The City's message to Eurosceptics: where's your plan?
Ukip's free-trade plans do not chime with those of business
A few years ago Ukip started a campaign to recruit more donors from the City of London. Surely there could be no more fertile ground for the campaign against Brussels' socialist meddling than the hard-nosed, deep-pocketed bankers of the Square Mile?
The party met with relatively little success, despite Nigel Farage's well-connected past as a commodities trader. In fact, as a report by the law firm Clifford Chance written for TheCityUK lobby group made clear yesterday, the City is increasingly attached to Brussels. Despite the EU's bonus cap, restrictive employment laws and the enmity shown towards London's finance sector, bankers are still Europhiles.
Ukip fans can simplistically put this down to the groupthink of the "metropolitan elite", but like all of Britain's biggest industries the…

Placer County Officials Warn of Scammers
A scam promising big prize money is targeting people living in Placer County.
The word from the Sheriff's Department in Placer County is that residents are being targeted by scammers who call or text with a claim of being with the Publisher's Clearing House. The victims are told they've won and should go to Wal-Mart or K-mart and purchase Greendot cards.
They are then instructed to call in the card numbers, and money on the card then disappears along with the person staging the scam. The phone number given was traced to Jamaica and is not associated with Publisher's Clearing House.


text: Hi Keith! LoadWithPartialName may be indeed removed as the build-time warning suggests suggests. There is a good reasoning behind removing the method (what version, from where, etc ... would the method call load? I think there is a blog out there that talks more about the reasoning: http://blogs.msdn.com/suzcook/archive/2003/05/30/57159.aspx When the method is removed, IronPython will have to cease using it. At the alpha-stage of the development we chose to take advantage of it, but we will find a long-term solution in the due time. The test skipping Pystone, Parrotbench and CPython regression test suites is correct behavior. These tests are not shipping with our code so I wrote the test script so that if it doesn't find them in expected locations, it will skip the tests. Once I am back in Redmond, I am going to post instructions where from to download what to get the tests running. At least pystone and partotbench. Problem with CPython regression test suite is that we had to make few modifications to the test suite code to get it running so it may be more complicated to get those tests running. However, as we work on running the CPython tests (one of major items on our list from now on) the need for modifying them will be less and hopefully soon everyone will be able to run them without modifications.

Many of us have heard stories by word of mouth and chain emails concerning a supposedly new phenomenon related to the behavior of native rattlesnakes of the south and southwest, alongside the presence of a growing number of the more recently introduced feral hogs.
The story goes that a thriving and growing population of feral hogs in this region has introduced a new behavior in rattlesnakes to generally cease from rattling in order to avoid detection by the hogs that are supposedly known to charge at a rattlesnake giving such a warning, as a desired source of food.
This theory assumes rattlesnakes are known or proven to have previously rattled more often before the increase in hog population than they have in recent years. Some have said, though, that rattlesnakes simply do not rattle that often---only as a last resort when directly provoked.
It also implies that the snakes must have each personally or nearly encountered a threatening herd of feral hogs a number of times in order to develop this new behavior of self-preservation.
If this was true, and these snakes previously survived these early encounters before the new learned behavior, would they see hogs as posing a serious threat at all?
It also seems the popular emails devoted to this subject lose some credibility when comparing their stories to their attached photos. The most common emails, with stories related to Texas, feature a photo of a giant eastern diamond-backed rattlesnake, which is native primarily to Georgia and Florida. Some have rarely been spotted in eastern Louisiana, but certainly not in a natural setting in Texas.
It has been documented that feral hogs have been known to eat rattlesnakes, but this is apparently the exception and not the rule.
I'll admit that before some research I had not experienced or learned enough about this subject to begin to form a personal opinion. After this research, though, I found that my peers make some compelling arguments based upon evidence and personal experiences.
I'm left with the opinion that this phenomenon is not impossible or absolutely discredited, but that it is unlikely to be true.
With a few exceptions by county regulation, there is no closed season for the hunting of feral hogs, as their prevalence and destruction to ranch and farm operations is common and widely known throughout the state. And as for rattlesnakes, well, you be the judge.
It would be interesting to gain some new insight on this subject from some folks who may have personally observed the behavior of either of these two species recently or over a number of years.

Caption It: Which Caption Should Win?
I honestly thought every caption suggested for this image from The Hangover was very funny and very smart:
So it was tough to decide on finalists this week! But I had to do it, and now it's your turn to vote on which one is the best.
- Friends Don't Let Friends . . . have a drunken encounter with a chicken.
- "Oh, crap! I hooked up with a chicken last night. I wonder who came first — me or the chicken?"
- "Oh! My mates even warned me the chick I was hooking up with was foul!"
- "Gee, Heather Graham isn't as hot as she used to be."
- "This is the last time I order an escort from hotchicks.com."

I received a call last week from Marie to tell me that Kerry Burgin was in the hospital. She was having some health issues and we want to let her know that we are praying for her. Thank you, Marie, for the update.
I heard also that Sonny and Barbara Stewart will be visiting their daughter a while before they come home. Hurry home — we miss you!
We want to wish Donna Moore happy birthday even though it is a little late. Please forgive us. Your daughter-in-law, Sharon, e-mailed me asking me to remember to mention your birthday in my column this week.
Controversy has arisen about trees leafing out. Last week I mentioned the old saying, "If pecan trees haven't leafed out there is still a chance of frost." Well, I had another call, and they said that it was the "bois d'arc tree." Can anyone help me out? Which way have you heard it? I guess it doesn't really matter now that both have leafed out. You've gotta love Texas weather.
Don't forget the Brashear Baptist Youth Fundraiser this Saturday evening, March 31. There will be good food — chili and stew will be served — and an auction. Hope to see you there. The money raised will help the kids go to camp this summer.
The Hope Community Fellowship last Saturday night was awesome. We had 21 people the first Saturday night. We had 33 people last Saturday night. If you are looking for a place to worship because you work on Sunday morning or do not have a church home, check it out. The Praise and Worship services are currently being held every other Saturday night at 110 Glover St. in Sulphur Springs
We love family, and this weekend we will be having our family over to celebrate our March birthdays. Matt, Sable and Colby all celebrate their birthday within two weeks of each other. We will be having good food, fishing, kite flying, and an Easter Egg hunt. We hope that the Blackie, our dog, doesn't eat all of the eggs.
I would like to wish all of you a blessed week. Remember to call me at 903-612-8806; e-mail me at youngdede60@gmail. com; or come on by our place on County Road 1119 with news you would like to have put in the paper.

I am close to finishing the 1st chapter of my 3rd fanfic, which I'm going to put on "fanfiction.net" but I decided to put a little preveiw of the first few lines on my blog page:
I ran as fast as I could through the shadowed streets of Volterra, while still remaining concealed from the humans, it would take me a few minutes to run to the town to the forest which marked the edge of my home. I foolishly hoped that as I ran I would leave behind all the memories I had of her... Bella Swan...... (to be continued on Fanfiction.net)

I've got this kid. Let's call him Sam.
Sam's one of those kids. Sam has the ability to exude disapproval and annoyance from across the room. Sam is bossy and loud and is completely unaware of boundaries. Sam is of the opinion that the greatest tragedy in the whole of human history is that the world does not, in fact, revolve around him, and he takes every opportunity to try to change that. He's quick to judge others, with an almost vicious harshness, for the very same transgressions that others find particular to him, and he has no inkling of the irony. He is hypocritical in the extreme and seems to take great delight in being the victim, even when no crime has occurred.
Sam also can't tell time.
Sam has senior privileges and can come to and leave school according to his class schedule. Sam has been late to our English class 9 times since the semester began. We don't meet every day, so nine times works out to be a significant portion of the class. Also? He's can't just come quietly into the class. No; Sam's got to make an entrance. Sam's got to be noticed. Sam's got to distract the kids who did show up on time and who are trying to get some work done at the beginning of class. In fact, Sam proudly announced today that he had no excuse for being late; he just blew off his alarm clock.
Today was my straw day. The same four kids, of which Sam is a sort of ceremonial figurehead, sauntered into my room anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes late for class, even after the talking-to I've been giving them for the last month or so about the importance of showing up to scheduled events on time. Today, I dropped the hammer. This little band of merry delinquents will be sharing a silent lunch with me tomorrow as detention, and they will do so again every day they choose to arrive for class on their own schedule.
Everyone but Sam took the news like men; Sam, of course, put up a stink. "I get to leave after this period; I have senior privileges," he told me, not a little petulantly. My response was that senior privileges are just that, privileges, and can be revoked if they are abused. Since Sam is late to class far more than he's on time, I am revoking his privilege to leave tomorrow; he'll be dining with me, instead, and perhaps, though it seems too much to ask, he'll be ruminating on the importance of being prompt.
*Edited to include* Did I call it, or what? It seems Sam is "too stressed out" to sit quietly for 40 minutes and serve a lunch detention. He went to the counselor and raised a big enough stink that he was capitulated to. I have officially given up on this kid; I'll give him the 70 he needs to graduate and say "good riddance." Have fun stormin' the castle, Kid, and don't come back.

New York • They're hot, yet many investors have no idea what they do.
These mutual funds go by a few names, and it doesn't help that some are inscrutable like "liquid alts," but they generally fall under an umbrella known as alternative mutual funds. Managers of alternative funds pitch that they can offer smoother returns than traditional stock and bond funds because they have access to more trading tools and markets. And their popularity is surging, though they come with their own risks and generally higher fees.
Investors plugged a net $35 billion into alternative mutual funds over the last 12 months, according to Morningstar. That's more than went into bond mutual funds and nearly as much as into diversified U.S. stock funds. The growth is more striking in percentage terms because many alternative funds are still relatively young and small. Over the last year, total assets of alternative funds have grown by 30 percent, not including investment gains.

USES: Nitroglycerin ointment is used to prevent chest pain (angina) in people with a certain heart condition (coronary artery disease). This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as nitrates. Angina occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood. This drug works by relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily to the heart.This medication will not relieve chest pain once it occurs. It is also not intended to be used just before physical activities (such as exercise, sexual activity) to prevent chest pain. Other medications may be needed in these situations. Consult your doctor for more details.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet available from your pharmacist. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.Avoid touching the ointment with your fingers. Carefully squeeze out your dose onto a paper dose-measuring applicator. These applicators are supplied with the medication. Place the paper applicator with the ointment side down onto a dry, hairless area of skin, usually on the chest. Do not rub the ointment into the skin. Using the paper, lightly spread the ointment to cover an area of a size directed by your doctor. Tape the paper applicator into place and cover with plastic wrap to avoid staining your clothing. Wash your hands after applying and removing the medication.Apply this medication usually 3 to 4 times daily or as directed by your doctor. Remember to use a different area for each application. It is important to apply this medication at the same times each day. Do not change the dosing times unless directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Remove the medication daily as directed by your doctor.Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not stop using this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased.Although unlikely, when this medication is used for a long time, it may not work as well and may require different dosing. Tell your doctor if this medication stops working well (for example, you have worsening chest pain or it occurs more often).

busy real-life weeks make for slow blogging weeks, but we do have a nice nugget for thursday. this evening at the oakley pub & grill, liz, avani, and lauren over at cincinnati imports are hosting the first-ever get-together and happy hour for, um, well, cincinnati imports.
as what you might call a mixed family (i was raised here, carole not so much not at all), we wondered whether we qualified, or whether i would be asked to stay home while carole mingled with a crew that didn't care where she went to high school and didn't get the whole east side/west side thing and thought that "cornhole" and "three-way" were terms not mentioned in polite company, and certainly not with the gusto and enthusiasm displayed by many queen cityites.
but we've been assured that all are most welcome, that being an import is as much a mindset as a geographic fact, that all it takes is a little curiosity about other people from other places. maybe we'll see you there.

this was almost a post about terry's turf club, but we had been advised to get there around 5:30 if we wanted a seat and we did not heed that advice. so when we showed up, friends in tow, at 7:30 the place was PACKED and the wait was long and we thought perhaps it would be best to go elsewhere. and that elsewhere was nada.
now, nada is not the kind of place we intended to head on this particular saturday evening. we were seeking a casual joint for a quickish, comfortable bite to eat; nada is a little pricier, a little more sit-down-y, a bit more scene-y than we were geared up for. but we shifted gears, headed downtown, and made a mexican night of it.
it took a while to get a table, but the people-watching and margaritas eased the pain. it really is a scene — even the best-dressed real man in america showed up. so did a quintent of blondes, loudly celebrating their bff's last night as a single woman. and i'm thinkin' a few things didn't show up: the rest of the poor black skirt that otherwise ended at a nice young woman's crotch; the back of a dress that dipped low enough to reveal a colorful thong. no wonder i was worried about overdressing.
fortified with tequila and a few good shots of snark, we sat down to a fun meal of really good food . apps included the sopes and queso fundido, which we inhaled and would certainly return for. entrees included tinga poblana cazuela (a tasty spiced shredded chicken stew served in an iron pot) and the mahi-mahi soft tacos. (i liked that the fish was oh-so-fresh. i did not like the absence of mango, which for better or worse, i really gotta have in my fish tacos.)
the scene at nada may not have been our scene (or more accurately, was a bit more scene than we were ready for), but at least now we know how to dress to fit in next time. and the food is the real deal — good stuff, well-prepared, and most definitely not your average tex-mex take on south-of-the-border cuisine.
but we still gotta get to terry's. i've a feeling we've already got the right attire.

perhaps the folks at the nytimes have decided that if the local paper ain't going to cover much of the local cultural scene, they'll pick up the slack. for the second week running, the sunday arts section has an article on cincinnati music — or maybe more accurately, music with cincinnati roots.
this one's on the heartless bastards, more specifically a piece on frontwoman erika wennerstrom, who's got "a voice as big and lonesome as the prairie and a mild presence that grows tenfold when she plugs in her guitar." a couple of years ago, before we moved to cincinnati, i remember hearing this song and really liking it. little did i know i was supporting local music even then.
the article's narrative is one of both rebirth and return: wennerstrom, having broken up with her former bandmate and moved (to austin, tx), is now fronting the original lineup of bastards — all of this, of course, in time for a new album, the mountain, just released this week.

we do most of our grocery shopping at biggs. not all of it, but enough of it that it seemed worthwhile to sign up for their gas program with sunoco. it works like this:
every $10 dollars you spend at biggs earns you a discount of 1¢ per gallon on gas at (participating) sunoco stations. some items earn you additional savings: for example, last sunday every gallon of milk purchased earned you an 15¢ discount per gallon .
now, i wasn't sure how this would add up when it came down to it. i didn't want to be tempted to buy things i don't usually buy, or eat, or need, and i don't usually buy gas at sunoco. (in fact, up until a few weeks ago i couldn't even have told you where one was located.) but it seemed worth trying, so i signed up.
and! last sunday i filled our tank for the first time using our accumulated discount. as i watched the digital numbers flip past on the led screen i thought something was wrong. it took a few moments for me to register what was up (or rather, down): for the first time in my gas-buying life, the numbers showing the gallons purchased was lower than the numbers showing the cost to me. that's right, folks: gas under a buck. actually, gas at 79¢/gallon.
i dunno where you buy your food or your gas. but if you're looking for a discount, and there's a participating sunoco station near you, this just might be your deal of the week.

there's a full-page article in yesterday's ny times about cincinnati's own musical legacy, embodied by king records. the author illustrates (unintentionally or not) the patchwork heritage of the city. according to the article, king records' influence was neglected in part because, as locally based music editor and author larry nager points out, "'cincinnati was settled by good, solid german folk' …. 'to them, honest work was making soap and killing pigs, not making music or cutting records.'" on the other hand, when mentioning a visit to the grave of a king bandleader in a formerly blacks-only cemetery, the author mentions parenthetically that cincinnati is "in many ways a Southern town" (ostensibly to explain a segregated cemetery). to say nothing of the jewish influence that played a big role in king records. the heroes of the article have to be bootsy collins, who takes seriously the mission of keeping king records' legacy alive, and syd nathan, the contrarian owner of king records, who brought together hillbilly and r&b, and exhibited a color-blindness rare in the day in the running of the record company.
so that's us, just sittin' here on the ohio river confounding categories for over two hundred years. king is the perfect musical legacy of a city founded by germans, with a significant but largely separate jewish population, and balanced (or occasionally not) by an influx of african americans and appalachian scots-irish. oh, and even though the point that king records is a "neglected landmark" is made several times throughout the article, i think it's safe to say that — with bootsy's hard work and other recent acknowledgments and celebrations (yes, including this article) — that claim just ain't true any more.

a sweet hit of an off-broadway show, "i love you because" is currently running at the know theatre. the surprisingly good thesis project of two nyu students, the show follows the lives of four youngish new yorkers in search of, well, that elusive "something" that draws, and maybe even keeps, two people together.
fang du's austin is so adorable as an uptight, tie-wearing republican that you just want to wrap him and shake him 'til he rattles and loosens up and starts ordering electric-colored drinks with cute little umbrellas. as his brother jeff, daniel s. hines and his '80s fashion (non)sense — the too-high-waisted jeans worn with white tennis shoes, the moussed-into-spikes-hair — hits a nice counterpoint to his sweet vulnerability (how many guys do you know who would cry over a my little pony abacus?). courtney brown's marcy fitzwilliams is a believable bohemian who unintentionally sweeps austin off his feet, while jenny guy as diana bingley seems to capture exactly what it is like to be a sex-starved actuary (at least, i think she does…since i'm not much of a number girl myself it's hard to say).
"i love you because" is a musical, which after seeing "christmas yet to come" i believed was not the know's strength. while i'm still not sure it is, this production has better-balanced sound and fewer out-of-tune tunes, making it much more enjoyable. the show's instrumental quintet sits behind the stage in the midst of the new york city silhouette that is the play's backdrop, and while at times i wanted their volume to drop so that i could better hear the actors' voices, it's a nice touch to have live music as a literal backdrop to the play.
my favorite things about the know are still the space and the ambiance. the bar/lounge area is a nice spot for a pre-show drink, with an eclectic decorative mix of urban industrial and public-school cafeteria. plus i like being able to sip slowly on my cocktail and take it with me into the theatre instead of guzzling it (or tossing it) at the door. the theatre space itself has a funky urban feel, with its steel stairs and metal grates leading up to what is basically a black loft with a stage area. given the group's smallish space and minimal funds for sets and props, the shows we've seen imaginatively create various senses of place to carry the actors through their scenes. it's a theatre for our times: economical and funky, doing good work with the resources at hand, it provides work for young up and coming actors and affordable entertainment for those of us who love theater.
i miss my days as an undergrad when i could get a rush ticket to big-city theatres for $5. but with $12 tix (shout out to the know for that one!), as well as a ticket stub worth 20% off a meal at the nearby mixx, a night at the know can fit into even a frugal budget. and everybody loves that.
"i love you because" runs through february 21. showtimes and more information about tickets at knowtheatre.com or 513-300-5669. curious but not ready to commit? check out a youtube clip, here.

Jonathan W. Rice (jwr)In late 2009, I learned that a journalist had written a book about the Quiverfull movement.[1] I ordered the book and also discovered an online forum for survivors and refugees who'd fled from it (No Longer Quivering). As far back as 1989, I'd known several families who fit the description but could never really understand their rationale. I hoped the NLQ forum and the book might shed some light on their beliefs. I was not disappointed.In mid-February 2010, a thread title on the forum caught my eye: How did you get yourself into this mess?

Pirates notebook: GM Huntington not planning staff changes
HOUSTON — General manager Neal Huntington will not purge the front office, coaching staff or development staff in the wake of the Pirates' second consecutive late-season collapse.
"I don't see making a change at any leadership position at this point in time," Huntington said Sunday. "I believe in the people I'm working with. I believe in what we're doing and how we're doing it."
When it comes to his own job, Huntington is at the mercy of owner Bob Nutting and president Frank Coonelly.
"If Bob or Frank decide to make a change and bring in a new general manager, that's their call," Huntington said. "I sure hope they don't."
Huntington was emphatic in his support of assistant general manager Kyle Stark, who has been criticized for implementing a Navy SEALs-style training program for the club's minor league prospects.
"Kyle Stark is a tremendous front-office executive — intelligence, character, ability," Huntington said. "When you're a leader and you're willing to have a tough conversation, you tend to have people who may not always like you. That's what we're dealing with right now."
In an internal email obtained by the Tribune-Review, Stark urged his staff to get players to "dream like a hippie," "prepare like a Boy Scout" and "trust like a Hells Angel."
"When you take one email and try to paint the whole man or our development system, it's inaccurate," Huntington said. "That terminology was used to connect with 18- to 25-year-olds. They don't want to hear about 'cohesiveness' or 'team-building' or 'preparation.' We're not trying to create Boy Scouts, native American warriors, Hells Angels or hippies. We're trying to get (players) to think like that. We're using images and metaphors to connect a message."
Course adjustment
Huntington said there are "a multitude of reasons" for the Pirates' second-half funk. Some of it, he said, might be a matter of the team simply finding its level over the course of a 162-game season.
"As we've tried to evaluate metrically how we've gotten here, you look at the numbers, and we weren't supposed to be 16 games over .500 (on Aug. 1)," Huntington said. "We should have been closer to eight (games), which is still progress.
"Since Aug. 1, batting averages on balls in play have plummeted for our hitters and increased for our pitchers, especially with runners in scoring position. It doesn't mean it's bad luck, but ... yes, it means it's bad luck. We've done some things to not play well, and we've had some things go against us. Is the last six weeks the way we envisioned our season? Absolutely not. Every team has tough stretches. Ours, unfortunately, has been longer and late (in the season)."
Hurdle: 'It's on me'
Manager Clint Hurdle was ejected in the second inning of Saturday's game when the score was tied at 1. After the game, someone jokingly asked if the loss should go on the record of bench coach Jeff Banister, who filled in after Hurdle was tossed.
"It goes on mine," Hurdle said with a wry smile. "They all go on mine, and that's the accountability I've got to carry with this. We're just not finishing plays. We're not crisp, we're not performing at the execution level we need to, and that's on me. All of it falls back on the manager. I've got to find a way to get us performing better."

Research Statement
I am currently Head of Drama and most of my published research to date has engaged with the impact of class and gender hierarchies on wellbeing and quality of life, typfied in my first book Hegemony and Fantasy in Irish Drama, 1899-1949 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008) and articles in journals such as Theatre Research International and Theatre Journal.
Research Interests
My current research interests fall into two broad categories in terms of how Drama relates to Medical Humanities and Digital Humanities. I engage in collaborative, interdiscipinary research that focuses on how the theories and practices of Drama can be deployed in terms of projects involving arts-based interventions on sociomedical challenges and applications to medical training. I am also interested in how Drama is adapting to the digital revolution particularly in terms of how theatre history can be radically reimagined through advanced information technology.
Achievements and Distinctions
In 2012 I was honoured to receive a Queen's University Teaching Award in the Student Nominated category.
I am currently Secretary General of the International Federation for Theatre Research responsible for communications and digital technology. I was President of the Irish Society for Theatre Research 2008-2011.

In November 1787, George Washington received a package at Mount Vernon from his former aide Alexander Hamilton. It contained the first essays of The Federalist, a work written in defense of the Constitution by the anonymous author Publius. Nine months later the entire two-volume set of essays, known today as The Federalist Papers, arrived at Mount Vernon. Hamilton admitted that he was one of the work's authors along with James Madison and John Jay.
Hamilton had sent the essays to Washington as part of his campaign to convince his former commander to become the first President of the United States. Hamilton explained that he thought Washington was "indispensable," and reminded him that, "It is to little purpose to have introduced a system, if the weightiest influence is not given to its firm establishment in the outset."1 Washington thanked Hamilton for The Federalist, a work that he believed would "merit the notice of posterity," but reminded him that his "great and sole purpose" in life was "to live and die, in peace and retirement, on my own farm."2
Washington overcame his reluctance to leave Mount Vernon, and was elected President in 1788, appointing Hamilton to his cabinet as the first Secretary of the Treasury. The two had first met in 1777 when Hamilton, then a twenty-two year old artillery officer, joined Washington's staff as his secretary. Born the illegitimate son of a Scottish peddler on the Caribbean island of Nevis, Hamilton was apprenticed to a merchant house on St. Croix at just nine years of age. Hamilton had overcome much in his young life to become a member of Washington's military family.
Wealthy benefactors later financed Hamilton's education at Princeton and King's College. Hamilton became an early supporter of the American Revolution and joined a militia company in New York City. Here he met General Nathanael Greene who recommended that he join Washington's staff. While his intelligence and mastery of languages proved invaluable to his commander, Hamilton longed to serve on the battlefield. Hamilton finally got his chance at Yorktown when he led the charge against the last British redoubt.
Hamilton and Washington parted company after the Revolution with Hamilton, eventually becoming a lawyer and serving as a representative to the Confederation Congress from New York. They met again at the Annapolis Convention in 1786 and the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Two years later, in December 1789, Hamilton joined President Washington's cabinet as the first Secretary of the Treasury. In a series of reports to Congress, Hamilton proposed funding the national and state debts through the sale of government bonds, establishing the Bank of the United States, and levying protective tariffs.
In 1796, Hamilton left the Treasury but continued to correspond with Washington who retired to Mount Vernon a year later. The last letter that Washington ever wrote was to Alexander Hamilton. Composed on December 12, 1799, two days before Washington died, the letter complemented Hamilton for his recommendations on establishing a national military academy. Hamilton died five years later on July 12, 1804, mortally wounded in a duel with Aaron Burr.

I have read 2 cases on realself about cellulaze side effects. one complained of saggy skin/saggy butt, lose of volume on her butt after the procedure. the second complained of broken veins after the procedure that she didn't have before. Does this happen often? I develped matting after getting sclerotherapy on the front my calf that I cannot get rid of. I am concerned with that happening after the procedure. Also if my butt is not firm now will it be worse after cellulaze?

Side effects of Cellulaze
Thanks for your questions and concerns about Cellulaze. A loss of volume should not occur with Cellulaze, unless it was used improperly or there was an adjunct procedure (e.g. liposuction) done concurrently with the procedure. The sagging skin, too, appears to sound like more was done than said, as Cellulaze will tighten the skin. Bruising is signifcant with cellulaze, and can have persistent discoloration, which can require non-invasive treatments to resolve them. Arnica topically appears to decrease the amount of bruising after the procedure.
I would still recommend Cellulaze for the treatment of your cellulite. Cellulaze is the first FDA-approved one time, minimally invasive treatment to improve the appearance of cellulite. It uses a 1440 nm wavelength side-firing laser fiber optic to treat all anatomic causes of cellulite - bulges from fat deposits, dimples from fibrous bands, and also tighten the skin to improve the shape to the problem areas.
Good luck!
Cellulaze side effects
The laser can affect the fat cell volume - this is why it helps with the bumps of cellulite - so it is possible to lose volume if the technology is used in areas where any fat loss is not desired. Any procedure resulting in bruising and swelling can result in broken blood vessels, but both of these side effects are rare.

Side effects after Cellulaze treatment
Cellulaze is a laser procedure that treats Cellulite from under the skin surface. It is specifically targetting the bands that cause dimpling of the skin. It is not recommended that liposuction or fat removal be performed in the same area at the same time. This may account for someone getting sagging of the skin in that area. Cellulaze should actually tighten up the skin in that area through the laser effects. People do develop alot of bruising after the procedure and there may develop some small spider veins in the area treated but this is true of any invasive procedure in that area and is uncommon.

Side effects after Cellulaze
I would recommend you learn more about Cellulaze - the FDA approved one time definitive treatment for cellulite. Cellulaze utilizes a 1440 nm wavelength laser to accomplish 3 things: 1) melt away fat bulging out 2) break up fibrous septae (attachments) that create the indentations and 3) help thicken the dermis (skin) to prevent future recurrence. The procedure can take between 60-90 minutes and can be completed under local or just IV sedation (depending on the length of your procedure and number of areas being treated). To see your final results takes between 3-6 months. You can visit the cellulaze . com website to learn more about the procedure. Best of luck!

Cellulaze Side Effects
With most things in life, there can be too much of a good thing. Cellulaze is excellent for treating cellulite--the lumps, the dimples and the uneven texture. If areas are treated too aggressively, too much fat can be lost resulting in volume loss or even saggy skin. In the buttocks area especially, it is important not to treat excessively so we don't lose volume. Any procedures involving bruising, or even every day injuries or trauma resulting in bruising, can result in new blood vessels appearing or matting. These side effects are not common with Cellulaze but can be easily managed if they arise with laser vein therapy or sclerotherapy.

The recent passing of baseball ambassador and general good guy Chuck Tanner has me thinking of those colorful White Sox teams he managed in the early 1970s. As open-minded as any skipper of his era, Tanner managed his share of flakes and oddballs in the Windy City. With those free-spirited personalities came some intriguing nicknames.
In the past, I've written extensively about some of those White Sox nicknames, including Lee "Bee Bee" Richard, Walt "No Neck" Williams, and Rich "Goose" Gossage. So rather than rehash old ground with those favorites, let's look at five other memorable nicknames from Chuck Tanner's south side neighborhood.
Dick "Crash" Allen: It's only fitting that one of the era's most colorful characters had a pertinent nickname, too. As with many of Tanner's White Sox, Allen's nickname predated his Chicago tenure. The nickname came out of Allen's stormy days with the Phillies, where he repeatedly became involved in controversy.
Allen's conflicts with teammates, management and the media—coupled with his occasionally indifferent defensive play in the field and, almost certainly, the color of his skin—made him an unpopular figure with Phillies fans. Fans at Connie Mack Stadium often booed him as he stood at his position at first base. Allen sometimes responded by pawing at the infield dirt with his spikes, drawing the word "BOO" in the Connie Mack infield. At times, he wrote even more vitriolic words and phrases in the dirt.
Allen's "letters in the dirt," as they are often described by Hall of Fame research librarian Tim Wiles, only resulted in harder feelings from the Philadelphia fan base. Some fans even threw objects at Allen, including batteries, fruit and a variety of items that could be classified as garbage. That prompted Allen to start wearing his batting helmet while playing defense. The new headgear not only gave Allen a distinctive look in the field, but also led to him becoming known as "Crash Helmet," or "Crash," for short. The name took on a secondary meaning because of the way Allen often crashed and burned during his career.
By 1968, Allen's unhappiness in Philadelphia reached a boiling point. He began to intentionally violate minor team rules, as a way of trying to persuade management to trade him. In May of 1969, Allen didn't arrive at the ballpark until after a game had started. The late arrival prompted a $1,000 fine from manager Bob Skinner—an astronomical amount for the time.
Allen compounded the problem later that season. He forgot that the start time of a doubleheader against the Mets had been moved up. As he drove to the ballpark, he listened to the start of the game on the car radio and learned that he had just received a 28-game suspension from Skinner. Allen's latest bit of tardiness, along with his increased drinking, sealed his fate in Philadelphia. He threatened to retire if the Phillies did not trade him. The Phillies obliged during the winter, sending him to the Cardinals as part of the famed trade that involved All-Star outfielder Curt Flood.
Allen spent single seasons with the Cardinals and the Dodgers before finding a more comfortable home when the White Sox acquired him from the Dodgers for Tommy John. Other changes took place during his time of upheaval from one team to another; Allen announced that he no longer wanted to be referred to as "Richie"—a practice that sportswriters had adopted early in his professional career. He said he wanted to be called "Dick," the name friends and family had always called him.
By the time Allen arrived in Chicago, he had become somewhat of a prima donna. As the team's resident superstar, he expected special treatment from management. Tanner, the ultimate player's manager, accommodated Allen whenever possible. Allen responded by putting together arguably his finest season in 1972, when he ran away with American League MVP honors.
As his performance peaked, Allen remained a colorful figure in Chicago. A famous Sports Illustrated cover photograph showed Allen juggling three baseballs in the White Sox' dugout, all the while puffing away at a cigarette. Allen had learned the juggling stunt from his high school coach many years earlier, but on the surface, the photograph seemed to capture a baseball rebel like Allen.
Allen's first year in Chicago went smoothly, culminating in his selection as MVP. Within only two years, though, Allen became so unhappy that he retired before the 1974 season even ended. Part of his many problems stemmed from a feud with new teammate Ron Santo, who was finishing out his long career in a final season with the White Sox.
Bill "Beltin' Bill" or "Beltin'" Melton: The nickname of the hard-hitting third baseman was a relatively simple one, but it became an easy and fun way for White Sox fans to refer to him in the early '70s. If you liked alliteration, you could have called him Beltin' Bill, but if you preferred a rhyme, you could have gone with Beltin' Melton.
Either nickname made sense because Melton had big time power. He put up some productive seasons in the late 1960s before breaking through with a career-making effort in 1971. Melton hit 33 home runs that summer (matching his total from the previous season), good enough to lead the American League in a power-deprived era while making him the first player in franchise history to set the league pace in home runs. His 1971 power output was even more impressive given the long dimensions at pitching-friendly Comiskey Park.
At 6 foot 2 and 200 pounds, Melton was built like a block of granite. His physique prevented him from becoming a smooth fielder, but it allowed him to hit with jaw-breaking power. Enormously strong, Melton often muscled balls over the wall, with his power running from left-center to right-center field.
Unfortunately, Beltin' Bill could not sustain his power surge in 1972. He ruptured a disc in his back while trying to break his son's fall from their garage roof. Melton saved his son from serious injury, but his own ensuing back trouble hurt his home run stroke and forced him to miss more than 100 games that summer. His back problems remained chronic for the rest of his career, preventing him from ever again topping 21 home runs.
Before his back problems, Melton was an extraordinarily popular player in Chicago. He also gained enough recognition nationally to make the cover of Sports Illustrated in March of 1973. But when the back problems badly affected his play in 1974, he became the target of fans and media. Melton especially drew the ire of White Sox broadcaster Harry Caray, who often railed against Beltin' Bill for his fielding problems.
Beltin' Bill might have wanted to belt Caray, but he resisted the urge.
Jay "Moon Man" Johnstone: If ever a nickname was bestowed for more obvious reasons than with Johnstone's, I haven't found it. Both in and out of uniform, Johnstone often acted as if he were in lunar orbit.
When Johnstone joined the California Angels as a rookie in 1966, manager Bill Rigney put his locker in an intriguing position: between a pair of veteran flakes, left-hander Bo Belinsky and right-hander Dean Chance. Rigney then gave Johnstone the roommate assignment that would make his hotel stays most memorable: the often indescribable Jimmy Piersall.
With Piersall becoming his guru, and Belinsky and Chance providing their own unique influence, Johnstone became a prankster, quipster and clown. Within a short time, he became known as "Moon Man" to his Angels teammates. Johnstone also earned another nickname when some began referring to him as "The Man Who Fell to Earth."
Johnstone fit in well in the California clubhouse, but his frequent defensive mishaps in the outfield annoyed Angels management. In November of 1970, the Angels traded Johnstone to the White Sox, where he continued to show flashes of brilliance but also provided too many fits of frustration. A .188 batting average in 1972 didn't help, either. Though Tanner liked Johnstone, the White Sox released him in the spring of '73, leaving him unemployed until Charlie Finley and the Oakland A's came calling.
Some of Johnston's best moments of clowning occurred in the minor leagues. After being released by the A's, Johnstone signed on with the Phillies, who assigned him to Toledo of the International League. While with Toledo, Johnston had a run-in with Jim Bunning, at the time the manager of the Mud Hens. During the 1974 season, Bunning ripped into two of his slumping hitters, Dane Iorg and Jerry Martin, by comparing their diminishing batting averages to the sinking of the Titanic. Though a light-hearted humorist first and foremost, Johnstone had his serious side; he couldn't believe that his manager would publicly belittle his own players that way.
The next day, Johnstone showed up at the ballpark wearing a full-body wet suit with the words "USS Titanic" scribbled across the front of his chest. As Johnstone made his way around the ballpark, he carried an oar with him, pretending to paddle it across the playing field. Not amused by the outfit or the "paddling," the old-school Bunning, never known for a strong sense of humor, fined Johnstone.
Johnstone escaped the clutches of Bunning and clawed his way back to the Phillies. He became a valuable part time player in Philadelphia, but he also tested the patience of manager Danny Ozark and his coaches. He sometimes missed signs, didn't always run hard to first base on routine ground balls and pop-ups, and developed a strange habit of throwing the bat at the ball when badly fooled on a pitch.
Johnstone also began to solidify his reputation as a full-fledged flake. He diligently shined his shoes before the first pitch of every game, even though they would become filthy once he stepped onto the infield dirt. He wore unusual headgear before and after games, including a multicolored umbrella hat that was reminiscent of the Brockabrella, and an oddly shaped helmet that featured the words "Star Patrol."
He also shot off firecrackers from his locker. In perhaps his most famous firecracking incident, Johnstone involved his former White Sox teammate, Dick Allen. Johnstone waited until NBC "Game of the Week" broadcaster Joe Garagiola started to ask questions of Allen and then set off a loud firecracker during the live interview.
Ed "The Creeper" Stroud: Stroud played only one season for Tanner, in 1971, but his nickname is too good to pass up. Stroud's minor league teammates in Indianapolis, at the time an affiliate of the White Sox, noticed that he walked with his shoulders hunched, as if he were trying to sneak up on someone. Stroud also wore a distinctive green hat with a narrow brim that accentuated his unusual way of walking. Hence, The Creeper was born. It sounds like he would have made a good extra on a 1970s horror film set.
Stroud also was sometimes called "The Streak," in tribute to his blazing speed. Stroud stole 29 bases for the Washington Senators in 1970, establishing a career high in the major leagues. But he was far more prolific in the minor leagues, where he won three stolen base crowns. In his first professional season, Stroud stole 74 bases, and followed with a 72-theft campaign. In 1966, Stroud stole 57 bases for the Indianapolis Indians of the Pacific Coast League.
He spent some time as the Senators' starting center fielder. Some black players on the team, including Stroud and Hank Allen (the brother of Dick Allen), did not like the racial atmosphere surrounding the team. That situation changed precipitously in 1969, when Ted Williams replaced Jim Lemon as manager.
By 1971, The Creeper had reached the end of the major league line. He played mostly as a backup, unable to crack a White Sox starting outfield that featured Rick Reichardt, Jay Johnstone and Pat Kelly.
Moe "The Snake Man" Drabowsky: Drabowsky spent only a bit of time with the White Sox—a sliver during the 1972 season—but he made a distinct impression on the team, just as he did everywhere else during his journeyman career.
Drabowsky's reputation as The Snake Man evolved from his habit of playing pranks, which often involved snakes. Not rubber ones, but live ones. After the 1968 season, Drabowsky departed the powerhouse Orioles when he was left unprotected in the expansion draft and taken by the Royals. Drabowsky exacted some "revenge" in 1969, when he arranged for a six-foot-long boa constrictor to be delivered to the clubhouse of the American League champion Orioles during the World Series. Coincidentally or not, the Orioles went on to lose the Series in five games to the upstart Mets.
Drabowsky often tormented Orioles teammates Paul Blair and Luis Aparicio, both of whom hated snakes. Drabowsky put live snakes in their gloves, giving them a surprise when they donned their mitts during pre-game workouts. Once, Drabowsky placed a live snake in a bread basket belonging to Brooks Robinson.
Pitching mostly as a relief pitcher during the second half of his career, Drabowsky took full advantage of his days in the bullpen. He regularly ordered Chinese food from the bullpen phone, once placing a direct call to Hong Kong for some takeout. The habit was reminiscent of a Seinfeld episode when Elaine Benes ordered Chinese food and had it delivered to a janitor's closet.
Drabowsky had other habits, too. He enjoyed dressing up in a gorilla suit and throwing rocks at opposing relief pitchers, who must have just loved that. On at least one occasion with the Cardinals, Moe felt motivated to set off a cherry bomb in Chief Nok-A-Homa's tepee at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta. Fortunately, the Chief wasn't in the tepee when the firecracker ignited. Perhaps he consulted with Jay Johnstone on that one.

Are you prepared for America to have a First Lady who was a home wrecker and was once the President's mistress (if Gingrich were to become President)?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brad12358 from Great Product This food processor was packaged very nicely in the box and no pieces were damaged upon arival. It was very easy to assemble and use. All pieces fit together well and motor seemed to have plenty of power. This unit is aesthetically pleasing with the stainless steel accent. It performed well slicing and shredding what I put through it. The continuous flow feature is really handy and worked well for most of the items I ran through the processor. The continuous flow is a huge bonus over processors without this feature. Overall I am satisfied with the product. It met all of my expectations. I received this product as a sample to review.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Privera from This is really your little helper in the kitchen! This item was sent to me to sample and review. It arrived and I read through all the directions then proceeded to cut up cucumbers and it slices the product different than what I thought it was going to. I didn't realize the food needed a separate container to shoot into. Once I got the hang of it and understood how to use the item it was amazing. I made salads for my family in no time. I was able to adjust to different styles and use multiple food items. It is a life saver. Doesn't take up much room at all on the counter and it super easy clean up. I recommend this to any cook in the kitchen.

I used this to chop up peanuts for cookies and it was so easy. We have also used it every day for salads and to make the smaller toppings for our salads. The speed of the machine is fast. put your food in and get ready to catch it. The overall quality of the machine is very very good. I highly recommend this unit to anyone that is looking for a food processor. We received this unit to review and try.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bwoodmac from Oster 4050 - Overall quite capable Powerful motor, clean classic design, very capable on "most" tasks. The good is as follows - low moisture products are dispensed with ease, slice, shred, or chop, this machine is more than capable. For the most part, clean up was a snap. While not heavy, the unit feels solid and stout. There are a few minor drawbacks, I would prefer a pulse switch or button versus the twist and lock feature. While cleanup was a snap, there was one area inside the feed chute that would allow small particles to collect and could only be removed by a thin sharp object such as a knife blade. Also high moisture food did not grate as cleanly as the low moisture foods. Overall I give it 4 1/2 stars and would be a welcome addition to any kitchen.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Angwil1 from Loud!! If you are looking for a product that will slice and shred your food, this is it. If you are looking for one that is quiet, won't throw food everywhere unless you have a bowl that covers the spout and doesn't feel like it's going to fly across your kitchen, this is not it. It is very loud and has no on/off switch. It turns on as soon as you lock the lid. It has one speed and this is turbo. Appearance wise, it is nice. If you need to make mulch for landscaping, it could do it! The bowl that comes with it is small and doesn't hold very much. For the price, it is ok, but personally, I would spend more for a quieter version with speed controls. **I received this product as a sample for review.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Avatar1993 from Great Product I cannot recommend this little food processor highly enough. This is the perfect size to process into ultra-smoothness one carton of cottage cheese as a base for spreads, or a batch of hummus made with one 15 oz can of chickpeas. It chops nuts, purees beans, and minces a ton of parsley for tabbouli. It also does a reasonable job mincing/grinding a small amount of meat. For its size it has a very powerful motor that never bound up or "lagged" no matter what I threw at it. It is also the only food processor I have ever seen where the designers used their brains on the shape of the container -- it is curved at the bottom, making it easy to scoop out the processed contents with a rubber spatula. Also as a disclaimer I received this product as a sample to review.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jsb828 from Great for small jobs! The Oster Processor is the perfect food processor for small jobs. It does the work of a much bigger processor but taking up very little counter space. Imagine having a food processor that is compact enough to chop up and slice food on demand. I was surprised how many times I used this in a given week simply because it was small enough to leave out and do the job of a bigger machine with less mess. All the pieces were small enough to fit in my dishwasher with my normal dishes. The quality of the machine was evident in the texture of my homemade hummus, my chopped carrots, and the cucumber slices for my salad. I love using this food processor! I did receive this food processor as a sample to review.
