I want to thank my Flickr friend Achim for letting me know about a special day which took place yesterday.
An image of a vulture can be seen in the first comment section.

International Vulture Awareness Day - 4th September 2021
In a survey conducted by BirdLife International, 75% of people think of vultures as dirty undertakers – the thought that they circle helpless prey a common theme.
Conversely, these cautious creatures are themselves the ones that are helpless to the threat of human persecution.
Vultures are affectionately known by nature-lovers worldwide as ‘Nature’s Clean-up Crew’. They clean our landscapes like no other - nature's most successful scavengers. And they do all this for free.
They are in reality fantastically hygienic, caring parents, and quite shy characters.
Nature's very own biological recycling team, vultures play a vital role in clearing away carcasses and are likely to help limit disease transmission at carcasses.
Without their heroics, these diseases contaminate water sources, creating a knock-on effect that threatens both ours and our animal compatriot’s lives.
How would your local environment look (and smell) if the garbage-disposal team disappeared?
Also, an African safari tour would not be quite the same with hundreds of unconsumed carcasses around.
Days pass, and the years vanish, and we walk sightless among miracles. Fill our eyes with seeing and our minds with knowing. Let there be moments when your Presence, like lightning, illumines the darkness in which we walk. Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns, unconsumed. And we, clay touched by God, will reach out for holiness and exclaim in wonder, “How filled with awe is this place . . .”
-Marianne Borg, The Transfiguration The Last Sunday in Epiphany, 2017

IN OCTOBER
There is in the leaves of the afternoon
a faint light
that could be blown away
with a little wind.
I know very well
how long I have been preparing myself
to see it.
We observe it.
The green burns in our eyes
and hardly anything remains of the afternoon
unconsumed.
The light remains,
like everything that does not live.
I give you my hand so we can cross it together,
so we don't burn, absorbed by the green,
without realizing it.

Strobist: AB1600 with gridded 60X30 softbox camera right. Reflector camera left. Triggered by Cybersync
For some reason, some dogwood fruits have persisted unconsumed into mid-November. Traffic was slow the other day. A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker took a couple of fruits as did a pair of Pine Warblers. And several Eastern Bluebirds.
Friday was fun. The end of the latest lockdown in England seemed a good reason to take a long weekend and go for a jolly boys' outing with Dave and Lee with a car full of camera bags, coffee and pasties. After a deal of consultation, during which the unfavourable timings for low and high tide were discussed with some dismay, we eventually decided to stick to plan A and explore the mysteries of the A39 corridor. Despite none of us being born here, we've all lived in Cornwall for many years, yet the stretch of coastline between Padstow and Bude may as well have been on the moon for all the time any of us have spent there. Apart from a pit stop at Bude to eat the pasties before they went cold and to inspect the lido at the edge of the beach, we're no further forward on that front. I really wanted to try Trebarwith Strand, but the shoreline wasn't going to be where we wanted when we wanted. So we carried on further east into a remote corner of North West Devon, just over the border among the dramatic and mostly inaccessible geology of the area around Hartland.
Some of you have set up your tripods on more or less the exact same spot as this. I know because I've seen your images of Blackchurch Rock in these pages. What none of you mentioned (although to be fair I didn't ask) is the 2 kilometre hike down the muddy path through Brownsham Wood, nor the 2 kilometre struggle back up the hill afterwards. The ankle breaker cobbles across the beach to this vantage point were also a bit of a challenge to negotiate, yet they were a doddle compared to the slippery array of Toblerone shaped lead in lines in front of the object of our attentions. By the way, why am I only allowed Toblerones at Christmas? Why do they now have gaps between each chunk so wide that an unconsumed bar could double up as a bicycle stand?
I digress. Suffice to say it's not the easiest beach upon which to take photographs, and if like me you have a limited imagination, then there's only one shot to take. There's an enticing waterfall pouring over the western end of the beach, but by the time I was done here I just wanted to stand on firm ground again - well firm mud anyway. Dave had volunteered to pose in the arches to bring scale while I floundered stupidly. My L bracket was loose on the camera, my Arca plate was spinning around on the ball head like a Dervish, and my brain was only slightly more controlled - not helped by the fact that a pair of youths were waiting behind me for their turn at the only composition in town. As I fumbled about the tripod toppled over to take a sudden salty bath in the rock pool in front of me - at least the camera wasn't yet mounted on it. Moments later my thermal "Chilly's" bottle - the one I won in a photography competition I didn't realise I'd entered - also decided to make a bid for freedom. I retrieved it from another rock pool. It now has some unattractive scrapes down one side, but at least the coffee inside it was still hot and unsalted.
Quite how I got away from here unscathed with the contents of my camera bag intact I'm really not sure. The journey here had promised some dramatic light, yet by the time we arrived here the sky was disappointingly benign. From the relative shelter of the woods we were greeted by a windy winter blast as the treeline ended and we arrived at the sea. I was glad I was wearing my fleece lined trousers and both of my coats. The balaclava beanie that makes me look as if I'm about to visit the local post office with bad intentions was especially welcome as the icy air chased around me. If the cold had complicated matters further I'm certain the curse of the wide angle lens I'd fitted to my camera would have returned on these treacherous Toblerones.
Somebody else is going to have to tell you more about Blackchurch Rock I'm afraid. Even the climbing websites I looked at wouldn't tell me how high it is. Dave is 5' 11" if that helps. It's like an enormous sandwich, layer upon layer of sandstone, mudstone (whatever that is) and shale, twisted up into the shape of a giant steam iron on its side from the sea floor. It's certainly very dramatic. Positively primordial, it's the sort of place where you can let the imagination go as you visualise a Tyrannosaurus Rex having a much easier time of the terrain than you just did here. I'd love to shoot it under a summer sunrise or a more doom laden sky one day. But whether I'll be brave enough to return and risk my precious camera gear is something I'll have to think about.
UNCONSUMED: A cross-generational, multi- disciplinary, post-pandemic exhibition by East Anglian artists.

Anyone who has visited a shrine in Thailand may have noticed an abundance of red Fanta bottles nestled next to other auspicious items such as fruit and burning incense, but why?
In the west, strawberry Fanta is often found hidden behind more prominent leading soft drinks such as Coca-Cola, Sprite and elder brother orange Fanta. However, in Thailand, strawberry Fanta seems to be ubiquitous not only in newsagents but in shrines too.
If you’re already casting judgement about a nation leaving beverages for mythical beings, may I remind you that children in the west are encouraged to leave out milk for Santa and wine is left out for the prophet Elijah during Jewish Passover.
PRI reports that it is not uncommon for people to believe in in the paranormal in Thailand. The same is true for other countries across the world, including the US and the UK. However, Thailand adds a new dimension to these spirits: one of spirituality and cuisine.
It is believed that in order to appease spirits in Thailand, one must provide snacks. These snacks often include rice, water, fruit, desserts and the aforementioned red strawberry Fanta – which is actually the most popular offering.
PRI adds that if you walk through the streets of Bangkok, you’ll notice “dozens of opened, unconsumed Fanta bottles in conspicuous locations.” Each bottle is often placed in front of what looks like an enchanted dollhouse AKA a ‘spirit house’.
Every home in Thailand reportedly has a spirit house, which effectively acts as a congregation area for friendly ghosts. Humans leave offerings out for the ghosts for good luck – stealing from the ghosts result in bad luck. If one treats the ghosts well, the spirits will in return, defend the house from demonic forces.
Watcharapol Jack Fukijdee, a host of Ghost Radio, said, “The dark spirits won’t go so far as to kill you but if Thai people have accidents, people say it’s because they didn’t give offerings to the spirits”
“You don’t take care of them? They won’t take care of you. You’ll start arguing with your family. Stuff will go missing. You’ll fall ill,” added the 40-year-old host. Fukjidee’s Ghost Radio is offers a call-in based program that focuses entirely on paranormal activity in Thailand.
“It is believed that treating spirits well also results in other benefits. “You can ask them for anything,” says Chatgaew Pinjulai, a 50-year-old woman who sells Fanta and other spirit offerings by the roadside. “Let me be free from illness! May my relatives avoid traffic collisions! Give me smart and studious children! Anything you want.”
But why strawberry Fanta?
“It’s just a tradition,” says the Chatgaew. “A very pervasive tradition.”
“But red-colored Fanta is far and away the most popular,” Chatgaew adds. “It’s good stuff. One Fanta will get you 10 wishes.”
The vendor also says that spirits enjoy sweet items. According to PRI, “a typical Thai-sized serving is an 8.5-ounce bottle packed with 32 grams of sugar.”
Furthermore, the red colour of strawberry Fanta is significant. “Red is a lucky color,” writes The Strategic Retreat, “Red is the color of blood and is a replacement for a blood sacrifice. It’s a symbolic offering of life force.”
The travel website also references the glass structure of the Fanta bottle. “Unlike many other beverages, Fanta comes in a glass. It won’t be blown over in a moderate wind. Practicality goes a long way in appeasing earth spirits in a country prone to sudden storms.”
According to the Bangkok Post, Thailand is Fanta’s fourth-largest market in the world, ahead of US and China.
The Wide Ocean by Pablo Neruda
Ocean, if you were to give, a measure, a ferment, a fruit
of your gifts and destructions, into my hand,
I would choose your far-off repose, your contour of steel,
your vigilant spaces of air and darkness,
and the power of your white tongue,
that shatters and overthrows columns,
breaking them down to your proper purity.
Not the final breaker, heavy with brine,
that thunders onshore, and creates
the silence of sand, that encircles the world,
but the inner spaces of force,
the naked power of the waters,
the immoveable solitude, brimming with lives.
It is Time perhaps, or the vessel filled
with all motion, pure Oneness,
that death cannot touch, the visceral green
of consuming totality.
Only a salt kiss remains of the drowned arm,
that lifts a spray: a humid scent,
of the damp flower, is left,
from the bodies of men. Your energies
form, in a trickle that is not spent,
form, in retreat into silence.
The falling wave,
arch of identity, shattering feathers,
is only spume when it clears,
and returns to its source, unconsumed.
Your whole force heads for its origin.
The husks that your load threshes,
are only the crushed, plundered, deliveries,
that your act of abundance expelled,
all those that take life from your branches.
Your form extends beyond breakers,
vibrant, and rhythmic, like the chest, cloaking
a single being, and its breathings,
that lift into the content of light,
plains raised above waves,
forming the naked surface of earth.
You fill your true self with your substance.
You overflow curve with silence.
The vessel trembles with your salt and sweetness,
the universal cavern of waters,
and nothing is lost from you, as it is
from the desolate crater, or the bay of a hill,
those empty heights, signs, scars,
guarding the wounded air.
Your petals throbbing against the Earth,
trembling your submarine harvests,
your menace thickening the smooth swell,
with pulsations and swarming of schools,
and only the thread of the net raises
the dead lightning of fish-scale,
one wounded millimetre, in the space
of your crystal completeness.
This small member of the corvid and jay family is common in northern high-elevation regions in the Rockty Mountain west. Clark's nutcrackers, true to their name, specialize in opening conifer cones. They stash the seeds from within for future use, and remember where they put the vast majority, but enough seeds remain unconsumed to contribute to the propagation of the trees. This role is especially important for endangered species, including the whitebark pine. In turn grizzly bears utilize whitebark pine nuts to fatten up in preparation for winter.

The sun is about to rise and the business of people hasn't awaken yet. Air is pure, cold, fresh and unconsumed. Just like flying in under the radar, before the rush I have the opportunity to exclusively own the scene and environment on my own. Thanks again mother nature.
I hate to say it, but I think the reason there are so many dead crabs on the beach is because of the "dead zone" that has been forming off the shores of Oregon and Washington during the summer.
The following paragraphs are excerpts from a paper I wrote earlier this year. Citations have been deleted for the sake of readability.
========================================================
The size of the dead zone varies from year to year. There is not always consensus as to its size. One reason may be that we do not yet have the technology to observe conditions along the entire Oregon-Washington coastline.
A scholarly article published in 2013 summarized the size of the Oregon/Washington dead zone as follows: “Regions of hypoxia tended to occur north of 42°N latitude and were most severe over the widest areas of the continental shelf. Hypoxic waters covered up to 62% (15,600 km) of the continental shelf during some years (2002, 2007, 2008), and < 10% in others (2003, 2010–2011).” In contrast, in 2009, Oregon State University oceanographer Jack Barth estimated that the dead zone affected an area of Oregon and Washington waters “about the size of the state of New Jersey,” or 22,500 square kilometers, substantially larger than the estimate in the article cited above.
As for the dead zone’s depth, one source reports it affects coastal waters from 50 meters in depth all the way to the tide line. A 2009 scientific survey of the ocean off the Pacific Northwest waters also found hypoxic waters at 50 meters. However, scientists participating in the August 2007, West Coast Bottom Fish Ground Trawl Survey reported hypoxic conditions, that is, dissolved oxygen levels below 1.4 milliliters per liter at depths as great as 89.9 meters off the Oregon coast between Cascade Head (45.00˚ N) and Cape Perpetua (44.25˚ N).
Unlike some dead zones elsewhere, the causes of the Pacific Northwest dead zone are not due to nutrient-rich runoff from rivers and other human sources. Instead, the cause lies in changes in summer and fall wind patterns on the coast. Whether or not those changes are anthropogenic in origin will be addressed below.
During the summer along the coasts of Oregon and Washington, winds blow from the north. Those winds, together with the Coriolis effect, cause oxygen-rich water on the surface to move offshore. In turn, this promotes the upwelling of oxygen-poor, nutrient-rich water from deep within the ocean. When that water nears the surface, sunlight, oxygen and nutrients promote the growth of phytoplankton.
Phytoplankton has always supported the food chain off the Pacific Northwest coast. However, the phytoplankton that is not eaten dies and falls into the depths. There, the process of decomposition consumes the oxygen in the water, forming areas of hypoxic waters. The longer the upwelling lasts, the more phytoplankton will be created. Higher levels of unconsumed and dead phytoplankton ultimately result in larger areas of hypoxic waters. Historically, however, intermittent southerly winds in the summer and persistent southerly winds in the fall pull oxygen-rich waters on the surface back toward land. There, they cause downdwelling that pushes hypoxic waters back out into the depths.
In dead-zone years, the northerly winds that cause deep-water upwelling and hypoxic conditions as described above are stronger than normal. They do not alternate with downdwelling-producing southerly winds during the summer, and the onset of southerly winds in the fall that bring oxygen-rich waters back to the shore is delayed. As a consequence, the decay of the excessive plankton bloom produced by the nutrient-rich deep waters will deplete what oxygen there is in the water and create the static hypoxic zones described in Part 1, above.
What is causing the change in the coastal winds? One explanation points to changes in the circulation of the ocean and the prevailing winds that occur at intervals of 10 to 20 years. However, oceanographer Jack Barth believes that climate change is responsible for the dead zone phenomenon that was first observed in modern times in 2002. Climate change is changing wind patterns along the Oregon and Washington coasts, though the National Science Foundation piece that quotes Dr. Barth does not explain how. In any case, Dr. Barth also believes that increases in surface-water temperatures due to global warming are making deep waters even more oxygen starved by “insulating” them from atmospheric oxygen at the ocean’s surface.

The Friends of Black Leaf
An NPC Party
Under the leadership of Vasilisa Nushka, the Friends of Black Leaf have met with great success. Most recently they publicly prevented the Radu merchant family of Specularum from assassinating Queen Olivia Karameikos. This has earned these four the status of national heroes in the Kingdom of Karameikos.
Their exploits, however, haven't been accomplished without sacrifice. Black Leaf, an elf from clan Long Runner, pointlessly died to a poisoned trap in the Caverns of Quasqueton. The nature of the poison was such that their friend and companion couldn't be restored to life. After every successful adventure, the Friends of Black Leaf open a bottle and fill five goblets. Toasts are made and wine is consumed. The fifth goblet, which remains unconsumed, is left for the spirit of their fallen companion.
Igneox "Iggy" Aendyr is the party's magic-user. As his name indicates, he is a member of the now defunct House of Silverston of Glantri. The only thing a noble name has earned Iggy is the animosity of those wronged by his dead uncle, Prince Volospin Aendyr. This is why he is far, far away from Glantri City and the Great School of Magic where he learned his craft.
Vasilisa Nushka grew up in the homestead of Sukiskyn in the Dymrak Forest of Karameikos. Her adopted parents told her how slavers from the Iron Ring had destroyed her original home and killed her parents. They also told her how a band of heroes had rescued her and her cousin from a life of slavery. Years later, these same heroes eventually led armies into the Black Eagle Barony, bringing about an end to the Iron Ring. They are the type of adventurers that Vasilisa Nushka aspires to emulate.
Iovita Maxmilianus is a devout servant of Pax Bellanica, Tarastia, the divine Patroness of Justice and Revenge. Like his mother before him, Iovita served as an executioner in the City of Hattias, lawfully beheading those whose crimes merited such punishment. He was forced to flee both the County of Hattias and the Empire of Thyatis after he openly criticized the unjust conduct of the powerful Count Heinrich Oesterhaus. Iovita is troubled by his inability to lawfully resolved the ongoing injustice in his homeland.
Zan Ganassa is a pirate and a rake from the Minrothad Guilds. He grew up on the seedier side of Old Harbortown, but you wouldn't know it from his immaculate wardrobe and his refined manners. Zan is equally at home in either an elegant ballroom or on the deck of a privateer merchantman.
Zan holds that all lawful organizations, given sufficent authority and power, will inevitably perpetrate injustice. This is an opinion he formed after a decade of conflict with the intrusive and rigid Guilds of Minrothad. After a few drinks, Iovita and Zan will debate the merits of law over chaos with red faced passion. Iggy soberly resists all attempts to be dragged into the exchange.

Baul
The Bauls are a group of mystic minstrels from Bengal which includes Indian State of West Bengal and the country of Bangladesh. Bauls are a very heterogeneous group, with many sects, but their membership mainly consists of Vaishnava Hindus and Sufi Muslims.
They can often be identified by their distinctive clothes and musical instruments. Bauls believe in living the world as a half-sanyasi (detachment from families). They wander in the countryside of Bengal singing ecstatically of the “ways of love” and “joy of simple ways of living far from the materialistic world”. Baul thought has mixed elements of Tantra, Sufi Islam, Vaishnavism and Buddhism.
Their lyrics intertwine a deep sense of mysticism, a longing for oneness with the divine. An important part of their philosophy is "Deha tatta", a spirituality related to the body rather than the mind. They seek the divinity in human beings. Metaphysical topics are dwelt upon humbly and in simple words. They stress remaining unattached and unconsumed by the pleasures of life even while enjoying them. To them we are all a gift of divine power and the body is a temple, music being the path to connect to that power.
With their simple instruments, mostly Ektara (a single string instrument), and percussions, they perform in the temple premises, amidst pure nature, village roads, village fair etc. and sometimes alone for their own pleasure.
Not much is known of their origin. Lalon Fokir is regarded as the most important poet-practitioner of the Baul tradition. Baul music had a great influence on Rabindranath Tagore's poetry and on his music. Though Bauls comprise only a small fraction of the Bengali population, their influence on the culture of Bengal is considerable. In 2005, the Baul tradition was included in the list of "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO.
Bauls pour out their feelings in their songs but never bother to write them down. Theirs is essentially an oral tradition. It is said that Lalon Fokir (1774 -1890), the greatest of all Bauls, continued to compose and sing songs for decades without ever stopping to correct them or put them on paper. It was only after his death that people thought of collecting and compiling his repertoire.
Bauls use a number of musical instruments: the most common is the ektara, a one-stringed "plucked drum" drone instrument, carved from the epicarp of a gourd, and made of bamboo and goatskin. Others include the dotara, a long-necked fretless lute (while the name literally means "two stringed" it usually has four metal strings) made of the wood of a jackfruit or neem tree; besides khamak, one-headed drum with a string attached to it which is plucked. The only difference from ektara is that no bamboo is used to stretch the string, which is held by one hand, while being plucked by another. Drums like the duggi, a small hand-held earthen drum, and dhol and khol; small cymbals called khartal and manjira, and the bamboo flute are also used. Ghungur and nupur are anklets with bells that ring while the person wearing them dances.
Ektara
Ektara (one-string) called iktar, ektar, yaktaro, gopichand, gopichant, gopijiantra, tun tuna) is a one-string instrument most often used in traditional music from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Egypt.

At precisely 1:11 p.m. Central Daylight Savings Time on August 2, 2019 I sat down at my computer having done nothing during the week to include in a report. So, this will be a report without form and void.
If this forum was for late breaking news it could be reported that in the early morning hours the news of the death of Harley Race came over the radio. Less than 2% of the readership would even recognize that name but he was known as “Handsome” Harley Race when he was on the professional wrestling cards around the Midwest.
Never was I a “wrasslin” fan but I had heard Race’s name mentioned a few times and during my last years in the “rat race” of working for a living, many a day was spent at Eldon, Missouri. Lunch options in Eldon (aka Petticoat Junction) were sparse and many a meal was a tenderloin sandwich was served to me by none other than “Handsome Harley” and his much more attractive wife, Beverley. To show I have so little baseball news to share you might want to learn about or take a refresher course on the deceased. search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=avast&hsimp=yhs-se...

Ed comment:
At some juncture, over the past 25 years, Robert Lee attended a KOM league event basically for the sole purpose of visiting with some former buddies of his, from Topeka. Although Lee played for the 1946 Bartlesville Oilers he didn’t want to admit it. For whatever reason he had for not wanting to confess being a former KOM leaguer, he was.

2009 was the last time I spoke with Ray Lindquist. I recall, vividly, him talking about the political pedigree of his wife’s family and the place in Michigan from which they came. Bad Axe would have to be one of my favorite names for a town. Ray will celebrate his 90th birthday on Sept. 30. Ray was born in Cleveland, attended Dartmouth College and is still living in Ft. Myers.

Alex Muirhead, Elvis and Reagan
Last week the readers were promised a few paragraphs regarding a former Ponca City Dodger shortstop by the name of Alex Muirhead. He was born in Libertyville, Ill. in 1927 and had played in the Piedmont league in 1945 with the Roanoke, Red Sox. He was there a month and was drafted into the Army.
He joined the Ponca City Dodgers for the 1948 season and spent one year there and retired from baseball at the age of 21 and that is when his life began. He worked four years with the California Department of Justice and then began his 30-year career with the California Highway Patrol. He attained the rank of captain and served as an area commander for 11 of those 30 years.
Like most law enforcement officers he came across many situations but two stood out as we sat on my back deck one afternoon and relived some of his life’s highlights. During the stage in the life of Elvis Presley when he was interested into martial arts and guns, his contingent pulled into the parking lot of the patrol office and asked to speak with the captain in charge.
Muirhead recalled that Presley seemed to be genuinely interested in law enforcement and paid rapt attention as he was told how the patrol operated. When he arrived Presley was carrying two pearl handle revolvers which he displayed for Muirhead. After Presley and the Memphis Mafia
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFwRiPj_pLw departed one of the members of Muirhead’s staff entered his office and said that Elvis had given him the pearl handled revolvers. Muirhead explained that it was not legal to accept gifts and that he’d have to return them the next time Presley was in the area. (The URL mentioned in this paragraph will provide many hours of gtrsy viewing if you are interested in the security that surrounded Presley.)
When Presley next appeared in the area the deputy made a trip to see him to return the gift. Muirhead said that in thinking back that move was risky. He said his deputy asked for a meeting with Elvis without telling his bodyguards the nature of the visit and he was carrying those two weapons, concealed. Muirhead mused that carrying those guns to meet with one of the best guarded men in America wasn’t a very smart thing to do.
While serving as the area commander for the California Highway Patrol at Sacramento, Muirhead was surprised when the governor’s limousine pulled up to the station and out came Ronald Reagan. He recalled the governor was in some distress and asked “May I use your restroom.” After doing his “business” Reagan came out and posed for a photo with Capt. Muirhead which never got much attention until it was published in my of my non-bestselling books. If you have the second edition of Majoring in The Minors you’ll find it on page 133.
That and more regarding the life and times of Alex Muirhead is in that book and a story about how he suffered his most serious injury in his law enforcement career. It was meted out by a Chihuahua/ Toy Fox mixture. If the stories about Presley and Reagan didn’t live up to the hype maybe you’d like to hear the dog story, next time.
There were a lot of other items I wanted to share regarding Muirhead so maybe that will happen at another time.
For those wishing to see a photo of Reagan and Muirhead it was posted in this forum in 2015 and it can be viewed by clicking here: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/20581119710/
Another link shows Muirhead’s billfold that was a gift from the 1948 team. He gave me the billfold sans any money. www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/20581106198/

Two paths crossed in Wichita and Ponca City
In 1952 the Ponca City Dodgers had two players who were natives of Wichita, Kansas. Elbert Jarvis played first base for that club and Clyde Girrens did the catching. Three years later Jarvis was married and Girrens was an usher at that event.
Just three short years later, tragedy struck and this time Girrens was attending the funeral of his friend.

Ex-Wichita Ball Player Drowns--Fishing in Pond Near Ponca City
A former Wichitan, Elbert D. (Dean) Jarvis, 27, (Ed note: He was 25) Ponca City, Okla., drowned Friday afternoon in a private pond five miles northeast of Ponca City.
He was the son of Mrs. Esta Pearl Jarvis, 1221 Larimer. He graduated from North High School and attended the University of Wichita.
He and his wife, Jackie, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. William L. Troup, Ponca City, were fishing in the pond on the M. M. Acton farm about 1:30 p.m.
After stripping off his shirt and pants, he dived into the water after something, possibly his hat which had blown off.
A man who resides at the farm, Charles Johnson, heard the women screaming and called the Ponca City fire department. The fire department manned four boats at the scene.
The police department and Kay County, Okla., Sheriff Forrest Walker and Undersheriff Norman Coffelt also helped to search the water for an hour.
The body was found about 20 feet from shore in about 20 feet of water. Mr. Jarvis apparently had cramped. Firemen worked a resuscitator, but without success.
A Ponca City physician was treating Mrs. Jarvis for shock when the body was pulled out. The body was taken to Miles Funeral Home, Ponca City.
Mr. Jarvis played baseball with the Newport News, Va. Farm Club of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and later was first baseman for the Ponca City Cubs, a class D farm club of the Chicago Cubs.
Wichita Eagle, Sunday, June 1, 1958
ELBERT D. JARVIS
A resident of Ponca City, Okla. he commuted to Oklahoma State University at Stillwater, Okla. He was born June 4, 1932, in Wichita.
He graduated from North High School in 1950. He was a letterman in football, basketball and baseball. He had played on a farm club for the Brooklyn Dodgers, for the Shawnee, Okla., Hawks, and for the Cedar Rapids, Iowa Three I league.
Mr. Jarvis drowned while on a picnic with his wife and her parents. He and his wife had begun to fish some distance from where her parents had just finished eating.
He dived from the shore after his hat which had blown off. He retrieved the hat and was swimming back pushing the hat in front of him when his wife heard him call for help.
Survivors, besides his mother and his. wife, Sarah Ann (Jackie), include two brothers, Kile, Tucson, Ariz., and Gerald, 1444 S. Hydraulic; and two sisters, Mrs. C. O. Avery, 1319 N. Main, and Mrs. H. J. Valko, 1661 Jeanette.
Trout Funeral Home, Ponca City, is in charge of arrangements.
Fifty eight years later this story appeared regarding Clyde Girrens
North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging--July 25, 2016 ·
www.facebook.com/ncfhaaa/posts/clyde-girrens-86-of-wichit... A photo of Clyde Girrens at age 86 in a Kansas City Royals hat is on this link.
Clyde Girrens, 86, of Wichita, Kansas will be honored as Keeping Seniors in the Game! First Pitcher on Saturday, July 30, 2016 at the 7 p.m. feature game of the National Baseball Congress (NBC) World Series.
Clyde grew up in St. Marks, Kansas and has lived in Wichita since 1982. He and his wife Patricia have three children -- Clyde Jr., Phil, and Tom.
From a very young age Clyde loved baseball. At 15, he was a catcher on the St. Marks team. When his team played in the 1945 Kansas State NBC Tournament, he was the youngest player in that tournament. In 1949 he played in the NBC World Series with the Cessna Bobcats and the Bobcats won the national championship that year. In 1950, Clyde signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Everyone knew that when Clyde was the catcher, if someone was starting to steal second, the pitcher needed to get out of the way because Clyde had a great arm. He played for the Dodgers five years and then was drafted in the Army and served in Korea.
After Korea, he returned to Wichita and made NBC's All-tournament team a record four times playing for the Wichita Weller Indians, Service Auto Glass and Bob Moore Oldsmobile. He earned MVP honors in 1959 and in 1963. His favorite baseball memory happened in l963 when The Rapid Transit Dreamliners won NBC's National Championship after defeating the Ponchatoula, Louisiana Athletics. He played with the Dreamliners for 17 years--until 1987.
In 1980 he was inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame. These days Clyde enjoys spending quality time with Patricia and gardening.
Clyde was nominated for the Keeping Seniors in the Game SM honor by the Central Plains Area Agency on Aging. This group serves seniors and caregivers in Sedgwick, Butler and Harvey counties.
"We are delighted to work with the NBC to recognize the contributions that Clyde Girrens and other older Kansans make to our country, our hometowns and our communities," said Julie Govert Walter, Executive Director of the North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging who leads the Keeping Seniors In The Game!SM initiative.
Ed comment:
According to the late Bob Dellinger who was the Ponca City Dodger sportswriter for most of its time in the KOM league, he cited Clyde Girrens as being the best catching prospect to ever wear Dodger blue in that town.
One regret I have is not being able to spend more time conversing with Girrens but fate has dealt that a cruel blow. In 1994 I met Girrens at a reunion of former Ponca City Angels, Dodgers and Cubs. Without any exaggeration he was the guy most sought out by the attendees for the purpose of engaging in conversation.
Girrens had a long career in Wichita amateur baseball after five years in the Brooklyn Dodger organization beginning in 1950. There have been 80 ballplayers named as the MVP of the National Baseball Congress (NBC) Tournament in Wichita. Some of those names are Satchel Paige, Ellis “Cot” Deal, Chris Chambliss, Daryl Spencer and Lance Berkman who all played major league baseball. Of course, Girrens is one of 80 players to win that honor. He did it the year his team only advanced as far as the quarterfinals of the tournament.
A Hall of Fame for the NBC tournament exists that includes nearly 110 names. Included in that group are: Bob Boone, Joe Carter, Ron Guidry, Whitey Herzog, Ralph Houk, Billy Martin, Rick Monday, Satchel Paige, Allie Reynolds, Tom Seaver, Ozzie Smith, Roger Clemens, Daryl Spencer, Harry “The Hat” Walker, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Tony Gwynn, Kirk Gibson, Dave Kingman and of course, Clyde Girrens.
Clyde’s brother, John, pitched for the Bartlesville, Oklahoma Pirates in 1948.
Girrens played professional baseball from 1950, sans 1951, through 1955 and then decided upon a life making more money playing for industry teams in Wichita. However, the Los Angeles Angels coaxed him out of retirement, in 1964 and as a 34-year old catcher he was sent to the Hawaii Islanders of the Pacific Coast league. Following that stint in Hawaii he continued to play semi-pro ball for another 23 years making him 57 years of age when he finally hung up his spikes.
Why I came upon the names of Jarvis and Girrens for this report baffles me, it wasn’t planned. It is a story about how things work out. Jarvis left this world at age 25 and Girrens is still going at age 89. But, it is great that both are being remembered. I’m sure one reader of this report will recall Jarvis. He was a young, good looking member of the Ponca City Dodgers and the less than 10-year daughter of the team’s manager had a crush on him.

Leftover from last week
Last time around there was a listing of former players never located or fate determined.
Steve Smith has researched ballplayers who were with Keokuk, Iowa for many years. When he notices Keokuk or other Central Association players who had experience in the KOM league he gets interested. He had a photo from the April 24, 1948 edition of the Moline, Ill. Dispatch. In that photo was a played listed as John Moore.
He commented “As always your reports are interesting. I looked at your list and of course the ever elusive John Moore is on it. I have found a picture of Mr. Moore which is attached. You may already have it. Moore was from Philly. I have tried to find his high school career but so far no luck. There were too many John Moore’s in Philly.”
With the foregoing input from Mr. Smith these were my observations. “Here is something to consider. There is a U. S. Baseball Questionnaire that a John Moore filled out for Bill Weiss in 1950. Here are the comments Moore made. Born June 28, 1928 in Philadelphia. Lived at 1803 67th Ave. in Philly in 1950. Nickname was Jackie. Was 5' 10" and weighed 170. Threw and batted right handed. Graduated from North East High in Philly in 1945. Played at Welch, WVA in 1947 and Portsmouth, Ohio in 1948 and played in some town in North Carolina in 1949. Maybe he felt his time in the KOM and wasn't significant enough to mention or his time in Moline, same thing. Of course, this might not be our guy.”
He claimed to have served one year in the Marine Corps by 1950. He stated in his questionnaire that he loved to play golf.. This same John Moore attended LaSalle Univ. from 1947-49 and was a member of the golf team. His name appears in the LaSalle yearbook. I can't find any information where this person has passed on. Just some things to mull over.
Another former player never found—William Ruel Waggener
This fellow was signed by the St. Louis Browns and sent to Pittsburg, Kansas in 1946. He was soon on his way to Bartlesville. During the off-season he attended Kansas State Teachers College in Pittsburg. He was back with Bartlesville to start the 1947 season but maintained his home in Pittsburg during the winter where he continued to attend classes in pursuing his major in civil engineering.
On Dec. 31, 1947 he and his wife welcomed a son they named Michael Stephen. Many references are made to Waggener in the Jacksonville, Ill. Daily Journal and they usually centered on the news he was visiting his parents at Christmas time. The last such reference was from 1972 and by that time he was living in Peoria. I believe he now resides in a nursing home in Peoria.
As you have probably guessed I’ll keep looking for any word on this man.
______________________________________________________________________________
Well, I’m done. Seventeen hours ago this report was started. Things went just fine for about two of them and then I shut down for the day. After what passes as a night of sleeping like a baby I arose and remembered there was a Flash Report still in the oven. I pulled it out to check how done it was and figured it was time to slice and serve it.
Hopefully, your piece of the report was done satisfactorily. If not, return the unconsumed portion for a full refund of its listed price on the menu.
Europe, Greece, Peleponnesos, Agrolida, Mycenae (Mykinis), House with the warrior vase, Grave circle A (slightly cut from the bottom)
Shown here in the foreground is 'grave circle A' with the 'house with the warrior's vase' on the left. Outside the Cyclopean city wall is the Oil Merchant's Quarter visible and beyond that in the BG is modern Mycenae, Mykinis in Greek. In its heyday, ancient Mycenae had also an outer city wall far beyond the Oil Merchant quarter. Hardly any parts of this outer wall have survived the onslaught of time.
As explained in the previous post Mycenae - Lions' gate & grave circle A., Grave Circle A was excavated by Heinrich Schliemann and is sometimes called the royal cemetery cause of the high social status of the people that were buried there. This status was inferred from the artefacts in the graves (clothing, gold, jewellery, weapons). One of the things he found was a golden burial mask which made Schliemann write the classic but erroneous "I have gazed on the face of Agamemnon!" There were 19 people interred here in 6 graves: 8 men, 9 women and 2 children. The men were separate from the women and children. When Schliemann found them they were mummified, so not entirely skeletonized. The cemetery is 28 m in diameter. Around the grave circle, you can see a low parapet wall made of two parallel rows of sandstone slabs. These are the remains of a younger structure, located above the grave circle itself. It was a round square with round altars probably for the cult of the dead.
The graves are rectangular trenches cut through the rock. They vary in size and depth: the smallest measures 3.00 by 3.50 m. and the largest 4.50 by 6.40 m.; the depth varies from 1 to 4 m. They were constructed as cellars (burial chambers). The sides of these chambers were lined with narrow clay/stone walls that rise from the floor to a height ranging from 0.75 to 1.50 m. On the walls rested big wooden beams placed across the width of the grave at short distances from each other to support a roof structure made of stone slabs or wood and thatch. The bodies of the dead were placed on the floor. One of the burial chambers had a particularly refined trim with bronze-clad beam ends and many golden artefacts (amongst them the golden burial mask I mentioned before). It is known as 'shaft grave 4', see the note in the pic for its location.
When Schliemann began to dig all the burial chambers were caved in because the wooden beams had rotted away. The stone slabs had fallen in the chambers and on the mummified remains. And because of the collapsed slabs, which partly formed the foundation of the square above, this square caved in on top of the burial chamber. Schliemann found chaos that was not easy to analyze:
"The interior arrangement of the graves, Dr Schliemann tells us, was as follows. The sides were lined with a wall of small quarry-stones and clay, which has been preserved up to different heights; in the fifth grave, it still reaches 7 feet and 8 inches. Several slate slabs were leaning against this wall; others were lying cross-ways or slanting over the bodies. Dr Schliemann saw in them the revetment of the clay walls. The bodies themselves were embedded in a layer of small river-pebbles, surrounded with a wealth of ornaments, utensils, and arms, and covered over with a layer of fine clay. On the sidewalls, Dr Schliemann noticed places blackened by smoke and concluded from this, and from the presence of some ashes and much-unconsumed wood, that the dead had been cremated within the tomb. Immediately over the small pebbles, which he thought served as a sort of ventilator, he maintained that a funeral pyre was erected and that the bodies were burnt upon it. As, however, in the excavations, portions of the bodies were discovered in a mummified condition, and as the utensils had not suffered at all, and even many fragments of wood were quite untouched by the fire he assumed that only a small fire was lit, so to speak, pro forma, Which was not strong enough to consume the bodies or their equipment. The space above the bodies was in all the graves filled with debris; and as there were no vestiges of a former artificial closing of the tomb, Dr Schliemann thought it had been blocked up immediately after burial. He naturally shrank from the notion that the graves could be reopened to admit fresh corpses"
(OCR-ed from: Schuchhardt, C (1891/1964). Schliemann's excavations New York: Ares Publishers)
So Schliemann got it wrong: he thought the covering slabs were wall slabs, thought that the bodies lying partly under them flagged a hasty burial and thought that there was a (symbolic) cremation. Later research learned that the ashes belonged to a ritual where a small animal was burned in situ, not the body of the deceased. And why did he made those mistakes?
Beside the complexity of the scene, the main reason was that his main inspiration and guide book was Homer's Iliad and that he operated under the assumption that it was fully based on facts. In the Iliad, Agamemnon was hastily buried after he was murdered by his wife Clytemnestra and her lover. And in Homer's time, the preferred mode of burial was cremation.
It shows how hard it was for the early archaeologist to interpret a site, especially when strong preconceptions were at play and one goes looking for things that prove that preconception. Ah, the wild paths of the growth of knowledge ;-)

Baul
The Bauls are a group of mystic minstrels from Bengal which includes Indian State of West Bengal and the country of Bangladesh. Bauls are a very heterogeneous group, with many sects, but their membership mainly consists of Vaishnava Hindus and Sufi Muslims.
They can often be identified by their distinctive clothes and musical instruments. Bauls believe in living the world as a half-sanyasi (detachment from families). They wander in the countryside of Bengal singing ecstatically of the “ways of love” and “joy of simple ways of living far from the materialistic world”. Baul thought has mixed elements of Tantra, Sufi Islam, Vaishnavism and Buddhism.
Their lyrics intertwine a deep sense of mysticism, a longing for oneness with the divine. An important part of their philosophy is "Deha tatta", a spirituality related to the body rather than the mind. They seek the divinity in human beings. Metaphysical topics are dwelt upon humbly and in simple words. They stress remaining unattached and unconsumed by the pleasures of life even while enjoying them. To them we are all a gift of divine power and the body is a temple, music being the path to connect to that power.
With their simple instruments, mostly Ektara (a single string instrument), and percussions, they perform in the temple premises, amidst pure nature, village roads, village fair etc. and sometimes alone for their own pleasure.
Not much is known of their origin. Lalon Fokir is regarded as the most important poet-practitioner of the Baul tradition. Baul music had a great influence on Rabindranath Tagore's poetry and on his music. Though Bauls comprise only a small fraction of the Bengali population, their influence on the culture of Bengal is considerable. In 2005, the Baul tradition was included in the list of "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO.
Bauls pour out their feelings in their songs but never bother to write them down. Theirs is essentially an oral tradition. It is said that Lalon Fokir (1774 -1890), the greatest of all Bauls, continued to compose and sing songs for decades without ever stopping to correct them or put them on paper. It was only after his death that people thought of collecting and compiling his repertoire.
Bauls use a number of musical instruments: the most common is the ektara, a one-stringed "plucked drum" drone instrument, carved from the epicarp of a gourd, and made of bamboo and goatskin. Others include the dotara, a long-necked fretless lute (while the name literally means "two stringed" it usually has four metal strings) made of the wood of a jackfruit or neem tree; besides khamak, one-headed drum with a string attached to it which is plucked. The only difference from ektara is that no bamboo is used to stretch the string, which is held by one hand, while being plucked by another. Drums like the duggi, a small hand-held earthen drum, and dhol and khol; small cymbals called khartal and manjira, and the bamboo flute are also used. Ghungur and nupur are anklets with bells that ring while the person wearing them dances.
Ektara
Ektara (one-string) called iktar, ektar, yaktaro, gopichand, gopichant, gopijiantra, tun tuna) is a one-string instrument most often used in traditional music from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Egypt.
Were you the sea
I'd dive deep and then
immerse myself staying
wet until I drew a water's
breath of life
Were I a cloud
I'd lift you aloft enfolded
in my ethereal mist
damp and cool but still
your nakedness obscured
Were you a flame I'd softly
blow upon the seething embers
sparking beyond your reddish
glow to burn from coldish blue
to purest, hottest, white
Were I the sun, I'd cool
but share my brightest light
to shield your beauty from
my heat and bathe you in a
glow still unconsumed.

With their simple instruments, mostly Ektara (a single string instrument), and percussions, they perform in the temple premises, amidst pure nature, village roads, village fair etc. and sometimes alone for their own pleasure.
Not much is known of their origin. Lalon Fokir is regarded as the most important poet-practitioner of the Baul tradition. Baul music had a great influence on Rabindranath Tagore's poetry and on his music. Though Bauls comprise only a small fraction of the Bengali population, their influence on the culture of Bengal is considerable. In 2005, the Baul tradition was included in the list of "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO.
Bauls pour out their feelings in their songs but never bother to write them down. Theirs is essentially an oral tradition. It is said that Lalon Fokir (1774 -1890), the greatest of all Bauls, continued to compose and sing songs for decades without ever stopping to correct them or put them on paper. It was only after his death that people thought of collecting and compiling his repertoire.
Bauls use a number of musical instruments: the most common is the ektara, a one-stringed "plucked drum" drone instrument, carved from the epicarp of a gourd, and made of bamboo and goatskin. Others include the dotara, a long-necked fretless lute (while the name literally means "two stringed" it usually has four metal strings) made of the wood of a jackfruit or neem tree; besides khamak, one-headed drum with a string attached to it which is plucked. The only difference from ektara is that no bamboo is used to stretch the string, which is held by one hand, while being plucked by another. Drums like the duggi, a small hand-held earthen drum, and dhol and khol; small cymbals called khartal and manjira, and the bamboo flute are also used. Ghungur and nupur are anklets with bells that ring while the person wearing them dances.
Ektara
Ektara (one-string) called iktar, ektar, yaktaro, gopichand, gopichant, gopijiantra, tun tuna) is a one-string instrument most often used in traditional music from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Egypt.

Baul
The Bauls are a group of mystic minstrels from Bengal which includes Indian State of West Bengal and the country of Bangladesh. Bauls are a very heterogeneous group, with many sects, but their membership mainly consists of Vaishnava Hindus and Sufi Muslims.
They can often be identified by their distinctive clothes and musical instruments. Bauls believe in living the world as a half-sanyasi (detachment from families). They wander in the countryside of Bengal singing ecstatically of the “ways of love” and “joy of simple ways of living far from the materialistic world”. Baul thought has mixed elements of Tantra, Sufi Islam, Vaishnavism and Buddhism.
Their lyrics intertwine a deep sense of mysticism, a longing for oneness with the divine. An important part of their philosophy is "Deha tatta", a spirituality related to the body rather than the mind. They seek the divinity in human beings.

The Republican Record, Friday, Feb. 19, 1904
Died: Feb. 15, 1904
DEATH OF AN OLD SOLDIER,
PIONEER, GOOD CITIZEN.
R. Butler, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Neosho county, died at his home over in Centerville township last Monday, February 15, 1904. While Mr. Butler had been having poor health the past year or two, his death was a surprise as he had been feeling exceedingly well on the day and the evening of his death. The cause of death was neuralgia of the heart and the end came peacefully and without a struggle.
In the taking off of Rensselaer Butler the county has lost a good substantial citizen; the neighborhood a good neighbor, the wife a kind husband and the children an indulgent father.
We might write columns telling of the many good acts that Mr. Butler did in his life time, but when we say that although politically he was a Labor Unionist, a Greenbacker, a Populist and a Socialist, and religiously he was a Spiritualist, that he was broad enough and big enough to not let his political or religious views come between him and his friendship for all mankind, we could pay him no higher tribute. In short, he was a man—every inch of him—and he will be greatly missed by an exceedingly large circle of people, for he was a friend to every one who knew him.
He was a Union soldier during the Civil war, enlisting from the state of Massachusetts in which state he as born at Williamstown, on March 21, 1831. He came to Kansas in 1869, settling on the farm over in Centerville, where he continued to reside until his death.
The funeral services were conducted in the M. E. church in Erie yesterday by Rev. J. L. Shinn, of Chanute, a Universalist minister. The Grand Army of Erie, of which Mr. Butler was an honored member, assisted in the services and all that was mortal of him was laid to rest in the Erie cemetery.

RENSSELAER BUTLER--An extensive farmer of Centerville township, Neosho county, and a gentleman widely and favorably known is Rensselaer Butler of this notice. He came in his present locality in 1869 as a settler from Massachusetts in Berkishire county of which state he was born on the 21st of March, 1831. Charles A. and Annis (Stone) Butler were his parents, the former being a native of Brandford, Connecticut, and the latter of Massachusetts. The father died at fifty-four and the mother at seventy-two years of age. Only two of their five children survive, viz., Charles R. Butler, of North Adams, Mass., and Rensselaer Butler, our subject.
Rensselaer Butler secured a common school education and learned his shoemakers' trade in youth. This he followed till the war came on when he enlisted on the 19th of July, 1862, in Company E, 34th Massachusetts volunteer infantry, three years service. His regiment was one of the heavy losers in battle, in the battle of New Market alone having a casualty list of two hundred men. Butler was in the battles of Piedmont, Winchester, Cedar Creek, Lynchburg, Richmond, Petersburg and the final capture of Lee's army at Appomattox. He was a musician and detailed with the regimental band. During the engagements and following the band was employed as hospital attendants, securing the battlefield for wounded and aiding in dressing wounds in temporary hospitals in some residence or abandoned house, under some big tree or in a tent where several surgeons were operating with rapidity and throwing the amputated limbs on a large pile near by. Mr. Butler was discharged at Richmond, Virginia, after the surrender of Lee and returned at once to his family in Massachusetts. For four years he remained in his native state and then sought the west where land was to be had for the taking and where opportunities for the poor man were opening up. In May, 1869, he entered and settled on the southwest quarter of section 2, township 29, range 19 in Neosho county, Kansas, and erected on it the regulation claim shanty. He proceeded at once in the business of the hour in preparing a place for the reception of his family which came out the next year. Having shipped a sawmill from the east, he hauled it down from Lawrence, the nearest railroad point, and located it on the Neosho river where it was known as the Baldwin & Butler mill and was operated for two years, sawing lumber for the settlers and for Mr. Butler's own residence which was built in 1871. At this time he also laid out his grounds about the residence which include about three acres, with circular drive, now fringed with evergreen and shade trees down to the public highway. His orchard was planted to the west of the house and the large barn and granuary have been erected under the protection and in the back-ground. His soil is a rich black limestone and its productiveness has been in a great measure responsible for the present substantial and independent position of its owner.Three hundred and twenty acres is embraced in his farm and the responsibility for its appearance rests entirely with Mr. Butler and is chiefly the business of his daily life. For many years and while laying the foundation for a property which should meet the demands of old age Mr. Butler's was a busy and intensely active life. All the attibutes and interests of the farm were personally looked after as well as the actual work of its cultivation.
On May 9, 1854, Mr. Butler married Julia A. Bennis, born Febraury 12, 1833, a a resident of Spencer, Worcester county, Massachusetts. She was a daughter of Nathan and Lucy Bennis and is the mother of six living children, namely, Eliza A., wife of L. B. Meekar; William, Nathan B. and Walter R.; Martha J., who married Charles H. Moore, and Ralph A.
Rensselaer Butler represents one of the ancient and honorable families of New England. Born at Williamstown in the Old Bay State, he is Connecticutt antecedents and of mixed English, Irish and Scotch extraction. He inherited substantial traits of character from a worthy ancestry and the fire of patriotism of 1776 is yet unconsumed. His maternal grandfather, Nathan Smith, was a captain of a company of Minute men from Williamstown, was present and took part in the battle of Bunker Hill and at Bennington, and probably also was with Stark at Saratoga. They loved independence and abhorred slavery and the blood of their sons was spilt in its annihilation. Modest citizens and industrious artisans and farmers they have, from first to last, performed their individual portions in the settlement and development of their country.

The CB&Q Class M-3 2-10-2 locomotives were built by Alco - Brooks Works in January 1919 to USRA design, and were delivered with the Hanna Stoker. Description as follows from 1914, by Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen Magazine:
1. Introductory. - The Hanna mechanical stoker, same as the Street and Standard stokers, is of the overfeed, or scatter, type. In its original form it did not meet with the requirements of the Stoker Committee of the Master Mechanics' Association in that there was no mechanical means employed for conveying the coal from the tender to the hopper, from whence it was finally injected into the firebox. Instead of that there was a hopper located in the middle of the deck immediately back of the firedoor, into which it was necessary to shovel the coal, and as the screw conveyor located within the hopper could only handle lumps of a definite size, it was necessary when run of mine coal was provided to crack the lumps to a size that would permit of the screw conveyor handling them.
In the first type of Hanna stoker the curved pipe leading up from the screw conveyor was projected into about the center of the firedoor; in fact, it was necessary that a special firedoor be provided to which the curved pipe could be attached. Insufficient provision was also made to enable one to note the condition of the fire; in fact when it was necessary to look at or rake the fire the top of the curved pipe had to be disconnected, and when necessary to resort to hand-firing, the upper portion of the conveyor pipe, as well as the upper portion of the hopper had to be removed, and as the lower portion of the hopper still remained rigidly attached to the deck it made it a very awkward proposition for the fireman to fire the engine by hand.
As the original type of Hanna stoker has been considerably improved, and this improved type is gradually being adopted, we will treat of the same only in this paper.
While the Hanna stoker differs somewhat in general form and construction from the Street and the Standard, yet the principle involved is practically the same in that the coal after being conveyed to a point within the firebox is blown by means of steam jets and scattered over the fire as desired.
2. Description of the Improved Type of Stoker. - A hopper is provided in front end of the coal space in the tender, which is covered with a series of movable plates, this hopper being circular in form. The plates are made movable so that the quantity of coal fed to the hopper can be regulated by increasing or decreasing the opening over the hopper. The coal after dropping into the hopper falls into a trough in which is located a screw conveyor, this conveyor being operated by a small, double-acting, reversible steam engine, bolted to the frames on the left side. The screw conveyor carries the coal forward to a hopper located at the bottom of a curved pipe through which by means of another screw conveyor the coal is forced upward and discharged through the firebox door opening. When the stoker is in use the firebox door original to the locomotive is removed or swung to one side, and a sheet-iron plate, readily removable, is substituted. Fig. 1 shows clearly the hopper in the bottom of the tender as well as the curved pipe which serves as a conveyor to carry the coal into the firebox. As the coal is forced through this curved pipe it falls down on top of a cast-iron ridge plate, located just inside of the firedoor opening. On either side of this ridge plate there are two inclined cast-iron wings, which are hinged at the back and arranged so that they can automatically travel from the top to the bottom of this ridge plate. These wings form a trough for directing the stream of coal, which then slides down in front of the steam jets.
3. The Steam Jets. - Immediately below this ridge plate are two sets of steam jets, the upper group consisting of a series of fingers about three inches long and arranged in the form of an arc; in fact exactly the same as would be the extended fingers of your hand with the fingers spread out. Immediately below these fingers in a very thin flat opening from which issues a thin fan-shaped jet of steam, covering practically the whole area of the firebox.
As the coal drops down from the ridge plate in front of these jets, the larger pieces strike the fingers and are caught by the jets and blown to that part of the firebox served by the particular jets pointing in that direction. At the same time the finer and lighter particles of coal, passing between the fingers, are caught by the fan-shaped jet below.
Each set of steam jets is served by a separate steam pipe, and on each pipe there is located a small steam gauge so that the pressure in each pipe can be regulated as desired. This pressure must be regulated to conform the the length of the firebox and also to the quality of the fuel furnished.
The upper jets, that is, the finger jets, being used to blow the heavier particles of coal toward the front of the firebox necessarily must have a higher steam pressure than that of the lower or fan-shaped jet; therefore the finer particles of coal falling in front of the fan-shaped jet are blown into the firebox with less force and consequently the greater portion of the fine coal is deposited further back in the firebox.
There is another reason also for locating the finger jets above the fan jet in that it enables the heavier coal to be blown over the finer coal, thus forming a blanket over the dust and serving to prevent the escape of the same unconsumed into the flues, and also to burn a considerable amount of the dust while in suspension and thoroughly mixed with the larger and heavier coal.
Immediately below the carting carrying the jets is a cast-iron table plate, grooved out on both sides, in such a form that a certain portion of the coal is carried by means of these grooves into the back corners and immediately behind the door. This table is capable of a limited adjustment, in and out, to suit the conditions; that is, if it is desired to deposit more coal immediately under the door and into the back corners, this plate is moved backward, and vice versa.
The steam jets in the Hanna stoker, unlike those in the Street and Standard, operate continuously, although of course it is possible by means of globe valves located in the steam pipes to close either one or both of the jets as may be desired, or to vary the force of the jet at will, as the condition of the fire may require. The operation of the wings on the ridge plate gives the direction that the stream of coal shall take. Each of these wings is rigidly secured to a shaft which is continued through a universal joint to a point on either side of the firebox door and over the inlet pipe, and their movement can be controlled independently of each other. At the upper ends of these shafts are short cranks having a ball on the outer end and over the balls is slipped a spring latch, forming the end of the operating gear coming from the control arrangement on the left side. This arrangement is made so that it can be easily and quickly disconnected if desired.
4. The Operating Gear. - The rods connecting to the operating gear are secured to the top of a slotted block that is hinged at the bottom to a short crank arm operated by the handles on the quadrant shown at the left of the stoker. Fig. 2, which is a view of the stoker with the coal supply pipe disconnected for hand firing, gives a better view of the cab arrangement and shows clearly the two quadrants referred to, as well as the operating levers. In the slot in this block is a pin from the vertical arm of the rocker which is oscillated by an eccentric connection from the small stoker engine. The throw of this arm is capable of adjustment. Each of the wings in the stoker has a separate connection, consequently either can be adjusted as to its movement. If the control lever is so located that the pointed end of the block is at the bottom the slot will then be vertical in a center position and the wings of the stoker will have their maximum travel. Turning the operating lever so that the pin connection is at one side, the pin on the rocker will then simply slide back and forth in the slot and the wing casting controlled by the particular gear will have no movement, remaining stationary in a position at the top or bottom of its stroke, depending upon which way the control lever is swung. Therefore and position of the control handles between these two extremes will give either wing a motion from the bottom part way up its stroke or from the top, part way down and return in a regular cycle.
By throwing both operating levers to the top, the two wing castings will remain stationary and form a trough in the center and all the coal will be thrown underneath the flue sheet and on the forward end of the grate. If the handles are both placed at the bottom of the quadrants, the wing castings will remain at the bottom of their stroke and the coal will practically all be discharged into the back corners of the firebox; if one handle is placed at the top and one at the bottom, all the coal will then be fed along one side of the firebox, being scattered from front to back. If one is placed at the top of the quadrant, and the other is placed to give full stroke, a cycle of firing will occur through one-half of the firebox only.
From this it can be seen that the coal can readily be placed over any desired part of the grate area by the proper adjustment of the control handles. If it is desired to put a large amount of coal into the back corners or underneath the door quickly, it can be done by placing both control handles at the bottom of the quadrant, shutting off the blast, and allowing the coal to pile up on the deadplate, then with a quick blast through the fingers it will be discharged immediately under the door and into the back corners almost entirely.
5. The Stoker Capacity. - The amount of coal fed to the firebox will naturally be governed by the hopper opening in the tender and the speed of the small engine driving the worm. The steam jets will take care of practically all the coal that is placed in front of them, therefore the capacity of the machine is practically limited only by the speed of the small stoker engine.
6. Getting Engine Ready for the Road. - In getting an engine equipped with a Hanna stoker ready for the road, that is, firing it up in the roundhouse, that portion of the curved feed pipe immediately above the fire door, together with the auxiliary door used in stoker firing, is disconnected and the engine is fired up by hand in the usual manner. After the fire has been built up and the steam pressure raised to a point where the coal can be handled by the steam jets, the pipe is connected up again, the firedoor original to the engine is swung to one side, the auxiliary firedoor is mounted in place, and the fire thereafter maintained by the stoker. If it is desired to examine the fire or to rake down the banks, the lower half of the auxiliary door which is used in connection with the stoker, can be swung open so that a full view of the fire can be obtained or the hook inserted.
7. Inspection and regulation of Fire. - It is advisable in firing an engine equipped with this stoker, same as with any type of stoker, to occasionally look into the firebox to see that the proper distribution of coal is being obtained by the steam jets, as otherwise banks are liable to form which may make it necessary to use the hook in leveling them down. As a rule, however, after the engine has made a few mile with the stoker working, the intensity of the blasts, as well as the travel of the wing plates, can be so regulated as to avoid the necessity of any further regulation on the trip.
8. Performance of Stoker vs. Hand Firing. - So far there have not been enough of the improved type of stoker placed in service to develop its weak features, if any, consequently we cannot at the present time treat on its troubles and their remedies.
While there are other stokers in the course of development, none of them have yet reached the stage that would warrant their adoption, and consequently this paper must necessarily be incomplete. There is one fact in connection with all types of stokers, and that is that so far the best performance of any of them has not excelled the best hand-firing; what is meant by this is that a skilled fireman can deliver more pounds of tractive power at the rear of the tender per pound of fuel used, up to a certain limit, that has yet to be delivered by any type of mechanical stoker. However, as a fireman cannot keep up his best performant from one end of the division to the other, the stokers have in many instances shown an economy over hand firing, especially when applied on suck locomotives as consume a considerable amount of fuel.
It can also be seen from the foregoing that no stoker can handle successfully every kind of fuel that may be placed on the tender, as, for instance, with the overfeed or scatter type, the coal must necessarily consist of lumps no larger than can be readily handled by the conveyors or blown into the firebox where desired by the steam jets, while with the underfeed type of stoker mine run, or coal containing moderately large percentage of lumps, is best adapted, as where straight slack of fine coal has been used, considerable difficulty was encountered in trying to keep the coal from blocking in the conveyor troughs or from banking after it was forced into the firebox.
The mechanical stoker has, however, this advantage over hand-firing, in that its capacity being practically unlimited, and the fact that it does not become tired when near the end of a long, hard trip, coal of a lower fuel value can be used, and the coal of a low fuel value is naturally cheaper than the better grades, the mechanical stoker can readily show an economy in pound of tractive power delivered per unit of cost over that of the best hand-firing. At any rate the stoker is here and here to stay, as the demands for fuel necessary to develop the full capacity of the modern type of locomotive that are now being constructed is far beyond the capacity of any fireman, and for that reason we can look forward to the time, and it is not that far distant, when practically all freight locomotives, and perhaps the heavier type of passenger locomotives, will be fitted with some type of mechanical stoker.
Meleager of Scopas the last generation of the polyckeitan school
Similar to Lysippus, Scopas is in his art a successor of the Classical Greek sculptor Polycleitos. The faces of the heads almost in quadrat with deeply sunken eyes and a slightly opened mouth are specific characters in the figures of Scopas. Meleager. Roman copy from 340-330 BC. Pergamon Museum, Berlin.
Deutsch: Statue des Meleagros, römische Kopie nach einer griechieschen Bronzestatue, um 340-330 v. Chr.
English: Statue of Meleager, Roman copy after a Greek bronze original, ca. 340–330 BC.
Français : Statue de Méléagre, copie romaine d'un original en bronze grec, v. 340-330 av. J.-C.
Meleager was among the ARGONAUTS and the CALYDONIAN HUNTERS. He died in a war which he might have provoked, or else because a certain piece of wood was consumed by fire.
Prophecy
When Meleager was seven days old, the three MOERAE appeared and declared that the child should die once the brand burning on the hearth was burnt out. Clotho said that he would be noble and Lachesis that he would be brave, but Atropus looked at the brand burning on the hearth and declared:
"He will live only as long as this brand remains unconsumed." (Hyginus, Fabulae 171).
Meleager's mother Althaea, having thus being informed of her child's fate, took up the brand and put it into a chest. But many years later this same brand was set afire again and Meleager died.
ARGONAUTS and CALYDONIAN HUNTERS
In the meantime Meleager, who was virtually invulnerable, joined the ARGONAUTS and sailed with them from Hellas to Colchis in Caucasus in order to fetch the Golden Fleece. At their return, many among those who had been ARGONAUTS participated in what became known as the Calydonian Boar Hunt. This hunt took place because because Meleager's father, King Oeneus 2 of Calydon, while sacrificing the first fruits of the annual crops of the country to all the gods, had forgotten Artemis. To punish his negligence, the goddess sent a boar of extraordinary size and strength that prevented the land from being sown, and destroyed both cattle and people. To get rid of the nuisance, King Oeneus 2 assembled the noblest men of Hellas—today known as the CALYDONIAN HUNTERS—, promising to give the Boar's skin as a prize to him who should kill the beast.
The Cuxa Cloister, ca. 1130–40Catalan; from the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa (Sant Miquel de Cuixà), near Perpignan, FranceMarble90 ft. x 78 ft. (2,743 x 2,377 cm)The Cloisters Collection, 1925 (25.120.398,.399,.452)
The medieval elements that are incorporated into this cloister all come from the abbey of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa, constructed under its abbot, Gregory, between 1130 and 1146. The capitals are vigorously carved; the planes are simple and clearly defined; and the decorative and figural motifs, concentrated at the corners, provide strong visual support for the abaci and arcading above them. In addition to examples with volutes in acanthus and palmette patterns, the capitals in this particular arcade are variously decorated with hunkering lions, beasts with unconsumed human legs dangling from their mouths, conjoined lions enframing human heads, and conjoined mermaids. The mermaid capital was originally part of the tribune at Cuxa rather than the cloister (other sculptural elements from the Cuxa tribune are installed along the cloister's east wall). The eight-sided fountain in the center (26.79) dates to the thirteenth century and comes from the nearby monastery of Saint-Génis-des-Fontaines.The monastery was sacked in the seventeenth century and had fallen into ruin by the nineteenth. As reconstructed here, the cloister is about one-quarter the size of the original, but the proportions remain approximately the same. The modern stone required for reconstruction was obtained from the original twelfth-century quarry.

To maintain prairie habitats, and reduce the incidence of predators, the Kulm Wetland Management District removes encroaching trees. In this photo, large ash trees had been cut, piled, and burned, but some of the large timbers remained partially unconsumed. These stumps and roots were buried, the topsoil re-spread, and the area was seeded with a mix of native species.
Predators such as skunks and raccoon hole up in rock and tree piles and raid nests from these "home bases", and crows, hawks, and owls use trees as perches to wait for small mammals or birds, or eggs to prey and feed upon.

The seal of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church expresses through symbolism the basic conviction of the denomination.
The SHIELD, the basic form of the seal, is an emblem signifying complete faith or trust in God as Paul suggests in Ephesians 6:16.
The CROSS forms the central emphasis of the seal and represents the Person and the sacrificial redemptive work of Jesus Christ, Son of God, the Living Word.
The CELTIC cross is suggestive of our roots in Scottish Christian history.
The CIRCLE (or nimbus) is emblematic of eternity and was used in medieval symbolism to represent God the Father. Here the nimbus additionally signifies the eternal benefit of the redemption secured on the cross by the death of Jesus Christ.
The descending DOVE represents the presence of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16) as He witnesses to the Church and through the Church to the world. Through these three symbols – the Nimbus, the Cross, and the Dove – witness is given to the living presence of the Trinity – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – in the Church.
The BOOK at the bottom of the shield represents the Bible – the written word of God. The BURNING BUSH (Exodus 3:2) on the left or Old Testament page suggests the indestructibility of God’s word; the monograms, ALPHA and OMEGA, on the right or New Testament page, symbolize the final authority of Jesus Christ who has declared Himself to be “the beginning and the ending” (Revelation 1:8), revealed through the written word.
The SCROLL beneath the shield bears the motto, “In Thy Light Shall We See Light” (Psalm 36:9).
The colors are chosen for their meaning as well. BLUE, traditionally expressive of fidelity, appropriately colors the “shield of faith”, and the unconsumed bush. The GOLD suggests royalty and wealth – on the cross it particularly suggests the royalty and wealth of Jesus Christ. RED is the color of the sacrifice and the blood of Christ – precisely the costly sacrifice of Christ by which man’s redemption is secured. WHITE suggests purity – the sinless purity of Him whom God “hath made to be sin for us who knew no sin” (II Corinthians 5:21).

Having not been to the Metro before, I was a bit leery about having to go there. The main negatives I read were :
1. Questionable security staff
2. Questionable sound system
3. No A/C !!!!!
My experience turned out to be stellar. Staff seemed plenty amicable enough, the sound was excellent, and I felt A/C !! I was able to enjoy the show and have elbow room to take pictures.
When I got there before the doors opened, my place in line was right at the back all the way to the next street intersection. Everyone after me, had to wrap around the block. I was about to kiss the balcony spot adieu. But when I finally made it inside, I went straight upstairs and found empty railing room :) :)
No giants to stand in front of me, no crowd jostling into me .. although I FELT someone spill their beverage behind me.
Or only I hope it was unconsumed beverage ...
