The Seventh Regiment of RI Volunteers in the Civil War, 1862 - 1865
by William P. Hopkins, Snow & Farmham Printers, Providence, RI, 1903
Welcome B. SAYLES. Lieutenant-Colonel Welcome Ballou Sayles, son of Daniel and Olive Ballou Sayles, was born at Franklin, Mass, July 4, 1812. His education was obtained in the schools of Bellingham. When about twenty years of age he went to Bernon Village, then across the river from Woonsocket, RI., and served as clerk in the Bernon store, of which he subsequently became owner. He first came prominently to the front in connection with the free suffrage movement that culminated in the Dorr Rebellion. He canvassed nearly the entire state, his eloquence attracting multitudes, though evidently it did not convince all. In acknowledgment of his services, he was chosen Speaker of the House in the Dorr Legislature. When the insurrection was quelled Sayles, like his leader, found it convenient to find an abiding place elsewhere. The former repaired to New Hampshire and made his home for several months with an uncle at Keene in that state. Then he went to Boston, Mass., where with his brother John O. Sayles, he spent a year in the freighting and trucking business. By this time the animositities of the conflict had subsided sufficiently to render it safe for him to return to Woonsocket, from whence, in 1845, he was appointed postmaster of Providence by President Polk. In 1853 he was reappointed to that office by President Pierce. After the close of his first term with Messrs. Miller and Symonds, he founded the 'Providence Post', of which he continued to be the editor until he entered the field years afterward. He had attended every National Democratic Convention from Polk down, so when Lincoln succeeded to the presidential chair, it was but natural a man like him should be selected to go among the Secessionists and secure such settlement with the postmasters there as would entail the least loss and embarrassment to the government. When his work was completed it received the unqualified approval of the postmaster-general. As has already been been intimated, he attended the Baltimore Convention, and there exerted himself to restrain the lawless tendencies of his Southern friends; but when he found they were determined upon the disruption of the Union, he unhesitatingly accepted the responsibility thrust upon him and enlisted in defense of national integrity. Just before the battle in which he lost his life, he wrote home charging his family to remember that, if he fell, it was in defense of the beloved Constitution.
Mr. Sayles was a member of St. John's Lodge, No. 1, A. F. and A. M., of Providence, and, during the administration of Governor Philip Allen, served as colonel on his personal staff. He married Deborah C., daughter of Moses W. and Mary Watson, of Dover, N.H., by whom he had five children: Eliza Jane, wife of Lieut. Joseph S. Manchester, and subsequently of Waldo L. Gates, of Lonsdale, R.I.; Mary, wife of Edward T. Raymond to whose care she left a daughter Maud; Julia Wilkinson, wife of James Henry Tower, whose children are Clifford Sayles, Louis Philip and Maria Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin Pearce Harris; Philip Allen, who married Hannah Cornett and died leaving one son, Philip Allen Sayles; Louis Leprelett Sayles, who died unmarried. Lieutenant-Colonel Sayles's remains were interred with befitting honors at Swan Point Cemetery.

DENNIS J. SCANNELL. Sergeant Dennis John Scannell was born Dec. 4, 1842, at Boston, Mass. When but a child, his parents moved to Worcester, where he attended the public schools until he was fourteen years of age, when he commenced learning the printer's trade, attending, meanwhile, evening schools. He was appointed sergeant in Company I, Dec. 1, 1862. He succumbed to the exposure of the Jackson campaign, and was sent first to Camp Dennison, O., and later to Portsmouth Grove Hospital. After he was mustered out he resided a short time in Providence, and then went on to Boston, where he married Eliza Agnes Teehan by whom he had two sons and one daughter. In 1870 he removed to Worcester where he died Feb. 10, 1876. The elder son has since died at the age of twenty years.

BENJAMIN SHERMAN. Corporal Benjamin Sherman was born according to the inscription on the stone erected to his memory in the East Greenwich Cemetery, Oct. 13, 1844. He lived with his parents winters and worked on farms summers. He was in the employ of Capt. Alfred B. Chadsey, of Wickford, at the time of his enlistment. The young man's parents objected to his entering the service and arranged with his employer that any mention of the subject should at once be reported to them. He never lisped the matter, however, and none knew of his plans until he had gone. He was killed at Spottsylvania, May 18, 1864. His remains were never recovered. He had one sister, Mrs. Sarah E. Lowell, who was so young she scarcely remembers him, and two brothers, Henry C. and Charles L. His parents died prior to January, 1896.

SAMUEL F. SIMPSON. Sergeant Samuel Frost Simpson, the eldest of the six children of Joseph Sheburn and Mary Hobbs, was born of Oxford, N.H., July 5, 1820. An uncle, Thomas Simpson, was a captain of the sloop-of-war 'Ranger', in the Continental Navy. The lad lived on a farm and attended the country school in his native town until Sept. 2, 1839, when he went to Burlington, Vt., and enlisted in the regular army. He was assigned to Battery I, First United States Artillery, and went to Maine where he remained until the settlement of the difficulty with Great Britain over the boundary line. The battery was then ordered to Fort Adams, Newport, R.I., where it remained until his term of enlistment had expired and he was honorably discharged as a private Sept. 2, 1844. He again enlisted April 1, 1845, at Newport in the same battery, which, ere long, went to Tampa Bay, Fla., and then to Mexico with General Scott. There he participated in a number of engagements, but was quite severely wounded at the battle on Contreras. He remained in the hospital until he could be sent to his home, which was then in Piermont, N.H., where he was honorably discharged Nov. 24, 1848, as sergeant of the battery at the City of Mexico, by reason of disability. John B. Magruder was commander of the battery at that time and 'Stonewall' Jackson a lieutenant. Mr. Simpson soon returned to Newport, where, in 1852, he married Cecelia Brennan, of that city. They removed to Providence where he was employed as a boiler maker to the Corliss and Nightingale Works. In 1857 he went back to Peirmont where his mother and her family were still residing. When the Rebellion broke out he expressed a desire to enlist, and, as his wife wished to be near her family should he do so, they returned to Newport. Soon after he enlisted in the Seventh. He was shot through the head at North Anna River about 11:30 a.m., May 25, 1864. Mrs. Simpson at the time could not afford to have his remains brought home, and when she was able they could not be located. She died in 1887. Sergeant Simpson had seven children: Agnes M., who married William T. Wilson, and died in December, 1893, leaving four sons, son of whom, Samuel P. Wilson, of Providence, served on the Gunboat 'Helena' through the Spanish War, and was discharged in June, 1900, at the age of twenty-one; Joseph, who went on to a farm in 1867 (whither the family removed in 1857, save Agnes) and died at Brantford, Kan., March, 1900; Catherine, who died in infancy; Florence M., now Mrs. Edward T. Vought of Clifton, N.J.; Edmund D., of Passaic, N.J.; Samuel E., of Dale, Iowa; Peter B., who died in Ithaca, N.Y., in 1885, while a Sophmore (sic) at Cornell Univeristy, and Margaret, born May 22, 1864, afterwards Mrs. William R. Campbell, who died in 1886. In 1887 the family with the exception of Joseph, who had already gone West, removed to Pontiac, where the children found employment in the factories. Sergeant Simpson is survived by two brothers, William C., and George T., of Piermont, N.H., and one sister, Mary S., now Mrs. Jonathan Sleeper, of Haverhill, Mass. Of Mrs. Simpson's family but one survives, Mrs. John Ring, of Newport, R.I.

ALBERT L. SMITH. First Lieutenant Albert Levens Smith, son of Stukely S. and Lucy Levens Smith, was born at Thompson, Conn., July 16, 1822. He was educated at Plainfield, Conn. Subsequently he taught school a few terms, and then worked at his trade, which was that of a machinist. About 1842 he married Mary J. Wetherbee, by whom he had three sons and six daughters. When he enlisted in the Seventh he was a foreman at the celebrated steam engine company of George H. Corliss. As sergeant in Company F, he was wounded at Fredericksburg; as first lieutenant of Company D he passed through the Jackson campaign. On the return of the regiment to Kentucky, he fell ill with malarial fever at Camp Parke, near Camp Nelson, Ky., and died there Aug. 31, 1863. His grandfather lost his life by being carried away in the September gale of 1815, at Pawtucket, R.I.

ORLANDO SMITH. Sergeant Orlando Smith, son of Samuel and Betsey Codding Smith, was born in Winchester, N. H., June 27, 1835. His mother, by an accident, to the carriage in which she was riding, was thrown into deep water and drowned. In 1860 Orlando took up his abode in Providence, R.I. In April of that year he married Anna D. Arnold, a native of Cranston. He enlisted as one of a quota of ten men from Barrington. He was detailed on the color guard soon after the battle of Fredericksburg, and served thereon to the end. He was slightly wounded in the shoulder June 3, 1864, at Bethesda Church. A younger brother who was serving in the Seventeenth United States Infantry, was wounded at Gettysburg, and died a few days after in a Baltimore hospital.
p. 412:
JAMES B. SPENCER. Sergeant James Byron Spencer, youngest son of Christopher and Nancy Wickes Spencer, of Warwick, R.I., was teaching school at Crompton when he enlisted. He died at Newport News, Va., March 6, 1863, from the disorder most common to soldiers in warm climates. His two brothers, Peleg and Stukley (Stutly) hastened to his bedside as soon as they learned of the seriousness of his illness, but he had been buried three days when they arrived. His body was disinterred and brought home in a rough box to which the red soil of the South was still adhering. His funeral was on the following Sunday at the First Baptist Church, East Greenwich, where he had many friends at the academy. He was buried in the Wickes family lot, one and a half miles west of that village. Rev. Benjamin Phelan, superintendent of the public schools of Warwick at that time, says in his report: 'Mr. James B. Spencer, a member and clerk of this board at the commencement of this school year, a young man of high moral character whose future was full of promise, with an intellectual turn of mind, was in the way of becoming a useful member of this Board and to the community in which he lived, but being impressed with a sense of duty and the zeal of a patriot, he enlisted in the Seventh Regiment of Volunteers from this state, to go to the war in defence of the government against its fratricidal enemies. Alas! how uncertain is life. In the bloom and vigor of youth, disease (contracted in the exposure of camp) laid its fatal hand upon him and he is no more. He fell a voluntary sacrifice in the defence of the laws of his country. We feel to mourn the loss of so worthy an associate, and to offer our hearfelt sympathy to the family and friends of the deceased, who have lost a dutiful son, an affectionate brother and a kind friend.'

HENRY J. SPOONER. Acting Adjutant Henry Joshua Spooner, son of Joshua and Ann Crawford Noyes Spooner, was born in Providence, Aug. 6, 1839. His father was for many years a wholesale dry goods merchant in that city; his mother, a woman of much literary culture and taste, was descended through her mother from the well known Updike family, while her father was a sea captain of much musical and artistic accomplishment, whose voyages traversed the three great oceans. Henry's early education was obtained from the public schools. In September, 1857, he entered Brown University and was graduated thence in 1860, with the degree of A.B., according to the fashion just re-established in that institution. He early evinced an interest in and aptitude for discussion and debate, while his favorite studies were history, literature, rhetoric, and logic. During his sophomore year he was class president. In 1861 he graduated from the Albany (N.Y.) Law School with the degree of LL. B., and was thereupon admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the empire state. Returning to his native city, he continued his studies in the office of Messrs. Thurston and Ripley, for years the leaders of the Rhode Island bar, until Aug. 27, 1862, when he was commissioned second lieutenant in the Fourth Regiment Rhode Island Volunteer Infantry, a regiment which had already been in the field some months, and that once reported for duty participating September 14th in the battle of South Mountain, and, on the 17th, in the bloody conflict at Antietam. During a portion of this latter day the Fourth occupied the extreme left of the Union line, and, after fording Antietam Creek in the face of the enemy's fire, while striving to carry the hill beyond, lost in killed and wounded nearly one-third of those on the field. Lieutenant Spooner received two shots through his clothing and a slight contusion on the thigh. So hot indeed was the fire, there was scarcely a man who did not, at least, bear the mark of one bullet on some part of his clothing or equipments.
Oct. 5, 1862, Mr. Spooner was mustered as first lieutenant, and was borne on the rolls as adjutant until Feb. 25, 1864, when he was transferred to Company E. But, meanwhile, he was on detached service at the Conscript Camp, New Haven, Conn., from July to November, 1863; absent sick from Oct. 23, 1863, to February, 1864; during that month and March, assistant commissary of subsistence Third Brigade, Heckman's Division, Eighteenth Army Corps; during April, assisant commissary of subsistence on the staff of Colonel Steere of the Fourth, and, from May 1st until November, acting assistant commissary of subsistence Second Brigade, First Division, Eighteenth Army Corps. When relieved from this duty he reported to the commanding officer of the Seventh, whither had already been sent the re-enlisted veterans of the Fourth and its recruits. There he was assigned to duty as adjutant of the two organizations until their consolidation was formally effected in February, 1865, when he was mustered out on the 5th, as a supernumerary. In addition to the engagements already referred to, Lieutenant Spooner participated in the battle of Fredericksburg, where Lieut.-Col. Joseph B. Buffum commanding the regiment was shot dead at his side, the siege of Suffolk, Va., engagements at Edenton Road, Hill's Point, and Drury's Bluff, together with the long and tedious Siege of Petersburg.
Once more at home he resumed the study of law, and early in June he was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island. He commenced at onece the practice of his profession, which he has pursued unremittingly to date. Meanwhile, he has held the following offices (with others): Clerk and justice of the Court of Magistrates from May, 1866, to May, 1869; president of the Franklin Lyceum, an ancient and well known literary and debating society in 1866 and 1867; member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives from 1875 to 1882, during three of which years, 1876-9, he was a member of the judiciary commitee, and two years speaker, 1879-81; colonel on the staff of his Excellency Henry Lippitt, from May, 1875, to May, 1877; commander of the Department of Rhode Island, Grand Army of the Republic in 1877; representative in the Congress of the United Sates from the First District of Rhode Island, from 1881 to 1891.
Mr. Spooner, has, until recently, been actively identified with the Republican Party. He stumped the state for Grant in 1868 and 1872, from Hayes in 1876, for Garfield in 1880, for Blaine in 1884, and for Harrison in 1888 and 1892. In 1876 and 1880 he was a member of the Executive Committee of the State Central Republican Club, and from 1879 to 1881, inclusive, chairman of the Providence City Republican Club. He has just been returned to the lower house of the State Legislature on the Democratic ticket.
He married Mary S. daughter of David A. and Abby E. Brown, Nov. 16, 1868, by whom he has had one son, Henry J. Spooner, Jr., born Nov. 13, 1869.

ALBERT G. SPRAGUE, JR. Assistant Surgeon Albert Gallatin Sprague, Jr., son of Albert G. and Mary Fiske Sprague, was born in Providence, R.I., Nov. 22, 1836. His grandmother, on the paternal side, Amy Williams Sprague, was descended in direct line from the illustrious Roger. His early education was received at Pierce Academy, Middleboro, Mass.; he graduated at the Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, Pa., in 1859. He was assisant surgeon of the Tenth Rhode Island from May 26, 1862, until September 1st, when the regiment was mustered out. He was appointed to the same rank in the Seventh Aug. 29, 1862; was mustered in Sept. 22d; was absent sick from November 17th to January, 1863; was on detached service in hospital at City Point from January, 1865, until March 11th, and was mustered out June 9th. The next year he entered upon the practice of his profession at Riverpoint, R.I., where he has continued to since continued to reside.
Nov. 22, 1859, he married Ellen T. Duncan, by whom he has had a son and a daughter, both deceased. He is president of the State Board of Health, of which he has been a member since its organization in 1878. He was a town representative to the General Assembly in 1886-7, has been health officer of the Town of Warwick since 1887, and a member of its Council from 1899 to 1902. He is a member of McGregor Post, No. 14, Grand Army of the Republic, of Phenix, of the Warwick Club, of the Providence Press Club, and of the Providence Athletic Association.

JOHN H. D. SPRAGUE. Sergeant John Harton Dean Sprague, the youngest of ten children (equally divided as to sex) of Alanson and Jemima Taft Sprague, was born in Glocester, R.I., Jan. 27, 1841. Seven of the ten attained maturity. Most of his life before enlistment was spent in Burrillville, but in April, 1861, he went to work at Potter Hill, and in the excitement of that time enlisted in and went out with the Westerly Rifles, as Company I, First Regiment Rhode Island Detached Militia. After his muster out he went back to Burrillville. During the ensuing winter he, with George B. Inman, Esek B. Darling, M. A. Maynard, and others, hired a hall and devoted their evening to drilling. In July Inman commenced to recruit a company in Pascoag, so he went there and enlisted. He served with the regiment through all its varied experiences until September, 1863, when he with many other victims of Mississippi malaria were placed in a hospital at Lexington, Ky. Late in December he rejoined his company, but a little subsequently, was again severely attacked with that disorder. Once more he was sent to the hospital and was seen no more by his comrades until May 2, 1864, when at Bristow Station. On June 16th before Petersburg, the sergeant was hit in the side by a bullet that had struck the ground just in front of him, but the injury proved not to be serious. Again on the morning of July 1st, a glancing bullet struck his right foot as he was lying behind the breastworks. It tore the entire sole from the shoe and carried away skin and flesh of the size of a silver dollar. Still again he was wounded on July 7th, but only slightly and in the back. August 6th he was detailed for duty with the ambulance corps where he served until the end, rejoining the regiment at Alexandria as it was preparing to return home. Aug. 12, 1865, he married Ellen Sneaddon, a native of Scotland. To them were born four children, of whom but one is now living. He first tried his hand at farming, but the labor was too severe. Then he learned spinning, but, ere long, discovered that was prejudicial to his health. Next he tried bar tending in Douglas, Mass., but an experience of six months convinced him that was not to his liking. Now he took to peddling fish wherein he met not with eminent success. Fortunately, however, in January, 1872, a friend secured him a position in a watch case factory in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he soon learned to melt gold. Four years later the regular melter left and he was promoted to the vacancy which he filled for at least nineteen years. When he, at length, gave up the place, he removed to Sag Harbor, but as his health continued poor, he moved on to a farm at Hilldale, N.J., twenty-two miles from New York City. His health improved quite rapidly for a time, but he died there Sept. 28, 1900, of heart failure.

JOHN R. STANHOPE, JR. Quartermaster John Rider Stanhope, Jr., eldest son, but third child of John Rider and Harriet Cornell Stanhope, was born at Newport, R.I., May 23, 1823. He enlisted in Company I, Aug. 13, 1862; was mustered in as fourth sergeant, September 4th, was transferred to non-commissioned staff as quartermaster-sergeant, and was commissioned as first lieutenant and quartermaster, November 3d, the first mail that reached the regiment after its arrival before Fredericksburg, bringing the parchment.
He accompanied the regiment to Kentucky and also to Vicksburg. After the capture of that city he was stricken with malaria, and, after a term in the hospital obtained a sick leave and went to Ohio, where it was renewed. At the expiration of the extension, he was honorably discharged, Oct. 24, 1863.
Once more at home he entered the employment of the Old Colony Railroad Company and remained there five years. In December, 1870, he went to Cuba, and since that time he has been engaged in the shipping and commission business at Havana save during the few months of the Spanish War, when he resided at St. Augustine, Fla.
March 20, 1849, Mr. Stanhope married at St. Louis, Mo., Louisa W. Coates. She died June 14, 1889. At St. Augustine, July 11, 1894, he married Emma J. S. Morrell.

ALBERT STONE. Alberr Stone was born in Providence, R.I. During a considerable portion of his term of service he served as company cook. He received all the provisions for the comrades, faithfully cared for them and prepared and distributed to each his share promptly. If in camp he always had their hot coffee ready for them when it was expected. On account of his fatherly care, his thoughtfulness of the interests of others, and his unselfishness, he was always addressed or referred to as Daddy Stone. He died July 23, 1899, aged seventy-two years. His wife, Sarah Gavitt, died Nov. 27, 1896, aged seventy-seven years. They had six children, all of whom reside in Wickford: Samuel A., George B., Victoria, Josephine, Annie, and Effie.
p. 354 - 357:
GEORGE N. STONE. Captain George Nelson Stone was born at Stark, N.H., July 17, 1840. When some three years of age his parents with their three sons and five daughters went to Lowell, Mass., where, ere long, he commenced attendance in the public schools. When ten years of age he was office boy for a year for Benjamin F. Butler. Later he attended for a time, the Centreville Academy. Then he secured a position in a mercantile establishment at Boston on a small salary. The year 1861 found him the proprietor of a small hotel in Georgia, a citizen of that state, and a member of a military company that tendered its services to Governor Brown. He declined them, but advised the men they would be notified if wanted. Mr. Stone quickly closed up his affairs there and came North. He was induced to join the Seventh by Lieutenant-Colonel Sayles with whom he had a limited acquaintance, and was at once commissioned second lieutenant of Company B. Jan. 7, 1863, he was made first lieutenant of Company F, March 20th transferred to Company H, and on May 2d promoted to be captain thereof, which position he retained so long as the regiment remained in the field. During the month of December it is said he was on detached service as aide-de-camp to Colonel Allard, commanding the First Brigade of the Second Division. When in the west it is reported he served on the staffs of Generals Negley and Schofield. After his muster out he went to Colorado where he engaged in mining, and, at length, lost all his savings. He then returned to Cincinnati where he went to work in Chamberlain's foundry on Hunt Street, where B. H. Kroger's great warehouse now stands. He had never done a day's work of that kind before, but he was a man of wonderful resources and determination. He earned probably $8 or $10 a week there, and, with his great business instinct made the best possible use of what he gained. He organized the Park Driving Association, and was made its president, 1875. In that capacity he became the owner of several trotters, among them the great Maud S., that was purchased by W. K. Vanderbilt for $21,000, and by him sold to Robert Bonner of the 'New York Ledger' for $40,000. Captain Stone's trainer, one Bair, in accordance with instructions to buy a likely young filly if he could secure one, bought her from Horace Bugher for $350. She was exceedingly green and unpromising when he took her in hand, so, at length, he became completely disgusted with her, and one morning when his employer had driven as usual to the park, he announced she was not worth her feeding because she would not settle in her trotting. 'All she wants is to acquire confidence', said the Captain. 'When I was a boy and wanted to break colts that were unmanageable, we used to drive them through fodder. Try her in that field', pointing to the inside field of the park that had been planted with corn for fodder which was at that time from eighteen to twenty-four inches in height. The gate was opened, and in the fiery young filly was driven. She floundered and fought, but after the second or third trial the desired result was gained, and from that day she became her own mistress and did not really require a driver. Maud S. (so named after the captain's eldest daughter), was the fastest horse ever driven to a highwheeled sulky, and but for a mistake on the part of Bair, Captain Stone would easily have made a half million dollars out of her. The driver had been cautioned never to exercise her when other horses were on the track, but John Span slpped out behind him one day with a fast gelding on which he had about closed a match with the captain. Before Blair could realize it she cut out a pace that threw Span's horse off his feet and showed she was invincible. Of course the mare was at one left severely alone, although she did not trot one race that summer. This queen of the track died St. Patrick's day, 1900.
With the money received for his pet horse he had accumulated capital enough to acquire much stock in the Bell Telephone Company, purchasing when it was going at the lowest figure and keeping it until it had attained phenominal value. In 1878 he became a director, and, in 1882, president and general manager. It was his policy to keep just a little ahead of demand. He often said he never allowed the public to make him do anything. Sometime since the rates on telephones were reduced all over that city. Captain Stone had considered the matter and started in that direction a good while before he was able to accomplish his object. One day while considering the subject, a prominent citizen told him his prices were too high, and that he ought to be forced to come down. The captain went into a rage at once, and declared his rates were not too high and that he would not have to come down, and showed reasons for what he said. His wrath was kindled because he feared he would not be able to get his plans through before others might come at him in the same way, and he wanted to make lower rates before they did. Quite noticeable, also, is the manner in which he treated his employees. He considered their labor so much increase in capital, and at the end of the year paid them the same dividend he did the stockholders according to their respective wages. The result was complaintes were few and a rival company has never been spoken of in that city.
Captain Stone's death occurred at his palatial mansion in Vernonville, O., March 8, 1901, from septicaemia following appendicitis. Like too many others he had neglected the promonitary symptoms of a disease comparatively manageable at the outset, but most serious if permitted to have free course. Just one week before, at five P. M., he called into his office his assistant manager and his secretary, and said: 'I am going to California to-morrow. This is the first vacation I have taken since I came to the telephone. I want you to wire me once a week if everything is right here and at home. You run the old machine and don't let me know anything. I shall be gone thirty days. I have got my tickets arranged and I am going to get away quickly because I am afraid if the doctors know that I am going they'll stop me.' Then he had a short gasping spell and said: 'I have a terrible pain right in there,' pointing to the right side of his abdomen. At the suggestion of a friend he sent down stairs and secured a drink of brandy. That he had been in agony for an hour was very plain, because the perspiration was pouring down his neck and had taken all the starch out of his turn-down collar. He bade everybody good-by as he put on his overcoat, and laughingly excused himself to some of the lady operators as he bumped into them when leaving the elevator. Walking up the street with a number of friends, he said: 'I am a little worried about my stomach, but I never felt so happy and satisfied as I do to-night on leaving for a good, long rest. I appointed Perin Langdon my private secretary, and if you want any influence with me you'll have to get it through him.' That was the last time he was in Cincinnati.
At the time of his death he was director and one of the largest owners in the street railway, gas, and coke companies; a member of the Queen City, the Commercial, the Business Men's, the Picadilly, the Avondale, the Cuvier, the Clifton Golf and Riding clubs, and also of the Chamber of Commerce and the Ohio Commanderty of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion. He had served the city with which he was long and prominently identified as councilman, alderman, and member of the Board of Education. He was not a member of any secret society nor did he carry any life insurance. His remains were interred in Spring Grove Cemetery, and the obsequies, which were carried out in strict accord with his oft expressed wich: 'Bury me as plainly as you can,' were conducted by the Rev. George Thayer, a Uniterian clergyman.
Mr. Stone married May 20, 1861, Arvilla S. Willard, of Gardner, Mass., by whom he had three daughters, Mrs. Maud Stone Cary, of New York City, Miss Mary and Miss Eleanor, all of whom survive him. Mrs. Stone died December 26, 1886; later he married a Mrs. Harrington of Boston, who presented him with no heir, but was proven a veritable mother to her stepchildren.
Captain Stone was a very social man. He had a wider acquaintance than almost anyone else in the city could claim, and this acquaintance was a distinct gain to its possessor. His friendships were of the deepest kind, nor could he stand any difference that bore the slightest touch of estangement. He was extremely liberal, but his benefactions were conferred so quietly none but the recipient had knowledge of it. Not less than half a dozen of Cincinnati's prominent men owe their present standing and success to the money he gave them to start in business. Several artists who are abroad received liberal allowances from him, and he frequently purchased pictures from struggling painters, all of which he facetiously said went into the art gallery in the tower of his home. He was also public-spirited in the highest sense of the term. When the affairs of the Zoo were at a crisis, he was the first to rise in the Optimist Club and subscribed $5,000 for its relief, a step that finally resulted in its present good financial standing. When the matter of parks was agitated he approached the president of the commission and guaranteed to pay the expenses of legislation for the passage of a bill allowing Cincinnati to issue bonds for their establishment. He it was that secured the substitution of electricity for horses in the railroads of that city, and was the originator of many improvements in its service, though a majority of the directors were too conservative to adopt all his reforms. He was the first to advocate burying all wires, and set the example by interring his own. Of course, death has, at least temporarily checked the materialization of many plans he was entertaining for the benefit of the city, as the erection of a million dollar hotel, a skyscraper, and a country clubhouse. The construction of a million dollar building for light manufacturing had previously fallen through because of inability to secure a proper site. His death will long be felt in the city of his adoption. Few men were so generally beloved as he by old and young, rich and poor alike, for he was never so happy as when doing some unexpected act of kindness. His remembrance will be cherished as a bright example of the inherent excellence of manhood.
Some three years before his death a woman went to her pastor and told him that for months her husband had been out of work, that despite determined efforts he had been unable to secure employment, that they were face to face with starvation, and if he was unable to help her they intended that night to end their lives with charcoal fumes. Incidently she mentioned coming from a certain New England city. The minister said at once: 'That's the native town of Capt. George N. Stone. I know him very well, and he is man of charity, and I believe he will be able to do something for you.' 'The last man on earth to whom we could go,' replied the woman. 'My husband and I knew George Stone when we were young. When we were married he was the only young man in town who was not invited to our wedding, and the truth is, he was slighted because he was a poor boy, and we considered ourselves above him, and I know he felt it keenly.' The clergyman assured her that he did not think Captain Stone would harbor ill-will and prevailed upon her to accompany him to his office. When her story was made known the Captain not only did not speak of former days but lost no time in providing a good paying position for the man which is still retained.

JOHN SULLIVAN. Adjutant John Sullivan was born in Waterford, Ireland, in 1834. He served in the Sixth United States Infantry, Col. Albert Sidney Johnston, during the Mormon War. From that regiment he was discharged in 1862, holding at the time the rank of sergeant-major. With a comrade he came east and enlisted in Company D, of which he was the first orderly sergeant. December 2d he was on detached duty as acting sergeant-major. Jan. 7, 1863, he was promoted to second lieutenant and assigned to Company K. On the 22d he was detailed acting adjutant, to which position he was commissioned March 1st, with the rank of first lieutenant. Just at dark, July 14th, he left the author and a comrade on the front line whither he had conducted them to point out the body of Sergt. John K. Hull, of Company K. He had directed them to remove it to the rear and prepare it for burial, which instructions were carried out, but the adjutant missed his way and wandered into the rebel lines, where he was made prisoner. He was confined in Andersonville and other prisons until Feb. 22, 1865, when he was paroled at James River, Va.
While at Salisbury, N.C., he organized a squad of prisoners who went to work and excavated a tunnel some sixty yards in length. On the first dark night, six departed, three going one way, three the opposite. The Sullivan squad traveled until morning, and then visited a negro cabin, soliciting advice. The colored man took them in, kept them and after dark conducted them several miles to the home of another friendly darky who took them through the mountains to East Tennessee, where they expected absolute freedom in the immediate future. Suddenly a man appeared in the road they were traveling. He halted them, and, when they replied evasively to his challenge, he charged them with being escaped Union prisoners and ordered them to come with him. Thus they were returned for several additional months to rebel bondage.
He was borne as absent with leave for thirty days by orders dated February 26th, but did not rejoin the regiment until the evening of April 3d, when the command had bivouacked on the first night out of Peterburg in pursuit of Lee.
After his muster out, June 9th, he returned to his former home in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was married October 25th. That same year he enlisted in the Eighteenth United States Infantry, at Columbus, Ohio, and stationed at Fort Lyon, Kan.; Fort McPherson, Neb.; Fort Fullerman, Wyo., and other places, holding the rank of sergeant-major. Upon the expiration of his term of service (1868) he was discharged at Julesburg, Col. He died at Loveland, Larmer Country, Col., July 3, 1872. His occupation had been that of bookkeeper.
p. 414 - 415:
GEORGE A. SWARTS. Corporal George Augustus Swarts, son of Gardner Taber and Elisha Wood Ham Swarts (sic), was born in Providence, Jan. 15, 1830. His education was recieved in the public schools of that city. He was a member of the second class that entered the old high school on Benefit Street, between Angell and Waterman. That was in the year 1844. Upon the conclusion of his studies he entered into business life, and after a time, was associated with his father as a funeral director. At the battle of Fredericksburg, he was severely wounded, a bullet penetrating his chest near its centre and lodging at some unknown part of its interior. He was sent to Carver General Hospital, Jan. 12, 1863, when he received a leave of absence for sixty days, reaching home on the seventeenth. He underwent careful examination at Washington and at his home, resulting in his discharge on surgeon's certificate dated at Providence May 10, 1863. He died on pneumonia April 19, 1867, and was buried with Masonic honors, being a member of St. John's Lodge, No. 1, of that city. He had married Feb. 28, 1850, Elizabeth Davison, a native of Doneybraggy, Moneymore, County Derry, Ireland, who with a daughter and a son, George G. Swarts, survived him. Mrs. Swarts died Aug. 6, 1900, aged seventy-two years, eleven months, five days.
p. 415:
JOSEPH S. SWEATT. Sergeant Joseph Sawyer Sweatt, eldest son of Ira and Mary S. Sweatt, was born in the town of Boscawen, N.H., Oct. 28, 1843. He was fitted in the schools of that town and of Fisherville (now Penncook) for the Tilton (N.H.) Seminary, which he left for the purpose of enlisting in the Second New Hampshire, a three months' regiment. He was thus present at the First Bull Run. During the retreat he was one of the many who were lost from their regiment and was reported killed, but, at length, he found his way back to his command. Upon his muster out he immediately joined the Second New Hampshire (three years) Volunteers, but soon after was taken sick, discharged, and sent home. A little later he went to Woonsocket, R.I., where an uncle resided, the late Enoch Sweatt, railroad contractor, and was by him employed as an assistant civil engineer. When the call came for 'three hundred thousand more', he enlisted as an orderly sergeant in the Seventh Rhode Island. He was wounded at Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862, and was taken to Windmill Point Hospital, Md. There his father visited him, and, after fourteen days, was able to remove him to Washington. After a brief rest he took him home to New Hampshire, but he lived only ten days after his arrival. Yet he was very thankful to gaze once more upon familiar scenes, and to die among his friends. His final and fatal illness was typhoid fever, to which he succumbed March 6, 1863. Three older sisters survive.
p. 415:
JOB R. SWEETLAND. Job Russell Sweetland, only child of Job Russell and
Jane Chase Russell Sweetland, was born at Pawtucket, R.I., Dec. 13, 1841.
As he lost his parents when very young, most of his life was passed with
Mrs. Ann G. Sweetland, his grandmother, and Mrs. Mary A. Woodworth, an
aunt whose husband, John A. Woodworth, was for many years a saleman at
Kimball's Clothing House on Washington Row, Providence. Mrs. Woodworth,
now resides, a widow, at No. 352 Pine Street, in that city. As might
be inferred, most of Job's days were spent there, and there he secured
what was considered a good English education. Meanwhile, he connected
himself with a tailoring establishment, first as errand boy, then as stock
clerk and general assistant. This was his occupation at the time
of his enlistment. He was wounded in the hip at Fredericksburg and
lay for a long time on the cold ground, through one night surely, before
he was cared for. He was then taken to a hospital in Washington,
D. C., where after lingering some weeks, he died of gangrene, then believed
to be the result of severe exposure and long delay in receiving proper
attention. His uncle, Albert W. Sweetland, of Providence, went to
him, spent much time with him, was present at his death, Feb. 28, 1863,
and brought his body home with him. It was buried in Mineral Spring
Cemetery, Pawtucket. Job was possessed of marked mechanical ability,
and had given indications of inventive talent. He received his death
wound on the twenty-first anniversary of his birth.

FTC Endorsement Guidelines For 2018 [Infographic]
For the latest authoritative marketing news, trends, and stats on social media, digital stars, and influencer marketing, subscribe to our industry digest newsletter!
The Updated 2018 FTC Endorsement Guidelines: What Brands Must Know For Sponsorships On Social Media & With Influencers [Infographic]
The FTC's new endorsement guidelines for sponsored content rests on a simple assumption: consumers are likely to react differently to recommendations that come from trusted friends (or social media stars) than from people who receive compensation to endorse a product. To that end, the FTC is attempting to create more transparency in sponsored social media content by placing more onus on brands (and in some cases, on influencers too) to openly divulge the relationship between companies and the digital stars who recommend their products or services.
While the FTC now offers more guidance on exactly what it expects proper disclosure to look and/or sound like—the agency even published a simple Q&A to address marketers' basic concerns—the ever-changing nature of social media makes establishing a set of clear-cut rules nearly impossible. Instead, the FTC offers a number of guidelines that brands can follow to convey a reasonable degree of transparency to digital media/social media consumers.
Based on our experience developing sponsored social media content for global brands, we've identified what we believe to be the most important FTC endorsement rules below.

The 2018 FTC Endorsement Guidelines For Sponsored Social Media
The following infographic should not be taken as legal advice. Rather, it should be used as a general guideline for making sure that sponsored content meets (to a reasonable degree) the newest FTC endorsement rules and regulations for 2018:
Find our infographic helpful? Please share with a Tweet!
Overview Of The FTC Endorsement Guidelines By Social Media Platform
FTC guidelines state that proper disclosure must be provided whenever a social media user is provided with financial compensation, free product, or a gift provided in exchange for a post. Proper disclosure must be provided each time a previously sponsored product or service is included in a post. Additionally, content creators must disclose when they have a family relationship with a brand.
Because every social media platform is different, the FTC has different endorsement requirements for sponsored content on YouTube, Instagram, blogs, etc. The following are some of the FTC's recommendations for sponsorships on:
- YouTubers/brands should use words or phrases that are clear and unambiguous, such as "This video is sponsored by…" and include sponsorship information above the "show more" button.
- Disclosure should be included as a clear and written overlay on the video. Additional verbal disclosure is also recommended. In both verbal and written form, disclosures should appear close to the beginning of the video; for written disclosures, words must remain on the screen long enough to be read and understood.
- Avoid using ambiguous phrases like "thanks to…", attempting to hide written disclosures at the bottom of the video description, or failing to include written and verbal disclosure within the video itself.
- YouTube's built-in paid promotion tool is not considered sufficient disclosure by the FTC. When using the paid promotion tool, include additional proper disclosure.
- Use hashtags #sponsored, #ad, #paid to indicate sponsorship, but avoid using ambiguous hashtag disclosures like #sp, #spon, #collab, or #ambassador. When using ambiguous disclosures, include additional proper disclosure.
- Place the disclosure before the "more" button and at the beginning of the content description, if possible. Don't disclose sponsorship in the comments or attempt to bury disclosure among other hashtags.
- Instagram's built-in paid partnership tag is not considered sufficient disclosure by the FTC. When using the paid partnership tag, include additional proper disclosure.
- For Instagram Stories, disclosure should be superimposed on the image.
- Sponsored Snaps or Snapchat Stories must have #ad, #sponsored, or #paid written or superimposed directly on sponsored content. If an entire Snapchat Story is sponsored, the disclosure should appear on the first Snap of the Story.
- Disclosure should also be made verbally if sponsored Snapchat content is a video.
- Avoid using #sp, #spon, #collab, #ambassador or any other ambiguous hashtags that do not clearly communicate the sponsorship or fail to verbally disclose sponsorship if sponsored content is a video.
- Sponsored Snaps or Snapchat Stories must have #ad, #sponsored, or #paid written directly on sponsored content. If an entire Snapchat Story is sponsored, the disclosure should appear on the first or second Snap of the Story.
- For endorsements that appear in blogs, disclosure should be written in clear, unambiguous phrases like "This post is sponsored by…" and in a legible font.
- Disclosures should occur at the beginning of the blog post and should not require the user to scroll to see the sponsorship information.
- Disclosing on the homepage does not replace the need to disclose on individual sponsored blog posts.
- Disclose sponsorship at the beginning of the post description using #sponsored, #ad, or #paid (if disclosing sponsorship with hashtags) and by tagging the brand whenever possible.
- If sponsored content is a video, disclose sponsorship as a clear and written overlay on the video. Additional verbal disclosure is also recommended.
- Avoid using phrases or hashtags that are unclear or ambiguous, such as #sp, #spon, #collab, #ambassador, "Thanks to…" or "Video made possible by…". Accompany ambiguous disclosures with additional proper disclosure.
- Disclose sponsorship verbally at the beginning of the video and include disclosure in the video description in clear, unambiguous language.
- For lengthy sponsored livestreams, disclose periodically throughout the livestream .
- If using hashtags, disclose with #ad, #sponsored, or #paid.
- Do not use ambiguous words or phrases such as #sp, #spon, #collaboration, "Thanks to…" or "Video made possible by…".
- Sponsored tweets must include #ad or #paid, preferably near the beginning of the tweet. The sponsoring brand may also be tagged when applicable.
- Ambiguous or unclear hashtags—#spon, #sp, #collaboration—should be avoided, and must be accompanied by additional proper disclosure hashtags if used.
FTC Endorsement Guidelines By Communication Type
While knowing platform-specific FTC endorsement guidelines can be helpful, the FTC is more concerned about the types of disclosure and less with how each disclosure appears on any given social media platform. Here are the FTC's recommendations for:
- Social influencers/brands should use #sponsored, #ad, #paid, #[Brand]Ambassador or any hashtag that clearly and unambiguously conveys sponsorship. Avoid using #spon, #sp, #partner, #ambassador, #collab, #collaboration or any other hashtag that doesn't clearly convey nature of sponsored content.
- Use #[Brand]Sweepstakes in hashtags for contests and sweepstakes.
- Place disclosure hashtags at the beginning of a social description or blog post. Do not place hashtags at the end of the description, require users to click "more" to see the disclosure, include disclosure in the comments section only, or hide disclosure among many other hashtags.
- Say "This post is sponsored by..." or other phrases that clearly conveys sponsorship. Verbally disclosures must come as close to the beginning of videos, podcasts, or other sponsored content as possible.
- Avoid using ambiguous verbiage such as "Thanks to…" or other phrases that do not clearly denote the relationship between brand and social influencer. Also, avoid verbally disclosing the sponsorship at the end of videos, podcast, and other sponsored content.
- Written disclosures must employ clear wording, such as "This post is sponsored by…". Written disclosures must also be visible, appear in a different color than the background color, occur at the top/beginning of sponsored social media content, and remain on the screen long enough to be read and understood (for written disclosures in videos).
- Disclosures should not appear as written phrases that are unclear, such as "Thanks to…" or "Made possible by…".
- Acceptable language to meet FTC endorsement guidelines include:
- "Sponsored by…"
- "Paid for by…"
- "This product was given to me by…"
- Language that does not meet FTC endorsement guidelines includes:
- "In partnership with..."
- "Thanks to…"
- "In collaboration with…"
- "This brand rocks!"

7:00 AM | An active start to the week with a couple of different disturbances; snow threat later tomorrow/tomorrow night primarily confined to Route I-80 and north; 60's likely on Thursday and Friday
Paul Dorian
6-Day Philly Forecast
rain and snow showers pull out of the area early today and the cloudy skies will give way to sunshine for the afternoon, becoming quite breezy and turning milder, highs in the mid-to-upper 50's later in the day
Partly cloudy, chilly, lows in the low-to-mid 30's
Becoming cloudy, chilly, rain likely during the afternoon and it can be mixed with snow at times across northern sections, near 50 degrees for highs
Tuesday Night
Rain likely during the evening and it can be mixed with snow at times across northern sections, cold, late night lows in the lower 30's
Mainly sunny, breezy, chilly, near 50 degrees
Mostly sunny, becoming breezy and noticeably milder, low 60's
Mostly cloudy, quite mild, showers likely, low-to-mid 60's
Partly sunny, colder, breezy, chance for showers, upper 40's
After a weekend with winter-like cold, temperatures will moderate somewhat by later today and there should be a noticeable warm up later in the week with 60's likely on Thursday and Friday. A weak disturbance swinging by to our north this morning produced clouds and showers of rain or snow, but it will push away this afternoon and skies should clear. High pressure will then take control for tonight and early Tuesday, but then yet another disturbance will drop to the southeast from the Great Lakes region and it should produce rain in the area later tomorrow and early tomorrow night and there can be snowflakes mixed in at times; especially, in northernmost sections - those higher elevation areas north of Route I-80 can get primarily snow. Following that second disturbance, Wednesday looks to be quiet, but chilly, and then it'll turn significantly milder on Thursday and Friday ahead of the next cold frontal system. That front is likely to generate showers in the region on Friday and then usher in colder air for the upcoming Easter weekend.

I'm still over weight, hubby actually noticed this morning that I am getting bigger. Well, for one I stopped dieting, I don't take any diet pill or slimming supplements. My only exercise now is going up to my office which is in 3rd floor walking and going down again in the afternoon. I know I did not take my losing weight seriously. And I don't want to say I am going to exercise and diet again. Promises..promises.
You see, I stopped dieting but I actually learned to eat the right way now, not a lot of sugars, small amount of everything, no midnight snacks, and we learn to get away with oily foods too. We boil instead of frying.
But I guess the PCO syndrome is really making it hard for me to lose weight. But still I am thankful I don't have all the side effects of it like having so much hair, acne, diabetes, and etc.
I will give it a try for the second time. I don't have much time left I am getting old and if I still don't bear a child, well God knows BEST!

Starring: Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell,
Adam Beach, Paul Dano, Noah Ringer, Keith Carradine,
Clancy Brown & Ana de la Reguera
Directed by Jon Favreau for distribution by Universal Pictures
The Plot: A drifter (Craig) awakens in a small Western town with no memory of how he got there and soon finds himself teaming with the local sheriff (Ford) to battle a invading group of aliens from outer space.
The Final Word: Jon Favreau has taken an ageless genre and put a new spin on it, but best of all it's in 2D! The movie already has enough gimmicks; it doesn't need an added dimension as well. Craig and Ford should make for a fun on-screen paring and Olivia Wilde is one of the hottest rising young actresses. This is the role the "House" actress took that set up her (well written) temporary exit from the series.
Starring: Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Sofia Vergara, Hank Azaria, Anton Yelchin, Jonathan Winters, Katy Perry, Alan Cumming, Fred Armisen,
George Lopez, Paul Reubens, John Oliver, Kenan Thompson,
B.J. Novak, Jeff Foxworthy, Wolfgang Puck, Gary Basaraba & Tim Gunn
Directed by Raja Gosnell for distribution by Columbia (Sony)
The Plot: Chased out of their own world by the evil Gargamel (Azaria), the Smurfs find themselves in a place they are unfamiliar with; Earth! Now the little blue cartoon characters must rely on the help of a married New York City couple (Harris, Mays) to find their way home.
The Final Word: Well it was only a matter of time before the friendly little blue animated kid icons got the big screen treatment and audiences are looking forward to their return. With a mix of CGI and live action, the Smurfs return to the world of pop culture sporting a strong voice ensemble and a perfectly casted Hank Azaria as the evil Gargamel. Audiences should feel nostalgic enough to give this film version a go, but some older viewers may be turned off by some of the lower brow humor shown off the trailer. Regardless, Columbia is expecting their blue friends to translate into a lot of green.
Starring: Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore,
Marisa Tomei, Kevin Bacon & John Carroll Lynch
Directed by Glenn Ficarra & John Requa for distribution by Warner Brothers
The Plot: After learning that his wife (Moore) has been cheating on him, a married man (Carrell) teams up with a cocky playboy (Gosling) to get back in the dating game.
The Final Word: Steve Carell's "Office" exit has opened the doors to more movie opportunities for the talented and affable actor. Here, he teams with a who's who of Hollywood including the very in demand Emma Stone, who became a hot commodity after last year's "Easy A." All of the leads have proven they can hold their own, but this a big chance for Gosling, who has yet to be showcase his comedic side. Paired with Carell, they'll create a new type of "odd couple" which audiences could really enjoy watching.
Previewed next week: "The Change-Up" and "Rise of the Planet of The Apes"

like jets at 1 but eagles need to move up
The Razz and Jazz Sports Blog NFL Power Rankings Week 11 by Derrel "Jazz" Johnson
- Updated: November 23, 2010
1.New York Jets. The Jets remain in the number one position after a clutch win in which they blew a 16-point fourth quarter lead. (http://razzandjazzsports.wordpress.com/2010/11/22/jets-blow-16-point-fourth-quarter-lead-but-rally-to-defeat-texans-30-27-by-derrel-%E2%80%9Cjazz%E2%80%9D-johnson/) The Jets play the late game on Thanksgiving, so we will see how the quick turnaround works for the team. The ability to comeback and win in the clutch is what makes the Jets number one this week. Second-year quarterback Mark Sanchez has made tremendous strides in his second year, and the veteran leadership of LaDainian Tomlinson, combined with the big-play abilities of Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes have many Jet fans dreaming of playing in Dallas in February.
2.New England Patriots. The Patriots held on to defeat the Indianapolis Colts 31-28, holding off a furious comeback attempt by the Colts. At 8-2, the Patriots are tied with the Jets and the Falcons with the best record in the league, and own quality victories over the Colts and Steelers. Tom Brady has the offensive back on track, and with one of the best coach/quarterback combinations of all time, the Patriots may make another run at a Super Bowl. The Patriots play at Detroit Thursday.
3.Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens demolished the 1-9 Carolina Panthers 37-13, and lead the AFC North based on a victory over the Steelers earlier in the season. The Ravens improved to 3-3 on the road and are 4-0 at home, where they have four games remaining this season. Joe Flacco, passing for 301 yards in this one, has the offense looking at a deep playoff run and possibly a Super Bowl. The Ravens host Tampa Bay Sunday.
4.Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers dominated the Oakland Raiders 35-3 in improve to 7-3. With Super Bowl experience, the Steelers will be in the hunt for another ring with two-time Super Bowl winning starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger leading the offense and Troy Polamalu leading the defense. The Steelers play at Buffalo Sunday.
5. Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons defeated the St. Louis Rams 34-17, and are the only 8-2 team in the National Football Conference. Third-year quarterback Matt Ryan and Michael Turner are having another good year, and the veteran leadership of Tony Gonzalez has the Falcons possibly making a deep playoff run, one that could lead to the Super Bowl. The Falcons host Green Bay Sunday.
6. New Orleans Saints. The Saints offense continues to dominate, as quarterback Dree Brees threw for 382 yards and 4 touchdowns, as the Saints defeated the Seattle Seahawks 34-19. For other NFC teams, the frightening thing is Reggie Bush will return soon and the Saints will have another offensive talent to make a run at a Super Bowl repeat. The Saints play at Dallas Thursday.
7. The Philadelphia Eagles. Michael Vick and the Eagles defeated their division rival New York Giants to take control of the NFC Eastern Division. If Michael Vick stays healthy, the Eagles will have a legitimate run at a Super Bowl appearance with their explosive offensive and underrated defense. The Eagles play at Chicago Sunday.
8. Green Bay Packers. The Packers embarrassed the Minnesota Vikings, 31-3, which resulted in their coach getting fired. Aaron Rodgers threw for 301 yards and 4 touchdowns, and continues to play like a Pro-Bowler. The Packers are tied with the Bears for being the stingiest defensive in the league, allowing 146 points. Despite a lot of injuries, the Packers have played well, and the coaching staff deserves a lot of credit for it. Green Bay plays at Atlanta Sunday.
9. Chicago Bears. The Bears shutout the Denver Broncos 16-0 on Thursday, and are tied with the Green Bay Packers with allowing the least amount of points in the league, 146, and, with the cold weather coming soon to that area, home-field advantage will be crucial in making a Super Bowl run. Chicago has the lead in the division over the Packers based on a win earlier in the season, and will need to hold on to it. The Bears host the Eagles Sunday.
10.The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers continue to be the biggest surprise of the NFL season, with a 7-3 record and in the playoff hunt. Head coach Raheem Morris has the team believing they can win, but a point differential of only 3, (209 scored, 206 allowed) makes many still skeptical of the team. They play at Baltimore Sunday.

Historically, the only standardized piece of the uniform has been the jersey, which has to be of identical design by the same company for all members of a team. Other uniform elements merely have a color scheme, allowing individual players to select their own brand and model colored to match the uniform scheme, but not necessarily identical in appearance. Sticks and other equipment worn under the clothes are not part of the uniform and have no requirements in terms of matching a team uniform; teams will sometimes provide players with team-brand undershirts or other under-clothing, but players are not required or limited to wearing them.
Goalies often have their pads and gloves and masks colored to match the team's uniform scheme, but there is no requirement for this equipment to match, and goalies who transfer to a new team often play their old equipment until new colors can be obtained. Alternatively, players who transfer teams have sometimes had their gloves painted temporarily to match the required colors, and are given new helmets.
Each is currently required to have two uniform designs: One with a white base (or sometimes historically, a light color), and one with a darker-colored base. Since the 200304 season, NHL teams typically wear the dark color at home and the white for road games; there are occasional single-game exceptions. The only element allowed by NHL rules to be interchangeable between the two uniforms is the pants.
Third jersey program
Starting in 1995 (excluding a few prior isolated instances), some teams began to design a third jersey, which allowed them to experiment with new designs, or throwback to a vintage design. Though they are termed third jerseys, they can actually entail an entirely separate uniform from the primary uniforms, often including alternate socks, and sometimes alternate helmets and other equipment. Some third jerseys have eventually become the bases for new primary jersey designs.
Third jerseys are typically worn only a few times a season by special permission of the league, based on a list of requested games. They can also be worn during selected playoff games. The third jersey program, as the NHL came to call it, was discontinued for the 200708 season, with the introduction of the Rbk Edge jersey, but was reintroduced for the 200809 season.
A team's desire to wear their third jersey sometimes requires the opposing team to wear their home or road jersey when the opposite would be normally worn, due to the color of the third jersey. This can occur when a road team wishes to wear a colored third jersey, or a home team wishes to wear a white third jersey, as there must be one team each wearing white and colored uniforms in a game. This can require a team to carry two sets of uniforms and equipment on the road, whether they are using their third jerseys, or are playing against a team who is.
The most recognized element of a team's uniform is probably their jersey or sweater, which is the only element of the NHL Uniform which is mass marketed to the public.
Most NHL jerseys display the team's primary logo in the centre of the chest, while some also display secondary logos on the shoulders. Each player in a team's lineup for a game must have a different number displayed on the back of their jersey, as well as the player's surname above their number on the back of their jersey. While not required, teams typically place their numbers on each upper arm as well. Team captains and alternate captains wear the letters "C" and "A" respectively on the front of their jerseys. Jerseys have a loop of fabric sewn into the inside jersey back, called a "fight strap" or "tie-down", which must be secured to the player's pants during a game, to prevent the jersey from being pulled over the player's head in a fight.
In recent years, teams have sold both "pro" model jerseys, ostensibly identical to those worn by players, and "replica" quality jerseys which are cheaper versions that typically use cheaper production methods and lower-quality materials. Replica versions typically lack the fight strap, and in recent years have an additional brand logo on the left wrist.
Prior to 2000, Different NHL teams had contracts with different manufacturers for their jerseys, although in some years all or most teams had a deal with one supplier. Manufacturers included Nike, Starter, Pro Player, CCM, and Koho.
From the 200001 season, up to the 200506 NHL season, all team jerseys were made by The Hockey Company in an NHL-wide deal, and were branded with subsidiary brands. The Koho brand was on dark jerseys and third jerseys, while the CCM brand was on the white jerseys. The Hockey Company began the practice of putting the manufacturer's logo on the back of the jersey, below the neck, rather than on the back of the waist hem, as had previously been the practice. Jofa, another subsidiary, made the jerseys for referees and linesmen until the 200506 season, when they were re-branded CCM which they remain as of 200809.
Following Reebok's purchase of The Hockey Company, all official NHL team jerseys were switched to the Reebok (Rbk Hockey) brand (which is more familiar to the general public), while cheaper replica jerseys sold to fans retained the CCM branding. Reebok logos are on the side boards in all NHL arenas (for marketing purposes) just above the blue and red lines.
Since 2007: Reebok Edge
The Rbk Edge, or simply Edge, is a newer line of jerseys designed by Reebok. They were announced by Reebok after nearly three years of development. The new jerseys are tighter-fitting, are less water-absorbent, and are more flexible than before.It was intended to make players more manoeuvrable on the ice. The Edge jerseys were unveiled at the 55th National Hockey League All-Star Game and began to be worn, league-wide, from the 200708 NHL season onwards. Almost every team in the league made at least minor changes to their uniform design in conjunction with implementing the new jersey style. The San Jose Sharks, Tampa Bay Lightning, Ottawa Senators, Vancouver Canucks, and Washington Capitals redesigned their uniforms altogether with a new or updated logo. The Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild used their alternate jersey from the previous three seasons as the basis for their new uniforms, complete with the team adopting the alternate logo from their alternates as their primary logo.
Along with the traditional differences between the replica and authentic versions of NHL jerseys, the replica (billed as "premier") versions of the Edge jersey sold to the public have a "jock tag" on the left side of the front near the waist with the Reebok vector, NHL logo, and jersey size. While NHL.com lists a jock tag as a feature on the authentic jerseys as well, jerseys sold at retail seem not to have this tag.
Citing player complaints, Reebok later modified the Edge jerseys, removing the play-dry material in the front and making the sleeves bigger. The modified jerseys, dubbed the Edge II, made their debut at the 2008 NHL Winter Classic on January 1, 2008.
The Reebok Edge jersey continues to evolve, as the current Reebok Edge material more closely resembles that of the pre-2007 CCM/Reebok jerseys than the original Reebok Edge material.[verification needed]
Other equipment
A team's uniform also includes color requirements for other equipment, while not requiring players to use a specific brand or model, so they may select equipment to their preferences. This includes a player's gloves, short pants, and helmet. Socks are also part of the uniform design, historically with some pattern of horizontal stripes. Nonetheless, CCM/Reebok has traditionally been one of the leading suppliers of player equipment and skates, if not the number one supplier.
There is a sock and pant design by Rbk with similar technological improvements and design intentions.

There's something else that needs clarifying around here: butter. For the longest time I wondered why so many videos and tutorials existed on how to make ghee, since I was making it with no trouble. Turns out I wasn't.
Butter contains only minute amounts of lactose, but for those of us who've "gone primal/paleo", are on Whole 30 (phase 2), or are sensitive to milk protein (casein) but not ready to give up butter entirely, clarifying is the answer. The result is golden, semi-solid fat which keeps much longer than its predecessor. And it's not nearly as weird new-agey as you might think. "Potting" in fact is an old English technique of preserving meats in clarified butter. It's the "drawn butter" traditionally served as a dip with lobster and crab. It seals paté so it will keep longer. It has a higher smoke point than butter so it's also commonly used for shallow frying where the butter flavour is desired but the risk of scorching is not.
Theoretically all butter should be made up of minimal solids, 18% water and 80+% fat, but as soon as you start melting it you'll know that theory and practice might have met at a party once but haven't kept in touch. I buy Kerryg0ld butter because it is primarily from grass-fed cows, and because it costs a lot less than my local raw Alpine butter, which turns out to have significantly more milk solids by weight (making the price spread even wider once it's been clarified). The raw versus pasteurized question is also a bit of a non-issue with butter because the concern with heat effects on milk apply to the proteins. In the interests of completeness I'll mention that there is an argument for using cultured butter, and it is the traditional way of making butter, but I can't speak to that personally since - by not eating bread - I really only cook with it and so can't taste a difference.
Once you've got the right product, clarifying butter is very easy.
- Put your butter in a Pyrex ewer with a spout.
- Put it in the oven as it cools down from baking something unrelated. Fan optional, since it cools the oven faster but may aid in evaporation.
- Wait. If you're doing 2 or more blocks of butter at a time you may need to leave the heat on low for a while, but the point is just to melt the butter and evaporate the water. When you peek through the oven door and see that it's all melted, you'll also see that the solids have sunk to the bottom.
- Top a tempered jar with a muslin square and fine sieve, and carefully strain your melted butter off the solids and into the jar. Don't push, or the solids will force their way into the clarified butter. I tend to hang the muslin from an upper cupboard handle to let the last of the butter drip through overnight, and use the buttery cloth to oil a pan or two the next day before rinsing it in very hot water and tossing in the wash. The solids can be used as a spread for bread by those who can handle casein. In fact it makes great herb or garlic butter if you want the herb flavour to dominate rather than the butter taste.
That's it: melt, separate, go.
The process for ghee is similar but involves a little more time, a little more heat, and a lot more supervision. The end result is more flavourful than clarified butter, and lasts even longer. There's a good tutorial on how to make it here which I won't duplicate, but I will point out that the key difference is that with ghee you toast the milk solids before separating them from the oil. As all (most?) fats and oils readily take on flavours, the ghee thus takes on a nutty taste that is responsible for the French term for ghee: beurre noisette. Here's a bit of history, poetry and practicalities about ghee. Yes, there is poetry about fats.
A final note on separating butter into its component parts: the top foam is commonly referred to as impurities. I find very little top foam on my Kerryg0ld clarified butter, but you may want to skim a bit if you're worried.
The topic of impurities brings me back to the problem of blocked comments to my blog posts: it seems that overzealous cookie blockers may be to blame. I found this forum string which told me to "allow third-party cookies" (in Firefox: tools>options>privacy) and found the problem solved. I have a sneaking suspicion that this may open me up to some security problems though - if you can advise, comment!
If this continues to be a problem I may have to alter the way comments are entered here, such as using a pop-up window, but that carries its own complications. Let me know what works for you and I'll do what I can. Your comments are a big part of why I write, so I don't want to lose a single one to a technical glitch!
ps: in keeping with today's theme, here's an article clarifying the difference between parmesan and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses. I tolerate small amounts of "parma", perhaps because it is some of the lowest lactose cheese available due to its very long aging process, during which the culturing bacteria consume nearly all the milk sugars. Won't help you with the casein though!

Universal cans "Cartel"
Looks like no one can save "Cartel" from being shut down. Universal has canned the $42.5 million film before it soared over budget.
The studio felt it wasn't a strong enough script to continue to sink money into when they were sure there would be no significant profit from the film.
A remake of the 1993 Italian film La Scorta, (because we needed another remake) the film was set to star Josh Brolin. Though a talented actor, the studio wasn't sure that this film would net any profits as it's budget continued to climb. But no worries for Brolin as he has a "PAY-OR-PLAY" deal with the studio. This means he'll still net his 7 figure salary even though the film will not be made. How nice for him.
I'm going to say what most people in this industry won't say, Why the Fuck are studios plummeting their businesses into the ground with rehashed ideas and untalented writers?
If a company knows they don't like the script, then why begin pre-production? They waste the time of everyone involved in the project. Now all of those crew members are out of work because the project was weak to begin with, this is bad business.
Looks like the only one walking away safe is Josh Brolin. Good for him and his management team for covering their bases. They probably knew the project was doomed when Sean Penn walked away and figured this was a safety net.
I do not agree with actor salaries. Maybe, one day I'll eat those words if I ever bank 7 figures for a role, but let's be honest, does Josh Brolin deserve a 7 figure salary for not doing any work?
The money Universal sank into getting the film this far into pre-production and then pulling out could have easily made 20 indie films.
Maybe they'll be more cautious before they greenlight a project that doesn't have a strong foundation.

Thom Sokolosky and his team created the second encampment, basically a gigantic outdoor group art show for local artists. Each artist is assigned a tent, which are similar to those from the civil war and lit up with a small light source. The reception was phenomenal, I think over 10000 people visited the encampment over the course of the weekend (it was open until 1am each night). An of course, Manhattan looks great from Roosevelt Island, and I liked the opportunity to finally take some panoramas from that location, since the park usually closes at sunset.
5 more panoramas after the break.
Digital, each about 50 megapixel.

LONDON - Manchester City moved to within touching distance of a fifth English league title after bouncing back from a bitterly disappointing week to beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at Wembley on Saturday.
Defeat for Spurs handed Chelsea a glimmer of hope in the fight for Champions League places after they came from 2-0 down to beat Southampton 3-2, but Liverpool strengthened their position in the top four as Mohamed Salah scored his 40th goal of the season in a routine 3-0 win over Bournemouth.
City blew the chance to seal the title by losing 3-2 at home to local rivals Manchester United last weekend and was then dumped out the Champions League at the quarter-final stage 5-1 on aggregate by Liverpool in midweek.
However, Pep Guardiola&39;s men showed why they have been compared with the all-time great teams of the Premier League era by inflicting Spurs&39; first league defeat since the sides last met at the Etihad in December.
"I said after 10-15 minutes we will be champions," said Guardiola of his side&39;s fast start. "After what happened and how the people reacted, these guys are fantastic. They are awesome, they are incredible.
"What they lived in the last week was so unfair but they deserve (to win the league) and now we have a match ball. We had the first one against United, we could not do it and now we have another one against Swansea with our 60,000 people and we are going to try to be champion."
City host Swansea next Sunday but could even be confirmed as champions as early as Sunday if United lose at home to rock-bottom West Brom.
Gabriel Jesus raced in behind an unsettled Spurs defence to drill home the opener on 22 minutes and Ilkay Gundogan slotted home the second from the penalty spot three minutes later as Hugo Lloris wiped out Raheem Sterling, although replays suggested the contact took place outside the area.
Just like against United last weekend when a 2-0 half-time lead disappeared in 16 minutes, City threatened to let another promising position slip away when Christian Eriksen brought Spurs back into the game just before the break with a bit of fortune when Aymeric Laporte&39;s clearance ricocheted off the Dane and past the helpless Ederson.
However, this time there was no second-half collapse as City should have run out even more convincing winners.
Jesus and Sterling passed up huge chances to add to their lead before Sterling -- who also missed two great opportunities when City was 2-0 up on United last weekend -- finally found the roof of the net after Lloris parried another Jesus effort.
Salah has the wow factor
City&39;s Champions League conquerors moved ever closer to sealing their place in the competition next season as Liverpool cruised past Bournemouth with Salah again taking centre stage.
"What a number. Wow!" exclaimed manager Jurgen Klopp on hearing Salah is the first Liverpool player since Ian Rush 31 years ago to score 40 in a season.
"Mo knows what this means and the way we play suits him," added Klopp. "For him, for the boys, it's fantastic and today he certainly didn't look like he doesn't want to score in the next few games."
All of Liverpool&39;s prolific front three were on target as Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino struck either side of Salah&39;s deft header to take their combined tally for the season to 82.
Chelsea kept their faint hopes of Champions League football next season alive by closing to within seven points of Spurs with a stunning eight-minute fightback to deepen Southampton&39;s predicament in the bottom three.
Saints led 2-0 with 20 minutes remaining through Dusan Tadic and debutant Jan Bednarek.
However, Olivier Giroud came off the bench to finally kickstart his Chelsea career with his first two Premier League goals for the club either side of Eden Hazard&39;s leveller.
"As long as it is mathematically possible we will believe we can reach the top four," said Giroud. "We have got five finals to play, after that we will see."
Crystal Palace had been set to drop into the bottom three on goal difference prior to Chelsea&39;s comeback.
However, they now enjoy a six-point cushion over Southampton thanks to a thrilling 3-2 win over Brighton at Selhurst Park with Wilfried Zaha scoring twice.
Huddersfield look well set for a stay up as Tom Ince netted in stoppage time beat Watford 1-0 and open up a seven-point lead on the bottom three.
Swansea couldn&39;t make home advantage count against Everton but also opened up a five-point lead on Southampton just above the relegation zone with a 1-1 draw.
At the other end of the table, Burnley closed to within two points of sixth-placed Arsenal as a fast start was enough to secure a 2-1 win over Leicester.

Daniel Taub is an international lawyer who has so much to show as he achieves during his time in office. Daniel Taub was born in 1962 in the United Kingdom. However, this is not where he would spend his entire life. In 1989, he moved out of the country and went to live in Israel. He even gained the citizenship of Israel. He served in various offices that included being in the military as a medic office, serving the deputy principal legal adviser in the ministry of foreign affairs. He also served as an adviser to Israeli delegation to United Nations headquarters. His services to Israel would reach the peak when he was appointed an ambassador to present Israeli in London. In the United Kingdom, Daniel Taub played his role very well. He portrayed a role of a man who wanted the best for his country.
Daniel Taub time in office was remarkable. He served his country diligently that he left no one doubts about his abilities as a diplomat. Daniel Taub role as ambassador was carried so well such that his country benefited a lot from the diplomatic relationship they had with the United Kingdom. Daniel Taub played his role of diplomacy so well that in just 4 years trade between the two countries had doubled. This was a great achievement that he had accomplished. Trade was at $7 billion according to the secretary of business, skills, and innovations in the United Kingdom. He continued to regard the achievements that Daniel Taub had midwived as one that would make the nations move into a golden era of cooperation.
Daniel Taub also took time to address the issues of the peace agreement in the Middle East. He made sure that he served his country in the best way possible.

Daniel Taub stated that Israel was dedicated to peace in the region but some of her neighbors would not allow it. He says Israel has shown the will to respect peace agreements.

I have a thing that I like to do, and it is this: I love to create homemade versions of commercial products. For Christmas last year, I wanted to make homemade vanilla extract to give to everyone, but I ended up forgetting it, so we gave it to people for Easter this year instead.
You would be surprised at absolutely how inexpensive and easy it really is. Here is how to do it:
DIY Vanilla Extract
Fresh vanilla bean pods (1 for every 4 ounces of liquid- we used Madagascar beans)
Small bottles with lids (ours looked like these)
Bourbon, whiskey, or vodka
Use a knife to split open the bean pods vertically. This is important. Make sure the pods actually split to the center. Some didn't split fully in our batch, and the vanilla flavor wasn't as strong.
Push the pod into the bottle. Pour the alcohol over the bean. We used a funnel, and that helped prevent messy spills.
Store the filled bottles in a cool, dark place for at least a month. The longer you wait, the stronger the vanilla flavor. The flavor wasn't strong enough for my liking until the beans had sat for about 2-3 months.
As you use the vanilla, you can add more alcohol to keep it going nearly indefinitely. What might work best is to have two bottles going, one that you use right now, and one that is brewing. As long as the pods do not get moldy, they are still good to use! Eventually, the flavor will fade, and then you can replace the beans, but you can last at least a year on 1 bean, I bet.
When the bottles were finished, we applied chalkboard stickers and wrote "Vanilla" on the outside. You can also paint directly on the bottle, if you want. There is endless creativity with this project.
Homemade vanilla extract also makes an amazing gift. All told, our cost per bottle was about $2 at most.
|Here is the finished product. Monkey wrote the labels.

The following recipe makes about 30 truffles. You'll need:
2 packs of Oreos
¾ tub of cream cheese
1 bar of white chocolate
How to make them:
Bash up the Oreos into little pieces (Jess did it in a sandwich bag with a big spoon!). Once they're suitably smashed into tiny bits mix with the cream cheese.
Then roll the mixture into tiny balls and place onto baking paper.
Next, melt the chocolate on the hob (in a heat proof bowl above hot water).
Dip the balls into the melted chocolate (Jess used a spoon and a fork), place back on the baking paper and sprinkle with more crushed Oreos.
Leave in fridge for an hour or overnight and enjoy!
