Was it mutiny, or did common sense prevail at Firebase Pace? Were the actions of the infantry units assigned to Firebase Pace further evidence of an Army in collapse or an Army that could still get the job done? Another case of uncensored news reporting? Read what happened and then you decide.
In early March 1971, a Harris Poll found a majority of Americans believed the war in Vietnam to be "morally wrong." Later that month an Americal Division armored cavalry unit refused orders to secure a downed helicopter, and shortly thereafter accusations of carelessness and drug use swirled around one of the Army's most embarrassing defeats of the war at Firebase Mary Ann. Meanwhile, 2nd Lt. William Calley was convicted for his role in the My Lai massacre, the Pentagon reported an alarming increase in the incidence of fragging and estimated that some 30,000 GIs in Vietnam were drug addicts, Vietnam veterans famously threw their decorations over the White House fence in antiwar protests, and the Pentagon Papers rocked the nation. In a June Armed Forces Journal article, retired Marine Colonel Robert Heinl wrote about an army in "a state approaching collapse." It was in this context that an isolated garrison along the Cambodian border, Fire Support Base Pace, came under siege in October 1971.
The events that transpired at Pace immediately became an international sensation, emblematic of a force that conservative columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak claimed many officers believed constituted "nothing less than a national disgrace."
In an excerpt from his new book, Soldiering on in a Dying War, Ohio State University professor of public policy William Shkurti, a Vietnam veteran who had served at Firebase Lanyard (a mile from Firebase Pace) nine months before the famous events there, digs deeper into the actual motivations and performance of the units and men involved at Pace.
In the 1970 movie Kelly's Heroes, Donald Sutherland plays a lethargic, unkempt GI named Oddball, somewhere in France in 1944. When asked by another GI, played by Telly Savalas, why he and his tank had avoided combat for four months while his comrades fought their way from the Normandy beachhead, Oddball smirks,"We see our mission as essentially defensive in nature . . . we are holding ourselves in reserve in case the Krauts mount a counteroffensive which threatens Paris…or maybe even New York." It is often said that movies say more about the time they were made than anything else. Add a reefer and a peace medallion and Oddball would have easily fit the image many Americans had of the 1970–1971 American GI in Vietnam—dirty, undisciplined, hippiefied and combat averse.
This kind of soldier (or nonsoldier) is what retired Marine Colonel Robert Heinl wrote about in his June 1971 Armed Forces Journal article. "By every conceivable indicator, our Army that now remains in Vietnam is in a state approaching collapse, with individual units avoiding or having refused combat, murdering their officers and non-commissioned officers, drug-ridden, and dispirited where not near mutinous," Heinl charged. This point of view was shared by some still on active duty in the Army. Brigadier General Theodore Mataxis, who had led troops both in Vietnam and Korea, declared:"It's been the opposite of Korea. There we went in with a bad army and came out with a good one. In Vietnam we went in with a good army and came out with a bad one."
As combat draws to a close, soldiers turn skittish about risking their lives in what appears to be a foregone conclusion. This was true in Vietnam, but not only in Vietnam. One such case occurred in February 1945 about 90 days before the end of the war in Europe.
In Band of Brothers, Stephen Ambrose chronicles the story of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, one of the best and most highly decorated group of soldiers in World War II. But, when ordered to run a risky night reconnaissance patrol across the Moder River near Haguenau, a patrol the company commander considered suicidal, they elected to fake the patrol (what would be later called "ghosting" in Vietnam). Afterward some of the men got drunk and got into a fight. No reporters were around, so the excellent reputation of the unit remained intact.
The lingering stalemate in Korea provides an even better example. Peace talks dragged on for two years before an armistice was signed, a process that cynical GIs dubbed "die for a tie." But Heinl and other critics claimed the problem was worse in Vietnam, "by several orders of magnitude," as Heinl put it. Not everyone agreed. An unnamed Army officer interviewed by Washington Post reporter Peter Jay in the aftermath of the refusals of troops at Firebase Pace to go on patrols explained it this way: "Obviously, no one wants to be the last man killed here," he said. "No one wants to take risks in a cause the country's given up on. Of course there are incidents. But the jobs are still being done."
Job still being done or Army on the verge of collapse? Which of these two alternate realities better describes what was happening on the ground at Firebase Pace in September and October 1971? And what does it tell us about the state of the ground forces in Vietnam at the time, and about why soldiers fight or don't?
Myra MacPherson attempted to address those questions in her 1984 book, Long Time Passing: Vietnam and the Haunted Generation. After referring to Firebase Pace as an "insurrection," she laid out the following statistics in support of her description of a military in "disarray." She argued that a 1971 random group of Army soldiers would produce: seven acts of desertion; 17 AWOL incidents; 20 frequent marijuana smokers; 10 regular narcotics users; two discipline charges; 18 lesser punishments; and 12 complaints to Congressmen.
MacPherson cites as her source David Cortright's 1975 book, Soldiers in Revolt: GI Resistance During the Vietnam War.
Cortright draws his information from a series of congressional hearings, much from Pentagon testimony, and uses it to conclude that as many as one-fourth of all enlisted men "engaged in some form of rebellion against military authority."While the presentation of information in this way might be an eye-catching way of making a point, it can also be extremely misleading. What Cortright makes clear, but MacPherson does not, is that these figures are Army-wide averages. They include not only GIs serving in Vietnam but also soldiers in Europe and the United States—and trainees who are likely to have higher incidences of AWOL and discipline failure.
What averages of this nature also do is mask important differences between units or groups of units. Combat in Vietnam was often on the small unit (company or platoon) level,where unit leadership and the unique circumstances of that time and place were much more meaningful than Army-wide averages. For example, the 23rd Artillery Group Operational Report/Lessons Learned for the period ending October 31,1971,lists 37 men wounded between April and October, or an annualized loss of about 1.5 per 100. So, an average 23rd Group Artillery Battery would face one or two soldiers wounded a year due to enemy action in this period.What these averages don't show is that 30 of these 37 losses occurred in Charlie Battery 2-32nd over 27 days in September and October at Firebase Pace, or an annualized rate 270 times higher, at 406 per 100.
The profile of units still in harm's way in Vietnam presents a very different picture from MacPherson's or Cortright's Army wide averages, in part because they were more experienced soldiers, and in part because they faced a tangible enemy. Frontline soldiers in Vietnam had a powerful incentive to stay focused on the job at hand and be protective of each other, regardless of the political context.
This evidence strongly suggests that the grunts at Pace, and in the rest of the 3d Brigade, were not at war with themselves anywhere near the degree Heinl, MacPherson and Cortright suggest. Looked at in isolation, these figures do not tell us what these soldiers were doing (or not doing) in terms of accomplishing their mission of protecting American units and installations while the withdrawal continued.
The first place to look for this information are the records the Army kept on the activities of the infantry units assigned to protect Fire Support Base Pace. Those documents provide almost a day-by-day, hour-by-hour record of what went on. The infantry's mission in protecting Pace can best be described as follows:
Defending the perimeter in the event of a ground attack. Fortunately, this never occurred, so it is not known how they would have responded.
Defending the base with indirect fire from the companys' mortars. A two-mortar section from E Company stayed at Pace for the entire period, firing both high explosive and illuminating rounds as needed. The crews working the 4.2-inch mortars at Pace operated in an open pit with no overhead cover, thus exposing themselves to enemy incoming fire, much like the artillery crews. This part of the mission was clearly fulfilled.
Conducting reconnaissance patrols outside the perimeter wire in order to detect possible enemy movement and enemy intentions. These important patrols allowed the garrison to prepare for whatever came their way. They also caused the most controversy.
All four line companies of the 1-12th Cavalry spent time at Pace from September 24 to October 22, 1971. Charlie Company arrived first but spent only one day at Pace before being sent to FSB Katum. The other three companies spent significant time at Pace and left a verifiable record of what they did or did not do.
Alpha Company defended Pace for 14 days, from September 24 through October 7, when some of the most intense enemy activity took place. Alpha ran at least three patrols outside the perimeter wire over this period. Differences between Alpha Company's leadership and the artillery commanders at Pace surfaced over the frequency and aggressiveness of these patrols, but at least some patrols were conducted. There were no refusals, and at least eight members of the company suffered wounds from shrapnel during their stay at Pace.
Alpha rotated out on October 7, replaced by Bravo Company. On October 9, six members of Bravo Company refused to go out on a night ambush. Aggressive reconnaissance is a standard expectation of defenders of any fixed position like a firebase. It keeps potential attackers off guard and provides defenders advance warning of possible enemy activity. The members of Bravo Company did not object to reconnaissance for defensive purposes, but to this particular mission, which they saw as needlessly risky.
In addition, bad weather conditions that night made it chancy, at best, to count on helicopters for fire support, delivery of supplies or medical evacuation. More important, the men had legitimate concerns about the wisdom of the mission. The 1-12th was a veteran unit that instinctively knew what made sense and what didn't. Going out at night in small numbers with 1,500 enemy troops in the area, over unfamiliar terrain littered with unmarked booby traps and without adequate support, was unusually risky. In fact, Maj. Gen. Jack Wagstaff, talking about the incident, seemed somewhat sympathetic. Speaking with a reporter two days after Pace was evacuated, he said:"They were trained in air mobile tactics in which when a unit gets in trouble there are always reinforcements available. Their reinforcements at Pace were the Vietnamese, who fought damn well there. But it took them some time to get used to operating away from their own battalions."
Three of the individuals directly involved in the temporary refusal on October 9—Sergeant Nick Demas, Sergeant Walter Wernli and Spc. 4 Ernest French—were veteran soldiers with good records. They all raised the issue of the unmarked Claymore mines as a major concern. Staff Sergeant Paul Cibolski, who was an experienced soldier, confirmed their existence prior to the patrol being sent out. Cibolski's warning turned out to be justified when the patrol came across a string of Claymores the next day. Captain Robert Cronin realized this and wisely canceled the mission. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the concerns raised prior to the mission came from veteran soldiers wary of unnecessary risks, not mutineers interested in shirking their duty.
What Bravo Company did before and after its appearance at Pace is informative as well. Presumably, if this were a collection of slackers and malcontents, some signs would have surfaced before the refusal. Even more likely, once these soldiers had crossed the line, disobeyed an order and not been punished, the shirkers should have the upper hand and more refusals would follow. The record indicates the opposite. From May through September 1971, Bravo Company was out in the field regularly. Its troops operated from seven major firebases and a host of mini bases in Long Khanh Province and uncovered 20 tons of flour in a four-day period. In the first week of September, Bravo Company clashed with enemy soldiers on three occasions, with five members of the company wounded by enemy fire.
Another perspective on the status of the grunts at Pace comes from the October 12 report from Major William Tozer, inspector general of the 1st Cavalry Division's 3d Brigade.After visiting Pace on October 11, and talking with the soldiers involved, Major Tozer concluded there was no combat refusal on October 9 or 10.
Tozer went on to make some other helpful observations. He noted that the soldiers involved were"intelligent, concerned and willing to discuss the matter openly," which is not the mark of a gang of conspirators or heavy drug users. Also, because of poor weather on October 9, a soldier who had been lightly wounded with a head injury was not medevaced until the next day, which some of the troops misinterpreted as a lack of support.
The men of Bravo were not of one mind as to how far they would have gone had they received a direct order to go. Some clearly would have gone; some were more reluctant. This observation is consistent with the recollection of 1st Lt. Richard Coreno, the leader of 2d Platoon, whose members initiated the letter to Senator Edward Kennedy. Coreno, who disagreed with Captain Cronin on the merits of this particular mission, felt some of the discussion among the enlisted men was "just talk." Griping is a longtime soldier prerogative, especially among the infantry. According to Tozer,"When I talked with them collectively, they were considerably more defiant than when I had private conversations with them."
Finally, Tozer pointed out that approximately 85 of the GIs in Bravo Company were scheduled to rotate back to the States within 60 days. If one-year tours were distributed evenly during the year, a company-sized unit would expect only 15 to 20 men to be short 60 days or less. Although Major Tozer didn't say it in so many words, short-timers fever had to be at play here. Soldiers who have endured a lot and have the end of their peril in sight are much less likely to take risks.
After leaving Pace on October 12, Bravo Company was back out in the field on a night ambush north of Xuan Loc. There were no reports of combat refusals or other disciplinary issues. It is probably more than coincidence that although both Bravo and Delta Companies ran patrols in their 13 days at Pace, no effort was made to resurrect a night ambush, which implies that their commanders recognized this was not a good idea in the first place.
Then there is the issue of the letter/petition to Senator Kennedy. An open letter to an elected official from a line combat unit questioning strategy is very unusual, even in the contentious political environment of the Vietnam War. Sixty-six members of Bravo Company signed the letter, including many of the company's junior NCOs.
The reference to"defensive role"in the letter was not a creation of the petition's authors. At least some of the troops were aware of the public relations offensive President Richard Nixon and Defense Secretary Melvin Laird began in January 1971 about how America's combat role would be ending by May 1. "I don't want to mislead anyone," Secretary Laird said in a January press conference in Bangkok."There will still be United States combat forces there (in South Vietnam) but their assignment will not be a combat responsibility as such (emphasis added). It will be primarily a security responsibility."It came up again in August, just two months before events at Pace reached a boiling point. On August 6, the Pacific Edition of Stars and Stripes carried an Associated Press story with Laird elaborating on a Nixon statement the day before, in which the president said that U.S. troops"are frankly just defending areas which we occupy."
"Phase I of the Vietnamization program has been virtually completed with the President's announcement that U.S. ground forces had moved into defensive positions,"Laird explained, under the headline:"GI Combat Role in Vietnam Nearly Ended—Laird." This had to raise the level of cynicism among those soldiers, including the ones at Pace, who were still being shot at on a daily basis when their combat role was supposed to be nearly ended.
The letter to Senator Kennedy initiated with Grana and members of 2d Platoon, but the refusal itself began with French and members of the 3d Platoon. Although members of 3d Platoon did sign the letter, these men maintain they did not object to going out on patrol per se but to the specifics of this patrol, particularly the unmarked Claymores. Their platoon leader seemed to agree. "There's no doubt in my mind that if an order came down they would have gone," Lieutenant Shuler later told Stars and Stripes. The fact that men from 3d Platoon, including French, Demas and Wernli, did go out on patrol the next day (although reluctantly) also supports Shuler's interpretation. Members of 2d Platoon were more outspoken about the mission in general, did not volunteer to go out on patrol the next day, and some maintain they were unwilling to go under any circumstances, but they did participate in future missions.
Concerns over a disconnect between what administration officials were describing to the people back home and what the GIs saw happening to them and to their comrades was not limited to Bravo Company. Specialist 4 Paul White, a draftee and a May 1970 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro joined Delta Company, 1-12th Cavalry in May 1971. He was the battalion's chief radio telephone operator by the time he arrived at Pace along with Delta Company in October. White was so incensed by Secretary Laird's September 3 statements regarding the diminished combat role of U.S. ground troops that he wrote the secretary a personal letter. He did receive a reply from Maj. Gen. Donnelly P. Bolton, director of operations. However, he did not find the letter persuasive. "It was really disgusting to me," he wrote his parents on September 25.
General Bolton's reply did correctly emphasize that the overall level of combat activity had declined for U.S. troops, but also acknowledged that the statement that Americans had relinquished all combat roles to the South Vietnamese was incorrect. Even though the actions of Bravo Company generated support from other GIs at Pace and elsewhere, not everyone in Bravo Company, or in any of the other units, were all of one mind regarding the wisdom of the war, or the strategy to fight it. With the American public split over conduct of the Vietnam War, it should not be surprising that its soldiers possessed differing views as well. But one thing soldiers inVietnam and civilians at home shared in common, whether they supported the war or not, was a belief that the country's politicians and senior leaders had mismanaged the war.
Looking back, Grana wonders if their letter escalated what would have been a family disagreement into more than it needed to be. "We were willing to take on Cronin, but not the whole Army,"he recalls."Without the letter it could have been resolved."
Delta Company, the unit flown in to replace Bravo Company on October 12, soon found itself part of a similar controversy. Delta had been out in the field regularly since June. Just two days earlier, they had uncovered 3,000 pounds of flour stored near FSB Round Rock in Binh Duong Province. Delta participated in a temporary combat refusal of its own on October 13 after rescuing two helicopter pilots the day before. This time it involved a daylight mission to secure a tree line just east of the base so that resupply helicopters could take off and land safely—a much more straightforward defensive mission than a night ambush. The soldiers involved acknowledged that they had heard about Bravo's refusal four days earlier.
At this point, the situation at Pace came closest to unraveling into a contagion of rebellion. If Delta refused to follow orders, it left their commanders with a series of unpleasant choices—courtmartial the men and/or replace them with yet another unit and run the risk of a spreading insurrection, all under the glare of national publicity. Finally, Major Joseph Dye was called in. He talked with the men, explained why the mission was necessary for the defense of Pace, and offered to lead the patrol himself. After about an hour of deliberations, the men agreed to proceed under the leadership of their platoon leader. The patrol returned safely, and for the next 10 days Delta remained at Pace running reconnaissance patrols necessary for base defense on nearly a daily basis with no further incidents. This included two dangerous missions—one to recover equipment from a downed Cobra, the other to recover bodies from a downed Huey. Meanwhile South Vietnamese troops were able to stop the enemy offensive and break the siege of Pace. All U.S. forces were evacuated by helicopter on October 22 and the base was turned over to the ARVN. Two days after Pace was evacuated, Delta went back to Fire Support Base Round Rock and was back out in the field on patrol looking for enemy supply caches.
Looking over 1-12th Cavalry's entire record for the second half of 1971, it clearly does not resemble an Army on the brink of collapse or rebellion. Nor is it an Army willing to blindly follow orders. So what is it? Perhaps the best explanation came from veteran CBS correspondent John Laurence, who was with another 1st Cavalry unit, Charlie Company 2-7th, 18 months earlier.
Laurence and his camera crew went out with Charlie Company on a patrol near the Cambodian border. He filmed a combat refusal by veteran GIs to walk down a road they thought was too dangerous. He later commented on what he saw in his award-winning documentary, The World of Charlie Company. He focused on the difference in attitude among the line infantry—the grunts— between his first tour in 1966–1967 and those he saw in early 1970:
"A certain sense of independence, a reluctance to behave according to the military's insistence on obedience, like pawns or puppets. Sometimes there was open rebelliousness. The grunts were determined to survive. Since they were forced to endure the most extreme physical hardships, they insisted on having something to say about the making of decisions that determined whether they might live or die. It happened among other units in Charlie Company."
And 18 months later it happened in Bravo and Delta Companies 1-12th. But to stop there and view these soldiers as a bunch of dissidents would be totally unfair. After all, the same soldiers of Delta who initially refused on October 13, had rushed out into an enemy-infested area the day before to rescue two Cobra pilots without a moment's hesitation. These same soldiers did later agree to go out on the daylight patrol after their meeting with Major Dye. And, in the following days, they again ventured into enemy-controlled areas to recover equipment from the downed Cobra, as well as the remains of the crew from the downed Huey. Bravo Company had done the same thing on October 9 to protect the downed Cobra that crash landed near the main gate.
"These men are not cowards," insisted Bravo Company squad leader Wernli in a subsequent ABC interview. Bravo Company's commanding officer, Captain Cronin, who probably went through more grief than anyone for Bravo's refusal on October 9, described the two individuals who sparked the refusal and the letter to Senator Kennedy, French and Grana, as good soldiers who had not gotten involved in any trouble before or after the incident. Lieutenant Colonel Stan Tyson, 1-12th's commanding officer during this period, described how, after Pace was evacuated, fistfights broke out among some of his soldiers over who would be able to participate in Operation Thundering Hooves because there wasn't enough lift capability to take everyone who wanted to go.
What could explain such apparently contradictory behavior? How do soldiers decide what's worth fighting for and what isn't? Military historians have been struggling to answer such questions for centuries. What seems to best explain it is that the willingness to take risks in battle has little to do with country or cause, with president or king. What holds units together under the stress of combat or impending combat is the willingness to fight for each other. In closing out his account of E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, Stephen Ambrose put it this way:"They thought the Army was boring, unfeeling, and chicken, and hated it. They found combat to be ugliness, destruction, and death, and hated it. Anything was better than the blood and carnage, the grime and filth, the impossible demands made on the body— anything, that is, except letting down their buddies." The various infantry companies of the 1-12th Cavalry at Pace did not face the same degree of intense combat as the veterans of Normandy and Bastogne. But in the end, the similarities of their experience in Vietnam were stronger than the differences. And when those similarities were clear, they rose to the occasion.
Were the actions of the infantry units assigned to Firebase Pace further evidence of an Army in collapse or an Army that could still get the job done? The preponderance of evidence lines up on the side of getting the job done. Yes, there were signs of rebelliousness and resistance that would have been unthinkable in 1965. But this was no longer 1965.
Were any of you ever in a situation like this?

They should have sent the politicians out to recon for them. You can't fight a war from thousand miles away . Nam 65-66
Neal Davis says:
I was in Charlie Co 2/7 working along the Cambodian border in 1970 that John Lawrence referred to in making the documentary. He was a troublemaker and a deciever, he would only interview a few other troublemakers in the Company, and he tried his best to show the whole company is as a bunch of rebellious solders. He was wrong, but it didn't matter because all he was concerned about was having a story, and making a buck. He made a lot of us want to " Puke ". Just wanted to share some truth! He should have been punished for spreading lies. He was a dishonor to our brave soldiers especially those that never came home!!
John McLean says:
Was with 25 inf Div at FSB burt and worked outside Katum. After being over run on 01/010/ 68 all ambush patrols were considered suicide by the grunts. We would go out before dark and wait to complete darkness and return to the perimeter while sending false sit reps. Grunts were smart enough to know 20 guys are going to stop a NVA/VC REGIMENTS. FOOLISH WASTE OF LIVES.
William GRUENDLER says:
In the field with 2Plt, C Co , 1-20, 11Bde AMERICAL in 1971, I avoided ambush detail, perimeter watch and humping M-60 ammo, M72, Claymore, etc by simply volunteering for permanent point. I had the only authorized air mattress as well. Of course, I was an existentialist …
Jamie Thompson says:
As the government was winding down the Vietnam War, I think a few reporters were looking for dissension and disillusion in the ranks and blew it up into something that fit a narrative they expected to find and wanted to write about. Soldiers are people and people have doubts, but I never saw anyone fail to accomplish a mission that could be completed in the time allotted for it. As to drug use, I never saw any hard drug use in a field unit. I was in C 5/7 1st Cav '70-'71.
rbbartlett01 says:
Thank you for this insightful commentary, evidence, and analysis. Thank you for what I believe is an accurate defense of the men, the danger of the mission they faced, and most important the reputation of the Cav.
I faced similar experiences during my tour as a platoon leader with 1/5 Cav in 1968-69, but as you accurately picture, there was a different philosophy and belief system in place then than in 1971. Even today with the tragic events in Afghanistan, no soldier wants go down in history as the last man to die. No Vietnsm Vet wanted to give up his life for what he, his fellow soldiers and the civilian population believed was one of the biggest mistakes in US military history. (With Afghanistan running a close second.)
I think you have set the record straight and congratulate you for doing so.
Tim Hodges says:
Most Americans didi not serve in the military much less Vietnam. Their opinion means nothing to me. I was there in 70-71. Never once felt the war was morally wrong. Althought I did realize at the end of my tour we were not fighting the war to win it. That was the Governments fault…not the Military.
Loved the guys there, made good good friends. I only saw what happened the night before. The first four mounths were 7pm till.7am. In the bunkers and flightline revememts.it sucked!
Joe D'heron says:
Liked the comments from my grunt brothers more than the article.
paul marling says:
I served on FSB PACE with Delta Company 1/12th Cavalry. I was the medic that went out to the Crashed Cobra on 10/12/71 and also the recovery of the remains from the downed huey a few days latter. Bravo Company so called refusal was because the engineers on the base had told them that they had set up booby traps, where they wanted them to do there night patrol. The base commander denied any booby trap existed. They went out at first light and returned with a daisy-chain of 6 clay mores they placed on that base commanders desk. Those clay-mores booby trap was in the direct line we went out the next day to rescue the Cobra pilot.
Mark maxfield says:
Hi Paul. I've seen your name before. I was there at Pace. I was on a 175 gun and was put in FDC as the battery recorder had to lay in guns for fire missions and do ammo counts and record the fire missions. I think there were much more than 1500 nva in the area we were told 5000 nva it lasted 28 days. I remember the refusal of the grunts to go on night recon. I have the utmost respect for the infantry that was there. My thoughts about it. Let's use our heads about this mission.
Bob Weiss says:
I had a situation where a new green Lt. platoon leader took us out on a night ambush, he got impatient and decided he was tired of waiting for Charlie to show up so he wanted to go out and find them.
aaah NO, to a man we refused to go so he took off on his own, our E-6 went after him and drug him back, a short time later we're out on a similar situation, we were in some tall grass, the wind came up and tripped a flare he was about to throw a grenade but he dropped it and it blew up in his face we were told he lived.
He told some that he was going home one of two ways, when the war ended or in a body bag !

The last several years of the Vietnam War was an unfortunate period for our armed forces.


Eye-catcher of the Bonhams Auction in Amelia Island when it comes to Porsche is probably the 1996 RUF Porsche Turbo R ( see featured image of this article). A RUF Porsche is a rare bird on its own. Add to that that this particular one was built for a member of the Porsche family and you know this is a true rarity that comes on the block. The 1996 RUF Turbo R has only 36,000 miles on the counter. This low mileage, and the provenance might make this car subject to heavy bidding.
We are curious about the other RUF in the Bonhams Auction at Amelia Island. The 1984 RUF Modified Porsche 911 RSR is a one-off modified by RUF. Upon delivery, the new owner/collector immediately desired to increase the performance of his 911 and soon called upon Tore Johnson, the U.S. RUF importer and builder in Long Beach, California, to upgrade this new Carrera 3.2 to RUF BTR specification. After that, the car was sent to Alan Johnson in San Diego. Johnson was contracted to craft an alloy body for the BTR inspired by the Porsche 935. Today, t the chassis has covered less than 10,000 miles since its delivery in 1984. The RUF RSR been in constant development since new to become the highly developed and powerful road car that it is today.

No Changes to UK Pensions Announced in Autumn Budget | Florin Pensions
No Changes to UK Pensions Announced in Autumn Budget
Dubbed the quietest budget for UK pensions in many years, to the relief of many in the pensions industry, the UK Chancellor announced no changes to UK pension's legislation in the Autumn Budget on 22 November 2017.
In the lead-up to the Autumn Statement, commentators had speculated whether the Chancellor would announce a lowering and/or change to the UK pensions allowance (e.g. the amount of money a person can contribute to their UK pension and receive UK tax relief). The allowance was £50,000 until April 2014 and has since been lowered to £40,000. In addition, some speculated that the Chancellor would again lower the UK's lifetime allowance.
However, rather than pensions, Chancellor Philip Hammond's key focus was on preparation for Brexit and the UK housing market. Key budget announcements included:
In 2017 growth remained solid, but slowed slightly at the start of the year. The UK economy is forecast to grow by 1.5% in 2017, a downgrade from the 2% forecast in March 2017. It is then expected to grow at a slightly slower rate in the next three years, before picking up in 2021 and 2022.
Inflation is forecast to peak at 3% in the final months of 2017 as measured by the Consumer Prices Index. It is then expected to fall towards the UK's target rate of 2% over the next year.
An extra £3 billion is needed to prepare for Brexit over the next two years. It will include funding for border preparation, the future immigration system and new trade relationships.
The UK's tax-free personal allowance will rise from £11,500 to £11,850 from April 2018. The higher rate threshold will also rise to £46,350.
Stamp duty land tax on homes under £300,000 has been abolished for first time buyers from 22 November 2017. This will mean that 80% of people buying their first home in the UK will pay no stamp duty. First time buyers of homes worth between £300,000 and £500,000 will not pay stamp duty on the first £300,000.

Here we go... UPDATE & PICS!!!!
Discussion in 'Incubating & Hatching Eggs' started by ebonykawai, Mar 26, 2008.
I have 5 pips out of 7 eggs!! Two more pipped when I was in the shower. The very first one put his beak through this morning around 9am.
They're at 70% humidity, a little bit of peeping now and then, too. My daughter gets home from school in 2 hours. She'll be so excited!
Congrats! Seems like everyone is on the same schedule.
I know! Isn't it weird?
6 pips out of 7. Come on, J1 aka Lola, my daughter named you!!!
LOL, it just looks pink. I sent that pic to my friend at work and he said "You colored your hatching eggs???" Hehehe!! No, it's just your regular RIR egg. It's a lovely shade of taupe.
My daughter took her tracfone with her and just sent me a text, she's on the bus on her way home. She can't wait to get here!
lol well good hahah i dont feel so cluless then hahhahahaha. well congrats tell your dughter i said congrats on the new babies. i cant wait for mine even though im pretty sure i only have one left but oh well. im considering trying to make my own incubator through the post miss P put up and see if i have better luck. the one i won now is a cheap littl eplastic dome looking thing that has been nothing but a waste of money.
So I have pips but no action. Is that normal? The one with his/her beak out is still exactly the same. When might they start actually hatching?
wow i have no idea seeing as how i havnt actually hatched yet just in the process of incubating lol. well i wouldnt worry i heard that they can take up to 24 hours to hatch after the first pip so stay calm cool and collective did your daughter get home already ...is she so excited. i cant wait for mine to hatch i know my son is going to friek out!

Do tell. For a "pizza-bolus" (combo), how much do you take now and how much later, and for how long. I rarely get it right, and when I do, I forget what I did.
Oh, and as a correlary to #2: "No sugar added" and "Sugar-free" do NOT mean the same thing!
Here's what I did for my Magical Pizza Bolus (YMMV). I did a 50/50 split. 50% up front and 50% over 3.5 hours. ALSO... and this may be key, I increased the amount of insulin by 10% before I started.
I did the calculations for a normal bolus. Then I increased that amount by 10%. Then I told my pump 50% now and 50% over the next 3.5 hours.
I spiked for a little while, but it wasn't anything a long walk couldn't fix. If you try this combo bolus, let me know how it worked. Pizza. PIZZA! YUM!
And you are SO RIGHT about No sugar added. So funny!
Oh and Sugar Free and Carb Free are not the same thing.

John Warwick Smith
The son of a gardener to a member of the Gilpin family, Smith benefited from their patronage and later from the support of the Earl of Warwick, a keen antiquarian, who paid him to go to Italy. Prior to his departure Smith was much influenced by Cozens, and employed the traditional tinted method. When he reached Rome in 1776 he fell in with the coterie of English artists there, notably Pars and Towne. Under their influence he began to work in a richer vein and in some drawings emulated Towne's vigorous pen-work without quite matching Towne's sculptural qualities. He was admired as an innovator on his return to England, for abandoning monochrome underpainting, applying washes of direct colour and painting in shadows last. The reality however, is that he was always capable of reverting to earlier methods, using delicately coloured washes for some Derbyshire views and reserving a stronger palette for a series of scenes in Wales. In 1806 he became a full member of the OWCS and a stalwart supporter after its reconstruction in 1813. The range of his British tours is not fully documented, though surviving drawings suggest visits to Wales, Derbyshire, The Lakes, Scotland and Devon, as well as further afield to the Isle of Man.

The recent few weeks have been heady and potent cosmic combinations of eclipse and retrograde energy. Depending on where the eclipses and retrogrades are landing in your personal chart, you are experiencing a range of "symptoms" or perhaps you feel like the eye of the storm for a Cat 5 hurricane! The truth is that none of us are getting out of this one unscathed, especially with the triggers and astrological pressures on the national and global landscapes.
Personally, this crazy eclipse season has been interesting. The New Moon Solar Eclipse is only a few degrees off of my Leo ascendant. A spider bit my head. No. Not a metaphor. The lead up to the Full Moon Lunar eclipse and this one has been lots of downtime nursing a swollen and infected head. Weird? You bet. Wishing for a tin foil hat? Yes. Right in alignment with eclipse season? Absolutely. And so we are (hopefully) rolling with what is showing up and paying close attention to repeat lessons, old structures crumbling, new doors opening, and not taking most of it too personally.
Leo energy brings courage, solar power and themes, play, freedom and liberation, urges to do things differently, and instead of howling at the moon, we may want to ROAR at the moon! Leo is fire energy, so look before you leap, and pause before you react.
Below, are my thoughts for the Dark Moon, New Moon, and eclipse and how we may welcome the energies of Inanna and Erishkegal into the crafting of our current experiences and inner work. These Goddesses stepped forward so powerfully to bring us messages of release, recognition of the shadow, of the birth pains of a new and better world. Truly, this is our descent in preparation to rise.
Explore the resources below. Take time to work through the personal energies and call of the shadow. Self care is of vital importance. Recognize when you are in overwhelm. Heed the call of the physical body with lots of water, healthy food, gentle exercise, and extra rest. As we work towards a more potent union within and without, reach out to those of like mind and purpose.
BLESSINGS for your Lion's Heart and may you have success and joy in these incredible cosmic energies!

Little Rock Law Firm Wins 8th Circuit Fee Partial Victory | Arkansas Business News
by Randal O. Huynh	| Posted on December 27, 2021
We were unable to ship the item.
A Little Rock law firm won a partial victory this month in the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals over attorney fees awarded by a U.S. District Court judge, the latest skirmish in a dispute long standing between the judge and the labor law firm.
The 8th Circuit referred the case back to U.S. District Judge Billy Roy Wilson to determine how much compensation the Sanford PLLC law firm in Little Rock should receive for work performed by the firm for its client, a driver- delivery man for Nilkanth Pizza Inc. of Little Rock. .
The law firm had asked the 8th Circuit to reassign the case to another judge. But the three-judge panel rejected the request in its decision.
"I would be happy if Justice Wilson stopped abusing his discretion and awarded reasonable fees," Josh Sanford told Arkansas Business. "We have never submitted a bill to him that contains more time than what we actually worked on the case. And we will never give him such an invoice.
"His speculation that our hours are inflated is not based on any evidence," Sanford said.
The fee dispute stems from a 2019 lawsuit in the United States District Court. In it, the Sanford client alleged that Nilkanth Pizza and an appointed executive failed to pay him the wages required under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Arkansas Minimum Wage Act.
Nilkanth Pizza has offered to settle the case in 2020 for $ 5,000 plus reasonable attorney fees, according to 8th Circuit court documents.
"That same day, the SLF told opposing counsel that 'we can settle costs for $ 11,000,'" Justice Wilson wrote in his order. Instead, the defendants offered $ 3,500 for costs and expenses and Sanford lowered its amount to $ 9,900, according to Wilson's order.
"The problem is, SLF had done just over $ 7,000 of work, and that amount included the higher billing rates and Mr. Sanford's unnecessary monitoring hours. Yet once again the SLF demanded fees that were not earned and were not expected to be.
"This is unacceptable," Wilson wrote.
Wilson made several deductions and awarded the firm $ 2,952 for attorney fees.
The Sanford firm appealed.
In its order, the 8th Circuit maintained some of the deductions, but said Wilson's decision to reduce other billable hours "lacks a factual basis and constitutes an abuse of discretion."
One of the three judges on the panel, James B. Loken, disagreed with the finding that Wilson abused his discretion. Loken said the finding is contrary to the US Supreme Court's "categorical rule that the" discretion of the district court to determine the amount of fees … which are essentially questions of fact.
As of Wednesday morning, Wilson had not ruled on legal fees.
This is not the first time that Wilson has castigated the SLF and reduced its demand for attorney fees. In June 2020, Wilson found that the company deserved a single dollar for its work for clients in a 2018 case against Welspun Pipes Inc. to collect unpaid overtime under the FLSA.
The SLF appealed this decision and the 8th Circuit ruled that the $ 1 fee was unreasonable. He referred the matter back to Wilson to recalculate the charges. In September, Wilson awarded the company $ 500.
The SLF appealed against this order and this case is pending.
And a few years ago, Sanford said another case involving Wilson's award of attorneys' fees to the SLF was quashed during the 8th Circuit.
Sanford told Arkansas Business that the SLF has other pending appeal cases similar to its case against Nilkanth Pizza. Sanford said he was not asking "for large numbers by any stretch of the imagination. And, nonetheless, [Wilson] granted only small percentages of what we asked for.
In the meantime, the firm has asked Wilson to go out of business.
"At any time, he can start following the law and awarding a reasonable fee," Sanford said. "And I'm really surprised that a judge can be overthrown three times" on the abuse of discretion standard. "It's very surprising to me."

Diksha Sharma hails from Greater Noida. She has successfully completed her Diploma in Clinical Science from University of Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom & currently managing Roshan Hospital (N.C.R).
She is fond of literature and her soul resides in writing. She loves the romantic genre and looks forward to sharing her thoughts in the form of poems, quotations, articles & stories.
She is contributing poet of Ishq 2 The Rain of Love. Let's Chit Chat with her.
Amit- You've had a rich career in your Job for more than 5 years would you like to share ups and downs of being working?
Diksha Sharma- Yes, I would surely like to share my ups and downs of my career as it will make younger youth to know the success and drawbacks.
Amit- What is the turning point in your career? What inspired you to write a book?
Diksha Sharma- the Turning point in my career started when I was struggling to find my own path and that when I met a writer from Iraq, who is an amazing poetess, and she made me learned to write poetries, also helped me.
Amit- How will you choose the genre and title of any book?
Diksha Sharma- I haven't written any book till now but soon, will pen down my novel.
But this is the first time my poem "Breathless Meeting" got selected in an Anthology, which is based on the couples who met after so many years that they are not capable of resisting each other.
As their fate got them separated. It is totally imaginary.
I hope you all will find it interesting.
Amit- What prompted you to think of this topic?
Diksha Sharma- Many reasons are there for this topic, as it is about the couple whose fate separated them and this meeting is called Breathless because they are totally happy with seeing each other, and they evolved so much from the outside but their love inside their heart and soul grew for each other so much that they aren't able to leave each other's company now.
Amit- Was it easy to find a publisher at the start?
Diksha Sharma- No it wasn't easy but I participated in Anthologies, and in those, my stories got selected.
This is for the first time that my poetry got selected in this Anthology.
Amit- What were you 1-2 biggest learning experience or surprise through the publishing process?
Diksha Sharma- My biggest learning experience through the publishing process that firstly, no one hones in this field, if you have anything to talk about so just talk directly to the publisher board else other authors will say wrong things about you.
Secondly, only few Author friends will encourage and motivate you to write and want you to be out of the comfort zone.
Like my only, a few friends were there when I first started my journey and they are now too always motivate me to write and want to see me as a success.
Amit- On other note, what you have done differently if you could do it again?
Diksha Sharma- If I could do again one thing differently, it could be the way I met publishers because my experience just was satisfactory.
Amit- Which part of writing you consider the hardest?
Diksha Sharma- The hardest part of writing is to experiment new things and wrote about them and to come out of your comfort zone.
Diksha Sharma- My advice for writers is that don't be stuck in only one genre, try other ones too as it is the best part to do and hardest also but in the end, you will enjoy every bit of it.
Amit- Something personal about you, people may be surprised to know?
And I am full of imaginations, full of energy. I always try to write new things.
Diksha Sharma- I am working as full-time Dermatologist in the hospital and also planning to write my own novel.

Securing a prestigious order for Bentley has provided one of Birmingham's fastest growing manufacturers with a perfect 70th birthday present.
Frank Dudley Limited (FDL), which employs 64 people at its Wiggin Street factory, beat off significant competition to win the contract to supply bumper finishes for the Continental model and has already invested heavily in setting up a dedicated clean room and cell for the job.
This deal, along with significant body and white work for Sertec Group, is the latest in a long line of 'wins' for the metal pressings and deep drawn component specialist that has seen sales rise 20% to £6m over the last twelve months.
"We've come a long way since my grandfather Frank started the business in his small shed in Birmingham," explained current Managing Director Grant Dudley-Toole.
He continued: "2018 has been a rollercoaster year with significant growth and lots of investment. However, it has been slightly tempered by the passing of my mother and company matriarch Jill Dudley-Toole in April, shortly after receiving an MBE for services to manufacturing and the local community.
The qualified toolmaker was armed with only a small supply of hand presses and sons and daughters that would help him after school to transport the products to local platers.
As word spread of its expertise, the company was able to buy more equipment and diversified its product offer into manufacturing parts in kit format and selling them through Quinton Hazell Autoparts.
Unfortunately, Frank died in 1966 at just 53 years of age, but his family were keen to make sure his legacy continued, a decision that has withstood three recessions, the MG Rover closure and increased volatility in the automotive market.
Elliot Dudley-Toole, Manager at FDL and 4th generation family member, continued: "Today, we operate from a 57,000 sq ft facility in Birmingham and have an array of presses from 30 tonnes to 630 tonnes on both progression and tandem lines.
Frank Dudley, which has recently secured the ISO 14001:2015 environment standard, hosted a major celebration event to mark its 70th year of manufacturing in Birmingham.
More than 200 guests were entertained by operatic waiters, a magician, the Roving Artist and live music, before keynote addresses from Grant Dudley-Toole and Grant Adams, Chief Executive of Sertec Group.
The evening helped raise £2000 to support the outstanding work of Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Always a great place for any occasion.food is always spectacular!
We went for Brunch and everything was spectacular. the grounds are beautiful, the restaurant is very nice with no tables on top of each other, the service was great and the food spectacular. There were 5 in our party and everyone enjoyed their meal. The Brunch is 3 courses but the Server asks if you want to try any additional items. We did and would have kept eating if we weren't filled. Even the cider donut they gave us each on the way out was great. We will be returning asap!
This is a truly special place and worth a trip. Exquisitely prepared food in a charming, elegant, and comfortable atmosphere. Warm, welcoming service that visits the table just enough and at the right times. Local products are highlighted and at peak flavor.
We have been trying to get a reservation here for a very long time. Service, atmosphere were outstanding. This restaurant fits right into our bucks county area! Food was good but a little salty for me, especially since my husband ordered my dish low salt. Prices on the high side. Over all ok.
We had a lovely brunch and appreciated the gracious, hospitable service.
Great food, great service. Portions are a little small.
The four of us had an excellent dinner and excellent time here. Everything was done well and the food was was all very good! Look forward to returning for brunch!
We enjoyed our dining experience from beginning to end. The staff is welcoming and genuinely pleasant. The food is fresh and creative served and the dining room is pleasant and relatively quiet. A thoroughly enjoyable evening!
We love this restaurant..... food, setting, and service. The weather was beautiful, so we opted for a ride. Worth every minute.
Unique food selections. Deliciously prepared. It reminds me of the original old French restaurants with their parings and unique combinations and sauces.
Wonderful experience top to bottom! Welcomed at the front door by the owner and we'll taken care of during the entire meal by the fantastic wait staff. Small and cozy dining room with a view of the farm. The food was imaginative and for the quality, fairly priced. We loved this restaurant and plan on returning.
One of our favorite places to go. Amazing food. Fabulous service. And a really wonderful ambiance. One of the few places where my husband (carnivore) and I (veghead) both have a fabulous dinner.
A Bucks County gem! Fine dining in a charming atmosphere with excellent service. The menu is always so interesting and the food delicious and so beautifully plated! Our family favorite for special occasions.
We loved everything about our brunch. The food, service and feel was fantastic! We will be back!

Perfect Bucks County Inn dining experience. Great place to celebrate an occasion or to enjoy a superb meal in a quiet quaint environment. The staff and owners were very friendly and professional. We celebrated my wife's birthday on a recommendation and she was extremely pleased with the experience. We look forward to returning for brunch in the spring as we will be able to enjoy the views of the grounds.
I ALWAYS recommend BS to everyone! It is a special place to dine and just a complete delight to be there to enjoy a meal. The people are lovely, the food is delicious, the presentation is perfect and the taste is ALWAYS divine. It's a elegant meal from start to finish.
Treat yourself to one of the 2 best restaurants in Bucks!
Excellent service. Delicious food. Wonderful ambience. A great dining experience.
I usually get nervous about 'fancy' and seasonal menus, but everything we tried at BSF at dinner and breakfast was spot-on great!
I enjoy this brunch so much. the choices were interested and some unusual. Everything came hot and delicious. My only complaint would be the potatoes which were way overdone but the bacon was delicious. I had a wonderful arugula salad and a frittata. The pastries that came to the table were a perfect size and very tasty. The price was perfect. Go and enjoy!!!!
Excellent experience all around! Can't wait to do it again!
The Barley Sheaf is a beautiful inn on a bucolic Bucks farm. The interior has potential, but needs some TLC. The reception room could be lovely, but candlesticks are askew, lightbulbs are burnt out in some wall sconces, and there is a great deal of clutter by the desks. The coat rack to the side of the room also detracts from its elegance. The dining room is also elegant, but again, needs just a little updating. The menu choices are food, and almost all sounds appetizing. The food itself is delicious, but the portion sizes were rather small for what you get. We had three courses each and could left wanting more.
We had dinner at Barley Sheaf the day after Valentine's Day. The 1700s inn is quite a romantic setting, especially the front room where there are just a few tables for two. We were slightly early for our reservation, and were invited to sip our wine in the inn's parlor, which includes a display of memorabilia from the inn's many famous guests in the 1930s and 40s. The menu is diverse, and the food is amazing, with everything prepared on-site. I enjoyed a petit lobster tail appetizer special and duck breast entree with root vegetables and a subtle sauce that perfectly complimented the duck. My wife enjoyed a mixed green salad followed by the halibut entree with ramps and its own perfect sauce. Deserts were excellent, and were followed by a plate of selected handmade candies for each of us and a rose for my wife. The staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Barley Sheaf does not disappoint.
I love Barley Sheaf and spending Valentine's day dining there was a treat. Food was great and Mark and Dina are incredible hosts. It's my favorite restaurant in the area.
From the moment we walked in the door our visit was incredible. We only waited about 5 minutes before we we lead to our table. Appetizers, main course and dessert were nothing short of amazing.
We had a very enjoyable experience. We celebrated birthdays. The restaurant was unpretentious, but special and romantic. The owners of the restaurant came to our table to chat with us. We enjoyed the conversation. The food is amazing! I look forward to going back to the restaurant soon!
Great romantic dinner. Very good food and service. Having the open kitchen it was a little noisy. Overall great night!
I have had the opportunity to dine at several restaurants in the area so my write up is based on my prior experience. Going to Barley my expectation was fine dining with unique ingredients and flavor. I found all 3 courses very bland. The gnocchi was not very good and the poached lobster needed seasoning. The restaurant was quant but the service not to the expected level for true fine dining. It is a nice place with caring management but not to my fine dining standards.
Perfect brunch for our group of friends! Food was amazing and service (Pat and Presley) are gracious perfection! Can't wait for brunch again as the chef always keeps it interesting and inspiring! I am particularly impressed that we had dinner Saturday night and brunch on Sunday here and had two very different but equally amazing experiences.
Excellent! First time we had dinner there. It was an overall great experience. Food was delicious and service was perfect so very welcoming! Will definitely return!
Whole experience as wonderful as ever. The food is creative and delicious, the ambiance relaxed and elegant, the service efficient and friendly, and the owners as gracious as can be. I love this restaurant and will be back soon.
The best restaurant in Bucks Country. A great meal every time!!


James (24 years old from Leasingham) suffered with motor function impairments and mental disabilities from birth. Mum, Stella, has lived in her current house for 12 years, with James previously living in a care home nearby, in a shared bungalow, where he didn't have very much freedom at all. He wouldn't be able to go out unless other residents were going out, etc, and he felt stifled and restricted in his daily routine.
Although James still has severe care requirements, needing full-time carers round the clock, his new custom-built home grants him a level of freedom and comfort he could not have imagined. LHIA oversaw every aspect of the process. From surveying the site to drawing up design drafts to sourcing reliable contractors and trusted traders, Lincolnshire Home Independence Agency (LHIA) took care of the whole process.
Stella says the home adaptation has completely transformed James' life, as now he is able to live at home, on his terms. "It's just perfect for James as he can essentially control his own life now. He can go out when he wants, where he wants. He has his own front door so he needn't disturb us when he travels with his carers, and he's always out and about somewhere!
"It's exactly right for our needs. The adaptation means we can oversee his care but also give him a sense of freedom. But most importantly, he's back in the family now, which is priceless.
"We could visit him in his shared care home but he felt so isolated being so far from us. Now he's meters away in a totally self-contained space. It's his own little bachelor pad and he loves it!
"The adaptation means we can oversee his care but also give him a sense of freedom. But most importantly, he's back in the family now, which is priceless"
Our friendly team are available to discuss home adaptations and improvements, small jobs around the home and general support and advice with you.
There are 73,000 people in Lincolnshire who suffer from a long-term, limiting illness or disability.
If you're one of them, whether you're disabled or simply getting older, we offer specialist advice and adaptations that can make your home more accessible, warm, safe, and secure. We can also advise on grants, benefits, money management or moving to more suitable accommodation.
Our experienced team can visit you in the comfort of your own home to discuss your individual needs without any obligation. Call us to discuss this or alternatively, fill out the box opposite to order an information pack.

Meditations for the 40 Days: April 15th – Hebrews 10:19-39
By Andy Pettman
Meditations for the 40 Days: April 15th – Hebrews 10:19-392019-04-152019-04-12https://servantsoftheword.org/wp-content/assets/SW_logo_web-03-300x150.pngThe Servants of the Wordhttps://servantsoftheword.org/wp-content/assets/crucifixion-15cm.jpg200px200px
If you have been listening to our Podcasts over these past weeks, we would like to hear what you think! Please check out this survey to give us feedback on our Words from the Servants podcast. Thank you – your feedback is a big help to us!
Today our brother Andy Pettman from London provides commentary on Hebrews 10:19-39. Take a listen or click here to download. You can find the full list of our meditation passages for this 40 Days here.
Hebrews 10:19-39:
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries. A man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the man who has spurned the Son of God, and profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge his people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.
"For yet a little while,
and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry;
but my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him."
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

Join us as we explore some of the most powerful and influential music ever made.
Our faithful renditions of those beautiful vocal harmonies and iconic instrumental sounds will take you back to the days when Fleetwood Mac's hits ruled the radio.
When these six Dallas music veterans discovered our shared love of Fleetwood Mac's organic vocal blend and awesome songwriting, making a band was inevitable. What we didn't expect is how much fun performing such great songs would be! Our continuing fascination with this iconic band lets us bring you a never ending variety of song arrangements drawn from more than four decades of tours and performances, keeping the music fresh.


I don't consider backups to be a necessity for Office 365, but ISVs continue to offer these products and customers continue to buy, so I chatted with Spanning to find out what's happening in the Office 365 market, who's using cloud backups, and why. We also spoke about the challenges that backup vendors continue to have in coping with some of the unique aspects of Office 365.
Lots of good things happened in the world of Office 365 during 2017. More people than ever before use the service, new applications and functionality appeared, and Microsoft delivered a robust service. On the other hand, a few lows happened as well, as sometimes bad decisions and miscommunication soured the experience. But overall, 2017 was good and laid a great foundation for 2018.
Microsoft clarified what AAD features need premium licenses at Ignite. Tenants need many of those features to control Office 365 Groups and Teams, and some of the listed features are surprising. Did you know that the group creation policy is a premium feature? Or adding a default classification. The chosen set of features seems odd, but at least Microsoft is now clear about what you must license.
Day 2 at Ignite featured news about SharePoint, Exchange, Office 365 Groups, and Teams, And on a personal note, I had the chance to speak twice. That was nice, but I'm exhausted and there's still three days to go.
On August 9, Microsoft launched the Office 365 Groups expiration policy into preview. It expires groups after a set period and helps keep the spread of groups under control. All sounds good, but the new feature needs an Azure Active Directory Premium license, which isn't so welcome.
In this series, Jeff Hicks continues looking at ways to use the Active Directory Searcher with PowerShell.
As part of the Office 365 data governance framework, tenants can now create retention policies that apply to the mailbox and team site belonging to Office 365 Groups. The process is quite straightforward, but some gotchas exist that you need to think about!
Office 365 now boasts a new data governance framework to provide compliance coverage across multiple workloads. The new framework covers Exchange, SharePoint OneDrive for Business, Skype for Business, and Office 365 Groups. It is a big step forward for tenants that have been waiting for Microsoft to deliver common compliance processing across the full service.
Microsoft plans to auto-generate Office 365 Groups for managers to enable them to collaborate better with employees. Sounds good, until you realize that the reporting relationships stored in Azure Active Directory drive the process. And we all know how reliable that information really is.

Nas shares clip of new Hit-Boy collaboration 'E.P.M.D.', coming this week
"E.P.M.D. we back in business"

Nas has shared a clip of a new song called 'E.P.M.D.' featuring Hit-Boy – listen below.
READ MORE: Nas on being a hip-hop legend – "I'm rapping the same way I did when I was on the block"
Hit-Boy executive-produced Nas' 13th studio album 'King's Disease', which came out in August 2020. Last year also saw Nas contribute to 'City On Lock', a track from Hit-Boy and Dom Kennedy's joint project 'Also Known As Courtesy Of Half-A-Mil'.
Taking to Instagram yesterday (February 8), Nas uploaded a studio video to confirm a new team-up titled 'E.P.M.D.' will be released this Friday (February 12). The collaboration will arrive as part of the Judas And The Black Messiah soundtrack alongside a new Jay-Z and Nipsey Hussle cut, 'What It Feels Like'.
"E.P.M.D. we back in business/ I visualise what it is not what it isn't/ We at the mafia table next to the kitchen/ Eating Michelin Star, countin' a million!" Nas' verse begins. You can watch the footage below.
A post shared by Nasir Jones (@nas)
The upcoming single pays homage to the New York hip-hop duo E.P.M.D. – aka Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith – who released seven LPs between 1988 and 2008.
Last month, Nas shared the official visuals for the 'King's Disease' single '27 Summers'. The song, which celebrates the rapper's near-three decades in the game, followed on from 'Ultra Black', 'Spicy' and 'Replace Me'.
In a four-star review of Nas' latest studio effort, NME wrote: "The album is stuffed with this kind of lyrical proficiency, which demands high levels of dissection.
"'King's Disease' is an acutely perceptive and culturally relevant body of work that finds its author willing to try out new ideas. There's a genuine conversation to be had about whether it's the best rap album of the year so far.
