The great game of baseball has so many nicknames, Did you ever stop and think about some of these names? It’s endless.

Here are some names. They all have their own story to tell.

Where they live or where they were born are depicted in these nicknames like ?Memphis Bill? for Bill Terry, ?Dominican Dandy? for Jaun Marichal, ?The Reading Rifle? for Carl Furillo, ?The Fordham Flash? for Frankie Frisch, ?Country? for Enos Slaughter, ?Commerce Comet? for Mickey Mantle, ?The Kentucky Colonel? for Earle Combs and of course ?The Georgia Peach? for Ty Cobb. Hey who?s from Jersey? ?Jersey Joe? Stripp that?s who.

The animal nicknames. Some are fierce and make you quiver or some just make you take notice. Like ?The Big Cat? for Johnny Mize, ?Godzilla? for Hideki Matsui, ?Moose? for Bill Skowron, ?The Iron Horse? for Lou Gehrig, or ?King Kong ? for Charlie Keller. Other animals are not so scary. Like ?Ducky? for Joe Medwick, or ?The Mule? for Yankee Killer Frank Lary., and ?The Penguin? for Ron Cey. Goose Goslin was better known as ?Goose? than his real name of Leon. Maybe ?The Bird? ( Mark Fidrych) and ?Mickey Mouse? for Cliff Melton were names that tried to trick us. Who would be scared to bat against a bird? Before he got hurt ?The Bird? used to mow ?em down. And then there is one of my favorites ? ?The Silver Fox? for Duke Snider.

Then there are the Royal nicknames. Names of Nobility. These names are fitting to baseball immortals, Like ?The Sultan of Swat? (Babe Ruth), ?Prince Albert? (Albert Pujols), ?Rajah? (Rogers Hornsby),? Prince Hal? ( Hal Schumacher), ?King Carl ? (Carl Hubbel). ?Duke? for Edwin Charles Snider is more recognizable than his first name of Edwin. And another one of my favorites ?The Count? ? John Montefusco. Do you think the person that was anointing these greats with their nickname was thinking majestically?

?The Old Professor? (Casey Stengel ), ?The Little Professor? (Dom DiMaggio) ?Teddy Ballgame? ( Ted Williams ) and ? Donnie Baseball? ( Don Mattingly ) seem to indicate that these men knew something about the game. While names like Dizzy Dean, Daffy Dean, Dazzy Vance or ?The Brat?for Eddie Stanky, seem to tell another story about these guys.

Names that depict respect. ?Mr Cub? (Ernie Banks) , ?The Man? (Stan Musial) , ?The Yankee Clipper? ( Joe DiMaggio), ?Mr October? ( Reggie Jackson) ?Mr November? (Derek Jeter)and ?The Master? for Mel Ott. And then there are names that do not illuminate respect like ?Fat Freddie? for Freddie Fitzsimmons or ?Crab? for Johnnie Evers or ?The Sphinx? for Don Mossi.

And nicknames of strength ? ?The Iron Horse? (Lou Gehrig), ?Iron Man? McGinnity, ?The Iron Man? (Cal Ripken), ?The Man of Steal? (Rickey Henderson), ?The Wall? (Thurman Munson). These are guys I want on my team.

Some nicknames have fascinated me. Like ?Jack The Ripper? What does this say about Jack Clark? Twinkletoes Selkirk the old Yankee infielder must have had a great time explaining that one. Leo Durocher had an interesting moniker ? Leo The Lip. ?The Big Hurt? for Frank Thomas started out as a name that told a story about how he destroyed the other team. Later on in his career does the name describe his ongoing state of his own physical condition? ?Boog? What is a Boog Mr Powell?

And last but not least are names that I just enjoy. ?Hammerin? Hank Aaron, The Kid (Ted Williams), ?Ryan?s Express? (Nolan Ryan),?The Rocket? (Roger Clemens),?The Vacuum Cleaner? (Brooks Robinson),?The Wizard of Oz? (Ozzie Smith). And of course there is my nickname ? Hoch Fleisch.

Pass this on to someone you think would get a kick out of reading it.

Public Service Announcement: Legal means of killing endangered species has been found by NY State officials: Use Wind Power. To see well documented problems with windmills and bird kills( see http://www.energy.ca.gov/reports/avian_bibliography.html ) and it has beeen widely been reported ( see http://www.ncpa.org/studies/renew/renew2d.html ). There are many web sites that can be obtained from a google search that I did such as this site: http://www.windaction.org/articles/c36/ .

I believe that in the case of the planned mills in Fairfield NY, many eagles and hawks will be killed. Most birds will be killed by the rotors. Their numbers and type will be determined by the number of rotors their average wind speed, and the location they are placed in flyways. There is no way to stop these mills un less you as a citizen call upon your elected representatives and encourage then to block the windmills politically. In areas where these mills are placed the local governments see huge tax benifits from their construction. The damage that the mills do effect the ecology nationwide. Many bird migrate and mill locations are in the flight paths of birds that will just chop them up as the travel. You can encourage your public officals by CALLING AND EMAILING THEM RE WIND PROJECTS IN NY. Please call all the following officals and tell them YOUR TRUE FEELINGS ABOUT KILLING ENDANGERED SPECIES and the needless killing that will occur by supporting these projects:

If these publisc officials are not told how you feel they will do it to others. Please call all of these officials today!! If you are wondering why we are so upset with the towers of death, understand this….. We are in the nurseries and on our tree farms. We need a nature control for field mice in our tree nurseries. Mice are the biggest killers of trees. The wild birds such as hawks and eagles are a basic part of our ecosystem that keeps the mouse population under control. The loss of birds directly impacts our farm and farming operations see http://www.seedlingsrus.com which is located in both New York and in Pennsylavania. We have thousands of acres at risk and in no way we can keep the armies of field mice under control without natural aides from birds such as eagles and hawks.

About the Author

In December of 2006, The Economist suggested that the business coaching industry was growing at an annual rate around 40%. One year earlier, the Harvard Business Report estimated that the annual expenditures on executive coaches were $1 billion. Given these two powerful statistics, if you are a business coach or executive coach and your business did not grow by at least 40% these last two years, you should be asking yourself why.

Possibly the answer may lie within the increase of coaches or competition within this exploding industry. The International Coaching Federation had 2,122 members in 1999 and grew to 11,100 in 2006. Additional indicators of the increase in business coaches or executive coaches is from franchises such as The Growth Coach. In 2003, there were 6 franchises and this has increased to 131 franchies in 2006.

Here are some additional answers that may explain why your business did not grow given the potential within the market place:

• Poor marketing efforts from 30 second introduction to website
• Poor sales skills from not having a sales process to actually closing the deal
• Poor coaching process
• No focus on results

Coaching is all about being able to secure the desired results. Yet, many coaches invest thousands of dollars in coaching certification, but fail to understand that certification alone will not deliver better results. Just because you are certified, does not automatically translate to you as an executive coach or business coach being selected over someone who is not certified.

Recently, a certified coach asked me: Who certified me? I simply answered my clients who state that I provide a significant return on investment from doubling their results to delivering 10-fold investment. If as an executive coach, you are unable to demonstrate significant measurable results, then why would anyone want to invest in your services? Remember: Coaching is an investment not an expenditure.

If you want to increase your coaching business by at least 40% next year, then return to your strategic plan and take the time to determine why you are not at the head of the pack. Construct your goals to increase sales and infuse them into your strategic action plan. Then work your goals and rework your goals until you achieve your results.

On a Happier note why not visit Bucks County?

If your destination is Doylestown in Central Bucks County, you are in luck because our Fountainville farm is located 1 mile west of Doylestown Pennsylvania,( at 5275 W. Swamp Rd.) whose name is not at all derived from the many deer to be found (that would be too easy), was established, wa-a-a-y back in 1681 when the king of England, Charles II, owed one of his old admirals 16,000 pounds Sterling. (That’s about 4 million of our 2005 dollars.) For payment of the debt, it became the admiral’s son who was given a “tract” (a parcel, a piece) of land in “the New World,” on the northern continent of the western hemisphere before it got the name America.

When William Penn saw just the eastern edge of the 40,000 square miles he had gotten he was most pleased, understandably so, with a forest that seemed to never end. Dad’s woods, he thought, deciding to name the place where he would start a democratic sort of Quaker colony, Pennsylvania, Penn, -sylv (a Latin word root meaning “woods”), -ania (Latin suffix for “land”). So that’s why our home sounds like Count Dracula’s (Tran -sylv -ania, tran for “between,” as in, between the Carpathian Mountains and the old Principality of Wallachia in what is today’s Romania, there’s a land which is woods. Maybe Newfoundland should have been named Newfoundania? Naah.

William Penn established just three counties at first, all in the southeastern corner of his wooded land, all with names from mother England. Philadelphia County surrounded the original village there, Chester County was to the south, and Bucks County to the north.

In England, Buckinghamshire was, and still is, a county just northwest of London that forms an irregular rectangle running from the southeast at the edge of London, northwesterly. BUCKinghamShire, was shortened to Bucks in conversation. So William Penn named his land’s similarly sized, irregular rectangle county, which ran northwesterly from Philadelphia’s edge, Bucks County. Of course when you come to our farm be prepared to visit our county and experience its diverse culture and history.

When you come to visit us at Highland Hill Farm an interesting place to visit is always Haycock Mountain. It is a cooled 130-million year old “almost a volcano” that didn’t get to come out of the ground. It stayed below, but made the ground bulge upward, and the hot, liquid magma cooled to form coarse-grained “diabase” rock. Ayres’ Rock in Australia and Wyoming’s Devil’s Tower are world-famous examples of what is called a “laccolith.” Milk is “lacco” in Latin and “lith” means stone. Haycock Mountain is a laccolith, Buck’s County’s highest point at 959 feet above sea level.

Haycock Township surrounds the mountain. Haycock Elementary School is having their annual band concert at the nearby high school in the town of McLean on Tuesday, December 20, this year. You don’t think that Bucks County has a town named McLean? You’re absolutely right! Although there’s the Haycock Elementary School we know on Old Bethlehem Road (Route 212), there’s another one at the intersection of Haycock Road (Route 703) and Westmoreland Street, in McLean, Virginia just a few miles across the Potomac River west of Washington, D.C. Then, there’s Haycock Mountain, in the southwestern part of the state of Utah, not to be confused with Haystack Mountain, Utah. Haycock Mountain, Alaska deserves mention, as well as Haycock Mound in Kansas. “What’s in a name?,” Shakespeare observed over 400 years ago.

So you get the point; haycock is a common word, but just what is a “haycock?” Before the days of baling machines, cut grasses for “haying” were spread out in the sun to dry (”gotta make hay while the sun shines”) and then collected to be taken to where it would be stored. That dome-shaped mound, that pile, that heap, that stack of hay, will have a rounded top exactly like our Haycock Mountain in Bucks County.

If there’s no barn with a “mow” (pronounce it like Chairman Mao) to store the hay out of the rain and snow, an extra large haycock can be piled up and this “hayrick” will have a protective outer layer of hay that will be used for bedding the farm animals, or for composting, etc. If a roof set on poles can be created to cover the hayrick, much less of the hay will have to get wet and subsequently rot… So there’s a Hayrick Mountain in Texas and another Hayrick Mountain in Oregon. What’s in a name? Try, Highland Hill Farm? And guess what we Raise? Highland Cattle and Nursery stock. Our most popular tree is the Green Giant arborvitae. Here is why:

The hardiness zone the Green Giant Arborvita tolerates is from zone 5 to zone 8. That’s where extreme cold temperatures get down to a temperate level of about 15 or 20 degrees in the winter (Zone 8), but also as low as a frigid level of 15 or 20 degrees BELOW zero (zone 5). Green giants are evergreens, being cedars. Their rapid growth rates can in ideal conditions reach 3 feet per year. Site requirements for the Green Giant Arborvita are sun to partial shade, moist well drained soil preferred (but still does well in clay), and protection from wind, at lest when young.

The Green Giant is a beautiful tree. It has an aesthetically fine form. It’s conical, being narrow to broadly pyramidal, reaching from 50 feet to 80 feet in height in southeastyern Pennsylvania. The width at the base of the cone is usually about 15 feet to 20 feet. The leaves are rich green making graceful foliage.

Green Giants make a superb privacy screen and living fences. They keep their foliage color year ’round, great for brightening bleak gray winter days with snow on the ground. The cinnamon bright red bark when young turn rich russet brown with time crating a strong contrast with the needle leaves.

Green Giants’ flowers, their fruit are pretty little light brown half-inch female cones. (Just so you know, Green giants are females, so its okay to call the cones pretty.) The Green Giant is also a wonderful shade tree, casting a dark, dense shade. The wood is strong too, once the tree is beyond its youth.

This is an arborvita that should outlive even your grandchildren. There are Green Giants out west documented to be over 300 years old. Just don’t plant these too close to the ocean, or roads in areas where there’s a lot of salt used for snow removal. If you get over 100 inches of snowfall and more per year, no roadside Arborvita planting where salt is used, PLEASE. The greatest soldier of ancient Greece in the Trojan war had his one little weak spot, what proved to be a fatal flaw, and the “Achilles Heel” for Green Giant Arborvitas is hypersensitivity to salt. If you plants this Arborvitas just keep away from the splash of road salt and it will make a great living fence.

Trades Wanted: By the Farm Trader Of Bucks County

Our nurseries, farms, and ranches are always in need of all sorts of used items. We are always looking to trade for items that we might be able to use in our operations. We believe that the best way for us to obtain needed supplies is to have a hardware store approach to inventory for our operations. We want to have all sorts of materials on hand and at many of our locations to supply a lower cost source of materials for the operations. This means we buy in bulk, and accept used or items that need repairs. We have the ability to fabricate some of our own equipment so that means we will collect salvaged iron, metal pipe, and construction materials. We build our own additions and do our own renovations to our properties so used constructions materials are wanted. I am color blind so colors don’t matter. Roofing shingles need not match, only protect.

We are always looking for used power equipment and tools. It is easier to have tools on site than to carry needed tools to some of our remote operations. Thus we want all types of machinery. We can modify and repair items and thus condition of the item may not be suitable for your needs but great for ours.

Do you have rolls or partial rolls of barbed wire or woven wire? Fence supplies, electric chargers, fencing tools, gate, posts…. We can trade. See http://www.seedlingsrus.com/TradesWanted.html

We are also interest in collecting rocks and boulders that we can sell at our nurseries. Wall stone and old building foundations are great sources of rock and stone. Why throw it out we may be able to recycle it? You may also have left over pavers and flagstone. We again are interested in them.

We have a store in Milan Pa that sells used items from furniture to farm equipment. There is virtually no item that is reusable that we can’t sell or recycle for you. See http://www.seedlingsrus.com/MilanHirst.html

We are not a one way street. We have thousands of plants from seedlings and liners to 20′ trees. We grow trees, plants, and shrubs in Fountainville and Milan Pa. See our web site for details on plants that we carry. http://www.seedlingsrus.com

Do you like to hunt? We have lots of recreational sites on our farms and ranches. See http://www.seedlingsrus.com/recreationalops2.html for information on hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, arrowhead hunting, bird watching, bone hunting and meteorite hunting on our ranches and farms. Maybe you could just help us by transporting items from one farm and ranch to another.

So when are you coming to visit Bucks County?

Cover letters are generally poorly written and boring. It’s true. Most of them just repeat what was already in the resume and show no personality at all. I don’t know how the poor human resource people survive having to look through them day after day. The problem is that most people don’t know what should go in their cover letter. The following are the cover letter essentials.

Expanded Experience

What do I mean by expanded experience? You want to detail some of the experience in your resume and expand on it. Don’t just repeat the information. In your cover letter, you’re trying to sell yourself, so talk about what you did, how it increased your competence, and why it matters to this company.

Specifics

Whatever you do, whatever you say, BE SPECIFIC! The specific details of your experiences are far more interesting than a few general statements about what you do in your current job or what you learned during a special training. Details will make or break your cover letter.

Personality

I know you have one, but if you write the normal type of cover letter, I’d probably be surprised to know that you had more going for you than being a bump on a rock. Let your personality shine through in your cover letter. Share your enthusiasm for the job and your interest in your field. They want to know that you would enjoy what you want to do.

Contact Information

Obvious, I know, but include your contact information. A lot of people forget to include the basic contact information including phone numbers, email, etc. You can also be proactive and tell the company you will check back with them on a certain date, but be sure they have your information in case they want to talk to you sooner.

Say Thank You

Your momma taught you to say thank you, so be sure you say it. Thank the reader for their time and state that you hope to hear from them soon. They will appreciate this little note of thoughtfulness that says a lot about the type of employee you could be.

Send It Correctly

If you’re sending your resume and cover letter electronically, please make sure that you save it in Plain Text format. Otherwise, the company may not be able to read it, and they probably won’t contact you for another copy. Plain text can be opened by any type of Word Processor, and the company will appreciate your efforts.

Public officials can take away your rights with a pen like a packman, a bit at a time. You will not get compensation to boot. You can forward your trash emails to these officials. Do you think they want to hear from you? You can call them and tell them that their job is to protect your rights not take them away. Please help us save our farms value. They don’t expect to be called. That is why you must do it. They remember the personal calls. Read this call to action and Help Us.

We just found out that there is a large wind mill farm being placed near our son’s property in Herkimer County NY. He will probably lose future uses of his property. There will be what is called a 1250′ setback requirement that means there will be no new devolopment within that zone. His properety will be in that zone. The windmill be be on the neighbors property. We have no problem with the windmills on the neighbors property, just don’t take away our property rights because of the neighbors use of his property. This amounts to a taking without compensation. I would call this legislative conmdenation. It can happen to you. Bit by bit our public officials use zoning to suit their needs, not to protect ours. If one should not build with 1250′ of a wind mill why is a wind mill allowed to be built allowed to be located with 1250′ of an existing house? The answer is simple, the public officials don’t care about the citizens, they only care about their private agenda. How would they like to be trashed? There is a need for better standards about where the big windmills should be built, both to limit their impact on local communities and help prevent more disputes over the future our skyline. My sons property will be surrouned by windmills on three sides. If there are sounds coming on the property from three sides at once and the noise level is dangerous we will bring legal action against all parties that are respondsible for any this noise pollution.

Please Tell Them not to support this taking…Most concerns are centered on destruction of the vistas and a decrease in property values that will occur if the turbines are built. As farmers we cherish the beauty of our land and detest its destruction. We hope to avoid the need for legal action but will hold public officials accountable for the wind farm if it is built. Thanks, Bill Hirst

The windmill be be on the neighbors property. We have no problem with the windmills on the neighbors property, just don’t take away our property rights because of the neighbors use of his property. This amounts to a taking without compensation. I would call this legislative conmdenation. It can happen to you. Bit by bit our public officials use zoning to suit their needs, not to protect ours. If one should not build with 1250′ of a wind mill why is a wind mill allowed to be built allowed to be located with 1250′ of an existing house? The answer is simple, the public officials don’t care about the citizens, they only care about their private agenda. How would they like to be trashed? There is a need for better standards about where the big windmills should be built, both to limit their impact on local communities and help prevent more disputes over the future our skyline. My sons property will be surrouned by windmills on three sides. If there are sounds coming on the property from three sides at once and the noise level is dangerous we will bring legal action against all parties that are respondsible for any this noise pollution.

Please Tell Them not to support this taking…Most concerns are centered on destruction of the vistas and a decrease in property values that will occur if the turbines are built. As farmers we cherish the beauty of our land and detest its destruction. We hope to avoid the need for legal action but will hold public officials accountable for the wind farm if it is built. Thanks, Bill Hirst

Public officials can take away your rights with a pen like a packman, a bit at a time. You may not get any compensation to boot. You can call them and tell them that their job is to protect your rights not take them away. Please help us save our farms value. They don’t expect to be called. That is why you must do it. They remember the personal calls. Read this call to action and Help Us.
