Recovering Neglected Theologians #4: James M. Dunn
A guest-post by Aaron Weaver, Ph.D. student in Religion, Politics, and Society at Baylor University's J. M. Dawson Institute of Church-State Studies. This post is adapted from his Baylor M.A. Thesis, " James Dunn and Soul Freedom: A Baptist Paradigm for Political Engagement in the Public Arena." The son, grandson, and nephew of Baptist ministers, Aaron was a Congressional intern for the legendary civil rights leader, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and previously worked for the Baptist Joint Committee on Religious Liberty. He also has the great personal blog, Big Daddy Weave.
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."[1] This famous phrase characterizes the ministry of Baptists such as Thomas Helwys, Roger Williams, John Leland and others. In the last half of the twentieth century, James Dunn has been the loudest and most aggressive Baptist proponent for religious liberty in the United States. Dunn is best known for his leadership as Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, an organization comprised of multiple Baptist bodies that deals solely with religious liberty issues on Capitol Hill. Dunn's defense of religious liberty and the separation of church and state became one of the pivotal issues in the Southern Baptist Controversy during the 1980s. He was one of the primary targets of the "Conservative Resurgence" or "Fundamentalist Takeover" that ultimately gained control of the Southern Baptist Convention and subsequently defunded the participation of Southern Baptists in the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty.
James Dunn embodies and articulates a paradigm for Baptist political engagement in the public arena which is based upon the concept of soul freedom: voluntary uncoerced faith and an unfettered individual conscience before God. His vision of religious liberty and separation of church and state is especially rooted in the doctrine of soul freedom. Dunn argues that soul freedom is the cornerstone that precedes and demands religious liberty and separation of church and state for all persons in the political arena. With uncompromising intensity, Dunn defends soul freedom as the historic Baptist basis for religious liberty. Dunn attempts to so identify with the radical component of the Baptist witness to religious liberty that Baptist historian Walter Shurden has called him a modern day "John Leland," the eighteenth and early nineteenth century's strongest proponent of a thoroughgoing separation of church and state.[2]
James Dunn: A Biographical Overview
A self-described "Texas-bred, Spirit-led, Bible-teaching, revival-preaching, recovering Southern Baptist,"[3] James Milton Dunn was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on June 17, 1932 to William Thomas Dunn and Edith Campbell Dunn. Dunn began his educational journey in the Forth Worth public school system where he played in his high school's eighty member symphony orchestra. After a stint at Texas Christian University, Dunn transferred to Texas Wesleyan University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history in 1953. As a nineteen-year-old junior at Texas Wesleyan, Dunn accepted a "call" to vocational ministry. Consequently, Dunn pursued graduate theological training. His educational experience at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary began in 1953. Dunn received his Bachelor of Divinity in 1957 and his Doctor of Theology in 1966. While a seminary student, Dunn served Texas Baptist Churches in several ministerial roles from 1954-1961 including one four-year pastorate.[4] Dunn finished his long educational journey in 1978 as a post-doctoral research scholar at the prestigious London School of Economics and Political Science.[5]
Dunn's work in the arena of public policy began to flourish when he served as director of the Texas Christian Life Commission (1966-1980). He attempted to "stir the consciences" of Texas Baptists regarding "applied Christianity."[6] Anchored upon the influence of T. B. Maston and J. M. Dawson, Dunn was involved in developing Baptist viewpoints on issues such as gambling, race relations, Christian citizenship, hunger, and religious liberty. Regarding his approach, Dunn commented, "In some areas-gambling, liquor, pornography-this agency has been hardline conservative. In others-concerns for victims of a rotten welfare system and for bilingual education-we have been wild-eyed liberals." Dunn was a battler: "You could be wrong but you can't be quiet. You can't just shut up and let the other forces that would hurt people have their way."[7]
James Dunn and Soul Freedom
Ideas such as soul liberty and soul competency that had been trumpeted frequently in Baptist history found a home in the thought and rhetoric of James Dunn. Dunn became the heir of Edgar Young Mullins[8] and those before him who insisted that freedom of the individual conscience and the emphasis upon direct personal experience of God without reliance upon ecclesiastical leaders were at the heart of the best of the Baptist tradition. In fact, Dunn's work for an unfettered conscience, religious liberty for all, and the separation of church and state was especially rooted in his understanding of soul freedom. While prominent early twentieth century Southern Baptists E. Y. Mullins and G. W. Truett referred to "soul competency," James Dunn again used the earlier Baptist language of "soul freedom." Dunn believed, like Mullins did, that soul freedom, the key distinctive of Baptists and their greatest contribution to understanding the Christian faith, was simply the freedom, ability, and responsibility of each person to respond to God for herself or himself. This freedom implied the ability to have a personal relationship to Jesus Christ and the capacity to deal directly with God without a human mediator such as a priest or bishop. This is a gift from God.[9] Throughout his career, Dunn has often described soul freedom as "the fire that burns in the innards of every true Baptist." According to Dunn, since Thomas Helwys' bold proclamation that "the king is not Lord of the conscience," the hallmark of the people called Baptist is that "dogged determination to be free – free and faithful."[10]
For religious faith to be authentic, Dunn believes, it must be free and cannot be coerced.[11] Citing E. Y. Mullins, Dunn declares that to deny a person direct access to God "is nothing less than tyranny." The influence of Mullins and The Axioms of Religion on Dunn's thought is undeniable. Dunn has credited Mullins with investing energy and meaning into the phrase "soul competency" and placing it at the center of a "coherent cluster of beliefs that define Baptists."[12] Like Mullins, Dunn also affirmed that the biblical revelation clearly pointed to the principle of soul freedom. He also agreed with Mullins that "the voluntary principle is at the heart of Christianity" and consequently "the right of private judgment in religion is a right that lies at the core of Christian truth."[13] Building on Mullins' cornerstone that religious experience was the beginning point of understanding divine revelation, Dunn asserted that soul freedom is axiomatic, a self-evident truth "that when seen needs no proof of its reality."[14]
Dunn believes that soul freedom is based on a biblical view of persons. In the creation account found in Genesis 1:26-27, God called the first humans imago Dei which presupposes freedom.[15] Regardless of how one reads the biblical description of creation, in Dunn's view, it clearly suggests that all humans are moral beings, capable of responding to God.[16] According to Dunn, whatever else the classical doctrine of imago Dei means, it reveals that persons, made by God, can respond to their Creator. "The roots of freedom are deep within the intimate personhood of God. All true freedom is in a real sense religious freedom. It is that which replicates the Divine in all of us that makes us response-able, responsible and free."[17]
Dunn's view of soul freedom is far reaching and extends beyond personal morality and personal faith. As the ultimate source of all modern notions of human rights, it is the cornerstone that precedes and demands religious liberty and the separation of church and state for all persons in the political arena. It is the biblical and theological starting point from which religious liberty naturally follows. According to Dunn, "if we all, in some serious way, replicate God, religious liberty is a moral and social inevitability."[18]
Not surprisingly, James Dunn's understanding of soul freedom has not been spared from criticism. Like E. Y. Mullins, Dunn too has been accused of promoting a radical form of unbounded individualism, a faith without authority. Nearly fifty years ago, Winthrop Hudson, an American Baptist historian, stated that "the practical effect of the stress upon 'soul competency' as the cardinal doctrine of Baptists was to make everyone's hat their own church."[19] Other scholars have followed Hudson's lead. Curtis Freeman has argued that James Dunn has abused individualism even further by turning "soul competency" into "sole competency." Freeman claims that Dunn's popular quip, "Ain't nobody but Jesus goin' to tell me what to believe," quickly devolves into "Ain't nobody goin' to tell me what to believe" as the "me" becomes the exclusive arbiter of what Jesus is saying.[20] Other scholars have made sweeping claims against the excessive individualism they find in Mullins and/or Dunn in attempts to chastise Baptists for a poor social ethic or a poor doctrine of ecclesiology.[21]
However, Dunn has repeatedly refuted the criticism of his opponents that soul freedom leads to a hyper individualistic lone-ranger Christianity. He believes that the dichotomy of individual and community is a false one. The choice was not one over the other, but both together. Dunn contends that the desire for Christian community presupposes voluntary faith. According to Dunn, "The competence of the individual before God does not demand and in fact precludes Lone Ranger religion…no matter what critics left and right may say, autonomous individualism…does not mean that everyone's church is one's own hat. The longing for community and social Christianity presupposes voluntarism. Without individual autonomy, there can be no authentic community."[22]
One must remember that Dunn is not a systematic theologian. He is an activist for religious liberty. He has not written about community at length, but he has practiced it. Dunn is no "lone ranger" Christian. His audience is not simply Baptist individuals, but Baptist bodies (local churches and larger Baptist groups). His writings do reveal that he believes genuine voluntary individual faith leads a believer into the life of the church. He expects Baptists to use freedom responsibly and practice local church community. On one occasion, Dunn applauded the early writings of Jim Wallis which advocated an intentional community of communal discipleship. Dunn wrote, "No where have I seen a Baptist church that measures up to the vision of community held up by Wallis. Nor have I known a Baptist church that wouldn't be a bit frightened by his idealism, nor one that couldn't use a good dose of it."
After serving as Executive-Director of the Baptist Joint Committee for 19 years, James Dunn "retired" in 1999 to his home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina where he serves as Resident Professor of Christianity and Public Policy at the Wake Forest University School of Divinity, still pushing for soul freedom, religious liberty, and the separation of church and state.

In an interview with Dunn, he noted that he was the first pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church which began with just fifty-eight members and grew to two hundred members in just three years.

Great job, Aaron. Thanks for posting this, Michael. Michael, I think your point about context is very insightful.

James Dunn is one of the heroes of Baptist thought
Comment by roy donkin | August 24, 2008
James Dunn is one of my heroes and role models. He as much as anyone helped me to see how vital freedom is to my experience as a Baptist. I had a flirtation with Reformed theology in my earlier life, but the Baptist in me finally overcame the authoritarianism of Calvin and his followers. For me, freedom in a religiously neutral state is far more attractive than the theocratic ideal that underlies the contemporary evangelical attack on separation of church and state. I am glad to see young scholars like Aaron taking up the cause when so many other youths have fallen prey to the practitioners of authority.
Comment by Richard Pierard | August 27, 2008
I remember James Dunn speaking at a state BSU conference in Virginia in the mid-1980's. It was not a universally friendly audience, as the divisions among Southern Baptists impacted student organizations as much as any other Southern Baptist organizations. It was refreshing to hear a defense of Baptist principles with passion and fidelity to the Gospel–in such a way to demonstrate that this was not merely an intellectual debate–but a struggle for essential faith identity. Another speaker at that same meeting was Peter James Flamming of First church Richmond–another champion of principle in the face of fundamentalism. I did not enter the Baptist fold until later in my life (who wanted to join a family in the midst of a full-fledged food fight?)–but these were obviously positive impressions that stayed with me until now.

Glad to see this recognition of James Dunn, and so glad to see soul freedom presented. My own father was a Southern Baptist minister and was the one who instilled in me that sense of soul freedom which James Dunn also declares.
I heard Rev. Dunn speak when I was a student at Samford University in Birmingham back in the 1970s and again at Golden Gate Seminary in Mill Valley California. He is such a refreshing voice. Thanks for the posting, Aaron!

The Financial Conduct Authority is asking anyone who was scammed by African Land or Capital Carbon Credits to complete a questionnaire and send documents to the FCA by 31 March 2019.
Category: Sierra Leone
Land Grabbing: "Big, big problem"
"It's very attractive. The earnings are very high and we've got hybrid material now. You harvest in the 24th month, and the repayment period is about seven years at the most… For the next 20 years it'll be laughing yourself all the way to the bank."
Carbon Conflicts and Forest Landscapes in Africa
"Carbon forestry is privatizing, commodifying and financializing the world's forests, recasting relations between state and market forest landscapes," says Jesse Ribot, University of Illinois in a review of a new book.
Financial Conduct Authority wins appeal case against Capital Alternatives
The Court of Appeal has upheld a February 2014 High Court ruling in which the Financial Conduct Authority won their case against Capital Alternatives and other firms. The FCA accused the firms of "promoting and/or operating collective investment schemes (CISs) in the UK illegally and without our authorisation".
"FCA's investigation to determine if deals such as African Land are a collective investment scheme or not, is irrelevant. The bigger concern is if it might be a scam"
African Land Ltd had a simple offer: Invest in "low-cost, high potential" farmland in Sierra Leone. "We Harvest – You Profit" was the headline of one of the company's brochures.

Lately a lot of consumers have been asking whether they really need to carry a credit card.
It seems just as easy to get by on cash, and all the identity theft and shady lender practices making headlines aren't reassuring.
Also, the outcry against big banks and practices like debit card fees and swipe fees put off consumers who felt taken advantage of.
We tapped two of our favorite credit experts, Bethy Hardeman of CreditKarma.com and John Ulzheimer of SmartCredit.com, to weigh in on the pros and cons of carrying plastic.
Do you really need a card? Here's what they had to say:
- Travel arrangements. "It's hard to travel with cash all the time," said Ulzheimer. Reserving a room a car rental are tough enough with one and using a debit card instead can be a recipe for theft. There's also a certain kind of relief that comes with knowing you can travel anywhere in the world and still be protected if there's an emergency.
- Protection and security. You'll get a lot more security with a credit card than you will with cash or a debit card. Once the cash is gone, it's gone. And debit cards, which are linked to your banking account, can easily help a crook to your wallet if the card is lost or stolen. As Ulzheimer pointed out, with a credit card, all it takes is a simple phone call to prevent further loss and identity theft.
- Financing a home or a car. It's getting tougher and tougher to take out a mortgage these days, and like it or not, lenders will be checking your credit report. If you haven't got a card, there won't be a credit history to speak of, and you'll have a much harder time proving to lenders you're responsible with money.
- Because you think you should have it. "You shouldn't get one just to get one," said Hardeman, who added that "it's worse to get an auto loan just to get an auto loan. Taking out a lot of debt, even if you have the cash to pay out of pocketm isn't a good idea because you'll likely be paying interest on it."
- You're not planning to buy a home (or a car). "It's really up for the individual to decide," Hardeman said. "But if at some point you're going to need these things, the credit card is the best way to do it."
- You impulse shop. "Clearly, if you're irresponsible or undisciplined, you can find yourself getting into a lot of debt quickly unless you can write a big fat check," said Ulzheimer, but "there comes a point in your life where you do need the convenience of plastic."

This is a piece of
postive news, if a bit overdue. No no more "homesexuals" in their news articles. "The Gay Agenda" advances again!
My late friend Dana Whitehurst would be calling a press conference about now, proclaiming that his (and mine) 1986 letter to the St. Petersburg Times on this very language has finally been widely adopted — although the Times has been ahead of the AP in some regards on this.
Hey, Dana, once again, we were right; and the self-loathing pacifiers were wrong!

Stressed out about getting financing for a home purchase? You don't have to be. We've got great connections to a lot of mortgage lenders in the Portales/Clovis area, and they've helped us recognize a few things that can make the process of applying for a loan very easy.
Be sure you have a list of questions with you if you find that you do not thoroughly understand the ins and outs of the various programs. It can be hard to know the differences between both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. One of our lenders or associates will be able to assist you with understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each one.
Locking in indicates that a lender commits to the mortgage interest rates for the loan – generally at the time the loan application is received. By floating the rate, you can lock the rate anytime between the day of your loan application and closing. Those who prefer to float think interest rates will dip in the near future. Click here to see the outlook for the next 90 days of interest rates.
When you decide to pay additional points to lower the interest rate of your mortgage loan, you will do so by paying for them in cash at the time of closing. Each point is 1 percent of the loan. Click here to use our points calculator. This tool will help you determine if purchasing points is the best option for you.
Acquiring a mortgage loan requires lots of paperwork, so you should spend some time getting your documentation together. Click here to get a feel for common information that goes on a loan application.

Because of my most recent posts I've had a bunch of questions on business expenses in general. I think this will answer a lot of questions. And I hope it encourages you to ask some questions of your tax pro.
Common sense – you know, that's the commodity your mother wished you had – would tell you that business expenses are the costs you incur to run your business – the money you must spend in order to make money.
The IRS explains it this way:
"To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your field of business. A necessary expense is one that is appropriate and helpful for your business. An expense does not have to be indispensable to be considered necessary."
Okay, but what's an ordinary expense to a blogger? What's a necessary expense to a computer games inventor?
The answer: Anything you do that relates to your work, that stimulates or enhances your business, nurtures your professional creativity, improves your skills, wins you recognition, or increases your chances of making a sale is a potential business expense and deductible.
When Victor Visual attends a friend's talk on web marketing, that isn't a personal experience for graphic designer, Victor. Even though he may attend as support for his friend, it's business and any related costs are business expenses, and deductible. It's just as legitimate a deduction as that paid by a salaried middle management executive attending a seminar given by his colleague on "Employee Motivation."
Ivan Inventor – of computer games, that is – shouldn't assume that buying someone else's computer game can't be a business expense. Even if Ivan stayed up half the night fighting invaders from another galaxy, he was researching the competition. The purchase of the game is a business deduction.
Whether you blog or design or invent, if you're doing it to make money: You are self-employed – so from this moment on, whenever you reach into your pocket for money, write a check, or slip out your credit card, be aware that you may be engaging in a business transaction.
Here's 3 Ways to expand your business deductions:
1. Define your business as broadly as you honestly can. The more multi-faceted and inclusive your field of endeavor the more wide-ranging your expenses and thereby the less taxes you'll end up paying!
- A photojournalist can deduct a more extensive variety of expenses than can a wedding photographer.
- A technological consultant's expenses will be more diverse than those of a computer repair person
2. Look with a different perspective at your activities.Don't be so sure that there is a well-marked difference between work and family and play and chores. The business life of an indie like yourself is intertwined with your personal life. And the two two can get pretty tangled. If you're dropping off your children while delivering products to clients, or struggling to find time for your new independent venture while holding down a full-time job, the interplay of your business and other interests can be intricate.
- A visual artist attends a Broadway performance and scrutinizes the sets and costumes. She deducts the cost of the ticket as a business study expense.
- The designer of hand-made all-cotton clothes for children deducts, as a publication expense, every magazine she purchases that has any clothing, kids, or fabric industry trends in it.
3. Review your relationship to the people you spend your time with.Anyone who has a connection with your business may be primarily a business associate even though in some cases he or she may also happen to be a college classmate, friend, parent, child, or spouse. Friendship with a business associate is not necessarily fatal to a deduction. You'll just have to show that the predominant motive for the activity that warranted the expense was business-related.
- Faye Fabrique deducts not only the fabric paints that she buys, but also the expense of dining out with her husband. Why? Because during the meal she gets his advice on questions of scheduling, picks his brain about various proposals, and tests his reaction to her brochure. She could not have had this business discussion at the family dinner table with her three children in attendance and so the gift given to her brother as thanks for baby-sitting while she was at this dinner is also a business expense.
Think like a business. Take every deduction possible. And, click here to get your complimentary list of self-employed business deductions?

Fed complaint don't mention ISIL references in bomber's journal
Fox News:
Pages from the bloody journal of the New York and New Jersey bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami show he was a follower of Al Qaeda as well as the Islamic State terror group, yet federal investigators made no reference to ISIS in their complaint charging him on Tuesday.There seems to be pretty conclusive evidence that this guy considered himself an Islamic terrorist out to avenge the deaths of other terrorists. It will be interesting to hear the reasoning of the federal prosecutors in excluding the references to ISIL.
At least two pages include references to Anwar al-Awlaki -- the American-born Muslim cleric who was killed in a 2011 drone strike and whose preaching has inspired acts of terror linked to ISIS and Al Qaeda. Federal investigators mentioned Awlaki in the complaints.
However, the journal also appears to reference Abu Muhammad al Adnani -- the ISIS spokesman killed by coalition forces in August after he called his followers to attack non-believers in their homelands.
"I looked for guidance came Sheikh Anwar, Brother Adnani, Dawla. Said it clearly – Attack the kuffar (non-believer) in the back yard," one section read. Page 12 of the indictment references this section without naming Adnani.
Rahami's screed also praised 9/11 mastermind Usama bin Laden and Nidal Hasan, the former Army officer who went on a deadly shooting rampage in 2009 at Fort Hood, Texas. Hasan was also a follower of Awlaki. The Counter Extremism Project's research counted 77 extremists — 43 U.S. extremists and 34 European extremists — with ties to Anwar al-Awlaki. They include the Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen in June, as well as Syed Farook, one of the shooters in the San Bernardino massacre in December 2015.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic disorder where the immune system doesn't recognize foods as safe. It's become one of the leading causes of stomach disorders in the United States.
Due in large part to research conducted in Dr. Marc Rothenberg's lab, there are now better treatments for eosinophilic esophagitis.
But treatments can be expensive, and insurance doesn't always cover them.

Really, Crimean crisis is not over both as Donbass crisis. We will try to recall diferent most prominent episodes and background mechanisms which were the basis of the Crimean separation from continental Ukraine.
Crimean crisi is the direct continuation of Maidan "revolution" aftermath so we won`t pay big attention for previous obstacles as you can read it anytime. We`ll just continue to describe situation from the end of February, when government of Yanukovich was overturned.
As a foreword we should describe the overall attitude of Crimeans to Euromaidan and situation in Kiev. Crimea from the outset was supporting course of President Yanukovich not to sign the European association and further demand to restore order in Kiev and return to normal peaceful life. Initially it was just declarative statements, the region lived by its regular life and nobody thought that it became such a disastrous problem. There were attempts to create local Maidan in Simferopol to produce the general image of "protests" all over Ukraine but it hadn`t receive any support in Crimean society. Instead of it, most of people had extremely negative attitude for such political movement on their native land but tolerated position of maidan-activists.
The most vivid expression of Crimean regard on situation we can see on such example: December 1 Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Crimea stated that "the current opposition performance in Kiev threaten political and economic stability in Ukraine" and that "a handful of politicians under the guise of trying to fight for the European development vector seize power in the country". And I consider this as the most accurate transcription of the situation in Ukraine. After this, December 2 they added that Pr. Yanukovish must bring situation under control with any available meanings up to introducing of emergency. 76 of 78 deputies adopt the declaration because "…the position of eeveryone must be heard. Otherwise it may be an illusion that an opinion have only people flooded the streets and squares of Kiev …" The authority, as the appeal says," is obliged to prevent an unconstitutional way of revenge of bankrupt political movements who profess extreme nationalism. That they scoff at sacred feelings of war veterans … "
I think it`s more than enough to understand the position. But as time went on and situation around Maidan just only was getting worse, people began to form self-defence squads after example of Lugansk and Donetsk in the end of December. In the end of January patriotic party "Russky block" prevented holding a meeting in support of Euromaidan in Sevastopol. Instead of it this party was an initiator of colossal meeting in support of legal authority and Russian-Ukrainian friendship.
January 24 Crimean parliament urged Yanukovych to introduce a state of emergency and stop funding from the state budget "…regions declared themselves outlawed where power is shifted by force, to restore constitutional order in there". In this categorical resoluteness Crimean voice was the most conspicuous among Ukrainian regions. And starting from beginning of February Crimean authorities started to turn to Russian government to protect autonomy of Crimea and compliance of all democratic rights of the region. Specially for this Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Vladimir Konstantinov, acted with speech about returning to more deep form of Crimean autonomy written in constitution of 1992 year. Also deputy Nickolai Kolisnichenko appealed that in term if situation in Ukraine wouldn`t be stabilized and "fascists"come to power, Crimea will raise the question about separating from Ukraine to Russian Federation.
This speech wasn`t passed by the deputies of Verkhovna Rada and many of opposite lawmakers, and one of them was Nickolay Tomenko, call to punish deputy for such dangerous appeals and up to resigning all Crimean parliament in general.
Crimean chronicles
After this, when gevornment of Yanukovich was threw off and radicals of Maidan got the power, Crimean parliament understood they have a very short time for drastic moves and used all their authority to affect the situation. And they decided to act as the powerful support of people was evident.
February 21 unlimited action of protest against non-constitional overturn in Kiev was began by pro-Russian citizens under the building of Supreme Council of Crimea. In counterwieght to them numerically small Euromaidan supporters decided to their meeting and then tried to provoke skirmish but were blocked and taken away by activists of so called People`s Liberation movement. Since that day pro-Euromaidan meetings ceased completely or had sporadic character.
At that time first news of gruesome actions of Maidan activists in continental Ukraine and Kiev (repressions against policemen and Berkut, violence against Crimeans near Korsun-Shevchenkivsky and so on) spreaded to Crimea which you can find in previous article just convinced people in their rightness to struggle against new government. That day volunteers and road police were erected and fortified several block-posts in entrance to peninsula to prevent penetration of Maidan-activists. 22-th of February Crimean Berkut was returned home from its duty in Kiev and was saluted as heroes. After congress in Kharkiv all antimaidan regional authorities decided "to take responsibility for ensuring the constitutional order on their territories". Local authorities of peninsula invoked people to self-organization for help to police in patrol the territory. Also they claim to withdraw Crimean deputies from Verkhovna Rada to work in a local way and urge Army units to stay in places of deployment.
February 23, at the Day of Soviet Army, took place a very big meeting "People`s will against fascism in Ukraine" with 25-100K participants. It means that every third citizen came to support the change in society which couldn`t stand this total state havoc. After the meeting people choose their new folk city mayor, Russian entrepreneur, Alexei Chaly. In front of people, Chaly read a resolution that Sevatopol regard new Maidan government in Kiev as illegal and refuse to accept their orders as well it considers the situation in Ukraine is anti-constitutional overturn. Also at this meeting formation of new self-defence squads among local citizens was organized. At the same time Chaly invited to Sevastopol Berkut militants to defend city from possible Kiev aggression.
And aggressive reaction didn`t take long to wait. Different nazi-organisations and just peaceful citizens in social networks begin menace people of Sevatopol for their "not-patriotic" spirit. Igor Moseychuk, freed nazi-activist, declared that nationalists will arrive to Crimea on "train of friendship" as in early 90-s and will force local citizens to peace. But this intimidations didn`t work.
Alexey Chaly February 26 signed a decree on the establishment of municipal police forces "Berkut" (as it was disbanded by Kiev authirities) to maintain public order, prevent unlawful acts of provocation, riots and looting. Acting commander appointed Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Cherednychenko.
That time in Crimea February 27 member of the Supreme Council of Crimea, leader of the "Russian Unity" Sergei Aksyonov was appointed chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea by the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Too sophisticated but it means that Aksyonov, who had an explicit pro-Russian political views became Prime Minister of Crimea.
Crimean Tatars
Against separating of Crimea from Ukraine actively spoke Crimean Tatars. Rather for whole Tatar people the most louder were speaking representatives of Mejlis. Members of Mejlis have support of 18% Tatars of Crimea but proclaimed that will not let to tear away the region from Ukraine and made it on behalf of all Tatar people. There are many reasons for Mejis to support new Kievan government in light of the fact that weak Ukrainian government allowed Tatars to occupy parcels often without proper documentation. For Mejlis was better Ukrainian lawlessness than Russian strict legislation even despite of Ukrainian leadership wasn`t worthy to sign the rehabilitation of Crimean Tatars after Stalin` repressions
February 26, Refat Chubarov and other activists of Mejlis gather the meeting under the building of Crimean Supreme Council to prevent and aware everybody that to take attempts for adding to Russia is dangerous and inadmissible step. At the same time and place activists of pro-Russian movement gad been gathered. After this skirmish began and couple tens of people were wounded and 2 people died in hustle.
This after Mejlis would never gather any meetings because of many political and social groups pressured on them to change their views, including president of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, appealed to all Crimean Tatars with explanation why the union with Russia is much more beneficial than remaining in Ukrainian borders. And it`s a lot of things he could propose: in Ukraine Crimea was gradually fading away and plunder. The worldwide known child wellness sanatory Artek had been desintegrating little by little. Scientific life was ceased, military potential wasn`t in demand. So it was a lot of reasons for Crimeans to change the registration. The most significant was that after USSR disassembling Ukraine had no right to possess Crimea as it always balonged to Russian Empire and than Russian Soviet Federative Socialistic Republic and only in 1954 was gifted to USSR by Nikita Khrushchev with different violations of constitution of USSR and RSFSR. Anyway this transfer ended its legal power with disappearing of USSR so Crimea should be automatically rejoined with Russia or through the referendum decide its further fate. After referendum in 1990 where Crimeans voted for being as part of Soyuznoe Gosudarstvo (CIS) which after were considered like weak union and remained like a declaration… Bla-bla-bla, it`s very complicated, but in fact rights on Crimea have both Ukraine and Russia.
March 10 Sergey Aksenov suggested that representatives of the Crimean Tatars to take place in the government of Crimea. Crimean Tatars proposed to allocate positions one vice-premier, two ministers, and deputy minister of each ministry. Sergey Aksyonov also said that the Crimean Tatar will be one of the official languages in the Crimea.
Third power
The overall unleashing of Crimean crisis in peaceful and controlled way was thankful to so called "third power" or non-marked by insignia military squads. From February 27 people can see massive regrouping of military forces in Crimea. Often people were filming it on mobile phones:
On this video you can see helicopters following to from Anapa to Sevastopol (information is not cheched). Of course this is Russian military forces because Ukrainian army even doesn`t have such number of functioning helicopters Mi-8 (supposedly). At first, Russian officials deny transference of their military forces to Crimea and explain this movements as maneuvers of Russian Navy which is officially based in Crimea. But in personal touch of local citizens with newcomers they found out that they are really from Russia.
But it doesn`t matter and doesn`t change anything. Russians responded to call of Crimean authorirteis to come and protect peaceful citizens and their possible choice of separating from Ukraine to Russia. And from numerous evidences in Internet we can ensure that Russian militants complete their mission excellently, with no povocations and victims, without one single shot. They cooperated very closely with local forces of self-defense, helped to arm them and took a role to block Ukrainian military units from possible provocations.
February 27, Crimean Parliament was seized by 120 unknown people with automatic weapons and with no insignia.
It is well to distinguish from this video that militants took building under their control quickly, unarmed security. Nobody panics and looks like personnel and soldiers just friendly speaking. After this Russian flag was raised above the building and it was properly fortified and taken under patrol. Citizens weren`t allow to approach 100 meters closely to Parliament.
Also this day Ukrainian Maidan authorities, Hennadiy Moskal personnally, claimed Crimea is blocked to enter from land by former Berkut and local activists.
At the same time whole series of Crimean police and military chiefs took the oath to serve for Crimean people and were reassigned to regional authority of Sergei Aksyonov. It was right after the attempt of pro-Kievan newly appointed "minister" of Crimean police with his guards to break through folksy self-defense squads, but was stopped and swept away.
Needless to say that the most democratic ways of signify own attitude of a person in any question is referendum. You will be laugh, but the most "democratic" new Maidan authority of Ukraine is afariad of any kinds of referendum like fire. Because public opinion is dreadfully manipulated, noncomformistiс media is under wild pressure and even can be destroyed by Right-sector activists or somebody, Russian media are just blocked from broadcast in Ukraine. Authorities don`t ask people on referendum to join EU, to join NATO and they wouldn`t. What else I can add if they killing Ukrainian people at the Eastern part of the state and pretend it to be normal. Ukrainian media actively pumping people up how do they dughtuly resist to Russian occupants, terrorists and separatism and nobody says about Ukrainian artillery killing peaceful folk. Which is denied to do even against the enemies they are doing to their own people. It`s total madness. But we are speking about Crimea now.
So, March 3, Supreme Council of Crimea set the date to very widely discussed before referendum: 30 of March.
March 6, the Supreme Council of Crimea has decided to join the Russian Federation as a subject of the Russian Federation and to hold a referendum on the entire territory of Crimea (including the city of Sevastopol), and not on March 30 and March 16, relegate to the discussion on the future status of Crimea, assuming choice of one of two possible answers: "Do you support the reunification of the Crimea with Russia on the Rights of the Russian Federation?" or "Do you support the restoration of the Constitution of the Republic of Crimea in 1992 and for the status of the Crimea as part of Ukraine?"
Ukrainian militarists didn`t sleep too and were distinguished by different "heroic" actions as colonel Mamchur who initially surrender his unit, military airport Belbeq, decided to reestablish his honor and to strike back. For it he gathered his combatants and armless went to negotiate with Russian soldiers who occupied the territory. Epic phrase sounds at 1:17 of video. "America s nami!" (America with us) cried exalted Ukrainian man of arms from the croud. Then they covered behind Soviet flag and try to provoke Russians for some incomprehensible actions.
But Russians tolerated all provocations and that`s why they were named "polite people" – a variant of soft power in conflicts.
As you can guess, all this will of Crimean people to separate from Ukraine despite numerous problems which appear when you change the legislation, currency, documents etc. is just once again proves that Crimean patience of Ukrainian gambling and chaos is over. The peninsula took rigid decision to come back in Russian jurisdiction.
March 11 The Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol City Council adopted a declaration on independence of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. According to the declaration, in the case of a decision of the Crimean peoples in a referendum to join the Russian Federation, the Crimea will be declared a sovereign republic and that this status will be reunited with the Russian Federation on the rights of subject.
In support of this decision mass assemblies of people gathering on squares of Crimean cities. I had personal discussion with my former university mate and she told me that there was such patriotic and commonality feeling never before.
March 16 referendum was held where, according to official figures, participated 83.1% Crimean voters (excluding Sevastopol), of which about 96.77% voted for reunification of the Crimea with Russia, in Sevastopol 89.5% and 95.6% respectively.
March 18 Russia and the Crimea signed in St. George's Hall in the Kremlin contract to join the Republic of Crimea in the Russian Federation. His document was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chairman of the State Council of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov, chairman of the Council of Ministers of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov and head of Sevastopol, Alexey Chaly.
After this were solved very many jurisical problems. But since that day Crimea is considering as Russian territory. But in accordance with the official position of Ukraine, Crimea is occupied territory and they don`t left the idea to return it back. Especially now, when war at Donbass is very exhausting and not supported by wide segments of Ukrainian population.
It`s just a little anв common picture of Crimean crisis, without scrupulous details, but it still enough to pick up some important conclusions. First of all, separation of Crimea was unpredictable and surprising for scenarists of Maidan, they didn`t expect of such active social reaction and negative attitude for fake revolution. Second, Crimean crisis is definately not over as new Ukrainian government is intended not for reforms and new vector of Ukrainian development. They come to provoke the blood and war and to involve Russia into conflict to blame Russia in all mortal sins: ceasing of economy, killing peaceful citizens, international agreements violation etc. And now they have a trump card to play: Crimea is internationally unrecognized part of Russia (March 27, 2014 the UN General Assembly voted for the recognition of the illegality of the Crimean referendum 2014). Now it is recognized as annexion. So Ukraine under the protection of its foreign sponsors can try to return Crimea under control. Any military activeness from Russia will be treated as aggression. But this is a very dangerous game and this is where I wholely supports Russia against American and its henchmen gamble.

While Habitat Hunters does not charge a fee to the Austin home buyer, there are still a number of costs associated with the buying process. These closing costs will vary tremendously, based on the price of the house, the size of the mortgage, tax and insurance requirements, and a number of other factors. Here are some of the common closing costs you can expect when buying a home, condo, or other property:
- Loan origination fee – when purchasing any property, the buyer pays a fee to the mortgage company for originating the loan. Historically the origination fee is approximately 1% of the mortgage amount. Lower origination fees may result in higher interest rates.
- Assumption fee – if, instead of originating a new loan, you are taking over the seller's already-existing mortgage (i.e., assuming responsibility for the loan), you can usually expect to pay 1% of the mortgage amount, which again, will vary depending on your interest rate and processing fees.
- Lender application & processing fees – $0 to $1000. The application and processing fees paid to the mortgage company or broker may be rolled into the origination or assumption fees, usually resulting in a higher rate.
- Credit reports – $25 to $85 per credit report. Anyone loaning you money will want to know your credit score and credit history. The cost of a credit report may be included in the lender processing fees, but sometimes additional reports will be required/requested by the seller, listing agent, mortgage broker, or other parties involved. Mortgage lenders will often pull an additional credit report right before closing, just to make sure nothing has changed.
- Escrow – an amount held by the lender in order to pay taxes and homeowners insurance when due, escrow will be 15% to 20% of your annual insurance cost + 33% to 50% of your annual taxes. The mortgage lender will also take an escrow fee of $40 to $90, which may be included in the application and processing fees. Some buyers choose to waive escrow and are then responsible for paying their own property taxes and homeowners insurance when they become due. This is not recommended (and often may not be possible) for first-time buyers.
- Inspections – based on purchase price, square footage, and any additional recommended inspections (termite, mold, wiring, etc.) home inspections cost $250 to $450 or more. It is highly recommended that you take advantage of your right to have the house inspected.
- Appraisal – $250 to $450 to have an unbiased professional estimate the value of the property you're looking to buy. Appraisals are not required, but can be a good idea at times.
- Title policy – also known as title insurance, protects the lender and/or property owner from unknown or undisclosed defects in the title, in the unlikely event someone claims they still own the property. The seller will often pay the buyer's title policy, but the mortgage lender will require you to purchase additional protection for them at a cost of approximately $150 to $800 or more. Recording fees – $25 to $75 to record title and other documents into public records.
- Move-in fees – if you're moving into a house, the homeowners association dues will usually be prorated, and will be no more than $200. If you're moving into a condo, initiation and monthly fees will almost always be required, and will vary from $100 to $500. Move-in fees for duplexes and townhomes will be within this same price range.
- Legal fees – Your lender's attorney will charge legal fees of approximately $250 to $600 for documents prepared on the lender's behalf as part of your loan package.

Relaxed. Chill. Organic. Palewave blurs the line between baby-shower and reality. If you follow Mick Jenkins or Tyler the Creator on Instagram, you've probably seen traces of palewave. The minutiae of sanctioned palewave fits can be oppressive, but its primary identifier will always be its unobjectionable light colors. In an effort to make the tenets of palewave more potable, here are the five essentials when fashioning a palewave aesthetic.
- White shoes
Totally not fake Stan Smiths that were apparently lived in by somebody who kicks ant hills for a living. Consequently, these Stans are considered "beaters" (modeled by Nicholas Purcell).
Palewave, heatwave, no-wave, close shave — doesn't matter: cop some white shoes. After mandatorily acquiring a pair of white shoes, you and your new shoes must commit to one of the following two options.
The first, beaters (pictured above), are exactly what they sound like. Should you designate your new white shoes as beaters, don't walk to class; mercilessly stomp through rain puddles and mounds of dirt to class. Why wear Crocs to a block party (or at all) when you can rectify your repugnantly clean white shoes by power-moshing at the Granada or lacing them around a power line? The latter will definitely give them that "lived in by Electro/Zeus" look some hipsters have been aiming for.
Your second option is to clean your shoes. Duh. For instance, Ultra Boosts demand perpetual maintenance. The hand-crafted leather shoes offered by Common Projects or Acne Studios are traditionally kept clean because of their price, which exceeds that of a credit hour at KU.
2. Light-wash denim
If you feel insecure about your fit's dearth of denim, feel free to double-up and curl into a light-wash denim burrito (somehow modeled by Logan Gossett. Photo by Nicholas Purcell).
"Upon this rock I will build my church," – Jesus, who might as well be referring to light-wash denim.
This is the most important article of clothing when scaffolding your palewave closet. Hot outside? Wear light-wash jeans. Cold rain? Wear light-wash jeans. Climbing Mount Everest? Wear light-wash jeans and take lots of fit pics — the snow presents a cool background. National light-wash jeans day? Screw that, don't conform; wear tan joggers to show off your new white shoes.
Not all light-wash jeans were created equal, however. If your denim has those loops for hammers (basically handyman lanyards), you've made a mistake. Turn around and return them to the Dillard's from which they came. While you're at the mall, cop some light-wash Levi's 511's or something from Dillard's or JCPenney.
3. Looking comfortable
This model may be sitting on uneven concrete slabs and fresh bird poop, but he couldn't look more comfortable. Pajamas are comfortable. Palewave just presents the illusion of comfort (modeled by Nicholas Purcell).
It can be difficult to look relaxed when all of your shirts look tensed and stressed — like they just got out of a long day at work. You want them to look relaxed. Raiding your dad's closet can yield lucrative hauls in this regard (see #5), but the line between relaxed and repulsive is uncompromising. Obviously, wearing obese Jared Fogle's jeans isn't a good aesthetic, but sizing up on a Gildan hoodie or two can't hurt. Also, oversized Gildan hoodies have 100% less affiliation with a known pedophile, so that's a plus (bonus point: Don't be Jared Fogle. Seriously, can't emphasize that enough.)
Shirts with minimal stretchiness are optimal for palewave fits. They typically fall onto your body rather than swathe it like jersey knits tend to. Oversized sweaters and hoodies are a reliable way to maintain warmth and comfort as Winter Is Coming. As far as bottoms are concerned, loosely pin rolling jeans will 1) expose those ankles to that sweet sweet breeze and 2) look good.
4. Dadhats
Kick that beanie off your head and hook that dadhat close. Dadhats can be just the icing that your earth-tone cake demands (modeled by Nicholas Purcell).
Sorry, beanies aren't an effective way to conceal a bad hair day for those surfing the palewave. Dadhats are artificially manufactured online through Amazon or Ea$y, but pasture-raised, organic dadhats – fresh from a dad's closet – are preferable. So find an effective dad-straction and conduct a quick closet raid for the best results. Dadhats have invaded seemingly every evasive cultural nook and cranny, and their next stop should be your head.
5. Pastel colors
Last and most important – which is definitely the most logical sequence – pastel is a prerequisite for palewave. No fit with colors outside of this limited and unfair spectrum fit a purist's definition of palewave (unless it's pink or otherwise palewave-y).
Authoritatively amicable, palewave's pointed approach toward color essentially prohibits the use of black or charcoal color schemes. Yes, I sold palewave as a relaxed super cool aesthetic. Yet, when it comes to color, you will be bombarded by earth-toned rocks and appropriately colored eggshells for deviating from pastels. Plus, part of the fun of palewave is looking like Easter after it was doused in bleach.

Law enforcement, Veterans, Firefighters
Law Enforcement Officers
The stresses you experience daily as a law enforcement officer have no counterpart in the civilian world. It seems as if only fellow officers can truly understand and you are rightly aware that revealing the level of your distress might have adverse career consequences. Honestly, its hard to admit them to yourself. Spouses can help a little but you, also rightly, know that there are limits both to what a spouse can understand and what they should have to deal with. Where do you turn?
Stress degrades proficiency; the only cure is strength.
I am a former Military Prosecutor and Army Intelligence Officer (Airborne and Ranger qualified), and civilian criminal defense attorney. And now I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in a unique position to help you. I understand your job and I know what you go through like few other therapists in Washington State. I worked with federal, state, and military LE everyday for 15 years. I remain proficient with a variety of small arms and long guns. My concealed carry permit is up to date. I spent 15 years in full contact martial arts. I appreciate the efficient management of aggression.
Psychotherapy for LEO requires strict confidentiality for obvious reasons. I do not take insurance or any payments from third-party payors. Therefore, there are no written reports, no formal diagnosis, no discoverable records. You are safer in my office than any place you have ever been. That's where we start.
You owe it to yourself, your loved ones, and your fellow officers to get the help you need. All it takes is courage – and a phone call – to get started.
The needs of veterans are unique because the experience of veterans are unique. Working with veterans exemplifies better than any other experience the old saying, "It takes one to know one."
My DD214 is dated 15 May 1991. I left service as a Captain after 12-plus years having served initially as a Military Intelligence officer in Germany, primarily with the 11th ACR in Fulda. Prior to that I successfully competed both Airborne and Ranger schools. Subsequent to that I received the Army's Funded Legal Education Program Scholarship and branch transferred the the JAGC where I was assigned as a prosecutor and defense counsel.
I had the great privilege of serving with some of the finest soldiers, NCO's and officers in all of the uniformed services. I respect and care about those who have served because I understand what they have experienced better than any therapist who has not been there and done that.
I speak your language – come talk to me.
I believe that the above experiences puts me in a unique position to assist firefighters with the stresses of a job few therapists can understand. For all those who serve, discipline, strength, and courage are shared requirements. The need for confidentiality seems parallel as well. A truly strong man or woman has the ability to recognize when help is necessary and the courage to do something about it. Bring the courage your profession demands into the field of your own self-care. Respectful help is available.
Make an appointment now
In the end, there is no substitute for just picking up the phone and making the call to set an initial appointment. I am here to help you make the changes that will make your fantasies into reality.

Over the course of the week leading up to the self self-selection, the thought of launching a new ART with no experienced Scrum Masters had been on my mind. How we would find the right people for those Scrum Master roles? I tend to choose what I read based on what is on my mind, so I had picked up my copy of +Geoff Watts's Scrum Mastery and reread a few chapters on my flights to and from Sydney that week.
I took two bright ideas away from this: (1) we had to reinforce the message at self-selection that the Scrum Master role "holds no authority", and (2) when asked to nominate a Scrum Master teams tend to know instinctively who will be the right fit. Inspired by this my first task on the day of the self-selection event was to track down the Release Train Engineers (RTEs) and suggest that rather than letting individuals self-select into the Scrum Master role we let the teams nominate their Scrum Master after the squads had been formed. They were agreeable so that became the new plan.
Now we had to get organised. Flip charts were drawn up for each squad and a Product Owner's photo added. Everyone else's photos were laid out on a trestle table at the front of the room. By 9:15am we had almost full house, so we decided to kick off. I opened with a quick run through of the agenda for the day, followed by the lead RTE who set the scene for why they had chosen to use self-selection as the approach to forming teams. Then it was back to me to run through the logistics for the morning.

What the locals say: Kelly Mune
Kelly's role as a Swim and Survive Instructor and now Lifeguard at the Oasis Regional Aquatic Centre means she gets to be social, talk to lots of different people – the elderly, fit and healthy, children and families.
Hailing from Brisbane where she grew up swimming, she was happy to start working at the Oasis when she moved to Wagga to earn her Bachelor of Health Sciences in Nutrition and Dietetics.
"Everything is so easy and affordable here in Wagga, so I've stayed and have been able to buy a house."
Kelly's time outside of work also reflects her active lifestyle.
Kelly's top five things to do in Wagga Wagga + Surrounds:
- Willans Hill: I have two maltese dogs, and I think the best place to walk them is over Willans Hill, then back through the Botanic Gardens.
- Pomingalarna Reserve: Mountain biking at Pomi is challenging as well as fun. There's always other people out there, and it's a great track.
- Oasis Regional Aquatic Centre: I see families come in at the start of my shift and with five pools, diving boards, inflatables, a canteen as well as BBQ facilities – they'll be there nearly my whole shift having fun.
- Gym: It's a great way to meet people as well as stay fit – there's plenty to choose from.
- Water polo at the Oasis: The competition in Wagga is really growing, and local players are really progressing in other competitions.

Thanks Hiten! I've actually always wanted to read the Qur'an.
Speaking of Islam being portrayed as "bad" in the West, I just read an Australian article which is a prime example of discrimination against Islamic culture (specifically Muslim) here. I commented but I doubt my comment will show up (damn censoring media).
It's absolutely disgusting how many bigots there are in this world. I think one of the biggest reasons for the discrimination against Islamic people is simply that all politicians need an 'enemy', something to scare people into obedience. Since 9/11, it has been Islam. And frankly, 90% of people in the world wont go out and actively find out what these so-called 'enemies' are like.
I watched a terrifying interview where some woman said she thought muslim women were 'scary' because she couldn't see their faces. I wanted to throttle her! Has she ever spoken to these women?
I live in a predominantly Muslim community and I love the people here. They're polite, warm, friendly and they make mean kebabs! If you ask me who's to blame for all this discrimination I'd point a big fat finger at the Bush Administration. They took an isolated group and deliberately generalized it to a whole nation, then a whole religion. They KNOW people are going to accept everything on face value and manipulated it into a way for them to wage war on imaginary nuclear weapons. This is getting a little OT, but basically, in my opinion, the reason why Islam is portrayed so horribly in the West is because the 99% of the rich and powerful of the West need an enemy. Because the Average Joe knows so little about Islam, then Islam is the best choice.
The rational me knows that only time and education can fix this issue, but the less rational me thinks we should invent some sort of brain scanning device that detects bigotry. Then, we should gather all those people in a room and either A) brainwash them into being decent human beings, or B ) ...kill them.
I'm a little fired up right now, so I'm leaning towards B.
lol, so that's my two cents.

MK Dons Ladies won the BBFA County Women's Senior Cup on Sunday evening after an impressive 3-1 victory over Woodley United.
Matt French's side, who saw off Maidenhead United and Stony Stratford Town in the previous rounds, emerged as victors from the weekend's final thanks to goals from Charly Wright, Heather McDonnell and Lil Stanton.
Speaking after the deserved triumph, manager Matt French told mkdons.com: "Tonight was a great occasion for the female section of the club, winning our first silverware in three seasons.
"All the credit has to go to the ladies for their approach because they worked really hard to get the result we needed against a side that haven't lost many games at all this season.
"This shows that the club is moving in the right direction and that we should be challenging for more honors in the future."
MK Dons chairman Pete Winkelman and MK Dons SET chief executive John Cove were among the Dons supporters which had made the journey to Abingdon to cheer their side on.
A number of the Girls Centre of Excellence players and their parents were also in attendance and captain Hannah Barrett was keen to say thank you for the support.
She added: "I am honored to have captained this side in this competition, and particularly in front of this crowd. It is great for us to see all of the support that is now coming our way from both key figures at the club and SET and also from the Girls Centre of Excellence.
"We are once again moving forward and it is great for us to put in a performance like that and for the Girls that will be the future of the Ladies set up to witness it.
"Now we are just looking to finish the season in the top four and we will be relatively pleased with the season and look to challenge again in the new campaign."
A full match report from the game will follow in due course.
The Ladies will be making an appearance in Middleton Hall at thecentre:mk on Wednesday 16th April from around 10am for anyone who wishes to congratulate them or find out more about and getting involved in women's football.
For further information on the Ladies, or on the up and coming girls and ladies trials please email email@example.com.

We summarised our work on George I and George II and moved on to life under the reign of George III...
...commencing with a brief look at the American War of Independence
"By the 1770s, many people in Britain's American colonies had become resentful of British rule. King George II's government enforced strict controls on trade to and from the colonies, and imposed increasingly heavy taxes on them, too. The colonist s felt this was unfair. As they didn't have any representatives in Parliament in London, they though they should only pay taxes approved by their own governing assemblies.
"One of the most infamous anti-tax protests took place in 1773, after the British refused to remove import tax on tea. Disguised as Native Americans, a party of men stormed a ship bringing tea into Boston port and threw its cargo overboard. This protest became known as the Boston Tea Party." (Usborne History of Britain, The Georgians, p.42)
On July 4th 1776, thirteen colonies, signed the Declaration of Independence, stating that the colonies were now an independent country -USA, and free from British rule.
The War against Britain lasted for seven years.
The Great Seal
Liberty Bell
Meanwhile, in high society Georgian Britain, everybody was drinking tea. The Duchess of Bedford invited guests for afternoon tea to stop 'that sinking feeling' between lunch and dinner and a new craze swept the nation. The lower classes copied and tea became the main meal instead of dinner.
I read extracts from Pride and Prejudice while the children poured tea.
Incredibly 4/5 of the nations' tea was most likely smuggled into the country to avoid revenue taxes. For a bit of memorable fun, the children attempted to smuggle bits and pieces in from the garage without big sister, Ballet Girl (studying for her Diploma in another room), realising what they were up to. The was much hilarity when she emerged from the living room and bumped into Monkey Girl carrying a wheelbarrow.

This table combines two of the most celebrated materials in outdoor furniture. A soft metal and a hard wood, Aluminium and Teak, are used efficiently and respectfully throughout with function and aesthetics in mind. Every AT800 table is designed with a perforated sheet metal tabletop that lets rain and light go through it, reducing the table's weight and creating a minimum of shadow underneath. In fact, the table has more void than matter.
The modular system employed on the tables, based on a injected aluminium corner-piece that slots over and links the table crossbars with the legs, allows not only multi-configuration but also for the whole thing to fold into a flat cardboard box, making transportation efficient.
