Gregoria Munoz Loya was born on Feb. 16, 1915, and passed away March 15, 2010 after a short illness. She was a most illustrious matriarch. She bore eleven children with her husband, Enrique C. Loya, now also deceased.
Her children are Elesbia (Liz) and husband Rudy Garcia, Stella and husband Mike Oja, Arminda (Mindy) Brigham, Gloria L. Richardson, Dora Elia and husband Jan Milner, Leonor Loya, Amparo and husband David Soukup, Henry O. Loya, George Edward and wife Adelina Loya, and Eva and husband Gene Simmons.
She was preceded in death by a daughter, Celia Loya Green, as well as by three grandsons, Daryl John, Dean Henry Oja and Ezra Gabriel Coronado.
Mrs. Loya had fifteen grandchildren, twenty-eight great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. She was the last survivor of her five brothers and sisters.
Her hobbies were quilting, cooking and Bible reading. She made a quilt for each of her grandchildren, each of her great-grandchildren, and for her great-great-grandchildren. Because of failing eye sight, she was not able to do much sewing the last year or so.
Four of her grandsons, Marc Edward Green, Andrew Joe Loya, David Sebastian Loya and Isaac Henry Loya, and two great-grandchildren, Jason Ray Campbell and Louis DeLos Santos, will act as pallbearers.
Mrs. Loya was an exemplary Christian; the last twenty years of her life, she belonged to the Church of God (7th Day) and was most willing to serve her church and her fellow man in any capacity. Needless to say, she will be greatly missed by her family. Her family rests assured that they shall meet again in the coming kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Services for Gregoria will be held on Friday, March 19, 2010 at Resthaven's Abbey Chapel at 1 p.m.
Burial will follow at Resthaven Memorial Park.
Visitation will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday at the funeral home.

Dear Ron, 3 months ago, you saved my dog's life and saved me a lot of heartache. Before I heard about Canyon Crest K-9 Training Center, I called a veterinary clinic to make an appointment to have my Golden Retriever/mix, put to sleep. I adopted the dog, who I named Niki, from a foster shelter. Before arriving at the shelter, she spent the first 5 months of her life on a farm with her litter-mates where she ran ...

Dear Ron, Carl and I want to thank you for training us. Over the years we have owned many dogs and with each new dog went through the whole obedience training system, but each time with someone else. We tried many systems, from the very rigid military type of training to the more relaxed, get in touch with your dog's inner feelings type of training. Nothing we had tried previously seemed to work. Our dogs final...

Dear Ron, For the past few years I've been meaning to write and tell you what a wonderful companion my German shepherd, Cindy, has become since we took your obedience course. When I first contacted you, Cindy was absolutely unmanageable, as least as far as I was concerned. Although less than two years old, she weighed over 80 pounds and was a big, strong dog with a mind of her own. Walking her on a leash was ...

Dear Ron, I wanted to let you know how thankful I am that you have an instruction program that doesn't use punishing or abusive training. I lost two dogs through incorrect training.

We got rid of him when he bit my two-year-old son. With my sec...

Because of my mother's critical illness and my car accident, I had been unable to train my dog at an early age. He was spoiled and dominate. He has improved so very much.

The Sacred Heart volleyball team has hit the ground running with straight set wins over Bishop Connolly, Plymouth North and Westport to start the new season.
The Sacred Heart volleyball team has hit the ground running with straight set wins over Bishop Connolly, Plymouth North and Westport to start the new season.
After last season's 16-3 campaign that ended with a first round exit in the Division 3 South playoffs, the defending Mayflower League champions opened the new campaign with a straight set win over Bishop Connolly.
The first two sets were closely contested with Sacred Heart coming out on top each time by the score of 25-20. The third set was not so close as the Saints cruised to a 25-6 victory that clinched the win.
Sacred Heart was back in action Monday at Plymouth North to take on the Blue Eagles. Once again, the Saints were in control all the way, taking the contest in three sets by the scores of 25-16, 25-17 and 25-14.
Hayley Ferraro had 19 points from the service line, including nine aces. Lauren Melchionda added 11 service points to the winning effort.
Katie Foley led a strong defensive effort with four digs.
Things went just as well Tuesday in a sweep of Westport. Ferraro and Melchionda combined for 21 points, including four aces each. Rathje contributed 10 points, including six aces, 12 assists and one kill. Foley had seven kills on the day and led the team in digs.
Sacred Heart shut down Norfolk Aggie and earned a well-deserved 3-0 win. The goals were scored by Freshman Bridget Leblanc, Junior Kelly O'Donnell and Senior Lilly Bessette. Senior goalie Allie Pasqualli notched the shutout and Seniors Alexa Nasr and Moira Gattoni played well on defense.

Republicans have been more willing than ever to work with Democrats on immigration reform, despite the objections from much of their base. But even now, the Democrats are refusing to compromise. Janet Napolitano is the latest to shoot down the idea of border security as a condition of reform. Seeing that border security is her responsibility, that should tell you something.
Republicans working to craft a comprehensive immigration reform bill say there is one rock-bottom requirement for any deal: The border must be secure, and proven to be secure, before any path to citizenship is created for the millions of immigrants currently in the country illegally. That is the one non-negotiable GOP demand. And on Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano flatly rejected it.
"Relying on one thing as a so-called trigger is not the way to go," Napolitano told a breakfast meeting of journalists. Asked about her department's recent revelation that it will not produce a long-promised method of measuring border security, known as the Border Condition Index, Napolitano said, "We're confident that the border is as secure as it's ever been. But there's no one number that captures that." Without a way to measure border security, many Republican reform advocates say, there's no way to go forward with a reform agreement.
Read the whole thing, Jay Carney appeared to confirm that President Obama is in agreement with Napolitano on this issue.

To prevent misconception, I think it necessary to observe, that, in my Letters here published, I am far indeed from implying any admission of the truth of Mr. Kingsley's accusations against the Catholic Church, although I have abstained from making any formal protest against them. The object which led to my writing at all, has also led me, in writing, to turn my thoughts in a different direction.
January 31. 1864
Extract from a Review of Froude's History of England, vols. vii and viii, in Macmillan's Magazine for January, 1864, signed " C. K." pages 216, 217.
THE ROMAN religion had, for some time past, been making men not better men, but worse. We must face, we must conceive honestly for ourselves, the deep demoralisation which had been brought on in Europe by the dogma that the Pope of Rome had the power of creating right and wrong; that not only truth and falsehood, but morality and immorality, depended on his setting his seal to a bit of parchment. From the time that indulgences were hawked about in his name, which would insure pardon for any man, 'etsi inatrem Dei violavisset,' the world in general began to be of that opinion. But the mischief was older and deeper than those indulgences. It lay in the very notion of the dispensing power. A deed might be a crime, or no crime at all-like Henry the Eighth's marriage of his brother's widow-according to the will of the Pope. If it suited the interest or caprice of the old man of Rome not to say the word, the doer of a certain deed would be burned alive in hell for ever. If it suited him, on the other hand, to say it, the doer of the same deed would go, sacramentis munitus, to endless bliss. What rule of morality, what eternal law of right and wrong, could remain in the hearts of men born and bred under the shadow of so hideous a deception?
" And the shadow did not pass at once, when the Pope's authority was thrown off. Henry VIII evidently thought that if the Pope could make right and wrong, perhaps he could do so likewise. Elizabeth seems to have fancied, at one weak moment, that the Pope had the power of making her marriage with Leicester right, instead of wrong.
" Moreover when the moral canon of the Pope's will was gone, there was for a while no canon of morality left. The average morality of Elizabeth's reign was not so much low, as capricious, self-willed, fortuitous; magnificent one day in virtue, terrible the next in vice. It was not till more than one generation had grown up and died with the Bible in theirhands, that Englishmen and Germans began to understand (what Frenchmen and Italians did not understand) that they were to be judged by the everlasting laws of a God who was no respecter of persons.
" So, again, of the virtue of truth. Truth, for its own sake had never been a virtue with the Roman clergy. Father Newman informs us that it need not, and on the whole ought not to be; that cunning is the weapon which Heaven has given to the saints wherewith to withstand the brute male force of the wicked world which marries and is given in marriage. Whether his notion be doctrinally correct or not, it is at least historically so.
" Ever since Pope Stephen forged an epistle from St. Peter to Pepin, King of the Franks, and sent it with some filings of the saint's holy chains, that he might bribe him to invade Italy, destroy the Lombards, and confirm to him the 'Patrimony of St. Peter;' ever since the first monk forged the first charter of his monastery, or dug the first heathen Anglo-Saxon out of his barrow, to make him a martyr and a worker of miracles, because his own minster did not 'draw' as well as the rival minster ten miles off;-ever since this had the heap of lies been accumulating, spawning, breeding fresh lies, till men began to ask themselves whether truth was a thing worth troubling a practical man's head about, and to suspect that tongues were given to men, as claws to cats and horns to bulls, simply for purposes of offence and defence."
Dr. Newman to Messrs. Macmillan and Co.
The Oratory, Dec. 30, 1863,
I do not write to you with any controversial purpose, which would be preposterous; but I address you simply because of your special interest in a Magazine which bears your name. That highly respected name you have associated with a Magazine, of which the January number has been sent to me by this morning's post, with a pencil mark calling my attention
to page 217.
There, apropos of Queen Elizabeth, I read as follows:-
" Truth, for its own sake, had never been a virtue with the Roman clergy. Father Newman informs us that it need not, and on the whole ought not to be; that cunning is the weapon which Heaven has given to the saints wherewith to withstand the brute male force of the wicked world which marries and is given in marriage. Whether his notion be doctrinally correct or not, it is at least historically so."
There is no reference at the foot of the page to any words of mine, much less any quotation from my writings, in justifi-
cation of this statement.
I should not dream of expostulating with the writer of such a passage, nor with the editor who could insert it without appending evidence in proof of its allegations. Nor do I want any reparation from either of them. I neither complain of them for their act, nor should I thank them if they reversed it. Nor do I even write to you with any desire of troubling you to send me an answer. I do but wish to draw the attention of yourselves, as gentlemen, to a grave and gratuitous slander, with which I feel confident you will be sorry to find associated a name so eminent as yours.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant, (Signed) JOHN H. Newman
The Rev. Charles Kingsley to Dr. Newman
Eversley Rectory, January 6, 1864.
Reverend Sir,
I have seen a letter of yours to Mr. Macmillan, in which you complain of some expressions of mine in an article in the January number of Macmillan's Magazine.
That my words were just, I believed from many passages of your writings; but the document to which I expressly referred was one of your Sermons on " Subjects of the Day," No. XX, in the volume published in 1844, and entitled Wisdom and Innocence."
It was in consequence of that sermon, that I finally shook off the strong influence which your writings exerted on me; and for much of which I still owe you a deep debt of gratitude.
I am most happy to hear from you that I mistook (as I understand from your letter) your meaning; and I shall be most happy, on your showing me that I have wronged you, to retract my accusation as publicly as I have made it.
I am, Reverend Sir,
Your faithful Servant,
(Signed) Charles KINGSLEY
Dr. Newman to the Rev. Charles Kingsley
The Oratory, Birmingham,
January 7, 1864.
Reverend Sir,
I have to acknowledge your letter of the 6th, informing me that you are the writer of an article in Macmillan's Magazine, in which I am mentioned, and referring generally to a Protestant sermon of mine, of seventeen pages, published by me, as Vicar of St. Mary's, in 1844, and treating of the bearing of the Christian towards the world, and of the character of the reaction of that bearing upon him; and also, referring to my works passim; in justification of your statement, categorical and definite, that " Father Newman informs us that truth for its own sake need not, and on the whole ought not to be, a virtue with the Roman clergy."
I have only to remark, in addition to what I have already said with great sincerity to Messrs. Macmillan and Co., in the letter of which you speak, and to which I refer you, that, when I wrote to them, no person whatever, whom I had ever seen or heard of, had occurred to me as the author of the statement in question. When I received your letter, taking
upon yourself the authorship, I was amazed.
I am, Reverend Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed) JOHN H. NEWMAN
Dr. Newman to X.Y.,Esq.I
The Oratory, January 8, 1864.
Dear Sir,
I thank you for the friendly tone of your letter of the 5th just received, and I wish to reply to it with the frankness which it invites. I have heard from Mr. Kingsley, avowing himself, to my extreme astonishment, the author of the passage about which I wrote to Messrs. Macmillan. No one, whose name I had ever heard, crossed my mind as the writer in their Magazine: and, had any one said that it was Mr. Kingsley, I should have laughed in his face. Certainly, I saw the initials at the end; but, you must recollect, I live out of the world; and I must own, if Messrs. Macmillan will not think the confession rude, that, as far as I remember, I never before saw even the outside of their Magazine. And so of the Editor: when I saw his name on the cover, it conveyed to me absolutely no idea whatever. I am not defending myself, but merely stating what was the fact; and as to the article, I said to myself, " Here is a young scribe, who is making himself a cheap reputation by smart hits at safe objects."
All this will make you see, not only how I live out of the world, but also how wanton I feel it to have been in the parties concerned thus to let fly at me. Were I in active controversy with the Anglican body, or any portion of it, as I have been before now, I should consider untrue assertions about me to be in a certain sense a rule of the game, as times go, though God forbid that I should indulge in them myself in the case of another. I have never been very sensitive of such attacks; rarely taken notice of them. Now, when I have long ceased from controversy, they continue: they have lasted incessantly from the year 1833 to this day. They do not ordinarily come in my way: when they do, I let them pass through indolence. Sometimes friends send me specimens of them; and sometimes they are such as I am bound to answer,
1 A gentleman who interposed between Mr. Kingsley and Dr. Newman.
if I would not compromise interests which are dearer to me than life. The January number of the Magazine was sent to me, I know not by whom, friend or foe, with the passage on which I have animadverted, emphatically, not to say indignantly, scored against. Nor can there be a better proof that there was a call upon me to notice it, than the astounding fact that you can so calmly (excuse me) confess plainly " of yourself, as you do, " that you had read the passage, and did not even think that I or any of my communion would think it unjust."
Most wonderful phenomenon! An educated man, breathing English air, and walking in the light of the nineteenth century, thinks that neither I nor any members of my communion feel any difficulty in allowing that " Truth for its own sake need not, and on the whole ought not to be, a virtue with the Roman Clergy"; nay, that they are not at all surprised to be told that " Father Newman had informed " the world, that such is the standard of morality acknowledged, acquiesced in, by his co-religionists! But, I suppose, in truth, there is nothing at all, however base, up to the high mark of Titus Oates, which a Catholic may not expect to be believed of him by Protestants, however honourable and hardheaded. However, dismissing this natural train of thought, I observe on your avowal as follows; and I think what I shall say will commend itself to your judgment as soon as I say it.
I think you will allow then, that there is a broad difference between a virtue, considered in itself as a principle or rule, and the application or limits of it in human conduct. Catholics and Protestants, in their view of the substance of the moral virtues, agree, but they carry them out variously in detail; and in particular instances, and in the case of particular actors or writers, with but indifferent success. Truth is the same in itself and in substance to Catholic and Protestant; so is purity: both virtues are to be referred to that moral sense which is the natural possession of us all. But when we come to the question in detail, whether this or that act in particular is conformable to the rule of truth, or again to the rule of purity; then sometimes there is a difference of opinion between individuals, sometimes between schools, and some times between religious communions. I, on my side, have long thought, even before I was a Catholic, that the Protestant system, as such, leads to a lax observance of the rule of purity; Protestants think that the Catholic system, as such, leads to a lax observance of the rule of truth. I am very sorry that they should think so, but I cannot help it; I lament their mistake, but I bear it as I may. If Mr. Kingsley had said no more than this, I should not have felt it necessary to criticise such an ordinary remark. But, as I should be committing a crime, heaping dirt upon my soul, and storing up for myself remorse and confusion of face at a future day, if I applied my abstract belief of the latent sensuality, of Protestantism on a priori reasoning, to individuals, to living persons, to authors and men of name, and said (not to make disrespectful allusion to the living) that Bishop Van Mildert, or the Rev. Dr. Spry, or Dean Milner, or the Rev. Charles Simeon " informs us that chastity for its own sake need not be, and on the whole ought not to be, a virtue with the Anglican clergy," and then, when challenged for the proof, said, " Vide Van Mildert's Bampton Lectures and Simeon's Skeleton Sermons passim;" and, as I should only make the matter still worse, if I pointed to flagrant instances of paradoxical divines or of bad clergymen among Protestants, as, for instance, to that popular London preacher at the end of last century who advocated polygamy in print; so, in like manner, for a writer, when he is criticising definite historical facts of the sixteenth century, which stand or fall on their own merits, to go out of his way to have a fling at an unpopular name, living but " down," and boldly to say to those who know no better, who know nothing but what he tells them, who take their tradition of historical facts from him, who do not know me,-to say of me, " Father Newman informs us that Truth for its own sake need not be, and on the whole ought not to be, a virtue with the Roman clergy," and to be thus brilliant and antithetical (save the mark!) in the very ,cause of Truth, is a proceeding of so special a character as to lead me to exclaim, after the pattern of the celebrated saying, " 0 Truth, how many lies are told in thy name! "
Such being the state of the case, I think I shall carry you along with me when I say, that, if there is to be any explanation in the Magazine of so grave an inadvertence, it concerns the two gentlemen who are responsible for it, of what complexion that explanation shall be. For me, it is not I who ask for it; I look on mainly as a spectator, and shall praise or blame, according to my best judgment, as I see what they do. Not that, in so acting, I am implying a doubt of all that you tell me of them; but "handsome is, that handsome does.@ If they set about proving their point, or, should they find that impossible, if they say so, in either case I shall call them men. But, bear with me for harbouring suspicion which Mr. Kingsley's letter to me has inspired if they propose merely to smooth the matter over by publishing to the world that I have " complained," or that " they yield to my letters, expostulations, representations, explanations," or that " they are quite ready to be convinced of their mistake, if I will convince them,@ or that " they have profound respect for me, but really they are not the only persons who have gathered from my writings what they have said of me," or that " they are unfeignedly surprised that I should visit in their case what I have passed over in the case of others," or that " they have ever had a true sense of my good points, but cannot be expected to be blind to my faults," if this be the sum total of what they are to say, and they ignore the fact that the onus probandi of a very definite accusation lies upon them, and that they have no right to throw the burden upon others, then, I say with submission, they had better let it all alone, as far as I am concerned, for a half-measure settles nothing.
January 10.-I will add, that any letter addressed to me by Mr. Kingsley, I account public property; not so, should you favour me with any fresh communication yourself.

The Rev. Charles Kingsley to Dr. Newman
Reverend Sir, Eversley Rectory, January 14, 1864.
I have the honour to acknowledge your answer to my letter. I have also seen your letter to Mr. X. Y. On neither of them shall I make any comment, save to say, that, if you fancy that I have attacked you because you were, as you please to term it, " down," you do me a great injustice; and also, that the suspicion expressed in the latter part of your letter to Mr. X.Y., is needless.
The course, which you demand of me, is the only course fit for a gentleman; and, as the tone of your letters (even more than their language) make me feel, to my very deep pleasure, that my opinion of the meaning of your words was a mistaken one, I shall send at once to Macmillan's Magazine the few lines which I inclose.
You say, that you will consider my letters as public. You have every right to do so.
I remain, Reverend Sir,
yours faithfully, (Signed) Charles KINGSLEY

Dr. Newman to the Rev. Charles Kingsley
The Oratory, January 17, 1864.
Reverend Sir,
Since you do no more than announce to me your intention of inserting in Macmillan ' s Magazine the letter, a copy of which you are so good as to transcribe for me, perhaps I am taking a liberty in making any remarks to you upon it. But then, the very fact of your showing it to me seems to invite criticism; and so sincerely do I wish to bring this painful matter to an immediate settlement, that, at the risk of being officious, I avail myself of your courtesy to express the judgment which I have carefully formed upon it.
I believe it to be your wish to do me such justice as is compatible with your duty of upholding the consistency and quasi-infallibility which is necessary for a periodical publication; and I am far from expecting any thing from you which would be unfair to Messrs. Macmillan and Co. Moreover, I am quite aware, that the reading public, to whom your letter is virtually addressed, cares little for the wording of an explanation, provided it be made aware of the fact that an explanation has been given.
Nevertheless, after giving your letter the benefit of both these considerations, I am sorry to say I feel it my duty to withhold from it the approbation which I fain would bestow.
Its main fault is, that, quite contrary to your intention, it will be understood by the general reader to intimate, that I have been confronted with definite extracts from my works, and have laid before you my own interpretations of them. Such a proceeding I have indeed challenged, but have not been so fortunate as to bring about.
But besides, I gravely disapprove of the letter as a whole.
The grounds of this satisfaction will be best understood by you, if I place in parallel columns its paragraphs, one by one, and what I conceive will be the popular reading of them.
This I proceed to do.
I have the honour to be,
Reverend Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed) JOHN H. Newman

4. However, while I heartily regret that I have so seriously mistaken the sense
Rev. Charles Kingsley to Dr. Newman
Eversley Rectory, January 18, 1864. Reverend Sir,
I do not think it probable that the good sense and honesty of the British Public will misinterpret my apology, in the way in which you expect.
Two passages in it, which I put in in good faith and good feeling, may, however, be open to such a bad use, and I have written to Messrs. Macmillan to omit them; viz. the words, " No man knows the use of words better than Dr. Newman A ; and those, " My hearty pleasure at finding him in the truth (sic) on this or any other matter."
As to your Art. 2, it seems to me, that" by referring publicly to the Sermon on which my allegations are founded, I have given, not only you, but every one an opportunity of judging of their injustice. Having done this, and having frankly accepted your assertions that I was mistaken, I have done as much as one English gentleman can expect from another.
I have the honour to be,
Reverend Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed) Charles KINGSLEY.
Dr. Newman to Messrs. Macmillan & Co.
The Oratory, January 22, 1864.
Mr. Kingsley, the writer of the paragraph to which I called your attention on the 30th of last month, has shown his wish to recall words, which I considered a great affront to myself, and a worse insult to the Catholic priesthood. He has sent me the draft of a Letter which he proposes to insert in the February number of your Magazine; and, when I gave him my criticisms upon it, he had the good feeling to withdraw two of its paragraphs.
However, he did not remove that portion of it, to which, as I told him, lay my main objection.
That portion ran as follows:-
" Dr. Newman has by letter expressed in the strongest terms his denial of the meaning which I have put upon his words."
My objection to this sentence, which (with the addition of a reference to a Protestant sermon of mine, which he says formed the -round of his assertion, and of an expression of regret at having mistaken me) constitutes, after the withdrawal of the two paragraphs, the whole of his proposed letter, I thus explained to him: -
Its [the proposed betters] main fault is, that, quite contrary to your intention, it will be understood by the general reader to intimate, that I have been confronted with definite extracts from my works, and have laid before you my own interpretation of them. Such a proceeding I have indeed challenged, but have not been so fortunate as to bring about."
In answer to this representation, Mr. Kingsley wrote to me as follows: -
" It seems to me, that, by referring publicly to the sermon, on which my allegations are founded, I have given, not only you, but every one, an opportunity of judging of their injustice. Having done this, and having frankly accepted your assertion that I was mistaken, I have done as much as one English gentleman can expect from another."
I received this reply the day before yesterday' It disappointed me, for I had hoped that, with the insertion of a letter from him in your Magazine for February, there would have been an end of the whole matter. However, I have waited forty-eight hours, to give time for his explanation to make its full, and therefore its legitimate I repression on my mind. After this interval, I find my judgment of the passage just what it was.
Moreover, since sending to Mr. Kingsley that judgment, I have received a letter from a friend at a distance, whom I had consulted, a man about my own age, who lives out of the world of theological controversy and contemporary literature, and whose intellectual habits especially qualify him for taking a clear and impartial view of the force of words. I put before him the passage in your January number, and the writer's proposed letter in February'; and I asked him whether I might consider the letter sufficient for its purpose without saying a word to show him the leaning of my own mind. He answers:
In answer to your question, whether Mr. Kingsley's proposed reparation is sufficient, I have no hesitation in saying, Most decidedly not. Without attempting to quote any passage from your writings which justifies in any manner the language which he has used in his review, he leaves it to be inferred that the representation, which he has given of your statements and teaching in the sermon to which he refers, is the fair and natural and primary sense of them, and that it is only by your declaring that you did not mean what you really and in effect said, that he finds that he had made a false charge."
This opinion thus given came to me, I repeat, after I had sent to Mr. Kingsley the letter of objection, of which I have quoted a portion above. You will see that, though the two judgments are independent of each other, they in substance coincide.
It only remains for me then to write to you again; and, in writing to you now, I do no more than I did on the 30th of December. I bring the matter before you, without requiring from you any reply.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed) JOHN H. NEWMAN
I Viz. as it is given above, pp. 21-22.-J.H.N.
Letter of Explanation from Mr. Kingsley, as it stands in Macmillan's Magazine for February, 1864, p. 368.
To the Editor of Macmillan's Magazine
In your last number I made certain allegations against the teaching of Dr. John Henry Newman, which I thought were justified by a Sermon of his, entitled " Wisdom and Innocence " (Sermon 20 of " Sermons bearing on subjects of the Day "). Dr. Newman has by letter expressed, in the strongest terms, his denial of the meaning which I have put upon his words. It only remains, therefore, for me to express my hearty regret at having so seriously mistaken him.
Yours faithfully,
Eversley, January 14, 1864. (Signed) Charles KINGSLEY
Reflections on the above
I shall attempt a brief analysis of the foregoing correspondence; and I trust that the wording which I shall adopt will not offend against the gravity due both to myself and to the occasion. It is impossible to do justice to the course of thought evolved in it without some familiarity of expression.
Mr. Kingsley begins then by exclaiming,-" 0 the chicanery, the wholesale fraud, the vile hypocrisy, the conscience-killing tyranny of Rome I We have not far to seek for an evidence of it. There's Father Newman to wit: one living specimen is worth a hundred dead ones. He, a Priest writing of Priests, tells us that lying is never any harm."
I interpose., " You are taking a most extraordinary liberty with my name. If I have said this, tell me when and where." Mr. Kingsley replies: " You said it, Reverend Sir, in a Sermon which you preached, when a Protestant, as Vicar of St. Mary's, and published in 1844; and I could read you a very salutary lecture on the effects which that Sermon had at the time on my own opinion of you."
I make answer: " Oh ... Not, it seems, as a Priest speaking of Priests;-but let us have the passage."
Mr. Kingsley relaxes: " Do you know, I like your tone. From your tone I rejoice, greatly rejoice, to be able to believe that you did not mean what you said."
I rejoin: " Mean it! I maintain I never said it, whether as a Protestant or as a Catholic."
Mr. Kingsley replies: " I waive that point."
I object: " Is it possible! What? waive the main question! I either said it or I didn't. You have made a monstrous charge against me; direct, distinct, public. You are bound to prove it as directly, as distinctly, as publicly;-or to own you can't."
Well," says Mr. Kingsley, " if you are quite sure you did not say it, I'll take your word for it; I really will."
My word I I am dumb. Somehow I thought that it was my word that happened to be on trial. The word of a Professor of lying, that he does not lie!
But Mr. Kingsley re-assures me: " We are both gentlemen," he says: " I have done as much as one English gentleman can expect from another."
I begin to see: he thought me a gentleman at the very time that he said I taught lying on system. After all, it is not I, but it is Mr. Kingsley who did not mean what he said. " Habemus confitentem reum."
So we have confessedly come round to this, preaching without practising; the common theme of satirists from Juvenal to Waiter Scott! " I left Baby Charles and Steenie laying his duty before him," says King James of the reprobate Dalgarno: " 0 Geordie, jingling Geordie, it was grand to hear Baby Charles laying down the guilt of dissimulation, and Steenie lect,-.ring on the turpitude of incontinence."
While I feel then that Mr. Kingsley's February explanation is miserably insufficient in itself for his January enormity, still I feel also that the Correspondence, which lies between these two acts of his, constitutes a real satisfaction to those principles of historical and literary justice to which he has given so rude a shock.
Accordingly, I have put it into print, and make no further criticism on Mr. Kingsley.

I used to love this show, but now, it triggers the hell out of me. WS and I watch it together and asked after the last episode we watched he asked if I wanted to maybe find another TV show to enjoy together. Anybody else have this problem with stuff in the media?
[This message edited by WeepingBuddhist at 11:54 AM, June 17th (Monday)]
We started watching Homeland and really like it. Then there was a betrayal but for some reason I was able to handle it in this show. But yeah...its everywhere isn't it.
The only show, or movie I should say, that triggered the hell out of me was Unfaithful with Richard Gere and Diane Lane.
Not that it matters "why", but I think it triggered me because Gere played a loving husband and she still messed around.
Ok, enough about that, back to Mad Men. Love that show. I think its what turned me into a scotch/whisky drinker
I still love Scandal, but even before D-Day, I didn't get how anyone could hope that Olivia and Fitz would end up together! I like how terribly flawed everyone on that show is (except for maybe Harrison and that's just because they haven't told much about him)
Gotta love the life that we livin'
However, I was NOT able to watch the show with my husband. I have no trouble watching it myself, but couldn't watch it with him. Alone, I don't trigger at all. I don't know if I would if he were in the room; I never wanted to watch it with him, so I guess it would be likely.
A friend and I recently gave a fabulous Mad Men party--it was an offering for a charity auction and was a huge hit. Martinis, Manhattans, fancy clothes, excellent food typical of the era. It was great fun.
[This message edited by solus sto at 7:00 PM, June 17th (Monday)]
Why do all the "cancers" be in our society have to be made into a TV show?
We still watch it together and I have small triggers but it's getting better as time goes by.
Outanowhere, I guess I've never seen Don as glamorous really (except for all those fabulous clothes!) but kind of pathetic--which makes for a great character.

When the mistress ended it and said she was ashamed I started crying. I so felt the same way.

Im trying to figure if the marks are just from my sports bra or if it is bruising from the procedure. Is this common?
Redness Near Incision at 2 Days Post Op?

Redness After Breast Augmentation
Hello. The red marks could be from the bra or bruising. Bruising is common after surgery. If the redness persists or gets worse contact your doctor to ensure that you do not have an infection.

Redness Near Incision at 2 Days Post Op?
It is not common to have an infection 2 days out from surgery. I do not know where the incisions re that you are talking about but certainly a bra can rub and cause redness. You can also have reactions to the tape or dressings that we place over incisions. If the redness gets worse I would let your surgeon know for sure.
Redness Near Incision at 2 Days Post Op?
Common--yes. Worrisome--no.Redness may occur with
- normal wound healing,
- reaction to sutures
- SteriStrips,
- pressure from the bra,
- reaction to topical antibiotics
- bruising from surgery
Other causes exist, including wound infection, but that is very unusual at 2 days after surgery.
Stay in touch with your surgeon\
Best wishes.

This is a lovely, light soup exploding with flavor. Hand-chopping the ingredients takes some time; for quicker results use a mini food processor and pulse sparingly to create a coarse chop -- not a puree.
Servings: 6
- 1 pound cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp, finely chopped
- 3 whole scallions (trimmed), finely chopped
- 3 or 4 medium cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
- 1/2- to 3/4-inch piece peeled ginger root, minced (1/2 tablespoon), plus 3 coin-size slices
- 1 tablespoon minced cilantro leaves, plus 1/4 cup whole leaves for garnish
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- About 36 wonton wrappers (available in the grocery store produce section)
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 1/2 ounces (1 package) shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps cut into thin slices
- 2 small jalapeño peppers, stemmed, seeded and cut crosswise into thin slices
Combine the shrimp, scallions, garlic, minced ginger, minced cilantro and soy sauce in a large bowl; mix well.
Place a wonton wrapper on a nonstick surface. Drop a rounded teaspoon of the shrimp-scallion mixture in the center. Dampen a fingertip with water and run it around the edge of the wrapper. Diagonally fold the wrapper in half, pressing the dampened edges to seal. Form an envelope by drawing the 2 opposite points together, then fold the top point over the overlapping points. Repeat to use all the wrappers and filling.
Combine the broth, mushrooms, ginger coins and 1 pepper's worth of the jalapeño slices in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan, use a Chinese skimmer or wide slotted spoon to gently add the wontons to the broth. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until they have warmed through.
Divide the wontons among individual soup bowls, then fill the bowls with equal amounts of broth (discarding the ginger coins). Garnish with cilantro leaves and the remaining pepper's worth of jalapeño slices.

Eagles' O-line needs to take its share of blame
Published: September 26th, 2011 | Tags: Around the League, Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles
Michael Vick, we get it. You're frustrated. We understand why, too.
You're aching because you keep getting hit left and right out there. You suffered a concussion last week in Atlanta and now a hand contusion Sunday at home against the Giants. It certainly doesn't help that your "Dream Team" is 1-2 out of the gates in a Super Bowl or bust season.
But hear Jamie Dukes out on this one: The referees are not all to blame for what you're going through right now.
"The main culprit, if you ask me, is the offensive line of the Philadelphia Eagles," Dukes said on "Around the League". "It's bad enough that you're allowing your quarterback to get hit all the time … But you don't let guys (beat up) your quarterback. These guys are taking shots on Vick and forearming him.
"Some offensive lineman needs to hit one of these guys in the head. You've got to do something. You have to send a message: 'OK, tackling my guy is OK.' But the way they're doing it, I mean guys are clearly taking shots — it's forearm shots, it's shivers and things of that nature. And that's the offensive line's fault."
Now that the Eagles' O-line has been put on notice, we'll see if it rises up to the challenge of defending its fragile QB.

Boogie Nights
It was early in the morning and everything was in sync. The vibe Zakaos always longs for started to take shape as soon as the DJ played that one song, that one disco-bell reverie with the pulsing bass line. Even two older black gentlemen had noticed how intense he and Steffani were getting on the dance floor. Zakaos wanted to pull away but couldn't, even though he's more friend than lover, even though she's more friend than crush.
Then the music stopped.
"Awwww, man," Zakaos said, dropping his shoulders.
"What?" Steffani asked.
"They cut the vocal, man."
"What vocal?"
The two older gentlemen looked on. Zakaos's voice was clear as he sang her the answer, his roundish brown face pushed up close toward hers, framed in straight red hair.
" 'Just can't get enough!' "
Just then, the music returned. Right on beat. Zakaos's and Steffani's mouths dropped open. The two onlookers had to laugh, too. It was early in the morning in a club in Miami, where Zakaos, Steffani and some of their friends were visiting, and everything was in sync; the work of a DJ, creating sonic architecture in interstices of time, spilling over into his life. Even when he's not the guy behind the turntables, as on this night in Miami last week, DJ Zakaos never misses a beat.

Zakaos is a popular club DJ in Houston, and he keeps getting more popular. He has been living here, or in the general East Texas vicinity, almost his entire life. At 25, Zakaos (who, like most residents of dance culture, goes by only his pseudonym, which just happens to be a phonetic variation of his birth middle name, Zaccheus) can count seven of those years as time spent working professionally as a DJ. His daytime job is as a record buyer at Atomic Records on Westheimer, where he has been working for about two and half years. While Zakaos's boss says he wants to open a store in Austin, he's not sure he wants to pass up on Zakaos's popularity here. If Fusion does open another Atomic in town, he might want his celebrity employee to be a focal part of it. But Zakaos likes Austin. He played there last weekend as part of the city's South by Southwest music festival -- an annual industry bash that brings about 800 aspiring rock stars and countless industry heads/gofers/ reporters, dressed in black and wearing yellow sunglasses, into Sixth Street for schmooze and booze -- and he likes that the city has a lake smack dab in the middle of it and greenery and some clublife. Three things of which Houston is deficient in two.
What H-town does have is a club scene that keeps getting bigger. And as part of this growth, Fusion wants Zakaos to have a bigger profile. Making tapes, mixes of dance songs DJs compile and which most use to supplement gig income, and landing a regular club gig are two ways to do this. But although Atomic has gotten bigger and more accessible to foot traffic, it still doesn't include any of Zakaos's tapes, mainly because Zakaos hasn't gotten around to making any yet and because, simply, Zakaos doesn't want the attention. He makes tapes, but only for friends.
In fact, the first thing Zakaos thought of when he got out of bed last Saturday at one in the afternoon, after walking in the door at two in the morning the night before and after sitting in a car for what felt like 24 hours on the way back from Miami was mixing a tape. Actually it was Steffani he thought about (as he usually does constantly) first thing that morning because he wanted to remind his friend, in music, never to forget their transcendental dance floor experience in Miami those couple nights ago, but it was mixing a tape that made him rise and shine. The song with the vocal "I just can't get enough" would definitely be in his mix.
One tape and seven dubbed versions later, Zakaos was ready to give Steffani her gift, even though she couldn't get away from work and homework for the weekend and he probably wouldn't see her until he got back. He had his tapes made, though, and if he and Audio 3 were to make it to Austin for the first set, Audio 3's at ten (followed by Zakaos's at 11), both at Twist, they'd have to get on the road by six. Austin is a two-and-a-half-hour drive on cop-free Highway 71, and ten means ten.
So if the first thing Zakaos thought of when he got out of bed last Saturday was mixing a tape for Steffani, the second thing he thought about was getting hold of Audio 3, who was driving. He needed directions.
Zakaos's house is on Hiram Clarke, right outside the Loop, where he lives with his mother, stepdad, sister and nephew. They all have their personal spaces, but Zakaos's is damn small. His bedroom walls are cramped with an unimaginable number of 12-inch records. Even the two shelves under his Technics 1200 turntables and Rane "Mojo" TTM 52 mixer are filled with records. Vinyl and cardboard platters cover nearly every part of the room except the bed, which is covered significantly just the same. An American Indian blanket, exploding in calculated, angular cultural motifs of yellows, blues, reds and greens, stretches almost the entire length of the single frame. Zakaos got the blanket when he and his family lived in Harlingen, about an hour from the Mexican border, during his preteen years. The blanket, actually more security than nostalgia, now travels with him as an adult.
When Zakaos moved into this house, his mother's, with his blanket, the first thing she did was buy her son maroon blinds to match. Something about bedding and love goes back to the family's days in Atascocita-Humble, a neighborhood where a black family of six was indeed unusual. Raised as Jehovah's Witnesses, Zakaos and his brother and sisters had learned to live among colorlessness. The only scintilla of color in Zakaos and his little brother Les's bedroom was a pair of matching Felix the Cat bedsheets, which mom had bought on a whim. Dad usually never approved. But the occasional splurge was always warranted. Especially around this house.
Zakaos's father had grown up in Houston, the first of 14 siblings, in a two-bedroom house. He graduated valedictorian of Yates High School, where he also met Zakaos's mother, and moved on to college in Arkansas, where he studied architecture. Walking through downtown Little Rock with dad was always a treat for young Zakaos, who was born there. Zakaos's father would always point to some grand, free-standing structure and say, "I designed that," which always filled the child with wonder and pride. Feelings that would last only so long.
By the time Zakaos and his family had moved to Navasota, Texas, and almost as soon as dad had begun his own insurance business, family life changed. Harsh words and bad attitudes announced his father's presence in nearly every room. The move back to Houston for his father to take a job in the booming oil industry intensified the tension. Living in one of the poshest neighborhoods in town hardly helped.
Zakaos's dad would arrive home after four or five weeks on the road only to find what he would consider a messy house. Slapping or berating Zakaos's mother or his sister, the oldest sibling, Tashon, became regular duty. Sometimes, as a nine year-old-boy, Zakaos would pull his head out from under his pillow, dry his eyes and run downstairs to intercept any damage being done to his mother and, as he looks back on it now, his second mother, Tashon. Sometimes, for Zakaos, a slap from his father was the most attention he got from him.
As Zakaos recalls those days, he wrongly thinks sometimes the discipline was necessary, even deserved. Since color was like gold in the house, Zakaos often stole toys from his friends. His mother would find G.I. Joes and Legos hidden under the young boy's bed. When she'd find him playing and ask where the toys had come from, Zakaos would lie. Really, he had been pilfering dolls and race cars from friends but he had also been taking tens and twenties from her purse to buy the brightly colored construction bits on his own. Nevertheless, he would say, "They're a friend's." Mom never had the heart to tell dad.
After his parents divorced when he was 14 and after Zakaos had learned to make sense of the illogic that surrounded him as a child, color grew in importance in his life. He soon began wearing tie-dye and brightly colored clothing. He began painting on small canvases in strong reds, greens, yellows and oranges. He began experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs. He began covering his bedroom walls with sheets of splatter art. He began hanging out with colorful people. He began sleeping beneath a rainbow of a blanket. And he began listening to colorful music. The brightest: dance.
The Life
"What time you gettin' here?"
Zakaos had Audio 3 on the phone, laundry -- two weeks' worth -- tumbling toward perfection in the garage and the game plan for his set rumbling around in his head.
"Is your house past the airport exit?" his friend asked from the cell phone in his red Pathfinder.
Even for someone who spends his life in urban settings -- raves, clubs, record stores -- metropolitan life holds only so much appeal for Zakaos. He's probably one of a few people who makes his living as a night dweller but who actually enjoys gazing out his bedroom window on sunny afternoons and seeing a blue sky and the tops of trees gazing back. If you look close enough at downtown Houston trees, he'll say, you'll see they're gray, ashen. Trees out here, or in someplace like Austin, they're perfectly brown. Bark like skin.
By the time Audio 3 arrived, Zakaos had finished laundry, had decorated -- as he normally does -- his seven cassettes (in bright leaf patterns, curlicues, peace signs, flowers, his name) and had stacked 60 records in his carrying crate. From drum-and-bass, his specialty, to acid house to ambient to neodisco to jungle. All, to the untrained ear, what one would call "techno." Austin awaited.
Neither Zakaos nor Audio 3 ever works from a set list. Most DJs don't. Zakaos has favorite songs, the kind that when the house starts dying down or when people coincidentally start vacating the dance floor, he'll pull out to drag the dancers back under his spell. But he never depends on one sound or one song too often. Great dee-jaying is give and take. And it is certainly experiential music.
The DJ's primary function is to serve as cultural shaman. By either freezing music for the moment or extending it indefinitely, the DJ controls the flow of life on the dance floor as a scientist would a microscopic megalopolis in a petri dish. This DJ music, these carefully measured techno pulses and airy melodies, is not "listening" music. It was never meant for radio, and it will never sell to anyone outside of dance culture's underground world. Similar to jazz improvisation, dance music is the experience. Hearing a DJ remove the bass from a song for a minute and watching the subsequent fallout on the dance floor -- where instead of jumping up and down with their arms in spirals, the dancers slow to a sway -- only to hear the DJ put the bass back in and watch the body-shakers erupt in a collective frenzy cannot be captured on CD. Those who try to relate to or harness it that way are blind to the music's essence.
Zakaos knows this. He has learned how to play a crowd. When he started dee-jaying he wanted to impose his favorite music on the people instead of playing what they seemed ready for mixed with music he personally enjoyed. He understands the balance now, though it's not always exact. Challenging dancers with new material as well as calling up old favorites separates the effective DJs from the masturbators in the rather snaky world of rave/dance. Since the history of dance culture or rave -- an unhealthy word nowadays -- has involved drug use, run-ins with the police are common. So it's not unusual or bad business policy for rival rave producers to call the cops -- or worse, the fire department -- on each other's parties. Trying to find work in such a shape-shifting world makes a weekly, regular-paying club gig and the structure it offers appealing, especially for someone like Zakaos. He thinks a steady club gig would help. A weekly show might happen for him at Lava Lounge, another new Houston club, opening up on Milam.
Zakaos spent a lot of years in clubs, but mostly on the other side of the turntables. Houston had such a great scene, he'll tell you, but things happened, man. Bad things. Yuppies. A word that, when spoken, always creates a smile on Zakaos's face, usually outlined in a dark beard -- no mustache, just an Abraham Lincoln-style jowl-wrap. When Zakaos first stepped inside a dance club, that first time back before facial hair, when he lived in Atascocita-Humble and his friends there took him to a place called FX in Fame City, where if you at least looked like you were 18 you could get in to under-21 night, Zakaos literally began hopping in place with excitement. He had heard all the stories from all his buddies who typically went to a club called Studio Circus and about how it felt dancing in a mass of people, but Zakaos had never actually felt the scene himself, felt what it was like standing, eventually dancing, inside some hazy cavern with red, blue, yellow, green, purple lights flashing in his eyes with melodies punching his ears and the bass kicking him in the chest. After that first time he was hooked.
Up until about the time he was 17, Zakaos had thought he had always wanted to be a dancer. A professional. Maybe work local theaters or something, or start a traveling troupe. That he would find something else to do with the music, another way to be a part of it, became real after meeting and talking with a DJ he had heard at Club AM, Mikey Pratt. It was Pratt who told Zakaos to buy a sampler. "You need a mixer, man," he told him. A mixer? All Zakaos had in his house was two boom boxes stacked on top of each other, a Hitachi record player and a set of blown speakers he had found while walking past his house one day and had rewired. A long way from the days when Zakaos would hold his portable cassette tape recorder up to his radio, but still pretty grim working conditions. His friend Adam had a sampler, an Atus -- a company that, after a Radio Shack buyout, is now obsolete -- and eventually sold it to Zakaos for $60. A $140 savings.
Zakaos hooked the mixer up to his CD player/tape deck and began practicing his cuts, splicing songs together by overlapping their bpm's, or beats per minute. (To calculate bpm's, tap your foot to a song's beat for 15 seconds then multiply that number by four.) Stretching out songs, like Shaman's "Move Any Mountain," the first dance record Zakaos ever loved reworking, or mixing songs of the same bpm's was all Zakaos could do up until the time he could afford another turntable, a crappy Gemini he got for about $300. Since most turntables have a dial that lets you control the speed of rotation, splicing together any Mozart with any De La Soul becomes entirely possible once you get two turntables and a mixer working in concert.
But for all his equipment and practicing, Zakaos still thought of himself as a "closet DJ." He had stories to tell, as all musicians do, but he wasn't ready to explain them to hundreds of people at once. He was content sitting and listening to Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye and all the blues and R&B he grew up on with his family in Navasota and later Atascocita, and thinking about the tales each song told. Not their narratives, but what each song meant to each listener. One blare of Louis Armstrong's horn or one quiver of Aretha Franklin's voice meant so many things to so many different people that the "stories," the personalized narratives in each listener's heart, seemed to flow outward in one big American quilt for Zakaos. He thought, if I put a riff of Jimi Hendrix in a dance mix, what would those notes say to people who have heard of Hendrix? In a word, everything. A billion stories, a billion memories in a couple of arpeggios on a Fender Stratocaster.
Zakaos's spirituality extends beyond the Witnesses nowadays. He believes in reincarnation. He'll say he believes Hendrix could be merely a reincarnation of Mozart who could be merely a reincarnation of King David. Where we grow up and where we live as adults affects how we make our musics. And Zakaos believes a type of regionalism affects dance music and DJ styles just as it does any other genre. But while the Chicago Tribe may be saying the same thing as the Detroit Tribe who may be saying the same thing as the Houston Tribe, one thing is definite: Everybody is telling stories.
And telling stories to every person within earshot was something dance couldn't do for Zakaos. It was at around the time of these revelations, at around his 19th birthday, that Zakaos knew he wanted to be a DJ.
Hanging out at Mega Zone Records, where Zakaos bought most of his 12-inchers, was his first step toward a break. Most DJ-culture record stores house high-amplitude speakers and functional turntable systems, where local pros can get up and spin as customers comb the aisles, and Mega Zone's store manager usually spent Saturdays up in the booth when he wasn't selling or ordering records. DJ Andrei would eventually grow tired of seeing Zakaos and a friend watch him spin every other day, so he let Zakaos get behind the turntables for a little while one time. After he saw Zakaos could cut pretty well, he invited him to a rave at the Commerce Street warehouse called Unity. That was Zakaos's first mass dance gathering, like FX's crowd times four. But not his first DJ job.
Andrei's Matrix Crew party at the Main and Naylor building in the warehouse district in 1991 was Zakaos's first time actually working as a DJ. Of course, like everything else, it didn't come easy.
"Dude," Zakaos asked Andrei at the party, "you gonna let me spin or what?"
"Mmmm, it's cool with me, but go ask Chris."
Zakaos approached Chris, also part of Matrix Crew's rave production team.
"Chris," Zakaos said, "you gonna let me spin or what?"
"Mmmm, it's cool with me. Go ask Drei."
Back and forth the back-and-forth went until about four in the morning when only about 20 of the 500 people were still dancing. Then Zakaos got on the turntables.
"Keep the pitch down, man," Andrei told Zakaos before he went on. "Not a lot o' fast shit."
Zakaos's mouth: "Okay, Drei." (Zakaos's head: "Whatever, Drei.")
The pitch was fast. Zakaos could see the crowd was small, smaller than it had been at the height of the party, but he was dee-jaying, he was cutting records and he was working in front of an audience. And he had butterflies. Pterodactyl-size, like back when he was in boys choir as a young teen and had to sing a solo part in front of hundreds of people dressed in formal wear and wearing corsages. Though Zakaos had stuttered as a child, he had always managed to sing all right. The boys choir show went well; Zakaos sang his part, and a theater full of complete strangers clapped their hands together in approval. The applause after his first DJ performance at Main and Naylor cinched it. Zakaos had found his niche.
Chuck E. Cheese's. Victoria's Secret. Kroger. Marshall's. TCBY. All those part-time jobs Zakaos held seemed to matter now. They had all brought him to this place in the DJ booth, and they made him realize how lucky he had been. How lucky he had been to find something he loved truly and wanted to live his life through. If he hadn't known those dead-end jobs, if he hadn't dropped out of Stratford High after his sophomore year because a classmate, someone he actually considered a friend, accused him of stealing a Walkman, if he hadn't thought about the rest of his young life all those hours alone in his room spaced out on acid, Zakaos probably wouldn't have developed such strong feelings for music. In a way, music was his lifeboat. And it's something he thinks he'll keep clinging to.
By the time Zakaos and Audio 3 arrived in Austin, the sun had already set, and a cool nightfall had moved in. The club they were playing at was situated catercorner to all the obvious hoopla on Sixth Street. Packed with horse carriages, street performers, passersby and cops, the main drag of Austin looked more Fraternity Row than Bourbon Street. Lots of healthy-looking white people and lots of beer drinking. Getting nasty drunk or tripping are things Zakaos hasn't done in years. He was kind of glad Twist wasn't on Sixth Street, was kind of out of the way, so to speak.
But it's easy to see why Zakaos would be attracted to this town, and why he would want to live here. It has everything that Houston could ever have, except for a particular person.
Zakaos's thoughts usually travel elliptical patterns. They either stretch way out to a complete passion for music or they stretch way out to a complete passion for the people in his life. When he's dee-jaying, you can see one side of the ellipsis at its furthest point. At Twist last week, Zakaos stood behind a six-feet-long table on which two turntables and a mixer sat waist-level beneath his hands. He spun two 12-inchers and, as he cued one to his left and let one rotate freely to his right and go through the speakers, he slid the cross-fader from its position in the middle to the left in sync with the bass tone. BOOM BOOM BOOM. Right on cue, he moved the fader back to its spot in the middle before the melody kicked back in. That someone could be thinking of anything other than the music or the bass and treble knobs or pitch level or the cross-fader appears unbelievable in this work.
But as Zakaos dee-jays, his thoughts also stretch to the other side of his elliptical way of thinking. When he's standing at the tables and flexing knobs and dialing keys, he's also thinking of a particular person dancing in front of him. Steffani tries to see as many of Zakaos's shows as she can. She, a trained dancer, as tall as Zakaos at five-feet-seven and lean, met Zakaos back during his club-hopping days, and they've been friends ever since. She listens to his stories and thoughts and tells him how she feels, and he reciprocates. Zakaos had fallen fast. That red hair, that electric-blue Mandarin-collared blouse she always wears, that love of life, that color. No chance. He now dreams one day of getting her involved in dance culture as a DJ herself. Then, instead of just dancing and cheering him on at parties, she can work alongside him. Steffani and Zakaos can produce records together. Steffani and Zakaos can argue over music together. Steffani and Zakaos can eat late vegetarian lunches together. But for now, when she's at his performances, when she's urging him on from the dance floor, she's his sole muse. And he sees her all the time. He saw her last weekend. Even though he was in Austin. Even though she was in Houston.
Zakaos knows where he wants to be.

The OAN President's Awards Banquet and annual meeting attracted a strong turnout of more than 150 members and their families last Friday night at the Oregon Garden in Silverton. The convention also featured the passing of the president's gavel from wholesale grower Carson Lord (Tree Frog Nursery, Silverton, Ore.) to wholesale grower and nursery equipment dealer Matt Gold (Gold Hill Nursery and Midas Nursery Solutions, Hillsboro, Ore.). Gold will lead a 23-member board and 7-member Executive Committee in setting the broad direction for the nursery industry trade association in 2014.
The OAN annual convention honored several members for their outstanding achievements and service to the nursery industry.
The OAN Outstanding Service Award went to Gary English, owner of Landsystems Nursery in Bend, Ore. The award is given for outstanding long-term service to the industry and association.
English is a leading retailer, landscaper and wholesale grower in Oregon and the longtime president of the OAN Central Oregon Chapter. He has served on the OAN state board for more than two decades. In addition, he is noted for developing educational programs for gardeners and landscapers in Bend and Central Oregon. Some 22 years ago, he helped develop the Central Oregon Green Industry Conference, and remains involved in this successful event today.
The Clayton Hannon Distinguished Service Award went to Nancy Buley, the marketing director at J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. Inc., a wholesale nursery in Boring, Ore. The award is given for specific and notable service to the industry, and is named for Clayton Hannon, the former OAN executive director. Buley has been involved in efforts to promote the benefits of trees, including educating landscape architects, politicians, arborists and others.
OAN Honorary Lifetime Memberships were awarded to Tom Cordry and Val Tancredi for their outstanding lifetime service to the industry.
Cordry is the owner of Cash Flow Management, a credit risk management and collections firm based in Portland, Ore.. He has served in numerous industry leadership posts in the OAN Mt. Hood Chapter and elsewhere.

Shoot a deer off your porch, maybe?
With an overpopulation of deer in the city, Two Harbors may be ready to allow archery hunting of white-tailed deer.
"I'm 100 percent in favor of this," Mayor Randy Bolen told the News-Chronicle following a special City Council meeting Monday. "I believe it's a safety issue."
Bolen said he has heard of reports of timberwolves roaming the area looking for something to eat.
Most of the public at the meeting appeared to express similar concerns.
"We believe the city hunt is a good thing for the deer herd and people," said Casey Komarek, of the Drop Tine Chapter of Two Harbors, the local chapter of the Minnesota Deer Hunter's Association.
Komarek said the bigger the deer population, the more automobile accidents and diseases affecting both deer and their predators.
Curt Gadacz, who is not a bow hunter, also supported the measure.
"I'm a gardener," he said. "For the benefit of the deer herd, we need to thin them out."
But the deer -- who presumably would oppose being shot, by bows or otherwise -- did get some support, including from City Councilor Mary Henjum Rosati.
"I believe if you live in Northern Minnesota, you should expect wildlife," she told the News-Chronicle, adding that just because deer eat flowers doesn't mean they should be killed.
Jody Zastera of Two Harbors echoed that sentiment.
"I'm concerned about safety," she said, "and children playing in the woods."
Zastera went on to say that the city of Two Harbors is not big enough to have a bow hunt.
Drop Tine member Jeff Bright attempted to quash some of her fears, stating that it would be a good idea if the city limited the hunt to certain areas.
City Councilor Chris Swanson said the meeting was held to get public input on the proposed hunt.
The details of any hunt have yet to be worked out. Other cities in the area, including Duluth, have voted in similar measures.
