortillas,salsa and extra shredded cheese. We cook this overnight at home, bring the crockpot to the food booth and assemble to make breakfast burritos. We take a tortilla, a decent serving of the omelet, an extra sprinkle of cheese, wrap up individually in foil, and lay them in another crockpot that has a damp towel at the bottom. the damp towel keeps everything steamy hot. as they are bought, they put their own salsa on. We made them in 25 serving batches.(Two smaller crockpots) word spread quickly we had something better than donuts. we have sold out every year after the 1st year (once they found out) we also found the second morning (after the first nights show, afterwards they went into town for the dance and drank alot) we sold out faster on the second morning than the first morning. so we didn't make as much the first morning, and had more for the second morning. it is not labor intensive, and we 3 volunteers get together the night before the rodeo
I adjusted recipe to 4 servings and after 9 hours woke up to a very burned and hard breakfast. My wife came to the rescue and made us an omelet and it tasted great.
Makes a good boat anchor or paper weight.

Love the versatility of this recipe! Have made this recipe several times at the request of my co-workers. I have tweaked it each time depending on what type of group I was serving. Have used browned italian sausage (mild to spicy), pre-cubed ham and even bacon. For ease, frozen chopped onions/green peppers and for color, yellow/red peppers. Used shredded mexi-cheese for a spicier taste or four-cheese blends for a mild one. In the eggs, I added dry mixed italian seasonings, chopped garlic and a dash of dijon mustard. Cooked just fine at about 11 hours on low. For sides, I have served it with hot sauce, fresh salsa or pico de gallo, sour cream and more shredded cheese so people could season it more if they liked. Haven't had a complaint on it yet :)
The first time I made this exactly according to the recipe and took it to a meeting. It was well liked but had quite a bit leftover. I'm not a big fan of ham so this time I made it with sage sausage and red bell pepper instead of green. I also added 1/4 tsp of ground mustard and used a fresh potato instead of frozen. Since the starch turns brown, had to rinse it. I should have rolled it in a paper towel to absorb the extra moisture. That was the only issue I ran into using a fresh potato - the extra moisture. I took it to my meeting and it disappeared.
The first time I made this recipe just as written and have made this a number of times with some changes. So you don't end up with dry eggs; the type of crock pot is very important to the cooking time. Your narrow, tall cylinder time will take longer to cook then a large oval crock pot by 1 to 2 hours difference. I love this recipe because you can make some changes to your family or guests tastes. Place all the ingredients in your crock pot the night before retiring for the evening and your breakfast is ready in the morning. These are some of the ingredients I have used: Purchased frozen hash browns with onion, green and red peppers. Try using 2 pounds cooked, crumbled, well drained, sausage instead of ham. We prefer 1 # original and 1 # hot sausage for that extra zing. I use pepper but fine sausage or ham have enough salt for our family. Try using your families favorite salt free seasonings for a different taste. Mixed in the egg mixture. Also try different cheese blends. I prefer using half and half instead of milk and increasing by an additional 1/2 cup. Using skim, 2%, whole milk, half and half or cream will alter the taste. Experiment, you might be surprised of the difference in taste and texture. If you use a purchased liner for your crock pot before adding the ingredients; clean up is a breeze. I would give this recipe a 10 star rating if I could.
This recipe was good but definately needed some tweaking. I did not put hash browns or ham in. I browned a pound of sausage, added the onions, green peppers, eggs and milk and put them all int the slow cooker. In the morning when it was done, I sprinkled the cheese on top. We loved it.
I read some of the reviews on this and modified the following: changed ham to half a pound, browned up half pound of sausage and added it. Changed the cheese from cheddar to the Mexican blend. To the eggs I added Italian seasoning and garlic powder. I got some great feedback from everyone eating the breakfast! Will make again!
Loved the variation with hash browns - hadn't tried that before. Omitted the onions and peppers due to finicky children and included ham, sausage and bacon. Took to a school class breakfast and it was gone in no time and had several ask for recipe! I made 1 1/2 recipes and it filled the the 5 qt crock pot.

Newton's First Law
In class, you saw several examples of how objects at rest tend to stay at rest. For example the dishes on a tablecloth will not move when a sudden force is exerted on the table cloth, although they will move with a gradual force.
We saw the same thing with a large inertia ball hanging from a string. A sudden jerk will break the bottom string. The ball's own inertia resists the change in motion. But a gradual pull will break the top string, as the top string experiences tension due to your pull PLUS the weight of the ball.
Your courageous physics teacher was not hurt when the sledge hammer smashed the cinderblock. The inertia of the cinderblock kept it stationary.
The other concept of Newton's 1st Law of Motion is that objects in motion tend to maintain their motion unless a force is exerted on them. Beaker gave us a nice demonstration of why you should where a seat belt.
But less intuitive is what happens when you throw a tennis ball up in the air on an airplane or a train. The marble cart gave a nice demonstration of this gedanken or thought experiment. The movie Frames of Reference also shows what happens when we throw a ball in the air on a constantly moving car. It still lands in our hands.
We saw that a scale itself does not measure mass, but force. A balance actually compares the affects of gravity on similar masses. One way of making a force meter or scale was by using a spring. We could use an electronic scale.
We performed a brief experiment where we measured the force of gravity on a one kilogram mass. This force was 9.8 Newtons. This gives rise to the equation
where w is weight or the force of gravity, m is the mass in kilograms, and g is what we call the acceleration due to gravity or 9.8 m/s2. We will discuss the meaning of the term "acceleration" in this context in a few days.
We should note that in Imperial units where the mass is measured in slugs, and the force in pounds, the g will be 32 ft/s2.
At this point, we need to point out that mass is universal. No matter where you are in the universe, the mass and inertia will remain the same. However, the weight will change. g = 9.8 m/s2 (an average) only on the planet Earth, at sea level. On other planets the weight will be different. On the moon, the weight of an object is 1/6 of what it would be on the Earth. On Mars, it will be 40% of the Earth's gravity. In fact, on a high mountain the strength of gravity actually decreases slightly.
In your physics class, we will will use the kilogram (kg) as the unit for mass. There are several different units for mass. The gram itself is also a common unit. In the Imperial system, the slug is the official unit of mass. However, the pound (lb) is commonly used interchangeably as a definition of both weight and mass. Although this only works as long as we are Earthbound at sea level.
2.2 pounds is the weight of 1 kilogram
9.8 Newtons is the weight of 1 kilogram
w = Fg = m·g gEarth = 9.8 m/s2 = 32 ft/s2
gmoon = 1.625 m/s2
gMars =3.728 m/s2
1 atomic mass unit = 1 amu= 1.67 x 10-27 kg
Returning to our definition of g = acceleration due to gravity term. This means, that if an object were in free fall, it would accelerate towards the Earth at 9.8 m/s/s. Free fall means there is no air resistance or other force.
Take a dictionary with a mass of 3 kilograms. The mass of this book in grams will be 3000 g. The weight of the book in Newtons
w=m·g = 29.4 Newtons
We will save an in depth discussion of how to balance units for next week. The weight of the book in pounds will be 6.6 pounds. On the moon, the mass of this book will still be 3 kg. On the moon, its weight however will be 1.1 pounds or 4.9 Newtons.
Net Force, Statics, and Equilibrium
Of course, when we measure the weight of an object on a scale, it is NOT in free fall.
That is because gravity is not the only force on the object.
In the example of a spring scale, gravity is pulling the object down, but tension in the spring or string is pulling the object up! Since the object is stationary or STATIC, the NET FORCE must be equal to zero. An object that is static is said to be in EQUILIBRIUM.
If the NET FORCE were not zero, the object would be accelerating up or down, and would NOT be STATIC.
As we continue this discussion of STATICS and forces, we do not have to limit ourselves to gravity. For instance, suppose there are two hamsters pushing on a flask. If the Ninja Hamster is pushing with 200 N to the left, and the Science Hamster is pushing with 200N to the Right, then the Net Force is zero, and the flask is static. However, using his special powers, the Ninja Hamster now pushes with 300 N. The NET Force is no longer zero. The NET Force is now 100N to the right. The Flask will now accelerate. It is no longer in Equilibrium.
Let us return to the gravity examples. Now if I were holding my object up with two strings, the scale would not measure the full weight of the object. Each spring scale would only measure half of the weight. In this case, the NET FORCE still equals zero.
Let us do an example with STATICS. If we had some window washers on the Prudential Center. Mike has a weight of 700 Newtons. Ryan has a weight of 600 Newtons. The platform they are sitting on has a weight of 2000 Newtons. What is the tension in each string holding them up?
First we calculate the total force downwards. 2000N + 800N + 600N = 3400 N. Since they are static, there must be 3400N upwards. As we have two ropes, each rope must support half the weight. So the tension in each rope is 1700N.
In the case of a book resting on a table, gravity is pulling the book down. However, a natural restoring force, known as the NORMAL force, pushes the book back up. The word NORMAL means perpendicular to a surface. For instance, in geometry, in a circle, a radius is always normal to the edge of the circle. The NORMAL force is only as strong as the gravity pushing down on it. If the situation is static, the NET FORCE is zero. If the table could not supply enough NORMAL force the table would collapse and gravity would win out. If the NORMAL force were greater, then the object would fly back up into the air. A simple sketch like this is called a FREE BODY DIAGRAM.
It is important to reemphasize that the NORMAL force is always perpendicular to the surface. It is NOT always pointed up. For instance, if I were to try pushing the book through a wall, it does not easily pass through the wall. I am pushing the book to the right. The wall is exerting a normal force to the left. The Free Body Diagram looks like this.
Even on an inclined plane, the Normal force is still perpendicular to the surface. Why doesn't the hamster slide down the ramp? Friction prevents the hamster from sliding down the ramp. Friction is a force which is always paralallel the the surface. If we draw the forces on this hamster, gravity is always down. Friction is parallel to the ramp, and the normal force is perpendicular. Even through these forece are not collinear, they will still cancel out. This is called vector addition. We need some trigonometry to solve this problem. The Free Body Diagram looks like this.
Another example of this is if we have strings. Returning to our sign painters.
When we have two vertical strings, then tension in each string is exactly half the weight. However, as the strings are stretched to angles, that tension increases. That is because the strings are not only supporting the weight of the object. They are also pulling against each other. So the spring scales actually measure a greater tension.
Pulleys can be used in several ways. They can change the direction of the tension force. They can also distribute the tension in one string among several strings. It should be noted that in physics, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Although you might not have to pull with as much force to lift a heavy weight, you need to pull twice as much rope to attain a certain height.

CD Sales
A question here that I've had for a while that is sort of bugging me. Allow me to show my ignorance in the matter.
I've noticed several big name acts state publically that they don't make any money off of CD sales, or make very little, if any. Neal Peart of Rush stated something like that recently in the latest Guitar Center flyer. A few other big acts have said that lately, although I can't seem to remember which ones.
Is it because of the Internet and iTunes, Rhapsody, CD Baby, and the like, or is it something else? I'm aware the record companies and everyone else involved in the production and distribution get their cut, but is it really that bad that a world-wide act like Rush doesn't see a dime, or very little? Or am I completely off the mark here?
And now it seems these big bands make their money touring. Back when I was growing up in the 70's and early 80's, bands made their money on record and CD sales and toured to promote the album; the tours not making much revenue by themselves.
I don't aim to be the best, just the best looking.

Great product. Calms my boy down very quickly and helps him settle when he's unsettled due to teething. Very easy for him to take in the tablet form.
Soft and small tablets makes for easy feeding
Posted by Zuleika83 on May 10, 2012
Tablets are tiny and very soft so it melts upon contact with tongue. No way I could get it under my daughter's tongue as it's too much hassle. She loves it and opens her mouth when she sees the bottle.
Much easier to feed than liquid.

"It changed my life. After 60 years of being afraid of God, I was finally introduced to the true God of infinite love, who is bound neither by time nor death; the Savior of the whole world."Dr. Terry Schwartz Prof., Wheaton College
"Have you been tormented by the thought of dying? Do you know the anguish of thinking that you or a loved one might suffer in hell forever? You are not alone. As I read Hope Beyond Hell, I cried for joy. It assures us of a Love that never gives up on us no matter how miserably we fail."Charles Slagle –Evangelist
"Gerry Beauchemin backs up his hope, not with fancy theories, but by numerous Scriptures and quotes from Bible scholars. Everyone needs to read and study this book."Richard W. Rundell, Ph.D.
"One of the best books ever written showing from Scripture that God's judgments are remedial, corrective, and temporary."Dr. Stephen Jones, M.Div., D.D., Author, speaker
"With great spiritual discernment and a heart attuned to the transforming love of God, Gerry Beauchemin has written a book that will, if you permit it, inspire love, peace, joy, and hope – all the fruit of the Spirit – in your own heart."Thomas Talbott, Professor Emeritus, Willamette University, OR
"I first learned, espoused, and taught the truths presented in this book over 40 years ago. Hope Beyond Hell encapsulates them better than any I have read."Bill Boylan, Ph.D., Author, Speaker, SD
"Excellent book. Many who attend the churches of our day would do well to read Hope Beyond Hell and to study and think for themselves."Bob Evely, M.Div., Asbury Theological Seminary, KY
"Hope Beyond Hell answers the questions we have been afraid to ask about God's unfailing love and inexhaustible patience."Pastor Ivan A. Rogers, Former Bible College President
"As an instructor in Church History, Hope Beyond Hell is one of the most balanced studies available on the remedial judgments of God and the great truth of the restoration of all things in Christ. The author has done it in a logical, common sense way the average layman can understand. This is a book about the love of God."Rev. Terry Miller, M. Phil, Former Pres., Bethesda Mennonite Inst. of the Bible, Former member of the House of Rep, SD
"A bold, impassioned plea for Christians of every stripe to consider the grand proposition that God's goodness, grace and love reaches farther than most of us have ever dared to imagine. Gerry's comprehensive research of the biblical record and extra-biblical sources is powerfully, even overwhelmingly compelling. All who read this book with a spiritual mind and listen with spiritual ears will receive a deepened revelation of Christ in God."Dr. Bruce A. Gerlach, Prof, College of the Ozarks, MO
"A must-read for those who have lost their way because they could not reconcile a Bible declaring God is Love, while simultaneously teaching that the fate of the sinner is eternal damnation. Layer by layer, concept by concept, this book will loose the bonds of insanity that has plagued the Church for centuries."Grady Brown, M.Th, D.Litt.Director and founder of Dayspring Bible Ministries, TX
"One of the most concise books covering the subject of the righteous purpose of God's judgment. The reader will see that God will not rest until He will become All in all (1Cor 15:28)."Dr. Marian Paul Kampik, Silesian University, Poland
"An excellent and well researched book."Rev. Rod Walton CJ: Anglican Independent Communion,Founder of Bereavement Rescue, UK
What makes Gerry confident He is qualified to write on this theme?
He has extensively reflected upon, read the works of others, and for many years wrestled with and studied the Scriptures on this theme. He has found solid Biblical evidence for his conclusion of hope. He has agonized for most of his life over hell and understands the contradictions it brings upon the Christian faith.
Gerry asked himself and God, "Who am I to write such a book?" Then he recalled 1Co. 1:26-29, "God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise...that no flesh should glory in his presence." KJV This along with Mt. 10:27 and 11:25 spurred him on.
Gerry has been involved in missions since 1986. He has served as a missionary in Mexico, the Philippines, and Senegal, West Africa, with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), The Luke Society, and Philippine Health Care Ministries. Since 2001, he has directed Dental Training For Missions in Brownsville Texas. Gerry trains missionaries in primary dental care. He and his wife, Denise, (of 30 years), have three daughters and two granddaughters.
"Knowing Gerry as a close friend, I can say that he has wrestled with God and his conscience over the issues presented in this book. Hope Beyond Hell is the result of many years of introspection, Bible study, and prayer. Gerry's enthusiasm for what he has discovered is evident on every page. To read this book is to know the author."

The medicinal properties of plants have been recognised for centuries, but while some herbal cures are recorded in books, many others are only remembered. Country Cures shows examples of these, collected over the past 20 years by Roy Vickery of the Museum's Department of Botany or contributed by readers of Country Living Magazine.
The plants featured are listed on the left, and can all be found growing in the Museum's only living exhibition, the Wildlife Garden.
How you can take part
Country Cures forms part of an on going project to survey all aspects of the folklore and traditional uses of plants. You can take part in this survey by sending in your herbal cures, which will be added to the Survey of Plant-lore, helping to record these stories for future generations to explore.
People who believe in traditional remedies will often turn to them before conventional medicines. Although not all are scientifically verified, they are thought to cure a wide range of ailments from warts and earache to ulcers and infertility. It is important to record these cures before they are lost forever, not only for reasons of posterity but also so that their curative properties can be studied.
If you know of any herbal remedies, however well documented, please select Send us your cure above. Alternatively, email Roy Vickery or write to Roy Vickery, Department of Botany, The Natural History Museum, London, SW7 5BD, UK.
