Bidding Adieu to Maya Angelou
by Nicole | May 28, 2014 | Blog, Books, Current Events, Life, National News, News, Poetry, Prose, Reflections, Writing |
Today, our world lost one of the most wonderful souls: Maya Angelou gave up her ghost quietly in her North Carolina home this morning.
Not only was she an accomplished writer, Maya Angelou wore several hats during her 86 years on Earth. Known for her poetry, she was also a civil rights activist, dancer, film producer, television producer, playwright, film director, author, actress, professor (Wikipedia). She published seven autobiographies and was an accomplished poet, in addition to earning several awards and honorary degrees between 1970 and today.
When I say "writing is therapy," I can't help but think of Maya Angelou and how she started writing. If you are unfamiliar with her history… she experienced something so traumatic during her early years that prompted her to become mute. Her strength came out in words, giving hope to so many others around the globe.
At age 7, Angelou was raped by her mother's boyfriend, who was later beaten to death in an assault that some believed was carried out by Angelou's uncles. The trauma of the rape and her assailant's death left Angelou mute for six years.
She began writing during that silent period. She would chronicle the first 17 years of her life in the 1969 autobiography "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," which her friend, writer James Baldwin, had encouraged her to write.
The book, which covers the racism Angelou had faced in the 1930s and '40s and her fantasies of being blond and white, is considered an American classic. (Reuters)
Patrik Henry Bass, an editor at Essence Magazine, says "when we think of her, we often think about her books, of course, and her poems… but in the African-American community, certainly, we heard so much of her work recited, so I think about her voice. You would hear that voice, and that voice would capture a humanity, and that voice would calm you in so many ways through some of the most significant challenges." (NPR)
Oprah Winfrey, who considered Angelou to be not just her mentor but also a very dear friend, will always remember how she lived her life: "She moved through the world with unshakable calm, confidence, and a fierce grace."
Harold Augenbraum, the Executive Director of the National Book Foundation, stated "we share the gratitude of so many for Dr. Angelou's contributions to literature, human rights, and social justice. Her legacy is one that all writers and readers across the world can admire and aspire to."
My favorite Angelou poems will always be Caged Bird and On the Pulse of Morning, which was made famous when she wrote and recited the poem for President Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993. Give these a read/listen. Hear her voice shine through her words. Share your thoughts in the comments section, if you'd like.
Her work and words are forever etched in our history and she will not be forgotten, but remembered and celebrated for generations to come.
I'm Nicole, a writer and melomaniac. To feed my soul, I pen poetry, prose, and the occasional blog. To pay the bills, I'm a Scrum Master in IT.
From my personal thoughts, poems, and opinions to writing tips and tricks, you'll find a random mix of content on my blog.

When the White Sox non-tendered right fielder Avisail Garcia on Friday, it brought an end to a six-year union that began with many calling the prospect "Mini Miggy" because of how similar his swing was to superstar Miguel Cabrera. And it was fitting, given that the White Sox acquired Garcia from the Tigers in 2013 as part of the three-team trade that sent Jake Peavy to Boston.
It took five seasons for Garcia to demonstrate the type of ability that earned him that nickname, but in '17, he hit .330/.380/.506 with 18 home runs in 136 games. He made his first All-Star team, and for a time, it looked as though he had finally begun to fulfill his potential. But then came last season, in which knee and hamstring injuries limited him to 93 games. His production took a steep decline, as he finished the season with a .236/.281/.438 slash line, albeit with a career-high 19 homers.
The White Sox have one of the best farm systems in baseball, and many of Chicago's top prospects are outfielders who will soon be knocking on the door to the Majors. Chief among them is Eloy Jimenez, the No. 3 prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline. So the organization decided it was time to move on from Garcia. But while the White Sox don't have a place for him, he could prove to have plenty of upside elsewhere if he stays healthy.


When Paul Ormond signed John Mitchell into a nursing home in Dennis, Mass., in June, he was handed a few dozen pages of admission papers. Ormond, Mitchell's legal guardian and an old friend, signed wherever the director of admissions told him to.
A mandatory arbitration agreement is an often overlooked document in the package of admissions papers at many nursing homes these days. It can have an outsize impact if something goes wrong. But anxious seniors or their caregivers often sign every document that's put in front of them, perhaps only glancing at the content.
The amount awarded -- if any -- may also be less if an arbitrator hears the case than it would be if a case went to trial, say experts.

CURRENTLY THAT IS SPAIN
SORRELDOWNER.CO.UK
Spain Farm
By SORREL DOWNER	Corcovado, Costa Rica, Hot, Osa, Travel Blog
Snakes Where You Can Tread on Them
Late at night in a tent in the African bush, my mother felt a muscle twinge which turned out to be a snake unfurling at the bottom of her sleeping bag and sliding up her leg. We were always finding them inside things – boxes, beds, toilets, and the main culprits were mambas.
Costa Rica has over 135 species of snakes, some 7.5% of the world's snake fauna. Inevitably some make their way into houses where they look odd and incongruous (I found one between the mattress and bed base in San Jose), but the majority are perfectly content to remain hidden on the leafy forest floor and the semi-cultivated areas on the fringes. The fecund Osa is snake nirvana, and although almost every species is well-represented, the two families I like to keep an eye out for are the pit-vipers, of which the fer-de-lance or terciopelo is the most troublesome and venomous, and the Elapidae or coral snakes.
Aside from having no legs and injecting deadly venom, the fer-de-lance and coral snake couldn't be more different. The first is perfectly camouflaged in the green, brown, grey leaf litter, has a mouth like a Pez dispenser, and (cue complaints from herpetologists) lies in ambush, proactively attacking innocent passers-by even if it means pursuing them through rivers. I have anecdotal evidence from a man with a disgusting-looking shin. The coral snake is gaudy and more laid-back with a mean little mouth, and it bites fewer people. Having said that, it is known as the 20-minute snake because if it does inject its neurotoxic venom that's all the time you've got left before you die from paralysis and suffocation. Apparently.
So I was depressed at my own stupidity the other day when I almost trod on one while striding vacantly along a path wearing flip flops. And I have to say for a supposedly laid-back snake, he was pretty zippy, snapping back and forth, which is why the video footage is jerky, truncated, and cut to remove the various expletives.
Naturally, I considered what might have happened if I hadn't retracted my foot before it made full contact with the snake's tail end. It was getting dark which would have made a boat trip problematic; the nearest clinic was 90-minutes away, it wouldn't be open, and there was no guarantee a doctor would be in town, or that anyone would have the anti-venom, and anyway the captains were listening to the football. On the positive side, half the coral snake's strikes are dry. Still, I resolved to wear boots and pay more attention to where I was stepping in future.
The distinctive red, yellow and black bands of the venomous coral snake are a flashy warning to predators to stay well clear. So effective is that message, that a host of non-poisonous snakes – the false corals – have jumped on the bandwagon and adopted the same sort of look, a ruse that completely interferes with normal, intelligent human behaviour. Instead of stepping away from snakes with stripes, everyone hangs around, involved in heated debates and reciting mnemonics in order to work out whether it's one of the four species in Costa Rica with a fatal bite or not.
Among the most popular are:
"Red touches yellow, kills a fellow. Red touches black, venom lack", or "Red with black, you're okay Jack"
"Red on black, friend of Jack, black on yellow, kill a fellow"
"Red into black, venom lack; red into yellow, kill a fellow".
If you get a whiteboard and a set of coloured pens you'll see that they basically say the same thing. As does my own personal favourite for of I.D-ing true corals, R.A.N.A: Rojo, Amarillo, Negro, Amarillo, which translates as F.R.O.G: Red, Yellow, Black, Yellow, which of course makes no sense at all unless you are a Spanish speaker, and just confuses the issue in a stressful situation.
Anyway, it's all irrelevant in Costa Rica where the various different species and subspecies, true and false, don't necessarily conform to the rules of the rhymes. Some do; some don't. The Central American coral snake, the most common here, has a number of sub-species that don't even sport three colours – they're bicolour. Just give banded snakes a swerve ("Say bye-bye, you won't die", "Stay away, live next day", "Don't be green, they're all mean" – these need a little work). Obviously, I mean green as in naive, rather than advocating lifting the green policies that protect all rainforest snakes (along with scorpions, ticks, crocodiles and thorny palms).
Although in a sad postscript I have to reveal that this particular snake got himself in a bit of a pickle some days later, accidentally slithering through open doors across the floor towards a cook's foot, and, in the panic that ensued, he lost his life. Shame.

CLYDE PUFFER
This model was born from a chat I had with Craig Talbot (Action Man) about how small a model could be made with all of his micro-electronic gizmo's on board. A puffer seemed an obvious choice because of its relatively large displacement c/w overall size, and also because I could add various scale-ish bits and pieces without reference to a definitive "type" ('cos there wasn't such a thing!).
I scaled the lines from Vic Smeed's Lochinvar plans, making the hull 12 ins (320mm) from stem to stern; this is around 1/66 scale. A plug was carved from jelutong and then a vac-formed styrene hull produced, split into two halves along the keel and stem. The deck, hatch and superstructure are all made from 1mm styrene sheet and the various fittings from brass wire, dowel etc. I bought the stanchions from Squires and the dinghy is a 1/72 scale Quaycraft resin casting from Westbourne Models; all of the rest is scratch-built. I used the photos from Dave Abbot's Mountfleet Highlander kit review in Model Boats magazine as a source for the finer details. The model was finished using Halfords acrylic spray paints with Humbrol enamels for the smaller details. The pictures show the small size of Puffer – that cutting mat is A4.
The model is powered by a 6v cassette motor which drives a three-bladed 30mm plastic prop through a 2.3mm shaft. I used 4 x AA sized 1600 mAH NiMH cells as the power source for everything on board. Radio is a 40 Meg Hi Tech Ranger (converted to 4 channels) with one of their "Feather" receivers and an HS55 micro servo for the rudder. The ESC is an ACTION Pico P68 micro-computerised job, while there are two prototype Pico Twinswitch units to control the navigation and wheelhouse lights, a steam whistle and a 6v smoke generator unit inside the funnel. There is also a P64 Micro Steam Engine sound unit connected to the ESC which powers a thin Mylar waterproof micro-speaker glued under the hatch-top. All of the electronic units were supplied by ACTion - details are available from their website www.actionkit.co.uk.
Puffer looks a treat on the water with a plume of smoke streaming from the funnel, as anyone who saw her sailing at the Leamington show will agree. There are plans to produce a kit for the model, complete with brass etchings and cast white-metal fittings, but don't hold your breath because I've two other kit projects to finish first. Meanwhile ACTion have taken delivery of this little model and will use it to demonstrate their units at next year's shows. Now he's talking about a twin-engined tug of the same size…….!


UPDATE: The tutorial for this case is has been posted here. Enjoy!
About a year ago I bought this beautiful little collection of bamboo crochet hooks. I had no idea why I wanted them so badly at the time.
Don't get me wrong. I love crochet. I once crocheted an entire afghan for my brother.
That was before I started sewing and quilting so much.
so I could sew a cute case to put them in!
You might recognize that this little case was inspired by one of the U-Pick sewing projects that didn't win this month.
I used mesh and a magnetic snap (just like the inspiration photo), but I've been using a lot of bias binding lately so I decided to use piping this time instead.
Did you see the project that did win the U-Pick Tutorial Challenge this month? The Pool Chair Cover tutorial is out and it's amazing!
So what have you been sewing up this week? We want you to show off what you've been making. Did you make something with one of my free sewing tutorials or patterns? Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.

Howdy, did you enjoy the fun color combos I talked about earlier this week? Today's post however was brought on by something that happened at our Easter brunch. Keep reading for the full story below.
At brunch on Easter we were running a bit behind getting all the food ready and set up, thanks to a late night at church the night before. I didn't have time to add any tasty or pretty things to our water dispenser and it just looked so bland. I quickly cut up a lemon and threw it in because that's all I had on hand. Mostly though I couldn't handle having an empty looking water container.
So today I wanted to share a few ideas on how to dress up serving water at a party. It's a basic necessity to have at any party, but making it pretty might encourage guests to stay even more hydrated.
This is the main way I serve water at any of my own parties. I have a great glass dispenser and stand that I got several years ago that still works wonderfully. However, I don't just fill it with water and call it good. I like to add things to the dispenser to flavor the water or make it look prettier.
It's also really easy to dress up your water dispenser with fun signs, ribbon, or party decor. Love the bandana on the dispenser below at a cowgirl party.
Serving individual glasses of water is great, but pre-mixing them in individual mason jars is even better. They look so cute with the lids, plus they're spill proof. That makes them great for kids parties, especially these plastic mason jars.
I recently used my collection of carafes to serve water and thought "why hadn't I done this before?" I mean I use them for mimosa bars all the time, just not to serve water. It was such an easy way to keep a reserve of water on the table to refill glasses when needed.
I have open top carafes, but getting some of these would be a great way to serve water at the table.
Water bottles are an easy way to keep party guests hydrated, but they aren't that pretty to look at. There are a ton of places to make custom labels for your water bottles, but that seems like a waste of time in my opinion.
I'd rather set up or display the bottles in a prettier way. Grouping a large amount of like items together is always an impressive way to display something and that's no different for water bottles.
I love the idea of grouping water bottles together in interesting containers like buckets, crates, suitcases, or troughs.
Serving water in traditional glasses isn't totally out of style, but there are fun ways to do it. I love using a collection of party coordinated colored water glasses instead of clear glass. They can make a big impact and help bring in the color scheme of your party.
Try renting glasses from a party rental company instead of having to buy and store a bunch of glasses you may not use regularly. But if you want to buy some, I love these, these, and these.
With any of these pretty water alternatives it's a great idea to dress up the ice too. You can never go wrong with adding fruit or flowers to ice cubes, or even glitter. Just be sure to not put ice cubes in drinks with things that aren't edible. Love this ice mold I made for the holidays with a bundt pan, fruit and herbs. It looked beautiful in our punch bowl.
I hope some of these ideas give you inspiration to use at your next party. Like I said before serving water is necessary, but making it look pretty is almost as important. Here's to no more bland water containers!

Copper could be answer to MRSA
Chrome-plated and stainless steel fittings at a Birmingham hospital are being replaced with copper to see if the metal can kill MRSA bacteria.
Selly Oak Hospital has been chosen for an 18-month trial to begin next month, it was revealed yesterday.
The European Copper Institute made the announcement after scientists at Southampton University and Aston University, in Birmingham, found copper's "antimicrobial" properties can kill the superbug within 90 minutes.
It chose Selly Oak, run by University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, because it is a specialist trauma centre with an advanced microbiology unit.
About 80 per cent of MRSA transmission is through surface contact, with people unwittingly picking up the infection from doors, railings, or taps.
If the trial is successful, a wholesale switch to copper in thousands of hospitals across Europe is on the cards.
All fittings on medical ward B4 at Selly Oak will be replaced with copper, produced and donated free by Midland firms.
Professor Tom Elliot, the trust's deputy medical director, said existing fitments were brass, which contains copper, but had been covered in chrome "to make them look nice".
He added: "This negates any properties in the copper alloy which could kill bugs.
"Everything from door handles, push-plates, bath taps and even doctors' pens will be fashioned out of copper.
"The number of MRSA contacts will be measured alongside another unmodified wards here.
"Potentially, it is very, very exciting if we find that copper actually works in a clinical environment, following the laboratory tests in Southampton and here in Birmingham."
Health Protection Agency figures published in January revealed the trust had reduced the number of new MRSA cases by nearly a third (31.5 per cent) last year.
Prof Elliot added: "While we can never be complacent when it comes to dealing with micro-organisms like MRSA and Clostridium Difficile, if this trial works it could be extended throughout the hospital and beyond.
"Copper is an intelligent metal and it can also be used in fabrics, so we could also see MRSA-resistant uniforms and blankets being developed in future."n Screening people for MRSA before they have a hospital operation would make a "significant difference" to the numbers dying from the superbug, according to an expert.
Professor Richard James, director of the Centre for Healthcare Associated Infections at the University of Nottingham, said screening people and then isolating them until their MRSA status was known would have a dramatic effect on infection rates.
At present, about 40 per cent of staphylococcus infections in blood are MRSA, meaning they are resistant to the antibiotic methicillin. But with screening and then isolation, that figure would drop to less than one per cent within six years, he said.

Jury convicts 2nd of 3 men charged with murder in 2019 slaying of Bay City man during botched marijuana theft
Updated: Nov. 10, 2021, 11:22 a.m. | Published: Nov. 10, 2021, 11:22 a.m.
Devon J. Knights enters the courtroom for his preliminary examination along with two other defendants, Brandon M. Dupuis and Brandon D. Miller, who are all charged with murder in the July 29 killing of Tyler R. Gruber in Bay County District Judge Mark E. Janer's courtroom Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2019. Rachel Ellis | MLive.com
By Cole Waterman
BAY CITY, MI — A jury has found a man guilty of murder for his role in a 2019 marijuana robbery that turned fatal when the Bay City homeowner interrupted his three would-be burglars.
The jurors deliberated for about four hours before delivering their verdicts about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 9, finding Devon J. Knights, 26, guilty of first-degree felony murder, armed robbery, first-degree home invasion, and conspiracy to commit first-degree home invasion. Jurors acquitted Knights of a fifth charge, that being conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
The convictions stem from the July 2019, killing of 39-year-old Tyler R. Gruber, shot twice inside his home at 505 N. Henry St. A jury in October found lead suspect Brandon M. Dupuis, 29, guilty of first-degree premeditated murder, first-degree felony murder, first-degree home invasion, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit first-degree home invasion, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, felon in possession of a firearm, and five counts of felony firearm.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Arrest warrants for two people charged in a deadly shooting over the Halloween weekend indicate that the killing took place during a scheme by the suspects to rob the victim.
The warrants obtained by News13 do not reveal many details about their alleged plot to commit an armed robbery that led to the Oct. 30 death of Patrick Smith, 49, of Marshville, North Carolina. However, they do indicate that Smith was apparently trying to flee from the suspects when he was shot.
Two suspects, Katerena Bedjan, 27, of Leland, North Carolina, and Leo Watkins, 17, of Surfside Beach, who also had a Henderson, North Carolina, address, each face murder and criminal-conspiracy charges. They both are being held without bond in the J. Reuben Long Detention Center.

32 BLACK-ON-WHITE HOMICIDES, INCLUDING FIVE HOME INVASIONS: October 2021—Another Month In the Death of White America
The 32 whites whose killings by blacks were reported in October got nothing, as usual. Besides the continuing toll of white women killed by black husbands/ lovers/ ex-lovers, I note at least five home invasions. This may be a new trend, as black criminals get increasingly confident they won't be resisted or punished.

Gang member arrested in Columbia student Davide Giri's fatal stabbing, attack on tourist
By Jack Morphet, Emily Crane, Joe Marino, Craig McCarthy and Joshua Rhett Miller
December 3, 2021 8:02 am Updated
A gang member with a lengthy rap sheet fatally stabbed a Columbia University student, injured a tourist and threatened another man in an unprovoked knife frenzy near the Manhattan campus Thursday night, police said.
The terrifying 15-minute stabbing spree started when Columbia grad student Davide Giri, 30, was knifed in the stomach in Morningside Park just before 11 p.m., police sources told The Post Friday.
Giri, who is from Italy, stumbled out of the park and collapsed near the corner of West 123rd Street and Amsterdam Avenue, where he was found by cops. He was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai-Saint Luke's Hospital.
The second victim — a 27-year-old Italian tourist who had only arrived in the city a day earlier — was found with stab wounds to the torso at West 110th Street and Cathedral Parkway 15 minutes later, law-enforcement sources said.
Davide Giri was a 30-year-old graduate student at Columbia.

Ryan Rogers murder: Documents suggest racial motive in teen's Palm Beach Gardens stabbing
Semmie Williams Jr. has 16-page Florida rap sheet in addition to assault and battery charges in Georgia
By Michael Ruiz | Fox News
Semmie Williams, the 39-year-old Florida man accused of brutally killing 14-year-old Ryan Rogers in Palm Beach Gardens, allegedly used racially charged language during the intake process at a Palm Beach County jail.
Jailhouse records obtained by Fox News Digital show that on Dec. 2, Williams allegedly fought with officers, called one a "White devil," and suggested a motive behind the teen's stabbing death.
"While fingerprinting his left hand, I asked him if he understood the charges," Officer Michael McCabe wrote in an incident report. "He stated, 'Yea, murder, because of what they did to Black people about giving them syphilis.'"

Two arrested after two shot, one killed in South Birmingham
Two arrested after two shot, one killed in South Birmingham(Birmingham Police)
By WBRC Staff
Published: Dec. 25, 2021 at 3:10 AM GMT+1
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Birmingham Police say two men have been arrested after two people were shot and one was killed in South Birmingham on Christmas Eve morning.
Birmingham Police say officers were dispatched to Marty's PM on 10th Court South after a shots fired call. There they found a man at the entrance suffering from a gunshot wound, as well as another man injured from a gunshot wound in the parking lot across the street. Police say both men were taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. One man, 42-year-old Shaun Rhudy died of his injuries.
Authorities believe management from Marty's PM did not let 21-year-old Alonzo Johnson II inside due to a past incident. Police say Johnson was then involved in an altercation in the parking lot across the street when shots were fired. Police say Johnson then fled the scene in a car that picked him up.
Police say members of the community gave authorities information on the suspect's vehicle. Officers were later dispatched to I-59 South past the the Arkadelphia Road exit on reports of a vehicle on fire. There, they found the car matched the suspect's vehicle, where Johnson and 27-year-old Terrill Huey Jr. were taken into custody.

Missouri: Black Career Criminal Murders White Baby And His Father
Eric Striker 11 hours ago
A young father and his infant son were murdered by a black criminal in Kirksville, Missouri last week.
22-year-old Braxton Cottrill, 18-month-old Parker, 18-year-old Alissa Anders, and 21-year-old Randall Yarrington were shot in an alleged ambush by 22-year-old Anquan Glover, in a vicious ambush. Cottrill and Parker both died, while Anders remains in critical condition.
The shooting occurred on December 30th, yet the black suspect has not yet been apprehended.
Glover's criminal record runs deep into his juvenile years, but these records are sealed. In just four short years since turning 18, Glover has been charged with felony assaults, first degree robberies, jumping bail, a myriad of reckless activities, and even a separate shooting.
In 2017, Glover followed a car into a Quik Trip parking lot full of people he claimed had "snitched" on him. He approached the vehicle and opened fire on the motorists with a handgun.
According to court records obtained by National Justice, Glover -- who had received charitable pleas for previous offenses -- was sentenced in 2019 to separate five and four year prison sentences for the numerous charges he had incurred in relation to his spree of criminal activity.
While in custody, Glover was again charged for a previously unresolved armed robbery in Jefferson City, Missouri as well as felonious damage to prison property while incarcerated. In April 2021, he was again sentenced to a year in prison yet was released years before his accumulated time was completed.
Glover was free to murder Cottrill and his son thanks to a series of sweeping reforms by the Missouri Supreme Court that make it difficult to secure convictions, water down prison sentences, and forbids judges from taking a criminal's record into account during bail hearings regardless of the gravitiy of an offense, all of which have led recidivism.
The Supreme Court's reforms -- dictated by fiat rather than legislation -- are consciously intended to privilege non-white criminals in the justice system. Many of the changes were based on recommendations from the court's Commission on Racial and Ethnic Fairness, which receives policy recommendations from anti-white black and Jewish college professors such as Mikah Thompson and David Achtenberg.
While some Republicans in the state legislature have tried to battle these reforms, ultimately releasing dangerous black serial offenders back to the street is a bipartisan issue in Missouri.
Republican Governor Mike Parson has been a leading figure among conservative officials who support "criminal justice reform." Since taking office in 2018, Governor Parson has overseen efforts to significantly reduce Missouri's prison population by encouraging early release and probation sentences over incarceration. His stated reason for these policies is that he wants to save money.
After years of progress against crime, Missouri is now currently home to some of the most dangerous cities in the world. St Louis' homicide rate is higher than in Mexico's cartel hubs, numerous Brazilian favelas, and much of sub-Saharan Africa. Springfield, with its small population of 167,000, is one of the most dangerous metro areas in the United States. Kansas City broke its record for homicides in 2020.

Rashaun Weaver received the sentence for fatally stabbing the 18-year-old Virginia transplant on Dec. 11, when he was 14. At the time, Weaver and two others had ventured into the Manhattan park with the plan of robbing people, according to court papers released at the time.

Blake Satterfield will be a third generation coach at Trousdale County. Dad Clint won five state titles. Grandfather Jim Satterfield won one.
A familiar name has taken over the storied Trousdale County football program.
Blake Satterfield was named the next Yellow Jackets football coach, replacing Brad Waggoner, who resigned last month for a head coaching position at Elbert County in Georgia.
Satterfield is the son of former coach Clint Satterfield, who won five state championships at the school before being named the Trousdale County director of schools.
And Blake's grandfather Jim Satterfield also won a state championship and had three runner-up finishes.
"This is a place with rich tradition and where my grandfather and father both are TSSAA hall of famers," said Blake, 29. "This is a great opportunity for me. There are great kids here and good athletes."
Blake was the team's defensive coordinator last season.
Blake graduated from Trousdale County in 2005 and was part of his dad's last state title. He went on to play at Sewanee.
Blake realizes there is a challenge in taking over the program where his father and grandfather won state titles.
"That's a lot to live up to," Blake said. "My whole life I've had to live up to that challenge.
"My brother played ahead of me here and he went to Sewanee."
Clint said he hired who he thought was the best person for the job.
"I've always tried in my position to do what's right for the kids," he said. "I've always tried to be student-centered.
"I think I was with this decision as well. I gave them the best I've got. I gave them my son."


The goal of Striking a Chord: Instruments of Healing is to educate the general public, policy makers, family members, and medical and social service professionals about the needs of veterans with PTSD and to combat the stigmas that prevent soldiers and veterans from seeking help and give them realistic hope that they can heal.

Well, the Tuesday "old farts" league matches are off and running. Five members showed up at 9:00 am yesterday to shoot. We gathered the needed targets, blocks, clamps, and strings to set up 5 lanes and each person set up one lane however they wanted.
We shot all 5 lanes once for a 20-shot match, then removed the near targets and altered the distances to the far targets, then shot these remaining 5 targets twice each standing.
It was a relaxing time and we took frequent breaks to chit chat about this, that, or something else. It is good to be retired! Of course, this can be attended by anyone, you don't have to be retired to shoot. Just don't get caught skipping work…..LOL.
The day was nice; blues skies, brilliant sunshine and low winds initially. Shooting from under the canopy was definitely enjoyable. Weather was forecast as having 5 to 10 mph winds increasing to 20 mph as the day went on. The winds became a little squirrely after shifting from a constant right to left direction.
As you can see, Doug and Mike were showing off on the sitting stage, but Ben outshot both of them when standing. I was shooting my springer, Miss Diana, and was clean through my first three lanes. Then I missed 4 shots in a row due to over-rotation of the elevation turret. It was all over after that….LOL. All in all, it was a good time that we will do again next week.
Ben Avery shooting facility (BASF) is closed to the public on Mondays and Tuesdays, however any of the user groups can schedule an activity on Tuesday. Wednesday through Friday the ranges are open to the public with the specialty ranges available to those with a "yellow card". Weekends are reserved for user groups with scheduled matches.
So, we got a show of hands at the last match and put in a request for Tuesdays in April and May. We now have the remaining Tuesdays in April scheduled and all 4 Tuesdays in May to shoot. We are still determining a format and if we want to do anything with awards as such. Weekly bragging rights seem to be the order of the day. Who cares?, we are here to have fun.
Nope, no pictures. You know what these gnarly old dudes look like anyway. If you want to join us, come out next Tuesday.

Aïn Tarek est une commune de la wilaya de Relizane dans la région du Ouarsenis en Algérie.

Géographie

Aïn Tarek est situé à  au sud de la commune de Oued Rhiou sur la route nationale 90 et à  à l'est de la ville de Relizane.

Histoire
La population de cette région est arabe, ayant conservé des mœurs et des institutions très anciennes, et qui compte en son sein plusieurs fractions. Ces fractions dépendent administrativement de plusieurs communes relevant de plusieurs wilayas (Relizane – Tissemsilt – Tiaret).

Époque coloniale française
Occupé par les colons Français en 1840 pour commander la vallée de l'Oued Rhiou et protéger la plaine du Bas-Chelif, ce lieu a une assez grande importance stratégique. Les Beni-Ouragh de la région ont prêté allégeance à l'Émir Abdelkader ; ils résistèrent à l'armée française et prennent une part active à la révolte.

La région est incorporée dans la commune mixte d'Ammi Moussa créée en 1880 et les premiers colons européens s'installèrent. Au début du , ces colons édifièrent quelques maisons et lui donnèrent le nom de Guillaumet en l'honneur du peintre et orientaliste Gustave Guillaumet.

Époque de l'Algérie indépendante
Le territoire de la commune était au carrefour des territoires de trois tribus: les Meknassas, les Merioua et les Chkala. En 1963, il fut renommé Merioua du nom de la tribu la plus plus proche; puis en 1968, Ain El Hammam du nom d'une source d'eau proche.

En 1972, on lui donna le nom de Aïn Tarek en l'honneur du militant indépendantiste : Abd al-Rāḥmān Kerzāzī (connu sous le nom de guerre: Sī Tārek), mort au combat durant la Guerre d'Algérie, le 19 MAI 1959.

Lors du découpage administratif de 1984, le territoire d'Ain Tarek est amputé de Had Echkalla qui accède au rang de commune.

Ptolemaic Dynasty
by Donald L. Wasson
Available in other languages: Spanish
Bust of Ptolemy I
Osama Shukir Muhammed Amin (Copyright)
The Ptolemaic dynasty controlled Egypt for almost three centuries (305 – 30 BCE), eventually falling to the Romans. Oddly, while they ruled Egypt, they never became Egyptian. Instead, they isolated themselves in the capital city of Alexandria, a city envisioned by Alexander the Great. The city was Greek both in language and practice. There were no marriages with outsiders; brother married sister or uncle married niece. The last Ptolemaic queen, Cleopatra VII (l. c. 69-30 BCE), remained Macedonian but spoke Egyptian as well as other languages. Except for the first two Ptolemaic pharaohs, Ptolemy I and his son Ptolemy II, most of the family was fairly inept and, in the end, only maintained authority with the assistance of Rome.
A Greek Family of Egyptian Pharaohs
One of the unique and often misunderstood aspects of the Ptolemaic dynasty is how and why it never became Egyptian. The Ptolemys coexisted as both Egyptian pharaohs as well as Greek monarchs. In every respect they remained completely Greek, both in their language and traditions. This unique characteristic was maintained through intermarriage; most often these marriages were either between brother and sister or even uncle and niece. This inbreeding was intended to stabilize the family; wealth and power were consolidated. Although it was considered by many an Egyptian and not Greek occurrence – the mother goddess Isis married her brother Osiris – these sibling marriages were justified or at least made more acceptable by referencing tales from Greek mythology in which the gods intermarried; Cronus had married his sister Rhea while Zeus had married Hera.
The Ptolemys coexisted as both Egyptian pharaohs as well as Greek monarchs. They remained completely Greek, both in their language & traditions.
Of the fifteen Ptolemaic marriages, ten were between brother and sister while two were with a niece or cousin. This meant that even Cleopatra VII, the last Ptolemy to rule Egypt and the subject of playwrights, poets, and movies, was not Egyptian but Macedonian. According to one historian, she was a descendant of such great Greek queens as Olympias, the overly-possessive mother of Alexander the Great.
However, in her defense, Cleopatra was the only Ptolemy to learn to speak Egyptian and make any effort to know the Egyptian people. Of course, this inbreeding was less than ideal; jealousy was rampant and conspiracies were common. Ptolemy IV supposedly murdered his uncle, brother, and mother, while Ptolemy VIII killed his fourteen-year-old son and chopped him into pieces.

Ptolemy I Soter
The sudden death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE brought chaos and confusion to his vast empire, for he died without naming an heir or successor, saying instead that the empire was left 'to the best.' Those commanders who had faithfully followed him from Macedon across the desert sands of western Asia were left to decide for themselves the fate of the kingdom. Some wanted to wait until the birth of Roxanne and Alexander's son, the future Alexander IV, while others chose a more immediate and self-serving remedy: to simply divide it among themselves. The final decision would bring decades of war and devastation. The vast territory was split among the most loyal of Alexander's generals: Antigonus I the One-Eyed, Eumenes, Lysimachus, Antipater and lastly, Ptolemy, the 'most enterprising' of Alexander's commanders.

Ptolemy I
Mark Cartwright (CC BY-NC-SA)
Ptolemy I Soter (Savior) (366 – 282 BCE) was a Macedonian nobleman and, according to most sources, the son of Lagos and Arsinoe. He had been a childhood friend of Alexander, his official taster, bodyguard, and even possibly a relative; rumors abound that he was the illegitimate son of Philip II, Alexander's father. After the king's death, he had led the campaign to divide the empire among the leading generals and in the Partition of Babylon, and to his delight, he received the land he had always craved, Egypt. In Ptolemy's eyes, Egypt was the ideal land, rich in resources.
After years of oppression under the Persians, the people of Egypt had welcomed Alexander and his conquering army. The Persian conquerors had been intolerant of the Egyptian customs and religion. Alexander was far more tolerant, even embracing their gods, praying at their temples. He had even built a temple to honor the Egyptian mother goddess Isis. However, in Egypt Ptolemy saw vast potential, albeit selfishly. There was wealth beyond measure, largely dependent on agricultural production; its borders were easy to defend with Libya lying to the west and Arabia to the east (he was wise not to trust his fellow commanders); and it was friendly to his home of Macedon.
Unfortunately, while the partition may have granted Egypt to Ptolemy, there were some who did not trust the cagey commander, namely Perdiccas, the self-appointed successor to Alexander. So Cleomenes of Naucratis, who had been named the Egyptian finance minister by Alexander, was appointed by Perdiccas as an adjunct or hyparchos to watch (or spy) on Ptolemy. Realizing Perdiccas' ploy, Ptolemy knew he had to free himself of Cleomenes, so he accused the unwary minister of 'fiscal malfeasance' - not a completely trumped-up charge - and had him executed. With Cleomenes gone, he could now rule alone without anyone watching over his shoulder, and in doing so, he would establish a dynasty that would last for almost three centuries until the time of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra VII. During Ptolemy's four-decade rule of Egypt, he would put the country on sound economic and administrative footing.
After the death of Cleomenes, Ptolemy I quickly and firmly began to establish himself in Egypt. His sole purpose was to make Egypt great again. Reluctantly, however, he became involved in the ongoing Wars of the Successors (the destructive battles between Alexander the Great's generals). While Ptolemy I did not intentionally seek territory outside Egypt, he would, however, take advantage of an occasion if it arose and he would occupy the island of Cyprus in c. 318 BCE. Another opportunity found him fighting a Spartan named Thribon who had seized the city of Cyrene on the North Africa coast. After a quick, decisive victory, he turned the fallen conqueror over to the city who promptly executed him. Unfortunately, Ptolemy could not avoid some involvement with the other commanders, and he gave refuge to Seleucus and later supported Rhodes against the invading forces of Demetrius the Besieger, son of Antigonus.
Family Tree of the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt (305-30 BCE)
Still, there was his ongoing rivalry with Perdiccas. The hostility did not subside when Ptolemy stole Alexander's body as it was being transported to a newly built tomb in Macedon. As the king's chiliarch, Perdiccas had established himself securely after Alexander's death, always hoping to reunite the empire. He possessed the signet ring as well as the king's body, preparing to return it to Macedon. However, at Damascus the body inexplicably disappeared. Ptolemy I had stolen and taken the body to Memphis and then to Alexandria where the golden sarcophagus was displayed in the center of the city. Perdiccas, to say the least, was outraged. However, to those in Egypt the legitimacy of the Ptolemaic dynasty lay in its connection to the fallen king. Even in death, he played a major role in both the Egyptian and Ptolemaic imagination. The theft of Alexander was too much for Perdiccas. The long disagreement finally ended in war (322 – 321 BCE). He stepped up his military assault on the Ptolemaic pharaoh, but after three failed attempts to cross the Nile into Egypt and the loss of over two thousand soldiers, his army had had enough and executed him. There were few if any tears among the other commanders for Perdiccas had not been very popular.
Ptolemy II Philadelphus
Ptolemy I died in 282 BCE, and as his successor he named his son Ptolemy II Philadelphus (Sister-loving) (308 – 246 BCE). The younger Ptolemy had served as co-regent with his father since 285 BCE. Ptolemy II married the daughter of the Thracian regent/king Lysimachus, Arsinoe I. For alliance purposes, after the death of his first wife, Lysimachus had chosen to marry Arsinoe II, the daughter of Ptolemy I and his mistress Berenice, around 300 BCE. It was a marriage he would regret. For reasons unknown – probably to secure the throne of Thrace for her own son – Arsinoe II convinced her husband to kill his oldest son (by his first marriage) and heir on the trumped-up charges of treason. The murder of the popular young commander caused uproar among many of his fellow officers.
After the death of Lysimachus, Ptolemy would marry his sister (and the king's widow) Arsinoe II. Unlike many of his successors, Ptolemy II expanded Egypt with the reclaiming of Cyrene (the city had declared independence from Egypt) and acquisitions in Asia Minor and Syria. He fought two wars – the Syrian Wars – against Antiochus I and Antiochus II (260 – 252 BCE) and would marry his daughter Berenice to Antiochus II. Unfortunately, he also fought and failed in the Chremonidean War against Macedon (267 – 261 BCE). In Egypt, he established trading posts along the Red Sea, completed construction on the Pharos, and enlarged the library and museum. To honor his parents he established a new festival, the Ptolemaeia.

Syrian Wars
Apparently, Ptolemy II was one the last truly great pharaohs of Egypt. Many of those who followed failed to strengthen Egypt both internally and externally. Jealousy and in-fighting were common. Upon the death of his father in 246 BCE, Ptolemy III Euergetes (Benefactor) (284 – 221 BCE) came to the throne. He married Berenice II from the Greek city of Cyrene. Among their six children were Ptolemy IV and a princess also named Berenice.
The princess' sudden death brought about the Canopus Decree (238 BCE) which, among other proclamations, honored her as a goddess. One interesting suggestion made in the decree was for a new calendar, one that included 365 days with one additional day every four years, but it was not adopted. In 246 BCE Ptolemy III invaded Syria to support his sister's husband Antiochus II in the Third Syrian War against Seleucus II but only acquired towns in Syria and Asia Minor.
His successor and son Ptolemy IV Philopator (Father-loving) (244 – 205 BCE) came to the Egyptian throne in 221 BCE. Keeping with family tradition, he married his sister Arsinoe III in 217 BCE. He gained a small degree of success in the Fourth Syrian War (219 – 217 BCE) against Antiochus III. However, largely ineffective, his only other accomplishment was the building of the Sema, a tomb to honor both Alexander and the Ptolemys. Unfortunately, he and his wife were both murdered in a palace coup in 205 BCE.
Ptolemy V
Ptolemy V Epiphanes (Made-Manifest) (210 – 180 BCE) was the son of Ptolemy IV and Arsinoe III and due to the sudden death of his parents inherited the throne as a small child. He married the Seleucid princess Cleopatra I in 193 BCE. Unfortunately, war and revolt by Seleucid and Macedonian kings with hopes to seize Egyptian lands followed his ascension. Following the Battle of Panium in 200 BCE Egypt lost valuable territory in the Aegean and Asia Minor, including Palestine. In 206 BCE dissidence arose in the Egyptian city of Thebes, and it would remain outside Ptolemaic control for twenty years.
Ptolemy V's successor Ptolemy VI Philometor (Mother-Loving) began his reign, like his father, as a small child, serving with his mother until her unexpected death in 176 BCE. Despite having serious troubles with his brother, the future Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II (Benefactor), he married his sister Cleopatra II and began his tumultuous reign. Egypt was invaded twice (169 – 164 BCE) by Antiochus IV; his army even approached the city of Alexandria. With the assistance of Rome, Ptolemy VI regained nominal control of Egypt, but his reign - ruling with his brother and wife - remained full of unrest. In 163 BCE his brother and he finally reached a compromise whereby Ptolemy VI acquired Egypt while Ptolemy VIII ruled Cyrene. In 145 BCE Ptolemy VI died in battle in Syria.
Little is known of the reign or person known as Ptolemy VII or if indeed he ever really reigned, but Ptolemy VIII, the younger brother of Ptolemy VI, stepped onto the throne in 145 BCE. In true Ptolemaic fashion, he married his brother's widow, Cleopatra II, only to replace her with her daughter, his niece, Cleopatra III. A civil war ravaged Egypt lasting from 132 to 124 BCE; it especially devastated the capital city of Alexandria, which happened to hate Ptolemy VIII. Actually, this was not uncommon for there was little love if ever between the city's citizens and the royal family. This intense loathing brought about extreme persecution and expulsion for the inhabitants of the city. Finally, an amnesty was reached in 118 BCE.
Ptolemaic King
Ptolemy VIII was succeeded by his eldest son in 116 BCE. Ptolemy IX Soter II (Savior) (142 – 80 BCE) was also known as Lathyrus (Chickpea). Like many of his predecessors, he would marry two of his sisters, Cleopatra IV, mother of Berenice IV, and Cleopatra V Serene who gave him two sons. He ruled jointly with his mother Cleopatra III until 107 BCE when he fled to Cyprus after being overthrown by his brother. He regained the throne in 88 BCE and ruled until his death in 80 BCE.
The Rise of Rome
The next few pharaohs made little impact if any on Egypt, and for the first time, a rising power in the west made a major impact, Rome. Ptolemy X Alexander I (140 – 88 BCE) was the younger brother of Ptolemy IX and had served as governor of Cyprus until his mother brought him to Egypt in 107 BCE, replacing his brother. In 101 BCE he supposedly murdered his mother Cleopatra IV. He then married the daughter of Cleopatra V Serene (his niece), Berenice III. He left Egypt after being expelled in 88 BCE only to be lost at sea. He was succeeded briefly by his youngest son Ptolemy XI Alexander II (100 – 80 BCE). After awarding Egypt and Cyprus to Rome, Ptolemy XI was placed on the throne by the Roman general Cornelius Sulla and ruled jointly with his step-mother Cleopatra Berenice until he murdered her. Unfortunately, he was then himself murdered by the Alexandrians.
Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos (also known as Auletes) was another son of Ptolemy IX succeeding Ptolemy XI in 80 BCE. He married his sister Cleopatra Tryphaena. Unfortunately, his close relationship with Rome caused him to be despised by the Alexandrians and expelled in 58 BCE. However, he regained the throne with the assistance of the Syrian governor Gabinius and was only able to remain through bribes and his ties to Rome as the Roman Senate actually distrusted him.

The next pharaoh Ptolemy XIII (63 – 47 BCE) was the brother and husband of the infamous Cleopatra VII. His time on the throne was short-lived. He had joined unsuccessfully with his sister Arsinoe in a civil war, choosing to oppose both Julius Caesar and Cleopatra in a fight for the throne. Initially, he had expected to gain favor with Caesar when he killed the Roman general Pompey, who had sought refuge in Egypt and presented the severed head to Caesar. However, the Roman commander grew irate because he wanted to kill Pompey himself. Ptolemy XIII's army was defeated after an intense battle, and he drowned in the Nile River when his boat overturned. Arsinoe was taken to Rome in chains (later to be released).
Following Ptolemy XIII was another brother Ptolemy XIV (59 – 44 BCE) who had served briefly as governor of Cyprus and later married his sister (on the wishes of Caesar), ruling until his abrupt death possibly caused by poisoning on the orders of his big sister.
The Last Ptolemaic Pharaoh Cleopatra
Lastly, the final pharaoh of Egypt was Cleopatra VII who is known to history as simply Cleopatra. She ruled Egypt for 22 years, controlling much of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Like many of the women of her era, she was highly educated, being groomed for the throne by her father Ptolemy XII in the traditional Greek (Hellenistic) manner. She endeared herself to the Egyptian people, participating in many Egyptian festivals and ceremonies as well as being the only Ptolemy to learn the Egyptian language besides speaking Hebrew, Ethiopian, and other dialects.

To secure the throne after defeating her brothers and sister, she realized she had to remain friendly with Rome. Her relationship with Julius Caesar has been the subject of the dramatists and poets for centuries. With the death of Caesar and the balance of power in Rome in question, she sided, unfortunately, with the Roman general Mark Antony, only to lose it all at the Battle of Actium. Regrettably, she failed to find compassion in Octavian, the future Emperor Augustus, and committed suicide. Her son by Caesar, Caesarion (Ptolemy XV), was put to death by Octavian. Her other children, Alexander Helos, Cleopatra Serene, and Ptolemy Philadelphus were younger and were brought to Rome to be raised by Octavian's wife. As with the rest of the Mediterranean - described once as a Roman lake - Egypt submitted to Roman rule and the power of the Ptolemys ended.
Hellenization & Alexandria
One of the most significant features of Ptolemaic rule was its policy of Hellenization, integrating Greek language and culture into Egyptian daily life. There was no attempt to become assimilated into Egyptian civilization. One of Ptolemy I's first moves was to relocate the center of government from its traditional location at Memphis - it would remain the religious center - to the newly built city of Alexandria.
Alexandria had a more strategic location, much closer to both the Mediterranean Sea and Greece. Because of this move, Alexandria grew into more of a Greek rather than Egyptian city. In fact, the Ptolemys would rarely leave the city and then only to take a pleasure cruise down the Nile. As with much of the former Alexandrian empire, Greek would become the language of government and commerce.
Ptolemy I also established Alexandria as the intellectual center of the Mediterranean when he built a massive library and museum there. While the museum provided seating for quiet reflection, the library amassed a collection of thousands of papyrus scrolls, attracting men of philosophy, history, literature, and science from all over the Mediterranean for decades to come. Ptolemy I's advisor on the project was Demetrius of Phaleron, a graduate of Aristotle's Lyceum in Athens; the library truly became a center of Hellenistic culture. Unfortunately, the library and its contents were destroyed in a series of fires during its years under Roman control.
In the city's harbor, Ptolemy began the construction of the Pharos, a massive lighthouse (to be completed by his son Ptolemy II). This unique lighthouse was an immense structure of three stories. Its beacon was visible for miles and was lit both day and night, eventually becoming one of seven wonders of the ancient world. Aside from Alexandria, another city, less glamorous, was built in Upper Egypt: Ptolemais was founded as a center for the influx of newly arrived Greek residents.

While it may appear that Ptolemy I intended to transform Egypt into another Greece, in many ways he still respected the Egyptian people and recognized the importance of religion and tradition to their society. Both he and his successors supported the many local cults. To keep peace with the temple priests, he restored numerous religious objects stolen by the Persians. However, while the old Egyptian gods were respected – one did not want to anger the gods – two new cults arose: the first was dedicated to Alexander the Great, which for the Greek population served as a way to express their continued loyalty to the Ptolemys. A second cult, which never gained popularity, was devoted to the god of healing Serapis. Locally, the temple priests remained as a part of the ruling class – another test of their allegiance to the Ptolemys.
Lastly, while the capital may have been moved, the basic administrative structure was retained, although many of the Egyptian scribes had difficulty writing in Greek. Egypt had a closely controlled economy; much of the land was royal land and permission was needed to fell a tree or even to breed pigs. Record keeping was important, all land was surveyed and livestock inventoried. Of course, since Egypt had an economy based on agriculture, taxes based on the census and land surveys were essential. Under Cleopatra VII there was a salt tax, a dike tax, and even a pasture tax. Fishermen even had to relinquish twenty-five percent of their catch.

The Redemption of Tyrone Prothro
Former Alabama receiver Tyrone Prothro is known for two things: a remarkable catch against Southern Miss and a gruesome injury against Florida that ended his career. Now he's giving back to the game by investing in kids at a high school in Alabama.
by Nick Norris
Nearly 14 years have passed since "The Catch," but Tyrone Prothro still can't totally explain how it happened. Prior to that famous play, Southern Miss had Alabama on the ropes 21-10 as the second quarter's final moments ticked away, and the Tide was in dire need of a momentum shift.
It was September 10, 2005, at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Tide crowd wasn't pleased with what it had seen so far, but had no clue it was about to witness history. On fourth-and-13 on USM's 49 with only 29 seconds until halftime, coach Mike Shula decided to go for it. Of course, he wanted the ball to find its way into the hands of his most trusted receiver.
"The play call we had kind of put a couple of us on 1-on-1s," Prothro explained, "and basically left me alone with a safety. Brodie [Croyle] just threw it up and gave me an opportunity to make a play. So, I just put my hands up, basically the same way I would have if nobody was standing there. And the defensive back just happened to be standing there in between my hands."
Golden Eagle safety Jasper Faulk did happen to be standing there, unaware he was about to be on the wrong side of history. But his presence didn't stop Prothro from being Prothro. No. 4 made an acrobatic play when he reached around the back of Faulk to secure the iconic, 42-yard catch, trapping Faulk in a bear hug as the two rolled into the end zone.
"It was just one of those plays you can't fully explain," Prothro said. "It just happened. And after it happened, I just looked back and thought 'how did that happen?'"
The much-needed reception led to a touchdown on the next play and helped the Tide come back to defeat Southern Miss 30-21. To this day, you can find a Daniel Moore painting of "The Catch" in just about every barbecue joint and Tide fan's office in the state. Prothro was awarded "Best Play" at the 2006 ESPY Awards and the Pontiac Game Changing Award of the Year.
But unfortunately, Prothro's world would soon come crashing down around him.
A few games later, a 4-0 Alabama welcomed No. 5 Florida to Tuscaloosa. The Gators were an overwhelming favorite, but the Tide couldn't be intimidated.
"I could tell when I woke up that morning that there was just something special about that day," Prothro recalled with a humble smile. "As the game unfolded, it unfolded like we thought it would. We didn't have any doubts. We knew what we could do offensively and defensively. It was just a matter of going out and executing."
With 5 receptions for 134 yards, two touchdowns, and a 63-yard punt return that was nullified by a penalty, Prothro was having the game of his life.
"I kind of felt like it was my coming out party," Prothro said.
The Gators could not get anything going offensively and struggled defensively to stop the explosive Tide. Bryant-Denny was rocking, the loudest crowd Prothro claims he ever heard.
Then, with 8:53 left in the game, a terrible silence fell across the Capstone.
On fourth-and-5 with a 31-3 lead, the Tide elected to take a shot at the end zone.
"What a lot of people probably don't realize," Prothro explained, "is that was probably our starters' last play of that game. We took a timeout to figure out if we were going to kick a field goal or go for it. We made the decision to go for it. The play was nothing unusual. I had jumped up like that hundreds of times before, but it just so happened to be on that play the injury happened."
The ball spiraled just above Prothro. With a leap into the end zone, he seemingly caught it for what was sure to be another touchdown. But as he landed, his left leg snapped in what is considered one of the most gruesome injuries in sports history. The ball fell out of his hands. And the extraordinary win was forever scarred by a horrific moment.
Fingers immediately pointed at Shula, with critics claiming Prothro and other starters should have been pulled before the play since the Tide was leading by four touchdowns that late in the game. But Prothro disagrees and still defends his former coach's decision.
"Coach Shula was a great coach to me, and he's a great man," Prothro said. "I can call him if I ever need help with anything, and he'll answer. So, when I hear people blame him, it kind of ticks me off. Because being an athlete and realizing the magnitude of that game and the atmosphere with it, you don't want to come out of that game. I just feel like none of that blame is necessary because it's just one of those things that happens, and I'm a firm believer that God has a plan for everybody."
This belief in God's plan has helped Prothro grow as a person and kept him grounded despite never being able to play another down of football. After 14 years, 12 surgeries, and plenty of soul searching, Prothro now looks back at the career-ending injury as a blessing in disguise. Though he may not have had a glamorous life in the NFL, Prothro has everything he needs in Tuscaloosa, where he still lives.
"In September, I will have been married for three years," said Prothro. "I have a 5-year-old and another on the way. So, I just try every day to be the best father and man I can be to my family. I want to be the best I can be no matter what I'm doing. Whether its coaching or bagging groceries at a store or taking orders at a restaurant, I want to be the best Tyrone I can be. I will work my fingers to the bone so that my kids and my wife never have to struggle."
Hopefully, though, Prothro will get to keep the skin on his fingers at Jasper High School, where he now coaches receivers. He's thankful for the job he has, even if he must trek more than an hour each morning to work.
"Jasper has been behind me since Day One," Prothro proudly explained. "The love and support I've been shown by the community, the superintendent, the school board, the coaching staff, has all been tremendous. It's not one of those situations where a school just needs to hire another coach and takes whoever they can get. They want me here, and they want to keep me here. Me and my family feel blessed knowing I'm somewhere I'm wanted."
These days, you can catch Prothro in the Jasper High field house, coaching up kids on football and life. He finds that the two go hand-in-hand.
"The reason I coach is to influence kids," Prothro said. "I use my example to coach these players up to play the game the right way, with heart. A lot of these kids grew up in single-parent homes like I did, so I share my experiences with them and help lead them on the right path by teaching them about hard work and dedication and what the benefits of that can be."
Perhaps no one better understands the importance of hard work and dedication than Prothro. Though he will always be remembered as an Alabama great on the field, there is much more to the man than just "The Catch" and the injury off it. The people who know him know he is a humble and kind-hearted man who would do just about anything for anyone.
"I guess I'm just the type of person that will always try to be humble and keep God first in everything I do," Prothro said, "because I know who got me to where I am. I didn't make it to the league, but I live a pretty good life. That's all anyone can ask for."
If there's one thing Prothro wants the world to take away from his story, it's that the obstacles life throws at you are all for a reason. Adversity will make you stronger, smarter, and more grateful for what you already have.
"There's nothing too big for God," Prothro said. "You can always overcome whatever you're going through. There's always a way."
It's fair to say that Prothro is living proof of that. H&A
