Researchers at Tufts University's school of veterinary medicine have developed two quality of life surveys for dogs and cats suffering from heart disease. Known as "FETCH" (Functional Evaluation of Cardiac Health) and "CATCH" (Cats' Assessment Tool for Cardiac Health), the surveys ask owners to rank aspects of their dog's or cat's health on a scale of 0 to 5. Veterinarians are then able to assess the animal's quality of life, which may inform decisions about treatment, nutrition, or even euthanasia.
If you have a dog or cat that has been diagnosed with heart disease, your veterinarian can contact the veterinarians at Tufts for a copy of the survey and information about how to interpret the results. In the meantime, here is some basic information about heart disease in pets.
Heart disease in animals is either congenital (they are born with it) or acquired (not present at birth but developing at a later date). Congenital disease is usually seen in younger animals, whereas acquired heart disease is generally diagnosed in older dogs and cats. Small breed dogs often develop leaky heart valves due to degenerative changes. Cats and large breed dogs are more likely to develop heart muscle dysfunction. Heart disease is often diagnosed with X-rays, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart).
Congestive heart failure, a consequence of many types of heart disease, is usually a result of the heart's inability to pump blood forward in a normal manner. Stress is placed on the heart muscle and valves and a back-up of blood may occur in the lungs and/or liver resulting in abnormal fluid accumulations in the chest or abdomen.
There are many treatments available for heart disease, each one focusing on the underlying cause of the disease. Medications, surgery, and other therapies (e.g., pacemakers) may be directed at correcting an irregular heartbeat, increasing the amount of blood pumped by the heart with each beat, or decreasing the amount of fluid retained in the lungs and abdomen. A diet low in salt can also be an important component of therapy for congestive heart failure, as it helps minimize fluid retention in the body.
What symptoms can present as heart disease progresses?
*It should be noted that most animals will instinctually hide their pain. Vocalization of any sort that is out of the ordinary for your pet may indicate that his pain and anxiety has become too much for him to bear. If your pet vocalizes due to pain or anxiety, please consult with your tending veterinarian immediately.
What is the prognosis for heart disease?
If caught early enough, pets with heart disease can be treated and often will live for many years after their diagnosis. There are times, however, that the disease is so severe and function is so compromised that a pet's quality of life is no longer satisfactory. A personalized treatment plan is important to slow the progression of heart disease. Talk to your veterinarian regarding the best treatment protocol for your pet.

The Welshie is an active dog and does best when able to get a fair amount of exercise, playing around the garden or free running in the park. Youngsters are an asset in this regard the Welshie enjoys romps and games such as chase and fetch. Otherwise, it will be content to spend a lot of its time simply in human company. Its typical spaniel coat is easy to look after, with regular brushing the main requirement and bathing only when necessary.
The Welsh Springer Spaniel is a relatively easycare, friendly, affectionate, sensible, sturdy, small/medium dog capable of fitting in just about anywhere, provided that he is given enough exercise and allowed to be part of the family. Given plenty of human contact and affection, he will repay it over and over.
Not many people can go past a good Welshie. Not only do they make wonderful companions they are also intelligent, affectionate and easy to train!
This very attractive cousin of the better-known English Springer Spaniel differs mainly in that it stands two or three centimetres shorter, and comes only in a glorious red and white jacket, rather than the latters black and white or liver and white colour schemes. As the name suggests, this version of the hunting spaniel was developed in Wales, has existed for centuries and is still very much a favourite there today. And why not? The Welshie, as it is generally known, is a little less boisterous than the English Springer, but every bit as intelligent, affectionate, good with children and as easy to train or to look after.
A handy small/medium size, the Welshie stands about 47-48cm at the shoulder and averages around 16-20kg in weight. A robust, active sporting dog and typical spaniel, this breed responds well to training, loves a game, and is always ready for a run or walk. Bred to live with and work for its master, the Welshie is a true family dog who is always ready to please.

Feast of Charles Todd Quintard (February 16) 4 comments

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CHARLES TODD QUINTARD (DECEMBER 22, 1824-FEBRUARY 16, 1898)
Episcopal Bishop of Tennessee
Bishop Charles Todd Quintard comes to this, A Great Cloud of Witnesses: An Ecumenical Calendar of Saints' Days and Holy Days, via The Episcopal Church. Quintard is one of many saints listed in the side calendar (Holy Women, Holy Men: Celebrating the Saints, 2010; and A Great Cloud of Witnesses: A Calendar of Commemorations, 2016), but not the main calendar (Lesser Feasts and Fasts, most recently revised in 2018, and in 2006, immediately prior to that). Likewise, many saints listed in Lesser Feasts and Fasts are not in the side calendar. Episcopal hagiography is not a simple matter.
Charles Todd Quintard, son of Dr. Isaac Quintard, M.D., was a physician prior to entering ordained ministry. He, born in Stamfort, Connecticut, on December 22, 1824, descended from Huguenots. Quintard studied at University Medical Center, New York University, and Bellevue Hospital prior to becoming an M.D. in 1847. Our saint, a physician in Athens, Georgia, and a parishioner at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, from 1848 to 1851, moved to Memphis, Tennessee, to each at Memphis Medical College. Our saint, with the support of James Hervey Otey, the Bishop of Tennessee, began to study for Holy Orders in 1854. Otey ordained Quintard in 1856.
Quintard was a priest for about nine years before joining the ranks of bishops. He was briefly the Rector of Calvary Episcopal Church, Memphis (1856-1857), then the Rector of the Episcopal Church of the Advent, Nashville (1857f). Our saint, a High Churchman, served as a surgeon and a chaplain in the Confederate Army. He compiled the Confederate Soldiers' Pocket Manual of Devotions (1863) and Balm for the Weary and the Wounded (1864).
Quintard became the Bishop of Tennessee, succeeding the deceased James Hervey Otey, serving from October 1865 to February 1898. He built up the Diocese of Tennessee and The University of the South, founding its School of Theology, as well. The Diocese of Tennessee, Quintard insisted, had to be open to all who came, so he opposed any barriers. Our saint, therefore, opposed pew rentals. Although race-based chattel slavery had been the cornerstone of the Confederacy, as Vice President Alexander Hamilton Stephens had said openly in Savannah, Georgia, in March 1861, the bishop, a former Confederate Army chaplain, opposed racially-segregated congregations. He also established programs to help poor people. Furthermore, Quintard helped to found Hoffman Hall, Fisk University, Nashville, as a seminary for African Americans.
Quintard was in Meridian, Georgia, in McIntosh County and near Darien, for health reasons, when he died on February 16, 1898. He was 73 years old.

With the assurance of God's favor in all things done in obedience to his righteous will, and guided by day and night by the pillars of cloud and fire, let us not pause until we have reached the other and safe side of the stormy and crimson sea. Let freemen and patriots mete out complete and equal justice to all men, and thus prove to mankind the superiority of our Democratic, Republican government.
–Henry Highland Garnet, addressing the United States House of Representatives, February 12, 1865; quoted in G. Scott Cady and Christopher L. Webber, A Year with American Saints (2006), 604
This post began with one name, that of Henry Highland Garnet, which I found in A Year with American Saints (2006). As I took notes, however, I added two wives, a sister-in-law, and her second husband to the post. I have, after all, established emphasizing relationships and influences as a goal of this project, A Great Cloud of Witnesses: An Ecumenical Calendar of Saints' Days and Holy Days.
Julia Williams came from a free African-American family. She, born in Charleston, South Carolina, on July 1, 1811, moved with her family to Boston, Massachusetts, when she was a child. At the age of 21 years, Williams began to study at Prudence Crandall's Female Boarding School (for African Americans), which opened in 1831. After hostility in Canterbury, New Hampshire, forced the school to close, Williams continued her studies at Noyes Academy, Canaan, New Hampshire (extant 1835). There she met Henry Highland Garnet.
Henry Highland Garnet, born a slave, became an abolitionist. He, born in New Market, Maryland, on December 23, 1815, fled with his family in 1824, first to Delaware, then to Pennsylvania. The family had to keep moving, to evade slave-catchers. Eventually, Garnet wound up in New York City, where, from 1826 to 1833, he studied at the African Free School then at Phoenix High School for Colored Youth. Our saint helped to found the abolitionist Garrison Literary and Benevolent Association in 1835. He and Julia Williams were students at Noyes Academy, Canaan, New Hampshire, in 1835. Local racists forced the school to close then destroyed the building. Next, they founded a whites-only school.
Williams and Garnet studied at the Oneida Institute (1827-1843), Whitesboro, New York. Garnet, who graduated in 1839, became a teacher in Troy, New York. He also began to study theology. Williams, having joined the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society in the 1830s, was a delegate to the Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women, New York City, in 1837. Garnet suffered a severe sports-related injury in 1840; he lost one leg, amputated at the hip. He and Williams married in 1841. The couple had three children. Only one child, a daughter, survived to adulthood.
Garnet, the first African-American graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, became a Presbyterian minister. He served at Liberty Street Presbyterian Church, Troy, New York, from 1842 to 1848. He had already become simultaneously revolutionary and conservative, by abolitionist standards. Our saint had, in 1840, helped to found the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society (AFASS), which broke away from the American Anti-Slavery Society (AASS). The AASS, with William Lloyd Garrison as a prominent member, opened leadership positions to women and made the connection between the rights of slaves and the rights of women. The AFASS, however, focused narrowly on slavery and reserved all leadership positions for men. Yet Garnet, an abolitionist journalist since 1842, proved too radical for William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass in one way in 1843. That year, addressing the National Negro Convention, Buffalon, New York, Garnet called for a slave insurrection:
Brethren, arise, arise! Strike for your lives and liberties. Now is the day and the hour. Let every slave throughout the land do this, and the days of slavery are numbered. You cannot be more oppressed than you have been–you cannot suffer greater cruelties than you have already. Rather die freemen than live to be slaves.
Garrison and Douglass persuaded Garnet to to moderate his position.
Garnet's activism continued. By 1849, he openly supported African-American immigration to Mexico, Liberia, or the West Indies. This position led him to found the African Civilization Society in 1858. He, associated with the free produce movement, which favored an economic boycott of slavery, traveled and lectured in the British Isles in 1850-1852. The Garnets were missionaries of The Church of Scotland to Jamaica in 1852-1855; Julia led a female industrial school there. Henry's health required him to leave Jamaica after three years. The couple returned to the United States. Henry worked with Frederick Douglass to recruit African-American soldiers during the Civil War. Garnet, pastor of Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, Washington, D.C., from 1864 to 1866, addressed the U.S. House of Representatives on February 12, 1865, after it passed the Thirteenth Amendment to the federal Constitution. He became the President of Avery College, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (extant 1849-1873), in 1868. Garnet also served as pastor of Shiloh Presbyterian Church, New York City, and favored Cuban independence from Spain.
Julia, who worked with former slaves in Washington, D.C., after the Civil War, died on January 7, 1870. She was 58 years old.
Henry remarried, to Sarah J. Smith Tompkins, in 1879.
Sarah J. Smith and her sister, Susan Maria Smith, made history. Their parents were prosperous farmers, Sylvanus Smith and Ann Eliza Springsteel, of Brooklyn, New York. Sarah debuted on July 31, 1831. Susan followed in March 1847. Sarah's first husband was Samuel Tompkins, who died in 1852. The couple had two children, who died young.
Sarah J. Smith Tompkins became an educator. She taught at the African Free School before becoming the first female, African-American principal in New York City; she led Grammar School Number 4, starting on April 30, 1863.
Susan, a musician and a music educator in the District of Columbia, pursued a career in medicine after one of her brothers died of cholera during an outbreak in Brooklyn. She studied at the New York Medical College for Women in 1867-1869, and graduated as the valedictorian. She became the first African-American female physician in the State of New York and the third in the United States. Our saint practiced medicine in Brooklyn from 1870 to 1895, cofounded the Brooklyn Women's Homeopathic Hospital and Dispensary, and practiced medicine at the Brooklyn Home for Aged Colored People. In 1871, Susan married the Reverend William G. McKinney (d. 1894), a Methodist minister.
Sarah, owner of a seamstress shop in Brooklyn from 1883 to 1911, was also a suffragette. She founded the Equal Suffrage League in Brooklyn in the late 1880s. Starting in 1896, she served as the Superintendent of the National Association of Colored Women.
Henry Highland Garnet, briefly the U.S. Minister to Liberia, received his appointment in late 1881. He, aged 58 years, died in Monrovia, on February 13, 1882.
Theophilus Gould Steward was a minister, an academic, and an activist. He, from free African-American stock, was a child of James Steward and Rebecca Gould. Our saint, born in Gouldtown, New Jersey, on April 17, 1843, became a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1863. He planted churches in Georgia and South Carolina after the Civil War. Our saint, from 1868 a pastor in Macon, Georgia, presided over the construction of a new edifice after the suspicious burning of the first one. He, a graduate of the Episcopal Divinity School, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was active in Haiti, and the eastern United States from 1872 to 1891. Our saint, recipient of a Doctor of Divinity degree from Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, in 1881, joined the United States Army as a chaplain in 1891. He served in the 25th U.S. Colored Cavalry until 1907. Steward spent time in the U.S. West, in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, and in the Philippines after that war. His first wife, Elizabeth Gladden, died ini 1893. The couple had eight children, from 1872 to 1883.
Susan Maria Smith McKinney married Theophilus Gould Steward in 1896. They went to work at Wilberforce University in 1907. Theophilus was a professor of French, history, and logic. Susan was a physician. In 1911, she and her sister, Sarah, attended the Universal Race Congress, New York City. Susan presented a paper, "Colored American Women."
Sarah J. Smith Tompkins Garnet, aged 80 years, died on September 17, 1911.
Susan Maria Smith McKinney Steward, aged 71 years, died on March 17, 1918.
Theophilus Gould Steward, a cofounder (with Alexander Crummell) of the American Negro Academy (1897-1928), died on January 11, 1924. He was 80 years old.
The United States of America is better than it would have been otherwise because these five saints made their contributions to society.

Feast of James Woodrow (January 17) Leave a comment

JAMES WOODROW (MAY 30, 1828-JANUARY 17, 1907)
Southern Presbyterian Minister, Naturalist, and Alleged Heretic
Let the Church show herself the patroness of learning in everything…and let her never be subjected by mistaken friends, to the charge that she fears the light.
–James Woodrow, November 22, 1861; quoted in Ernest Trice Thompson, Presbyterians in the South, Vol. 1, 1607-1861 (1963), 508
Above: Logo of the Presbyterian Church in the United States
James Woodrow, brother-in-law of Joseph Ruggles Wilson (1822-1903) and uncle of President (first of Princeton University then of the United States of America) Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), comes to this, A Great Cloud of Witnesses: An Ecumenical Calendar of Saints' Days and Holy Days, via two authors. For this post I draw from Clayton H. Ramsey's article about Bethany Presbyterian Church, Greene County, Georgia, in the Autumn 2018 issue of Georgia Backroads magazine. I also derive information from the first two volumes of Ernest Trice Thompson's magisterial three-volume work, Presbyterians in the South (1963-1973). I also derive information from Journals of Southern Presbyterian General Assemblies.
James Woodrow, a native of England, spent most of his life in the United States. He, born in Carlisle on May 30, 1828, emigrated with his family as a youth. He graduated from Jefferson College, Washington, Pennsylvania, in 1849. Then he studied under naturalist Louis Agassiz at the Lawrence Scientific School, Harvard. After teaching in Alabama, Woodrow was a professor at Oglethorpe University, Midway, Georgia, from 1853 to 1861. He taught geology, botany, chemistry, and natural philosophy. Our saint also took a few years off to earn graduate degrees at the University of Heidelberg. When he graduated in 1856, he could have become the Chair of Natural Sciences at Heidelberg, had he accepted the offer. Woodrow studied theology after returning to Oglethorpe University. He became a minister in the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. (Old School) on October 15, 1859; the ordination occurred at Bethany Presbyterian Church, Greene County, Georgia.
Columbia Theological Seminary, Columbia, South Carolina, created an endowed professorship, Woodrow's next job, in 1861. Judge John Perkins, of Mississippi, provided the funding for the position, with the intention that the Perkins Professor of Natural Science refute Evolution and prepare seminarians to do the same. Woodrow, who started the job in late 1861, insisted on academic freedom, though. He also carried into the professorship his conviction that God could not contradict himself in the Bible and in science, and that any seeming contradiction between the Bible and science must result from the misinterpretation of scripture. This position left Woodrow, who refused to dismiss rock layers and fossil records, open to accepting Evolution, which he did by 1884.
The Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States of America (PCCSA) formed at First Presbyterian Church, Augusta, Georgia, on December 4, 1861. Wilson became a charter member of the new denomination.
The Civil War disrupted elements of church life in the South. Columbia Theological Seminary closed for most of the conflict. Furthermore, The Southern Presbyterian did not always go to the presses. Woodrow remained busy, though.
He edited The Southern Presbyterian.
He became the Treasurer of the PCCSA's Foreign Mission Committee in 1861.
He became the Treasurer of the PCCSA's Home Mission Committee in 1863.
He taught chemistry at the College of South Carolina.
He managed the Medical and Chemical Confederate Laboratory, which made silver nitrate for wound care.
In December 1865, after Confederate defeat, the PCCSA renamed itself the Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS).
When Columbia Theological Seminary reopened and The Southern Presbyterian resumed publication, Woodrow's roles at them resumed, also. He was one of the more progressive members of his denomination; he favored friendly relations with the "Northern" (actually national) Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. As Woodrow became more accepting of Evolution, he moved in a direction opposite of that of the PCUS. By 1884 his alleged heresy had become so controversial that the seminary closed for two years, reopening in 1886. The seminary board requested in 1884 that Woodrow resign; he refused. The heresy trial, held at Bethany Presbyterian Church, Greene County, Georgia, in 1886, ended in an acquittal. Nevertheless, the seminary board fired our saint on December 8, 1886.
The PCUS General Assemblies of 1886, 1888, 1889, and 1924 passed resolutions taking the position opposite of Professor Woodrow.
Life went on for James Woodrow, who remained prominent in the PCUS. He, the editor of The Southern Presbyterian consistently since 1866, continued in that role until 1893. On the side, he continued to teach at the University of South Carolina, where he had been on faculty since 1869. The seminary board forbade Columbia students to attend his lectures, though. Woodrow went on to serve as the President of the University of South Carolina from 1891 to 1897. Furthermore, he was, for a time, the President of the Central National Bank, Columbia. In 1896, when the Presbytery of Charleston sought to prevent African-American men from becoming ordained ministers, Woodrow sided against the presbytery and with the Synod of South Carolina. The General Assembly supported the position of the synod.
Woodrow retained the ability to create controversy at the end of his life. The General Assembly of 1901 elected him the Moderator for a year. The following year, at the General Assembly, our saint offended many in his sermon; he recognized the Roman Catholic Church as a Christian organization. The General Assembly of 1902 passed a resolution NOT to print his sermon.
Woodrow, ailing in 1906, had surrendered his leadership roles in the church. That year, as he neared death, the Board of Directors of Columbia Theological Seminary passed resolutions praising him for his piety and orthodoxy.
Woodrow, aged 78 years, died in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 17, 1907.
The General Assembly of 1969 affirmed:
Neither Scripture, nor our Confession of Faith, nor our catechisms, teach the creation of man by direct and immediate acts of God as to exclude the possibility of evolution as a scientific theory.
Woodrow would have approved.
Good science should always overrule bad theology.
The Christian Church has a mixed record regarding science, faith, and reason. On the positive side are giants such as James Woodrow, Nicolaus Copernicus, and Galileo Galilei. The Society of Jesus has a venerable tradition of astronomy. One may reach back as far as St. Clement of Alexandria (d. 210/2015), the "Father of Christian Scholarship," who affirmed the value of truth, whether or not of Christian origin. One may also continue that line through his pupil, Origen. When one skips a few centuries, one arrives at St. Albert the Great (d. 1280) and his student, St. Thomas Aquinas, who affirmed the compatibility of faith and reason. On the negative side are figures such as St. Robert Bellarmine (who confronted Galileo and whom I will never add to my Ecumenical Calendar) and William Jennings Bryan (who, likewise, has less probability than a snowball in Hell of joining the ranks at my Ecumenical Calendar).
All this is easy for me to write, for I am unapologetic product of the Northern Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the best of Roman Catholic tradition. My intellectualism and my acceptance of science inform my Christian faith. God is not the author of confusion. Furthermore, God does not deceive us with manufactured fossils and rock layers meant to test our faith. God cannot lie, but human beings are capable of misunderstanding.

GENE MILTON TUCKER (JANUARY 8, 1935-JANUARY 4, 2018)
United Methodist Minister and Biblical Scholar
Gene M. Tucker comes to this, A Great Cloud of Witnesses: An Ecumenical Calendar of Saints' Days and Holy Days, via The New Interpreter's Bible. He wrote the introduction, commentary, and reflections on Isaiah 1-39 for Volume VI (2001) of the set. (Tucker accepted the scholarly consensus that there were three Isaiahs.)
Tucker, from Texas, became a minister and a scholar. Our saint, a son of Raymond H. Tucker and Lorene Tucker, debuted in Albany, Texas, on January 8, 1935. He grew up in West Texas and became an avid outdoorsman as a youth. Throughout his youth, Tucker remained an outdoorsman, enjoying hunting and fishing. Our saint, who graduated from McMurry College, Abilene, Texas, in 1957, was on course to become a minister and a Biblical scholar when he married Charlyne "Charky" Williams that year. Tucker earned his B.D. (1960), M.A. (1961), and Ph.D. (1963) at Yale Divinity School. He, ordained in The Methodist Church (The United Methodist Church since April 23, 1968), commenced on his academic career. Tucker's first position was at the Graduate School of Religion, the University of Southern California, from 1963 to 1966. In 1966-1970 Tucker taught at Duke Divinity School. While there, he served as the President of the Council on Human Relations, a civil rights organization, in Durham, North Carolina.
From 1970 to 1995, Tucker taught at the Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. He edited scholarly works, cowrote a commentary on Joshua (1974), wrote Form Criticism of the Old Testament (1971), and contributed to Preaching the New Common Lectionary (1984-1987) and Preaching Through the Christian Year (1992). Furthermore, our saint served on the translation committee of the New Revised Standard Version (1989) of the Bible. Tucker also taught Sunday School at Briarwood United Methodist Church, Atlanta, for a quarter of a century.
The Tuckers retired to Denver, Colorado, in 1995, to be close to their children. Our saint taught in Australia for a time, focused on theological-ecological concerns, continued to enjoy the outdoors, and wrote a commentary on Genesis (2001). He donated his academic library to the Evangelical Theological Seminary of Puerto Rico in 1911.
Tucker, aged 82 years, died in Denver on January 4, 2018.
O God, you have endowed us with memory, reason, and skill.
We thank you for the faithful legacy of [Gene M. Tucker and all others]
who have dedicated their lives to you and to the intellectual pursuits.
May we, like them, respect your gift of intelligence fully and to your glory.

A FAMILY PROFILE
One name–Edwin McNeill Poteat, Jr.–opened the portals for this post to encompass five saints. I found his name in The Interpreter's Bible. The rest was history.
The family story began, for the purpose of this post, with James Poteat (1807-1889) and Julia Anice McNeill (Poteat) (1833-1910), of Yanceyville, Caswell County, North Carolina. Two of their sons were William Louis Poteat and Edwin McNeill Poteat, Sr.
WILLIAM LOUIS POTEAT (1856-1938)
William, born on October 26, 1856, grew up and became a pioneering educator and biologist. He, having earned his B.A. degree from Wake Forest College, then located in Wake Forest, North Carolina, in 1877, followed up with an M.A,. degree from the same institution in 1889. Between graduation ceremonies he taught biology at Wake Forest College, starting as a tutor then advancing in stages, to full professor. He was the first person in the South to teach biology via the laboratory method instead of the recitation method. William, always a devout Christian of the Southern Baptist variety, caused great controversy by accepting the Theory of Evolution. This did not prevent him from serving as the President of that Southern Baptist college from 1905 to 1927. In 1925, he helped to defeat the proposed state law to forbid the teaching of Evolution in public schools.
On a conventional front, William was also active in the temperance movement.
William married Emma James Purefoy on June 24, 1881. The couple had three children–Louise, Helen, and Hubert.
William, aged 83 years, died on March 12, 1938.
EDWIN MCNEILL POTEAT, SR. (1861-1937)
Edwin, Sr., born on February 6, 1861, also reconciled faith and science. He graduated from Wake Forest College (1881) then the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (1885). Poteat, ordained in 1884, served as pastor of the Wake Forest Baptist Church from 1884 to 1886. He resigned to study psychology and philosophy at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, from 1886 to 1888. While in Baltimore, Edwin, Sr., was the acting pastor of the Lee Street Baptist Church in that city. Then he studied at the University of Berlin during the summer of 1888. Studies at Yale University followed. He was the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, New Haven, Connecticut, from 1888 to 1898. Then Edwin, Sr., was the pastor of Memorial Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from 1898 to 1903. He returned to the South to accept the presidency of Furman University (1903-1918).
Subsequent work entailed living in, at different times, the North, the South, and China. Edwin, Sr., worked as the Executive Secretary of the General Board of Promotion of the Northern Baptist Convention. After spending six years teaching philosophy and ethics at the University of Shanghai, our saint served as the Interim Minister of the First Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia, from 1927 to 1929. Then he was the pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, for two years, followed by a stint (1931-1934) teaching ethics and comparative religion at Mercer University, Macon, Georgia. Finally, in 1934, Edwin, Sr., returned to Furman University to teach ethics.
Edwin, Sr., married twice. On October 24, 1889, he married Harriet Hale Gordon. The couple had seven children: Edwin McNeill Jr., Gordon McNeill, John Robinson, Priscilla Isabella, James Douglass, Clarissa Hale, and Arthur Barron. Harriet Gordon died in 1919. Edwin, Sr., married Harriet Helen Brittingham, a Northern Baptist missionary to China, in that country in 1925.
Edwin, Sr., aged 76 years, died on June 25, 1937.
HUBERT MCNEILL POTEAT, SR. (1886-1958)
Hubert, son of William and Emma, was a scholar, athlete, and musician. He, born in Wake Forest, North Carolina, on December 12, 1886, earned his Bachelor's (1906) and Master's (1908) degrees from Wake Forest College. Between graduation ceremonies he taught Latin at the college. Hubert had been musical from a young age, learning the violin and the organ. He was sufficiently accomplished to perform at his father's inauguration as college president in 1905. Hubert also played sports (such as tennis and eventually golf) at different stages of his life.
Hubert was also a Freemason and a Shriner. He, inducted as a Freemason in 1908, rose to high ranks in both organizations.
Hubert worked on his doctorate at Columbia University, New York, New York, in 1908-1912. He found time to attend plays and operas, as well as to sing in the choir of The Brick Presbyterian Church; William Pierson Merrill (1867-1954) was the pastor at the time. Hubert also performed solos at the Episcopal Church of the Intercession.
Hubert married Essie Moore Morgan on June 26, 1912. The couple had two children: Hubert McNeill Jr. and William Morgan.
Hubert returned to Wake Forest College to stay, from 1912 to 1956. He was Professor of Latin then the Chair of Latin. He also directed the Glee Club from 1912 to 1923. Hubert, the organist of the college for more than four decades, published in the fields of hymnology and Latin literature and philosophy. Hubert also taught at Columbia University during the summers of 1924-1942.
Hubert valued the liberal arts educational model. The humanities, he understood, were vital. Hence he looked on with dismay as many public schools in the South began to de-emphasize the humanities and to emphasize vocational training.
Hubert also had high musical standards. He, who included pieces by Wagner in his organ concerts, dismissed gospel music as
jig tunes.
Hubert insisted that only
consuming fire
could improve them. This strong opinion was consistent with his perfectionism in many matters. Hubert was, for example, a stickler, regrading proper English grammar and usage.
When Wake Forest College moved to Winston-Salem, in 1956, Hubert remained behind in Wake Forest, North Carolina. There he retired, and there he died on January 29, 1958. He was 71 years old.
TWO BROTHERS:
GORDON MCNEILL POTEAT (1891-1986)
EDWIN MCNEILL POTEAT, JR. (1892-1955)
Edwin, Jr., son of Edwin, Sr., and Harriet Gordon, continued in the family legacy of supporting progressive causes. Some of his activities overlapped geographically with those of his older brother, Gordon.
Gordon, born in New Haven, Connecticut, on April 11, 1891, grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, where his father was the President of Furman University. Gordon, who graduated from Furman in 1910, earned his M.A. degree from Wake Forest College, where his uncle, William, was the President. Then Gordon attended and graduated from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Next he spent 1915-1927 in China, first as a missionary in Kaifeng then (1921f) teaching ethics and the New Testament at the University of Shanghai.
Edwin, Jr., born in New Haven on November 20, 1892, became more prominent than his older brother. Edwin, Jr., graduated from Furman (B.A., 1912; M.A., 1913) and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (1916). He was a traveling secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement (1916-1917) then a missionary in Kaifeng (1917-1926) with Gordon (until 1921). In 1921, Edwin, Sr., visited his sons in China. He wound up accepting an offer to teach philosophy and ethics at the University of Shanghai, and remained until 1927. He and Gordon–father and son–were faculty colleagues for six years. Meanwhile, Edwin, Jr., remained at the compound in Kaifeng until revolution forced him to flee in 1926. Then he joined the faculty of Shanghai from 1927 to 1929; he taught ethics and philosophy.
Gordon, back in the United States for a few years (1927-1930), worked as an Educational Secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement from 1927 to 1928. Then he served as the pastor of the City Park Baptist Church, Denver, Colorado, from 1928 to 1930. Next, from 1930 to 1937, Gordon was the representative of the Northern Baptist Convention to the University of Shanghai.
Gordon married Helen Anne Carruthers in 1915. The couple had four children: Anne Rose, Wallace Bagby, Nida, and Priscilla Hale.
Edwin, Jr., back in the United States, worked in churches, in a seminary, and on the public stage. He was pastor of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church, Raleigh, North Carolina, for the first time from 1929 to 1937. Seven years as pastor of Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, Cleveland, Ohio, followed. Then, in 1944, Edwin, Jr., became the President of the Rochester Divinity School, Rochester, New York. Declining health forced him to resign in 1948. Pullen Memorial Baptist Church had a vacancy at the time, and welcomed him back. Our saint died in that job on December 17, 1955, as he prepared to conduct a wedding ceremony.
Edwin, Jr., was not afraid to take controversial positions. He was a pacifist, a supporter of conscientious objectors, and an advocate for civil rights. In 1946, he addressed the the American Association for the Advancement of Science; he was the first minister the organization had invited to speak to it. Furthermore, in 1948, Edwin, Jr., helped to found and became the first President of Protestants and Other Americans United for the Separation of Church and State (now Americans United for the Separation of Church and State). Separation of church and state has long been a Baptist issue, after all.
Edwin, Jr., had strong opinions regarding worship. He made sure in 1950 that the new sanctuary of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church had a split chancel. He also wore a ministerial robe. Edwin, Jr., critical of both Evangelical informality and a fixed liturgy, maintained high standards for hymns and other service music. He agreed with his cousin Hubert. Edwin, Jr., complained about the
banality of the words of modern songs
sung in most Protestant churches in the United States. The critic composed 23 pieces of service music, some of them included in the Northern Baptist/Disciples of Christ joint hymnal, Christian Worship (1941). In 1948, he wrote a hymn, "Eternal God, Whose Reaching Eye," for the first Assembly of the World Council of Churches.
Edwin, Jr., married Wilda Hardman on June 27, 1918. The couple had four children: William Hardman, Harriett Allen, Elizabeth McNeill, and Haley Gordon.
Gordon, author of books about Christian missions in China, became Professor of Social Ethics and Homiletics at Crozer Theological Seminary, Chester, Pennsylvania. I have not been able to learn when he left that position.
Edwin, Jr., wrote 17 books. The genres included sermons, original poetry, and theology. Both he and Gordon wrote for The Interpreter's Bible. Gordon wrote the exposition on James in Volume XII (1957.) Edwin, Jr., wrote the exposition on Psalms 42-89 in Volume IV (1955).
When Gordon wrote for The Interpreter's Bible, he was the pastor of the Tourist Church (the First Congregational Church), Daytona Beach, Florida. That congregation has become the Seabreeze United Church of Christ.
Gordon, aged 95 years, died in Ormond Beach, Florida, in November 1986.
Members of two generations of the Poteat family served God and did not fear controversy in doing so. This post has summarized incompletely the faithfulness of some Poteats. If, however, it has prompted you, O reader, to want to learn more, this post has accomplished my purpose.
Loving God, we thank you for the faithful service of
William Louis Poteat;
Hubert McNeill Poteat;
Edwin McNeill Poteat, Sr.;
Edwin McNeill Poteat, Jr.;
and Gordon McNeill Poteat
in a variety of disciplines, times, and places.
May their examples of fidelity to you inspire us to live boldly in your service.

Feast of F. Bland Tucker (November 20) 2 comments

FRANCIS BLAND TUCKER (NOVEMBER 6, 1895-JANUARY 1, 1984)
Episcopal Priest and Hymnodist
"The Dean of American Hymn Writers"
Feast Day in the Diocese of Georgia = November 19
Father F. Bland Tucker comes to this, my Ecumenical Calendar of Saints' Days and Holy Days, via two Episcopal hymnals and the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia.
Tucker came from a family tree full of Episcopal priests, bishops, and missionaries. He was the youngest of thirteen children of Anna Maria Washington (1851-1927) and Father Beverley Dandridge Tucker (Sr.) (1846-1930), a priest in Norfolk, Virginia, where our saint entered the world on January 6, 1895. Tucker, Sr., went on to become the Bishop Coadjutor of Southern Virginia (1906-1911) then the Bishop of Southern Virginia (1918-1930). One of our saint's elder brothers was Beverley Dandridge Tucker (Jr.) (1882-1969), the Bishop of Ohio (1938-1969). Another elder brother was Henry St. George Tucker (1874-1959), the Bishop Coadjutor of Virginia (1926-1927), the Bishop of Virginia (1927-1943), and the Presiding Bishop of the denomination (1938-1946), preceding the great Henry Knox Sherrill (1890-1980).
Our saint, descended from old Virginia families and raised in The Episcopal Church, became a courageous and reconciling figure in church and society. He, raised on The Book of Common Prayer (1892), his favorite version of the Prayer Book, graduated from the University of Virginia (1914) then Virginia Theological Seminary (1920). Military service during World War I interrupted his theological education. Tucker, ordained to the diaconate in 1918 and the priesthood two years later, married Mary (Polly) Goldsborough Laird (1890-1972). The couple had no children.
Tucker served as the rector of three parishes during forty-seven years of active ministry:
St. Andrew's Church, Lawrenceville, Virginia (1920-1925);
St. John's Church, Georgetown, District of Columbia (1925-1945); and
Christ Church, Savannah, Georgia (1945-1967).
During this time our saint helped to prepare The Hymnal 1940 (1943). His contributions to it were two original hymns and four translations. Tucker also received a Doctor of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary in 1944. When The Episcopal Church replaced the The Book of Common Prayer (1892) with The Book of Common Prayer (1928), our saint and his father accepted the change while not renouncing their fondness for the older Prayer Book.
Tucker spent 1945-1984 in Savannah, Georgia. He, from 1945 to 1967 the Rector of historic Christ Church, Savannah, declined an opportunity to become the Bishop of Western North Carolina just a few months after arriving in Savannah. He led the effort to integrate the Diocese of Georgia in 1947. Tucker was also active in child welfare efforts in Savannah. Furthermore, our saint openly supported civil rights in the staunchly segregated city. In the 1960s, when many other congregations turned away those seeking to "pray in," Tucker welcomed all who wanted to pray at Christ Church. Also, Martin Luther King, Jr. (1939-1968), when in Savannah, spoke at Christ Church.
Tucker remained active during his retirement. He helped to create The Book of Common Prayer (1979) and The Hymnal 1982 (1985). When our saint heard complaints from supporters of The Book of Common Prayer (1928), he told them that he still preferred The Book of Common Prayer (1892). He also contributed 17 hymns or parts thereof (original and translated) to the new hymnal. (The listings for Tucker in the hymnal are 25, 26, 121, 135, 139, 164, 220, 221, 268, 269, 302, 303, 322, 356, 366, 421, 428, 443, 477, 478, 489, 530, 547, 587, 663, and 668.)
Tucker, aged 88 years, died in Savannah on January 1, 1984. Three days later, the Savannah Morning News eulogized the great man:
…he was ahead of his time as a humanitarian. Long before desegregation, he was on record in favor of it and a leader in accomplishing it.
Tucker was also a skilled poet who shared his literary gifts for the glory of God.
May the church never be bereft of people with such talents and moral courage.

Feast of Anna Ellison Butler Alexander (September 24) Leave a comment
Above: Deaconess Anna Ellison Butler Alexander
ANNA ELLISON BUTLER ALEXANDER (1865?-SEPTEMBER 24, 1947)
African-American Episcopal Deaconess in Georgia, and Educator
Deaconess Anna Ellison Butler Alexander comes to this, my Ecumenical Calendar of Saints' Days and Holy Days, via The Episcopal Church.
The history of this feast exemplifies how many commemorations rise to the denominational level in The Episcopal Church.
The feast rose from the diocesan level. In 1998 Henry Irving Louttit, Jr., the Bishop of Georgia, declared Deaconess Anna Alexander a saint of Georgia, with the feast day of September 24. The feast rose to the national level at the General Convention of 2015, which added the commemoration to A Great Cloud of Witnesses (2016), the expanded version of the official calendar of saints contained in Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2006 (2007). The General Convention of 2018 approved the greatly expanded official calendar of saints, Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 (as of the writing of this post, available as a PDF, pending the final, published version next year), with the deaconess included.
As with many other Southern African-Americans of the time, the date–the year, even–of Anna's birth remained uncertain, due to the lack of written records. Records of the Diocese of Georgia listed her year of birth as 1878. In 1947 her death certificate listed 1881 as her year of birth. Anna's birth actually occurred shortly after the end of the Civil War. Most recent sources have given 1865 as her year of birth.

Our saint was the youngest of eleven children of former slaves James and Daphne Alexander (married in 1841), of the Pierce Butler Plantation on St. Simon's Island, Georgia. Daphne was a child of plantation rape; her biological father was Roswell King, Jr. James, or "Aleck," was a skilled carpenter and builder, as well as Butler's personal assistant. The Alexanders instilled the value of education into their children, and modeled it. James, for example, taught himself to read and write. The couple, when slaves, violated the law against educating slaves; they taught their children.
Above: Glynn and McIntosh Counties, Georgia, 1951
Anna, raised in The Episcopal Church, found the public education available to her in Glynn County, Georgia, substandard. (The inadequate education of African Americans in the Postbellum South was often a matter of policy.) It was fortunate, then, that the Alexanders provided informal education for their children. Our saint, seeking to help others less fortunate than herself, became a teacher at the parochial school (attached to St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church, Darien, Georgia) her sister, Mary Alexander Mann, had founded. (Mary's husband, Ferdinand M. Mann, was the Vicar of St. Cyprian's Church from 1892 to 1914.) Many also taught at the parochial school, as did another sister, Dora. The school was, for a time, a vital to the education of African Americans in Darien.
Anna's base of operations for most of her life was the poor, rural community of Pennick, in Glynn County. In 1894 she prompted the founding of a mission, Church of the Good Shepherd. She spent 1894-1897 studying at St. Paul's Normal School (later College), Lawrenceville, Virginia. Episcopal priest James Solomon Russell (1857-1935) had founded the school in 1888. (St. Paul's College closed in 2013). Our saint, back in Pennick, rebuilt the congregation and, in 1901, founded the parochial school, which grew from one room to two rooms, with an apartment for the deaconess.
The Diocese of Georgia, founded in 1823, divided in 1907; the Diocese of Atlanta formed to the northwest of the rump Diocese of Georgia. Bishop Cleland Kinloch Nelson, based in Atlanta when he was the Bishop of Georgia (1892-1907), remained in the capital city and became the first Bishop of Atlanta (1907-1917). Nelson was a relatively liberal white Georgian of the time. He disapproved of Jim Crow, but knew he could not change the system alone, so he at least tried to keep his diocese integrated. Nelson also encouraged African-American missions. The bishop was not all-powerful, however; he could not override the collective will of the majority of lay people. So, in 1907, after the as the Diocese of Atlanta was forming, the Diocese of Georgia was segregating. Nevertheless, one of Nelson's final acts as the Bishop of Georgia was to consecrate Anna Alexander as a deaconess–the only African-American deaconess in the denomination. He did this on Friday, May 13, 1907, at the second annual meeting of the Council of Colored Churchmen.
The rump Diocese of Georgia was officially segregated for four decades. During most of that time policy was to discourage African-American missions. In 1907-1946 there were no African-American delegates to the annual diocesan conventions. The Council of Colored Churchmen, formed in 1906, barely had any representation on diocesan committees. Bishop Frederick Focke Reese (in office 1908-1936), a racist who delivered paternalistic addresses to African-American clergymen, neglected African-American congregations and schools financially. Therefore, much financial assistance had to come from other sources, official (such as the denomination) and individual. Anna was an effective fund raiser in this context. The deaconess provided an education to many African-American youth and shepherded them into further education–some at colleges and others at technical schools. She also worked as a cook at Camp Reese, the diocesan, whites-only summer camp on St. Simon's Island, for a number of years. The racially segregated Diocese of Georgia named a cabin after her in 1938. The deaconess, while working as a cook for white campers at Camp Reese, brought groups of African-American youth to St. Simon's Island and provided a sort of summer camp for them.
Bishop Middleton Stuart Barnwell (in office 1936-1954), unlike Bishop Reese, took an interest in African-American missions. He spent diocesan funds to replace or repair buildings. And, in 1947, he welcomed African Americans to the first racially integrated diocesan convention in four decades.
During the Great Depression Good Shepherd, Pennick, was a distribution center for federal and private aid in Glynn County. Anna, who ministered to her neighbors without regard to race, was in charge of distribution. She wrote:
I am to see everyone gets what they need….some folk don't need help now and I know who they are.

The deaconess earned respect in her community and vicinity; many white men removed their hats in deference when she walked past them.
Anna died on September 24, 1947. She was either in her late seventies or early eighties. She remained mostly forgotten for many years. The Episcopal Church in Georgia, 1733-1957 (1960), by Henry Thompson Malone, never mentioned the deaconess's name. Even the otherwise excellent Black Episcopalians in Georgia: Strife, Struggle and Salvation (1980), by Charles Lwanga Hoskins, frequently misidentified her as Dora. (Father Hoskins was a wonderful man, a charming priest, and a fine homilist. When I was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, Statesboro, Georgia, he was a supply priest, filling in when the Rector was away. Memories of some of his sermons have never ceased to edify me spiritually. Hoskins did, however, often mistake Anna for her sister, Dora, in his book, still an invaluable source for this post.) In recent years, however, Anna's legacy has become more prominent, fortunately. It has become sufficiently prominent that, in January 2018, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, an African American, visited Good Shepherd, Pennick.
May that legacy become more prominent.

Q: How to fix "deprecated form of raising exception" warning Suppose that I have the following code:
import sys
import traceback

class MyException(Exception):
    pass

def bar():
    [][1]

def foo():
    bar()

try:
    try:

        type, value, tb = sys.exc_info()
        raise MyException, ("You did something wrong!", type, value), tb
except LolException:
    print(traceback.format_exc())

It gives me the "deprecated form of raising exception" warning in PyCharm. How can I fix it? I need to save the original exception info.

A: Try raising the exception this way:
import sys

class MyException(Exception):
    pass

class LolException(Exception):
    pass

def bar():
    [][1]

def foo():
    bar()

try:
    try:

VIDEO: Arsenal of Democracy: Chrysler Outlines Its Participation in World War II
Truck Trend Network Magazine news
Brett T. Evans –
View Photo Gallery | 4 Photos
Almost a year before the United States officially entered World War II, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave a speech highlighting how important it was for America to support its allies. One of the aspects of that support was providing England, France, and the rest of Western Europe the tanks and supplies needed to defend against Germany's encroaching advances. Today, on the 75th anniversary of that "Arsenal of Democracy" speech, Chrysler released a video explaining the war efforts America began undertaking on December 29, 1940.

Mobilizing American automakers to build war equipment was no small undertaking. While the nation's autobuilding prowess was among the best in the world at the time, manufacturing heavy tanks and other military vehicles proved to be incredibly difficult. To ease the process, the U.S government selected a tract of land in Warren, Michigan, upon which to build a tank plant, called Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant.
The government's first tank design was contracted to Chrysler engineers, who had no trouble adapting the design to a production line. Within 13 months, the first M3 Grant tank rolled out of the Warren plant. Following the Grant in 1942 was the M4 Sherman, which featured thicker armor, a 360-degree turret, a larger engine, and weaponry advancements. During the war, Chrysler built 25,000 tanks, accounting for more than a quarter of the U.S.'s tank production. Detroit Arsenal alone built more tanks than the entire German military. Chrysler also built 60,000 Bofors guns and twice as many replacement barrels using mass production, which helped the weapons see widespread use on Allied naval ships.

Chrysler saw significant reciprocity through its participation in the Allied war effort. Aside from ensuring the safety of millions worldwide and securing a lucrative government manufacturing contract, the company's WC-Series military vehicle formed the basis of the legendary Dodge Power Wagon pickup.
The five-minute video found below is well worth the time. It highlights an interesting time period after America became invested in the war, but before it formally entered combat. A rarely told story, it's a great way to spend a few minutes on the 75th anniversary of FDR's famous speech.

McDaniel said the proposal came at the request of Bevin's administration.
On the last day of the legislative session, Kentucky lawmakers are advancing new tax breaks that would benefit companies that are spread across multiple states and countries.
The measure allows multi-state companies that are now required to use "mandatory combined reporting"— a change to the tax code enacted by state lawmakers last year — to spread their financial losses evenly across their various affiliates, a financial benefit to the companies.
The proposed changes comes after lawmakers approved — and Gov. Matt Bevin signed into law — a tax bill that would reduce state revenue by about $106 million per year, largely by tweaking the way banks get taxed.
Sen. Chris McDaniel, the Republican chair of the Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee, said that he doesn't know how much the new changes would reduce state revenue, except that "it would be a negative."
"It probably will have some degree of an impact. Unfortunately, where the impact really occurs is mainly related to the mandatory combined reporting, which we don't have data on at this point. So it's strictly an economist's guess as to what that will be as it goes forward," McDaniel said.
The measure passed out of the committee on Thursday and will have to pass out of the full Senate and House before Bevin can consider signing it into law.
The tax changes come as Kentucky struggles with a $37 billion pension debt and the state is already expected to be short about $22 million of initial projections when the fiscal year ends on June 30.
Lawmakers are also considering House Bill 358, a measure that would allow regional universities and some state agencies to exit the pension system — a proposal that would increase the state's pension debt by at least $1 billion.
When the Kentucky Coalition Against Domestic Violence joined the state's pension system in the early 2000s, it had to set aside roughly 6 percent of each employee's salary for the retirement plan.
Gov. Matt Bevin says he will likely sign off on a tax bill that reduces state revenue by about $105 million per year. The changes are mostly due to an adjustment in the way local banks get taxed by the state, but also include several other tax breaks.

A: It looks like nested_set is looking for an Array not just an array-like collection - see line 32 of the source: https://github.com/skyeagle/nested_set/blob/21a009aec86911f5581147dd22de3c5d086355bb/lib/nested_set/helper.rb#L32
...hence it's getting that ActiveRecord::Relation, wrapping it in an [array] (line 35) and then trying to iterate and blowing up.
Easy fix: call to_a on the collection first - in your controller:
@category_2_deep = Category.with_depth_below(2).to_a

Better fix: submit a patch to the maintainer that's a bit more Ruby-like and looks for it to behave like an Array, but not necessarily be one.


Being a member-in-good-standing of the SabMag group, I have the pleasure of participating in 'events' during the year. Emma participated in the 2015 'Gold Country Gathering', based in Pine Grove, CA, back in May. That event is basically at 'home' for Emma, so not really any sort of road trip.
The first two days of Emma's Roadster Road Trip were each 500 miles of grueling, mostly highway miles to get from Pioneer to Alpine. Day one was further interrupted first by a route change, thanks to a wildfire in the Sierras that could easily have closed my route after I'd departed, and at the very least would have filled the air with smoke in the area of the fire. So we headed down CA49 to CA120 through Yosemite National Park, then over Tioga Pass (9943′) to get out to the desert and head south to Las Vegas for the first nights rest. Day 2 was mostly highway down to Alpine.

On Day 3 several of the bikes, with Emma running 'sweep', took on a 210 mile 'loop' that took us over into New Mexico (briefly) before turning around at Clifton,AZ (106 degrees!) to head back to Alpine down the Coronado Trail. It was AWESOME, and Emma did very well.

Trailer launch: a Tom and Jerry movie is on its way
The love-hate relationship and the cat and mouse chase are all set to go on-screen soon. The trailer reveals comical instances and rekindles nostalgia
Photo: Youtube Screengrab
By Cutacut Editorial Team November 20, 2020
KARACHI: Hardly anyone grew up without being entertained by the hilarious due of frenemies, Tom and Jerry. Mimicking human behavior in most of their shows, the two characters did everything from impressing their crushes, going fishing, and golfing to cooking and cleaning. Childhood could not have been as good had it not been for Tom and Jerry. But it seems like the duo is set to pay us a visit again with their upcoming Tom and Jerry film. Warner Bros. just released the trailer for it.
The film will be released on March 5, 2021. It includes Chloe Grace Moretz, who plays Kayla, a new employee at a prestigious hotel who has to deal with a mouse i.e., Jerry who has taken the hotel as his current dwelling. He is seen peeking through the door with his head wrapped in a towel after a steamy bath, implying how comfortable he finds his stay at the hotel. Michael Pena is the second lead, and the Ant-Man actor can be seen hatching plans with Kayla to get rid of the "rodent".
Ken Jeong will also be taking the role of the hotel's chef Jackie, who seems equally annoyed by the two animals and vows to not let Tom and Jerry ruin his planning for an upcoming wedding at the hotel.
William Hanna and Joseph Barbera have written the new Tom and Jerry to be relevant to today's world. This is why we see Jerry enjoying his bath reading a book, with an iPhone set as his flat screen, and Airpods as his speakers.

The film also incorporates a recurring character from the show, the goldfish who befriended Jerry.

The film will also be paying homage to some of its most memorable episodes. While Tom and Jerry can be walking in a new metropolitan city at the beginning of the trailer, leaving their old suburban life behind, they have not forgotten their ways. Throwbacks to the "Flying cat" episode, electrocuted Tom, the fine handwriting skills Jerry mouse possesses have graced the trailer. One can only imagine how many of these throwbacks will be in the film.
One of the many top highlights of the new Tom and Jerry movie, so far, even are the many subtle Easter Eggs and inside jokes.
Designs on Jerry? Check. The Cat Concerto? Check. The Flying Cat? Check.
The setting being in Manhattan may even be a throwback to "Mouse in Manhattan". pic.twitter.com/Z7es1xHoUI
— The Critical Thinker: Outside The Box (@IAmJustFarhan) November 19, 2020
Directed by Tim Story, the film that initially begins as a cat and mouse (even humans) chase one another, the three lead characters come together to uncover a conspiracy involving Kayla's boss, Terrance. The filming began in 2019 after the conclusion was finally reached to officially make it a live-action/animated film. The film was set to release by December 2020 but was delayed due to the ongoing pandemic.

Note traffic pattern, parking changes for Homecoming Parade
October 4, 2017 | Events, News, UToday
UT faculty, staff, students and alumni who will be traveling to Main Campus Saturday, Oct. 7, to enjoy Homecoming festivities should note the Homecoming Parade's new direction and parking lot changes that will help to alleviate traffic congestion on game day.
Presented by the Blue Key National Honor Society, this year's Edward C. and Helen G. Schmakel Homecoming Parade will begin at 8 a.m. and travel through the Old Orchard neighborhood in the opposite direction than it has in previous years due to ongoing construction on Bancroft Street. The parade will begin at West Bancroft Street and Campus Road and go east to Cheltenham Road to Christie Street to Middlesex Drive and back to West Bancroft Street. To help you enjoy watching the parade with friends and family, a route map is available here.
This year the Edward C. and Helen G. Schmakel Homecoming Parade has a new route: It will begin at West Bancroft Street and Campus Road and go east to Cheltenham Road to Christie Street to Middlesex Drive and back to West Bancroft Street.
As the floats, dignitaries, alumni and other parade participants assemble, parking lots 12 and 13 will be closed, and lot 14 impacted, until the parade passes through – from approximately 7 to 10 a.m. (These are in addition to other lots that are routinely closed on game day: lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 28.) At the same time, the entrances to Campus Drive and West Towerview Boulevard also will be closed.
Drivers are encouraged to use the following alternate lots between 7 and 10 a.m. on Saturday: 1N, 1S, 2, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 and the east parking garage.
Staff will be on hand to open lots 12 and 13 as soon as the parade passes through, and to help ensure traffic is well-managed on Homecoming day, when hundreds of additional vehicles will be on campus. Your patience and attention to safety are appreciated.


I am a huge fan of watches and yes I love collecting them (I got this passion from my dad!). Titan is one of the best selling Indian brands and it is well positioned in the market based on the quality, price range, variety and stylishness. I always adore Titan Women watches and love gifting them to my cousins. Today I am going to discuss my experience with Titan Women Grey Watch which my dad gifted me 2 years ago on my birthday (I got a beautiful watch today on my birthday too*happy dance*).
Titan Women Grey Watch is a grey-ish toned watch with two toned metallic strap or wrist band. I am really not fond of thick or big watches and prefer to go for lightweight ones. The watch has a grey face with two toned design on the dial. There are no numbers on the face but has two golden markings in place of 6 and 12. It is easy to read time and looks really elegant and sophisticated on my hands. The strap is two toned and looks good and classy. The watch can be worn on any occasion. I love wearing it whenever I hang out with my friends and family. I just wish it had date option but nevertheless I love the way it looks on my hands. The watch is durable and stayed in great condition for two years without any wear or tear. Luckily there are still no scratches on the face of the watch (I always take care not to scratch the face of my watch!). It is a waterproof watch and I really don't care to put it in my bags whenever it is pouring.
• The watch looks elegant and sophisticated on hands.
• Can be worn on any occasion.
• I think the model has been discontinued. I could not find it online.
Overall I really loved this watch. It is that one watch that I wear more often. It is of good quality, reasonably priced and looks elegant on hands. I really adore Titan watches and would recommend to everyone!
Do you love two toned watches? Share in the comments below!
me in hunt for a good watch.. hope to find one soon..
This Watch is Lovely.. Now I Wanna See Your Budday Watch!

I needed a replacement due to broken leads on the original thermistor. The solution was to order a pack of these for less than the shipping of getting the parts from original. After verifying that it was returning reasonable values, I choosed this one with Alfawise brand. They didn't let me down, all with good quality and quite durable. Of course you can break it with enough abuse, but this is many times better than the original. If you get this for your printer you may need to calibrate it depending on what it is replacing, but it's right in line with other common parts so you could be lucky.
Good product. Nothing to complain about.
I purchased them to fix the bad thermistor on my old 3D printer. I do not really have any way to test the accuracy but the printer works perfectly so I assume that the accuracy is decent. According to the appearance, surprisingly it is well built, they are made of high-quality aluminium material, have a nice metallic sheen and malleable to a certain extent.
These thermistors work perfectly for the job, I am not having a problems with them, very satisfied!!
Arrived with very well bundled. All thermistors perfectly wrapped together with single band holding them together. I pulled the one out of the bundle that I needed, no tangles at all.
Needed to replace the thermistor on by printer's heated bed. Works well, good price. Have used one and it did the job. Plugged one in and it was reading temperature perfectly, no problems and works exactly as described.
Over all, great quality, looks very well put together, a good purchase experience.
I ordered these thinking it would be after a long time until I received them. I was wrong! The delivery was fast and the price was great!
Fast delivery and the part is performing better than my old thermistor. I'm happy back to printing away!
Used one of these to replace the thermistor on my 3D printer. Works absolutely perfectly!
Exactly as advertised and fixed the problem I was having with my 3d printer. Thank you!
What I recieved was as pictured, it came in on time and works well. Thank you!
They worked just like they should!! good price and fast delivery!!


The four veterans brought in by Timberwolves coach/boss Tom Thibodeau before the start of the 2017-18 season have proved to be sizable assets.
Jimmy Butler is a hard-nosed star and a character likely to say anything, in the manner of Kevin Garnett. Taj Gibson is also hard-nosed and a better player than I imagined.
Jamal Crawford still has it as a shooter and has lived up to his reputation as one of NBA's great guys. Jeff Teague has a quiet manner and has put together a good season.
They crawled past the shorthanded Knicks on Jan. 23, no-showed vs. the 76ers, lost incredibly at home to the Grizzlies, received 56 points from Karl-Anthony Towns and still struggled to put away the worst team in the East (Atlanta), and won at Dallas on Friday in a game that was the Medusa's Head of basketball.
Overachieving Utah is here on Sunday night. The fans might not get a chance to cheer for their favorite point guard, since Ricky Rubio missed Friday's game for the Jazz because of a tight hamstring. It was only the fifth game missed for Rubio.
Teague left Friday's abomination in Dallas because of a sore hip. He has missed 11 games this season.
Rubio, 27, is averaging 29.9 minutes, 12.8 points, 5.4 assists and shooting 40.8 percent (.333 on threes). Teague, 29, is averaging 32.8 minutes, 13.8 points, 7.0 assists and shooting 44.3 (.373 on threes).
Teague must deal with the we-love-Ricky faction and also the delusional types who think Tyus Jones, 21, is ready to be more than a backup.
Jones has played in all 77 games and averaged 17.8 minutes. On occasion, he is exiled to Thibodeau's version of Elba — including when he was blown by a couple of times early vs. Memphis and played only five minutes.
Overall, Teague has been an upgrade. So have Butler, Gibson and Crawford. That's why the Wolves have 44 victories with five left, rather than the 31 in 2016-17.
