"Dave, honey. Are you sitting down? We have to talk. Your dad and I have something to tell you."
"What is it, mom? Is everything alright? Are you getting divorced? Is it grandma?"
"No, no. Grandma's fine. But - well, there's no easy way to say this." Mom exhaled. "The Sixers just traded Charles Barkley for Jeff Hornacek, Andrew Lang, and Tim Perry."
That couldn't be right, I thought. She must've misheard.
"What about Kevin Johnson? Or Thunder Dan? And the picks? How many picks, mom?"
She shook her head, like she couldn't even believe the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"No KJ or Majerle. No picks, sweetie."

A Sixers Odyssey is a collection of 76 essays on forgotten players from the last thirty years. Why did everyone boo Kenny Payne on draft night? Where were you the night of the James Anderson Game?
Wait, Tom Chambers played one game for the Sixers?
Authored by a Philadelphian and former 76ers writer, A Sixers Odyssey combines personal memories with exhaustive research to highlight the other guys - the guys not named Charles Barkley or Allen Iverson. From Willie Burton's 53-point game to Jeff Ruland's run-in with a luggage cart, and countless stories in between, A Sixers Odyssey is a humorous journey through the good, the bad, and the forgotten.

Описание: Excerpt from Argument of the Brewers for Legislative Discrimination in Favor of Ale and Lager-Beer: Delivered Before the Joint Special Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature on the Liquor Question, February 14, 1878 In order to point out the difference between fermented and distilled liquors, I will sketch the process of manufacture of ale and beer in its salient points. The process of brewing is simple enough, although it requires skill and experience to carry it out successfully. Brewing and baking are similar in some respects. You know when a baker intends to make a batch of bread, he stirs a ferment which, after some hours, is thickened with flour, and by the addition of water is made into what is technically called the sponge. This is kept in a warm place, when fermentation sets in. The result of this fermentation is carbonic acid, whereby a portion of the starch of the flour is converted into sugar and then into alcohol. It is then baked and a well-baked loaf is composed of an infinite number of cellules, filled with carbonic acid gas. It is this which gives the light, elastic, porous constitution of bread. It has been supposed that by the heat of baking the alcohol formed was wholly expelled, but recent experiments indicate that a perceptible amount of alcohol, amounting to one-third of one per cent in weight, still remains in yeast-raised bread after baking it is much less in stale bread.
