Mt. Airy's James Smart is a man of many parts — none of them missing. This former Evening Bulletin staff writer and columnist is also an avid Philadelphia author-historian with a special interest in the 1876 United States International Exhibition in Philadelphia that marked our Centennial. He's a stickler for accuracy ("…it's often wrongly called the 'Exposition'") on one hand and an unabashed humorist on the other. He's an 81-year-old Everyman of print, as we learned during a recent interview.
His latest book, "Adonijah Hill's Journal," is what we call "faction," a cringe-worthy word meaning fact-based fiction. Adonijah and the people in his life such as Mrs. Riley, his landlady in Kensington, are fictional. However, only real events and real people were referenced in each day's journal entry.
First of all, the name, Adonijah: Hill tells us, in his entry of Jan. 2, 1876, "I was born April 26, 1840, and christened Adonijah Mordecai Hill. My father named me for one of his favorite Bible men. Pop always said that he thought Adonijah [Solomon's fifth son] didn't deserve the way he was treated. He would read the book of Kings and mumble and grumble and say, 'Solomon was supposed to be so damn smart, but he could be a real ass sometimes. Just like his father.' Pop always read the Bible a while before he went to bed. He read the Bible and the newspapers and not much else."
In Adonijah's journal entry of Jan. 2, the book's opening (on a Sunday), when presumably Hill had more time for rumination than on a weekday, he matter-of-factly describes his birth, youth, early work as mill-hand, duty in the Civil War (in which he sustained a wound that bothered him in his later life as a Philadelphia newspaperman) and hiring by the well-established Evening Bulletin. We learn of his marriage and the death in childbirth of his young wife and infant daughter, again with surprising straightforwardness and stoic acceptance. (The only times Adonijah expressed a wish for company were when he was dining out or going to the theater — and such times were few.)
To position Hill's place in the scheme of things, author Smart described the role of newspapers in the 1870s: "There were literally scores of newspapers in those days, and sometimes the writing was funny by our standards. A newspaper would never recap a story that had begun on an earlier day; it would simply report on that day's developments. Of course its readers were fully aware of the earlier parts of the story, having read them in previous issues of that newspaper, or another. Everyone read a morning and an evening newspaper. Or so the editors of the day assumed."
As his Journal unfolds, we gradually learn a bit here and there about Adonijah Hill — but the Journal is far more the day-by-day story of anything and everything happening in the city, in Harrisburg (as it related to Philadelphia) and to a degree in the nation and overseas. Hill imparts the messages, with flecks of humor embroidering a generally straightforward news style — and fascinating messages they often are. Adonijah describes events requiring police intervention, political activity (or, in some cases, inactivity, this being Philadelphia, after all), and what today we'd call human interest.
Adonijah starts almost every daily entry, written at his boarding house after each day of chasing stories and writing them for the Evening Bulletin, with the prevalent weather — complete with his complaints about same. This is natural; after all, he had to be out in the weather, good or bad, to visit the Exhibition site.
What inspired the book? "I started thinking about it in 2001, when my grandson turned 14. I realized that both my grandfathers were 14 in 1876, and with the Exhibition, it was a particularly significant year in Philadelphia. I had access to all the Evening Bulletin's library, which is now at Temple University's Paley Library. Temple has other newspapers of the time, too — and the Free Library of Philadelphia has a treasury of Centennial items. I drew a lot from them, too."
In our opinion, you'll find the book gently wrought and fascinating in its scope and for its storytelling qualities. It's a worthy read, especially if you're absorbed (as we became) with the then-and-now qualities inherent in the times and places of Philadelphia in 1876 versus 2011.
Adonijah and his creator have two things in common: one, being newspapermen; two, widowers. Jim met his charming second wife, Barbara Torade, through a Channel 12/WHYY freelance writing assignment 35 years ago. He was to write copy for a Bicentennial poster, with Penn-era Native American wampum as the art element. Barbara provided the design for it, and when they met, "There he was, glowing," as she puts it, with a smile that glows, too. After a career in advertising, much of it during the "Mad Men" era at Philadelphia's N. W. Ayer, and in New York and London, Barbara now uses her University of the Arts degree to complete projects that include book design. She deserves the credit for the vintage look and the easy-reading type of "Adonijah Hill's Journal." She also designed one of Jim Smart's previous books, "Soggy Shrub Rides Again and Other Improbabilities," a hilarious view of life's facets as seen through the jaundiced eye of a quintessential cynic and humor columnist. The book is a collection of Smart columns written after 1990 for local papers.
Of Jim's decision to be a writer, one of his less enthusiastic family members said, "You should make window screens like your cousin Billy. You'll never want for work." Although time has proved the family member wrong, Jim's early days at the Bulletin starting in 1957 were dicey. "I was married and with children, but I still started as a copy boy," he said. "Everybody did; it was how you learned the newspaper business."
Jim was with the Bulletin for 25 years, until it ceased publication in 1982. For its last 14 years, he was a columnist, writing six days a week for the first eight years, and being cut back to three a week for the balance. "Imagine," Jim said, "that a reader actually wrote that I was being overworked, so they cut me back — the first time in history a newspaper ever did anything about its overworked writers!" He then held several advertising and corporate public relations posts as well as becoming a freelancer, writing columns for suburban newspapers and, of course, books. His most ambitious and prestigious book was the lavishly illustrated 192-page "Historic Philadelphia: An Illustrated History," published by Historic Philadelphia, Inc. in an edition of 1,000 copies. A few copies are available used on Amazon.com, as are Jim's other books.

June 30th vs. The Rangers
I watched most of this one – picking the game up around 8 pm – during the Baseball Prospectus gathering at Foley's Pub tonight.
The third biggest reaction from the crowd at the bar was when A-Rod hit his monster homer.
The second biggest reaction from the crowd at the bar was when Jose Molina got his bell rung on a cross-up from Jose Veras.
The biggest reaction from the crowd at the bar was when the T.V. showed the slow-motion replay of Molina taking one on the fly from Veras right to his huevos.
And, that just about sums up the Yankees night today. What a waste. But, hey, it was Supercuts Visor Night! (I only know this because I saw a bunch of people on the train, heading back to New Jersey, sporting their brand new visors.)
It was an interesting night at Foley's…the Yankees lost a tough one, the Mets lost badly to the Cardinals…which hurt because the Mets just beat the Yankees and now were getting their tail kicked, easily, in St. Louis…and the Rays beat the Red Sox…and you're not sure who to root for in that series…and all three games were going at the same time on three different T.V. sets…
So, from a game watching perspective, it was somewhat painful. But, from a "hanging out" perspective…it was a great night.
I got to meet some of the readers of this blog – including frequent WasWatching.com commenter "Raf." I got to meet some good Yankees fans who don't read this blog. (Hey, what's up with that?) I got to see people like Alex Belth and Cliff Corcoran, from Bronx Banter, who I haven't seen in a while. And, I got to meet, for the first time, some people – like Peter Abraham and Will Carroll – who I've traded e-mails with in the past…but who I had never meet in person before tonight. (Happy Birthday, again, Will!)
You know, back in the day, during a Yankees game recap, when the Scooter heard that Pope Paul VI had just passed away, he said "Well, that kind of puts a damper on even a Yankee win."
Well, hanging at Foley's tonight was fun enough for me to now say "Hey, that kind of takes the damper off even a Yankee loss!"
My thanks to all who took some time to chat with me and share part of the evening…it was a pleasure. And, my apologies to anyone who I didn't get a chance to say 'good-bye' to when I had to bolt – soon after the game ended – at 10:20. (My train was leaving Penn at 10:42 – which I just made – and that got me home just before midnight. The next train was leaving at 11:30 – which would have gotten me home at 12:42…and that's a big difference.)
Cross your fingers for Joba Chamberlain on Tuesday. With this loss today, and Sidney Ponson going on Wednesday…Joba may be our best chance at avoiding a sweep.

Last Wednesday, my little girl grew up a little bit more. She went from attending a small home-based Waldorf preschool to attending kindergarten in a classroom of more than 20 children (I think there are 27) in a school of more than 400.
As I said previously, I've been filled with a mix of emotions with Ava starting kindergarten in "the big school." There are some things about it I'm not fond of: like that they use hand sanitizer before lunch and snack instead of washing hands, that Ava – who is normally a social butterfly – said she was an "only lonely" at recess on Friday, the not-so-healthy snacks, that the hot lunch program is pretty much all fried, unhealthy foods, and that after two full days of school her teacher doesn't appear to know her name yet.
I could be overreacting. I mean, I want my girl to be happy and safe and healthy, but it was only the first week of school. Perhaps once they get into their routine, hand washing will happen more regularly instead of hand sanitizing (the teacher did tell me that washing was her preference – if there's time). And I'm sure her teacher will learn her name soon. This week they are focusing on "making and keeping friends" and maybe that will help Ava fit in a little better.
Yet, regardless of all of this, there was something about taking Ava to school that first day that just didn't feel "right" to me. I've made a lot of parenting decisions in the past five years and I have to say I've felt peaceful about pretty much every one of them. Sure, I made some wrong choices here and there, but as for the big decisions, I've felt good about them. However, there was something about dropping Ava off that didn't feel peaceful to me.
Last week I reread a post I wrote almost a year ago called Is Home Schooling Right For Us? At the time, I was leaning toward home schooling, but wanted to keep my options open. Jody and I ended up visiting a few public schools including a charter school, a regular public school and an International Baccalaureate World school (also public). We made our decision and hoped for the best. Somewhere in there the idea of home schooling got lost in the shuffle. Also, I was dealing with some heavy duty anxiety as I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder this winter and didn't feel like I could add another thing (home schooling) to my plate.
Now here we are, a week into the school year and I'm reconsidering home schooling. There's a great, very active home schooling community in my area and I feel like, if I wanted to pursue this, I'm in a good head space to do it now. However, I am not going to make any rash decisions. We are going to see how it goes for now. I'm going to do more research. There were a slew of helpful comments with links in my Is Home Schooling Right For Us? post and I need to read up on them. What I'd like to do is supplement a bit at home while Ava is in kindergarten and see how she responds to that and how I do with it too. If the supplemental home schooling goes well and I feel like she could learn from me and if I don't fall in love with her school over the next several months, then we might give home schooling a try for first grade. We'll see.
For now I'm going to try to stay positive (especially around Ava) and go to a volunteer orientation this week so I can start volunteering in the classroom and do some reconnaissance help out and see how it all works. I've already been emailing with the principal about the possibility of donating a Clean Well wall-mounted hand sanitizer dispenser for the classroom (by the way, I'll be giving away some Clean Well products soon!) and to obtain the Material Safety Data Sheets (boy, are those a fun read :P) so I could take a look at what kinds of cleaning products are used in the school. I hope I'm not coming off as a pain in the ass, but rather a parent who's concerned about the health and well-being of her child and all children in the school. The principal did encourage me to stay in touch, thanked me for my interest and said "parents like you are what make "X" the great school it is!" That last part struck me as a bit form letter-esque, but I'd like to think that she means it.
I like that I have choices and the option of changing my mind. I like that I can get involved and maybe make a positive difference. And I will keep asking my questions because knowledge is power.
I'll be posting the rest of Ava's first day of kindergarten pics soon. (Yes, I finally picked up my SLR again after a several month hiatus and it felt good.) 🙂

Posted by Ram Kumar Shrestha on July 18, 2012
AP | By BASSEM MROUE and ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY
By BASSEM MROUE and ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY, Associated Press
BEIRUT — A suicide bomber struck the National Security building in the Syrian capital Wednesday, killing the defense minister and wounding the interior minister in a brazen attack on the seat of government power, state-run TV said.
Defense Minister Dawoud Rajha, 65, a former army general, is the most senior government official to be killed in the Syrian civil war as rebels battle to oust President Bashar Assad. Interior Minister Mohammed Shaar was in stable condition, state-run TV said.
Although it was unclear who was behind the attack, the high-level assassination could signal a turning point in the 16-month conflict as the violence becomes increasingly chaotic.
The capital also has seen four straight days of clashes pitting government troops against rebels – an unprecedented challenge to government rule in the tightly controlled capital.
Rajha was the most senior Christian government official in Syria. Assad appointed him to the post last year. His death will resonate with Syria's minority Christian population, who make up about 10 percent of Syria's population and have generally stood by the regime.
Christians say they are particularly vulnerable to the violence sweeping the country of 22 million people, and they are fearful that Syria will become another Iraq, with Christians caught in the crossfire between rival Muslim groups.
Wednesday's attack struck the National Security building in Damascus during a meeting of Cabinet ministers and senior security officials. State-run TV said some of the officials were seriously wounded.
Damascus-based activist Omar al-Dimashki said Republican Guard troops surrounded the nearby al-Shami Hospital where some officials were taken for treatment.
The blast came on the same day the U.N. Security Council was scheduled to vote on a new resolution aimed at pressuring the Syrian regime to comply with a peace plan.
But Russia remained at loggerheads with the U.S. and its European allies over any mention of sanctions and Chapter 7 of the U.N. charter, which could eventually allow the use of force to end the conflict in Syria.
Besides a government crackdown, rebel fighters are launching increasingly deadly attacks on regime targets, and several massive suicide attacks this year suggest al-Qaida or other extremists are joining the fray.
Activists say more than 17,000 people have been killed since the uprising began in March 2011.
The state-run news agency SANA reported that Wednesday's blast was aimed at the National Security building, a headquarters for one of Syria's intelligence branches and less than 500 meters (yards) from the U.S. Embassy.
Police had cordoned off the area, and journalists were banned from approaching the site.
Earlier Wednesday, SANA said soldiers were chasing rebels in the Midan neighborhood, causing "great losses among them." The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said army helicopters attacked the neighborhoods of Qaboun and Barzeh.
Diplomacy so far has failed to stop the bloodshed, and there appeared to be little hope that the U.N.'s most powerful body would unite behind a plan.
The key stumbling block is the Western demand for a resolution threatening non-military sanctions and tied to Chapter 7 of the United Nations Charter, which could eventually allow the use of force to end the conflict in Syria.
Russia is adamantly opposed to any mention of sanctions or Chapter 7. After Security Council consultations late Tuesday on a revised draft resolution pushed by Moscow, Russia's deputy U.N. ambassador Alexander Pankin said these remain "red lines."
Russia has said it will veto any Chapter 7 resolution, but council diplomats said there is still a possibility of last-minute negotiations.

Democrats on both sides of the Rotunda see Paul D. Ryan as a reliable legislator, but someone likely to face the same pitfalls as his predecessor if elected speaker.
As the Wisconsin Republican spent Wednesday reaching out to the various factions of the House GOP conference, Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., said in a brief interview there were many aspects of Ryan's background he feels "good about." He cited the 2013 budget agreement with Sen. Patty Murray of Washington and a 2013 appearance in Chicago with Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez, D-Ill., in support of an immigration overhaul , saying the latter "showed more courage than most people in the House Republican caucus." Durbin said it was too soon to tell what kinds of policies Ryan, now chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, would pursue as speaker, but he expects "to see some conservative suggestions that I might not agree with."

Rob Schneider Blames Democrats For Not Making a Movie In California
Oh hey, Rob Schneider's still alive.
"Saturday Night Live" Alumni Rob Scheider appeared on Politichicks yesterday discussing his reasons for no longer considering himself a Democrat, citing the Democratic supermajority in California as the reason he hasn't made a movie there in seven years.
The state of California is a mess," according to Schneider, "and the supermajority of Democrats is not working. I've been a lifelong Democrat and I have to switch over because it no longer serves the people of this great state. We need to have a new voice. We need to have a new direction, and we need to break the supermajority. It isn't helping with jobs.
The last time I made a movie in California was seven years ago," he said. "And that's because we're not being competitive. I own a vitamin company with my friend and we moved out of state because of overregulation. It isn't helping businesses.
Unfortunately, no matter if Schneider has a point or not, no one is going to take him seriously. Blaming the Democrats for not making a movie a California? How about the fact that Schneider is a bad actor who hasn't had a major starring role since Deuce Bigalow: European Jigalow, his TV show was cancelled after eight episodes, and his major release movies since 2005 were all bit parts in films from his buddy Adam Sandler.
What do you think? Taking Schneider seriously, or does he seem like a petty washed up actor?

3 new shootings reported as raid seizes guns
Police seize handguns, shotguns in Monday night raid
Baltimore City police have been busy investigating three new shootings since late Monday night, not long after a raid netted them more than a dozen illegal weapons.
At about 11:15 p.m. Monday, police said a man was shot in the back in the 100 block of South Janney Street in southeast Baltimore.
Police said the victim was involved in a confrontation with another man and was shot. The victim then walked to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center for treatment.
At about the same time, another man was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg in the 2100 block of McCullough Street in west Baltimore. Officials said the incident may have occurred at Madison and Mosher streets.
The victim told police he was walking when an unknown black man approached him and began shooting.
The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment.
A few minutes before that, detectives said a man was shot in the 700 block of East 20th Street in east Baltimore. The victim was found suffering from numerous gunshot wounds to his torso and limbs.
Detectives are looking for the shooters in all three incidents.
Meanwhile, as the violence continued, police said more guns were being taken off the streets.
Officials said nearly a dozen illegal weapons were seized Monday after a raid in southeast Baltimore. Detectives told 11 News that they recovered three handguns, three shotguns and five rifles, as well as suspected drugs and ammunition.
Police said three people were taken into custody and will be charged with multiple weapons violations.

Its amazing that something which seems so free-flowing and almost impulsive (not in terms of artistry but in terms of emotion) has an almost geometrical progression and orchestration to it. Its great and I think a lot of people would actually be interested in knowing something like that. It makes your appreciation of the music so much deeper.
thanks a bunch (Keep up le work)
I saw the PM.
I first listened to the song and thought "Yeah thats pretty cool".
Then I read the rest of your PM and listened to it again and I got goosebumps. Thats some fucking precision they got going there, and its amazing how the mathematical nature of it doesn't even remotely take away from the fun of it.
Is this something that all Muse fans know? Or is it something you figured out? Its absolutely fucking fascinating.
Exilement where the hell is your music i've been looking in the chat thread for 10 minutes.
No it was literally a random video that I sent you because I was high. I thought maybe YOU'd notice something impressive that you could tell me about.
I am pretty high at the moment so I thought it would be appropriate, as a musician, to show you a South Indian proto-bollywood song from the 50s before they adopted any technological advancement in film making, music creation or sound technology.

Verdict? So cute, and so hot.

ORANGE -- White lights glow through the windows of North New Salem Congregational Church the week before Christmas.
The country church fills with worshippers on the foggy Sunday morning, but the Sweeney family from Orange is conspicuously missing.
The Sweeneys arrive late for Sunday school because Tim Sweeney has been in the emergency room all night with a sick friend.
They spread out in three smaller pews before the church service starts, with 7-year-old Roman Sweeney sitting in a row behind his parents and close to his oldest brother, Thadryan.
Roman -- who was born in Russia and adopted into the Sweeney family at the end of January 2000 -- is in the midst of another big change.
Over the past month or so, he has been going to Shriners Hospital in Springfield to be fitted with prosthetic legs. He was born with deformities in his legs and one arm.
But today, Roman is in church with his parents, Tim and Pam, and his sister and three brothers.
The congregation sings hymns as a parishioner plays the guitar. Pam's voice soars as she holds hands with Tim, while Roman delicately turns pages of a Bible.
Pastor Edward ``Ted'' Boren reads the Christmas story from Luke and then leads the congregation in prayer. Thadryan and Roman share a quick, whispered comment in mid-prayer.
Tim and Pam go to the altar to sing with their friend, who has been ill. Tim sings with his hands as well as his voice, clasping his hands in prayer and lifting his arms high during the song.
As the trio sings the words, ``Gloria in excelsis Deo,'' from the hymn, ``Angels We Have Heard on High,'' Roman softly sings along with them from his seat in the pew.
Two days later, Roman is in an examining room at Shriners Hospital with Robert P. Loeffler, a staff prosthetist, and Matt Parente, a prosthetic resident.
The pair are fitting clear plastic molds over Roman's leg stumps. They ask Roman to stand up in the molds.
Roman tells Mr. Loeffler the molds do not hurt ``even a bit discount christian louboutin.'' Later, Pam says Roman's complaints are not about what you would expect.
``There's never enough candy in the world. Can't play enough Nintendo ... but as far as physical discomfort, he doesn't complain about anything,'' she says.
The two men are looking at the molds, trying to figure out how best to fit Roman's new legs so they will be as comfortable as possible.
At the end of the session, Pam asks whether Roman will be able to ride a bike with his legs. Sure, but it may take some work, Mr. Loeffler says.
When Roman first began speaking English, he told his mother he wanted a bicycle.
``You will take me in the store and say, `Which bike, Roman?' '' he explained, ``and I will say, `The red one.' ''
At 11 a.m. on Jan. 8, Roman comes back to the hospital so he can get his new legs. He is again riding piggyback on his oldest brother, Thadryan.
By the end of the day the boy, who is 33 inches tall, will know what it is like to stand 51 inches, or all of 4 feet, 3 inches.
After lunch in the hospital cafeteria, Roman walks down the hall with Pam and Thadryan. His walk is easy, as he pushes off on his nondeformed right arm, balances on his right leg stump for a second, before rolling off his bottom and leg.
As he sits in a waiting area, Roman turns to Pam with a smile.
``I'm gonna walk,'' he says.
Spotting the prosthetic limbs in another room, he bursts into a chant of ``I see my leg. Legs, legs, legs.''
Roman, who has never owned shoes, examines the black sneaker on the end of one leg.
The artificial legs are a mix of faux natural and high tech. The thighs are flesh-colored while the fancy knee joint and calf are a rainbow of colored metal parts.
As Thadryan walks one of the prosthetic legs around the room, he bends it and checks out the knee joint.
``Stop it! Stop messing with my leg!'' Roman tells him. Roman then lines up his new legs on the floor in front of him.
Eventually, one of the legs is strapped on around Roman's hips, and he looks down exclaiming, ``Whoa!''
``I can't even pick it up,'' he says with a grunt.
After both legs are attached, Roman looks both tiny and very tall at the same time. The legs appear to almost overwhelm his body, as he sits with them sticking straight out.
``OK, I'm ready. ... Can we go now?'' Roman says anxiously. But there is still more fitting to be done, such as the screw in a knee joint that needs adjusting.
When Pam asks what he is thinking about, Roman makes a face, and tells her he is thinking about nothing.
Mr. Loeffler asks if Roman is ready, and both men ease Roman into a standing position. He has to be told to wait a while before trying to walk as the men check the prosthetic legs.
Roman stands tall, his shoulders thrown back as he balances on the legs.
Then, Mr. Parente eases his hands away from Roman's waist and back.
Roman is standing tall, on his own two legs.
He makes his way to a set of parallel bars in the hall and begins to walk with the help of Mr. Loeffler and Mr. Parente. As he figures out how to bend the knee joints, the legs jut out and his gait is stiff-legged and rambling.
Even turning around at the end of the parallel bars is a task, but Roman manages with the help of Mr. Loeffler and Mr. Parente.
Carrying his new legs is difficult, ``but I can do it,'' a determined Roman says.
``I know you can do it, sweetheart -- I know you can,'' Pam says christian louboutin outlet.
The prosthetic legs turned out to be too big, so Roman has been wearing ``stubbies,'' legs that do not have knee joints, while he waits for a new set.
Roman sits in the cafeteria at Fisher Hill School in Orange, holding court as he eats a chicken fajita. He is in a class for children who in between kindergarten and first grade. In the cafeteria, kids come and go, quickly filling the empty seats next to him.
He talks and laughs, grabbing bites of lunch in between.
As the crowd thins out, Pamela Arseneau, an aide, comes to take him back to his classroom.
Roman wears bright white sneakers as he walks. His legs stand wide apart and swing out to the side a little, as he walks on his stubbies down the hall.
Sometimes he holds Ms. Arseneau's hand, other times he walks alone with his right arm swinging to keep his momentum going.
``You're quite a hot shot today, aren't you?'' Ms. Arseneau asks.
Boots and shoes sit on the floor by the lockers, potential stumbling blocks for someone still getting used to a new set of legs. But Roman's momentum does not break.
As he walks alone for a minute, Roman clears several shoes without a hitch.
Roman hums a melody as he walks down the hall.

Man convicted in 2009 robbery, shooting
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 29-year-old Jacksonville man was convicted Wednesday afternoon on charges of attempted murder, armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
In July 2009, Dontay Lester met John Albritton at Club Cash on University Boulevard. Shortly after meeting, the two men decided to leave the club and buy cigars.
As Lester and Albritton were driving back to Club Cash, Lester pulled out a gun, robbed Albritton, and shot him three times in the chest and once in the arm.
Days after the shooting, Albritton's father was at Club Cash and spotted Lester, who was wearing the jewelry he stole from the victim. Jacksonville police made contact with Lester at the club and arrested him.
Lester faces mandatory life in prison. He will be sentenced the week of March 18.
Albritton has recovered from his injuries.

The academic success of each student-athlete at Oral Roberts University carries great weight in measuring the success of ORU's athletic programs. To have success both on and off the playing arena, ORU student-athletes are encouraged to take advantage of all the resources offered by ORU's academic support services.
These services are run by Kyle Jones, Associate Athletic Director of Athletic Academics. Additional assistance is provided by Directors of Athletic Academics, Helen Torgerson and Whitney Cook, and a staff of academic mentors and tutors.
ORU is concerned with the full development of its student-athletes, and its academic support system is one of the many support programs that assists them.
The Athletic Academic Center begins work even before a student-athlete arrives on campus. All high school transcripts must be reviewed to ensure student-athletes meet ORU admission standards and NCAA requirements.
Once a student-athlete is on campus, ORU provides many services and opportunities for student-athletes to aide their academic progress.
In conjunction with ORU's Comprehensive Advisement Center, the Academic Center offers tutoring sessions on an individual and group basis.
The Athletic Academic Center is also responsible for helping monitor each student-athlete's progress toward a degree while maintaining athletic eligibility. The Athletic Academic Center does this through direct contact with university professors to track attendance and academic standings.
The Athletic Academic Center provides support in assisting student-athletes with their studies during road trips. Through the use of laptop computers, student-athletes can complete assignements and work on papers while travelling on the road.
The Athletic Academic Center also helps student-athletes coordinate class and practice schedules to best suit them in maintaining a healthy balance.
The ELI Center is the hub of academic services for student-athletes at Oral Roberts University. The ELI (Education, Learning, Integrity) Center provides both academic support and career advice. The ELI center also tracks each student-athlete's progress toward earning a degree from ORU. Each student-athlete is tracked to maintain their athletic eligibility by not only NCAA and Summit League requirements, but also by a higher academic standard set by ORU. The ELI Center features study and research aides to assist student-athletes with their academic progress.
Study Hall Hours
The ELI Center is open and staffed 55 hours per week. Student-athletes are required to check in and out to keep track of hours completed. Study hall hour requirements are determined by the student-athlete's academic standing and progress.
Tutor Program
A tutor program has been set up so all student-athletes have access to peer-tutors to assist them with studying and test preparation.
Computer Lab
The computer lab area provides student-athletes with personal computers for various uses. The computers are used for researching information, typing papers and working on projects through the computer network.
Group Study Rooms
Enclosed group study rooms provide student-athletes with places to work on group projects.
Individual Study Areas
Individual study areas are also available for student-athletes to study for tests and work on papers.
Academic Excellence
At Oral Roberts University, student-athletes are students first. In a survey of NCAA member schools released in August, 2001, ORU student-athletes ranked 5th nationally among Division I schools in graduation rate above the 1993-99 cohort.

It's an auspicious start for Minnesota band Howler. Their frontman, Jordan Gatesmith (who is still under the legal drinking age in America), started the group as a solo side project that he decided to flesh out with a few more band members. Now Rough Trade has plucked their debut EP, This One's Different, from the heretofore obscure Minneapolis label, So-TM.
In terms of whether or not this one is, in fact, different: not really. If you've listened to any guitar music from the last 20 years, you've heard albums like this, guitar progression like this, vocal techniques like this... In the context of American indie rock bands right now, though, Howler are different. Their contemporaries at similar points in their careers have a continuing love affair with garage rock and excessive reverb, with a special mention to the shoegaze revivalists. So that Howler's influences seem to stem from Teenage Fanclub (and making them logical labelmates British Sea Power) is refreshing. Sure, there is the occasional, inescapable surf vibe to some of their leads, but the songs are built on strong guitar rhythms that add a brashness to these sunshiny deviations.
The other prevalent convention in American indie that Howler seem to be bucking is the reigning Bro culture: music by dudes for dudes. This EP is essentially 14 minutes of songs about Gatesmith's (presumably ex-) girlfriend. Gatesmith tempers his outward anger towards this girl with equal measures of self-loathing, producing the fantastic chorus, "I wish there was something I could do/'Cause I hate myself more than I hate you." His general disaffected delivery - aided by an inherently husky voice - does a lot to prevent the EP from sounding like one long, whinging diary entry. At the same time, this display of emotion, this idea that an evening of excess could be about drowning sorrows rather than just taking things too far in the name of youth, is very personable. There is something more human about the songwriter who lays bare his feelings about a girl. Even if he does think the girl in question is a bitch.

Miniature Weapons in Roman Britain

Miniature Weapons in Roman Britain
While at the British Museum a while back, I saw this little guy. The description says that miniature weapons like these were popular votive offerings in Roman-era temples in Britain, particularly spears and axes. The fact axes were suppose to common at these founds struck me as a bit odd, since its generally thought the British (or the Romans for that matter-- but assuming this spear on display is typical, they're using the old Celtic types) didn't use axes as weapons in war. I emailed the British Museum for more information back in August, and haven't heard back, so I thought I would start asking around to see if anyone had information on them, or where I can read up on them?
Re: Miniature Weapons in Roman Britain
who did you email? I may be able to suggest some more targetted email addresses if you just used a generic one
Re: Miniature Weapons in Roman Britain
I first contacted Coins, the address suggested for the Citi Money Room (where it's on display), and they told me to contact the Portable Antiquities at email@example.com, who I'm waiting to hear from.

Go to the PAS database and use "votive" and "axe" as search terms.

William , Shane & Crew were attentive to our needs. Project went as planned, except for delays because of Irma. Any concerns we had were addressed and resolved. We would definitely hire again to do work at our home and recommend them whole heartedly. Very Professional.
We recently had Kitchen Solvers reface my bathroom cabinet and install a quartz top. The work was done efficiently and extremely perfectly finished. We love our kitchen that William and Shane installed years ago, so when we needed the bathroom refaced, there was no question as to who we chose to work with on that project. Their crews treated us in the most courteous and professional manner. The quality of the materials is top notch. I love the frame they installed around the large mirror. The entire job was a dream. We will have them finish the other bathroom as well. Great job!
William Newkirk and his crew did an excellent job on the kitchen remodel. From our first contact with William, we found him to be very easy to work with. He was eager to provide the best customer service possible by offering a wide selection of products within our price range and displaying a high degree of flexibility with scheduling. He also demonstrated a quick response to unexpected events during the process. I appreciated how available he was to be contacted, and when he wasn't immediately available, William would respond back to us in a reasonable amount of time. His estimate of the dates when the cabinets would be delivered and the completion of the job was very accurate, and the time it took to complete the remodel was appropriate. When we had questions about various aspects of the job, William answered them fully and provided reasonable options for us to consider. At the end of each workday, the workers would clean up any mess that had been made. Although the cost of the remodel was considerable, it was not the most expensive quote I was given in my search for companies to perform the job. I consider the cost well worth the results, because the quality of the cabinets, countertops, and workmanship is excellent. William made the remodeling process about as easy as I could envision, and his company will definitely be considered when it comes time for a bathroom remodel.
The team with Kitchen Solvers did an outstanding job. I hired them to completely remodel my kitchen. I was totally satisfied with their craftsmanship and professionalism from the beginning to end of the job. This was my first attempt at any home remodeling. They offered outstanding ideas and helpful hints to assist me during the job. The team was very dependable, showed up as scheduled and always cleaned up after their project. I could not be more pleased and would highly recommend them for any remodeling job.
We used Kitchen Solvers for our kitchen remodel. After getting several quotes, I was very impressed with Will and his excellent communication skills and impeccable attention to detail. From start to finish, Will and every team member that came into our home were very professional, knowledgeable about their craft, and personable. I felt very safe with his team in our house with my small children running around. The kitchen turned out beautifully and we have Will and his team to thank for that. They helped guide us in making design choices when we asked for it, and they fixed any tiny detail that we asked for. Everything was completed in the allotted time frame and Will made sure we were completely satisfied before sending us our final bill. There were no surprises and we were beyond thrilled with the outcome. We genuinely enjoyed getting to know Will, his office staff members, and the guys that worked on the kitchen. Thank you, Kitchen Solvers!
William and his team were very professional and responsive in all interactions. They executed the design within the timeline promised at the project cost quoted and with a very high level of quality. It was a real pleasure working with the team and I would hire them again with no hesitation.
We were extremely impressed with the quality of materials and their ability to work within our budget. They were great helping us come up with a design and colors that worked well with our existing decor. In addition all subcontractors were knowledgeable and courteous as well as neat. The work was completed quickly with a respect for how painful a remodel can be while living in the space. We highly recommend this business.
I can not express enough what a wonderful experience this was working with Shane and Kitchen Solvers. These guys deserve far more than five stars. From start to finish I was completely impressed with Shane and every single worker that came into my home. I have done many remodels before and I will say this was by far the most pleasant. Shane not only had incredible ideas, he never said he couldn't do something I wanted on the design. I knew exactly up front what all the costs were and there was not a single hidden charge. Shane continuously followed up with me. He deserves a huge reward for having to adapt to all the other things going on in my home. Lisa was also fantastic to work with in the office as I picked out cabinets and colors. Kitchen Solvers raises the bar and sets the standards higher than I have ever seen with a contractor. I promise you will not be disappointed with this company. I can truly say I highly recommend them and I actually want to do another kitchen with them.
Overall, we were very satisfied with the results of our kitchen update. The installers (Eric and Nelson) were very professional and very nice to work with during this project. They did pay attention to detail and reacted quickly to any issues brought to their attention. The counter top team was also pleasant to deal with. Their product is probably our favorite result of this redo- very happy we went with quartz material. There was an issue with the preparation of some of the cabinet doors prior to installation. They were proactive in identifying it and immediately ordered new doors with expedited shipping. We appreciated their honesty in this matter. Finally, the job came in at the exact cost of the estimate- unheard of in home projects!
From the first time we met Shane we were impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. The whole experience was very good. The whole crew was very professional and courteous. Great workmanship! They always kept us informed about the schedule. We are extremely glad we picked Kitchen Solvers. Love our new kitchen !!!Oz & Maria Mesa

I've completed all 8 Elite dungeons, and have Blue QL 10 Talismans in every slot! Obviously, the next step is Nightmare modes! But in order to run those, I have to first defeat The Gatekeeper. I'm primarily set up as a Tank (Blade/Chaos if it's important).
How do I defeat this mode? I've figured out that I need to keep him faced away from the green dude that's going to kill him for me, but he seems to periodically one shot me and I just can't avoid it. What am I missing? Are there further phases or mechanics to the fight?
