Close call with calamity
Volleyball champ survives health scare
No one would ever accuse Fred McConnell of being a couch potato.
At 70, the program head and professor of engineering at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College (JSRCC) is slim and fit, and plays volleyball three nights a week or more.
So McConnell was not too alarmed at first when his heartburn wouldn't go away.
Even after two months, when the chest discomfort did not respond to medication and his doctor recommended a stress test, McConnell shrugged it off.
"I just had a stress test a couple of years ago," he told his doctor -- who checked his records and countered, "No, it's been seven."
In those seven years, said McConnell, stress tests have changed considerably. His 2005 test was conducted on a treadmill with the physician in the room, monitoring his reaction to exertion.
The 2005 diagnosis? Chronic heartburn.
This time, his stress test was the nuclear version, in which a radioactive dye is injected into the bloodstream to help create images of the heart muscle and valves at work. The pictures showed that one of McConnell's heart chambers wasn't filling up as it should, and he was referred to a cardiologist for a heart catheterization.
Still relatively unfazed, McConnell scheduled the catheterization -- then rescheduled it a week later so that he could play in a volleyball tournament first.
"I was afraid they'd find something," he admits now. And find something they did.
'A real mess'
"I was only half awake," said McConnell, as he recalls coming out of the anesthesia after the catheterization. "But I remember the doctor telling me, 'You have a real mess in there.'"
Later, the cardiologist told McConnell he was surprised he had never had a heart attack -- though he saw signs that there may have been one of the "silent" variety.
McConnell consulted with a surgeon, who drew pictures of the three blockages and scheduled him for surgery two weeks later. Since McConnell was on spring break at the time, he asked the surgeon if it was okay to go back to work.
"That depends," answered the doctor. "Is your job stressful?"
McConnell chuckles as he recalls his answer.
"Not for me -- but maybe for my students!"
Finding a substitute to take over at JSRCC for the rest of the semester, McConnell underwent surgery on March 27. During the operation, a fourth blockage was found.
Nine weeks after his quadruple bypass surgery, McConnell traveled to Salt Lake City and won both silver and bronze medals at the USA Volleyball Open National Championships.
Rum and medals
More than 430 teams from around the world competed in the June championships.
A long-time member of the Richmond Volleyball Club, McConnell earned his silver medal as a member of the GROG-65 Team (pictured above) in one session, and his bronze medal in another session as a member of Team SOTA-70.
Team GROG, he says, takes its name from the acronym for "Greater Richmond Old Guys," but the name hardly fits any more. In addition to the Richmond players, McConnell has GROG teammates hailing from Texas, Colorado and Arkansas.
"Grog also was a rum drink for the British Navy," he adds, "so our uniforms have a rum bottle logo."
Last October, he won a gold medal in the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah, on a 65's team that was a blend of RVC and Canadian players. In a couple of weeks, he will head to Utah for this year's Huntsman tournament, and he looks forward to it.
"The weather in Utah is beautiful this time of year," says McConnell. "And it's a well-run tournament -- like a mini-Olympics."
'A second home'
A native of Gate City, Va., McConnell began playing intramural volleyball when he was a student at Virginia Tech. (The loyal Hokie and season ticket holder is actually a "triple dipper," having gotten his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in civil engineering at Tech.) During grad school, he says, "we would get the gym for an hour and play volleyball instead of basketball. The faculty was really into volleyball."
Moving to Richmond in 1972 to teach at the newly-opened JSRCC, following stints at Germana and Wytheville community colleges, McConnell was invited to play in volleyball leagues that eventually formed the basis of RVC (established in 1980).
"Now it's a second home," the Glen Allen resident says of RVC.
At his other second home, JSRCC, McConnell enjoys frequent visits and contacts from former students -- who, he says with a chuckle, "are often shocked to see I'm still teaching."
His daughter, a freshman at Christopher Newport University, recently told him that she had seen his reviews online on "Rate Your Professor" and noted that the only bad rating he got was for giving too much work.
"But I've never had a student come back and say, 'You worked me too hard,'" says McConnell.
"They say, 'Thank you for kicking my butt. I wouldn't have made it at [the four-year institution attended] if you hadn't."
Not long ago, in fact, McConnell says he got an email from a 1981 graduate of JSRCC who went on to get his bachelor's degree and professional engineer license at other schools.
"He said JSRCC was the best school he attended," recalls McConnell, "with the best professors."
At an age when most people have long ago retired, McConnell has no immediate plans to stop working -- or to stop playing volleyball. In fact, he not only goes to rehab once a week, but also frequently works out on the treadmill at Shady Grove YMCA.
"I don't sit around much. I have to [stay in shape] if I'm going to be competitive," he says.
After competing in the USA Open National Championships every year for 23 years, McConnell says he can't single out any one year as his most memorable -- but admits the 2012 Open is likely to stand out in his memory in years to come.
"Any time you get to the medal stand, that's an accomplishment on its own. But nine weeks after heart surgery?" he exclaims, making it clear that his close call with calamity renders the accomplishment all the sweeter.
And McConnell has a word of advice for anyone suffering from what seems to be chronic heartburn.
"If it doesn't go away, see your doctor," he says emphatically. "Especially if you're not active."

Urban Tavern's big, bold themes impress
The Urban Tavern opened in August, replacing the former Shackelford's space at 10498 Ridgefield Parkway in Short Pump. Because of local and longtime devotion to Shackleford's, Urban Tavern has some big shoes to fill.
Without any background information, I headed to the restaurant for dinner on a Wednesday night, two months after its opening.
On a perfect fall evening, four out of eight outdoor tables were taken, giving the impression that the restaurant was busier than it was. On the inside, a couple tables were taken, and a few folks were seated at the bar. > Read more.
A terrible, horrible movie. . . that's actually pretty good
'Alexander' provides uncomplicated family fun
It's not surprising in the least that Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day doesn't much resemble the book it's based upon.
Judith Viorst's 1972 picture book isn't exactly overflowing with movie-worthy material. Boy has bad day. Boy is informed that everyone has bad days sometimes. Then, the back cover.
In the film, the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad-ness is blown up to more extreme size. Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould) has a bum day every day, while the rest of his family (Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Dylan Minnette, Kerris Dorsey) exist in a constant bubble of perfection and cheery optimism – to the point that the family is so wrapped up in their own success that Alexander's being ignored.
So on the eve of his 12th birthday, Alexander makes a wish: just once, he'd like his family to see things from his perspective; to experience the crushing disappointment of one of those no good, very bad days. Once he has blown out the candle on his pre-birthday ice cream sundae, his family's fate is sealed: one full day of crippling disasters for all of them. > Read more.

With a 40# I'll be holding 46#; with a 50#, 56#. If I can dial the 50# back to 40# I'll have more versatility. I plan to hunt deer with this bow and I want to be sure I have enough poundage to get good penetration AND fairly flat trajectory. Is the Jaguar adjustable amd how is it done?

According to www.southernbmxstuntshow.com, "Southern BMX Stunt Show began as a dream for Owner Danny Harrison. Danny has been riding and competing in flatland BMX competitions for over 25 years. In 2012, Danny took his dream and made it a reality..."
"What we do is we travel around Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, and we show kids that you can have fun riding a BMX and translate that to you can do the same thing in school," Harrison said. "If you try hard enough, you can do anything.
"These guys want to do back flips, they learn how to do a back flip. Anything you put your mind to you can do, just think positive."
The three riders, including Harrison, performed a show for each of the school's third-, fourth- and fifth-grade class levels. The shows included music, stunts and messages from Harrison about staying focused in school as well as always wearing one's helmet when riding a bicycle.
Third-grader Caroline Morrison, who will be taking the CRCT for the first time, said her favorite part of the show was seeing a rider perform a back flip.
"I thought it was really cool; they work really hard so I was really happy for them," Morrison said.
According to the Georgia Department of Education, the CRCT "is designed to measure how well students acquire the skills and knowledge described in the Georgia Performance Standards."
Beginning in 2015, the state will no longer use the federally mandated CRCT and will base its testing on the Common Core Standards, which have been adopted by 46 states, including Georgia.
Two years ago, the state received a waiver from President George W. Bush's landmark No Child Left Behind, which called for the CRCT testing. In turn, Georgia has developed a College and Career Ready Performance Index and will abide by Common Core Standards as a means to show student progress.
Principal Ken MacKenzie said teachers at the school have been preparing students for the CRCT all year through individualized curriculums designed by the teachers themselves. He said events like the Southern BMX Stunt Show help ease some of the pressure associated with the CRCT and he encouraged parents to take some extra steps to help their children come to school ready for the tests.
"We ask the parents to do their best to get their students to bed on time the night before ..., I'd like to have them get here in the morning relaxed for school ... and just come in with a real positive attitude," MacKenzie said. "My phrase that I use is, 'every single minute, every single second,' and that means I want the kids who take the test [to use the all time available].
"That doesn't mean when you're done taking the test you need to go back and change 16 answers, ... but careless mistakes can be made."

With an unfavorable combination up the road in the opening stage of the USA Pro Challenge, it was left to the BMC Racing Team to do the chasing Monday to preserve the team's chances for the overall classification.
'Lucky To Bring The Break Back'
BMC Racing Team's George Hincapie and Michael Schär were in an initial 22-man move that formed immediately from the start of the 202-kilometer race. But with several race favorites in the group, including four riders from Garmin-Sharp, and the lead going out to more than five minutes, BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Michael Sayers said he told the team to start chasing. "It was not good for us, so we ended up working the whole day," Sayers said. "We were just lucky to bring the break back." The last of the escapees was only caught in the last three kilometers as Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp) took the stage win and the first leader's jersey. Schär, in 11th place, was the BMC Racing Team's best finisher.
Another Hard Stage Ahead
Hincapie said he wound up in the breakaway by being vigilant as the race immediately headed uphill from the start in Durango. "It was a strong move and we needed to have guys up there, so I made a really big effort to get in it," Hincapie said. "I arrived at the finish completely exhausted." Sayers said the hard effort put forth in a race that was nearly entirely uphill and featured occasional rain showers, may have a domino effect on future stages. Tuesday's 159.3 km race features an uphill finish. "Garmin burned a lot matches today and we burned a lot of matches today," he said. "I think that might change the dynamic of the race a little bit."

So much fun watching JV develop.
Failed alley-oop....facepalm
Terrance Ross.... ugh. Him and Valanciunas are going in different directions as the season winds down.
I don't want to make any kind of grandiose statements here but I THINK this Jonas Valanciunas character MIGHT stick in the NBA.
from +13 to -9 that's usual.
I like how the Detroit mediocre defense can "shut down" the Raptors offense. This stuff only happens to Toronto... and its pretty frustrating
3 straight awful, awful possessions by the Raptors compared to the Pistons getting wide open shots.
Well this game slipped away, but I love seeing JV stat line with 5 blocks.
Did Jose get an ovation or something?

from Tales from the Trail:
Panda diplomacy: the remix
The latest chapter in the long story of panda diplomacy was written at Washington's National Zoo, where the Chinese government agreed to lengthen the "loan" of popular panda pair Mei Xiang and Tian Tian for another five years. Actually, the loan is conditioned on whether they produce a new heir or heiress to the cuteness of panda-dom in the next two years; one or both could be exchanged for more fecund substitutes.
They have a good track record: Washington native Tai Shan, born in 2005, headed back to China last year.
This was a big enough deal for President Barack Obama to mention it at an elaborate state dinner at the White House for Chinese President Hu Jintao.
"Today, we've shown that our governments can work together, as well, for our mutual benefit," Obama told the glittering gathering. "And that includes this bit of news: Under a new agreement, our National Zoo will continue to dazzle children and visitors with the beloved giant pandas."

On a June morning in the year 1875, Maj. Cyril Palmer and his friend, Amos Maxwell, sat • in the hay window of the former's country house, discussing a certain weighty and private family a£= _^^_:L(jt. ■uiuzz. yno tuaay sixes serving an the l&te -wax—was a man- of 40, "bronzed, wrinkled, a- trifle gray, stem- featured and leaden-eyed. Though quite wealthy, he affected a disorderly pov- -jsrty of dress, arid indulged in those habits of cheap dissipation which mark the decadence of so many scions of- did and influential country families. Maswell-T-a small attorney, of political aspirations—was a very different man in ©utward sejnblance -to the ex-officer, though their characters were quite similar, in plaee of the Major's brown and jtoughened face,, ornamented "with a ©oarse nose, a thick bristly mustache arid those side whiskers-which define the lower line of the inferior maxillary bone, the lawyer presented a pale, sharp countenance, smoothly shaven, and almost devoid of character. The habits which had left the Major's cheeks and nose empurpled by tiny veins, which remained injected with blood, had-in-* creased the pallor of the attorney's face and made it more striking by sundry Mack specks and pimples, wliich were horribly suggestive of mortification*. In jjlaee of the Major's bull neck and rotund chest, his friend exhibited a throat like that of a turtle, and a cavernous thoracic region. Their dress, too, was almost at opposite extremes. Th* offi- ■cer sported ihis clothes, and tiie lawyer -was merely covered by his. The former . wore a dark-blue frogged frock coat, gray pantaloons, a small glazed cap "with gilt buttons, and carried a heavy snalacca.cane^ while the latter wore a conventional suit of rusty black, and a silk hat; half covered with bombazine in lieu of crape. , "If Ihad the whole property," remarked the Major,. "I could live very comfortably. It is not enough for two," " however; and the sooner I can get Liz married offithe better." " But she won't marry against the provisions of vour excellent father's-will." replied Maxwell,. " You can't make her marry young I)avis unless she wants to. Jf I understand it, she is to marry the one you.approve of,, or lose her half of the estate." ' ' ■ • "Yes:"; *.*,;..";* " Well, the chances are—you'il excuse me—the chances are that she will outlive you twenty" years. .' If you die, the whole goes toher, don't it?" "Yes." "Then what are you going to do about it? I don't-see how you can gain anything by her marrying." • 1* "I can't, upless I make her marry somebody 1 disapprove of." "She. isn't a "fool. She. won't marry for love in a cottage, and lose her property by it."'/ * Maj. Palmer was forced to confess that he didn't think it likely. ' No one who had &ver. seen the cold, still, dispassionate, totally selfish beauty of Elizabeth Palmer could have puspected her of any such weakness. "I know," said the Major, /'that she would give her right, hand to marry Bill Davis, but--—" VBut she wouldn't give $30,000." "No; she's fond of him—very fond of him—but she has sense with it; and, ■what is .worse, thinks that she will only have to wait a couple of years to see me torn iriy foes up; then she'll marry whom she likes, and have the whole pile to herself: 'Can't'get ahead of these women. 'There isn't any such thing in the book." " Fotunlesa you come to life after sh© msmes, arid object to her choice." "By Jove 3 Amos, I believe you hit it, Can't I fix that?" •'* What do you mean ? w• "Go off and leave a will; get some fellow to swear Fm. dead; let hes mairy Bavis, and then turn up unexpectedly and rais© thunder with the whole fehingi" "■ ..;'; ' " Too risky. It might pay to let on that you are dying, and trust to luck for her to anticipate yonr death. Xon might li© unconscious—non compos mentis, or something of that sort—for a few weeks, and be unable to say anything about the marriage. Then, just before the ceremony, you can get well enough to express an opinion against it, and, by virtue of your guardianship, claim that she has forfeited ail right to the estate. She needn't hear of it, though, till the knot is tied." "Can that be put through legally ?'* " Yes, by the aid of a Httle money!" " It will be worth five thousand dollars to you if you can do it." "I can try it, anyhow." "Amos, you're a trnmp J You and I were always good. Irienas, even wnen i used to lick you at school; and we ought to give each otnei: a lift whenever we can —eh?" "Yes; I will do all I can. It will be a slippery business, but I think I can do it." "Good! Lest us haye a glass of brandy and water on *it. My hand isn't very steady this morning, and I need a little something to regulate my nerves.". A few days after this, Cyril Palmer informed his sister that he felt " very- queer," arid was going to New York to consult a physician. lie had been threatened with an attack of mania a potu, and she naturally supposed that, as he still drank excessively, this tendency-Was returning. It is numiliating to my nu- manitarian instincts to be obliged tb confess that her only thought was of the probability of her speedy acquirement of her own liberty and her brother's share of the property. A letter from the city—received a fortnight later, and signed by a somewhat- celebrated, though unscrupulous, medical practitioner—conveyed her news of the Major's severe and perhaps dangerous illness. • She was warned that he might not live but-a few days longer; and, although he could not see any one save his nurse and -physioian just then, she must hold herself ready to visit him xo* f 'r^tajOT.'tim?'-, "She'iriimediately began maMng preparations for her marriage, as privately as possible, with young Bavis, who had squandered his own wealth, and desired to squander that, of the Palmers. Before long, another missive irom th% ''doctor announced that the Major lay in a state of apathy, unaTole to recognize any person, and evidently beyond, the reach of science. If his sister wished to see him alive, she had best come, at once. She did so, for the sake of the world's opinion, and found him in bed, in a darkened chamber, apparently unconscious. In a period of previous lucidity he had arranged all his affairs, and left her sole heir to and mistress of the entire property. Once assured *of this fact, the y6ung lady had no hesitation in prosecuting her plans. Amos Maxwell showed her the greatest friendliness, and finished by advising her to marry young Davis, if. she wished, immediately. "You will pardon me, Miss," he said, " if I speak plainly, but it is my habit. No one had a greater regard for your brother, the Major, than L We were fast friends from boyhood, though our paths differed widely. But he is now gone, as far as practical results are concerned, and I do not see why Ms'prejudices should be respected, when they are of such an unjust nature. I have often tried to reason him out of his dislike to (Mr. Bavis, but in vain. I drew up his testairient, and can assure you that, at the moment of his death, you will be entirely free in this respect. Now, ? if you wait till then, it will seem in bad taste to mariy before you have left off your mourning. My advice is for you to iaarry before you put it on." Tins was apparently sound counsel, and Bavis seconded it with all his might. Miss Palmer thought it over, coolly and collectedly, weighing all the chances, and finally decided that she had best follow the suggestions of her lawyer and her lover. In a very short sjftce of time all the arrangements for the wedding were completed. The Major, who was enjoying a loose sort of life in town, and really bringing himself nearer to his feigned condition than he would have liked to acknowledge, was kept" well informed of all the movements of Bavis and Miss Palmer by Amos Maxwell, who acted as legal adviser on both sides. On the eve of the marriage,, the lawyer suggested the possibility of a partial failure to the Major. "When they find you've recovered, they will use every exertion to retain possession of their half of the estate," said he; " and, though the terms of the wiE are explicit in commanding Elizabeth to marry according to your wishes, yet it is very difficult to. keep a legal heiress out of hev property by any such provision in this country. If they choose to go to law and fight hard, you will be likely to lose the suit." "The deuce I will!" "Yes; and the court may suspect a^ conspiracy, top—in which case ,ypd will' suffer. .It would be safest for you to get all your property out oi your hands before you attempt such a stroke." " How shall I work it? " . '' Oh, it is easy enough; make over all your real estate to .some friend, for the time being • then, if you fail, you -wpll at least have lost nothing." .,-.'*,'. * The Major, too ignorant of law to know whether this was sound or not, but placing implicit confidence in Maxwell; made over every cent he possessed" ) that gentleman; and expressed himes1 \ in the presence of several witnesses^ : z greatly opposed to the match his mat - was about to make—asserting that f. j would either prevent it'o? keep hesc i of her share of -lhe estate. Just after the ceremony had been p formed, Elizabeth Bavis, nee Palmer,: eeived & telegram from ^ew lost., - follows: Nasw Yobk, Oct. S, 185C. EuzABETHpAijiJEai Don't marry Davis:, _: am recovering, and forbid the marriage." Cram Pawiee The message fell like a thundert; 15 upon the newly-married couple,whol:\2, fancied Cyril dying. Before they had: -> covered horn their alarm and astonir-> ment, or decided what to do, the Mq ;? returned—looking a little worn out,rp: > haps, but by no means so emaciated .""3 they had reason to expect. His fc fc communication with his sister was a dc relaxation that he should never consent 'ia the match, and, if possible, should net allow her a farthing. Legal steps were immediately taken, and the §x-officer, having seen notlm* of his crony, Maxwell, for some days, called upon him for advice as to the bf'st mode of procedure. " I am sorry, my dear Major," said tho cadaverously respectable httle lawyer, " but I really cannot act in your behap any further." "What!" ■ "I have discovered that oor proceedings were illegal, and I cannot go on with them. Indeed, Ihave been retained by Mr. Bavis to conduct his side of the case!" - , The Major was the thunderstruk party now. " Why, you infernal little xascal,"«aid he, getting dangerously purple in ihe face, "what do you mean? Are.yon going to betray me ?" " Bon't use hard words, sir. . I know iny business, I believe; and this is my office." . ' v- " I know it is: and I take this opportunity of kicking you out of your own premises!" repHed the Major, with a terrific oath. The next moment Maxwell was sprawling on the walk, outside of his office door, slid .Palmer was standing over him brandishing his cane. ' 'Assault and battery 1 You shall &w» at for this 1" cried the lawyer. "Arid you smart for it now, don't y*v .5'* said the Major, laughing gliinlj C^3.<XCZ7££* ->*■'• ■* He did not laugh long, however. On sending to get the titles, etc., to the property which had been made over to the attorney, the latter returned word thatheknewnothmgaboutMaj. Palmer's affairs, and cared less than he knew. The property had been assigned'in due form, with all ihe necessary precautions, and Amos Maxwell eould keep it as well as not, if he chose. The fact dawned upon the Major's mind, gradually, that he had been a dupe and was now a beggar. Tn trying to overreach his sister he had been overreached himself, just as she had nearly fallen victim to her own covetous desire for his share of the parental legacy. - Having still the reputation of being wealthy, Maj. Palmer found httle difficulty in procuring another laivyer, and determined to leave no stone unturned • to be avenged upon Amos. He first engaged in a suit with his sister for the enforcement of the terms of the will, and . for a long time the war was waged with great skill on both sides. The indomitable unscrupulousness of Maxwell, who was retained by the defendants, triumphed finally, and the Major found himself without a home, without means and heavily in debt. There was nothing to be done except to wreak military vengeance upon all paities, so the ex-officer sat down and wrote to Amos, accusing him of having misrepresented, turned traitor, swindled and committed various other ungentle- manly actions, for all which he must have "satisfaction." The only answer to this was a warrant for the Major's arrest. Sending a challenge is an infraction of the law. As soon as tins new misfortune was settled, the victimized Major, still smarting for revenge, challenged Bavis, who readily accepted. Singularly enough, although -Maxwell lived in the same house with .Bavis—the former country-seat of the Major, in fact—and enjoyed the greatest intimacy with his quandam clients, he took4 no steps .whatever to have the challenger arrested again. On the contrary, lie counseled Bavis to fight, and- "settle the business once for all." The cold, gray daylight of a November morning broke upon a barbarous scene, enacted by Cyril Palmer, Wiil- iain Bavis and two or three of tlieir acquaintances. As the sun rose, dull and ghastly the simultaneous repdrfc of two pistols rang upori the misty air, and Bavis fell, dying, with a terrible wound iri his left side. - - - His antagonist,, who had raised a little money in expectation of the emergency, immediately fled to the West; where he remained in the obscurity of an incognito for a year, supporting himself Dy giving lessons in boxing, fencing, riding, etc., is a small towri. ,The life he was leading there, however, grew; insupportable, and hoping io effect a reconciliation with his sister he wrote to;a friend in New York if it would be safe toxe- turn. THe reply he received s?ave him hope and confidence, fains haa been taken to hush tiie duel up, and a rumor, ingeniously circulated, had given the pubHc to Understand that Bavis had accidentally shot himself while out gunning. *.' -.,',> One week from the date of trie letter that bore this welcoriife intelligence fhe Major entered a restaurant in New York, where he had just arrived, and,takinij'a seat in one of the boxes, ordered break-1 fcafe, He was worn by travel and changed by Ms year's experiences.

It was still early, and the only persons in the saloon were the barkeeper and this one waiter. While the latter vfas gone, the barkeeper heard a groan—a convulsive movement—& struggle in the box where the Major sat—and ran tasee what was the matter. f^ It was not much—the Major to only dying of apoplexy I He had come to New York with a strong belief that he could work upon his sister's feelings of sympathy and pity sufficiently to persuade her into allowing him to live with her free of expense. He promised himself that he would behave kindly toward her, and pass the rest of his days in quiet idleness, without harming; anybody, or being harmed. After the existence he had led, this prospect seemed delightful to him, and it is not strange that his disordered and ruined system should have given way under the shock which the following newspaper announcement gave him. as heranhis eye down tne marriage notices : . . "Maxwell—Bavis—On the 10th, at Palmer's Landing, by the Eev. Joha Biblebanger, Amos Maxwell, Esq.,..to Mrs. Elizabeth Palmer Bavis, relict of the late Wm. BaviSj all of Pahner*s Landing." So* while the one rascal- was entering npon the enjoyment bf the entire Pal> m.et estate of over ,$60,000; the other ' rascal was dying alone and unfriended.

A Classic Bninftard, .; ;.> Tf +heiyx/AzlAr,zc_jJrr^z~rz'*^:rt'fzj ihv fact correctly, the barkeeper was "about to close up. He had said so several times, andhad put out all the lights but one. The old fixtures had shook the sawdust from their feet and reluctantly directed their footsteps homeward. Only a stranger appeared, a dark, saddened man, who sat demurely on; a stool and kept his thumbs revolving around each other like white mice turning a wheel. When the coast was clear he stepped up to the bar and said softly: "May I whisper a word in your ear ? " ''You may, mister, if you will be quick about it," replied the drink-maker, withhi3 hand on the lamp-screw. "I want you to fill me a fiask of your best whisky for family sickness," said the stranger, drawing out an ancient wallet,"with twenty fathoms of leather string wound around it,—a well-worn wallet that looked as if all the waves and billows of bad luck had beat upon, it, and gone over it and through it, and flattened it and washed it out clean. The barman filled him up a pint, shoved down the cork until it 'squeaked, wiped the. bottle dry and sat it upon the counter. "The autumnal air is getting a trifle tartish." soliloquized the stranger. "Would you have any objection to my taking a little liver paflder from mv bottle?" • " He filled the tumbler quite full, took it as he did paragoric in the days of his infancy, and then remarked : "Perhaps, on the whole, as the night has far waned, and my family are on their spiral springs and in their trundles, you'had better put my bottle away on the upper shelf, and when Phcebus Apollo begins to canter his. golden prancers along the avenues of the pur-- pling east, I will call for it, and you may; then assess me the appropriate ariiount of ducats." The barkeeper sprang over the bar and began to kick him. "What J" he said sweetly, "you kick me after Ihave drank? Bon't yon know better than that? Kick me with both feet—I cannot feel you even then. Before I took that glass, if you had but shook your fist at me you would have wounded me—hurt me; but now I scorn the physical punishment. Good-night," he said, as he stood on the doorstep. . "I see by the shadow on the sidewalk that you have kicked me again. You should remember, my irascible publican, jshat fche dear old poet said : ' Pate cannot harm me now, I ha^je dined to-day.' So say L I have drunk to-night. Goodnight, taverner J How much the sparkling firmament looks like a far-off city, Ut up for a festal night 1 Farewell!" I shall see yon later." |_ The King of Boosts. A recent traveler in Central' Africa says: "Lions are one of the dangers, between Zanzibar and the great lakes. They sometimes ' hunt game in packs of six to eight. Some animals show fight against them successfully/ Lions never venture to attack the adult elephant and even avoid the t buffalo, unless.theyare more than two to one. Tn general they do not attack caravans, and never in day-time. At most a hungry lion may. spring upon and carry off a straggler while* passing through the brakes and jungles. But it is otherwise at night. When lions scent the caravan frorri afar, particularly if it contains goats or beasts of burden, they approach and announce their vicinity by terrific roa?s. N§ver^ theless,. in a well-inclosed camp there is no danger; the lions, never attetriM to '. clear the obstacles, and marksinen from behind the palisades can pick them' off with almost urifailirig aim. Theie, ip danger only when the camp is not completely inclosed^ or when those inside gp out to attack them.*' feuaMfng af fla Miilor* •It is not uncommon to hear of a man who'has not .Sense enough to go tothe mill, but it would seem slanderous to saj that the majority of men who are always complaining of the millers have riot sense enough to see that the majority of the difficulties complained of arise from faults or conditions that the farmer may correct. At least Mr. J. HolHster, now farmer, once a miller, says as much to the AdrisHi Farmers' Club in a paper on the milling question. One would sup- # poseithat farmers would know enough tc ' take Only clean wheat to mill "when they wish good flour. But the fact is, the majority take no pains to. clean out all coekle, cheat, hght and sprouted wheal and filth. They carry a grist of such a mixture to the miller, %nd ask him. to give them for it as much prime flour a? can be made from an equal weight oi pure plump wheat " • The miller must discount dirty, chaffy wheat. He can give only as mnch good flour as the good wheat will make, less the toll. For cleaning ithe gets wellpaidinthe screenings, which go for feed, and wliich the farmer had better kept at home. Mr. Hollister advises such men to thoroughly clean iheir grain before going to mill. , * "Again, some, farmers think a clean, thing can come out of an unclean one, or .piire flour or meal can, come out of a filthy old bag that, perhaps has been used for carrying out rotten potatoes from the cellar, arid moist and dirty, thrown down to mould, to be picked up, in a hurry arid carried off to bring home the flour in. The, very men who take dirty wheat in dirty sacks are the chaps who complain that'they .get,short returns and poor flour from their. griBts> arid as this class of men take only a two bushel sack at a time, their poor wives are never sure how that new batch of flour is going to act, and bread-making fe all luck and chance in ihat household. *^Ir. HolHrtes s^ys. thres'&ces'?.. yeir "isj often enough to" go to miii. vi"rie iloyr, if packed in paper sacks, will grow bet-' ter every day, and better flour is made from large grists. Old flour is the best, because the water has evaporated, and the flour has become drier and stronger. Now these facte we have before presented in these columns, and for these' reasons it is our custom to go to mill but once a year, except for, ground feed.for the stock. After the wheat is threshed we clean up thoroughly enough to furnish the family bread for a year. This, with barrels to hold the flour, and sacks to hold the bran and shorts, go in one load to the mill. 'We tell our miller we are in no hurry for that grist, but some day in October or November, when the weather is cool enough, and nofc too cold, and when the mill is in the best order, we wish him to do his best work, for which we pay by the barrel. We thus* get the best for the least outlay. The -.miller likes that way, and the housekeeper has" a staple article of flour, that she knows how to manipulate. Bread- making is thus reduced more nearly to a regular and reliable operation—from, which uniform results may be expected. - If .a farmer must, from force of jhabit, go. to mill with one sack of wheat, he will get better flour fo exchange .wheat for flour.—Cincinnati Commercial. , Lord Bacon. Francis Bacon was born at London,' Jan. 22.1561. His father, Sir Nicholas, Bacon, was Lord Keeper of the Great' Seal under Elizabeth. Soon after completing his twelfth year, he wfent to* Cambridge, where he distinguished Mm- self. He traveled On the continent, and returned to England in 1579 on account of his father's death In 1582 he Was admitted to the bar,- and in 1589 became a member of Parliament, and in 1590' Counsel Extraordinary to the Queen, a distinction almost without example for one so young. In 1606 he married Alice Baraham, the daughter of a rich London merchant, and the" succeeding year was made Solicitor General, and in 1613 became Attorney General and a member of the Privy Council; in 1617he. became' Keeper of the Great Spal, and the- following January was. made Lord High "Chancellor, the highest civil office to which any subject could then attain. In .the following July he was created Barou ' Verulam, and admitted to the House of Peers, and m 1619 became Viscount Saint Albans. In 1620 he published his greatest work, the. "Novum Oygaamm." He. was ? accused of accepting bribes, and, though at first strongly asserted his innocence, yethe afterward confessed his "guilt, and was sentenced May 3, 1621, to pay'a fine of f£40,0()0 and to be imprisoned at the King's pleasure. -.He was shown every indulgence, being sent to the Tower but released two days after, and the fine was remitted. He was allowed an "income of £1,500, a sum equal to five times that amount at the present tday. He died April 9^ |1862." His works are numerous, the best known being his "Essays," the "Novum Orgauum," " On the,Wisdom of the Ancients,"etc., He is described as one of the most illustrious of modern philosophers.

Increasing Self-Esteem in Recovery
If I spend time thinking about the various issues specific to addicted clients I come up with a few central themes. Many people need to find a sense of purpose, some need to find a sober place to live, and others need to find a way to earn income or repair family relationships. However, what is needed to follow-through on any of these tasks is a sense of self-esteem, or what I like to call 'Emotional Competence' or EC. I think of of EC in this way: are you up to the task at hand? Do you have the ability and wherewithal to follow-through? It seems to me that if you don't like who you are and you can't take ownership of the successes in your life then it's very likely you'll never like who you are. I am convinced that there is a direct relationship between poor self-esteem and giving away all of the credit in your life to a higher power.
While there are many causes of poor self-esteem, I am not convinced it is necessary that you need to know why you dislike yourself. All of the reasons we dislike who we are tend to manifest in the same way and the end result is the same: poor self-esteem, diminished self-confidence, and a poor self-concept. Rather than focus on changing the past (which is generally impossible) let's use this time to focus on how we can feel better about our place in the world. I want to posit seven ideas for change. It's important to try and change how you feel about yourself as poor self-esteem can lead to relapse.
1) Sentence completions: on a piece of paper start with a sentence that says "I like myself because" and complete the sentence as many times as you are able. If you feel blocked you can try "I could like myself if….." and complete several sentences. Note any patterns and share what you learned with a trusted friend or mentor and ask for feedback.
2) Affirmations: I could spend hours writing about affirmations so I will simply encourage you to look online for ways to create affirmations. When you complete affirmations just remember: they need to be said in the present, they need to be realistic, and they need to include a level of risk. When I say 'level of risk' I am simply suggesting that you can read them aloud, read them to yourself in a mirror, write them on a piece of paper, read them into a tape recorder and play them back, or you can go for the highest level of risk and read them to another person.
3) Forgiveness: I suspect we all have done things which are less than flattering to our ego. It will be likely that many times the stupid thing you have done will simply work itself out and people will see that you made a mistake and will be able to let go of their annoyance about you and your actions, so take heart in that. Other times the act perpetrated against us is so great that forgiveness seems like too huge a leap – perhaps we can begin by remembering that forgiveness is about forgiving the person and not the act. Seek more support if this is a block to you....

Ruben Rodriguez Ayala, 29, of Patterson was arrested on the 200 block of South Fourth Street on Tuesday, June 19, around 5 p.m. in connection with a 7:30 p.m. Saturday shooting in Patterson that left one Patterson woman injured. He was booked into the Stanislaus County Jail on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, being a felon in possession of a firearm and carjacking.
The other shooting happened Saturday at about 2:30 a.m. According to Sgt. Anthony Bejaran of the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department, a 43-year-old and 26-year-old woman were injured while sitting on a park bench on the 8600 block of Stakes Street in Grayson.
No arrests have been made in that incident.
Police learned of Ayala's whereabouts through investigation Tuesday, Patterson Police Sgt. Paul Yotsuya confirmed.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was shot just before 7:30 p.m. June 16 in Patterson.
Ayala and another unidentified woman had forcefully entered the victim's car near Olive Avenue and Highway 33, according to a source close to the victim, who did not want to be identified for fear of retribution.
The source said the victim was driving on Highway 33 on her way to a relative's house on the 900 block of Mary Jane Avenue when a man and a woman jumped into her vehicle and told her to "drive."
The three ended up near South Del Puerto and Sperry avenues, where the assailants exited the car.
The man then shot at the driver through a rear passenger-side window with a large-caliber handgun, according to the source, and the bullet passed through the center console into her groin and leg. The assailants then ran away, the source said.
After the pair fled on foot, the victim drove to her relative's house on Mary Jane Avenue, where relatives called 911 for help, the source said.
The victim was hospitalized locally and released after 24 hours. She is recovering from her injuries, the source said.
Yotsuya confirmed the story Wednesday, June 20, and police are still investigating a motive for the shooting, he said.
A large caliber handgun was recovered in connection with the shooting by police, Yotsua said.
Bejaran said there is no connection to the alleged carjacking and the two women shot in Grayson earlier that same day.
The victims in that shooting told investigators that someone in a four door-sedan approached them and shot once, injuring both with a single bullet, Bejaran said.
That incident remains under investigation, he said.

I am writing on behalf of the Stanislaus-Merced Building and Construction Trades Council regarding recent protests that were staged in Patterson by carpenters from Local 152. This action was not and is not endorsed by the delegates of our council, in which the carpenters are not affiliated.
I would like to state that the majority of those working on the Patterson Amazon facility who are skilled in trades are local area contractors or contractors who will utilize local area hiring halls for manpower. However, there are some out-of-state contractors who will be bringing their own labor force, meaning they will not use local workers, and those wages will not stay in our community.

I am so deeply disturbed by this advertisement.
I think it's very strong and that everyone should be informed about rape but when it came up in my Spotify I felt so distressed and had to turn the volume off.
The fact that we are forced to listen to such a strong advertisement without having a choice of whether to listen to it or not makes me feel a bit apprehensive about whether to use Spotify again.
I don't want to feel sick just because I want to listen to music. Having said that, a big hug to all those who have suffered from rape.

The University of Nebraska Foundation is a private, nonprofit corporation that has provided financial support for the University of Nebraska since 1936. The foundation bridges relationships with alumni, friends, corporations and other foundations interested in a high-quality, affordable public university for Nebraska. Private support is vital to the university's success in areas such as student scholarships, faculty fellowships and endowed chairs, academic programs, new or renovated facilities, athletics, research programs, museums and libraries.
In 2009, the university announced its largest comprehensive campaign in history, the Campaign for Nebraska: Unlimited Possibilities. The campaign set out to raise $1.2 billion for critical university initiatives including financial aid, faculty support, global engagement, agriculture and life sciences, information technology and business, cancer care and research, architectural engineering and construction, water for food, and early childhood education.
In May 2012, the foundation announced that gifts to the Campaign for Nebraska had surpassed the $1.2 billion goal, with support from more than 80,000 people and organizations for all four campuses of the University of Nebraska. With this momentum, the campaign continues to focus on priorities through its conclusion on Dec. 31, 2014.
Students, who are the lifeblood of any university, have been an important focus of this campaign, and more than $220 million has been generously given for scholarship support, including permanently endowed funds providing annual scholarship awards. To learn more about the campaign, visit campaignfornebraska.org.
Alumni and friends gave $236.7 million to the University of Nebraska in 2013, making it the University of Nebraska Foundation's best year ever for private gifts. This record represents a 43 percent increase over the last fiscal year and a 37 percent increase over the previous gift record of $172.1 million in 2011. These funds were directed by donors to support many areas including student and faculty support, research, academic programs, campus and capital improvements, alumni associations, and museums, libraries and fine arts programs.
The University of Nebraska Foundation's offices are located near the university's campuses in Lincoln, Omaha and Kearney. To learn more, visit nufoundation.org.

|Romertopf (4/5)

I bought the Romertopf from Eric having never used a clay baker before.
I've used the Romertopf with different types of dough but they excel with the wetter doughs....i.e.the no knead types.
They do keep the steam in the oven so to speak and make a very nice crust.
Very good with sourdoughs.

|I don't know how soon it will be until I bother using my dutch oven again. No knead was a personal revelation to discover it but this trumps even that. Do you want bread that looks like its from a magazine? Do you want bread that tastes better then your favorite bakeries product? This is it.
