Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman (21 February 1946 – 14 January 2016) was an English actor and director known for playing a variety of roles on stage and screen. Rickman trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, performing in modern and classical theatre productions. His first big television part came in 1982, but his big break was as the Vicomte de Valmont in the stage production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 1985, for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. Rickman gained wider notice for his film performances as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Severus Snape in the Harry Potter film series.
Rickman's other film roles included the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, for which he received the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Jamie in Truly, Madly, Deeply, Colonel Brandon in Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility, the title character in Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny, which won him a Golden Globe, an Emmy and a Screen Actors Guild Award, Harry in Love Actually, P. L. O'Hara in An Awfully Big Adventure, Dr. Alfred Blalock in the Emmy-winning HBO film Something the Lord Made, Alexander Dane in Galaxy Quest, and Judge Turpin in the film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's musical of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Rickman died of pancreatic cancer on 14 January 2016 at the age of 69.[1] His final film roles are as Lieutenant General Frank Benson in the thriller Eye in the Sky, and the voice of Absolem the Caterpillar in Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Early life[edit]
Rickman was born at 24 Lynton Road in Acton, London,[2][3] to a working-class family, the son of Margaret Doreen Rose (Bartlett) (b. 6 December 1911 in Treforest, Pontypridd, Glamorganshire, Wales - d. 16 February 1997 in Leicester, Lecestershire, East Midlands),[4][5] a housewife,[3][6] and Bernard William Rickman (b. 7 April 1914 - d. 9 September 1954),[7][8] a factory worker, house painter and decorator and a former WWII aircraft fitter.[3][9][6] His ancestry was English, Irish and Welsh;[10] his father was Catholic and his mother a Methodist.[11] His family included an older brother, David Bernard John (b. September 1944), a graphic designer;[11][3][12] a younger brother, Michael Keith (b. 21 November 1947), a tennis coach, an active local fundraising co-ordinator and a Harborough District Councillor for the Nevill Ward of the Conservative Party;[11][3][13][14][15][16] and a younger sister, Sheila J. Innes (b. 15 February 1950), an office manager for PRN, a clinical research organisation.[11][3][17][18][19][20][21]
When he was eight years old, Rickman's father died of lung cancer, leaving his mother to raise him and his three siblings mostly alone. According to Paton, the family was "rehoused by the council and moved to an Acton estate to the west of Wormwood Scrubs Prison, where his mother struggled to bring up four children on her own by working for the Post Office."[3][22] She married again, but divorced his stepfather after three years. "There was one love in her life," Rickman later said of her.[11] He excelled at calligraphy and watercolour painting. Rickman attended Derwentwater Primary School in Acton, a school that followed the Montessori method of education,[3] and then Latymer Upper School in London through the Direct Grant system, where he became involved in drama. After leaving Latymer, he attended Chelsea College of Art and Design and then the Royal College of Art. This education allowed him to work as a graphic designer for the Notting Hill Herald, which Rickman considered a more stable occupation than acting. "Drama school wasn't considered the sensible thing to do at 18".[23]
After graduation, Rickman and several friends opened a graphic design studio called Graphiti, but after three years of successful business, he decided that if he was going to pursue acting professionally, it was now or never. He wrote to request an audition with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA),[24] which he attended from 1972 until 1974. While there, he studied Shakespeare and supported himself by working as a dresser for Sir Nigel Hawthorne and Sir Ralph Richardson.[25]
After graduating from RADA, Rickman worked extensively with British repertory and experimental theatre groups in productions including Chekhov's The Seagull and Snoo Wilson's The Grass Widow at the Royal Court Theatre, and appeared three times at the Edinburgh International Festival. In 1978, he performed with the Court Drama Group, gaining parts in Romeo and Juliet and A View from the Bridge, among other plays. While working with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), he was cast in As You Like It. He appeared in The Barchester Chronicles (1982), the BBC's adaptation of Trollope's first two Barchester novels, as the Reverend Obadiah Slope.[26][27]
Rickman was given the male lead, the Vicomte de Valmont, in the 1985 Royal Shakespeare Company production of Christopher Hampton's adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, directed by Howard Davies.[28] After the RSC production transferred to Broadway in 1987, Rickman received both a Tony Award nomination and a Drama Desk Award nomination for his performance.[29]
Rickman's career was filled with a wide range of roles. He played romantic leads including Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility (1995) and Jamie in Truly, Madly, Deeply (1991); numerous villains in Hollywood big-budget films, including German terrorist Hans Gruber in Die Hard (1988), Australian Elliot Marston opposite Tom Selleck in Quigley Down Under (1990) and the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991); and the occasional television role such as Dr. Alfred Blalock in HBO's Something the Lord Made and the "mad monk" Rasputin in the HBO biopic Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny (1996), for which he won a Golden Globe and an Emmy.[30]
Rickman's role as Hans Gruber in Die Hard earned him a spot on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes & Villains list as the 46th best villain in film history, though he revealed he almost did not take the role as he did not think Die Hard was the kind of film he wanted to make.[31] His performance as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves also earned him praise as one of the best actors to portray a villain in films.[32][33]
Rickman took issue with being typecast as a villain, even though he was known for playing "unsympathetic characters".[34] His portrayal of Severus Snape, the potions master in the Harry Potter series (2001–2011), was dark, but the character's motivations were not clear early on.[35] During his career Rickman played comedic roles, including as Sir Alexander Dane/Dr. Lazarus in the science fiction parody Galaxy Quest (1999), the angel Metatron, the voice of God, in Dogma (also 1999), Emma Thompson's foolish husband Harry in the British Christmas-themed romantic comedy Love Actually (2003), providing the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) and playing the egotistical, Nobel Prize-winning father in Nobel Son (2007).
Rickman was nominated for an Emmy for his work as Dr. Alfred Blalock in HBO's Something the Lord Made (2004). He also starred in the independent film Snow Cake (2006) with Sigourney Weaver and Carrie-Anne Moss, which had its debut at the Berlin International Film Festival, and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (also 2006), directed by Tom Tykwer. He appeared as the evil Judge Turpin in the critically acclaimed Tim Burton film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) alongside Harry Potter co-stars Helena Bonham Carter and Timothy Spall. He provided the voice of Absolem the Caterpillar in Burton's film Alice in Wonderland (2010).[36]
Rickman performed onstage in Noël Coward's romantic comedy Private Lives, which transferred to Broadway after its successful run in London at the Albery Theatre and ended in September 2002; he reunited with his Les Liaisons Dangereuses co-star Lindsay Duncan and director Howard Davies in the Tony Award-winning production. Rickman's previous stage performance was in Antony and Cleopatra in 1998 as Mark Antony, with Helen Mirren as Cleopatra, in the Royal National Theatre's production at the Olivier Theatre in London, which ran from 20 October to 3 December 1998. Rickman appeared in Victoria Wood with All The Trimmings (2000), a Christmas special with Victoria Wood, playing an aged colonel in the battle of Waterloo who is forced to break off his engagement to Honeysuckle Weeks' character.
Rickman directed The Winter Guest at London's Almeida Theatre in 1995 and the film version of the same play, released in 1997, starring Emma Thompson and her real-life mother Phyllida Law.[37] With Katharine Viner, he compiled the play My Name Is Rachel Corrie and directed the premiere production at the Royal Court Theatre, which opened in April 2005. He won the Theatre Goers' Choice Awards for Best Director. Rickman befriended the Corrie family and earned their trust, and the show was warmly received in London in 2005. But the next year, its original New York production was "postponed" over the possibility of boycotts and protests from those who saw it as "anti-Israeli agit-prop". Rickman denounced "censorship born out of fear". Tony Kushner, Harold Pinter and Vanessa Redgrave, among others, criticised the decision to indefinitely delay the show. The one-woman play was put on later that year at another theatre to mixed reviews, and has since been staged at venues around the world.[38]
In 2009, Rickman was awarded the James Joyce Award by University College Dublin's Literary and Historical Society.[26] In October and November 2010, Rickman starred in the eponymous role in Henrik Ibsen's John Gabriel Borkman at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin alongside Lindsay Duncan and Fiona Shaw.[39] The Irish Independent called Rickman's performance breathtaking.[40]
Rickman again appeared as Severus Snape in the final instalment in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011). Throughout the series, his portrayal of Snape garnered widespread critical acclaim.[41] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said Rickman "as always, makes the most lasting impression,"[42] while Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine called Rickman "sublime at giving us a glimpse at last into the secret nurturing heart that ... Snape masks with a sneer."[43]
Media coverage characterised Rickman's performance as worthy of nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.[44] His first award nominations for his role as Snape came at the 2011 Alliance of Women Film Journalists Awards, 2011 Saturn Awards, 2011 Scream Awards and 2011 St. Louis Gateway Film Critics Association Awards in the Best Supporting Actor category.[45]
On 21 November 2011, Rickman opened in Seminar, a new play by Theresa Rebeck, at the John Golden Theatre on Broadway.[46] Rickman, who left the production on 1 April, won the Broadway.com Audience Choice Award for Favorite Actor in a Play[47] and was nominated for a Drama League Award.[48]
Rickman starred with Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz in Gambit (2012) by Michael Hoffman, a remake of the 1966 film.[49] In 2013, he played Hilly Kristal, the founder of the East Village punk-rock club CBGB, in the CBGB film with Rupert Grint.[50]
In the media[edit]
Rickman was chosen by Empire as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (No. 34) in 1995 and ranked No. 59 in Empire's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list in October 1997. In 2009 and 2010, Rickman was ranked once again as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars by Empire, both times placing No. 8 out of the 50 actors chosen. Rickman was elected to the Council of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in 1993; he was subsequently RADA's Vice-Chairman and a member of its Artistic Advisory and Training committees and Development Board.[51]
Rickman was voted No. 19 in Empire magazine's Greatest Living Movie Stars over the age of 50 and was twice nominated for Broadway's Tony Award as Best Actor (Play): in 1987 for Les Liaisons Dangereuses, and in 2002 for a revival of Noël Coward's Private Lives. The Guardian named Rickman as an "honourable mention" in a list of the best actors never to have received an Academy Award nomination.[52]
Two researchers, a linguist and a sound engineer, found "the perfect [male] voice" to be a combination of Rickman's and Jeremy Irons's voices based on a sample of 50 voices.[53]
Rickman featured in several musical works, including a song composed by Adam Leonard entitled "Not Alan Rickman".[54] The actor played a "Master of Ceremonies" part, announcing the various instruments in Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells II (1992) on the track "The Bell".[55] Rickman was one of the many artists who recited Shakespearian sonnets on the album When Love Speaks (2002), and also featured prominently in a music video by Texas entitled "In Demand",[56] which premiered on Europe MTV in August 2000.
Personal life[edit]
In 1965, at the age of 19, Rickman met 18-year-old Rima Horton, who became his girlfriend and would later be a Labour Party councillor on the Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council (1986–2006) and an economics lecturer at the nearby Kingston University.[57][58] In 2015, Rickman confirmed that they had married in a private ceremony in New York City in 2012. They lived together from 1977 until his death in January 2016.[59]
Rickman was an active patron of the research foundation Saving Faces;[60] and honorary president of the International Performers' Aid Trust, a charity that works to fight poverty amongst performing artists all over the world.[61] When discussing politics, Rickman said he "was born a card-carrying member of the Labour Party".[27]
Rickman was the godfather of fellow actor Tom Burke.[62]
Illness and death[edit]
|Wikinews has related news: Alan Rickman dies at 69 due to cancer
In August 2015, Rickman suffered a minor stroke, which led to the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. He concealed the fact that he was terminally ill from all but his closest confidants.[63] On 14 January 2016, Rickman died in a London hospital, surrounded by friends and relatives.[64] Soon after, his fans created a memorial underneath the "Platform 9¾" sign at London King's Cross railway station.[65]
Tributes from Rickman's co-stars and contemporaries appeared on social media following the announcement; since his cancer was not publicly known, some—like Ralph Fiennes, who "cannot believe he is gone", and Jason Isaacs, who was "sidestepped by the awful news"—expressed their surprise.[57] Harry Potter creator J. K. Rowling called Rickman "a magnificent actor and a wonderful man". Emma Watson wrote, "I feel so lucky to have worked and spent time with such a special man and actor. I'll really miss our conversations." Daniel Radcliffe appreciated his loyalty and support: "I'm pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York. He didn't have to do that."[66] Evanna Lynch said it was scary to bump into Rickman in character as Snape, but "he was so kind and generous in the moments he wasn't Snaping about."[67] Rupert Grint said, "even though he has gone I will always hear his voice."[57]
Kate Winslet, who gave a tearful tribute at the London Film Critics' Circle Awards, remembered Rickman as warm and generous,[68] noting, "And that voice! Oh, that voice." Dame Helen Mirren said his voice "could suggest honey or a hidden stiletto blade."[57] Emma Thompson remembered "the intransigence which made him the great artist he was—his ineffable and cynical wit, the clarity with which he saw most things, including me ... I learned a lot from him."[66] Colin Firth told The Hollywood Reporter that, as an actor, Rickman had been a mentor.[69] John McTiernan, director of Die Hard, said Rickman was the antithesis of the villainous roles for which he was most famous on screen.[70] Sir Ian McKellen wrote, "behind [Rickman's] mournful face, which was just as beautiful when wracked with mirth, there was a super-active spirit, questing and achieving, a super-hero, unassuming but deadly effective."[66]
In the days following his death, Rickman's younger sister, Sheila, announced on her blog, "Many thanks to all my friends, colleagues, ex-colleagues and fans for the messages of condolence to me and my family on the death of my brother Alan yesterday. He will be with us 'Always'",[71] while his younger brother, Michael, took to Twitter to write, "Thank you for all the kind messages regarding losing my brother, Alan. Devastating for his family and army of fans, he will be sorely missed... I am broken... We are but ripples in a pond. When the pond is calm the ripples are gone. Such is life."[16][72][73]

Bass and Guitar Tabs
and More...
Linkin Park
Crawling in my skin
These wounds / they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Theres something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming / confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling / I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
[Without a sense of confidence / Im convinced
there's just too much pressure to take]
Ive felt this way before
So insecure
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting / reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
Its haunting how I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
[Without a sense of confidence / Im convinced
there's just too much pressure to take]
Ive felt this way before
So insecure...

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Quake meets Saving Private Ryan.
Imagine standing in a bobbing Higgins boat in the first wave of D day at Omaha Beach. The door opens to a torrent of machine-gun fire, accompanied by the staccato "pank! pank!" of rounds pelting metal. How would you feel at the moment of truth, when you'd have to jump into the spray of bullets with soldiers falling and dying all around you? You'd probably piss your pantsthat's what some guys did.
Fortunately, that didn't happen when I played Medal of Honor at EA's offices. The game is certainly nerve wracking, and it does a fine job of creating that D-day feel, but you shouldn't need a diaper to play it.
The game begins like the movie Saving Private Ryan does: In the gray light of dawn the seas are rough, and you're in a line of Higgins boats droning toward the beach. You can look around and move, like Gordon Freeman in the railcar in Half-Life. But you can't go far because you're packed in with a squad of soldiers. They're obviously ducking to keep their heads down.
There are several more boats on both sides. Near the beach, the one on your left takes a direct hit; soldiers' broken bodies go twisting through the air. When the boat stops, the door pops open and the bullets come whizzing in. The constant sound of gunfire and yelling and explosions will definitely get your blood pounding. It's different from most shooters not only because it looks like World War II, but also because of the unrelenting weapons fire. Some soldiers have compared combat to having a jackhammer next to your head, and now you'll understand why.
With god mode off, I made it to the far side of the beach, but I think the player stats were set rather high. Near the berm I laid down for cover and turned around. A mortar round landed in a squad of soldiers and blew them away. Another soldier took a round right behind me and fell at my feet.
I ran over, picked up some bangalore mines from a dead soldier, and blew up the barbed wire at the foot of the bunker. There was a Springfield 1903 sniper rifle lying nearby, perfect for taking out the machine-gunners on the bluff. I then raced through the bunker itself, using a Thompson submachine gun to take out about 20 soldiers defending it. The soldiers were easy to kill, but their AI wasn't finished yet, so it's hard to say how they'll do when the game ships.
Players should have a great sense of accomplishment when they make it to the top of the bunker and shoot the German gunners in the next tower over. Free to move, soldiers pour over the beach, giving you an emotional reward rare in a PC game.
Of course, this is just one level in a game that takes you across Europe for the climactic crossing of the bridge at Remagen. You'll face a variety of challenges in the game, but the only other level I played was called Snipertown. Here, in a bombed-out French village, I died repeatedly, blundering into areas that I thought were safe. German sharpshooters were difficult to spot, but easy to take out. You'll face some surprises in this level, too, like an ambush and a Tiger tank that chases you down the street. Just when you think you're done for, the Tiger bursts into flames and four P-47 Thunderbolts roar overhead another scene shamelessly ripped from Ryan. Still, it's an exhilarating sensation when the tank goes up in smoke.
Can the developers of Allied Assault maintain this level of authenticity, suspense, and surprise? Tough to say, but we're betting the game will survive the landing and accomplish all its objectives when it ships later this year.

Francis F. Chen , Jane P. Chang, "Lecture Notes on Principles of Plasma Processing"
Francis F. Chen , Jane P. Chang, "Lecture Notes on Principles of Plasma Processing"
Springer | January 31, 2003 | ISBN: 0306474972 | 208 pages | DjVu | 7 mb
Plasma processing of semiconductors is an interdisciplinary field requiring knowledge of both plasma physics and chemical engineering. The two authors are experts in each of these fields, and their collaboration results in the merging of these fields with a common terminology. Basic plasma concepts are introduced painlessly to those who have studied undergraduate electromagnetics but have had no previous exposure to plasmas. Unnecessarily detailed derivations are omitted; yet the reader is led to understand in some depth those concepts, such as the structure of sheaths, that are important in the design and operation of plasma processing reactors. Physicists not accustomed to low-temperature plasmas are introduced to chemical kinetics, surface science, and molecular spectroscopy. The material has been condensed to suit a nine-week graduate course, but it is sufficient to bring the reader up to date on current problems such as copper interconnects, low-k and high-k dielectrics, and oxide damage.

Skip to comments.Hillary Clinton Says Shes Donated All University Speaking Fees
Posted on 07/04/2014 12:05:41 PM PDT by Nachum
Hillary Clinton continued to justify her high-dollar speaking fees on Friday, telling ABC News Ann Compton that all of the money shes made from colleges over the past year and a half has been donated to her familys foundation. All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work. So it goes from a foundation at a university to another foundation, Clinton said when asked about the criticism she and her husband have faced recently for their wealth. Hillary Clinton reportedly makes roughly $200,000 for each speaking engagement. And recent reports show
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
So she takes the fees, and donates them to a closely held family foundation? And that is supposed to show us that she is not actually getting the money? Really???
Are they really trying to insult our intelligence??? Or do they assume that critical masses of people are so dumbed down as to accept this explanation?
"I shall remember to pay it... to myself."
- Sydney Greenstreet in Casablanca
But this leaves it unclear whether the university administrators who invited Hillary in the first place will still be in consideration for positions in the next Clinton administration or not.
If she wants to donate, why doesn't she donate to the university, help some of those kids out with their $tens of thou debt bills?
These kids had better not buy this lame excuse. Of course they'll have to , on the outside
I'd like to see her give it to my foundation! But seriously, she should give that money to the poor. She and Bill, like reverends Jesse and Al, and so many others have gotten filthy rich by helping the poor.
Funding their leftist "charity"?
How generous of her.
Why doesn't she simply ask for them to donate themoney to the foundation directly then?
These friggin' Arkansas grifters are quite the pair. Liars to the bone....
All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work."
Yeah, for the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic. Very "life-changing". So....WHAT DOES IT MATTER??
I thought she was dead broke.
I gotta get me one of them thar, 'Foundations' right after I get me one of them thar Huntin' Licenses!
Democrats ARE a Criminal Enterprise!
She's out of Chicago
Does no one pay attention to dinesh?
Does she really think that this makes sense to middle America; that she takes the money and gives it to a family foundation which she controls? A family foundation which pays her and Bill and Chelsea big salaries????
Does she really think that this makes us think that she herself is not getting the money, because she donates it to a corporation which she controls?????
Very few in the LSM has ever called them out on their lies, so they keep doing it, as the LSM majority ignores and/or buries the lies.
ABC, huh? They hired Steffi...
Nope. ARE insulting your intelligence. They think so little of you and the rest of the population that it comes naturally to them.
We are deserving though of such insults. After all, how could we be anything but stupid to have put up with their crap for so long?
she gave the money to their foundation...which pays her, Bill, & Chelsea big time...
She did, to the I love Hillary fund.
She donates the income to the Clinton Foundation. She of course is a trustee of the Foundation, so she draws a salary and expenses ... oddly enough, in an amount just about equal to the amount she donates.
Can I ask a stupid question? What life changing and life saving work does the Clinton foundation do?
I'm not being flippant here. I'm really willing to give the Clintons credit if they are doing something which helps humanity.
I just have no idea what that foundation does. Skeptic that I am, I tend to assume it was set up for self aggrandizement, but, do want to credit the Clintons if this foundation actually does any actual humanitarian work.
Yeah, the life saving work of killing babies.
Looks just a little bit like money laundering...
"Stop The Bleeding"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
donated to her own foundation!?
at least her hubby donated his used underware to an outside, real charity!
(from an old Mike Royko column:)
Bill Clinton would donate his used shorts to Salvation Army or Goodwill resale shops and take a $4 tax deduction for each pair.
And it has since been revealed that he gave away long underwear and valued it for tax purposes at $12 per long john. (I don't know if they were with or without back flaps, or whether it matters.)
This filled me with admiration for Clinton's financial acumen, and regret that my father didn't have the means to send me to Yale Law School so I could become that smart.
Not that I think a Yale education would have led me to the White House, but it would have given me an appreciation for the underlying value of my underwear.
Because I am older than Clinton, I've been paying income taxes a lot longer: since I was 16.
All those years, I bought underwear, wore it, threw it away, bought new underwear, wore it, threw it away. I can't even guess how many hundreds or thousands of pairs of underwear I discarded over those decades.
And it pains me to think of all the tax dollars I could have retained. Why, by now I could be retired and taking brisk daily health walks in Florida or Arkansas. But it isn't too late. Not for me or you.
There are 250 million people in this country. Many are infants in diapers, which might not have any tax value, but the majority are adults who own underwear. Most of us live within driving distance of some sort of charitable resale outlet.
So I would guess that at least 150 million Americans have used underwear that they could give away.
A conservative guess would be that each person replaces at least five or six pairs a year.
That would be about 900 million pairs of underwear. Almost a billion.
If we use the $4 value that Clinton placed on his underwear, we are now talking about $3.6 billion.
Then there are all those hardy souls in the wintry states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, the Dakotas, upstate New York, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and all through New England.
Think of the millions of pairs of long underwear that are worn in these states. At $12 a long john, we're talking big-time money.
So the potential write-offs for the nation's used underwear would easily exceed $4 billion.
How much money would American taxpayers save with the underwear write-off? We can make a conservative guess and say the average bracket would be about 25 percent.
That means Americans could save $1 billion in taxes from used underwear alone. That's $1 billion in our pockets, $1 billion we could put back into the economy by buying things. Maybe even new underwear. Why, that pair of shorts is almost a symbol of patriotism.
However, there could be a slight problem. Most tax experts say that $4 for briefs and $12 for long johns are outrageously inflated deductions.
And a survey I did of Arkansas thrift stores established that used underwear sells for about two bits, or maybe 50 cents.
But who do you want to believe? Some accountant or thrift store manager?
So give those skivvies away and write them off.
And if you get audited, it should be no problem. Just tell the tax guy:
"Hey, Bill sent me."
Gerbalist Kreutz does a pretty good job here pointing out Hillary's shocking demeanor, laughing about how she got the child rapist acquitted, and as well Hellary lying about having been appointed his counsel in `Living History.'
The Clinton Foundation! LOL!
"Ahhm donatin' to me and ma kin — cuz we wuz born poor black chilun "
Donated to her own pocket. What a wretch
There is just no end to the lies and deceitful garbage that comes out of this woman's mouth. And to think, Huma actually kisses that filthy mouth.
She can't then claim it as a personal deduction.
That's why.
She gets a write off AND the money tax free. GRIFTER
I wonder why this wasn't immediately mentioned at the first time this was raised.
Gee, how I miss Mike Royko...
Prove it! Back dated documentation in 3..2..1
Hillary is a self-proclaimed champion of women's freedom throughout the world, without having done anything to support such a claim. Yet universities are happy to pay her $200,000 for a speech.
On the other hand, a genuine champion of women's freedom — Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who has risked her life for years to get her message across of the dire plight of third-world women — was not permitted to speak, even without remuneration, at a major university, Brandeis, this year.
Our university system is in serious trouble, not only morally, but also financially, at least according to a major story in ''The Economist'' this week. So, every university that pays Hillary $200,000 for a speech is bringing itself closer to its own downfall. At least there's some good news in all of this.
Also know as Tax Evasion and Money Laundering.
As I recall, they wrote a check from their foundation to pay for their New York house. You're not supposed to be able to do that.
In other words, 'Bill and I make a lot of money, and we need tax breaks. So, we have to donate some money. Whose to say what the source of the money we donate is? All the money we make goes into one pot, and we'll just say that what we took out of that pot to donate was from the speaking fees, because that's what works for us politically at this point.".
100% Pandering or 100% Cowardly?
And the university gets a favor
I can't imagine sending kids whom I've raised with love into one of these socialist radical money laundering America hating hell holes
I couldn't do it
LOL - the 'family foundation' is Bill and Hill's retirement plan. How much is the first daughter - who doesn't care about money - pulling in from the 'family foundation'...
Clinton's are scammers... selling most speeches to borderline creepy folks in the UAE..
She can get away with saying this now as their not elected or appointed officials and don't need to disclose their tax returns. However the foundation should have a record and may be required to list their donors.
Choices still exist. Let the world be foolish if it must. The Lord can humble its pride and even yet redeem it, if it is ultimately willing. Take care of the children you have.
Prove it, WITCH!
Yeah donated them to the hole in the mattress.
I place the Clinton Foundation right up there with the American Red Cross. It exists to pay the insiders outlandish salaries and benefits.
How much is baby daughter making?
Has any money ever gone to a charity?
"I thought she was dead broke."
I'd like this comment better if you were able to drop the word broke!
Isn't Chelsea now the director of the Clinton Family Foundation? So, does this mean that this is a money-laundering scheme, and Chelsea is getting paid from the exorbitant fees from Hilary's university speeches?

Vt. Air Guard members to deploy to AfghanistanNovember 14,2012COLCHESTER Thirty members of the Vermont Air National Guard engineering squadron are expected to be in Afghanistan by January.

Oral Food Challenges: Follow the Money
By Dr. Paul Ehrlich One of our most persistent themes in this website is the human toll of over-diagnosed food allergies based on excessive reliance on IgE testing and skin-prick testing without confirmation by oral food challenge (OFC). Inadequate use of OFCs is a problem with two sides. On one are allergists who don't perform […]Read more

Thirty apply for Nicholls State job
Published: Saturday, April 12, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 11, 2008 at 11:27 p.m.
THIBODAUX The process of finding the new womens basketball coach for Nicholls State University has begun.
On Thursday, a seven-member search committee, chaired by Roger Hamilton. president of the Nicholls State Alumni Federation, began sifting through the 30 resumes of applicants interested in the position.
Former Nicholls coach Mark Cook resigned on March 14 after posting a 6-21 overall record and 4-12 Southland Conference record. In four seasons, Cook compiled a 25-84 overall record and 16-50 mark in the SLC.
Nicholls athletics director Rob Bernardi said the job will remain posted for the next two weeks and he expects to receive more applications. Also , Bernardi said he expects to name the new coach by May 1.
I can see the committee meeting next week and also the following week coming up with three or four names for me to consider. I would think around May 1 we should be able to identify who we want, Bernardi said. That is the timeline we would want to follow. We want the current team to meet the coach before some of them leave after the semester.
Bernardi said that assistant coach Sabrina Carter and associate athletics director/senior womens administrator Louise Do Bonin are handling the day-to-day operations of the program.
Before his resignation, Cook had received three commitments for the 2008 recruiting class, and Bernardi said the university is honoring those commitments.
Right now, it looks like we are going to sign three kids, local kids, then we should have another two scholarships to give. I guess any incoming coach would like to have at least two scholarships at his or her discretion to sign players, Bernardi said.
We have three commitments and we are delighted to have them.
As far as the remaining players, Bernardi said they are anxious to find out who gets the job.
Anxious is the best description, Bernardi said of the teams attitude.
The unknown to anybody creates some concern and that describes the players right now. Who the new coach will be? Will I fit into the new system? Will I continue in the program or not? There is a lot of anxiety, which is why we want to get this done in a timely manner.

Hercules XPS510 5.1 Speaker System Review
Hercules was founded in 1982 in the US and has since become one of the most popular graphics card manufacturers in the world. In 1999, Guillemot acquired a struggling Hercules and since then, they have only gotten bigger and better. Although many people know them for their success in the graphics card industry, Hercules have also been very successful in the audio business as well. The Hercules Game Theatre XP is one of the main competitors to Creative's high-end Audigy sound card, and their Gamesurround Fortissimo II has done extremely well in the budget sound card sector.
With all their success in the audio market, Hercules has recently decided to introduce their new range of speakers. These were named the XPS510, XPS210 and XPS200, with XPS standing for eXtended Personal Sound. We were able to obtain Hercules' high-end, yet low priced speaker system, the XPS 510. At first we were very critical about the performance of this system due to it's low cost; however, as you will see when you read on, first impressions do not always last.

HOUSTON -- Former Houston Astros closer Billy Wagner thought
he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies after last season as a
cost-cutting measure.
But since the Astros have signed pitchers Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte, Wagner now thinks he was traded because he was an
outspoken critic of Astros owner Drayton McLane for not making a
big move last season, when Houston was battling for the NL Central
"When I was traded it was my understanding it was financial and
then they get Clemens and Pettitte for double what I was making,"
Wagner told The Associated Press on Wednesday from his home in
Charlottesville, Va. "Instead, they got rid of me because they
don't like me."
Wagner will make $8 million next season. The Astros signed
Pettitte to a three-year, $31.5 million contract last month.
Clemens, who had announced his retirement after pitched for the New
York Yankees in the World Series, signed a one-year deal Monday
worth $5 million.
Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker denied Wagner's
"I can appreciate how Billy feels, but what feelings we may or
may not have had regarding Billy didn't enter into the move to
trade him to Philadelphia," Hunsicker said. "The Pettitte and
Clemens signings were unusual and special circumstances and not
contemplated at the time of the Wagner trade."
After Houston's final game last season, Wagner accused McLane of
trying to keep the Astros competitive with "tape jobs" and not
pushing them toward the playoffs.
"Yeah, I'm outspoken," he said. "I just don't feel it's wrong
to state the obvious or the truth. I'll be the first to tell you if
I'm wrong."
Still, Wagner wishes he could be there when the Astros unveil
their potent rotation.
"I just wish he'd done this when we were a game out last
season," Wagner said. "I'm happy for the team, and wish I was a
part of it, but you trade Billy Wagner and get Roger Clemens and
Andy Pettitte. That's an easy decision."
Wagner, one of the most popular Astros throughout his major
league career, converted 44 of 47 saves last season. Astros
veterans Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell were among those unhappy
when Wagner was traded.
"I'm happy Bagy and Bidge will get the help they need to win a
championship," Wagner said. "Maybe I should have said something
earlier last season. I think what I said might have changed some of
the outlook of everybody."
The Astros will have a rotation of Clemens and Pettitte to go
with young starters Roy Oswalt, Wade Miller and Tim Redding.
Jeriome Robertson, who won 15 games last season, and Carlos
Hernandez, recovering from shoulder surgery, also will compete for
a starting spot.
Hunsicker said the Astros may not be done making moves. He wants
to add a utility outfielder to complete the roster going into
spring training.
Although right fielder Richard Hidalgo will earn $12 million for
2004 and has a contract with a $15 million team option in 2005,
Hunsicker said there are no plans to trade him to cut salary.
"I'm disappointed that I continue hearing that we are trying to
dump Richard Hidalgo, that's unfair and untrue," Hunsicker said.
"Richard is a very important part of our offense, and I don't
anticipate a move regarding him at this time."

Cablevision deal hinges on question
Depends on what 'duplicate' means
It seems like such a simple question.
"A sticking point in the negotiations between Cablevision and WFSB-TV seems to be that Cablevision does not want to run two CBS stations because of duplicate programming. If this is such a problem for Cablevision, how is carrying WVIT, an NBC affiliate, and WNBC acceptable?"

Southwest Stew Recipe
Our whole family loves foods spiced with picante sauce, so I developed this recipe! This dish is very quick and easy to make, and it also reheats well. Sometimes I add cooked, sliced potatoes to the stew for a little variety, too.
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1-1/2 cups diced onion
- 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 cup picante sauce, mild, medium or hot
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Shredded cheddar cheese, optional
- 1. In large skillet, cook beef and onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
