Top 8 Best Charlie Weis Quotes
Yesterday, the mighty Fighting Irish of Notre Dame lost to a 2-8 Syracuse team. They're now 6-5 for the season, with an upcoming play date with USC.
The rumors are starting to swirl that this will be the end for Notre Dame head coach Charlie Wies. With his ten-year, forty million dollar contract, no one knows exactly what the buyout would cost, but it is assumed to be in the range of twenty million dollars. If anyone can afford that, however, it's Notre Dame and their seven billion dollar endowment.
So, with Weis on the hot seat, let's take a look back at some of the fun-filled lines he's given us over the last few years. Rarely will you see such a potent mixture of arrogance and misunderstanding of the college game. We'll miss you, Charlie.
8. "I'm going to answer that very cautiously, because I don't want to be called sarcastic using New Jersey rhetoric. So let me just say people better enjoy it now, have their fun now."
– After last season.
7. "You are what you are folks, and right now you're a 6-5 football team. And guess what? That's just not good enough. It's not good enough for you. And it's certainly not going to be good enough for me. So, if you think they hired me here to go .500, you…you got the wrong guy."
6. "They're going to have to learn about us, OK? Let them try to stop a pro-style offense, which has multiple personnel groups and multiple formations. Let's see how they are going to do. They've had their advantage because I've come into recruiting late. Well, now it's X's and O's time. Let's see who has the advantage now."
– After closing a mediocre recruiting class his first year.
5. "Every game, you will have a decided schematic advantage."
– To his players.
4. "No one will want a piece of us in 2009."
– During the 2007 season.
3. "It's been a while since we've been up in the second half. So I told my guys to act like they've been there before. Don't make me look like an idiot."
– After their first win in 2007.
2. "Michigan St will never beat Notre Dame again under my watch."
– After loss to Michigan State in 2005. They lost again in 2007 and 2008.
1. "I've never lost to Pete Carroll and I'm not gonna start now."

[…] don't know who Brian Combs is, but over at http://www.briancombs.net he put together a list of the Top 8 Charlie Weis quotes. Allow me to regale you with my favorite one: "You are what you are folks, and right now you're […]
Love the site and Weis column. We cited you over at MSF in our recent article on Charlie Weis:
I was looking for the quote about being a .500 football team. Thanks for compiling everything one nice and neat post.
I seem to recall Weis in his first year say that they would never lose a game because of coaching. Do you recall that? Or maybe I'm just getting it mixed up with "Every game, you will have a decided schematic advantage."
[…] will draw immediate comparisons to Charlie Weis' statement last year that people should "have their fun now" (or, if you're Syracuse, in the future) but here it's a loose cannon […]

Rough Trade announces free #RSD14 in-store performers (Nothing, Fear of Men, Mark Mulcahy, Palehound & more)
Palehound @ BV SXSW 2014 (more by Tim Griffin)
Record Store Day 2014 is just a couple weekends away (Saturday, April 19) and even if you aren't one of the ones clamoring for RSD exclusive releases, you can partake in teh festivities via free in-store performances. Rough Trade NYC has announced it's slate of RSD live music performers: Amen Dunes, Betty Who, Fear of Men, Mark Mulcahy, Milagres, Nothing, Palehound, and The Rails. Additionally, the day will feature DJ sets by Bella Union's Simon Raymonde, the folks at Daptone Records, Justin Strauss, and Deano Sounds of Cultures of Soul Records. Set times have not been announced but the performances are free to attend.
The Rails, which features Kami Thompson (Richard & Linda Thompson's daughter), plays London's Rough Trade East in the morning and flies to NYC immediately after for her show at the Williamsburg location (shades of Phil Collins at Live Aid there).
Fear of Men play another free show in NYC the night before (4/18) at Brooklyn Night Bazaar, with Beverly, Alvvays and Beach Day.
If you are one of those looking for RSD14 exclusive releases, Rough Trade has published their list of what they're getting in the store. On Record Store Day, Rough Trade NYC opens at 9 AM.

Marissa Nadler / Mt. Royal / PINS @ Baby's All Right 3/19/2014
UK label Bella Union launched a North American extension earlier this year and Wednesday night (3/19) had a coming out party at Brooklyn's Baby's All Right, with four of their artists playing. The night was headlined by Marissa Nadler (who's signed to Sacred Bones over here) who played with cello backing. By that point in the evening -- after three rock bands and imbibing -- the crowd was a little chatty for Nadler's delicate style but, pulling from her new album July, she sounded great nonetheless.
The rest of night's line-up were all fresh from SXSW, the best of which was undoubtably Mt. Royal, the new project from Celebration singer Katrina Ford. Their widescreen, ethereal strain of pop is not dissimilar to Blonde Redhead or Beach House, but Ford's magnetic presence and powerhouse pipes distinguishes them immediately. I always liked seeing Celebration live, but Mt. Royal make music I want to listen to at home, too (their debut EP is great).
The night opened with two international bands: Manchester, UK's PINS, who seemed to have raided Dum Dum Girls' wardrobe, make scratchy, scrappy indiepop; and Berlin-based trio Ballet School, who make anthemic techno-rock (I kept thinking of Laura Branigan's "Gloria"). In between sets, Bella Union domo (and onetime Cocteau Twins bassist) Simon Raymonde kept the crowd entertained as DJ. Pics from all of last night's bands are in this post.

Marissa Nadler @ Glasslands - 2/8/14
Psych-folk singer Marissa Nadler just released her fantastic new album, July (her first for Sacred Bones), and celebrated it in NYC with a show at Glasslands over the weekend (2/8) ahead of her imminent tour. The Glasslands show was her first with her new band that includes viola/lap steel player Nina Violet and cello/synth player Janel Leppin. The new musicians also provided backing vocals, fleshing out Marissa's sound, and as you may imagine, made everything sound gorgeous. The show was opened by Zachary Cale and Marissa's Sacred Bones labelmate Amen Dunes, and pictures of all three artists are in this post.
Marissa will return to NYC to play a post-SXSW showcase that Bella Union (the label who put out July in the UK) is putting on at Baby's All Right on March 19. Marissa's headlining, and the rest of the lineup includes Celebration-related Mt. Royal, Berlin synth pop trio Ballet School, Manchester's PINS, and a DJ set by label co-founder (and former Cocteau Twins bassist) Simon Raymonde. Tickets will be on sale soon here. Flyer below.
Marissa also recently made a video for "Was It A Dream" off the new album. Watch that, along with the updated list of tour dates, Bella Union showcase flyer, and more Glasslands pics, below...

Snowbird's debut comes w/ RX Gibbs remix LP; I Break Horses streaming 2nd LP; Bella Union US throwing NYC launch party
by Bill Pearis
Snowbird's Dosen
Snowbird, the collaboration between former Cocteau Twins bassist (and Bella Union head) Simon Raymonde and singer-songwriter Stephanie Dosen, will release their debut album, Moon, on February 4. You may have already heard "Porcelain" and if not you can stream it below. The LP will come with a bonus disc, titled Luna, with the entire record remixed by RX Gibbs that puts a dubby spin on Snowbird's featherlight creations. You can check out the video for the RX Gibbs remix of "Porcelain," which makes its premiere in this post.
Bella Union up to this point has been a UK label but has just set up a US outpost that will be the official American home for Snowbird, I Break Horses, Lanterns on the Lake and more. Bella Union US will throw a launch party on Monday, January 27 at The Bedford in Williamsburg with Raymonde DJing in the back room. It's free.
Speaking of, Swedish duo I Break Horses release their second album, Chiaroscuro, this week and if you liked the shoegazy, ethereal dance music of their debut, the new album stays within that dreamy world of sound. You can stream the whole thing below (via the Hype Machine).
Lanterns on the Lake, meanwhile, released their second album last week (1/14) and their short North American tour will hit NYC in February.
Flyer for the Bella Union US launch party, plus streams and videos, below...

Snowbird = Simon Raymonde & Stephanie Dosen; debut LP features mems of Radiohead, Midlake and more (stream)
by Bill Pearis
Simon Raymonde stays very busy running his label Bella Union which is the UK home of Flaming Lips, Fleet Foxes, Beach House, John Grant, Midlake and more. But he spent the '80s and most of the '90s as bassist for Cocteau Twins, perhaps the quintessential 4AD band from that label's first decade. (His father, Ivor Raymonde, did arrangements for Scott Walker and Dusty Springfield.) Bella Union was set up to release Cocteau Twins albums and related projects and when the band broke up in 1997 the label took on a life of its own.
While Raymonde has produced some of his label's releases, he hasn't really made much music of his own since the Cocteaus broke up. That changes soon, though, with the debut album from Snowbird, the group he formed with singer Stephanie Dosen whose 2007 album for Bella Union, A Lily for the Spectre, he produced. The group was loosely formed in 2010, covering Pink Floyd's "Goodbye Blue Sky" for a MOJO compilation CD (stream it below), but Moon will be their first album of original material. The first track from it, "Porcelain," will definitely remind people of his former band, with Dosen sounding remarkably like Cocteau Twins' singer Elizabeth Frazer (who was just in NYC playing with Massive Attack). Says Raymonde:
Stephanie was the first singer I had worked with since Elizabeth that I had a real musical empathy with. She could do anything. No one had ever sung with Midlake on record before Stephanie, while Massive Attack asked her to be their lead singer on tour --- ironic really given that Elizabeth had too! She also sang with Chemical Brothers. But we'd never written music together at home...You can stream "Porcelain" (which has a little This Mortal Coil vibe to it too) below. Adding to the old school feel, legendary 4AD graphic designer Vaughn Oliver did the album cover. Raymonde also got a few other Bella Union artists to contribute, including Phil Selway (and his Radiohead bandmate Ed O'Brien), Eric Pulido and McKenzie Smith of Midlake (who play NYC tonight), Jonathan Wilson, and Paul Gregory of Lanterns on the Lake (who'll be in NYC in February).
...I wrote every piece of music at night, in semi-darkness so that the space didn't feel like my living room. The moon was very important for the light it reflected.
Look for Snowbird's Moon in January. Streams below...

Jessica Pratt at Maxwell's - 5/17/13 (via @cbruno1983)
Loner folk devotee Jessica Pratt just wrapped up a tour supporting Father John Misty, which hit the NYC-area this past Friday (5/17) for a show at Maxwell's, where FJM played solo acoustic, unlike his theatrical performance at The Great GoogaMooga the next day. Jessica played backed by a keyboardist and sounded delicate and wonderful as ever. Check out a video from her set below.
As mentioned, Jessica is about to do a few dates with Grouper, including one in NYC on June 2 at Le Poisson Rouge with Raajmahal and a DJ set from onetime Cocteau Twins bassist (and current Bella Union label head) Simon Raymonde. Tickets for that show are still available. Jessica has since added her own NYC show happening a day earlier (6/1) at Union Pool with Gambles (aka ex-Levy member Matthew Siskin) and Zachary Cale. Tickets for the Union Pool show are on sale now. Show flyer below.
And as discussed, Jessica will return to Le Poisson Rouge on July 12 to open for Julia Holter, which is one of a few shows the two musicians are playing together that month. Tickets for that show are still available
After she wraps up her run with Julia Holter, Jessica will do some West Coast dates with White Fence. Updated dates are listed, along with the Maxwell's video and Union Pool show flyer, below...

My Bloody Valentine, JAMC, Cocteau Twins, Ride and more feature in shoegaze doc that launched Kickstarter campaign
BEAUTIFUL NOISE is an in-depth exploration of a music movement in the late 20th century, a fascinating period when some innovative musicians mixed guitar noise into conventional pop song structures while maintaining a philosophy of letting the music speak for itself.Legendary shoegaze/dream pop bands My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, and The Jesus and Mary Chain are subject of new documentary, Beautiful Noise, who have launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise enough money for the film to be distributed in film festivals and released on DVD/Blu-Ray (via Pitchfork). In addition to those three bands, the film will feature interviews with/appearances by members of other shoegaze pioneers like Ride, Slowdive, Lush, Curve, Swervedriver, Medicine, Pale Saints, and more, plus appearances by Wayne Coyne, Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan, and Robert Smith, and performance videos (and some interviews) with current bands like Sigur Ros, M83, A Place to Bury Strangers, Grouper, Serena Maneesh, and others. The Kickstarter campaign has reached just over $17,000 of its $75,000 goal as of this post, and is open until December 15. More info and rewards details at the documentary's Kickstarter project page.
Although many of the people interviewed are notoriously press shy they have opened up about their music and experiences from over 20 years ago; how they defied the rules and became sonic innovators that have inspired so many.
Currently the documentary is in the final stages for worldwide release, and we need your help to raise the $75,000 to pay for limited run licensing and finishing costs to distribute in Film Festivals and on DVD/Blu-Ray.
This documentary will finally be released only if the fans of this music believe in this project and contribute.
This comes shortly after the news that My Bloody Valentine plans to release an album by the end of the year.
Campaign video below...

Welcome Madam AssChest, we have been expecting you!
Why does that jacket hate America?
I've seen that smirk before. Has anyone seen Bill Clinton lately?
love voluptuousness!
Genetically engineered so that no man will notice the tragedy six inches above the point of interest.
That body was made for sex.
I fucking love Christina!
She's almost 40 and still has a sexier body than those boney crackheads in their 20s.
"Fat man in a tiny coat! Fat man in a tiny coooooat!" – Chris Farley
You can only put the quotation marks around the sentence if it's, y'know, the actual quote. Making shit up and putting it in quotes just makes you look like a lazy, dim-witted jackass.
^ "Gay man on in the closet! Gay man in the closet!" – Anyone reading the above.
All good things must come to an end……
Her performance in 'Drive' was superlative.
"Left boob, right boob, left boob, right boob…"
Leave the poor girl alone. Sure she's fat, but for every 10 pounds she loses, she becomes one cup size less talented.
Only a retard with a severe case of the gay would think this chick is "fat"!:)
A girl with this body would cause a fucking riot in any club. She would be mobbed by guys. Then again the average shut-in that posts on this site has never set foot in any club let alone a straight one.
I'm going to declare a corollary to McFeely's law (look it up) in reference to the trope "If you don't find woman 'x' attractive, you are gay/virgin/both". – McFeely Smackup, Nov. 11, 2011
I can't get past the plastic barbie hair that needs to be combed.
I can't get beyond her plastic hair AND her plastic tits.
I fail to see why she is such a big deal. A fat girl with a pretty face and big cans. So what? You can find one in any Waffle House…
If chicks at waffle house looked like this they would need police protection to keep away all the straight guys you normally jerk off to.
sorry tool, i'm from california. this chick may get your backwards ass all hot and bothered, but she is only a Cali 6…
I'll have better tonight. enjoy your mad men reruns…
Riiiight:)….Have fun humping the couch in your mom's basement.
I agree with your sentiments for sure. Although, I'd be a bit kinder and give her a 7. After all, she IS a redhead. They always score high in my book. But when it gets down to it, she's just a fat chick that makes her saggy titties look good in dresses. And sometimes they don't even look good in the dresses. She looks like she's poured into them. Skin oozing everywhere. Pass.
Way too long just to admit you're gay bro. Anyone who finds DD tits unattractive needs to sit down and think about how short life is and start being honest with himself.:) Anderson Cooper came out of the closet this week. Use that as your inspiration. You can do it skippy.
Spoken like a dude who's never actually been in the presence of NATURAL DDs. They are anything but attractive. Unless you reallly dig tits that are basically hitting a girl at her knees. My ex had HUGE natural DDs and she was insecure about them because they were unsightly. C cup is what you're thinking of. And I'm not sure what being "gay" has to do with breast size preference. I'm putting you at around 15 yo.
This post couldn't sound more GAY if it was written in pink glitter:)
Give it up waldo. You've never touched tits, you don't like tits, and you sure as hell have had no "girlfriend". I won't guess your age because I frankly couldn't care less. What I do know is you need to start being honest with yourself.
I need to see her in a bikini, cause those pushed up boobs sure can be deceiving! I'm a woman and small C Cup and I tell Victoria's Secret can do wonders for a woman!
"…fashion show"? Are you sure it's not the… "motorboat show"?
(I'm not sure how to type that sound.)
I love her on madmen, Her face is that of an angel. But she is 30 pounds overweight
No, she's not overweight, you jealous fool:) Overweight and underweight actually have medical definitions and are not based on what some gay troll or jealous cow thinks on the internet. This woman is well within her BMI range. Not even close to overweight let alone 30 lbs over!
You know who has a weight problem? Those boney skeletors you've been brainwashed to find attractive. The average starving "model" needs to gain at least 20-30 pounds just to reach their lowest healthy BMI number. Look up their stats and do the math yourself.
Whatever. I don't give an eff about BMI or whatever. Those models you think are too thin? We males find delicious. That is just the way it is. Get over it. This chick is way too fat.
Even if I believe you're a male, you sure as fuck ain't straight:) Every single dude I know including myself thinks this girl is a perfect 10 and wouldn't waste our piss on those boyish crackwhores a few closet gays like you jerk off to.
I meant that to the guy who replied to lily. Don't want her to get too excited:)
Her cheeks have cheeks. She's fat.
You actually get wifi in that closet?;)
Look, I get it, curves are great. But this chick isnt curvy. She's an effing whale. I guarantee that any of you dudes on here would run for the hills if you saw her all sagging with no clothes on. Those kind of natural tits look great in dresses and sex tops, but when unleashed, they are anything but sexy. And I don't want to imagin what that fat pale ass looks like. I agree with the last poster, she is FAT.
Look!!!! Let's get real here! You want to see an effin' whale? Go into any Walmart. You'll get a full-on pod of humpbacks in every freakin' aisle. This girl is not fat by any standards but the ones the fashion media has burned into your brain.
Exactly. MeMe is a typical closet queer too scared to be honest with himself. When the poor fuck says he doesn't like big tits without realizing he's giving himself away you actually feel sorry for him:)
Seems most are blinded by her tits , shes not very pretty in the face , zoom is kinda scary actually.
"The winner of this year's crown for the Queen of the Cantaloupe Festival is none other than…
the obese school bus driver from my high school days had giant tits like this whale too, and nobody was drooling over her. fat is fat, and that is that. take away the push up bra, bottled fake red hair, fake tits, and very carefully chosen fat distracting wardrobe, put this old phoney whale in a bikini, and all you chubby chasers would puke at the site of this pale old fattard.
If you can't tell the difference between curves and fat, you're a blithering retard. If you're turned off by curves, you're a flaming queer. That's all there is to it, dummy.
Now get back in the closet and resume licking your Justin Bieber poster. The straight act just ain't working out like you hoped. Still giving yourself away waaay too easily:)
She's so cute and sexy.
She's quite the optical illusion. Sure, her breasts are huge (+), but so is her waist (-). And as far as her backside, wide and flat (–).
Add in the fact that she doesn't even look like she's trying with her appearance, computer says… no.
Bullshit. The only illusion here is you thinking you're straight;) Have you seen her on madmen, dummy? She has the perfect hourglass figure and definitely has a nice ass. In other words the exact type of body the average pedophile and closeted gay finds icky. Almost a nice try but the computer says….gay.:)
those are some lumpy, uneven plastic cans
They're natural, idiot. Not that you're interested in tits either way;)
WTF. What's with all the gay comments? I'd still hit it with a smile on my face, but she's really not that hot. She's not a 'perfect 10′ as someone said. There are plenty of girls with nice boobs and pretty faces that are not as chunky. Recognizing that does not mean you are gay. It means you have eyes.
Calling a girl like this "chunky" means not only do you not have eyes, you're also lacking in the brain cell department.
She doesn't have to brush her hair because no one has noticed yet that she has a head.
You know a chick is hot when the gay trolls are sobbing all over their Glee T-shirts:)
Christina is the gold standard for determining sexual orientation. You don't wanna bang that….you're gayer than Liberace… end of story. But I won't even ask you to come out of the closet. Just stay in and stop creeping me the hell out.
christina = best body in hollywood. nuff said
I love her.

Business woes - having trouble charging for "simple" work.
I need some opinions on my situation here. I started a business a year or so ago and I am having trouble getting things moving because I have a difficult time charging people for my knowledge or "expertise". I'd like to know if anyone else here has come across this problem as well or if I am alone in it.
I think my problem is that everything I have learned about computers has become "common knowledge/sense" to me, such as going to the command line and typing IPCONFIG to find out the machine's network config. When I did that this weekend I got the following response from a friends dad:
"Now how would I have known how to do that? How am I supposed to know that that's what I am supposed to do? You know I'd pay you to do this stuff for me, there is often times I just don't know what I am doing."
A situation I ran into this weekend where my friend's dad bought a new computer and was trying to get his email working on it. He had the old machine running POP3 and the new machine didn't have any accounts set up. He was use to Outlook Express so I set him up with Windows Live Mail and added the two new accounts to his app. For some reason I couldn't get Internet access or ping out so I released his IP and renewed it and all was well. I then added a desktop shortcut and quickstart icon, showed him how to open the program, check emails and send emails. I did all this in about 5 mins and the guy and his son seemed really impressed but to me it was about as difficult as filing a car with gas.
So, as I said before I am having a difficult time running this business b/c I just can't justify charging people the "market" hourly rate for doing what I feel is "common knowledge" (to me at least, but I guess not to non-techies). I have confidence in myself and my abilities and I know that I could provide excellent service to all my customers BUT I do not want to take advantage of them as I would not want them to do that to me.
So, can any members chime in on this situation and give their perspective on this or a similar scenario?
I think about it like an auto mechanic; changing spark plugs is usually pretty simple and straightforward and is kind of "common knowledge/sense" (or is it not??) but is it "right" to charge someone $40+parts to change 4 plugs in 30 mins?
Now you might be wondering what I did for him. I added two new email accounts to Windows Live Mail on a new computer he just purchased. Pretty simple huh.!? When he said that to me I didn't know if he was joking around or if he was serious. This man is probably in his 60's and IDK his technology/computer background so maybe adding email server addresses is more advanced than I had originally thought.
You should charge. I have a lot of clients that call for simple questions. If i didnt charge i would never make any money! I would charge $50.00 for what you just did. People are paying for your knowledge base. I know it seems like common knowledge to techies but most people have no idea what a pop account is. lol. You will be a lot more successful when you realize they are paying for your knowledge more than anything.

You should definitely charge for things like this. How to fix a broken AC unit is surely "common sense" to the HVAC man but he sure charges!!! I think it would benefit you to put some sort of 15 min. rate in place for situations like this. For example you could charge him 20 bucks for 15 min. instead of feeling guilty about charging 100 bucks for an hour(example). Simply put...no matter how talented you are you aren't going to make any money if you don't charge for your services. Do yourself a favor and start charging.
In general, if it sounds like it might be a 'simple little fix', I'll book them after my main morning or main afternoon (say, 11:30ish/4ish). This way, if it does turn out to be 'that simple' I can cut them a deal at my discretion. If they're close to my previous call or otherwise convenient (maybe a quick eHousecall), then I might not charge directly but I'll tell them I'll put a note on their account to 'round up' the bill a bit next time.
They can't do these things for themselves, so you provide a valuable service -- in their eyes, if not yours. They see it as perfectly appropriate to pay for that value-adding service. When the price exceeds their perceived value, they will search for a lower price or be willing to live with an unfulfilled need if no price is low enough. The search for the lowest price that fulfills the need involves risk, and is a trade-off between quality, reliability and availability of the service, plus trust/comfort. They could get a pizza tech to do what you did, but he/she might just screw it up, destroy or steal data, break things or leave them regretting not having paid a higher price for greater certainty of a better outcome, with less risk and worry. Some say that charging too little diminishes the value they perceived having received. I think in the end, it comes down to self-confidence in yourself and belief that you're just as good or better at what you do than your peers who charge what you do, or more.

You either run a business and charge or you be the friendly neighborhood computer guy and don't charge. If you try to do both you're gonna suck at filling both roles.
I know how to put gas in my vehicle and step on the gas and brake pedals and that's about it. I know what a spark plug looks like, but couldn't tell you where it goes. That's what I have a mechanic for. An oil change is one of the easiest things you can do to your vehicle (so I've been told) but I've never done it. My mechanic has all the tools, the space, and the expertise to do it in no time. I could spend the whole afternoon underneath my vehicle monkeying around with it myself. No thanks.
It's not that I don't have a desire to learn to do it myself (eventhough I really don't), it's just that we're all here for something and the more time I spend monkeying around with things I'm not good at is time that I'm not spending honing the skills that I am already good at. If I do something simple for a customer and they feel silly I tell them we're all here for a reason. My accountant customer can file taxes better and faster than I can, my restaurant customer can make a pizza better and faster than I can, and my mechanic customer can fix my vehicle better and faster than I can. I can fix computers better and faster than they can. win/win
I wouldn't even do a 15 minute rate. Keep it at 30 or 60 minutes minimum. Yeah it may have been an easy fix that didn't take a long time, except it did take you time and gas to get there. You also have business expenses that have to get paid for. Also the time you spent doing this quick job is time you had to bump a longer paying job. Trying to hit your numbers 15 minutes at a time is tough. Charge. You won't be helping your customers any if you don't charge and go out of business because you're out of money.
Don't try to impress people with your ability to fix problems at lightning speed, it puts doubt in your head about whether what you did was worth what you should be charging for it.
What if he called pizza tech and they guy spent an hour googling pop settings and other various things because he wasn't as "good" as you? The difference is he still gets paid for lesser quality work, he gets to eat ... you don't. It isn't fair to yourself or your customers to charge less than what you are worth because eventually you will run out of money, go out of business, and now you are broke with no job and they don't have a computer tech anymore because you are serving tables.
Use your speediness or your ability to quickly fix "common sense" problems as an opportunity to upsell. Customers should be well aware of what you charge before you do any work and if you finish quickly there are plenty of things you can do to kill time and BS with the customer.
I turn 5 minute jobs into 60 minute jobs easily.
What happens when you do a simple common fix problem, put your stamp on it and call it fixed in 5 minutes then they call back and say whatever you just did caused their printer to stop printing. Now you are going back out there for an issue you should have charged for in the first place because now what you did created a new problem for them (or that is how they will see it).
Don't cheat yourself
I pay $40 for an oil change. Not because I don't know how to do it but because I don't want to do it. The issue isn't what you know or don't know. You offer a service, you get paid for it.
I think if you don't have a head for business and unless you can reconcile yourself that you are in business to make money then you should start looking for a job. This is not a criticism. My brother is one of the best technologists I know, yet he could not charge people for what he knows. He now works for 3x what he could make self employed,
Thanks for all the excellent replies guys, they are exactly what I needed! Just for the record, I am one of those DIY guys so I view things a little differently. I do see how the "other side" lives where they work hard at their job(s) so they can pay other people to do the work that needs to be done. Me, I just like learning new "crafts" so it is a paying hobby if you will.
Anyway, thanks again for the responses. This gives me some peace/piece of mind about charging.
I provide free online instructions on how to do the basics of maintenance... error check the drive, remove unneeded programs under add / remove programs, defragment, disc cleanup, and scan for viruses. I openly tell people to visit my site to see how it's done so that they can do it themselves. Some people still can't figure out how to do it. If so then I charge $30 for a simple tune up, which includes some tweeking of msconfig.
Also when someone brings in their computer for the first time I'll take a look at it and see if they really have a big problem or not. For example I had a guy come in the other day who thought he had a virus. As it turns out he just had about 5 browser tool bars that took me 2 minutes to remove. I didn't think there was any virus on the computer, but just for good measure I ran Process Explorer, checked his hosts file, and ran a search for "antivirus" to see if the search would get hijacked. That took another 4 minutes. I didn't charge him and sent him on his way.
I had another customer who thought that Flash kept trying and failing to install. As it turns out he didn't know that Flash has very frequent updates and that's normal. Flash was fine. No charge.

Last Full Council Meeting of the Year
What a day! Tuesday started with Honors Convocation at 11 in Shove, where I got to see a number of my friends honored with shiny things in the form of medal awards and, if they were especially lucky, checks. Executive Council members stepped up to the plate, or in this case, the microphone, to present some all campus awards. (I admired their grit, as these awards only came after we'd made it through the alphabet of all the majors and all their awards.) Involved Student of the Year and First Mondays founder Andrew Wallace looked like Michael Phelps up at the podium. It's very strange to be writing this post and thinking about how graduation is in 12 days, but at the same time it's very nice to be a senior at all of these end of the year ceremonies where you can actually see many of your class peers being sought out and recognized.
Tuesday also marked the last full council meeting of the year, and I won't go into too many details as most of them were covered in the Executive Council notes from Monday afternoon. Pat presented the newly elected members of the All Campus Committees, like the Women's Concerns Committee, the Conduct Committee, and all that jazz. Morale was high when it came to the Save the FREX campaign. We've gotten over 700 signatures in a week–very impressive on the part of those campaigning for the cause! Elliot is also having people write postcards about why they think the FREX is important and/or necessary, which (rather than stamping) he can then put in a big box to take to city council. The thing that perhaps we didn't realize before, though, is that our prerogative is just to save the FREX for the next year. Years beyond that are not really in out purview, Elliot explained, and will be left more up to city council and others.
Samantha and Stanley have both been working on surveying student interest in a cheaper means of transporting students from our beloved Colorado College to DIA for breaks from school. There currently is a shuttle, yes, but it's very expensive (upwards of $40 per student) and runs at what I hear are somewhat inconvenient times. Survey respondents were asked to list times when they would most want transportation, and were also asked to list how much they would be willing to pay for said transportation. Return services are always tricky, because it's notoriously hard to get students to commit to when they'll be back. (This is not students' fault!) Anyway, the issue is that we want to make sure this is not a for-profit service that would jeopardize our status as a nonprofit.
AFTER full council we had a lovely reception for CC faculty and staff leaving us after this year. Ryan Haas did a beautiful job organizing the event, and we all enjoyed champagne, light food, and toasts! We will miss all of the wonderful influences who are leaving us, especially Ron Smith after the email he sent us today with rewritten words to a Doors song. I'll end with that.
"This is the end
My CC Friends
This is the end
My beautiful CC friends, the end
Twenty years of enforcing, the end
No longer working, the end
This retirement is no surprise, the end
I'll never look into criminal eyes….again
Can you picture what it will be
So different without me
You're desperately in need….of some…new director's hand
In a…. new and exciting changing CC land."
-Ron Smith

Late one Manhattan afternoon at a Nespresso bar heady with fresh-brewed java and demitasse-sipping foreigners, I met with Maura, 29, a single musician who lives in Brooklyn. While I slugged back double espresso cappuccinos with shameless heaps of sugar, Maura nursed a chamomile tea while recounting
her three-year odyssey of dermatological horror, her mellifluous voice belying the gripping drama she was describing. Naturally, given my obsession with all matters epidermal, I was transfixed. Scrutinizing her facebrown doe eyes, rosy lips, and a dewy complexion framed by cascading brunette locksI could hardly believe what she was saying, so at odds was it with the fresh-looking pretty before me.
But in August 2005, despite never having acne as a teenager or so much as a smattering of blackheads to warn her, Maura literally awoke one morning to find that her face had turned medieval on her: From forehead to jawline, her skin had erupted in oozing pimples and swollen sebaceous cysts that made it hurt even to smile. As they healed, defiant red scars marked their wake. They also left invisible (and all the more pernicious for it) scars on Maura's psyche: She felt paranoid, alienated, and downright awkward in her own indisputably undesirable skin.
"As a performer, I have to be confident and focused and feeling good," Maura told me. "The acne made me feel embarrassed. I tried to tell myself I was being superficial. It didn't work. I would think everyone was looking at these huge zits when I was onstage. I was self-conscious when I was dating. I didn't notice any triggers or patternsno matter what I did, I always had acne."
Maura's was a late-onset case, and though more severe than most, it was hardly a rarity. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is the most common skin disorder, affecting 40 to 50 million people in the United States, from teenyboppers and celebutantes to soccer moms and barmaids well past their prime. While adolescent boys are hit harder than teenage girls, after puberty, adult women are the main victims, their zits occurring more frequently and more numerouslyas well as proving more resistant to treatmentthan those of adult men.
But not all adult female acne is equally opportunistic; the more aggressive manifestations of the diseaseyes, acne is deemed a disease by dermatologistscan resist a multitude of cures because
the remedies don't treat the root of the problem.
Having no idea to what lengths she would eventually have to go to find salvation for her raging complexion, Maura began regularly raiding the skin-care aisles of CVS, praying for relief from a power higher than pimples. She pinned her hopes on over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide, an antibacterial ingredient, or salicylic acid, a mild compound derived from willow bark that causes the outer layer of dead skin cells to slough off, unplugging blocked pores. But despite a mounting pile of lotions, scrubs, soaps, serums, gels, creams, peels, and pads, Maura's face remained a festering mess.
Did Proactiv hold the solution? So promised the infomercial that seduced Maura into making that 1-800 call. But after giving the three-step treatment a two-month trial, she conceded another defeat. Next came the herbal panaceas: tea-tree oil, aloe, and lavender. She concocted facial masks of eggs, oatmeal, grapefruit, lemon, and yogurtingredients ultimately better suited to a healthy breakfast than to hard-core blemish busting.

Obviously Israel is the main winner in any destabilization effort in Syria and so I think that these so-called al-Qaeda mercenaries that people..., that the Saudis are letting out of prison to go and kill people in Syria are really defacto Israeli mercenaries and one of these days, I think that people in the Persian Gulf region are going to figure this out."
I think that this is a last ditch desperate act because they are not making any progress. The insurgency in Syria which is really more of a destabilization effort directed by foreigners is bogged down and I think what this attack on Damascus really reveals, is an amazing convergence between Israel and al-Qaeda. They seem to be on the same side, all the time.
Israel is destabilizing Syria, al-Qaeda is destabilizing Syria; Israel wants to undermine Lebanon, al-Qaeda undermines Lebanon. You know, al-Qaeda runs around attacking Muslims all over the world and Israel runs around attacking Muslims all over the world and it makes me wonder whether maybe Israel is actually just another branch of al-Qaeda.
The Yinon plan, which was revealed back around, I believe 1970, set out the Israeli strategy for future decades and that strategy was based on balkanizing the Middle East; breaking up the nations around the region which could pose a strategic threat to Israel some day because the people of the region have no use for Israeli apartheid, so in order to deal with this unsustainable situation in this settler colony in Palestine, they have decided that they are going to have to break up the countries around them into the small and powerless units and to do that they are striking on the fault lines that already exist; the fault lines of the Sunni- Shiite divide; the fault lines between different ethnic groups, the Kurds, etc. the Alawites in Syria versus the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Israelis are running around making a lot of trouble, they are the most aggressive country in the world, pound for pound, and their Mossad has, as a model, "By way of deception thou shalt do war, By way of deception thou shalt do war".

The End
July 15, 2014 | by Rowan Ricardo Phillips
The World Cup doesn't end so much as it slips back into itself.
As soon as the whistle is blown one last time, the recaps, the nostalgia, and the smart surmises begin. But then, a day later, after the last team has returned to its home country and the cheers of hundreds of thousands of euphoric fans, the specifics start to stretch beyond the immediate recall they enjoyed during these June and July days. The locations and stadia whose names were on the tip of your tongue begin to hang back as you go forth with your life. You've suddenly forgotten the name of that player you didn't know on that team you weren't familiar with—the player you'd enjoyed so much that you'd learned to pronounce his name perfectly. Or, if you're American and have grown through this tournament to love the game, the world may suddenly seem farther away again. The excuses to strike up a conversation with a stranger dwindle. The news of the rest of the world starts with the Middle East again. And left to fend for themselves, the details of your World Cup experience begin to connect their own dots.
Mario Götze—the brilliant, young, attacking midfielder who scored the winning goal for Germany with seven minutes remaining in extra time in the final in Rio de Janeiro, after Argentina enjoyed the clearest chances in the game—becomes Andrés Iniesta, the brilliant, young, attacking midfielder who scored the winning goal for Spain with four minutes remaining in extra time in the final in Johannesburg, after the Netherlands enjoyed the clearest chances in the game.
Unreserved praise for German planning and perseverance as the model for world football becomes unreserved praise for Spanish art and expression as the model for world football.
The thirteenth-ranked 2014 USA team, which showed significant improvement by qualifying after winning one game, drawing one game, and losing twice in Brazil, becomes the fourteenth-ranked 2010 USA team, which showed significant improvement by qualifying for the second round after winning one game, drawing two games, and losing one.
The reigning World Champion, Spain, bowing out meekly in the first round of this 2014 tournament, becomes the reigning World Champion, Italy, bowing out meekly in the first round of the 2010 tournament.

How apt that the Brazilians are living off Schadenfreude: after the debacle against Germany and a little extra humiliation from Holland, all Brazil's fans seemed to want was for Germany to prevent Argentina from victory dancing on the beach at Copacabana. Believe me, I get it. As a lifelong supporter of Tottenham Hotspur FC in the English Premier League, much of my soccer pleasure in the last half-century, sadly, has derived only from misfortunes experienced by Arsenal FC, Tottenham's arch rivals. In the years 1960–1962, Tottenham was clearly the superior team—since then, not so much. Like Brazil and Argentina, the two clubs are neighbors, and Arsenal, like Brazil, has the larger fan base and more money.
But I want to tell you, Brazilians: Schadenfreude (yours and mine) is unhealthy. It mocks the meat it feeds on. Brazil (population two hundred million) is in a much better position that Argentina (population forty-one million) to do something to transform its lackluster team into world-beaters. They need look no further than Germany, where, over a twenty-year period, an entire system from youth soccer up was revamped in the wake of defeat and disappointment to produce the superior team that yesterday won the World Cup in style: a triumph that not a soul would deny they deserved. Is this why the U.S. keeps spying on Deutschland? Looking for the blueprint that will take us to number one? Or are we simply after Angela Merkel's recipe for Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte?
The sun set behind Christ the Redeemer, and then Argentina went down, too. Lionel Messi won the Golden Ball for best player in the tournament (not that he cared), but it could just as easily have gone to Arjen Robben or Bastian Schweinsteiger or Javier Mascherano. After two overtime games in five days, Messi looked, at times, as if he were walking through treacle. When, as the final minutes ticked away, he stepped up to take his last do-or-die free kick, he was already a forlorn figure; that ball was going wide, or over the bar, and everyone in the Maracanã knew it. Messi's problem? He was too much on his own, dropping ever deeper, as if a retreat into the shadows of his own half would conjure a Di María to run back up the field with him. In his most successful years, Pelé was surrounded by players of great genius—Garrincha, Tostão, Jairzinho, and Rivelino—individuals with talents that didn't quite match the master's, but enabled them to provide stellar support. While Mascherano was a beast in the Argentine defense, Messi had no one quite at the level required for his game to shine at its brightest. He'll have to return to Barcelona for that.
Of course, there's always the feeling that he should have been able to do it on his own—a feat Maradona is believed to have accomplished in World Cup 1986, when he scored or assisted on ten of Argentina's fourteen goals. But, even with the great Lothar Matthäus on board, the West Germany that Argentina beat in that final was not at the same level as Germany 2014, the first team to win a major international championship since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Where Germany is concerned, everyone reaches for the engineering metaphors—it's knee-jerk—and, this time around, it doesn't apply. Okay, Germany is well coached: Is this why Ian Darke, the English ESPN/ABC commentator, described Jogi Löw as resembling a Bond villain? Baffling. The team played with a smoothness not like that of a well-oiled machine, but more like that of the movements of choreographed dancers. It looked like art out there, not industry. Certainly Mario Götze's lovely goal from André Schürrle's cross was full of grace: one swift movement, chest to foot to back of net. Götze's father is a professor of computer science at Dortmund University. His son's goal may be the best thing that has happened to academia this century.
I've watched fourteen World Cups, and 2014 is the best I can remember since 1970, bites and all. And now we move on to Putin-land, where Russia (population 146 million) will take on their greatest rivals, the eleven courageous young women of Pussy Riot.

Let's Get Metaphysical
July 10, 2014 | by Rowan Ricardo Phillips
Argentina and the Netherlands played yesterday's second semifinal. That's as much as should be said about the match, which forced us to appreciate what this World Cup has been, while remembering what it could have been. Throughout 120 minutes of football, there was first, last, and above all an air of safety that had been refreshingly absent from most of the games thus far—and with that absence came gifts of goals and good play. But yesterday, there was so much at stake: safe passage to a World Cup final. Since both teams are middling, professional, and graced by the presence of once-in-a-lifetime, left-footed talents, they took no risks—no playing the ball patiently through the midfield, no attempts at a tactical surprise. It was a game of chicken, and a penalty kick shoot-out was the inevitable collision.
Or: Argentina and the Netherlands played yesterday's second semifinal. That's as much as should be said about the match, which forced us to rue what this World Cup could have been, and to remember it exactly as it was. Throughout 120 minutes of football, there was an air of danger in every movement that put to the sword the careless attacking and defending we've seen in all the games thus far—we've suffered own gifted goals and poor play for it. But yesterday, there was so much at stake: safe passage to a World Cup final. Since both teams are fairly stout and battle-tested—graced by the presence of not only once-in-a-lifetime, left-footed talents, but a host of other complimentary stars—they went forward intelligently instead of rashly. They avoided over-elaborating in the middle of the pitch and followed their tactical plans to the letter. It was as though the game was played in a labyrinth, and a penalty kick shoot-out was the inevitable way out.
Football games between sides with history between them seem to exist in a multiverse—everything that has happened between them happens here simultaneously. All outcomes exist at once. Hence, Argentina versus the Netherlands in the São Paulo of 2014 is Argentina versus the Netherlands in the Marseille of 1998 is Argentina versus the Netherlands in the Buenos Aires of 1978. The weight of history is in the thickness of the air: young men run into each other with the anxiety and ache of memories that are not theirs, and the colors of their shirts become portals. No competition is barnacled by its past like a World Cup. Two sides significantly better than Brazil—but neither of which had ever defeated Brazil—capitulated in the round of sixteen and in the quarterfinals, more to the canary-yellow shirts than to the players who wore them. (We know what happened afterward.) Read More »
Third Place
July 8, 2014 | by Rowan Ricardo Phillips
The arc of this World Cup nears its completion. Over prosperity and poverty, over cities and shores and jungles, over fair winter and fiery winter, it ascended, curved, and now looks to settle, in Rio's Maracanã on Sunday.
But first, the midweek semifinals. Four teams remain, and four heavyweights at that—Argentina, Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands. Two of these will paint the enduring portrait of this World Cup.
There's hardly a World Cup whose final image hasn't occurred in its final match. Think of Holland's Nigel de Jong's karate kick to Spain's Xabi Alonso's chest in 2010; or Zinedine Zidane's headbutt in 2006; or Ronaldo, who'd sat out most of the past three seasons because of knee injuries, scoring the only two goals of the 2002 final against Germany; or Zidane's two first-half goals against Brazil in the '98 final, and the strange sight of Ronaldo, then at the height of his powers, seeming to struggle to stay on his feet; or the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year, Roberto Baggio, missing the decisive penalty against Brazil in Los Angeles in 1994; the euphoria of Paolo Rossi in '82; the Dutch scoring in '74 against West Germany in West Germany, within two minutes of kickoff, and with the Germans yet to touch the ball; and on, and on.

The Missing Borges
April 16, 2014 | by Graciela Mochkofsky
Seven years ago, a stolen first edition of Borges's early poems was returned to Argentina's National Library. But was it the right copy?
The world of rare books and manuscripts is full of intrigues, betrayals, and frauds. Alberto Casares has lived in this world for decades; as the president of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of Buenos Aires, he's an expert on the subject. He's got the physique du rôl: a gray, messy beard; a soft body; an intense and wary look.
A few months ago, Casares was offered a seventeenth-century original edition of Don Quixote for one million euros. He recognized it as a well-known forgery from the nineteenth century, worth no more than €200,000. The seller took it away, determined to find a more unsuspecting client, and Casares was left alone with the melancholy of having lost something that was never his to own.
What would some people give to own it? Casares told me, "Bibliographers are willing to commit crimes to follow their mad desire to own things." He was thinking of a former client, Daniel Pastore, a collector of rare books and first editions, heir to a pharmaceutical fortune and owner of Imago Mundi, Buenos Aires's most elegant antiquarian bookshop, which closed a few years ago after a succession of international scandals involving Pastore.
Casares was annoyed and fascinated by Pastore, who was eighteen the first time he walked into Casare's bookshop. He was handsome, rich, likeable, and learned—a good client. But he was also pedantic; he claimed to know more about rare books than Casares. Sometimes he did. But not when it came to Jorge Luis Borges. Read More »
In Patagonia in Patagonia
May 14, 2013 | by Sandra Allen
While I was traveling in South America, a friend, a writer, heard I was heading down to Patagonia. At the end of an e-mail he broke into all caps: "DRINK LOTS OF WINE FUCK SHIT UP RIDE A HORSE AND READ SOME BRUCE CHATWIN." Fortunately, my boyfriend and I had been drinking wine and fucking shit up plenty in Argentina already. While I like horses in theory, I haven't had the desire to get on one since I saw National Velvet as a child. His last command, though, made me curse myself—I'd meant to buy a copy of the Chatwin before leaving the states. I figured it was now unlikely I'd find a copy in English. The next afternoon, we entered a Palermo Viejo bookstore. High on a shelf in the brief English-language section, I excitedly located a shrink-wrapped copy of the Penguin Classics edition of In Patagonia.
In his smart introduction, Chatwin biographer Nicholas Shakespeare describes his own experience of reading In Patagonia in Patagonia: "One morning, in a gesture soon to be repeated by a generation of backpackers, I was waiting for a bus in the dusty scrubland west of Trelew when I dug out a book I'd brought with me … I'd never heard of the author, but his was the only contemporary book I could find about my destination. I opened the first page and I read the first paragraph and that, really, was that." Shakespeare summarizes the oft-told circumstances surrounding the book's inception: There had been a bit of mangy, ancient hide in Chatwin's grandmother's cabinet of curiosities when he was a boy. It was from a brontosaurus, he'd been told, from Patagonia. This scrap—which actually belonged to a Patagonian ancient sloth—ignited a spark that lingered in Chatwin's imagination. As an adult he'd already been Sotheby's auctioneer and an archeologist before turning to writing. After years of work on an unsuccessful manuscript, he was reminded of his desire to visit Patagonia by octogenarian designer and architect Eileen Gray. It had long been her dream to visit Patagonia, as well, and she told him to "go on my behalf." So he did. It is said—perhaps mythically—that he sent a cable to his employer, the London Sunday Times Magazine, stating, "Have gone to Patagonia." He wasn't heard from for months.
The manuscript he delivered to his editor, which was published in 1977, was career defining. It has been credited with reviving the moribund "travel writing" genre. It's also safe to say it birthed intrigue about Patagonia in the minds of his many readers—Shakespeare's "generation of backpackers." In a story about hiking in Chilean Patagonia from early this year in the New York Times, Ondine Cohane writes that she'd wanted to travel to Patagonia ever since she'd read In Patagonia twenty years before, in high school. She writes that the book "drew me both to the place and in no small way to the profession of travel writing itself." While Shakespeare is an exception to this trend—he had visited Patagonia in his youth before returning with Chatwin in tow—he states that of all the authors he'd read on the place, "none had validated my Patagonia as Chatwin had."
I admittedly didn't know much about Patagonia before going there; it was my boyfriend's dream more than it was mine. Back home, I had glanced through some Lonely Planets and Rough Guides and only half-pictured lots of empty space and perhaps some beautiful peaks. By the time I'd finished Shakespeare's introduction to the Chatwin, I felt convinced I'd never needed a book as badly as I needed In Patagonia in Patagonia. Read More »

FGCU enjoys Sweet 16 run
Florida Gulf Coast University is first No. 15 seed to advance to second weekend
Florida Gulf Coast University has made history in this year's NCAA Tournament, becoming the first No. 15 seed to ever advance to the Sweet 16.
"It's crazy right now," said one student. "It's not even this busy when it's time to get books when class is starting, but right now, everyone is buzzing about FGCU.
The school of about 13,000 students has grabbed headlines since the men's basketball team upset Georgetown and San Diego State University. The hoops team joined Division I five years ago.
READ: No. 15 seed goes from unknowns to Cinderellas | Florida Gulf Coast apparel sales soar on NCAA success |
"I'm getting phone calls and messages from family in different countries and their like, I hear all this great information about your school," said Anthony Dinatale.
"No one knew where this university was and within a weekend, it was the number one searched topic on Google," said Emma Smith.
"We usually get overshadowed by the bigger schools like Florida or even South Florida, but now we get to show what we are all about," said one student.

"It's awesome," said another student. "America's falling in love with the team I think with every game."
"They are having a great time out there, throwing alley oops, shocking the world," said a third student.
"This is their special moment. Everyone has their time to shine," said a fourth student. "Hopefully, the 15 minutes of fame don't stop this weekend."
On Friday, FGCU faces Florida in a game scheduled to begin just after 10 p.m. ET. Regional No. 3 seed Florida began the tournament as the 12th-ranked team in the country. Odds makers have the Gators as heavy favorites.

Recently, MGA Research Corporation was awarded a five-year multi-standard contract for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Testing for this contract was awarded to MGA's Michigan and Wisconsin facilities and includes FMVSS 200 series testing for crash, seats, head restraints, roof structures and more.
In November, MGA will conduct its first round of FMVSS 202a Dynamic Option testing for the NHTSA. MGA has been performing 202A dynamic testing since 2005 for many companies including OEM's, various automotive seat suppliers, headrest suppliers, aftermarket suppliers, and military seat suppliers.
Through working with our customers, MGA has gained vast experience with this specification, having performed thousands of tests on many different types of seats and head restraints. Essentially, the dynamic 202A test is a rear impact crash simulation using a sled test system, which is designed to evaluate whiplash. A plot of the pulse is provided in Figure 1. The test requires meeting three criteria:
- Head to Torso Rotation (<12°)
- Head Restraint Width (>170 mm measured 65 mm below the top of the head restraint)
The main requirement for this testing is that the posterior rotation of the head relative to the torso during the dynamic event must not exceed 12°. Prior to the release of the final rule back in 2004, this rotation was measured using video analysis by placing targets on the head and torso of the ATD and tracking the angle change of each and then taking the difference. Now the ATDs are equipped with head and chest gyros which directly measure the angular rotation. For the second criterion, HIC is a widely used calculation throughout the testing industry that is used to indicate the potential for a serious head injury.
If you would like to schedule a test, or simply learn more about this standard, please contact Kevin Oliverio by email at (firstname.lastname@example.com) or by phone at (248) 506-7381.

I haven't heard a beep from the guy who I met for coffee last Friday. I like him. Today is Thursday so if he hasn't made contact yet, he is not interested. What a bumper.
Also I am not happy at work.
The environment is too toxic. My ally is resigning and the brown noser has got this position.
My life is currently at rock bottom...
Is it the weather? I am feeling so blue nowadays. I don't want to come to work.
