Kerchak: Do you have any more of that money?Fiction is loaded with Wish Fulfillment, and being rich enough to bend reality is one of them. These are characters whose wealth is almost impossible to quantify. More Money Than God is the bare minimum. Now this could happen in Real Life, like royalty who owned literally thousands of Pimped Out Dresses, or a man in India who built a private skyscraper for his family, staff, and fleet of cars, or Marcus Licinius Crassus, who had three times as much money as Bill Gates and personally funded the reconstruction of the Roman army. But in fiction, that's on the lower end of this scale.

A Globe GC1B lost a propeller blade in-flight while maneuvering in the number two position of a formation of three airplanes, a propeller blade separated from the propeller hub assembly. The second propeller blade, along with the hub assembly, subsequently separated from the engine crankshaft. Examination of the recovered propeller hub fracture faces disclosed fatigue cracking. The fatigue fracture propagated until it intersected the outside hub surface. According to McCauley Propeller the fatigue fracture reduced the propeller hub load carrying capacity until it was no longer a sufficient cross section to carry the centrifugal load of the propeller.

November 28, 2014
MILWAUKEE (AP) - The Brewers acquired second baseman Felipe Lopez from the Arizona Diamondbacks for two minor leaguers, giving
Milwaukee a much needed top of the order threat.
Milwaukee has been without starting second baseman Rickie Weeks
after he had season-ending surgery on his wrist in May. Since then,
38-year-old veteran Craig Counsell and rookie Casey McGehee have
filled in, but Lopez gives the Brewers a more consistent veteran.
The 29-year-old Lopez came into Sunday's game hitting .305 with six homers, 25 RBIs and six stolen bases in 84 games.
The Diamondbacks get outfielder Cole Gillespie and right-hander Roque Mercedes in the deal.
Gillespie was hitting .242 with 12 doubles, seven homers and 27 RBIs for Triple-A Nashville. He will be assigned to the Reno Aces.

Buying a Car – What You Should Pay
Buying a new car can be a frustratingly long and confusing process. You know that you have the power to negotiate, but it can be intimidating. The biggest challenge is often that consumers don't have a goal. They don't know what constitutes a "good deal."
Target Price
Establish a target price prior to stepping into a dealership. A target price is a great way to know what you'd like to pay, what you can afford, and what that cost means for your monthly payments over the term of your loan.
Your pricing depends on what other people will pay for the same car. Using our online Member Showroom tool, you can see what others in your area actually paid for the actual car you want. Armed with that knowledge, you can negotiate at or below that price to make sure you're getting a great deal.
At the Dealership
Be sure you're negotiating on the car you want. Don't be manipulated to a different model or trim package for which you don't have a target price. If you choose to change cars or models, re-establish your target price prior to moving forward.
You don't have to be demanding or difficult, but if you don't feel like you're close enough to your target price, ask for a better deal. Car salespeople are savvy at negotiation. They deal with a lot of people and they won't be shocked or offended if you simply ask for a better deal. They may be able to lower the price or they may opt to throw in higher-level trim packages, service deals or warranties. If you don't want those things, you can tell them you'd prefer better pricing.
Most importantly, if you're not getting the deal or treatment you want, walk away. You can try again at a different dealership, at a different time of month or year, or with a different salesperson. In general, deals aren't good for today only, your salesperson doesn't need to make multiple trips to the sales manager, and the end of the month often is a good time to buy as sales quotas need to be met.
With a little preparation, you can be a savvy car buyer and get a steal for your wheels. Good luck!

CoolSculpting® by ZELTIQ®
We are pleased to offer CoolSculpting® for our Boston area patients – the first completely non-invasive technique that removes fat. SkinCare Physicians was one of a handful of centers in the world that was selected to offer the first CoolSculpting treatments.
While there are other companies and machines that claim to reduce fat without surgery, CoolSculpting is among the only ones that permanently remove fat. Several of our physicians have been involved with the research and development of CoolSculpting from its beginning stages, and we have collected proven scientific evidence that the treatment is effective.
Before & After Photos of CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting usually takes about an hour, and patients report minimal discomfort. There is no need for anesthesia or pain medication, and during the procedure most patients choose to read a book, listen to music, or watch television or a DVD. The most common areas treated are the upper and lower abdomen, love handles, hips, mid-back and bra line.
CoolSculpting uses a body contouring method called cryolipolysis. Essentially, when fat gets very cold the body recognizes the fat as "melted" and then removes it over time through natural processes. It can take 3 to 6 months to see the final result, and some patients may benefit from a second treatment. Research shows that as much as 25% of your unwanted fat can be removed in a single session.
If you are considering this alternative to liposuction, our Boston area team of medical professionals can help you look your best. Request a consultation online or contact us at (617) 731-1600 to schedule your appointment.
What Is Cryolipolysis?
When fat is made very cold (just above the freezing point), fat cells become irreparably damaged. CoolSculpting is a novel technology that selectively makes fat cells cold, in turn causing permanent and effective fat cell loss. Once the fat cells are treated, the body clears them through a natural process over a span of 3 to 6 months.
Is Cryolipolysis Dangerous?
Extensive research on CoolSculpting has been performed, including right here at SkinCare Physicians. Data reveal a superb safety record, and in multi-center research, there have not been any reports of adverse systemic effects from treatment. Fat cells are gradually cleared from the body after treatment, so the liver and other vital organs are not impacted in any negative way.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Most of our patients begin to see changes after 1 to 2 months. However, it can take up to 6 months to see the final result. Some patients elect to have a second treatment to eliminate as much fat as possible.
How Much Fat Can You Remove?
A one hour CoolSculpting session will treat an area about the size of your palm. We can treat 2 to 3 palm-sized areas in any given session. Research shows that CoolSculpting can eliminate up to 25% of the fat in each area we treat. Additional treatments can remove more fat in any one area, so multiple treatments (to the same area) are cumulative.
Who Are the Best Candidates?
CoolSculpting works best for patients who have a mild to moderate amount of extra fat that they would like to have removed. Patients with small to medium sized specific areas of fat on the abdomen or love handles are ideal. Good skin tone is also helpful, but we are able to treat patients with stretch marks and a small amount of sagging skin. CoolSculpting is also useful in patients who would like to be a little smaller, but do not have enough fat to warrant a liposuction procedure. Most specifically, the treatment is great for patients who want to remove fat but also would like to avoid having surgery.
What Areas Are Most Commonly Treated?
For now we often treat the love handles, hips, upper and lower abdomen, and bra-line fat. CoolSculpting is developing technology that will hopefully allow us to treat the outer and inner thighs, knees and arms in the future.
What Is Post-Treatment Recovery Like?
Most of our patients have no recovery or downtime after a CoolSculpting body contouring treatment in the Boston area. Immediately after the treatment the skin will feel stiff, but this resolves within 10 to 15 minutes. Redness can persist for a couple of days, and although unusual, some patients develop a bruise in the treated area. Rarely, patients experience soreness in the area for a couple of weeks as well as a slight change in sensation in the treated area for up to 8 weeks.
At SkinCare Physicians, our doctors and staff are highly experienced with CoolSculpting as a non-surgical option to remove unwanted fat. Get started when you request a consultation online to come visit with us.

When the New York State Assembly and Senate both passed the Compassionate Care Act last Friday, it was only succumbing to the will of the people. According to the TK NAME OF YOUR PAPER'S online poll, more than 68% responding support medical marijuana, with 25% opposed and 6% undecided.
Our results mirror other findings. Most recently, Quinnipiac found support for medical marijuana in Florida rose from 82% of registered voters in May 2013 to 88% of registered voters in May 2014. An international poll by the New England Journal of Medicine found 76% of physicians worldwide would allowing medical marijuana, with 24% opposed (and none undecided). In 2011, CBS News found 77% of adults nationwide in favor; 17% against. An AARP poll as far back as 2004 saw support from 72% of adults nationwide.
If only we could believe our pols are driven by the will of the people. If so, we'd have fewer guns and more health insurance. But when the smoke clears, we see a political calculation, driven less by what's good for the public than by incumbents' re-election prospects.
And that's a bummer.

The Tigers have purchased the contract of Nook Logan from Triple-A Toledo to replace the injured Alex Sanchez on the roster. Logan was hitting .263 with two home runs, 27 RBI and 38 stolen bases in 105 games for the Mud Hens.
He has some speed (38 bags) but I'm not impressed with his batting avg. If he does get on he could steal a few but the key point there is : If he gets on

by Rachel Buttner, Assistant Editor
Susan Gotschall became a Fordham parent in 2008, when her son Ryan decided a Jesuit education on the east coast was right for him. "Ryan was very interested in east coast schools and Fordham gave a presentation at his high school," says Susan. "We were all so impressed that we had to take a visit."
The Gotschall family came from their home in Southern California to Fordham for a tour of Rose Hill, and they walked away even more excited about the University. They enjoyed the beautiful campus and meeting with Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham University, and Donna Rapaccioli, Gabelli '83, dean of the Gabelli School of Business, and all who went out of their way to make them feel welcome.
As a Fordham parent, Susan feels that the faculty and administration have gone above and beyond to make she and her son feel welcome at the University, especially from such a long distance. "I feel Fordham has it all," she says. "And being in New York City is truly a phenomenal advantage and experience for Ryan."
One of the first members to join the Parents' Leadership Council, Susan says the council allows for a more personal connection to Fordham than she might have had otherwise. As part of the council, Susan assists in many areas of service including engaging with other Fordham parents and University administrators to help promote the University's mission and mentor students. "Being part of the council promotes a deeper way of caring and supporting the University," she says.
Susan's husband, Edward, unfortunately, passed away during Ryan's freshman year. Initially overwhelmed with the loss, Susan was moved by the outpouring of care and concern the Fordham community showed her and her son. "Edward was always equally impressed with all Fordham had to offer," Susan says. "I know he is up there so proud of our son."
Ryan, currently in his sophomore year in the Gabelli School of Business, is studying abroad in London this semester. "I can't wait to visit him over the Easter break," says Susan. "I'm excited for Ryan to take advantage of this great experience.
"I believe Fordham has been an excellent choice for my son."

In the Shadow of Ichiro's Card Series: the Secret Playing Cards
Today, we're starting a mini series about Hanyu releases that very few people will know about, but that are linked – in some way – to Ichiro's iconic Card Series. At the same time, it's part of our "Whisky Labels from Japan" series (1, 2).
After Akuto-san had rescued the few hundred remaining Hanyu casks from being poured down the drain (2004-2005), he knew he couldn't just sit on them and wait for interest to grow. He knew he had to go out and bring the liquid to the people, and in order to do that, he needed the help of professionals in this field: bartenders. He started visiting bars in every nook and cranny and tried to interest bars in selling his (family's) whisky. To make this appealing to them, he offered small, private bottling schemes: the numbers were low enough to make it a financially viable project for those bars, but significant enough to keep the money coming in and build a brand (Ichiro's Malt) and a reputation, in the process.
this brief introduction makes for interesting reading. "Hanafuda" are strongly associated with illegal gambling and organized crime here in Japan – film buffs, check out Masahiro Shinoda's "Pale Flower" (1964) – so there's a bit of a dark side to it. However, visually, they're far more appealing than the ace-to-king deck we're all familiar with. Each "hanafuda" suit consists of 4 images referring to a particular flower or tree associated with a particular month of the year.
For the Bar Salvador bottling, the following images were chosen:
- "Pine with Crane" from the "Pine (Matsu)" suit [January]
- "Cherry with Curtain" from the "Cherry (Sakura)" suit [March]
- "Pampas with Full Moon" from the "Pampas (Susuki)" suit [August]
- "Willow with Poet" from the "Willow (Yanagi)" suit [November]
- "Paulownia with Phoenix" from the "Paulownia (Kiri)" suit [December]
For each label, there were 10 bottles (a total of 50 bottles) and for the remaining 10 bottles they used a special label combining the five cards above.

Wow, I never post, but must say this was a captivating story. Nonjatta has clearly become more than a simple blog. It's not only the greatest source on the internet (in English) to get Japanese whisky news, but clearly some darn good journalism as well. I, and hopefully many others, no longer just skip to the bottom to find a place to purchase the bottles. I enjoy the articles, themselves, quite a bit. I'm actually glad this is simply a story special to whisk[e]y history and nothing more. Those bottles are in a worthy place.

Brian, thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to us when we hear from our readers how much they appreciate what we do. And it encourages us to keep bringing more and better reports from the exciting world of Japanese whisky. Thanks again for getting in touch.

Very interesting! So this is the legendary Hanyu Hanafuda set. I have a set of Hanafuda cards at home (just the cards, not the bottles :))and they are ridiculously beautiful. "Go-Stop" is a very popular card game in South Korea (mainly linked to gamble and gangsters as well) and this game uses Hanafuda to play. Unfortunately I never master the game.
Very very interesting post. Thank you for the sharing.

That's really interesting, Aaron. I had no idea Hanafuda cards were also used outside Japan. And I agree with you, they're so beautiful... what I love about the cards is the mix of some cards that are very concrete (like "Willow with Poet") with some cards that are almost like abstract paintings. And that's one of the many great things about whisky: that it's a window onto the world. It connect so many things, and connects people, and through this liquid, one can discover so many amazing things... Thanks for pointing out that connection!

Old Perth Boy's School
Perth's first purpose-built school dates back to 1854. It was designed by Colonial Secretary William Sanford, whose passion for ecclesiastical architecture is reflected in the building's steeply pitched high timber ceiling and Gothic windows. In 1977 the property was vested in the National Trust to save it from demolition. Today the building is used as a caf? providing breakfast and lunch.
