text: Uncontrollable urge to stir the pot, sorry... Did anyone but me notice that Matt implied here that women shouldn't be citizens? I mean, no women in the military and mandatory military duty to become a citizen... hmmm... I suppose we could have women limited to non-combat roles, but less logical people might not come to that conclusion. Ilogical laws sometimes get made because people fail to follow their reasoning all the way to its conclusion. If we try to think our own opinions out to their ultimate conclusions and then vote, perhaps we can help limit the passing of illogical laws.* A draft with no gender boundaries is certainly an "equitable" idea, but the idea of any draft at all is certainly not going to be a popular topic. How about an equally gender-equitable absence of draft? *note: the statements in this particular paragraph are purposefully vague and do not represent a judgement of any kind about Matt's statement or the proposed law. -----Original Message----- From: namron-bounces+muriel=entelesoft.com at ansteorra.org [mailto:namron-bounces+muriel=entelesoft.com at ansteorra.org]On Behalf Of Matthias the Brewer Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 5:24 PM To: Barony of Namron Subject: RE: [Namron] OT: Pending Draft Legislation Targeted for Spring 2005 I was in the Marine Corps for 8 years. I was in a war (Saudia Arabia and Kuwait, 1990-1991) I don't like the idea of ANYONE in combat. But I'm too much of a realist to think that will ever happen. I don't like the idea of women in combat. Mainly based upon my experiences. I did not encounter a single woman in a combat zone whom I respected as a Warrior. Several I respected as a leader, or as a person. But never as a Warrior. I know of a case where a Captain (yes, the fine honorable officer corps) who was arrested with over $20,000 cash on her person in Saudi Arabia before the land war started. The worlds oldest trade. She was shipped out and kicked out. Justly. In a rear area (Al-Jabal, on the coast of Saudi Arabia), EVERY woman Marine (officially referred to as a WM, more popularly referred to as many other things) lived in a special area. Surrounded with armed guards. Every time one of them went ANYWHERE, they had an armed guard with them. The head. The chow hall. To the Batallion COC. Why? Because there were concerns of rape and safety (from both civilian and military). Females do not belong in a combat zone. Women have special requirements and health issues that are awkward (at the very least) in a combat zone. Did I mention that while everyone in country had at least one weapon, only E-6 and above had ammunition? This implies to me that women need special protection? In a war zone? Give me a break. Everyone in a combat zone should be able to protect themselves. This wasn't even near the border. In was in a REAR area. For all their mouthings, those in charge also felt that woman do not belong in combat areas. Else why would they need the guards? I realize some of you will disagree with me. Good!!! That is one of the rights I was willing to die for (ok, but I wasn't very enthusiastic about the dying part) to protect!! Want to discuss it? I'd love it. I'll respect everyone's right to have an opinion. And I'd love to debate it with you!! I have LOTS of opinions, and I'd be happy to debate almost all of them. Women's Liberation? Equal Rights? It'll never happen. It can't happen. Biological reasons. The rules of Man allow for these concepts. And in a perfect world, we'd follow the rules of Man. But Darwin follows the rules of Nature. And in a combat zone, Darwin IS God. Oh, and about the draft? It's good for you. Builds character. Starship Troopers was about a society who learned what freedome was. By fighting for it, and by dying for it. Only after that, could you become a citizen. Heinlen felt that citizenship was a privilage to be earned. Not awarded for surviving puberty. I wish it were closer to reality. I hope I made someone at least question their beliefs, and think a little bit. And as Steven Tyler said, "Life's a journey, not a destination." OK, I'm off my soapbox. For now. _______________________________________________ Namron mailing list Namron at ansteorra.org http://www.ansteorra.org/mailman/listinfo/namron

TUESDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Removing many lymph nodes may not be necessary in women with early breast cancer who also undergo a lumpectomy to remove the mass, followed by radiation.
Researchers reporting in the Feb. 9 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that just removing one or two sentinel nodes -- those lymph nodes to which the cancer spreads first -- allows women to live just as long as women who have more lymph nodes removed from under their arm.
But it's unclear at this point whether this could be practice-changing.
"If you're looking at a woman with a very limited amount of disease in the sentinel node and with a very limited amount of disease undergoing breast conservation surgery [lumpectomy], it may suggest that they can potentially avoid axillary dissection [removing most or all of the lymph nodes under the arm] . . . but that's being said with a lot of caution," noted Dr. Stephanie Bernik, chief of surgical oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, who was not involved with the study. "[But] we can't say that they absolutely can."
Another expert was more emphatic.
"This is an important study," said Dr. Jay Brooks, chairman of hematology and oncology at Ochsner Health System in Baton Rouge, La. "It's the largest randomized trial showing that women with positive sentinel nodes do not necessarily need to have further axillary [underarm] sampling when treated with radiation and/or chemo. This will reduce complications, and will change the way doctors approach patients."
Among other things, removal of lymph nodes can result in a painful and debilitating condition called lymphedema, or swelling, because lymph fluids can no longer travel freely through the body.
The standard of care in breast cancer is still debated but generally, said Bernik, "If you have a positive lymph node, the standard gene

Narrow your search
The public now has access to near-constant images from the International Space Station, Mars rovers and an orbiter circling a distant comet, providing plenty of new "evidence" we are not alone.
In an age of social media and renewed interest in space exploration, 2014 has been a good year for speculative alien and UFO spotting. Crave's Eric Mack has some of the year's craziest "evidence."
Researchers may have found the key to the mystery of ancient flowing water on Mars, but Crave's Eric Mack thinks they've also explained the weird weather in Westeros.
A large comet swooped in close to Mars over the weekend. NASA's orbiters had to hide from the debris, but still captured some great shots.
Apple Pay users report issues purchasing items in apps, and some Bank of America customers are seeing double charges. But the problems aren't all Apple's fault.
A rare close flyby of a comet near Mars put NASA's orbiters in a potentially dangerous situation, but also allowed them to study the moving space object.
The closest look ever at a new comet will happen when the mountain-size comet Siding Spring buzzes past Mars this weekend.
Declaring that "failure is not an option," Alyssa Carson wants to go further than any human has gone before. She's already been to NASA's Space Academy three times.
Humans could begin moving to Mars as soon as 2024 as part of an ambitious Dutch reality-TV/space-exploration project, but a few MIT students say it might not be so simple.
NASA is preparing the new Orion spacecraft for a first test flight. Your name can fly along with it -- eventually to the Red Planet.

Its a hobby that I just got into. I started with old family photos, one of which I did was a similar picture of my great grandfather's general store. I have been going over the shorpy gallery and am working on a couple of others that spoke to me. I plan to contribute heavily to the Colorized Photos gallery which is why I chose the screenname Ted Turner because of his trend of colorizing things in the 80's, though I hope to do a much better job than he did.
I currently am nearly done with this one:
and have just started on this one though it will need some restoration work before I can colorize it:
There's another that I submitted that for some reason wasn't used, but I am excited about how well this one was received. Thank you for all the kind words.
Amazing work. It was already a great pic, but now it looks like you could walk up and ask for a box of Band-Aids. Great job.
You did a great job.
I never thought that I would get to see this photo that I shared in color. You did a wonderful job, outstanding!
I was already an adult at the time this picture was taken and I believe you have done an outstanding and accurate job of adding the correct colors. Your work really does bring the picture to life and instills much greater interest into all the details. Thank you.

So when same sex couples were allowed to legally marry in Minnesota on Aug. 1 of last year, the two didn't rush out and get married on that day as many other couples did. The couple, who together own Talk of the Town Hair Salon, said that was too cliché, too ordinary.
"Everybody was pressuring us to do it (get legally married) on the first day but we want to do it how we want to do it," said Smith Cole. "Everyone was getting married at the courthouse. We're not courthouse people."

The University of Virginia's Darden School of Business celebrated its 50th anniversary today. When it began in 1955, there were only 38 students, all white, all male. Many of them showed up at the event. Now Darden's student population has grown to 600, including both male and females. Of those students, 25 percent are from different countries.
"It's changed so much, we're really an international community that trains people who take over businesses and become great leaders all over the world and were looking forward definitely to the next 50," said Ken White, Communications and Marketing Director for the Darden School.
The Darden school recently ranked eighth on Forbes magazines list of top business schools.

Who Needs A Barber?Posted by on March 9, 2011 – 9:53 am
Ordinarily you'd think a story on the vikings.com Blog about a retired NFL player coming out of retirement would include the name Brett Favre. But not this time. Well, this entry includes Favre's name but the discussion does not center on him.
Instead it centers on RB Tiki Barber, who retired after the 2006 season but has recently filed paper work to return to the NFL. The Giants released a statement saying they'll release him from their retired/reserve list, indicating they intend to release his rights all together and allow him to become a free agent.
So, that begs the question: Where will he land?
I haven't spoken with any Vikings brass and to my knowledge no one from the organization has disclosed an opinion on Barber's chances of landing in Minnesota. My early thought is that he's not a great fit here, but that can always change. As I thought more about it, there were 11 teams that came to mind as candidates to take a serious look at him. After drilling down further, I've eliminated 7 of those teams.
The 4 remaining teams are: Detroit, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Washington.
This is just me speculating and it provides fun discussion during a relatively slow time. Before we get to the teams, bear in mind the limitations associated with Barber. He's going to turn 36 before the season starts, he doesn't represent a realistic option as the feature or #1 RB and he probably has no special teams value. So he's going to take up a roster spot but at the same time his contributions will be limited.
Let's take a look at those 4 teams…
Detroit Lions
Obviously the Lions have a talented young RB in Jahvid Best, be we all know that teams need multiple backs on their roster. The RBs currently on the Lions roster are Aaron Brown, Ian Johnson, Maurice Morris and Kevin Smith. The uncertain climate caused by the CBA makes it difficult to gauge which of these RBs will return to Detroit for 2011, but either way I think Barber represents a potential upgrade at the position.
Pittsburgh Steelers
As is the case with the Lions, the Steelers have a young, talented feature back in Rashard Mendenhall. Pittsburgh also has a talented cast of complementary backs in Mewelde Moore and Isaac Redman as well as youngsters Jonathan Dwyer and James Johnson. Even still, I wouldn't put it past the Steelers organization to take a look at Barber and perhaps find a role for him. The way the Jerome Bettis era ended in the Steel City makes me realize that the franchise knows how to handle a situation such as Barber's and perhaps an organization that is known for making all the right moves will deem giving Barber a flier the right move.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The obvious connection here is that Tiki's twin brother Ronde plays for the Bucs. But there's potential for a logical fit, too. LeGarrette Blount showed some promise last season plus Cadillac Williams is still there, but neither of those guys make it impossible for Barber to find a niche in Tampa. Kareem Huggins and Kregg Lampkin are also there, as is Earnest Graham. But again, none of those names make anyone think a job is unattainable. Keep an eye on this one, if not for the lone reason that Ronde is there.
Washington Redskins
The Redskins just dumped a veteran RB in Clinton Portis, so perhaps they have no interest in acquiring another one in Barber. But head coach Mike Shanahan knows offense and I wouldn't put it past him to think he can squeeze the last little bit out of Barber. The biggest hurdle to Washington adding Barber, assuming they'd have an interest in him (big assumption), is that the RB stable is probably at capacity and there are actually talented players in that stable. Andre Brown, James Davis, Shawnbrey McNeal, Chad Simpson, Ryan Torain, Keiland Williams and Darrel Young are already on the roster, and I'm not sure that Barber represents enough of an upgrade over most of those names to displace a youthful runner with a bigger upside.
What do you all think?

Tiki Barber not a fit here? What crime did he commit?
Alot would depend on money. Is he going to demand millions to come back?
Can he still play? 36 is old for an RB, but it's possible.
He could make a great 3rd down back for the Vikings. If he expects to start over A.D., he might not be worth the trouble.

lets get Tiki Barber..
By Parody on Mar 9, 2011 | Reply
I don't understand the reasoning behind the picks you posted Mike. If I were to take a guess, the first team I would put him with is Indianapolis. They rely mostly on Manning's arm, so there won't be any worry if he's not a 15+ carry per game back. If my memory serves, the Colts had little for a running game last year, and that made a big difference when they got to the playoffs.
By Mike Wobschall on Mar 9, 2011 | Reply
I didn't include the Colts because they have a veteran starter (Joseph Addai) and they have a young guy as their #2 RB (Donald Brown). I don't think he fits there.

we have no need for barber we just have to let the backup we now have and drafted mature he did a decent job last yr when peterson was out. No he's never going to be a featured back but he's strong and on short yardage he will be valuable

Bucs would be the most likely because of Ronde. Besides the fact that he would be a good mentor for Blount.

I think all you people that think barbers washed up, should go stick your head in a hole. Because i believe he would be good for any team. He would be a nice back up or even a nice starter.

He may not even make a roster. From what I have read he's filed divorce, lost his TV gig and needs money really bad. Motivation for sure but the guys been out of it for a few years and he's no spring chicken.
By Jason on Mar 9, 2011 | Reply
Please do not sign Tiki! He's a lockerroom cancer! As soon as he retired, he ran his mouth about Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin because he couldn't muster the courage to say anything to their faces. He's 36 and only trying to come back becase his TV career went down the drain. His heart isn't into playing football. Now that he was a horrible TV personality and is going to have a nice divorce settlement after cheating on his pregnant wife and then leaving her, he needs some quick cash to pay the bills. He's a spineless, yellow bellied coward who doesn't deserve a second chance.

While I don't want Tiki on our team, I believe that he could have actually HELPED Peterson with his fumbling problem. As I recall, Barber used to put the ball on the ground a lot until he accepted coaching that brought his grip on the ball high and tight on his chest. He then became one of the best at holding onto the ball. Peterson should watch some film on the guy…

i am not possitive but AP only had 1 or 2 fumbles all season so tiki and his wife problem should stay in the big apple.Gerhart is going to be just fine backing up the best RB in the nfl. #3 RB will need to fit our style and put one on PS.

Tiki would be a good 3rd down back for us and also a good motivator/trainer for AP to ensure he don't drop the ball at crucial times (didn't last year, but we weren't the same team otherwise).

my dog loves her treats When we are eating she knows we give her a few chews, and she does not beg for them, but eats them and then knows that was her treat and leaves us alone to eat our meal and waits for her meal to be prepared. October 22, 2014
Kitty crack One of my cats is very spoiled and won't eat his wet food without some kind of topper. He loves this stuff! Since it is raw, it doesn't upset his tummy (he has IBD). October 14, 2014

My dog loves them My dog is unable to digest grains. She is a bit picky about what she eats. She begs for these treats and gobbles them down quickly. August 5, 2014
NOT Crunchy! I got these hoping to have a crunchy, limited ingredient, turkey treat for my IBD cat. She can no longer have any kibble, and misses the crunch at times. She does love the taste of these, but I'm not so sure they agree with her guts and they definitely weren't what I was expecting. They are basically the same as this brand's freeze dried raw food.

Stella Loves Them! My dog loves these! Due to her living conditions, prior to my adopting her, she had lost quite a few teeth. These treats are soft, unlike a lot of others, so they are easy for her to chew. July 31, 2014

MA – April 23, 2013 -- The National Association for
Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE), the
nation's leading organization focused on promoting entrepreneurship through
community colleges, has named two additional educators to its 2013 roster of
NACCE Fellows.
Joining the four NACCE fellows named in
January are Syracuse University's Entrepreneur in Residence John Liddy and Doan
Winkel, an assistant professor in the Department of Management and Quantitative
Methods at Illinois State University. Their one-year fellowships will include providing leadership
development training at six regional NACCE Summits and the annual NACCE conference,
as well as conducting research on the topic of entrepreneurial leadership.
"John Liddy and Doan Winkel are great additions to the NACCE
Fellows team," said NACCE Executive Director Heather Van Sickle. "They both
have shown tremendous leadership skills in the field of entrepreneurship
education. John created the Student Sandbox at Syracuse University; this
12-week program leads students through business creation and is now being
adopted by other institutions. Doan Winkel created The Entrepreneurship
Education Project, a forum of nearly 400 educators from over 70 countries who
are collaboratively learning how to create and deliver entrepreneurship
education. We're certain John and Doan can inspire NACCE members to become leaders
of entrepreneurship in their own communities."
The NACCE Fellows Program is designed to benefit members across the
country by increasing their access to research and education that will help
them support and grow entrepreneurship in their communities. Fellows were
previously named in the areas of community outreach and curriculum and
training. Funding for the 2013 NACCE Fellows program has been provided by the Coleman Foundation, a
long-standing partner of NACCE.

Drugs conspiracy gang jailed for total of almost 50 years
Last updated at 17:40, Friday, 22 February 2013
A gang that flooded Cumbria's streets with cocaine has been jailed for almost 50 years.
The eight men and one woman from across the county were caught after a police sting into the supply of cocaine and other drugs in a conspiracy that spanned two and a half years.
It was brought crashing down by a squad of detectives who snared the ring and put an end to the dealing in two undercover operations named Silkworm and Adder.
The ringleader, Luke Babester, 39, was described as "a jack of all trades " and "at the top of the hierarchy" and was sentenced to 12 years at Carlisle Crown Court for conspiracy to supply cocaine, money laundering and converting money into counterfeit coins.
Judge Paul Batty QC handed out sentences to nine defendants totalling 49 years and four months.
Dearham's Steven Smith, 32, the man "in charge" of the operation in west Cumbria was jailed for 10 and a half years for conspiring with others to supply cocaine and methcathinone, also known as mephedrone or Miaow Miaow.
Smith, who ran the Sunkissed Tanning Salon in Maryport and Smith's Gym in Cockermouth, obtained bulked up cocaine from Babester for onward distribution.
Judge Batty said Smith's business were "a convenient shield" for his criminal activity. His counsel said he was a "hard-working family man".
Carlisle's Roger Fox, 38, of Greta Avenue, was jailed for nine years and nine months for conspiring with others to supply cocaine, between February 14, 2012 and April 7, 2012. He committed the offences while on licence for a previous drug conviction.
In 2008, he was jailed for eight years for running a lucrative cocaine operation.
The court was told he used to meet Babester in The Beehive pub at Eamont Bridge, near Penrith, to exchange cash and drugs.
When he was arrested he had £15,400 cash on him.
After Fox and Babester, from Kendal, were arrested, the supply of cocaine was "cut off" so Steven Smith turned to Michael Britland and Clint Tinsley from St Helens for the provision of cocaine.
Britland and Tinsley made trips to Smith's Towncroft home on what police say were drug runs.
Judge Batty said: "The precise amount is quite impossible to quantify. Each of you was in this loathsome trade for profit and some of you made significant profits trading as you all did on human misery.
"All of you were involved in the supply of controlled drugs here in Cumbria. The drugs were cocaine and mephedrone.
"The drugs had come into the county from different sources – certainly from Liverpool and from the Leicester area and other established trade routes.
"Cocaine of high purity was being bashed and bulked up and, with the assistance of cutting agents, increased in value. It was put out on the streets with a 10 per cent purity."
Also sentenced was Steven Smith's brother, Martin Smith, 31, of Grange Avenue, Flimby. He was jailed for two years and five months and had pleaded guilty to conspiring to supply methcathinone or its derivatives, between March 1 and May 22 2012.
At Martin Smith's home police found a bundle of cash – £1,260 inside a building society book and cash, £3,540, in a tin. He admitted that what he had done was a "one-off". He was said to be "extremely remorseful".
Grant Robertson, 28, of Barepot, Workington, was jailed for three years. He had pleaded guilty to the same charge. He also admitted possessing 212 counterfeit £1 coins.
Mum-of-six Angela Clark, 52, of Robert Owen Avenue, Cleator Moor, was jailed for three years. She was convicted of conspiring with others to supply methcathinone between March 1 and May 22 last year and possessing a quantity of amphetamine.
She was said to have found her first days in custody "extremely difficult and distressing."
Judge Batty said Clark played a "significant role" and that the evidence against her was "utterly overwhelming".
Andrew Robinson, 33, of Holly Bank, Whitehaven, pleaded guilty to possessing mephedrone.
He was given a nine month prison sentence suspended for two years for possessing the drug mephedrone.
Greg Hoare, in mitigation, said: "He became, in dire circumstances, addicted to mephedrone.
"His relationship got into difficulty and soured and he was left on the brink of bankruptcy. The worry over his debts and the involvement in this case has led him to have a very difficult year. His personal life is now back on track. He was the least involved of all the defendants."
Judge Batty told Robinson: "I hope this case is a wake up call for you.

He imposed a nine-month prison sentence suspended for two years and gave Robinson a 12-month supervision order. He must also be the subject of an electronically monitored curfew from 7pm to 6am.
Mechanic Stephen Neill, 34, of Kendal, was jailed for five years and three months. He pleaded guilty to conspiring with others unknown to supply cocaine, between February 14 and April 7 2012.
Michael Britland, 30, of St Helens, was jailed for three years and four months for conspiring to supply cocaine.
Tinsley will be sentenced on March 22.
Detective Inspector Mike Brown, of Cumbria police, said the sentences were the result of "a great deal of hard, painstaking work".
"Although crime is low in Cumbria, we are not naive and, as this case demonstrates, we know that there are some people who set their sights on being "kingpins" in the drugs trade," he said.
"Some, like Babester, will go to great lengths to cover up the large profits they make from criminal activity by setting up and laundering money through what look like legitimate businesses. He was drawing vast amounts of cash from these businesses to support things like his £1,500 per month rental on a luxury property and thousands of pounds on jewellery and nights away."
Judge Batty hit out at the "appalling detrimental effect" the drug is having on socially deprived areas of west Cumbria.

- Would definately recommend ..a little gem!TishieDined on 11/14/2014Found this restaurant via online search and chose it because of menu and BYOB. It is a not a large dining room but not noisy like some places so conversation across table was done with ease. Everyone in our party was happy with their selections, our server was pleasant and timing of everything was very good. We all agreed it was a "find" and after such a lovely evening, we will be coming back.Special Features:
- Seatingnice1234VIPDined on 11/1/2014Had a reservation and were the first people seated in the restaurant; however were seated in a terrible spot in front of the door. Complained and were moved to a more suitable spot.....don't forget the first rule ....customers come first.Special Features:
- ServiceNiniDined on 10/29/2014Too many interruptions by the waitress. Enjoy the food and settingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice local placerickfink22VIPDined on 10/24/2014The former ice cream shop has been much improved. We started with a split of 3 crostinis and a salad, which they were nice to split. Both the seared scallops and hanger steak were well prepared and presented. A fair value, BYOB local spot.Special Features:
- crowded, noisy, small portionsAJ9841Dined on 10/11/2014Very small living-room space in older home. Only two servers for a full -house. Overall quite noisy to too noisy to have a conversation at our own table. The food was fair, an inspired menu but small portions for the price. The apple cider doughnut holes with caramel sauce were the hit of the evening.
- Great Food but LOUDRNJoyce12Dined on 10/4/2014My husband I went there for our anniversary. It looked like a remodeled house, inside and out. Which was cute and homey. The food was very good and the waitstaff was attentive...but the noise level was out of control. It completely took away from our romantic evening. The owners should really consider bringing in a decorator who specializes in sound control. Maybe even adding some carpet would help.Special Features:
- ExcellentExcellentVIPDined on 9/27/2014Was visiting a friend and selected this from OT website - everything was outstanding. Would definitely go back - only drawback to evening was that we did not know prior that liquor was not available to purchase - people did bring their own wine, but we were not aware prior to going. Sparkling water had to do!Special Features:
- delicious!KKROLVIPDined on 9/24/2014Took a friend for his birthday. As always the food was fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LuluDined on 9/13/2014Very good food and good service. It's an small, charming place and the chef is good. Only complaint - the scallops were on a ridiculously small plate that was actually very hard to eat off of. Really dumb choice of plate. It made us feel ripped off. Put it on a better plate! It's a damn entree!Special Features:
- Birthday celebrationPacmanDined on 9/4/2014This was our first dinner at 252. They were not busy so the noise level was low and the service was prompt. Two of us had loin lamb chops. They were great. Three had scallops. They were also well prepared and fresh. The lobster risotto was the hit if the night along with the freshly made donuts for dessert. Overall a great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very good lunchDaveDined on 8/18/2014nice contemporary décor and refreshing menu, right there in rural NJ!Special Features:
- Good was delicious! Prices not low.Loriho13Dined on 8/15/2014I would go here more often if not so expensive but food, service, ambience all wonderful for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 100 reviews are from the TwoFiftyTwo Restaurant reviews archive.
- Eat early for good serviceLiz1Dined on 7/26/2014We ate at 6 pm on a Sat. night, encountering few others. If the restaurant were full, we suspect that the noise level would have been high (low ceilings, tight quarters, tables close together) and the service slow, as there was only one waitress who also served as maitre d/hostess and hostess of all trades. Finally, prices seemed to be too high, although we recognize that as a BYOB, they need to make their money someplace. Excellent food.Special Features:
- comfortable with great foodsalexDined on 7/25/2014TwoFiftyTwo is one of my favorite restaurants in the area for dinner with friends. Each meal I've had there has been quite good. The scallops are always tasty. The lamb is quite good. The donuts for dessert are a favorite. The strawberry rhubarb pie surprised me by having a mellower taste than I expected in an enjoyable way. On weekends, the dining room can get loud, but not to the point where it's hard to have a conversation. During the week, even quiet conversations are possible.Special Features:
- Hairslisa4uDined on 7/19/2014Nice presentation, Adventurous with out being scary, but to noisiy to appreciate this gemSpecial Features:
- Fantastic Double Date NightmelsferberDined on 6/28/2014We had an 8pm reservation, when the restaurant had called to confirm they let us know that we could come in earlier if we would prefer. Although we couldnt make it earlier, I appreciated the offer. The menu is simple yet there were enough items for some of our pickier eaters (husbands). We started with some appetizers, shared a few sides and each got a different meal. Everyone was extremely pleased with all courses. We were looking for a BYOB that we had never been to before and I think we all were happy with our pick!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurant. Great service!OandBDined on 6/21/2014We love this place. It reminds us of a great restaurant where we vacation. Feels intimate, but not small. We love that it is BYOB and the food is outstanding. Consistently great each time. Highly recommendedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NicewineanddineVIPDined on 6/3/2014Food was pretty good; 3 1/2 to 4 stars. Tasty food of very good ingredients, but a little on the expensive side given the amount of lobster salad on a small croissant and a side of the daily salad: 14 spinach leaves with some vinaigrette ($15).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great findKAL3Dined on 5/24/2014Small restaurant converted from a cute house. No wait, strong service. BYO worked well for us. Food was very good. The bacon date jam with blue cheese and walnut crostini and the warm goat cheese and bacon crostini were delicious. The hangar steak was an absolute standout. We will definitely be back.Special Features:
- Great light lunchLovedluch1Dined on 5/23/2014I had lunch with a friend and it was nice. First time dining and we were wanting salad and soup which were great. Salad portion for full was a bit small and pricey but good. Our waitress was friendly and efficient.Special Features:
- pickyeaterVIPDined on 5/10/20142nd time here and had same odd experience. There's no host/owner to greet you when you enter so both times we stood in the vestibule quite a while until a server noticed us and sat us. Food was ok, but the noise level was really loud and the service just seemed frenetic. For example, one server took our order and collected our menus and then 10 minutes later another server came over to ask if we needed menus or were ready to order.
- Feel free to skip this oneFairAndBalancedVIPDined on 5/10/2014We planned to go to a place we really enjoyed before, but forgot the name. We thought this was it, but were mistaken. (Instead of TwoFiftyTwo, we were looking for One 53 in Rocky Hill! By the way, One 53 was fantastic -- great food and atmosphere -- we recommend it.) Alas, we found ourselves at this place, which was dull and boring. Food was mediocre. Service was HORRIBLE. No hostess (one waitress appeared to be running the entire show). Unbussed tables sat nearby during the entire first part of our meal. We had to ask for silverware at least 3 times during the evening. Dishes were dropped more than once in the kitchen area. Bathroom door had no lock on it. No capuccino for after dinner. Wanted to charge $0.50 each for extra bread!
- Enjoyable eveningJano48VIPDined on 4/26/2014We arrived for a 8:30 table for 4 on a Saturday night, and were informed that our table had not yet been vacated by earlier diners. So we had a bottle of our BYO wine opened which we enjoyed in the entry area. After 30 minutes the waitress apologized once more that the diners would not vacate, but we would receive crostini and dessert on the house. We felt the waitresses handled the situation well. Immediately upon being seated we were served a platter of delicious crostini, and piping hot biscuits. Some new menu items were introduced that night. The scallop dish with corn purée was amazing! Cod was good but needed a sauce and some more flavoring. Risotto was very good. Donuts were hot and delicious. Looking forward to returning soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedlteatDined on 4/25/2014After reading publicized reviews including the Chef's vision, we were very disappointed with our dining experience. It took 30 minutes for the 1 and only waitress (20 diners and 8 tables) to take our order. Food portions relative to price points were way off. My husband had the scallops served on a small plate for $28 and I had the hanger steak which had good flavor but was small portion and very dry. "Sides" were additional, about $8 each. Portions were more like a tasting menu. We decided to try the 252 dessert - and once again found description better than execution. Understanding all ingredients are organic 252 needs a reality check on price vs. value and the importance of service (as compared to other restaurants in the area).Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/25/2014Great lunch options- 1/2 salad or sandwich with yummy home made soups! a petite but satisfying meal.Special Features:
- Great local BYOLovetoTravelVIPDined on 4/5/2014This is a tiny, cute BYO restaurant. We had 8:30 dinner reservations. Our table was ready when we arrived. The food was wonderful and the service even better. Two people in our party had the hanger steak. It had a very tasty marinade and was extremely tender. Two others in our party had the Bass, it also was cooked perfectly. They recently hired a new pastry chef. We had three different desserts and each one was better then the next. Since our reservations were so late, we were one of the last ones and never felt rushed. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall good food. ServiceRussVIPDined on 4/5/2014Overall good food. Service was very friendly, but spotty at times.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BYOBJaneDined on 4/5/2014This restaurant is small but a nice modern dining room. Wit staff is very good. Was willing to split all salads and even entrees for the all of us (3 couples). Hanger steak and chicken were delicious. Good desserts. Definitely recommend this place.Special Features:
- Great surpriseKathyVIPDined on 3/29/2014I had been to Two fifty Two for lunch and enjoyed it, but found the dinner to be even better. Our wait person was friendly and knew the menu like she put it together. Very enjoyable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always goodOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 3/27/2014My wife and I have been to Two Fifty Two numerous times. The food and service are always top notch. This is a tiny BYOB dining spot with about 15 tables in a converted house. The service people are always very hospitable and are ready with their suggestions/favorites. Great spot for an anniversary or birthday celebration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a lot of ingredients but no flavorjeffgtiVIPDined on 3/22/2014the wait staff was pleasant but maybe due to only two we had to keep asking to have our water glasses refilled. i cannot even remember what i had to start, i guess it was that un-memorable. the pork chop had all kinds of stuff piled on top but no flavor, certainly needed at least some salt.
- Creative menuBufrportDined on 3/22/2014This was my third time to 252 as the food is fresh and the flavors match so well to the dish no over spicing. Our waitress was also the pastry chef which was fun and yes my husband and I both had a dessert who knew bread pudding after a big meal did not seem heavy at all! We will be back as they change the menu seasonally.Special Features:
- Outstanding!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/21/2014First time here and it was a great experience. The food was excellent. I had the crostini flight to begin and it was delicious. Had the hanger steak as my entree and it was cooked perfectly. I don't have one bad comment about this place. Cannot wait to go back!Special Features:
- Pleasantly SurprisedGeezerDined on 3/15/2014We passed this place often on way to other restaurants - finally gave it a try and were very pleasantly surprised! Mussels were the best I have ever had. Everything is very good, but don't pass up desert!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Valentines MealKellyVIPDined on 2/15/2014We enjoyed the most wonderful dinner over the Valentines weekend. We were a bit hesitant following poor experiences at other local restaurants that had prix fixe menus, so we were quite nervous about how the night would turn out. We were pleasantly surprised- this is one of the best meals that we have had in years! From start to finish, each course was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious! I wish the lobster risotto could become a regular menu item! The servers were very attentive and genuine. We can't wait to come back for another wonderful meal!Special Features:
- 252 equals a 10!LovetodineoutVIPDined on 2/15/2014My husband and I tried 252 for a Saturday night Valentine's Day dinner. I read the reviews ahead of time and was sure to wear layers (I read the restaurant is cold) and I expected the restaurant to be a little loud. We got a table for two in a little alcove and the temp was fine, not hot, not cold. This location was ideal! We loved it. We had the crostini's and they were great! The beat salad was ok but I will pass on that next time and get the clams for an appetizer. The sea bass and scallops were delicious. We can't wait to go back again! I highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentAnonymousVIPDined on 2/14/2014We had the Valentine's Day prix fixe dinners. The dishes were creative and delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A hidden GemVickyDined on 2/14/2014252 is a lovely restaurant in a small house in Bedminster. Park in the back, enter through the back door, step through a curtain and take your seat at one of the 10 tables. Your food adventure starts. Try the crostinis, the lamb dishes and the gelato. Reservations needed BYOSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This relatively small restaurantScotpatDined on 2/1/2014This relatively small restaurant has a nice atmosphere and, although the sound level was quite high you could still hear each other without having to raise your voice. The menu has an interesting variety of entrees but unfortunately my choice of the black bass was not available by the time I ordered. I had the cornish game hen which was good and had very tasty side along wth it. My wife's steak was, apparently, excellent. The doughnuts with apple cider dip for dessert were really good! The restaurant is not licensed so bringing your own wine makes for a good meal at a very reasonable price. I would recommend it for couples and small groups up to about 6, possibly 8 people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall, we really enjoyedjbraiz13Dined on 2/1/2014Overall, we really enjoyed our time at 252. We were not rushed through our meal at all, which was very fresh and full of flavor.Very nice ingedients and good portion sizes. We would definately return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Hmm. I wonder if that sign was in the Baker's Dairy truck that used to deliver our milk in the 1950s in Moline, Illinois. The milkman, Bill something or other, had had the route for ages, and he sometimes allowed a couple of us kids to ride to the end of the block with him. The milk was cooled with ice, and he would chip off a piece for us in the summer. The truck looked a lot like this one.
Is that a Sealtest Butter ration card we see above the window? I understand that butter was rationed in 1943 - not that I am old enough to know.
[It's not a ration card, but it does show the "consumer point value" of a pound of butter. - Dave]
Gas Motor/Generator and Electric motor on the rear axle. Just like a train locomotive. The giveaway is the wood roof (canvas outside) The Divco Twin while still having a trolley/street car cab, also had a metal roof. Based on personal experience driving a Divco with a stand-up clutch/brake system, the Walker Electric was likely much easier to master. Not that the Divco was hard, you just had to get you head around balancing and driving with one foot and very different throttle/gas pedal.
[The van Mrs. Joyce is driving would seem to be purely electric -- there's no radiator grille. - Dave]
This looks like a Walker electric truck.
That vehicle is to ergonomics what Picasso's "The Weeping Woman" is to beauty.
That plaque over your head is unambiguous, if my old eyes are reading it correctly:
It looks like she is driving a back porch around the neighborhood.
I'd hate to be in one of those during a collision.

How many tragedies did Shakespeare write, and what are some of the titles?
3 Answers | Add Yours
There are some plays that don't neatly fit into categories, or that seem to span categories. For example, "Julius Caesar" could be considered a history or a tragedy. "Pericles" could be considered a romance or a tragedy. So the number of tragedies Shakespeare wrote can be disputed. I'd put the number at around 14: "Romeo and Juliet," "Macbeth," "Othello," "Hamlet," "TItus Andronicus," "Pericles," "Cymbeline," "Troilus and Cressida," "Timon of Athens," "King Lear," "Coriolanus," "Julius Caesar," Antony and Cleopatra."
It is generally accepted that Shakespeare wrote 10 tragedies during his life time with one that is still disputed . (Cymbeline - which was regarded in his first Folio as a tragedy yet most agree today it is a romance)
William Shakespeare's Tragedies are as follows:
Romeo and Juliet
King Lear
Titus Andronicus
Julius Caesar
Antony and Cleopatra
Timon of Athens
Shakespearean tragedies feature a main character (s) with a tragic flaw that brings about his or her downfall. Easiest way to look at a Shakespearean tragedy is to know that the Tragic Hero is doomed and usually dies. The redemption in a Shakespearean Tragedy usually comes from someone close to the Tragic hero or the Tragic Hero himself realizing the tragic flaw and what the flaw has done to destroy his life. Where some would say that Shakespeare's view of human existence is the we are all doomed by forces that are oft times beyond our control( either fate or urges that are inherent in the human condition) . Shakespeare wrote most of his most famous tragedies during the time period of 1601 - 1608. Most English Classes in High School cover Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and Hamlet. Some AP courses might cover Othello or King Lear depending on the teacher and the course content. If you love tragedy and enjoy reading Shakespeare you may want to try: Antony and Cleopatra and Titus Andronicus.
as i saw he has like 11 tragedies, 17 comedies, 10 histories, and 8 poems.

I wanted to make something quick and easy with what I had on hand in the pantry. DH enjoys green bean casserole, I had a package of beef flavored noodles, and one pound of ground round so decided to combine everything and make this a one pot meal. Served with Tricia Foley's Best Ever White Bread (Abm).

I'd like to test the guesting feature :)
Posted Wed, Aug 08, 2012 by Martuk
We will be conducting a stress test on Thursday, August 9 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time.
The stress test is open to anyone who has pre-purchased Guild Wars 2.
We will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed. Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch. By participating in this stress test, you're helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we'll see you in-game! ~RB2
Pre-order customers can join in on the test Thursday, August 9th from 12:00pm PT to 4:00pm PT. So clear your calendars and get your fix. It's still a few weeks until launch.
