Cover Story
Can we afford to let their dreams die?
Reported by Tim Cigelske, Comm '04 | Illustrations by Sean McCabe
Layoffs. Foreclosures. Retirement savings up in smoke. In these tough economic times, paying for college has become more difficult than ever. Yet, even as household budgets suffer, families stand firmly behind their students' dream to go to college. Marquette stands behind them, too. Virtually every student who comes to Marquette has a story to tell about how they got here. We're used to hearing them they're great, filled with heaps of family pride, commitment to Catholic education, belief in becoming the best they can be. But now students question whether they can come here or stay here without scholarship assistance. In the following pages meet three students who wanted you to hear their stories, three students who say scholarships made their dreams come true.
Hollie Lippert
College: Business Administration
Double Major: Accounting and Business Economics, Junior
Burke Scholarship Recipient
Hollie Lippert is a completely different person today.
Lippert grew up in Pittsville, Wis. Two square miles with about 800 people. One gas station. No stop lights. Lippert was involved in almost everything in high school. She played three sports, taught confirmation classes and coached youth athletic teams. Hoping to continue her super-charged schedule at Marquette, she applied for a scholarship that practically embeds students in service in nonprofit and public sectors, with activities sprinkled throughout the city. Lippert was one of 20 students interviewed from the 200 applicants to the Burke Scholarship Program.
She was anxious about coming to a school more than 10 times the size of her hometown. "I remember coming here and not being sure I would do well," she says.
But from the moment she arrived on campus, Lippert dove into service opportunities that connected her with others. "I first became involved with Campus Kitchen, a program that makes meals for those in the community in need. Then I taught English to adults who want to study for their GED. Now I tutor middle school students at a school on Milwaukee's South Side," she says.
In helping others, her anxiety faded. All the facets of Lippert's personality and who she wants to be have come together at Marquette. "Now I believe in myself," she says.
Justice "I remember the experience of delivering meals to a shelter for abused women. It was real. It was in your face."
Faith "Finding a place where faith is an open component was important to me."
Service "I don't think I would ever have been able to do what I've done if I didn't come to Marquette or hadn't been a Burke Scholar."
Scholarship "To have the full tuition paid is such a relief. If I didn't get the scholarship, I probably would have gone elsewhere."
City life "I really like the chance to be right in the heart of the city."
The Burke Scholars Program was created by the late Richard Burke, Bus Ad '56, Marquette trustee emeritus and founder and former CEO of Trek Bicycle, to provide four-year full-tuition scholarships to students who are committed to service. Burke Scholars must maintain a 3.0 GPA and volunteer at least 300 hours of meaningful service every academic year.
Luke Beehner
College: Engineering
Major: Biomedical Engineering, Senior
Markos Foundation Scholarship Recipient
Luke Beehner's family tree has deep Marquette roots.
His parents graduated from Marquette. Fifteen members of his extended family attended this university. Four of his older siblings called campus home before pursuing careers in law, medicine, public service and stand-up comedy.
It almost seemed destined that this youngest of seven children would follow the path of so many other Beehners, who came from Omaha to Milwaukee and Marquette. But it almost didn't work out like that.
When Beehner was in sixth grade, his father died unexpectedly of a heart attack.
"It was a hard time," he remembers. "My mom had to raise all of us on her own."
Supported by financial aid, Beehner has kept his family tradition on track. He enrolled in the College of Engineering coincidentally the same college his father attended. His mom believes her son is following in his dad's footsteps.
Now a biomedical engineering senior, Beehner recently completed Marquette's Co-op Program, which alternates employment experience with semesters of on-campus study. The co-op experience at Baxter Healthcare helped pay some of his college expenses. But even with the co-op and additional summer jobs, he wouldn't have made it without scholarship aid and other financial aid. He plans to use his Marquette education as a launching pad for his next goal: dental school.
Markos Scholarship Fund was established in 2004 by Dennis and Carol Markos to provide scholarship support to students with financial need.
Karina Moreno
College: Business Administration
Major: Finance, Senior
Urban Scholarship Recipient
Karina Moreno knows exactly where she wants to go.
She graduated from Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago, a college preparatory school serving children on the low-income west side. Cristo Rey students attend school four days a week and work one day a week to pay their tuition, giving them exposure to the working world and a personal investment in their education. Moreno thrived in the program, became valedictorian of her class and took a step no one in her family had taken before she went to college.
Financial aid was crucial for Moreno, whose single mother couldn't pay for college. She was awarded a scholarship through Marquette's Urban Scholars Program. "The financial aid was a major player in selecting the school I would attend," Moreno says. "Without those who have believed in me enough to fund my education, I would not have been able to get this far."
Moreno has seized every opportunity. The senior finance major works 20 hours a week at Robert W. Baird & Co. in the risk management department, mentored by Mary Ellen Stanek, Arts '78, the managing director and director of asset management for Baird and chair of Marquette's Board of Trustees.
On campus, Moreno is just as much of a hands-on learner. She's part of Marquette's Applied Investment Management program, a team of finance students that invests a portion of the university's endowment. She volunteers at the Latino Community Center and helps international students adjust to American life as an ambassador in Marquette's Global Village residential community.
"One of the pillars of the Jesuit foundation," she says, "is giving back to others."
Urban Scholars Program The now 10 full-tuition Urban Scholarships are funded in part through the generosity of several benefactors and designated for graduates of Chicago's Cristo Rey High School, members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukke and graduates of Milwaukee-area high schools.
How does scholarship aid fit into a financial aid package?
Students who receive assistance in affording tuition benefit from a mix of scholarship aid, grants, loans and student employment. The package helps bridge the gap between what students and their families can afford to pay and the cost of attending a university.
Q How many Marquette undergraduates receive aid?
Eighty-five percent of our full-time undergraduates receive some type of financial assistance. Even with the aid we provide, many students have unmet financial need. The average unmet financial need for a freshman this year is $6,089, which families meet through private loans, second jobs and other means. Long term, this amount of unmet need can affect a student's ability to attend Marquette.
Q Is student debt affecting the choices students have post graduation?
Yes. Many students take on loans as part of a complete financial aid package. The average debt for undergraduate students who graduated in 2007-08 was about $30,000. Loan repayments can mean that these graduates must delay graduate school or set aside public service and nonprofit careers as viable options.
Q How much total does Marquette award in financial assistance each year?
In 2007-08, scholarship aid and grants for all students including federal and state support and scholarship aid from private external sources as well as Marquette exceeded $94 million.
Q Is Marquette changing scholarship aid in light of the tough economic situation?
President Robert Wild, S.J., says that fulfilling the promise to retain current students through graduation is the university's first and foremost priority. University leadership is committed to working with students and families facing financial difficulties on solutions that make continued enrollment possible. In response to the increased stress felt by our families, the university raised the amount it commits to the financial aid budget by $4 million. Additionally, the university is working to secure more scholarship aid support for students who are struggling financially to remain at Marquette. Initial responses to this effort included a generous $250,000 gift from a family foundation to help 55 students continue their education this spring semester.
Financial need of Marquette undergraduate students
$38,776: Average Marquette undergraduate tuition, room and board and fees for 2009-10
25%: A quarter of Marquette students are the first in their families to go to college. On average families of these students can afford less than one-third of what it costs to attend Marquette. Scholarship aid helps ensure that these talented students continue to have access to Marquette.
$30,563: Average debt load of a graduating senior
Even after personal and family contributions, scholarships and grants, the unmet financial need is considerable. Marquette simply does not have enough funds to meet what students are fully qualified to receive in aid. Costs not covered by family contribution, federal grants and private scholarships must be made up through loans.
Are we that much better? Or is higher ed simply rapacious?
And I guess the question is: Would it be better to admit less financial aid students and lower their unmet need? There are other, cheaper options for students that we couldn't afford to admit. Would it be more ethical to only take on students we can take care of?

Pawleys Island, South Carolina is a beautiful coastal town to the south of Myrtle Beach. It is known to locals as the "low country" or called "arrogantly shabby." Pawleys Island constitutes a stretch of Highway 17 with the Atlantic Ocean on one side of the highway and the creek front on the other. This quaint location is a Southern person's dream.
I wanted to live somewhere where I could walk to the beach, know my neighbors, and witness Southern Hospitality at its finest, so I moved to Pawleys Island.

Re: SSM WE NEED NEW GAME MODES OR SOMETHING
Re: SSM WE NEED NEW GAME MODES OR SOMETHING
totally agree ... I mainly play the 4 vs 4 matches & the 4 maps get tired after awhile ... I like the bigger arenas & the chance to play the objectives along with the kills, but I know them all off by heart .... can hardly wait till some new ones drop .... the CE comes with all future DLC - wouldn't everyone be getting the new maps & such, as otherwise, how would the MP work if not everyone has it ? would love an idea of what future DLC might look like ....
Re: SSM WE NEED NEW GAME MODES OR SOMETHING[ Edited ]
New modes would be good. I'd start with 2v2 CTF and 1v1 duels. Maybe add some preference options too. Stage select, timer options, settings for max points to win, option for max kills to win, option for whoever first completes the objective to win, etc.
New armor, weapons, maps, etc. would be nice too but the less time I have to spend grinding for level-ups, the better. Honestly, if I could start with everything maxed, I would. If I could pay a few bucks to max everything out and save myself the time, I would.
New weapon types would be good. I've heard they might be putting in caestus or bows and arrows. I'd like a sword and shield option in which the shield can be used not only as a weapon but as a...well, shield. The option to make female characters would be nice. Maybe an option to change the characters size and shape too.
The gods overestimate themselves.

New hope for missing child 27 years later
Christopher Abeyta missing since 1986
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A Southern Colorado family is keeping hope alive that their son, Christopher Abeyta, may still be found. He's been missing for 27 years. New sets of eyes are investigating the cold case.
The Abeyta family gave those investigators all the information they've had since July 15, 1986 - the day seven-month-old Christopher went missing. Months turned into years and now nearly three decades later, possible breaks in other missing children cases are encouraging to the Abeytas.
"You never forget it," said Gail Abeyta, Christopher's father.
The morning Gil Abeyta woke up to find his seven-month-old son, Christopher, gone from his crib.
"There were kids going in back and forth in and out and we never really locked the door," said Abeyta.
Wishing he had locked the door, no one heard a strange sound, he said.
Gil believes someone walked up into the bedroom, grabbed Christopher out of his crib, which was only about three feet away from him and his wife, and picked him up and took him away. Now new eyes are examining the abeyta cold case.
"We're slowly moving through the documentation and try to get a feel for what took place," said investigator Dan Corsentino, D.C. Investigations.
Corsentino has now been the case since about July 2013.
"There's always the chance that Christopher could still be alive," said Corsentino.
An age progressed photo is helping investigators showing what Christopher would look like today
"We never, ever realized we'd be doing this for 27 years," said Abeyta.
Countless children have gone missing in that time. That's why Gil and his wife have been traveling the world for "Families of Missing Children International".
"We have brought many kids home," said Abeyta.
But in the back of his mind, I always say I wish it was Christopher, he said.
Nevertheless, his wish keeps his hopes up.
"We're not going to give up. We're going to keep doing it until we die," he said.
The Abeyta's have great hope after learning about those new leads in the Madeiline McCann case. With new investigators, maybe there will be a break in Christopher's disappearance.

Arsène Wenger believes British linesmen are the best in the businesss.
The role of referees' assistants is a hot topic this week following Arsenal's controversial second goal at Newcastle in the Carling Cup on Wednesday night.
Theo Walcott ran from an onside position to score at St. James' Park but Newcastle were dismayed that Nicklas Bendtner was not penalised as he ran back from an offside position.
The linesman did not flag because Bendtner was not deemed to be 'in active play' – a relatively new concept that saw the offside rule updated in 2005.
Some have called for a return to the basic interpretation of offside but Wenger believes linesmen can be trusted to make the right call.
"It [the old rule] was easier for the referee certainly," said Wenger.
"But I must say to their credit that the linesmen have improved tremendously in England to judge the offside decisions.
"I see many games in Europe and I think they get it right in England more than anywhere else."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Your Account
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology is becoming a standard feature of computer systems that support mission-critical services like file sharing, mail exchange, or Web servers. RAID offers two benefits to these essential systems: improved I/O performance and fail-safe data storage.Although bandwidth problems on networks are well documented, the internal data transfer bottleneck that exists at the hardware level in each system can also leave you with perplexing performance issues. RAID is a cost-effective and easy-to-manage way to alleviate this bandwidth problem by distributing the I/O load seamlessly across multiple disks and controllers.RAID also provides uninterrupted data access through disk mirroring and parity algorithms. That means systems can remain online even during a disk or controller failure. RAID is scalable, making it robust enough for large, high-traffic sites and small, critical systems. By using RAID, system administrators can combine single disks into terabytes worth of data storage.Managing RAID on Linux covers everything system administrators need to know to put together a system that can support RAID. You will learn about the different types of RAID, along with associated technologies and issues, and how to choose the best RAID system for your needs. With a step-by-step, hands-on approach, the author guides you through the installation of either Linux software RAID or a hardware RAID card. The book shows how to build an array and optionally install a high-performance file system. Contents include:

RAID on Linux Review
By claude felizardo
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Managing RAID on Linux:
"Managing RAID on Linux" by Derek Vadala is a great intro and reference for understanding and setting up your own Linux RAID system at home or at work. The book does a great job of defining the terminology, covering the various RAID levels and explaining the technology. It covers both software as well as hardware RAID solutions, planning and tuning. The chapter on file systems was informative and the chapter on performance, tuning and maintenance was very useful.This book would have been perfect a few years ago when I was setting up my current home file server which uses a pair of 40 GB drives in a software RAID-1 (mirroring) configuration. Since then, some of my partitions are now nearly full while others have plenty of free space. Rather than repartition, I've decided to build a replacement server with a RAID-5 configuration using three 120 GB drives.While you can try and search the Internet for articles, I prefer reading from hard copy so I value books that do a good job of covering the material. This book came pretty darn close to addressing all of my questions except for one area.At the time I ordered the book, a few people had mentioned "Linux Volume Management" which sounded very interesting. The copy I received was the first edition, dated December 2002, a time when LVM was itself relatively new. As such, there is no mention of LVM in this edition. Granted you'd almost need another book just to cover all of the details of LVM but since it is almost always used in concert with some kind of RAID, I felt the book should have had a section devoted to this important topic. Perhaps a chapter or two on this topic as well as a troubleshooting section could be added in a future edition.The biggest difficulty with producing any book on Linux is that because it is constantly evolving, anything you write about can quickly become dated. I'd recommend this book as a good starting point for anyone interesting in learning about RAID on Linux especially if they come out with a 2nd edition with more info on LVM.

Got these flares thinking they might be a bit of a challenge to install , but within 1 hour i had them mounted on the truck and ready to go. Flares install went super smooth and was not hard at all. Glanced at the instructions once and didn't need to look again. I definitely recommend these flares to anyone who is looking for an Aggressive affordable look that is easy to install and looks amazing. Overall i am very satisfied and with the product and look forward to getting other EGR accessories. I will color match the flares with the truck shortly thing it will give it a more flush look. Planing to look at a 3m flat black wrap in the near future. Thanks for looking guys Suggestions are always nice!! Here are a few pics -

Here's an update:
Okay everyone, I have all the supers totally taken care of. Scraped, stripped, sterilized, and painted. Whew! Plenty of work; but in all, including labor, it cost me about $250 to get the boxes into good shape and ready for bees (minus frames). But WOW, is it good to have them all done and taken care of, and put inside, especially since we are forecasted for a couple inches of rain tomorrow. I have 91 deeps, 38 mediums, 3 shallows, and 1 jumbo in all. A few have frames, but the *big* majority do not. I did get (along with all of this old equipment) a dozen or so telescoping covers and a handful of bottom boards.
Here are some photos:
Here is the pile of frames:

I may yet sort through the frames and save the good ones; I don't know yet. But thanks for your help and thoughts, everyone! It is appreciated more than you know.
You did a nice job they look great !
I agree!!! That's a pretty stack of boxes!! I even like the look of the inside.
Dang good job!

Thanks everyone, I was pleased with the outcome too!
I have salvaged about 470 deep frames. I am scraping them clean and then soaking them in 30% bleach solution for 3 minutes, then setting them out to dry. I am stunned by the outcome. They turned out very well. I feel a lot better about using them now. Here are some pics:

Ben, that was a lot of work. Good job. It is when I think about all the non-bee contact work of running a large commercial apiary that suddenly my job doesn't seem so bad. I'm happy at sideliner status.
isn't too bad if it's done in moderation.
i believe you approached the whole thing in a very reasonable way ben.
not finding any scale in the old comb was huge.
the bleaching and scorching were done well.
now, it's just a matter of careful inspections as you populate those hives.
good work!!

Thanks for sharing this experience with us. Looks like you did well!
I was able to track all this old equipment back to the original owner. I called him and asked him about the history of this equipment: disease, etc. He said, "Why yes, there was AFB in 3 out of those 90 hives. I treated them and it went away; I'd reuse it all if I were you." But I don't want a big risk, so I will just use the boxes, covers, and bottom boards, but I will pitch/burn the frames. Oh well, better safe than sorry.

Will bees swarm/abscond due to Varroa infestation in their hive?
Will bees swarm/abscond due to Varroa infestation in their hive?
The hives just dwindle, there might be (in the end) 20 bees and hand-size of spotty brood left, just before death.
Only the hives in best condition swarm, and they have the least varroa. Varroa is not the cause for swarming. But of course swaming is natures way to get rid of diseases, too.
TF since 2008, max 1 nuc/hive, no swarm collecting, www.saunalahti.fi/lunden/varroakertomus.html, YouTube juhanilunden
Well, the varroa may not make them swarm; however, the small hive beetles that the bees can no longer control due to their (bees') diminished numbers do frequently cause the bees to swarm. I think the more correct term is 'abscond'.
swarming due to varroa no - in fact, swarming can be considered a natural way of controlling varroa population numbers within a colony -the colony swarms for reproductive reasons and creates a brood less period - this also creates a "brood less" period for the mite therefore controlling their numbers. Will they abscond dur to mite - no. Absconding is generally due to heavy outside pressure such as SHB or catastrophes such as the tree falling over or continual disruption by predators. In the case of African bees, bees abscond due to lack of nectar flow.
IF the colony has a heavy mite load after swarming, they will either tolerate it or perish from the stressors of heavy virus load.

to give someone a gift that you originally received as a gift from someone else
a gift that was originally given as a gift to another person
'Given the state of the economy and your bank account, purchasing gifts for certain friends and family may not be possible this holiday season. But no need to worry if that is your situation. Surely you have nice but unused gifts stashed around your home. If so, pull them out to do what in the past might have been unthinkable – regift. More Americans this year are planning on regifting …'Washington Post 29th November 2009
'Ah, the regift. You know you can spot one as soon as you start to unwrap it. You swear it's a tacky practice you'd never participate in. Yet you know just the person who would truly appreciate that zebra-print Designer Snuggie more than you ever could.'Observer-Dispatch 26th November 2009
'The biggest regifters appear to reside in the Black Country with 41 per cent of people in Wolverhampton admitting that they plan to 'pass the parcel' this Christmas.'GMTV 25th November 2009
If the credit crunch continues to bite and you're a bit strapped for cash this Christmas, then look no further than your own four walls for gift-giving inspiration. No, this doesn't mean busily preparing homemade chutneys or carefully crafted needlework. Quite the contrary, it's a practically effortless solution which merely involves rummaging around in drawers and cupboards. Remember that untouched-and-still-in-its-original-box "pasta maker" your sister bought you last year? Now wouldn't it make a great present – for someone else? Go on, grab some wrapping paper, rewrite the label and regift it!
lack of funds … may not be the only motivating factor in the decision to regift. The practice of regifting is also advocated by environmentalist …
Regifting – the practice of giving a gift that you originally received to someone else – is becoming increasingly popular in these recession-struck times. Recent consumer research in the US revealed that more Americans than ever will be recycling presents this year, with around 36% saying that they would consider regifting. The same trend is also evident in the UK, where almost a quarter of Brits are planning to regift unwanted presents.
Lack of funds, however, may not be the only motivating factor in the decision to regift. The practice of regifting is also advocated by environmentalists because it blends seamlessly, both linguistically and ideologically, with the popular mantra: reduce, reuse, recycle … regift.
December 17th has now officially become "Regifting Day" in the US. In an attempt to promote recycling and debt avoidance, the day is the brainchild of debt counselling group Money Management International. This date was thought to be appropriate because the third Thursday in December is a popular day for office Christmas parties, and research suggests that 40% of regifters target their colleagues as recipients of regifts.
So then, what is the art of successful regifting? Essential guidelines include ensuring that the gift is suitable for the new recipient, updating the wrapping and thereby removing all trace of evidence that it was intended for someone else, and keeping track of who gave it to you first so that you never, ever, commit the faux pas of regifting it back to that person!
A quick trawl of the Web reveals plenty of humorous references to regifting misdemeanours. Among my favourites is: "The rice cooker I got from my cousin actually had rice in it. But hey, at least I know it works."
Though the phenomenon of regifting is probably something that has existed since gift-giving began, the lexical gap for a description of this activity was only filled in the mid-nineties. The first use of regift and its derivatives is attributed to the American comedian Jerry Seinfeld. In a 1995 TV show, Superbowl tickets and a label maker were regifted, and the episode took a light-hearted look at the mistakes people make while trying to conceal the fact that something is a regift.
When it first appeared, the phenomenon of regifting took on rather negative overtones due to its association with deception. In more recent years however, against a backdrop of recession, heightened environmental conscience and a surge in popularity of Internet-based selling (e.g. Ebay™), it seems to have become socially acceptable to regift, and the word and its derivatives don't have such negative connotations.

Judges expect to see more bulging muscles than ever in more performers at next week's national kapa haka championships in Rotorua.
The 41-team Te Matatini competition starts on Thursday, the first of three preliminary days before finals for the top nine groups on Sunday.
Gone are the days of the skinny Maori male on stage, jokes Professor Pou Temara who will be part of the panel of scorers marking six compulsory items. Instead, six-packs inspired by those sported two years ago by reigning champions Te Matarae i Orehu will be increasingly part of the performance, especially from other top teams.
"Of course you will see some big, fat Maori and they're never going on a diet. For me that's OK.
"I didn't see too many fat men in Whanau Apanui last time, there were a couple in Te Waka Huia. I expect to see more of the chiselled look, they're all vying for it, even for women there's a particular look."
Professor Temara, an academic at Waikato University, said he saw the lengths performers went to, to achieve.
"Some of these Matarae fellas I teach. I see them walking around with their lunches and it's the same as me and I'm trying to lose weight. It's chicken, the breast, no skin and sliced kumara. That's it. It's amazing."
Te Matarae's whakaeke or entrance song in 2011 set the tone for their whole performance - choreographically dynamic with high intensity moves it grabbed the judges' attention, but it bears remembering that the overall winners still didn't win that category and just pipped perennial favourites Te Waka Huia who weren't as frenetically mobile, Professor Temara said.
"For me it's about excellence."
Eruera Keepa, 25, is a Te Matarae member. Healthy living is a part of his life, but for the last four months he's been sticking to a specific plan. Part of it includes crossfit sessions, where he'll run for a kilometre, followed up by burpees, situps and pushups, a cycle which is repeated by successively decreasing runs plus the exercises, for 800 metres, 600 metres, down to 100 metres.
There's a method to it which helps his performance, he says. "With all that running and burpees and everything what you're trying to do is condition your body and muscles to react at the same intensity. I'm trying to train my muscles to recover faster in between the items.
"You want to give it your all. Our programme demands us to be fit to execute the choreography and moves. We have to be at the best of our ability and that's why we put focus on the fitness side of things because we want to do justice to the stories or whatever we're singing about. It's also because we believe that's how our toa [warriors] looked, our tupuna. They were fit, they were strong and you look at how battles were done in the day - only the strong survived. We're trying to portray that as well."
Professor Temara had a final word for all performers who've clocked up sessions in gyms around the country: "Yes, they look good - but let's see if they can haka."

Where I stayed
Dollywood Vacations Cabins
The countryside was still very green and flat for most of the trip. The railway tracks seemed to be lined with trees with the occasional house and town. It made me want to watch the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" again!
We spent 2 quiet days at Maureen & Neil's house and it was a good chance to catch our breath and get some laundry and blogging done
My youngest sister and her husband (Colleen & Gary) flew in on Saturday and the 6 of us headed West across the Great Smokey Mountains to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Now there is a story about why we headed to this particular place for our time together.... About 20 years ago (when I was single) I spent a week traveling with a New Zealander friend around some of the southern states. We stayed in a hotel in Gatlinburg (very near Pigeon Forge) and I noticed that there was a theme park near there called "Dollywood". You may have worked out that this theme park is owned by Dolly Parton! I'm not a huge Dolly fan, but I thought it would be a hoot to visit the park - my Kiwi friend was not interested in the slightest, so I thought "If I ever get back to that part of the world I'd like to visit Dollywood". So, when we knew that we would have some time to visit Maureen on this trip, we thought we could go there together (it's about a 4 hr drive from Maureen's). Well, Colleen & Gary didn't want to miss out on our time together, so that's how it all came about
Fifty years ago Pigeon Forge was just a sleepy little village - about an hour's drive from Knoxville. Today... well, I hate to say it, but it's a circus. Even Neil called it "Redneck Las Vegas" - but without the casinos and prostitutes. The main road was lined with hundreds of souvenir shops, restaurants, hotels and amusements. I guess you could say that Dollywood was to "blame" for this, but the plus side is that tourism has created a lot of jobs for a lot of people. As you can see, I had mixed feelings about the whole experience.
We stayed in the "Dollywood Vacation Cabins" - the pictures online were beautiful and we were very pleased that they lived up to their advertising. Three story log cabins with all the luxuries you could want. Three bedrooms, 2 spas, computer, wi-fi, cable TV in every room, nice kitchen, pool table, air hockey, pong, Nintendo - who could ask for more? Well, the "more" was million dollar views from the 3 balconies.
On our first morning, Max and I went to Dollywood and the others went to visit Gatlinburg. On the second day we all went to Dollywood. Dollywood is a bit hard to describe - it's an amusement park, but more low-key and green than other parks I've been too. Also, in addition to the mandatory kid's rides, it has a lot of music based shows - so there is a lot for older people to enjoy too. It's kind of nestled in a valley so there are forested hills on either side and a lot of trees in the park, which was a nice atmosphere. And yes, Dolly is everywhere (tho' not "in the flesh" when we were there!), so it helps if you like her style of music. (We're not big fans, but I don't hate it either.) I must say that this is the only theme park I've ever been to where you can hear Southern Gospel music and hymns playing all over the park
Our first afternoon we went to a musical show of 50's and 60's songs and near the end of the performance we heard thunder... but we thought it was just a part of the show. When we left a few minutes later we were shocked to see that the sky was black (about 6pm in early summer) and rain was pelting down. There must have been very high winds just before we came out too because there was debris all over including many broken trees. This was the tail end of the storms that caused such havoc and tragedy further north in Missouri and other places.
On our second day Colleen, Gary and Maureen wanted a bit more "action" so opted for doing a zipline through the forest (like a "flying fox" for all you Aussies). They enjoyed it though it was a bit more strenuous than they anticipated! Max and I went to a gospel quartet group show and we all enjoyed having a look at the mountain crafts of woodworking, musical instruments, leatherwork, etc. If you'd like to see more about Dollywood just click this link:
We left Pigeon Forge on Tuesday - Maureen & Neil took the rest of us to the airport at Knoxville for our flights home
This week has been spent washing laundry and taking care of preparations for our next adventure - 4 weeks traveling through the western states and visiting many national parks.

Reviews of this property
Before our visit we had a good email correspondance with the owner Roman.
We never saw Roman, but got our key from a shop owner in the same building as the apartment.
The wiev from the apartment is absolutely breathtaking, and worth all the 125 steps we had to climb before entering the aparment.
The apartment itself is sadly another story.
The lights on the staircase didn`t work, so we had to use mobilephone light to reach the apartment.
Inside everything needed a very good cleaning, becaus everywhere it was dirty and full of dust.. Especially the windows and lamps were dirty - we couldn`t see out !
The refridgerator was a laugh. It was broken inside, and couldn`t even hold two bottles of water.
The television didn`t work, and neither did the radio.
The radiator in the bathroom was dripping water all the time, so the floor was constantly wet. The waterpressure was nonexistent, and the showercurtain was about to fall down - only held by one screw.
The quality of the foam mattresses were very poor - old and flat.
It`s a shame that the owner didn`t make the effort to raise the standard, because this apartment could really be a fantastic place to live, with a little tender love and care...and a lot of cleaning.
Nice stay. Apartment is very central located. All improtant sights can be reached by foot. Small corner shop right across the street. Enough space for 4 People. Apartment need a little refurbishment. Especially the window seals. For an non professional advertiser clean location. We could leave our baggage at the store below the flat before we went home. Look forward to spend another holiday here.
The apartment is located in the best area of the city, just off the Old Town Square, and the views are magnificent. As we arrived we struggled to climb 5 floors without a lift, but the views really worthwhile. Regarding the apartment is relatively large, with space even for 6-7 people, since it has two beds (one double) in the living room, another small on the mezzanine and another one double room. The only but clean, and the occasional spider we found.
El apartamento está ubicado en la mejor zona de la ciudad, justo al lado de la Plaza de la Ciudad Vieja, y las vistas son magníficas. Según llegamos nos costó subir las 5 plantas sin ascensor, pero las vistas merecen realmente la pena. Respecto al apartamento es relativamente grande, con espacio incluso para 6-7 personas, puesto que tiene dos camas (una de ellas doble) en el salón, otra pequeña en el altillo y otra mas doble en la habitación. El único pero la limpieza, y alguna que otra araña que nos encontramos.
We had a great time in Prague. Ideally located, the apartment is very convenient to wander around Prague.
Roman was very helpful during our stay. I will happily come again to stay ag his apartment during my next visit.
The appartment has an absolutely brilliant location. we were a group of 3 people and had plenty of space. only the shower wasn't good (no courtain and very small).
i can recommend this place for almost everybody, if they are willing to step up the 100+ stairs.
Cosy apartment with AMAZING views !! Perfect location! A little hard to lug the luggage up all the stairs. Met not Roman, only two young men in the shop on the ground floor! Got first assigned an apartment on the fourth floor with no view! Called the Roman and after a few hours, we had the opportunity we had bestilt- it should just be cleaned! A little worn; but the charm and the view made it nothing meant !!
Hyggelig lejlighed med FANTASTISK udsigt!! Perfekt beliggenhed! Lidt hårdt at slæbe bagagen op af alle trapperne. Mødte ikke Roman, kun to unge mænd i butikken i stueetagen! Fik først anvist en lejlighed på 4. etage uden udsigt! Ringede til Roman og efter nogle timer, fik vi den lejlighed vi havde bestilt- den skulle lige gøres ren! Lidt slidt; men hyggen og udsigten gjorde, at det intet betød!!
Dear Roman,
we can this apartment Recommend good. The main advantage is its so central location directly at the Old Town Square. The Wonung was clean and tidy. The very many stairs to her (122 steps) we have highly regarded sporting addition.
Thank you once again and determined

Lieber Roman,
wir können diese Wohnung gut weiterempfehlen. Der Hauptvorteil ist ihre so zentrale Lage unmittelbar am Altstädter Platz. Die Wonung war sauber und ordentlich. Die sehr vielen Treppen hoch zu ihr (122 Stufen) haben wir sportliche Zugabe betrachtet.
Vielen Dank und bestimmt einmal wieder
Peter König, Berlin
The apartments were really really well located, right next to Old Square. The only thing we didn't like was the refrigerator was really small and in the bathroom.
We were in the fall of 2013 to 5 in this apartment.
The apartment is really in a great location, and it really is all easy to reach on foot.
The apartment is quite large and has 5 good enough for us in any case from the court.
What is not very good, the bed was directly under the roof which can be reached by stairs, it was there quite dusty and there none of us wanted to sleep.
Other downside are the stairs, you have to really ever run through the stairwell to get to the apartment.
However, the class prospect makes you out of the apartment up for it.
Wir waren im Herbst 2013 zu 5 in dieser Wohnung.
Die Wohnung ist wirklich in einer Tollen Lage, und es ist wirklich alles einfach zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Die Wohnung ist relativ groß und hat uns zu 5 auf jeden fall vom Platz gut gereicht.
Was nicht besonders gut ist, war das bett direkt unter dem Dach das durch die Treppe erreichbar ist, es war dort relativ Staubig und dort schlafen wollte keiner von uns.
Sonstiger Minuspunkt sind die Treppen, man muss wirklich ewig durch das Treppenhaus laufen um zur Wohnung zu gelangen.
Allerdings macht die Klasse Aussicht die man von der Wohnung aus hat das wieder wett.

Frequently Asked Questions: Implementing Nonanimal Training Methods in U.S. Military Medical Courses
Frequently Asked Questions: Implementing Nonanimal Training Methods in U.S. Military Medical Courses
Q: What does this medical training entail?
A: In U.S. military combat trauma training courses, instructors attempt to replicate combat trauma injuries on live pigs and goats. The animals are subjected to severe injuries, including stab wounds, gunshot wounds, burns, and amputations, before being killed.
Q: Who receives this training?
A: Much of the U.S. military's combat trauma training is for medics and corpsmen, with a significant amount of training also for physicians, physician assistants, other military medical personnel, and nonmedical service members deployed to combat zones.
Q: Where does this training take place?
A: Combat trauma training courses using animals occur on at least 15 U.S. military facilities, including Fort Bragg and Fort Sam Houston, as well as facilities run by private contractors such as Assessment and Training Solutions, Deployment Medicine International, and Tier 1 Group.
Q: Don't military medical personnel need to train with living tissue in order to best prepare for battlefield injuries?
A: The use of goats and pigs for combat trauma training is suboptimal due to, among other issues, the animals' anatomical differences from humans. Compared with humans, goats and pigs have smaller torsos and limbs, thicker skin, and important differences in anatomy of the head and neck, internal organs, rib cage, blood vessels, and airway. While some will claim that live tissue is the only way to simulate the emotional stress of working on a living being, new medical simulators can recreate that stressful situation while providing human anatomy.
Q: What training methods should replace the current use of animals?
A: The most important elements of combat trauma training are realism, human-specific injuries and treatments, volume of trauma exposure, and team building. The ideal training paradigm combines medical simulators and immersive simulated combat environments. Simulators like those seen here could replace the use of live animals and provide a better training experience for our troops.
Q: Aren't medical simulators expensive?
A: From a financial standpoint it makes sense to replace live animal use with training methods such as medical simulators. Many military spending figures are not available to PCRM, but civilian institutions that have replaced animal labs report a cost savings. This is in large part because human-based training methods do not come with the numerous costs associated with using animals, such as purchasing animals, paying veterinary staff, buying anesthetics, and disposing of carcasses.
Q: How many animals are used each year for this type of training?
A: The U.S. military's combat trauma training courses use and kill more than 6,000 goats and pigs each year.
Q: Aren't the animals fully anesthetized during these procedures?
A: While animals are given anesthesia, pigs are known to develop hyperthermia and a variety of abnormal physiological responses when given anesthesia and also are susceptible to fatal ventricular fibrillation. In addition, animals are subjected to the trauma of continued confinement, shipping, preparation, and experimentation.
Q: Aren't there animal welfare regulations in place?
A: Unfortunately the Department of Defense and its components are in violation of DoD Instruction 3216.01, Use of Animals in DoD Programs. The instruction mandates that "methods other than animal use and alternatives to animal use (i.e., methods to refine, reduce, or replace the use of animals) shall be considered and used whenever possible to attain the objectives of . . . training if such alternative methods produce scientifically or educationally valid or equivalent results."
Q: Hasn't the use of live animals for this training reduced battlefield fatalities?
A: In 2009, the Department of Defense's own medical experts reported that animal use in military trauma training has never been comprehensively evaluated and was merely a long-standing routine. Any improved outcomes on the battlefield are much more likely a result of improved body armor and widespread use of tourniquets than of the use of pigs and goats in training.
Further, in a March 29, 2009, Baltimore Sun article, Ronald F. Bellamy, M.D., one of the Army's leading authorities on combat casualty statistics, claimed that the overall death rate for wounded soldiers has not improved over historical measures. More wounded are surviving to reach hospitals (attributed to the use of body armor, not field medical care as claimed by the military). But a higher percentage are dying after reaching hospitals (attributed to the severity of injuries). Dr. Bellamy states that combat casualty statistics reveal "almost nothing about the quality of medical care," and further states that "[t]he notion of a quantum improvement in medically related survival is a myth."

Sibling names for Malcolm Allen and Alison Catherine
Due in March and my other kids are both named after family. I love Malcolm but I wish Alison (Ali) was a little more uncommon. I want to stick with the classic name theme but not have it been in the top 100. Toying with the idea of Edward as a first or middle name but would rather a nod towards Edward rather then the actual name. Totally clueless when it comes to girl names. I like Josephine a lot and am considering Eleanor but DH isn't sold on ANY of them. We're keeping the gender a secret so I need a name for each! Thank you!

Local couple transforms downed trees into works of art
Lowland, Pamlico County - Tina Wood and Danny Malone spend their days splitting, sawing, and sanding chunks of downed trees into original works of art. All of their custom creations are displayed at their shop on Goose Creek Island called Island Art and Sign.
"My favorite part is the end result, what it's going to look like in the end and actually showing that its turning into something, you know?" said Tina Wood.
Wood and Malone started turning their creations into a business when Hurricane Irene blew through. The storm provided piles of downed trees, which they use to create wooden turtles, bears and birds and more.
"It's all recycled wood from the hurricane. When Irene hit it was a bad time around here, but it helped us in a way," says Wood.
Danny Malone air brushes and paints. Wood says his ideas are the catalyst to some of the carvings she makes.
"He's an inspiration to me. I can see what he can do with his artwork and stuff, his airbrushing, the details in it and stuff, and it inspires me," says Wood.
Now with the addition of a saw mill, the couple can begin to make bigger pieces with fewer limitations.
Coincidentally, an old saw mill used to be at the exact same location that Island Art and Sign currently is.

We had an excellent stay at Olga's studio. Andrey, the housekeeper is very obliging and flexible. He will take care of your concerns. The location of the appartment is great. Within three minutes you reach the tube Station Queeen's Park from where you are able to reach all the important sights in London in a short period of time. With Little Venice, a lovely place and an insider's tip is only three stops away. All in all I can highly recommend Olga's studio.
As already stated last year, we took the studio again for good reasons:
It is perfectly situated near Queens Park at the Bakerloo line within zone 2. Supermarkets, Pubs, banks, restaurants ... everything you need is within walking distance. The equipment is as listed on the website, everything clean and in good function.
The window is a bit small, but it is directed to the back garden, so you don`t get all the noise from the street and the nearby railway.
Andrew, the housekeeper was again very friendly and helpfull. Although we were delayed at the arrival, he was there within minutes after a phone call.
Since I was (again) travelling with my daughter, I like the fact, that it`s got two seperate beds, both large enough very comfortable.
Again we enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to the next visit.
Great location! Bit small but enough fo 2 people. Just missed a dinning table, the rest was perfect. 100% recommended.
4 nights in the studio number 4! Olga answered quickly to all our messages. It was a pleasure to stay few days in this flat. Hot and very well equipped flat. We were near the station Queen's Park and many shops, café, pub....
Thank you Olga and Andrey the Housekeeper
Since we didn`t meet Olga herself, I can only judge her housekeeper, whose name I`m afraid, I don`t recall. He met us at our arrival at the appointed time, gave us the keys and explained about the flat and the surroundings, like where to find a supermarket. I found him to be very friendly, polite and helpfull.
When (not if) I will visit London again, I would certainly want to stay in this flat again. I can honestly recommend it. (On second thougths, maybe I shouldn`t recommend it too strongly, in case it`s occupied when I want it next time ;-)
located just out of the center of Londen, with trains, tube and busstops really just right around the corner this is a perfect place to use when you want to visit all the different parts of this large city. We could walk to Portobello road and Nottinghill in just over half an hour, and we went from Greenwich to Camden Town Market by tube or bus.
The beds were fine, the room itself small, but fine, and well equiped with shower and WC, hairdryer, and a small tv. The cooking facilities include an oven and a larger Fridge, including freezer. There is even a washing machine, if you need to wash cloth. And last but not least the warden is a very kind man. All in all we enjoyed our stay and definitely will visit again!
Room has everything you expect for the price and good convenient location. Would be happy to stay again.
Very close to to the underground station, and several bus stop. The apartment was as we had seen in the photographs; comfortable, clean, and well equiped. The personal is very kind and available. Most probably next time we will stay here.
The room was very tidy and clean. It is the exact room as shown in the pictures.
Very nice opportunity to stay in London. very sad that Olga was on vocation. I'd love to meet her

Really nice studio with super bed and bath and a well-equipped miniature kitchen. Clean, comfy and in a quiet neighbourghood. Short walk to trams (10 minutes to Leidse Plein), local restaurants and supermarkets. Thanks for having us, Marloes & Gabriel :-)
Marloes & Gabriel are a wonderful couple that do everything in their power to ensure their guests have an enjoyable stay. Their apartment is both clean and well appointed with luxury fittings. Really enjoyed the elevation bed and coffee machine. It's situated in a quiet residential area with a park and lake and only a few minutes walk to the closest tram station. Another bonus in a big city is being able to park the car in a safe environment. Here we had our own parking space right ourside the door. My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful 6 night stay and wouldn't hesitate recommending this apartment to others.
We had a short and comfortable stay. Malores and Gabriel were very welcoming and even met us at the railway station and dropped us off there at the end even though it's not a very long walk away. The apartment is impeccably clean and the kitchen well-equipped. There's tea, coffee and all you need for cooking simple meals and at least two supermarkets nearby. The neighborhood is quiet with a park. Our son saw bunnies out of the window two evenings in a row.
I cannot even begin to thank Gabriel and Marloes - but first let me talk about their apartment!
Apartment was situated 20mins off the main city, is super close to the airport and located in a tranquil and serene environment. You will look out to see a huge park, the neighbourhood is quiet but friendly. I think its ideal to come back to this house after a day in the city. The room was tidy and made up of state of the art furniture and kitchen appliances (the bed is of top notch quality) - we fell in love with this place and I am sure you would too! Gabriel is an exceptional host - in fact, best host i have interacted with in my previous 15 airbnb/wimdu travels, i will elaborate more later..! YOU WILL LOVE THIS APARTMENT SO BOOK NOW!
Now back to Gabriel - so on the second day of my travels, my partner was unfortunately robbed. His passport was stolen amongst other personal belongings so we couldn't fly out to Nice the next day (ps Gabriel orginally also offered to send us to the airport at 4.30am - such a kind soul!). On hearing that we were robbed Gabriel had been nothing but kind and generous.
1) The Singapore Embassy was located in Brussels and he offered to send us to there - that's a 3-4 hours car ride from Amsterdam!.
2) At Brussels, he drove us to several places just to get the passport photo printed out (a requirement from the Embassy) - we felt so bad, but he did it with a kind and fatherly heart
3) After whirling around the city to look for a instant photobooth, we finally got one and he dropped us at the Embassy.
Gabriel was God-sent. Literally an angel sent from God to us in our time of despair. In our car ride to Brussels we learnt so much about Gabriel, his past, his new plans.. you need to hear it from him yourself! (I hope you don't get into the same predicament as us of course!). But through this experience, I am really very glad that we met Gabriel, we saw his heart for his family, his children and his guests, we saw and felt love from him and of course we had a comfortable and super awesome stay at Gabriel's!
Thanks Gabriel for your hospitality and for assisting us in every way possible, you are The One person who changed our entire trip and made it so memorable , we will always be indebted to you. If ever you are coming to Singapore, please let us know, we will bring you and your family around!
Great apartment, very nice hosts, very friendly and helpful. Best place in town. When I will be next time in Amsterdam-same apartment! Thank you Marleos & Gabriel
We were staying at Marloes & Gabriel place for two night we wish we could stay longer if we knew earlier. Marloes welcomed us with nice cold drink and Gabriel was very generous in offering us a lift to the airport as we have 4 large luggage. I personally love Amsterdam and enjoy staying at Marloes & Gabriel place. the place is very clean with comfortable bed plus nice scenery of the park nearby. close to supermarket and Indonesian restaurants which I like the most! when we have the opportunity to visit Amsterdam, will be staying at Marloes and Gabriel again. they both lovely people!
Marloes and Gabriel are great people and the best hosts you can have! very friendly, service minded and flexible. Refund of one cancelled night was no problem and they borrowed me one of their bikes for free, helped me to find my way in amsterdam etc. The apartment is great for 1-2 persons, very fresh with all the equipment you may need and with a quiet location, still with the centre within comfortable reach.
Highly recommended!
Dear Marloes, dear Gabriel,
thank you very much for having such a nice and warm welcome in your house. We had a beautiful, interesting and relaxed stay in Amsterdam. And also a lot of fun driving around with your very good bicycles. Thanks a lot.
Hope to see you again on our next trip to Amsterdam.
With best regards
Beate &Mailin
We were 4 days in Amsterdam, during Valentine's day, and Marloes and Gabriel were the best hosts ever. We travel a lot in Europe, but here we felt the best. The villa is located in a fanstastic area, the backyard is a park, in the morning ywe waked up and we felt as in paradise. The apartment is very stylish furnished, and has all it need for comfort. The acces to and from the airport or downtown is very easy and quick, near by are also some restaurants and supermarkets. The owners were very kind, Gabriel pick us up from the Central Station at the arrival and drop us to the train at departure, and during our stay we became buddies. We will be back there 100%. Thank you, Marloes and Gabriel for everything. Dragos & Roxana

The American Civil Liberties Union, a Washington-based legal organization, has been monitoring the government's reports about the list of suspected terrorists and says today that the list reached one million names.
"Members of Congress, nuns, war heroes and other 'suspicious characters,' with names like Robert Johnson and Gary Smith, have become trapped in the Kafkaesque clutches of this list, with little hope of escape," said Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "Congress needs to fix it, the Terrorist Screening Center needs to fix it, or the next president needs to fix it, but it has to be done soon."
Fredrickson and Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU's Technology and Liberty Program, spoke today along with two victims of the watch list: Jim Robinson, former assistant attorney general for the Civil Division who flies frequently and is often delayed for hours despite possessing a governmental security clearance and Akif Rahman, an American citizen who has been detained and interrogated extensively at the U.S.-Canada border when traveling for business.
"America's new million record watch list is a perfect symbol for what's wrong with this administration's approach to security: it's unfair, out-of-control, a waste of resources, treats the rights of the innocent as an afterthought, and is a very real impediment in the lives of millions of travelers in this country," said Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU Technology and Liberty Program. "It must be fixed without delay."
"Putting a million names on a watch list is a guarantee that the list will do more harm than good by interfering with the travel of innocent people and wasting huge amounts of our limited security resources on bureaucratic wheel-spinning," said Steinhardt. "I doubt this thing would even be effective at catching a real terrorist."
