Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano victims of cup upsets
Real Betis and Osasuna both overturned deficits from the first leg to progress to the last 16, while Málaga survived a late scare to see off Segunda B side Cacereño.
Real Sociedad became the second victims of a cup upset in this season's Copa del Rey after they were knocked out of the tournament by Segunda División side Córdoba following a 2-2 draw in Anoeta.
The Basques lost the first leg 0-2 and coach Philippe Montanier sent out a strong side containing the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Chory Castro, Rubén Pardo and Imanol Agirretxe in an attempt to overturn the deficit.
They got off to the perfect start when Griezmann opened the scoring on 20 minutes, and despite the Frenchman being offside when Pardo played the ball into him, the goal stood.
The visitors reacted well to going behind but could not create any real chances. Chory Castro came close to doubling the lead while Griezmann managed three attempts at goal with his head, but none of them went in.
La Real's chances dried up in the second half as they struggled on a rain soaked pitch, and Kike made their task all the harder when he headed in a free-kick to equalise, meaning the hosts needed a further three goals to win the tie. Dubarbier then sealed the upset with a goal just six minutes later, and although Agirretxe got a late equaliser, it was not enough to prevent La Real from exiting the competition.
Other results
Osasuna beat Sporting Gijón 2-0 at the Reyno de Navarra stadium thanks to second half goals from Joseba Llorente and Rubén to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg and progress to the last 16.
Real Betis swept Real Valladolid aside 3-0 to romp into the next round. Betis took a first half lead through Amaya to level the score on aggregate, but substitutes Beñat and Vadillo controlled the second half, and their passage to the next round was sealed with a goal by Rubén Castro and an own goal by Jesús Rueda.
Málaga lost 1-0 to lowly Cacereño at the Rosaleda but still qualified for the last 16, despite a late scare.
Manuel Pellegrini's men won 4-3 in Cáceres, meaning the Segunda B side had to win by more than one goal. Chapi's second half goal gave the visitors hope but despite a flurry of late chances, and a disallowed goals, they were unable to get that all important second.
Las Palmas held Rayo Vallecano to a 0-0 draw to book their place in the last 16. Their task was made easier when Rayo goalkeeper Rubén Martínez was sent off for handling the ball outside of his area late in the second half.

You guys have been a great help. Thanks a lot
It seems my data connectivity issue is unrelated to the ROM i'm using. I must have caused it while tinkering or trying to update firmware. Now I'm on Evervolv with the same issues. Both Carbon and Evervolv are mostly stable with cell signal for calls and wifi, but no mobile data.
Radio 1.22.10.0310r/1.22.10.0308r
Is there something I can flash via a PH98IMG.zip that might fix this issue? Or maybe it's an issue with Verizon that they could fix?

New Orleans media growing weary of Saints' arrogance
Posted by Mike Florio on April 6, 2010 1:47 PM ET
Today's item from Rosenthal regarding Saints spokesman Greg Bensel's frustrated response to media e-mail inquiries regarding the disappearance of 1,200 seats at the Superdome for 2010 is the latest example of some heavy-handed behavior by an organization led by a Bill Parcells protege who finally has the hardware to justify periodic boorish behavior.
Before the Saints won the first Super Bowl in franchise history, our pal Mike Freeman of CBS teed off on the Sean Payton regime, pointing out the coach who looks like Malcolm in the Middle has been acting a bit more like one of Malcolm's older brothers.
Based on a review of the e-mails that Bigad Shaban of WWL-TV exchanged with Bensel, it appears that the organization wants the local media to behave like an extension of the P.R. department, trumpeting the positive news and overlooking anything that may cast the Saints in a negative light.
Said one member of the New Orleans media who asked to be kept anonymous for fear of retaliation from the team, "That story truly shows how the Saints treat the local media. . . . If your name isn't Costas, King, Glazer, or Werder, the team completely bullies and blows you off."
The source also tells us that Shaban isn't the only local reporter who has received borderline hostile e-mails from the team.
This attitude from the Saints toward the local media is unfortunate, and it's wrong. The Saints have benefited from an enormous amount of goodwill from people in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana. It doesn't mean that the organization has earned the privilege of never being called out or questioned by the folks who cover it.
In fact, the Saints should welcome the attention. When the decisions and actions of a pro sports team isn't being scrutinized, it's only because the team has become irrelevant.

Investigating the murders of two men whose bodies were found grotesquely displayed in a garden, Captain Natalia Monte of the Carabiniere is forced to confront her own complicated past while navigating violent elements in Naples' decadent art scene and criminal underworld. - (Baker & Taylor)
Jan Merete Weiss's Italy comes to life as Captain Natalia Monte of the Naples Carabiniere returns to investigate a murder committed at the heart of the great city's art community.When the bodies of two men are found, shockingly posed, in the garden of an elderly countess, Captain Natalia Monte of the Carabiniere is assigned the case. Soon she finds herself shuttling between Naples's decadent art galleries and violent criminal underworld. If she is to succeed in solving the heinous crime, Natalia must deal with not only her own complicated past and allegiances, but also those of the city as a whole. A riveting and poetic exploration of the violence that lurks in the heart of beauty. - (Random House, Inc.)
Jan Merete Weiss grew up in Puerto Rico. She studied poetry and painting at the Massachusetts College of Art and received a Master's degree from NYU. Her poems have appeared in various literary magazines. She lives in New York and lectures at Lehman College. - (Random House, Inc.)
Booklist Reviews
Carabinieri Captain Natalia Monte (These Dark Things, 2011) has one foot solidly planted in law enforcement, but the other dangles in her old Naples neighborhood, which is awash in organized crime. Natalia thinks she's seen the worst of Naples' underworld until she responds to a report of two bodies discovered in a countess' garden. The men are posed naked astride a horse sculpture with evidence nearby indicating a traditional vendetta killing. A little digging reveals that the victims were homosexual, and, considering the routine attacks on Naples' gay community, Natalia can't eliminate that factor as a possible motive. But depraved camorra boss Ernesto Scavullo lurks in the background, and Natalia senses his connection to the murders. At the same time, Natalia's former partner and lover Pino returns, forcing her to finally confront her feelings. Weiss' cast is outstanding: gifted, tortured Natalia shares the stage with dangerously exotic Naples and the camorra's simultaneous roles as parasite and protector. Highly recommended for police-procedural and international-crime-fiction readers. Copyright 2014 Booklist Reviews.
Library Journal Reviews
Confronted by a dramatically staged murder of two gay lovers posed on a statue in a countess's backyard, Capt. Natalia Monte of the Carabiniere ponders motives. Hate crime, yes, but is it antigay or instead, a passionate statement left by another lover? It takes her connections with female mob bosses to ferret out the real story behind the deaths of these two men—an art curator and a tabloid reporter. As her investigation deepens, successive murders threaten to make Naples look like a homophobic murder capital. Ernesto Scavullo—a particularly loathsome mob boss—looks heartless enough to orchestrate such carnage. But beyond these lurid sexual liaisons lurks a secret motive dating back to World War II. Natalia must ascertain what has stirred up all this wrath, and why now. VERDICT Fans of Weiss's series debut These Dark Things who have been awaiting a sequel will find their patience well rewarded by this strong follow-up. Alternating between wistful and doggedly pragmatic, Weiss's protagonist walks a fine line as a Neapolitan cop.

The Pretty Reckless' Taylor Momsen Shares Naked Album Art Inspiration
The Pretty Reckless are having one huge year thanks to their 'Going to Hell' album. And while the disc stands on its own musically, it doesn't hurt that frontwoman Taylor Momsen is baring her backside on the album's cover. In fact, Momsen recently spoke with Rolling Stone about posing nude for the cover and where the inspiration came from.
Momsen said of the decision, "We're all naked when we're born. If you find it shocking, that's your own perception." She went on to add that some of the artists who have posed nude over time probably didn't think it was shocking either. She points out, "I don't think John Lennon was trying to shock people when he was naked on 'Two Virgins.' He was just trying to be as honest and raw as he could and that's what my intent is with nudity."
Momsen's bare back and behind aren't the only things drawing the eye either, as the blackened cross-meets-arrow symbol that the band has been using is emblazoned as a giant back tattoo. She explains, "That came from Pink Floyd. You know that photograph of the women sitting by the pool nude with all the record covers painted on their backs? That's one of my favorite posters, so I stole the idea."
The rest of Momsen's interview can be found in the new issue of Rolling Stone.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Thank you for posting your question on Just Answer! I will be happy to help you with this problem. Can you please give us some more information so I can better answer your questions.
-What is the light on the front doing?
-Is the clicking noise coming from the back or the speakers?
-How old is the unit?
When it was on, was the picture 100% perfect?
There are a couple things we have seen cause this. We see a lot of the times a few capacitors in the power supply fail and cause it to shut down. However we have also see the logic board and main board cause this. Do you know how to use a meter? If so I can help you troubleshoot/repair this. If not, you will need a engineer at this point, the bad news is repair generally runs around $300-400.

The next Note 10.1 will probably have the quad Exynos 5 with Mali-658, clocked at upwards of 1.8 GHz. Along with the same resolution as the Nexus 10 (maybe higher), and an upgraded S-Pen.

I would absolutely recommend this lawyer! He maintained regular communication with me while always keeping me updated on my case. He will fight for you and his representation will ensure you receive justice. Without him and the lawfirm he works in I would still be fighting alone in this and completely stressed out. I would recommend over and over again to get Mark Troutman to represent you as your lawyer!
Posted by Ben
My organization was involved in a complicated legal battle last year. Mark and his firm always made those of us involved feel as though we were an integral part of the process. Our side prevailed in the end however, I am convinced that we would not have won were it not for the efforts of Mark and his firm.

What is the nature of the slanderous comments? If you do a Google search do you pick up these slanderous comments?
Yes. They are all over the place.
The SEO on google.
They are mostly comments that relate to our company as "Fraud", "Misleading", and so on
Video labled "Behind the smoke and mirrors"
One great example:
We were voted into the World Finance 100 by the London Stock Exchange for 2012
The award was given to us to place on the site
And so...we did
The new 2012 list comes out on January 4th.
So the client decided that since we dont appear on the 2011 list.....he will post and repost on over 700 sites how we fabricated this award
We tried explaining, but there is no one to speak to. Its an obession.
So we closed the account, refunded his money.
That did not help either
Meanwhile, it seems that I am pretty stuck with this guy and no real solution. Never encountered such a nut.
Any advice?
I had to switch from chat because I could not see your responses. Your solution is to sue for slander. If you are in the US you can sue in the state from which you operate. There is something called business defamation which is some thing that defamatory of your business that is false. You have the right to pursue such an action against the person making the false statements. If you get a judgment of slander, or you reach a settlement where the person agrees to retract the statements as false, Google will take them off their listing. You can check with Google directly on what they can do and what they need to do it. HOwever, to get Google to act you need to start your defamation suit.
If this answer is responsive to your question, please accept it. That is how we are compensated. It would also be appreciated if you provided feed back on your view of the answer. Finally, if the answer was especially helpful you can provide a bonus. If I can be of further assistance or you have other questions in the future you can ask for me and reach me at this site.

The Sensationalists' Expectations-Free Pop-Rock
The origins of upstart Milwaukee band The Sensationalists are no
different, but at some point between the myriad of bands and ever-changing
lineups emerged a group of musicians who just want to have fun, write the best
pop-rock songs they can and play them to anyone who cares to listen.
The Sensationalists' lead singer and
guitarist Jackson Kesy spent much of his middle- and high-school days playing
in bands such as In Debt, Seven Hours Wasted and Drago, all of which included
drummer Skot Worby and some of them lead guitarist Dustin Mayer. Now in his
mid-20s, Kesy recognizes his new band's collective change in perspective.
we were younger, we would tend to focus more on impressing people," Kesy says.
"Now we all kind of sit back and listen to each other. Nobody tries to dominate
a song."
The band came together in autumn 2008
when Kesy and Worby, who'd just dissolved longtime band Drago, fell into a
project with Mayer, bassist Ben Green and auxiliary player Brian Tapola, who
themselves were fresh off previous stints as Nightlife and Arms of Versailles.
Tapola, too, says the members are taking
a different, more mature approach in The Sensationalists.
"We stripped away any pretenses we've
had in the past to just focus on songwriting," Tapola says. "No one's boner is
bigger than anyone else's in the band, and we're not competing. It's all about
serving the song."
Together with a like-minded,
music-first implementation, the five-piece has spent its first year and a half
largely secluded from the stage, playing only about a dozen shows. They've put
more focus on crafting and recording material they're proud of and taking the
time to learn to play better together.
definitely easier than the last few projects I've been in because the writing
process is a little more collaborative," Kesy says."I used to write every part of a song
and just tell people what to do.Now, I bring a song in and everyone suggests parts and
changes. I don't have to worry about writing other people's parts because
everyone is better at their instrument than I am."
The collaborative concept resonates
throughout the band. Each member does their part to instill the greater good in
terms of the band's sound.
"In other bands there was always
competition, or compensation for someone else's mistakes or lack of whatever,
but in this band I have nothing to worry about when preparing to play," Tapola says. "We just let one
another do what we do and The Sensationalists is what you get."
The Sensationalists seems to be the
positive and productive endpoint to numerous failed, half-baked or flamed-out
projects that came before it. And while many of the ingredients haven't
changed, the recipe seems to have improved with time.
think we all understand how bad it can get playing in a band.The highs and lows are so extreme that
you have to just tune it all out," Kesy says. "We often remind each other that
we're doing this as a distraction from our mundane little lives.Now we just drink some whiskey and have
a good time."
The Sensationalists play at the Bay View Brew Haus on Friday, June 18.

Medium may be gone, but series creator/executive producer Glenn Gordon Caron is staying put at CBS TV Studios with a new two-year overall deal. The new seven-figure pact with CBS, where Caron is very well liked, will extend his relationship with the studio to two decades. The focus of the deal will be on developing new projects, starting with the upcoming broadcast development cycle. Moonlighting creator Caron, repped by WME, previously created and executive produced CBS Studios' (then Paramount Network TV) praised but short-lived series for CBS Now and Again. He went on to create and executive produce the supernatural crime procedural Medium, which ran on NBC and CBS for a combined seven seasons and made a lot of money for CBS Studios via its rich off-network deal with Lifetime.
Glenn Gordon Caron Re-Ups With CBS TV Studios
4 Comments
i loved medium but am more excited for what's next from Glenn. brilliant writer and creator!
Glenn Gordon Caron is a wonderful writer/director. I will always be a big fan of his work with ' Moonlighting ' and ' Now and Again ', and he deserves a long television career just because of these two great shows . I just wish he could create another ground-breaking , incredibly creative, adult, hysterical , smart, very dialogue driven, entertaining show on the brilliant level of ' Moonlighting '. Man, I miss the first three years of ' Moonlighting'.
Glen and Kelsey Grammer should re-create their magic and find something else to do together now that Medium is done…
I've loved everything that Caron has created. Medium was so good. The family relationship was golden — so hard to find these days while still creating an interesting show to beat! I wish him well in creating more and more. We need more Carons.

By: Esther M. Ziock Carroll
discussing the Youngers
& the Jameses, it is just as well to remember that they were not the only dangerous
men in the dug out. There were others along in the 60s [1860's].
Missouri woods were full of men who could hit a bullseye or a human target ten times out
of ten. Only of few of them, however, kept on shooting long enough after the war to
ensure lasting reputations.
Butler Missouri Times
SAM HILDEBRAND: Sam was born into a large family on January 6,
1836. His parents were Rebecca McKee & George Hildebrand. The 1850 cenus
of St. Francois County, Missouri lists nine children: Richard, George, Elvira,
Samuel, William, James, Mary, Henry, Margaret. During Sam's childhood he only went
to school one day so had virtually no education. He was an excellant marksman though
& worked hard, along with his siblings, on his father's farm.
When Sam was 18
years old he married Margaret Hampton on October 30, 1854. They had six children.
(For information on their children & grandchildren click
Hildebrand home built 1832.
Sam and his brother, Frank, had gotten into some trouble over a horse swapping deal
involving a horse that was stolen from Firmin McIlvaine. When the Civil War
started in 1861 Frank went to Potosi in Washington County to enlist in the Union Army Home
Guards. That is when Capt. Castleman turned Frank over to Firmin McIlvaine and his group
of vigilantes. They eventually took Frank to Ste. Genevieve County and, without the
benefit of a trial, hung him to a tree then threw his body into a sink hole where it was
not found for more than a month. In June, 1862 Sam avenged his brother's death when
he shot and killed George Cornicius and Firmin McIlvaine
In July, 1862 the Federal Army takes revenge on Sam's family for his killing of
Cornicius and McIlvaine. Sam's widowed, aged mother was forced from her home &
the Hildebrand homestead was burned. Sam's brother & Sam's sister's fiance
were literally shot to pieces by a whole company of Federals. Sam's uncle was shot
dead. Sam's other brother, who was only 13 years old, was shot, his body found
several days later by neighbors.
SAM HILDEBRAND'S REVENGE: When
Sam joined the Confedrate Army he became a rebel soldier/guerilla who was
greatly feared in southeast Missouri. He began a reign of killings & terror
that continued throughout & after the war until Sam's death in 1872. He
killed many people with his rifle, which he had named "Kill Devil". For
every person that he killed with "Kill Devil" he carved a notch in the
rifle stock. It is said that "Kill-Devil" had over 80 notches.

Author: W.H. Webb: [this incident happened 6 June 1869] ~This is a story of
the desperate battle with the notorious desperado, Sam Hildebrand, at his Uncle John
Williams house in St. Francois county, Mo., between the sheriffs posse (which
the writer was a member of) and Hildebrand
Before going into details of this desperate
battle I will state that Sam Hildebrand was born and reared at the old Hildebrand
homestead, three miles north of Big River Mills, and was married there by Judge Frank
Murphy, who was sheriff at the time this battle took place. It was well enough to state
that Hildebrand always bore the reputation of being a bad man, and especially all through
the late war. How many men he killed during his life, it would be hard to tell.
When peace was declared it was understood between the
State and county authorities that Hildebrand would be allowed to return home and live in
peace, if he would only do so. He did return home but it was not long afterwards until he
was at his old tricks again, stealing and threatening to kill his enemies. The State
authorities, under the administration of Governor Joseph W. McClurg, determined to have
him arrested and answer for some of the many crimes which he was accused of. The Governor
and St. Francois county authorities offered a reward for his arrest dead or alive.
A young man by the name of Peterson, a son of Judge Peterson, of
Fredericktown, took it into his head he could secure fame and the reward by capturing or
killing him single handed, which he proceeded to do. He went to Hildebrands house in
the night and secreted himself near the house and there waited until daylight for Sam to
show up. About daylight Sam came out of the house and Peterson took deliberate aim with a
ballard rifle and fired, but he must have lost his nerve, for instead of shooting him in
the heart, he shot him in the flesh part of the thigh. Sam then ran into the house and
closed the door and Peterson made no further attempt to get him, but struck out for tall
timber. He arrived at Fredericktown and at once wired the governor of what he had done.
The governor wired Sheriff Breckenridge, of Potosi [Washington County] what Peterson had
done, and told him to take a posse and go and get Hildebrand, which the sheriff proceeded
to do. Breckenridge, with the posse, arrived at the house where Sam was shot, late in the
afternoon, but the bird had flown. Hildebrand had a neighbor who lived a short distance
from his house. The sheriff went there to inquire of this man if he knew anything of him.
The man told him that when he went to his corn-crib early in the morning and opened the
door of the crib Sam was in there and pulled a gun on him and told him to hitch up his
team and take him away; and if he didnt he would kill him. The man told the sheriff
that he had hauled him to Buck Highleys, about five miles from there. The sheriff
took the man along with him and went to Highleys. Highley told the sheriff that this
man brought Hildebrand to his house and that Hildebrand had compelled him, Highley, to
haul him to John Williams, (Sams Uncle). The sheriff then turned the man loose and
went to Williams house, arriving there about daylight. The posse stopped at the barn
and waited for Williams to come out to feed. Williams soon made his appearance at the barn
to feed his stock. The sheriff then arrested Williams and turned Highley loose. Williams
told the sheriff that Hildebrand was in the house. They took Williams and all proceeded to
the house. The sheriff told Williams to call Hildebrand and tell him that the sheriff was
there with a warrant for his arrest and for him to come out and surrender, Williams told
the sheriff there would be something doing that; that Sam would not surrender, but kill
him (Williams) the first man. But Williams knocked on the door & told Hildebrand what
the sheriff had told him. In a second or two the door opened a small crack and the battle
was on. The first shot from Sams big Remington revolver took off Williams
finger. The next shot struck the sheriff in the groin, and the next shot took out a bunch
of whiskers from Andy Beans chin. The battle became general. The posse found what
shelter it could and kept up the the battle, but Sam held the fort. The sheriff was badly
hurt and had to be taken where he could receive medical attention. Part of the posse was
left to guard and keep Sam in the house, while the others took the sheriff away, and
called for reinforcement.
Sam was kept in the fort by the guards until reinforcement came.
They shifted their positions and fired from different places to make him think there were
several men guarding the house. Williams wife and a little girl were in the house
all through the battle. After the fire slackened somewhat Sam told Mrs. Williams to take
the bucket and the little girl and go to the spring and bring him a bucket of water, but
Mrs. Williams was not allowed to return to the house. Sam, not getting any water, was very
thirsty, and quenched his thirst during the day by sucking raw eggs.
About nine or ten oclock in the morning a few of the
reinforcement that had been sent for began to arrive. They asked us if Sam was still in
the house and why we did not go in and bring him out. But they were not there long until
they were fully convinced of the reason why. For Sam took a pop at every thing that move,
and he was generally pretty close to the mark. The firing was kept up all day between us
of the posse and Hildebrand until about a half hour before sundown, when deputy sheriff
John T. Clarke [of Washington County] with about fifteen men arrived on the scene. He took
in the situation and decided to burn the house. He placed his men around the place and at
once made preparations to set the house afire. He secured some coal oil and candle wick.
The candle wick was rolled into a ball and saturated with coal oil and Jim McLain
volunteered to climb onto another house which adjoined the one Sam was in. After several
efforts had failed, he finally lodged one of the balls between the comb of the house and
stick chimney. When the house got to burning pretty good McLain came down and took his gun
and attempted to go in the back door of this vacant house. This building stood only a few
feet from the one Sam was in. The back door stood open and a chink had been knocked out
leaving an open range from the building Sam was in to the door. When McLain entered the
door Sam shot him in the heart, killing him instantly. This was a clever trap that Sam had
arranged before hand, so Williams told us afterwards. It was now almost dark the
time Sam had been playing so hard for. The house burned very slowly, owing to the fact
that Sam threw salt on the fire, and used an old quilting frame to punch off the burning
The time had now arrived when Sam thought he could make his
get-away. He pried up a board on the floor, which stood off the ground about two feet, and
crawled under and to the steps of the door. These he pushed aside and crawled out, and
made his way about twenty feet to a rail fence which surrounded the yard, took out the
bottom rail and crawled through. Two men were on each side of the panel of the fence that
he went out, but did not hear him until he started to run. Then they fired a regular
fusilade, but Sam got away. The light from the burning roof made it dark immediately
around the building, and the weeds in the yard were about ten feet high, which all favored
Sam in his get-away. He left his rifle in the weeds in the yard, which was now useless as
he had gotten a bullet choked into it during the day. He took his two revolvers with him.
In the battle in the morning Mrs. Williams and the little girl that
were in the house with Hildebrand were both shot, but not seriously hurt. After Hildebrand
escaped the fire was put out and the posse entered the house, and there they could view
his preparations for battle. He had piled all the furniture and things in the house and
fenced off one corner of the house with them, making a fort within a fort, and had the
posse rushed the doors he no doubt would have killed half of them before they got to it.
He had an old table in this corner which he used for his guns, ammunition and other
weapons among them was an old corn knife made from a scythe, which would have been
a bad weapon in close quarters. This weapon and old Kill-Devil (his rifle) and his hat,
which was shot full of holes, were taken to the rogues gallery in St. Louis, and I
presume are there now. The rifle barrel has sixteen notches filed on it, which was said to
represent the number of men he had killed. Hildebrand had no water in the house, but he
satisfied his thirst by sucking raw eggs.
After his escape from the house, he went about two miles and laid in
ambush near the road, and waited for someone to come along. About midnight, a Mr. Aubuchon
came along on horseback, and Sam stopped him and compelled him to let him get up behind
him, and take him to where a sister of his lived, about ten miles from there. Such was the
fear of this man that Aubuchon did not tell of this until after he was killed.
After this, the whole
country was aroused. A company of militia was organized in St. Francois county, and
Colonel W.D. Bowen, a captain of St. Louis police and five other policemen, were sent into
the field to run him down. They stayed in the field about three months, but never
did come up with him. Hildebrand stayed at his sister's a few days, and finally made
his way to a cave in the bluffs of Big River, which was one of his safe retreats during
the war time. Col. Bowen learned of it by one of the grape vine routes and took hi
posse and went there. On our arrival at the mouth of the cave we found fresh tracks
in the mud and his cane with fresh mud on the end of it, and thought sure we had our man,
but then it was about dark, and Col. Bowen concluded to wait until morning before making
the attack.
Sam Hildebrand's cave hide out on Big
We built up a bon fire at the mouth of the
cave and kept it up all night. The next morning Bowen called for volunteers to enter the
cave, but stated that somebody no doubt was going to be hurt, and that if there were any
of them that didnt wish to go, he wouldnt force them. Not a man flinched. We
then entered the cave with Bowen at our head, and explored it thoroughly, but no Sam
there. The bird had again flown. And it was a good thing for us that he did, for the
conditions showed that he could have killed everyone of us before we could have gotten to
him. We afterwards learned that he left the cave about an hour before we arrived. He went
to a mans house about a mile from there. The family was eating supper at the time.
He walked into the house before they knew he was there, and took his seat at the table and
ate his supper. After eating he got up and took the mans rifle and what ammunition
he had, saying that he would have to borrow it, saying they had gotten his gun up at the
fight at John Williams. He took a little boy with him that was there and went into
the woods, and made the boy sit up all night and watch for him while he slept. The next
morning he brought the boy back in sight of home and told him to go home. This was the
last authentic information that we had of his whereabouts. We afterward learned that he
made his way to Texas, and later on his family was sent to him. There are many incidents
of this so called Hildebrand Raid which I have omited. But I want to pay tribute to Col.
Bowen and the men that were with him. No braver set of men ever lived.

SAM HILDEBRAND HEARD FROM: Washington
County Journal - March 3, 1870: We heard various reports at Irondale and
Bismarck, on Monday, of Sam Hildebrand at Big River Mills. Although doubts are expressed
as to the correctness of the rumor, yet many incidents of recent occurrence are cited in
support of it. Messages have been received by parties residing at Irondale and vicinity in
this county, as well as in St. Francois county, threatening various punishments on those
who have incurred Hilebrand's enmity, aiding in the several attempts to capture him in the
past, and other acts of which he did not cordially approve. A gentleman who is the subject
of one of these hostile messages seems inclined to give partial credit to it's
authenticity, and returned word that while he could be readily found at any time, yet
nothing but the most covertly managed plot of assassination could harm him, and even
should such a vengeance succeed, neither Hildebrand nor certain parties who are known to
shield his presence in this country, could by any possibility escape a fearful
retaliation. On the whole, we are not inclined to credit the rumor of such foolhardiness
on the part of one whose capture has become the object of so great solicitude to the
authorities of the state.
Farmington News ~ From the Ironton Register
~ Author: W.H.
Webb ~
Now as to the end of the career of this desperate
man. About two years after the battle at John Williams Hidlebrand drifted back to
Pinckneyville, Ill., bringing his children with him. His wife having in the meantime died
in Texas. They secured a vacant house in Pinckneyville and a day or two afterwards went
out into the country and rented a farm. [This was in April/May 1872.] In the evening he
returned and went into a saloon and began drinking something he was never known to
do before and got into a difficulty with the saloon keeper. Following his old
tactics, he walked out of the door and around to a window and was just in the act of
shooting the saloon keeper through the window when the marshal of the town happened to
come along and picked up a picket from a fence and struck him over the head and downed
him. He took from him two big Remington revolvers, a bowie knife, and two pocket knives,
and then hauled him before a justice of the piece and had him fined $500. In the meantime
the saloon keeper swore out a warrant for assualt with intent to kill. The justice ordered
the prisoner to jail "until tomorrow." Three of the marshals started to take him
to jail. Sam said that he would never go to jail. After they got outside of the
office, he got another pocket knife out of his vest pocket and cut John Ragland from the
knee to the hip, laying the flesh open to the bone all the way. Ragland put his pistol to
the right side of Hildebrands head behind the ear killing him instantly thus
ending the career of one of the most desperate men that this country ever saw. An inquest
was held and he was buried as an unknown man the next day. A full account of which was in
the St. Louis Republic the next morning. The writer of this article was then on the St.
Louis police force. Reading the article in the paper, he showed it to another policeman by
the name of Dennis OLeary, who had grown up from boyhood with Hildebrand. We at once
agreed that it must be Sam Hildebrand. We took the paper and at once went to our chief and
told him what we thought. He sent us to Pinckneyville to identify him, advising the
authorities at Pinckneyvill by wire who he thought it was, and that two officers were on
the road then to identify him. When we arrived there they had dug him up and had the body
in the coffin up stairs in the circuit court room. With the head of the coffin leaning
against the judges stand, the foot resting on the floor, and the lid off, so that
any one coming into the court room could distinguish his features plainly. We at once
recognized him, but for further identification had him stripped and found the wound in his
thigh where Peterson had shot him and also the wound in the left ankle were he had been
shot in the war. The wound across the forehead
where he was shot at the battle at Williams house was still very plain. We then went
to the house where the children were, who knew both of us very well, but we had hard work
making them own it up. Hildebrands body was shipped to Farmington, and was hauled
from there to a graveyard near John Williams and buried [Hampton Cemetery]. And
the children were distributed around among relatives. Ragland collected about $1500.00 of
the reward. At one time there was a reward of about $10,000.00 for Hildebrands
capture or death, but at the time of his killing could not be collected. John Ragland is
now dead, but he was never able to go without crutches after Hildebrand cut him.
The Atlanta Constitution, 6 Sept. 1877 ~ Sam Hildebrand Still Among
The Living ~ He Payed Visit To An Old Friend In Madison Co. ~ Fredericktown (Mo.) Farmer ~
The opinion generally prevails that the subject of this sketch the noted Missouri
grueilla, no longer dwells among men. We have the word of one of Madison County's
best citizens that Samuel lately passed through this county on his way to Illinois.
We giver our informant's statement just as he gave it to us, under promise that we would
not reveal his name. He said that one evening about two weeks before his visit to
this office, a pale, sickly-looking gentleman halted at his gate & called to the
inmates of the house. He was at the barn at the time feeding the stock, his daughter
was milking the cows & the faithful housewife was preparing a frugal evening meal.
The loud barking of the watch-dog attracted the attention of the latter, who
appeared at the door. The careworn stranger expressed a desire to see the man of the
house, & he was accordingly called from his labors in the barn-yard. When they
met our friend says he knew the face of the stranger well, but could not place him.
They shook hands & looked at each other for sometime, & still he could not
recognize him. "Don't you know me?" said the stranger. "I know
you like a book but I can't place you," replied our friend. "Come down
here in the woods & I will make myself known." He said he felt no fear of
anything, & went with him to some timber near by, where they seated themselves on the
grass. "Don't you remember Sam Hilderbrand?"
well." "I am that same Hildebrand." Our friend says that he
could clearly recognize him, though time & disease had wrought wonderful changes in
his appearance. He staid all night at his house, & during the evening related
many of his thrilling adventures during the war. We do not publish this for
sensation, but as the statement of an honorable old farmer citizen, who says he lived
neighbor to Hildebrand for more than three years, & who is satisfied of his identity.
Weekly Independent - November, 1896: John T. Clarke, Major, (Federal Army),
former Washington County resident and sheriff recalls his adventures involving Sam
Hildebrand whom he knew before the war. Major Clarke made several efforts to capture
Hildebrand and one night a man named McLain was shot dead by his side, a victim of
Hildebrand's rifle. Major Clarke has always been of the opinion that Hildebrand did not
want to kill him as he had several chances to do so and always shot somebody else. Sam was
always known as a dead shot with a rifle. He was considered one of the most shrewd and
dangerous men in Missouri. John Clarke states, "One night when I had him surrounded
in a house and had thrown burning turpentine balls on the roof of the house for the
purpose of burning him out, he shot a man standing by my side. He knew that I was trying
to arrest him and yet he picked someone else to shoot. He could just as well as shot me,
but for some reason he preferred to shoot McLain. Sam got away from me, and at a
time when escape seemed impossible. In a soldier sense of the word, Sam was not a
brave man, but as a man who could dodge behind trees and shoot, and shoot and kill, who
was exceedingly dangerous, I don't believe Hildebrand had an equal in Missouri."
DEVIL" ~ Farmington News, 14 Oct 1927 ~ Old
"Kill Devil", Sam Hildebrand's trusty rifle, and the one with which he wreaked
such terrible revenge upon his enemies, says the Bonne Terre Democrat-Register, is now on
exhibition at John Wilkson's Restaurant. It is of course and old-fashioned muzzle loader,
with the stock extending to the tip of he barrel, but undoubtedly capable of carrying a
20ounce ball a distance of 200 yards with sufficient force to kill. The notches one
reads about in the "Life of Hildebrand" appear on the stock, 84 in number, and
each one bears evidence of the death of some enemy of the notorious desperado.

Jack Nicklaus praises Rory McIlroy's USPGA Championship performance
Last Updated: 11/08/14 3:52pm
Jack Nicklaus has praised Rory McIlroy for his major-winning performance in the USPGA Championship on Sunday.
The 74-year-old, who won a record 18 majors during his professional career, witnessed McIlroy follow up his success in The Open four weeks ago with another victory at Valhalla.
The Northern Irishman, ranked number one in the world, shot a final-round 68 to win the tournament by a shot, ahead of Phil Mickelson.
Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson had been part of a three-way tie for the lead with Mickelson on the back nine but dropped shots on the closing stretch to finish two behind McIlroy on 14 under.
Nicklaus wrote on Twitter: "It was really a great tournament. It was great theatre. Great golf, actually.
"It was one of the best tournaments to watch - because of such good play - that I have seen in a long, long time.
"Henrik Stenson played fantastic... Phil Mickelson was unbelievable. Just pure guts and really great golf. And Rickie Fowler was simply terrific.
"He played well all the way down the stretch, until he couldn't see at 18. No one could.
"So let's just discount what happened at 18, because I just thought Rickie was terrific.
"Then Rory, who got three shots down, showed so much poise, confidence and determination coming down the stretch.
"The tee shots he hit (on Sunday), wow. Early on, Rory was just playing along and couldn't get anything going (two over after six holes).
"All of a sudden, everybody else was getting something going.
"Then Rory got the right break at the 10th hole with a great shot-he made the right break at 10 with that second shot (to set up eagle). He was off and running from there."
McIlroy, 25, now has four majors to his name and is the first UK player to win back-to-back Major titles.

Alia Bhatt is doing everything possible to make sure she survives long enough in the industry. The actress who will be seen as a Tamilian girl in 2 states, is learning Tamil for the film and is also learning the house hold culture of Tamilians.
The 19 year old is leaving no stone un-turned to fit the bill as an Iyengar girl for the film, which is based on Chetan Bhagat's novel "2 states: The Story Of My Marriage". The story of the film revolves around a Punjabi boy who falls in love with a Tamilian girl and the cultural and religion clashes between the two families.
A source close to Alia Bhatt said "She is learning the Tamil culture and tradition. She has also hired a special Tamilian teacher who will help her to adapt the south Indian culture."
Alia is the Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's daughter and made her debut this year in Karan Johar's Student Of The Year. She was spotted in many South Indian localities to fit into the skin of her character.
In "2 States", she will feature opposite Ishaqzaade actor Arjun Kapoor. They even got together for a photo shoot recently, where Alia wore some typical south Indian saris – a contrast to her modern avatar in "Student Of The Year".
"2 States" is directed Abhishek Verman and co-produced by Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala.

Be yourself in vintage.
I've worn vintage since before I knew what it was.
As a kid, my choices were to wear my classmates' castoffs, or to create my own unique style from the weird and delightful things hidden in the corners of thrift shops.
I tried many styles, from boho to punk rock, before settling into myself. Though my preferences fluctuated, vintage was ever present.
Now a stylish adult with a terrifically curated closet, I have been sharing my finds with you at Radio Radio Vintage since 2011.

A cascade of minor but preoccupying health issues kept me from having as much horse time as I'd like in the first few months of the year. I'm back to it now, and am trying to get back in the habit of posting here. I have a million photos and the stables have a bunch of new horses, including this guy. This must be his professional name. What am I even supposed to call him?

When bad weather prevents riding, we do a barn lesson, which means "find something to do inside." I did this recently with Jay, who is 9, funny, super bright, and 100% dedicated to animals of all sorts. He has probably 20 minutes of impassioned opinion (based on research) about how zoos can operate humanely and ethically. A big heart.
He says he's the "everything whisperer." A lot of kids think they're good with animals, but there's a difference between wanting to pet them, and caring about what they need. I think Jay is right though, because he says it frankly and not as a brag, and because once a ladybug lit on his shoulder and stayed there through the entire hour's ride, and the kid was not surprised in the least. He names every ladybug Leroy, because "then it's like it's the same ladybug landing on me for my whole life."

(Photo by Clint Spaulding.)
Bill Cunningham has died and I am heartbroken. Maybe you don't know who he was, or you might scoff that a fashion photographer could be considered important. But it's a great loss.
It's a loss because he was a unique kook and a lesson on how to grow old and not suck. By age 87 it's common to have some level of disdain for the youth, but from what I can tell, he was never scornful. He was totally tickled by anything innovative and new. Why else did he spend every day on the streets looking?
Bill Cunningham had a hunger and a radar for surprise. And because that's what he sought, that's what he found. I had never thought about optimism in quite that way, until I saw the documentary about him. That simple thought burst in on me like a maniac: what you choose to focus on, becomes your world. This changed everything.

This is Gator, who I made friends with today. I don't know his history or what his deal is, but he's not quite like the others, in a way that tells me something happened to him. He's not skinny, but is awfully opportunistic about food. When I led him down the barn aisle he tugged toward every open stall, trying to steal everybody else's dinner. He doesn't flinch when touched, but it's like he doesn't know what to do about it. Like he's puzzled by affection or grooming. So maybe it wasn't abuse, but certainly neglect. Or solitude.
Today while he grazed I scratched up masses of dead hair from his neck and sides. Dude needs a bath SO BAD, and that will happen soon. He seems healthy, just filthy, with gray flakes of dandruff as big as a fingernail in the base of his mane.
He let me do absolutely anything I wanted, including cleaning his eyes. That's... more »

I got to take five horses for a graze today (separately). Previous record: 2!
This is Libby, whose story I've told here lots of times. She came to us nearly hairless and in agony from an allergy to fly bites. She'd lost her mane. I don't know if it was wavy before, but it's wavy now, and it's beautiful.

I've been working a lot lately with Dakota, who I don't know very well. The other day I groomed and tacked her up, but the rider was late so we had time to kill. I gave her her space during this downtime, thinking surely she'd had enough contact and attention during the grooming. They get overstimulated and it's kind to give them some peace.
But she threw her head around and fussed until I figured out what was up: she wanted infinitely more, and wasn't happy until I gave her big long scratches and rubs all the way down her sides and under her belly. She closed her eyes, leaned against me, and did all the happy noises. We are friends now.

Horse haircuts are a big job that often take several days, especially on acreage like Luke's. That's why he wore these sassy legwarmers for a while.

My newest rider is an adult (a rarity), a super sweet lady who was perfectly paired with super sweet Tonka.
I helped with her first ever ride, and she was nervous about many things, including whether the horse liked or hated being ridden. While riding, of course she couldn't see his face, but I could, so I narrated his expressions to her. It mostly went like, "he's happy, he still looks happy, he seems totally pleased to be here." He always does.

Pinky has retired. At 29, she was our oldest horse, and the one who'd been with the program the longest. I don't know where she's going; I hope it's somewhere nice. Here's a brief video. I will miss this little diva.

I've put a few brief horse videos on youtube. I'll be posting the best ones here too, but youtube will have extras, in case you need more horse (also cats and nephew).
This is Jack enthusiastically schlorping an applesauce cup, a few days before he retired. Sorry it's shaky; they were fierce licks. Spoiler, it's gross! 24sec.

Horse stuff is nearly always cooperative, but once in a while I find myself doing a task on my own. The other day I was the only person available to get Luke ready for a lesson.
This was the first time I'd been in that situation with that horse, which didn't occur to me until I'd gotten him out of his stall and headed towards the grooming bays. That short walk took forever because I hadn't counted on Luke's popularity. Four or five times, we were stopped by people, mostly kids, who wanted to pet, marvel, and say the thing we all say: Wow, he's big.
He loved the attention and was a friendly gentleman for his admirers, but he hadn't wanted to leave his stall, as it was right before hay was about to be delivered. They're all acutely aware of hay o'clock. So he was pretty crabby during grooming, and it took the first third of the lesson for him to... more »

I don't know how his previous owners named him so perfectly, but I have never once seen Happy in a bad mood (which I can only say about him and Jack).
Last week a sudden thunderstorm sent a wave of anxiety through the barn - they whinnied and kicked the walls. It was awful. Lessons were abruptly canceled, because although we have a covered arena, there was no way it was safe to use horses in that state, and the city was under flood watch.
I went on treat patrol and tried to calm down the horses, who ranged from nervous to terrified. I correctly expected to find a perfectly calm Happy chomping on hay like nothing special was happening, like there were no weather sirens or bolts of lightning or rain pounding on the metal roof. He was still pleased about the treats though.

Pinky's rider was running late, so she had a graze and a snooze while we waited. Three minutes before this photo, she was feisty as hell, but she naps like a pro. The old girl's about to turn 29.

The three most powerful things I say to my tiny rider Elle are "you've got this" if she needs encouragement, "we've got this" to emphasize that we're a team, and "I've got you" when she's scared of doing a new maneuver or worried the horse will go too fast, and I want to remind her that the whole reason I'm there is to keep the horse under control and to have her back. She's a perceptive, smart kid who trusts me and wears her emotions out in the open. I love to say these things and watch her face relax: she believes me.
The instructor had Elle doing some warmup stretches on horseback, and I, leading the horse, just barely heard her mutter under her breath, "this is embarrassing." I said "Yeah, but it's making you stronger, and those other kids all have to do the same thing in a second, so they can't... more »

Due to construction, a minor barn flood, and a few retirements, a lot of the horses have been shuffled around to new stalls. Every time I learn the layout, it changes. Since most of these changes are temporary, nobody has updated the nameplates. So I don't know who this is. It's either Cash, who I don't know well enough to recognize, or a new horse. Either way, he's beautiful and friendly, and looks a bit like a deer here.

The paddocks were torn down and redone from scratch, which means everybody gets more exercise and freedom. The old setup had a bunch of small individual enclosures separated by walkways; now there are bigger pens which abut. So instead of hanging out alone or in pairs, 4 or 5 horses can spend time together. This is one of the few areas where I felt like we could improve; our horses didn't get a lot of social time, just based on the layout of our fences, which is now much better.
One big paddock is built onto the side of a barn, with no gap in between. This means the horses in that pen can socialize with the horses in the stalls on that side. I'm sure this involves calculating who's a troublemaker and who doesn't get along. So far it's working great. Lots of heads peering in and out, lots of cute nuzzling.
This is Gallagher, who normally would have come over to be... more »

Luke, who needs a bath real bad.
The time was right to tell one of my favorite riders that that's what she is. I told her that although I can't always be the assistant in her lesson, I at least try, and that although I like all my riders, she's one of only three that I always check the schedule for.
Last week I wasn't able to help with her lesson, but I was around at that time, and I was at the far end of the property and just happened to look up the hill and see her on Luke. It was dark and they were beautifully backlit, with a halo of misty. He was gliding like a ship and she had the posture of a queen.
I told her these things and I got a high-five that turned into a hug. From a teenager.

The other night I was heading to my car when one of my favorite co-workers called to me across the parking lot. It's poorly lit and I realized later she must have known me by silhouette. She wanted to tell me my hair looked cute. We ended up talking for an hour, leaning on a fence and watching riding lessons in the arena down the hill. At that distance I didn't recognize any of the kids, but I knew all four of the horses. I like my life.

Apache is famously naughty, but also charming, so nobody gets too bothered by it. But he can be a righteous pain in the ass. I can lead him if I have to, but I pretty much always weasel out of it: I either claim that I'm too inexperienced with him, or tell some poor new person that it will be a "fun learning experience." I'm awful. I love the guy but I've gone home too many times with one arm aching from all the tugging. He's not unhappy at this job, he just doesn't always like being told what to do.
He's also the embodiment of something I think about a lot, which is that I swear the horses can tell the difference between people wanting them to behave, and needing them to.
I thought of this one day when Apache had been a total brat throughout the whole lesson, to the point that we had to stop several times so his leader (not me!) could have a stern... more »

Sweet Jack, the best horse buddy I've ever had, has retired. For good this time. I won't see him again.
He is living on a farm with what sound like really nice people who value their animals. He's the companion of a retired show pony named Fonzie. Jack now has a chiropractor, masseuse, and acupuncturist, which sound silly but may well extend his life.
It's a good place. He deserves it. None of these things keep my heart from being broken.

THE parents of a troubled teenager found hanging from a tree are pleading for a coroner to let them view confidential documents after feeling "let down" by the agencies that cared for her.
Dana Baker's father Trevor and mother Patricia wants Worcestershire coroner Geraint Williams to disclose the sensitive material relating to the former Stourport High School and Sixth Form Centre pupil's contacts with social services and other agencies, so lessons can be learned.
The 16-year-old karate star, who also attended Wolverley CE Secondary School, was found hanging near Kidderminster's Worcester Road island in March 2011, following a troubled history of periods in foster care and of abuse by her karate instructor, Jaspal Riat.
Her parents have now urged Mr Williams through their lawyer to let them see the information from a Serious Case Review (SCR) undertaken by the Worcestershire Safeguarding Children Board (WSCB) so they can be sure the right evidence and witnesses would be available at the inquest into their daughter's death.
During a pre-inquest review in Stourport last Friday, it was heard how Dana's family had felt "monumentally let down" by statutory bodies after the confidential documents were not made readily available to Mr Willams.
The coroner had to go to London's High Court to get the information after the children's board queried whether it was in the public interest to disclose the highly sensitive material.
The board said disclosure of 10 individual management reviews and six information reports would violate confidentiality and discourage candour and that there was a risk that "interested parties" at the inquest would seek access to at least parts of the material.
Lawyer Nageena Khalique, representing Dana's family, told the pre-inquest that individual management reviews were "extremely important to the relevance of this case".
She added: "Sitting behind me today is Mr Baker and [Dana's] grandmother. These are people which you might readily understand feel monumentally let down by the whole body of statutory agencies.
"It was only through pressure from [Mr Wiliams] that the documentation was disclosed to you through the High Court challenge.
"The family of Dana Baker want to ensure that the proper process has been done - to ensure the right witnesses and the right evidence is being made available to this inquest."
She went on: "If I'm not able to view that document then there's no way that I have in ensuring that a vital witness hasn't been called."
Agencies including Worcestershire County Council, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Trust, North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare Trust, the Childcare Bureau and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust were also represented at the pre-inquest hearing.
All but the Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust and North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare told Mr Williams that the documents should not be disclosed amid fears they could end up in the public domain.
Mr Williams said he would revisit some of the case law and re-listen to some of the agencies' submissions before making a decision on whether to disclose the documents. The inquest into Dana's death is scheduled for May.

There was a great sense of relief among the band members when Planxty broke up in November 1975. We were tired out and had no inspiration left. After a short period, the relief began to turn into a slight fear as to what we would do without Planxty!

The country singer who posted a bail following his arrest, has confessed that the drugs in his tour bus belonged to him.
Country legend Willie Nelson has been charged with marijuana possession following his Friday, November 26 morning arrest in Texas. The singer's tour bus was pulled over by Border Patrol police at a Sierra Blanca checkpoint and an officer embarked on a search of the vehicle after reportedly smelling pot.
Six ounces (170 grams) of marijuana was found and Nelson, along with two other people, was arrested on suspicion of drug possession. The 77 year old was booked in Hudspeth County Jail and posted $2,500 bail.
A spokesman for the U.S. Border Patrol has now confirmed the legendary musician has been charged with possession after admitting that the drugs belonged to him.

New Pittsburg Fire Chief Ken Becker enjoyed time in the spotlight Saturday evening at the Wayne County Fire and Rescue Association's annual banquet for firefighters and emergency medical technicians held at Das Dutch Kitchen in Dalton.
Becker's distinction of Firefighter and EMT of the Year came as quite a surprise, he said, following the banquet.
Becker, fire chief since 1993 and instructor for the Wayne County Fire and Rescue Training Facility in Apple Creek since 1992, has served the New Pittsburg area in some aspect of firefighting for 20 years -- so far.
"When I joined the volunteer fire department, the average volunteer stayed 10 years before he 'burned out,'" Becker said. "Now volunteers stay less than two years."
"But I'm dumb enough to stay," he quipped.
According to Becker, changes in building construction result in hotter and faster progressing fires with more dangerous toxic fumes than those of years ago.
"Although we wear more and better protective clothing," he said, "we have a lot of different conditions."
"You have to be a little bit crazy," he noted with humor, "to go running into a fire while everyone else is running out."
The dedication that won him an award shines through one of his statements about service to the community.
"If you reap a benefit from lending a hand to your fellow man," service to the fire department is a desirable activity to pursue, he said.
Becker enjoys that kind of benefit more than his recognition, which is nonetheless special.
"Like others in volunteer service, I think that others are more deserving," he said.
"It's very humbling to be honored by your peers. It means somebody says you're doing it right."
Receiving special awards of appreciation for dedication at the banquet were John Sprunger, Kidron Fire Department; Rich Nester, Orrville; and Ardeta Romanchik, Marshallville.
Sprunger, Kidron fire chief for 41 years, was pleased with his award, noting he has been involved in quite a few things in fire service, including president of the association and member of the training center's steering committee, over the years.
"People don't know in advance (about the awards)," he said.
The annual banquet is a special event for area fire personnel and their wives, West Salem Town and Country firefighter, Lois Welch, said.
"It's been an annual event for as long as I can remember," Sprunger said. "It's a fun evening for people to get together."
Each year a different fire department organizes the event, lining up special guests and collecting door prizes as part of their preparation.
This year the Marshallville Fire Department hosted the banquet.
