Alumni Scholarships Awarded to Saybrook Students Erica Hamilton and Les Ernst07/14/2009
Two 2009 Alumni Scholarships of $8,000 Each Have Been Awarded to Essay or Candidate Level Students Erica Hamilton and Les Ernst
From Erica Hamilton:
Women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) are often caught on a "medical merry-go-round" of diagnosis, referral, and treatments that may or may not be effective. My dissertation study will be the development of a grounded theory on coping among women with CPP. This research will serve as the foundation for the development of a multi-dimensional model of CPP in women, one that addresses critical factors related to the physical health, mental health, and spiritual health of women with CPP. I intend for this study's findings to be used to help women with CPP step off of the medical merry-go-round and onto new healing paths that actualize their healing capacities. I plan to apply this scholarship award towards the tuition at Saybrook so that I can afford my dissertation research expenses. I am very grateful to the Saybrook Alumni Association and Council for the opportunity to receive this scholarship award. It will enable me to complete my dissertation by next spring.
From Les Ernst:
I would like to express my heart felt appreciation to the Saybrook Alumni Association for awarding me the Saybrook Alumni Association Scholarship. I intend to apply this award toward the cost of tuition and research involved in completing my dissertation, "The Use of Discernment as a Means to Authenticate Spiritual Experiences in Christian Spiritual Direction" My research will require me to conduct interviews of spiritual directors in the U.S. Without this scholarship it would not be possible for me to conduct this research or to finish my doctoral program. Thanks to the Alumni Association, I will now be able to finish my program. I anticipate completing my dissertation by the end of Spring semester. I would also like to thank the Saybrook Alumni Council, committee members, and Saybrook Alumni who have contributed gifts to make this award possible for students in need. I will endeavor to write a dissertation worthy of the gift that has been so graciously awarded to me.
With Sincere Gratitude,
Les Ernst

On Wednesday afternoon, Frank Phillips College sophomore catcher Kristi Michaud made her plans for the next school year officially known by signing her letter of intent to become a member of the Kansas Wesleyan University Lady Coyotes Softball team.
A Canada native, Michaud has spent the past two seasons being a consistent force at the plate for the Lady Plainsmen as well as providing leadership and solid defensive skills behind the plate.
When talking to Michaud and Lady Plainsmen Head Coach Jenneffer Kohler on Wednesday, the Kansas Wesleyan coaching staff contacted Kohler a while back searching for a good catcher that can hit the ball with Kohler saying she knew Michaud would be exactly what the school was looking for.
Michaud recently took a trip to Salina, Kan. where she was quickly sold on the school and the softball program saying, "The atmosphere was great to where it was obvious that there is tremendous support for the school's athlete teams from the administration to the people in the community. I was also impressed with the coach, who seems down to earth, and the campus is beautiful."
Both Michaud and Kohler feel that the catcher should have the opportunity to come in and potentially start for the Lady Coyotes immediately.
As far as what Michaud plans on studying, the sophomore smiled and said that is something she keeps asking herself almost everyday but said she would like to possibly become a coach.
The Lady Coyotes currently hold a 17-7 record and compete in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference.
Michaud's love for softball started at an early age playing t-ball as a five year old and she has been involved in the game ever since.
When asked how a player from Canada found her way to Borger to play for the Lady Plainsmen the past two years, Michaud credits her former teammate and good friend Kate Johnson, who had joined the Lady Plainsmen program prior to Michaud graduating high school, in getting her introduced to the program.
In reflecting her time with the Lady Plainsmen, Michaud said, "This is a good community and a supportive small college. I liked that I didn't feel overwhelmed when I came here and of course I enjoy the relationships I have made with my teammates."
Michaud said the biggest adjustment she had to make when she came to Frank Phillips was the commitment it takes being a part of a colleigate athletic program.
While on the field, Michaud has been one of those players that was able to come in and contribute immediately.
Of Michaud, Kohler commented, "She is more mature than the average 18-19 year old, which has allowed her to come in and provide the program with leadership, which comes natural to her.
She makes good decisions on and off the field and is just one of those players I've enjoyed coaching."

Alec Stewart: New county cricket season promises high quality
I'm looking forward to the county season starting on Wednesday and I'm expecting some exciting, high-quality cricket to be played throughout the summer.
County cricket is vitally important because it is the feeder to the England team. The competition is strong and competitive, meaning the national side reaps the benefits.
Geoff Miller and the other England selectors spend many hours watching county cricket, which allows them to assess a player's ability, technique, character and personality before selecting them for the next step up.
Nick Compton and Joe Root are fine examples of players who have graduated to the England team over the winter and their selections should motivate every county player with ambitions to play for their country.
Root, who is 22, has been earmarked as a player of great potential for a couple of years now and is developing very nicely. However, if you just looked at his statistics he didn't stand out as an automatic pick - yet the England selectors had seen something special in him while playing for Yorkshire and when he was with the various ECB performance squads.
Compton is at the other end of the scale - he is now 29 and had been playing county cricket for a number of years before eventually earning his Test selection through sheer weight of runs for Somerset.
To mark the first day of the new season, I'm going to look at some teams to watch in the County Championship and discuss some of the domestic game's star performers.
Who will win the ultimate prize?
Division One of the County Championship is always keenly contested and I expect it to be no different this summer.
I'm obviously hoping Surrey will win the Championship for the first time since 2002 but there will be plenty of challengers for the title.
Stewart on Finn
"Congratulations to Steven Finn for winning England's FTI Most Valuable Player after taking 37 wickets in all formats against India, New Zealand and during the World Twenty20.
"However, while I fully agree he should be very happy with his progress, I was also delighted to hear him say he still has room to improve.
"He has the ability to be one of England's finest ever bowlers so I am pleased to see he has that desire to be the very best he can possibly be. He is certainly not shy of hard work and in Angus Fraser at Middlesex he has a fine role model."
Warwickshire as the defending champions look very strong again.
They may have had a change of leadership during the winter, with Dougie Brown replacing the new England one-day coach Ashley Giles as director of cricket, but Brown knows the club from top to bottom and he will be working with a strong squad that has a lot of depth.
I'm also interested to see how Middlesex fare. They have signed James Harris from Glamorgan, an exciting young bowler on the fringes of the England squad, and they also have Toby Roland-Jones who took more than 60 wickets last season.
My only concern is whether they are capable of scoring enough runs. They tend to rely heavily on their overseas player, Chris Rogers, and there have already been whispers that he might be called up for Australia's Ashes squad. How would they cope if that happened?
Under Mick Newell, Nottinghamshire have built a very strong squad. They will lose Graeme Swann and Stuart Broad to England duties, but they will still be able to field quality players like Michael Lumb, Alex Hales, James Taylor and Samit Patel for most of the season.
Pitches at Trent Bridge tend to produce results too, meaning Notts are likely to be pushing to win the County Championship at the end of the summer.
Sussex and Durham will again be keen to show the top division exactly what they are capable of and both counties will believe they have a more than decent chance of success. They both know what it takes to win the Championship and that experience can count for a lot.
Derbyshire and Yorkshire are the new boys having been promoted and they will look to establish themselves, knowing that four or five wins will secure their status and, if achieved early enough, they can then begin to think about the top end of the table.
Promotion contenders
Division Two of the County Championship is always difficult to assess because it usually goes down to the wire.
BBC radio coverage
"It's fantastic news that the BBC Sport website will be broadcasting live radio commentary of every single county match this summer.
"Many newspapers are cutting down on their coverage of county cricket and, with the Ashes series and the British Lions rugby tour of Australia dominating sport this summer, there is a danger that county cricket could lose much-needed exposure.
"But this is great for the game and allows supporters to follow their team's progress more closely."
In the first half of the season, some teams play quite cagey cricket to ensure they have stayed in with a chance of promotion come the end of the summer - when teams are more prepared to take a risk in pursuit of victories.
Lancashire, who won Division One in 2011, were relegated last year and I am struggling to see past them for promotion. They have kept most of that title-winning team together and all-rounder Wayne White is an astute signing from Leicestershire.
The square has been turned and the pitch re-laid at Old Trafford so Lancashire will need surfaces that allow them to force results - rather like the ones they played on at out grounds in 2011.
Another team to watch out for are Hampshire. They have an effective group of players and the signing of the Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal for the final two months of the season is a shrewd one.
He could come into the team and win matches almost single-handedly when the pitches should be at their driest later in the summer.
There are a number of clubs who are struggling financially and many of those are bringing through their own players rather than making new signings.
While you also need experience to help nurture that talent, I am pleased to see counties like Essex and Kent trying to build competitive teams with some very promising young players who have been developed through their youth and academy system.
The star men
Graeme Smith (Surrey) - To have the captain of the number one Test side in the world playing county cricket for the next three years can only be good news for Surrey and the county game.
Graeme Smith's Test record
Age: 32
Tests: 110
Runs: 8,753 (average: 48.62)
Hundreds: 26
Fifties: 37

Smith is a huge signing for my county, and the perfect person to lead the team both on and off the field after what has been a very difficult 12 months.
When his signing was announced, there was a lot of excitement in the county game and a real buzz in the Surrey dressing room.
It's a huge boost to our domestic game to see a world-class player like Smith playing county cricket. He will be able to pass on his vast knowledge and experience and players both young and old can learn so much from him.
In years gone by, the very best players in the world - Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding, Viv Richards, Wasim Akram and the like - would come over here during the summer and add so much to the overall quality of the competition, but with today's busy international itinerary the availability of world-class players is limited.
I'm sure Smith will stamp his class on county cricket and, with my Surrey cap on, I hope he leads the club to plenty of success.
Glen Chapple (Lancashire) - Chappie is 39 now but his hunger and desire remain as strong as ever.
If I had to pick five players during my time who were unlucky not to have played Test cricket for England, he would certainly be one of them.
Chappie is a skilful bowler who has taken almost 900 first-class wickets, and he'll be desperate to help Lancashire get back into the top division of the Championship this summer.
Marcus Trescothick (Somerset) - The former England opener would still be playing international cricket if it weren't for the stress-related illness that forced his premature retirement from the national side.
He is the best batsman in the county game by a mile and his wicket is the most prized by bowlers now that Mark Ramprakash has retired.
He is a model professional and the impact he has on Somerset and their opponents is massive.
He is an inspiration to all young players, showing them exactly what a top Test-match player is all about.
England's loss has certainly been Somerset's gain.

Smoking what... Smith is past his best, yes or no? Think Sussex will have a good year and Durham another shocker. Smith will have a great influence on the county but that will take time. The 3 picks are hardly insightful- just consistent performers which we can all see

Graeme Smith will certainly spice things up on the county scene to add a bit of excitement on the cricket circuit this summer.
Great work, Surrey, for being successful in bringing the big fella over.

Indeed Grizz, good to hear from you. Get back on v2, you're missed!

At #1: What are you smoking mate? Being a football fan as well myself, I can see how you might make the mistake that players in their 30's are past it, but this is cricket. Most of the top players in world cricket are in their 30's. Kallis, Clark, Kumar etc. This really is the sport where players mature like fine wines...
Comment number 16. Posted by Gerryon 10 Apr 2013 20:48
Now that all matches are on I hope the BBC make some attempt to shake things up and move the commentators around a bit to give us a more objective view of the season. As Alec Stewart proves most cricket people are just a teeny bit biased and one eyed when it comes to their team. Fine bringing in a coach, injured or ex players to summarise but the commentary needs to be more impartial.
Comment number 15. Posted by Pelham Warneron 10 Apr 2013 17:09
The decision to broadcast live commentary from County matches is the most exciting aspect of this summer. As a child (I am 38 now) I used to follow Warwickshire & Worcestershire avidly. There is less interest in the county format now amongst kids. T20 may be to blame but perhaps we need free tickets for school kids to get them interested?
Comment number 14. Posted by Alion 10 Apr 2013 16:49
whenever I read your blogs I am not surprised by your inability to judge cricket/cricketers as I remember as a teenager how average of a player you used to be...
Comment number 13. Posted by brimptonyellowon 10 Apr 2013 16:19
So Alec doesn't pick Somerset, one of the most consistent county teams of recent years in all forms of cricket. I'm hoping the likely loss of Compton doesn't prevent another serious assault on a first title. As in his comments when Surrey first signed Smith, Alec seems unaware that he's played in the championship before, at the height of his powers, for Somerset. Does he have a blind spot?
Comment number 12. Posted by sportsfanon 10 Apr 2013 14:52
I think Smith's signing for Surrey is huge for the game in England, sorry #7 cannot agree with you on this one! You just do NOT buy experience on the shelf at your local store, you get it from playing the game week in week out at the highest level and Smith in particular is a good signing for all the younger players, I am sure he is going to pass on valuable experience to them!

@9 - for the record I detest IPL.
Pr4wn - hope you're well, back the Ravens at 100/1 ?
Last time we talked NFL in here it was exciting times for Buccs and Chiefs, now just desperation...
Comment number 10. Posted by TtT-ieron 10 Apr 2013 14:00
Not a very good start for Yorkshire, then, First 5-for to Jordan of Sussex.
Comment number 9. Posted by The Eyewaymanon 10 Apr 2013 13:30
@1 Grizzly Couldn't resist.
IPL is probably THE showcase for 20/20, but I think most people in the know would agree that county is the premier "more day" competition in the world. Sort of an IPL for "more day" cricket. Being a bit of a purist IPL or 20/20 is MacDs compared to county/ test cricket being steak and veg. I suppose it's yours to pick but genuine cricketers, imo, pick steak and veg!
Comment number 8. Posted by Pr4wnon 10 Apr 2013 13:29
Notts seem to be a very exciting team this season, looking forward to seeing them play. Lots of star names there but can they piece it all together?
Grizzly, where have you been?!
Comment number 7. Posted by SJC1000on 10 Apr 2013 13:08
Key men as Chapple, Smith and Trescothick? Thats the kind of insight that you can only get from an ex-pro.
Comment number 6. Posted by Rene Artoison 10 Apr 2013 12:31
@4 agreed- There is the fundamental difference between county cricket and IPL. County fans go to watch their team, and support their club. The players are not the attraction. In India, celebrity sports culture is very different, the 'top' players just need to turn up to draw a crowd, it doesnt matter who theyre plaing for. A plastic IPL like comp wouldnt work in England- we want a team to support
Comment number 5. Posted by Grizzlyon 10 Apr 2013 11:58
That may well be the case but I was pointing out that watching a young quickie like Matt Coles should be more exciting than a 39 year old chugging in.
Of course in the IPL's case many of the 'star attractions' are in the 40's !
Comment number 4. Posted by The Eyewaymanon 10 Apr 2013 11:39
Good article, I'm becoming somewhat of a fan:)
As a South African I have rarely followed county cricket, mostly scores and tables. Smith has a buzz about him without being self centred. He has done the hard yards and has really ground out a great career with sheer tenacity. I think tenacity compensates for a terrible technique:)
@1Grizzly MOST of the best cricketers are in their 30's, Stat fact!
Comment number 3. Posted by ComeEnglandAwayon 10 Apr 2013 11:14
Can't believe Somerset don't get a mention as title contenders!
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, as consistent runners up in too many competitions recently, it's going to be their year. Remember where you heard it first.... :-)
Comment number 2. Posted by J_Robertson 10 Apr 2013 10:49
Hopefully Hampshire are able to push for promotion this year. I agree that Ajmal is a shrewd signing, Hampshire are clever in targeting world class spinners as overseas signings (Tahir, Warne) to back up their steady, proven pace attack (the likes of Tomlinson). Make or break season for Liam Dawson, future for England?
Comment number 1. Posted by Grizzlyon 10 Apr 2013 10:20
The three 'star men' have an aggregate age of 108 and the best years of their cricketing life well behind them, If county cricket is all about watching big names then it will always lose out to comps like IPL.
There's are plenty of exciting young players around that will develop into top players...

Sera was founded in 1970 by Josef Ravnak, a well-respected seller of live pet-food. At this time, a new process called lyophilization was being introduced and was already highly acclaimed for preserving food animals with optimal retention of their nutrients and vitamins. Mr. Ravnak capitalized on this innovation, and over the years has continually improved sera's product quality through advanced production methods and stringent quality control. Today – more than thirty years later – sera freeze-dried (FD) foods are the refined result of this original process, and they represent an important part of the sera product line.
The early years
During the company's first years the product line was continuously expanded and optimized, and sera vipan flakes, the company's flagship food, was introduced in 1972. The company focus broadened to include the aquarium hobby as a whole and throughout the decade they developed water conditioners, such as sera aquatan and sera morena – aquatic plant fertilizers, such as sera florena – and aquarium fish medications, such as sera costapur and sera baktopur. The first series of water testing kits were also developed.
Towards the end of the seventies, sera turned to the garden pond sector and developed a complete range of pond care products to equal the quality of those in their popular aquarium lines. Turtle and other reptile products were also being added at this time.
Throughout the eighties, sera continued to raise the company profile by increasing the product lines with innovative and scientifically advanced foods, vitamins, and technological products. During these years the acclaimed sera Bio-Denitrator was launched, which was the first mechanism to actively target the biological breakdown of nitrate in an aquarium. sera continued its development into natural biological methods for maintaining clean water, and the highly effective sera siporax media for bio-filters was introduced to the public and was requested by the US Space program – where it is still used today.

"Cathay Pacific, of course, did not like the video," Next Media wrote on YouTube. "It asked NMA to remove the video but we refused. Never in the course of Cathay's correspondence with NMA did Cathay address the issue that males passengers have been seen masturbating aboard Cathay flights."
According to Next Media, the airline apparently had YouTube take down the original video. The Taiwanese news outlet responded by reposting the video, affirming that the content was protected under U.S. copyright law, which makes exceptions for satire, parody, and criticism.
"We don't like censorship," wrote Next Media. "We don't like bullies." And supposedly business class passengers on Cathay Pacific like masturbation.

PAWTUCKET – The third largest crowd of the year to fill McCoy Stadium expected to see a solid pitching performance on Tuesday night.
But instead of watching a strong outing from one of the Boston Red Sox's top prospects, they saw one from a journeyman reliever who is his first full season as a starter in eight years.
Former Los Angeles Angels and Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Chris Bootcheck found a way to contain the PawSox for nearly six innings, and his teammates continued to play home run derby at the expense of their hosts in a 6-4 victory that was also the fourth loss in five games for the defending I.L. champions.
Bootcheck improved his record to 7-2 by throwing 5 2/3 innings of four-hit ball, striking out four batters, allowing two walks, and plunking a batter with a pitch. Unfortunately for Bootcheck, half of the hits he allowed left the yard, but the RailRiders finished the night with five homers of their own.
The ball was certainly flying out of the park on this night, for the PawSox launched three home runs of their own, two of them by leadoff batter Jackie Bradley Jr., who led off the third and eighth innings by depositing blasts into the bleachers in right-center field.
Meanwhile, all eyes were on PawSox starter Rubby De La Rosa, who came into the game with an impressive 20-inning scoreless streak that saw him pick up his first two wins of the season, strike out 18 batters, and surrender just nine hits and five walks.
But instead of building on his past few performances, De La Rosa took a step backwards. He only lasted three innings, striking out five batters, but allowing five hits and two runs, hitting three batters with pitches, and throwing a whopping 73 pitches.
Twenty-nine of those pitches came in the top of the second inning, which saw the visitors plate their two runs and score the first on a leadoff homer into the bleachers in right field by Cuban product Adonis Garcia, his first career Triple-A blast that just cleared the wall.
De La Rosa then plunked Brent Lillibridge with a pitch, gave up a sharp base hit to right by Josh Bell, and a long double to left by No. 9 batter Addison Maruszak that knocked in Lillibridge with ease.
The PawSox then tied the score on homers by Bryce Brentz in the bottom of the second and Jackie Bradley Jr. in the third. Brentz's shot, his team-leading 16th, was an opposite-field clout that dropped into the bleachers in right-center, and Bradley Jr.'s was a carbon-copy blast.
But the RailRiders reclaimed the lead with some longball of their own off reliever Terry Doyle. Maruszak broke the tie in the fourth with a shot into the berm in left that was just his third home run in 225 at-bats, and Randy Ruiz lofted a shot into the bleachers in right-center in the fifth for his ninth home run in only 18 games.
Down 4-2, the PawSox had a couple of opportunities to cut their deficit, but baserunning blunders cost them each time.
In the fifth, Jeremy Hazelbaker singled and stole his team-leading 22nd base of the year, but with two outs, he tried to steal third while Bootcheck still had the ball on the mound and he was thrown out at third by the pitcher with ease.
And in the sixth, Drew Sutton led off with a ringing double to right-center, but one out later, he got caught leaning the wrong way on a large lead off second and was promptly picked off by Bootcheck.
The visitors padded their lead with another solo homer, this one coming from Lillibridge and clearing everything in left field and landing deep in the parking lot.
But the PawSox struck in the eighth, getting back that run on Bradley's second home run and then putting runners on first and second with one gone on walks to Sutton and Mark Hamilton.
RailRiders manager Dave Miley then brought in his closer, Jim Miller, to put out the fire, and while Miller struck out the first batter he faced, he then allowed a run-scoring single to center by Xander Bogaerts that made it a one-run game.
The inning continued when Justin Henry drew a walk to load the bases, but Miller came back to strike out the next batter he faced and silence the threat.
The Railriders' fifth home run (and 13th in the past four contests off the PawSox) came in the ninth off the bat of Dan Johnson, who roped a fastball from reliever Brock Huntzinger deep into the picnic area in right.
SWB reliever Dellin Betances, the fifth pitcher used by the RailRiders, then worked a 1-2-3 ninth to slam the door on the PawSox, striking out the first two batters he faced.
Before the game, PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina spoke highly about the performance turned in the night before by knuckleballer Steven Wright, who tossed a masterful nine-inning shutout, Wright's third career blanking and the first whitewash in nearly two years by a PawSox pitcher.
"In his last couple of starts, he threw really well for the first three innings, but then kind of fell apart in the fourth and fifth with his command," offered DiSarcina. "But I thought last night he did a very good job of getting groundballs, being down in the zone (with his knuckleball), and getting guys to swing at it."
Wright, who is now 4-5 with a 4.14 ERA, surrendered seven hits and four walks, whiffed three batters, and received a nice helping hand from his defense.
"He really didn't struggle at all," DiSarcina said of Wright, who threw just 96 pitches, 67 of them for strikes. "He had some seven, eight, nine-pitch innings which really helped his pitch count, and he fielded his position well. … Bogaerts also made some good plays (at shortstop), (Brock) Holt played great at third, Sutton made a big pick at first, and Jackie made a great catch in center field. As a manager, that's what you like to see."
EXTRA BASES: Hazelbaker's fifth-inning single extended his hit streak to eight games. … The attendance was 10,033. … A total of five batters were hit by pitches in the game. … The PawSox conclude their series with the RailRiders and their nine-game homestand tonight at 6:15 p.m. when they send Alfredo Aceves (3-2, 3.71) to the hill to face fellow righthander Caleb Cotham (2-4, 7.02). Post-game fireworks will again follow the game. … The PawSox will begin a seven-game road trip on Thursday that kicks off with a four-game series in Rochester against the Red Wings.

Fetherston's Treasure Box of Classic Woodys
Editor's Note: While recently conversing with author David Fetherston, we asked him to put together some excerpts from his Treasure Box of Classic Woodys, a 400-page hardbound book that traces the history of the wood-bodied station wagon from its earliest depot hack days all the way through the Dinoc wagons of the Sixties and Seventies. The book, which comes in a handcrafted wooden box with a variety of woodie memorabilia, sells for $495 and is available only through Fetherston's website, DFWoodyBook.com.
As the railways spread across the U.S., transport to and from railway stations became a social need. In the early 1900s, horse-drawn wagons serviced that need. When mechanical inventions burst on the scene, competition from auto manufacturers brought depot hacks that were enclosed for more protection, as rider comfort moved up the "needs" list. Over the following 50 years, the piston-powered depot hack evolved from a simple mode of transport to the iconic station wagon – a staple of mid-century American family life.
This Model T depot hack featured what appears to be an early Mifflinburg body. This scene from Kansas, in the early twenties, shows the comfort level of weekend travel on the Great Plains on the deeply rutted roads.
The new 1933 model year brought with it for Ford a new station wagon model in the multi-model line up. The sheet metal was all new and substantially more stylish; the fenders were more bulbous; there was a new laid-back, shield-shaped grille; and the wheelbase increased to 112-inches. The front doors now opened at the front edge partly influenced by the shape of the door opening. The bodies continued to be sourced outside Ford; Mengel made the wood sub-assemblies and both Murray and Baker-Raulang delivered 2,013 finished bodies.
The 1934 station wagon was nearly identical to the 1933, but there were some minor sheet metal changes. The V8 option now made up 80 percent of the deliveries of finished station wagons. The rear Isinglass side windows were now on a sliding track that slid them up into runners in the roof between the roof bows.
This 1934 Ford station wagon is just one of the great woodys in Mike Devriendt's collection. Restored by Mike back in 1973, this stock station wagon has been accessorized just as the original owner might have done. It features red wire wheels, capped with a fat white-wall tires, chrome beauty rings, fog lights, dual spare wheels with metal tire cases, twin chrome horns and an outside mirror. Finished in black, the all-blonde Baker-Raulang body is made of maple with birch panels.


text: This year with Valentine's Day being in the middle of the week, we were busy with an abundance of romance packages the weekend before and the weekend after, as well as midweek. There were balloons, rose petals, and chocolate covered strawberries galore, but the most extravagant request came from one gentleman who wanted to surprise his wife with a room filled with bouquets of roses. Gregg and I are softies when it comes to that kind of utter romanticism and we enjoyed making the room look like a setting for a romance novel. I should have taken a picture!

LOUISVILLE - The New York State Environmental Facilities Corp. (EFC) today approved $16.75 million in low-cost financing for drinking water improvements in the Village of Dryden, City of Rome and Town of Louisville, as well as a $2 million grant to Louisville.
These three-year loans, as well as the $2 million grant, come from the New York State Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. Jointly administered by EFC and the state Department of Health, the revolving loan program provides subsidized loans for the construction of new infrastructure and the repair of drinking-water systems across New York State.
Governor Cuomo, EFC and the New York State Department of Health (DOH) are pleased to assist these communities in providing safe, high quality water at an affordable cost, said Matthew J. Driscoll, EFCs President and CEO. Through New Yorks Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, communities throughout New York State are taking important steps to improve drinking water quality and protect public health for generations to come.
Access to safe and clean drinking water is a cornerstone to public health protection, said State Health Commissioner, Nirav R. Shah, M.D., M.P.H. The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program continues to provide vital resources to New York communities, which enhance and improve public drinking water infrastructure.
For the Village of Dryden, EFC approved more than $4 million in low-cost loans for two drinking water projects. An arsenic removal treatment facility, a new Wellhead Building and a new groundwater supply well will be constructed with a $2.134 million interest-free loan and another short-term loan of $4.27 million at a subsidized market rate. Another three-year loan of $1.95 million will allow the Village to replace a water storage tank and watermains.
In Rome, the water treatment plant will be upgraded with new filters thanks to $5.4 million in short-term loans — $1.8 million at no-interest and $3.6 million at a subsidized market-rate. The project is the first phase of a system-wide upgrade for the City of Rome with new storage tanks and transmission mains planned for the future.
The Town of Louisville was granted a $7.275 million interest-free loan along with a $2 million grant for a new distribution system, storage tank and system consolidation.
This project will form the East Louisville Water District #3 in Louisville and the West Hatfield Water District in the Town of Norfolk – areas not currently served with public water. Some existing public water systems (grocery, convenience store and a housing complex) will be consolidated as a part of this project.

Editor's Note: This recipe is part of Gourmet's Modern Menu for Passover. Menu also includes Wine-Braised Brisket with Tart Cherries and Amaretto Olive Oil Cake.
YIELD: Makes 8 to 10 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 40 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups (8 ounces) quinoa
- 2 1/2 cups water
- Kosher or fine salt
- 5 scallions, trimmed
- 1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons mild honey
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Special equipment: A sharp vegetable peeler
Put eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover pan, and remove from heat. Let eggs stand, covered, 15 minutes, then drain, and transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool completely. Remove shells and finely grate eggs with a Microplane or the fine holes of box grater into a small bowl. Set aside.
Rinse quinoa well in a large fine-mesh sieve under cold running water. Set sieve over a bowl and let quinoa drain well for at least 5 minutes. Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil with 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher or fine) in a 3-quart saucepan. Add quinoa and simmer, covered, until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender, 16 to 20 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let quinoa stand, covered, 5 minutes. Spoon quinoa onto a large rimmed baking sheet, spreading it in a single layer, and let it cool to room temperature.
Cut scallions into 2-inch pieces. Halve each piece lengthwise, then slice lengthwise into thin strips (julienne). Transfer to a large bowl.
Using vegetable peeler, peel lengthwise strips from asparagus, beginning at bottom end, and add to scallion. Once you can't peel any more slices from a stalk, break off the thick end (reserving it for another use, such as soup) and add the remaining thin strip to bowl with scallions.
Whisk together lemon juice with honey and 3/4 teaspoon kosher (1/2 teaspoon fine) salt until smooth. Add oil in a steady stream, whisking until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning, if desired, then whisk in grated eggs.
Transfer quinoa to another large bowl and toss with herbs and 1/2 cup vinaigrette, or to taste. Toss asparagus with 3 tablespoons vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon quinoa onto salad plates, and top with a tangle of asparagus and scallion. Serve remaining vinaigrette on the side, or save, chilled, for another salad.
Cooks' notes:
Quinoa and eggs can be cooked up to 1 day ahead. Let cool as directed, then chill in separate containers.
Herbs can be kept between slightly dampened towels in resealable plastic bags, 1 day ahead.
Asparagus and scallion can be cut prepped and kept between slightly dampened towels in resealable plastic bags, 1 day ahead.
Vinaigrette (without eggs) can be made up to 3 hours ahead. Stir in grated egg just before dressing salad.

text: Inside the clone factory: The story of Germany's Samwer brothers Magazine features 02 March 12 by Matt Cowan Inside the clone factoryGerman brothers Oliver, Marc and Alexander Samwer are among Europe's most successful internet entrepreneurs. So why are they so vilified?Nick Wilson This article was taken from the April 2012 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.They have built high-growth companies that were acquired by eBay, Groupon and News Corporation. They have used their profits to invest in Facebook, LinkedIn and Zynga. Their Groupon stake was estimated at more than a billion dollars (£640m) at the close of its shares' first day of trading last November. And their incubator, Rocket Internet, has produced an array of aggressively growing internet businesses in Germany and beyond.Marc, Alexander and Oliver Samwer, three publicity-shy brothers based in Munich and Berlin, are among Europe's most consistently successful digital entrepreneurs. Yet they are also are among the most controversial. Mention the Samwer name at an internet conference from LeWeb in Paris to Munich's DLD, and there's a good chance you'll hear them dismissed as "clone" kings, who simply copy existing high-growth web companies, from Airbnb to Pinterest -- often selling the businesses back to the people who originated the idea. It's a strategy that has made them plenty of enemies: "The Samwer brothers are despicable thieves," serial entrepreneur Jason Calacanis tweeted in December. "How do they sleep at night?"Now the brothers are facing more than peer disapproval. Disaffected staff at their Rocket Internet incubator have been quitting. According to former senior manager Christian Weiss, around 25 people have so far given notice, including Weiss himself, to start their own incubator. Then, last December, Oliver Samwer was forced to issue a public apology after an internal memo was leaked to TechCrunch: "I will die to win and I expect the same from you," he told senior staff building an international furniture business. "The time for the blitzkrieg must be chosen wisely, so each country tells me with blood when it is time. I am ready -- anytime!… I do not accept surprises. I want this plan confirmed by all three of you: you must sign it with your blood."So, just who are the Samwers?"I very rarely do interviews -- almost never," says Oliver Samwer across a conference table in the brothers' venture capital firm, the European Founders Fund, in Munich on a late September afternoon. Oliver, 39, is trim and decked out in a fitted button-down shirt, jeans and Gucci sneakers.Alexander, 37, is in the office too, wearing a blue Lacoste shirt. The youngest brother, he holds a master's degree from Oxford and a Harvard MBA. Marc, 41, who has a reputation for being the most charismatic of the three, is currently busy with his duties at Groupon.Alexander is cordial, but the job of talking on the record goes to Oliver. "We are builders of companies, we are not innovators," he tells Wired. "Someone else is the architect and we are the builders."Oliver takes issue with the prevailing notion that he and his brothers are driven purely by money. "If I was motivated by money alone, I would have stopped a long time ago," he insists. Rather, he suggests that what galvanises them is winning: "To prove over and over again that we're the best," he explains.In an industry that celebrates innovation, the Samwers are not originators, but they are extremely effective in their chosen field: they see concepts that are working in the US or Asia and replicate the approach for new markets with high barriers of entry. Their "clones" can be found in populous, non-English-speaking countries including Germany, China, Russia and Brazil."It's become a joke: 'You'd better watch your back or the Germans will kill you,'" says San Francisco-based Loïc Le Meur, who runs LeWeb. Le Meur says that he has no desire to trash the Samwers, whom he considers to be friends; but he does worry that their success has helped to encourage other copycats. "It's making a lot of money for the Samwers, but it's killing innovation in Europe. It's telling young entrepreneurs that the ideal way to make money is by copying something that works in the US, then selling it back to the original."***Serial entrepreneur Stefan Glaenzer made a similar point in an op-ed for the Frankfurter Allgemeine in 2010. He speculated that Berlin's Mitte district had become the global centre for cloning digital businesses, and called on investors and entrepreneurs to summon "the courage to think big and try to improve the world rather than chase the fast buck".Shortly after he wrote this, two entrepreneurs who had previously worked for the Samwers came to Glaenzer with the idea for DailyDeal, a Groupon clone. "When [Fabian and Ferry Heilemann] told me about Groupon's business model, I was amazed by its beauty," he says. He softened his stance to invest."I said, even though I wrote a huge article two months before about how much I hated copying, I would actually engage with the copying," says Glaenzer. He cofounded Rebate Networks with StudiVZ cofounder Michael Brehm to export the model to eastern Europe, south-east Asia and China. "From a business point of view, it's the fastest-growing business ever," Glaenzer says. DailyDeal was acquired by Google in September 2011 for a sum rumoured to be between £98 million and £130 million. It seems that even the doubters can be persuaded of the benefits of cloning.The model that proved so effective for the Samwers came about, if not by accident, at least partly as a result of eBay's inattentiveness in its early days. In 1998, when the brothers were living in San Francisco, Marc was struck by the number of people in his office who were using eBay. Following a brainstorming session during a Christmas holiday together, the Samwers agreed that eBay would make sense in the German marketplace.Europe's largest economy had been through a decade of fierce upheaval following its reunification in 1990, but retail law was still focused on preserving social mores rather than promoting commerce. Sunday-shopping laws were restrictive, and Germany boasted Europe's toughest restrictions on retail discounts. Online auctions would at last offer Germans the chance to feel they were getting a deal. The brothers say they sent several emails to eBay suggesting that the company establish an online auction platform in Germany, and that they should be hired to run it. When they didn't receive a reply, the brothers returned to Germany and, in January 1999, brought in three friends to develop their own platform.A month later they founded Alando -- a German-language online auction website. Among the first items for sale were their own childhood toys: Alex sold his train set, Marc auctioned an old pair of roller skates and Oliver some coins. The team also created what it called "category captains" who were each responsible for a specific area of the site. "We had one person focusing on stamp dealers, one person focusing on consumer electronics etc," Oliver says. "We took it into our own hands and didn't wait for the market to be founded."Within 100 days of going live, the site was sold to eBay for £35 million. "Those three months were all about execution," says Niko Waesche, an entrepreneur who helped set up Alando's technology. "When it started, there were at least 18 auction sites in Germany -- we weren't the only ones. [The Samwers] were execution motors."On September 22, 1999, The New York Times ran a story about the Samwer brothers and Alando, detailing how they had inspired other German startups. The success of the German eBay also alerted major US tech firms to the potency of the market in Germany. Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman recalled in her autobiography: "When we started eBay Germany, it took off like an absolute rocket… Germany was the fastest growing of all eBay sites."The Samwers remained at eBay for a year, before leaving to create Jamba!, a mobile-phone-content platform. The brothers again demonstrated entrepreneurial flare: when revenues initially didn't meet expectations, Oliver decided that rather than pushing individual ringtones, the company would create a subscription model. The Samwers also did something else that was unusual for online at the time -- they invested heavily in television advertising. "Many people think that it doesn't pay back," Marc Samwer told the Google Zeitgeist conference in 2007. "We tested it, first with $10,000, then with $100,000, then with $1 million. In 2005, we spent $70 million in one quarter on television advertising worldwide."The brothers also bankrolled the creation of a new character for the mobile age: the Crazy Frog. Regularly cited as one of the most annoying pop creations in history, the tune sped to number one on singles charts across Europe and beyond. Jamba! was sold to VeriSign, the network-infrastructure company, for £176 million in 2004. The sale was proof of concept: the Samwers' pragmatic method, an approach built on the inspiration and innovations of others, was now a certifiable business model.Over the next few years, the brothers invested in German versions of YouTube (MyVideo), Twitter (Frazr) and Facebook (StudiVZ), as well as other technology properties based on US models. Not all were successes, but there were enough to suggest the Samwers could take their model one step further. In 2007, they founded Rocket Internet, their Berlin-based incubator that's often derided as a clone factory. Oliver prefers to think of it as "the United Nations of entrepreneurs". On its website, Rocket states that it supports companies in more than 20 countries. "Fail fast" might be the entrepreneurs' mantra, but at Rocket the wisdom is slightly different: scale fast. Read page 2 123 Read on one page Comments After many press reports on the Samwers, this is actually a well rounded piece that does not forget to put emphasis on the fact that the Samwers have been the key influence behind Berlin becoming are startup hub (an increasingly innovative one). I am a student at WHU where Oliver Samwer studied and recruits heavily. Last year we organized the IdeaLab! Founders Conference where he gave us a short video interview: vimeo.com/30588469Many WHU students start with Rocket Internet to gain experience, but afterwards many of them found their own startups, many of them innovative companies. The risk profile is very attractive at Rocket and with their Entrepreneur-in-Residence programme (which has nothing to do with the classical VC EiR programs in the US) they are actually producing many good founders that contribute to Berlin as a startup hub and that would have otherwise joined Investmentbanks oder Consultancies. Marc Boehm Mar 8th 2012 The Samwer Brothers are brilliant Copycat Innovators. Contrary to popular opinion, successful imitation requires both creativity and innovation coupled with meticulous execution. Korea's Samsung by adopting the Toshiba approach , that's Copycat Innovation has overtaken the Japanese electronics giant like Sony and National. It's smart phones , which are basically Apple clones with improved features have now overtaken Nokia in sales. Businesses that ignore the Copycat Innovation strategy will be in peril of looming extinction. Dr.YKK, Mindbloom Consulting Dr.YKK May 11th 2012 I think it's a bit unfair to reduce the brothers to a "copy-cat" title. This happens everywhere, its just that they are the most successful at it. There are a lot of really cool tech companies in the valley that are relevant to non-english-speaking countries and developing ones but these countries don't fully benefit because the originators of the ideas pay no special attention to this countries. Mere providing different language translations does not breakdown the different albeit subtle differences between different cultures.I think the samwers should be commended for what they do especially for their German market. salym senyonga May 27th 2012 It's easy to criticise, but economies don't just need new ideas - they need competition within industries so the best ideas are executed in the best way. These guys help that happen. So can a lot of venture capital. Adrian Clark Nov 25th 2012 This is nice post i like this very much.Groupon happens to be an utterly successful business model for the recent years grouponclone script Jan 2nd 2013 There is nothing 'original' in this world. Only knowledge that is lost and found. Now someone can add their own style to something, but it is not important that you reinvent the wheel. Jon Jan 24th 2013 I like Jean-Luc Godard quotation about the CopyCat thing : "It is not where you take your ideas from, it is where you lead them to". With Rocket, the Samwer created a business and we can not blame them for this. I think doing it without adding value would not have been possible. I am a fan when I see how they are able to build start ups that quickly. This basis can now give them the opportunity to create new things from scratch Julien Feb 13th 2013 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

Vaginal Discharge
Vaginal Discharge Overview
Vaginal discharge is a fluid or semisolid substance that flows out of the vaginal opening. Most women have vaginal discharge to some extent, and a small amount of vaginal discharge is a reflection of the body's normal cleansing process. The amount and type of vaginal discharge also varies among women and with the woman's menstrual cycle. A change in vaginal discharge (such as an abnormal odor or color), or the presence of vaginal discharge associated with irritation or other uncomfortable symptoms, can signal that an infection is present.

In the 1980's when oil refiners announced they intended to enlarge their refineries to carry the anticipated increase fuel for the future, our congress was swamped with letters and appeals opposing that said plan. The letters came from environmental groups. Did you write your congressmen advising them to support the plan to enlarge refineries? No? Serves you right.
When oil producing companies announced they had discovered a large deposit of oil in Alaska (ANWAR) immediately the extreme radical organizations jumped and started their letters opposing its development. Did you write or call your Washington D.C. delegation voicing your opinion? No? Serves you right.
When oil was discovered in the Gulf of Mexico the same radical element started to oppose that development. This prevented American oil companies from developing the field.
Did you write your congressmen giving them your opinion on these issues? No? Serves you right.
Did you know that China is drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico along with Nigeria, a country that is in the process of signing a 100 year lease?
Until you start writing letters, or calling your congressmen, voicing your opposition to the actions the various radical environmental groups have taken, you have no right to complain.
Serves .you right.

"Good grief," Uncle Spud exclaimed as he put his newspaper down and wiped potato chip crumbs from his whiskers, shirt and fingers. "According to the news, Americans are having an epidemic of obesity. We're getting so fat it's affecting every aspect of our lives, from our physical and mental health to the size of airline and theater seats."
"I'm not fat," I scolded him. "I have this bulge over my belt buckle because I've been working my guts out."
"Corn chips and Pepsi will do that to you," Spud grinned.
"Well, okay, maybe I am just a little overweight, but give me a break, I'm a senior citizen now and we all gain a few pounds as we get older."
"Actually, Utah isn't as bad as most other states when it comes to obesity," Spud said. "Around here, 23 percent of the population is obese while another 35 percent is pleasantly plump. You know, just overweight. That means 58 percent of us have been eating too many calories for the amount of exercise we get."
"What's the difference between obese and overweight?"
"It's determined by a formula called the Body Mass Index," Spud said. "Multiply your weight by 703 and divide that number by your height in inches squared. If the number you get is below 25 you are not overweight. If the number is between 25 and 30, you are overweight. Between 30 and 35 you are obese. 35 to 40 is Stage II obesity, and anything 40 and above is Stage III and you probably spend all of your time sitting because you can't walk."
"Jeepers," I said. "And 58 percent of all Utahans are overweight or obese?"
"That's right," he exclaimed.
"How did this happen?" I asked.
"Sedentary living," Spud replied. "Most of us don't have physically demanding jobs anymore, and fewer and fewer of us workout or get enough exercise. Cheap, plentiful convenience foods loaded with sugary calories have become the norm. Hardly anyone cooks at home anymore. We use the microwave to warm up pre-packaged, pre-cooked, high calorie fodder, or we eat grease and salt at the fast food places. Most kids have never tasted oatmeal or homemade beans and casseroles."
"How do we compare with the rest of the country?" I asked.
"The fattest area of our country is in the deep South, Mississippi and Alabama," he said. "There, 34 percent of the population is obese and another 35 percent is overweight. That means 69 percent of everybody is super-sized, compared to Utah's 58 percent. And, Utah is the sixth leanest state in the nation. Colorado comes in at number one for skinny people, the only state in the nation with an obesity rate below 20 percent.
What's scary is that 15 years ago no state had an obesity rate above 20 percent. Now all but one does. An obesity tsunami is sweeping the whole country."
"So what's the problem with gaining a few pounds?" I asked.
"Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and kidney disease, to name only a few," Spud said. "The rate of type II (adult onset) diabetes in Utah increased by half between 1995 and 2010, from 4.3 percent to 6.2 percent. At that rate, we're experiencing an epidemic."
"What to do?" I asked.
"It's simple," Spud said. "Consume fewer calories and eat a more healthy, balanced diet. Nothing goes on your hips and waistline that didn't go through your mouth first. Cook more at home and pay attention to what's on the menu. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Cut down on salt, fats, sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Turn off the TV and get more exercise. Hoe the garden, walk the dog or sign up for clogging lessons."
"But what are we going to do with this mega-sized bag of chips now that we're going to start eating carrots and broccoli?" I asked.
"Mother always said we should never waste food," Spud said soberly. "I guess we'll have to eat them before we peel the carrots."
"Would you like some Dip?" I asked as I passed the dish.
"Sure," he smiled. "And we had better drink that gallon jug of root beer while were at it."
"Ah, life is good," I munched.
"Would you like ice cream with that root beer?" he asked.

Exelon Generation has submitted applications to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to extend the operating licenses of the company's Conowingo Hydroelectric Station and Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility.
KENNETT SQUARE, PA – Exelon Generation has submitted applications to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to extend the operating licenses of the company's Conowingo Hydroelectric Station and Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility.
Exelon will work with FERC and other agencies to extend the operating license period between 30 to 50 years for each facility. The applications support Exelon Generation's commitment to preserve these emission-free sources of electricity, enhance the local environment and improve the quality of life in nearby communities.
Conowingo is a conventional hydroelectric power plant located on the Susquehanna River in Darlington, Md. The plant's 11 units can generate 572 megawatts at full power with no carbon emissions. It began operations in 1928.
Muddy Run is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant located on the Susquehanna River in Drumore Township, Pa., north of Conowingo. The plant's eight units can generate 1,070 megawatts of clean electricity at full power. It began operations in 1966.
Conowingo is a conventional hydroelectric dam that uses river flow to generate power. In contrast, Muddy Run pumps water uphill to a raised reservoir. The stored water is released to run downhill through turbines to generate electricity at times when power is most needed.
The federal operating license for Muddy Run expires on Aug. 31, 2014, and for Conowingo on Sept. 1, 2014. Both facilities are operated by Exelon Power, a business unit of Exelon Generation. Exelon Generation is a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation.
Conowingo and Muddy Run have a significant positive impact on their surrounding communities beyond the clean generation they provide. Exelon Generation spends more than $40 million annually to operate and maintain both facilities and pays nearly $5 million in property taxes.
"Our goal is to keep Conowingo and Muddy Run providing clean and safe electricity for decades to come," said Vicky Will, vice president, Environmental Services, Exelon Power. "We're committed to protecting our environment and providing recreational opportunities to the community," added Will.
Exelon has invested millions of dollars in recreational opportunities along the river, including the construction of a $4.5 million wharf at Conowingo that provides river access for fishing, bird watching and photography and is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Recreation and shoreline management plans, based on three years of environmental studies conducted by Exelon, and extensive input from federal and state agencies and the public are included in the application. As part of the license renewal process, the next steps will involve further discussions with these interested parties to address any additional comments.
