A "vet" becoming a "rookie" again...
I haven't seen something like this posted..
So, looks like I am transfering to a new department..pending some final interviews and such. (500 miles away from my current..)
Being I have 15 years on the job, I am far from being an actual rookie. I won't have to go through the new departments "schooling", but I will be a new guy in the station. On that, since I won't have any books to study, what should I do with my down time? I know the typical "learn the apparatus", streets, etc....
Just looking for a little advice/guidance...
Try to fit in and have a open mind and a closed mouth
Slop sink, Flags and pump 150
Getting there is half the fun
I'm sure you already know this but I believe that it bears repeating. DO NOT compare departments. The "my old dept. used to do it like this or we never did it like that" is a huge turn off to the guys you are trying to fit in with. Now that that is out of the way, other than the rigs and streets and "tactical" stuff, study up the department's policy and procedures, SOP's, and general orders.

Several posters have said it before me, but I will echo what they are saying. The new department does not care how long you were a firefighter before you started with them. They expect you to assume the role of a rookie firefighter. Anything less and they will be very disappointed in you.
Think back to what has made a successful probationary firefighter on your CURRENT department. Here is something to help you in your travels.
Best of luck to you.
The following is an excerpt from my book, Smoke Your Firefighter Interview. Although it may be a review for those who have already read the book, I felt it important enough to include here.
The First Day
The following article is being reprinted with the permission of the author, Captain David Shetland of the Long Beach Fire Department.
The fire service is going through unprecedented turnover due to the Baby Boom generation retiring. Hiring is at an all-time high.
The downside is, we are losing an entire generation of experienced firefighters. Most had military experience; as a result, their work ethic, motivation, and esprit dcorps served as an excellent example for rookies.
With these personnel gone, firefighters with only three or four years experience may be thrust into the unfamiliar position of being the most experienced person on the job the Bull Firefighter. As such, he or she must serve as a role model to new hires.
This information is based on years of instruction that was given to me several years ago by my senior firefighter. I have shared it dozens of times with other firefighters, and it has served them well. Now I will pass it on to you.
Ill always remember what the drill instructor told me on the last day of academy: You only have one chance to make a first impression. Since then, Ive done a lot of thinking about ways to make a positive first impression hopefully, one that will last your entire career.
After receiving your initial assignment, you should probably visit the fire station before your first shift. This offers several advantages over showing up the morning of your first day of work. Among them:
Locating the fire station ahead of time ensures you wont get there late on your first day because you got lost.
Its advantageous to become familiar with the firehouse in advance. Where do you park? Is there a gate and, if so, will you need a key? Will you be issued a station key? Where should you put your turnouts, and what time should you arrive?
You can talk with the other rookie(s) to learn the morning routine and find out what duties need to be completed before line-up. For example, what time is the flag raised? When is the paper brought in and coffee started? Find out any other special information that may pertain to that particular station, and ask for a tour.
Dont forget the importance of becoming familiar with the apparatus on which you will be riding. You are going to be a vital part of that apparatus and its crew. Know it; live it; learn it.
When you show up on this reconnaissance mission, be sure to bring ice cream or another treat with you. This will go a long way with the crew.
When your actual first day of work arrives, it is a good idea to show up in uniform (and carrying donuts). Be nice and early.
The absolute first priority is to find out which apparatus you will be riding on and where. Once you have learned this information, relieve the person in that seat and check over the apparatus thoroughly.
My suggestion is, once you have put your turnouts on the rig, immediately check your breathing apparatus and all its functions. If someone should ask you the pressure in the bottle, you should know it!
Now go through the rest of the rig with the same resolve. Your life, as well as the other members of your crew and the citizens you are sworn to protect, depends on this equipment.
Here is something else to consider: If your fire station has multiple rigs, you should know them all. At a moments notice, you just might be temporarily assigned to another piece of apparatus.
Once you have completed these tasks, make sure to get right to your daily duties. Finish them expeditiously.
When the captain calls line-up, be the first one in the kitchen. While youre waiting for the other members to arrive, straighten up the kitchen and start serving coffee. Be the last one seated, and provide service throughout the line-up.
It just doesnt look good for you to stand around while a senior member of the crew serves coffee. Weve all had our day in the sun, and now its your turn.
Once line-up is done, start working on the weekly duty. Dont wait for someone to tell you what to do.
If at any time a run comes in, make sure you are the first one on the rig. Write down the address and the nature of the call.
Its not uncommon for other crewmembers to say, Where are we going, and what is it for? This is especially true if the department doesnt have MDTs. The point is, if they ask and you have the information, its Brownie Points for you.
When you have completed your daily and weekly duties, what is next? This is a good time to ask other crewmembers if they need assistance with anything. If they dont, its time to go through the rigs again and again.
What kind of impression will you make if a piece of equipment is requested and you dont know where it is? You know the answer to that! I cant stress enough the importance of not only knowing where everything is, but what it is and how to use it.
As a rookie, youre under the microscope. In other words, youre going to be scrutinized throughout your probation.
The following are some general guidelines for not only making a good first impression, but also creating a reputation you can be proud of your entire career:
Introduce yourself to everyone. Dont wait to be asked who you are.
Dont be afraid of mistakes! If youre not making mistakes, youre not learning.
Never give up your tools. If someone asks to borrow them, inform the person that as soon as you have completed your initial task you will be happy to assist him or her.
Always answer the phone.
Show initiative do things without being told.
Do one extra task per day for your station or apparatus.
Be seen but not heard.
If youre not sure if you should be in full PPE, err on the side of caution and fully suit up.
Be the last one to bed and the first to rise.
Prepare completely for drills. Remember, the rest of the crew has heard the drill numerous times. Do everything possible to give them some new information they may not have heard before.
Always give 110%. You want others to tell you to slow down, not speed up.
Remember, if they want your opinion, they will give it to you!
A career in the fire service is a privilege - so no complaining about being interrupted during dinner or after you go to sleep. When you are given what you feel is a tough or crummy assignment, remember that you dont have to do it, you get to do it. Never forget that!
Being a rookie is not an easy task. The fire service is filled with old traditions and quirky nuances, but if you start with these simple guidelines, youre sure to create outstanding habits and make a terrific first impression. Believe it or not, youll probably look back on your probation as the greatest time of your life!

Some good points...but another question.
How to handle "veterans" on said department that are 20 years younger and have less experience than myself? I'll be 41 and have a "few" more years on the job than some of the 21 year old kids I'll be working with.
Treat them like senior guys that have been on the job longer than you.
They have.
You're choosing to start over, so you have to accept that you're the probie, the toilet scrubber, the coffee maker, etc, etc. The "kids" as you put it are senior to you, and veterans of that Dept. Suck it up and do the probie thing, or stay where you are.
No offense, but I'm kind of surprised that as a 15 year guy you're even asking questions like this.

Wife has been offered a "dream job"....and I was luckily was able to test and transfer. And we have had "new old guys" come to my "old" department and we make sure to tell the "new old timers" to respect the knowledge and background of the new guys.
I was in the same position as you earlier this year, I had 12 years experience and was hired on with Little Rock FD. You have 2 ears and one mouth. Remember that. The best part about your experience is when you get your first big fire, actions will far surpass any words or stories you might have told. The guys you are going to work with will play many pranks on you just to see how you handle them. If they did not like you, they would not associate with you. LEARN YOUR DISTRICT. I have been on company for two months and they are wanting me to learn how to drive the engine but will never let you unless you have a good idea of where you are going. Take a case of cake mix and plenty of icing and keep in your locker. Whenever you have a 1st fire, first medical....first anything, you will probably be making a cake.

We get plenty of guys who have been in the business for a while prior to getting on. The good ones sit quietly and volunteer for everything, until drill you would have no idea that they have experience. Once at the drill tower it is obvious that they know what end of the hose the nozzle goes on. Once you build your credibility then you'll be able to deal with the 3/30s. Learn the district, SOP's and rigs if the guys with a few years on start on you, learn more than them about their own department and the real senior guys will shut them down.
Basically show them you want to be there.

Personally I have dealt with this from the other side. I was hired at 21 and have been working 10 years. Recently had a guy with about 15 years experience hire on, he was the "rookie" firefighter and I was his Engineer. I can tell you that I felt as awkward as he did. He turned out to be very cool, did the typical "rookie" jobs without complaint and had a great attitude. After a few shifts I started to split the jobs with him and treat him as an equal. I would say go in with a great work hard attitude and check any animosity towards the younger "veterans" at the door and you may be suprised. They might feel as strange as you do about the situation. But if you act like a know it all jerk, it will be easy for them to treat you poorly.
I'm still a few years new at this job. There are guys that have come in after me either with or without more experience, but with more age and maturity than I have. I respect that just as much as firefighting experience.
If the less experienced guys at your new department are smart, they'll recognize your experience. They'll look to you at least as an equal, maybe as their superior in certain situations if they know that you're more knowledgeable in certain subject matter. If we got a rookie with 10 years on a technical rescue team at another department, if he's shown himself to be professional, calm, and knowledgeable, I would have no problems following his lead in a rescue situation.
It will be awkward for the other side of the coin. Don't make it harder by comparing departments, as others have said.

I recently switched departments and had similar questions. I just had to feel my way. Admittedly it's different in a volunteer system and I moved to a neighboring department so people knew me.
As mentioned several times above, avoid comparing departments, especially at first. Once you have been there for a while you may find that their ways actually work better for them. Once you earn their respect, you may be able to suggest ways to improve their operations.
Someone mentioned how to handle the 21 and 22 year olds that are now "senior" to you. This was a little difficult for me to figure out as well, especially since senior members can take the seat of a junior member if there are more people than seats on the rig. One of my first incidents really threw me for a loop. The officer, a LT, kept looking at me to see if he was doing things right. He was, but it was a different experience for me.

Tigers reportedly close to re-signing Laird
The Tigers' search for a catcher to back up All-Star Alex Avila is apparently leading them back to the catcher who mentored Avila when he first reached the big leagues.
When Gerald Laird and the Tigers parted ways a year ago, Laird was looking for playing time. He ended up as a little-used backup to Yadier Molina in St. Louis this year, but now appears headed back to Detroit. Foxsports.com reports that Laird is close to a deal that would reunite him with the Tigers.
Laird fits the profile of what the Tigers are looking for in a backup. He's a right-handed hitter with a good amount of experience, good defense and calls a good game. He brings the added bonus of experience working with Tigers pitchers, including Justin Verlander and Rick Porcello for two years.
Laird was the Tigers' primary catcher in 2009, having been acquired from Texas in a trade for prospects that included Guillermo Moscoso. He batted .225 with four homers and 33 RBIs in 135 games that year for a team that came within a tiebreaker of the AL Central title and had Avila as a late-season call-up. Laird and Avila split time catching in 2010, but Avila got the bulk of the starts down the stretch.
A reunion at this point makes sense. The Tigers went through last year with Victor Martinez backing up Avila, but now don't want the wear and tear on their designated hitter as he approaches his 33rd birthday next month. Laird hit the market looking for playing time last year, but is now at the stage of his career where he'll find better opportunities as a No. 2.

Cherington, Ortiz's agents have 'good dialogue'
Though it doesn't appear Ben Cherington will complete any transactions before the end of the General Mangers Meetings, he did make some headway in several areas, including negotiations with free-agent slugger David Ortiz.
"I talked to David's agents since I've been here at the GM meetings," Cherington said. "I think there's a pretty good understanding of where both sides are. We're just not at the same point yet, but there's a pretty good understanding of where everyone is."
While Jonathan Papelbon, Boston's other marquee free agent, swiftly moved on to Philadelphia, there seems to be motivation from both sides to keep Ortiz in a Red Sox uniform.
Rollins up next in Brewers' shortstop search
If you're a free-agent shortstop, then the Brewers are interested.
While sitting in a holding pattern at first base that's likely to continue until Prince Fielder picks a new team, the Brewers have been among the most active clubs on the shortstop market, meeting or otherwise touching base with the agents for all of the available prominent players. General manager Doug Melvin spoke via telephone in recent weeks with the representative for Jose Reyes, who the Brewers conceded is almost certainly out of their price range, and for Yuniesky Betancourt, who was made a free agent when the Brewers declined his option. The door remains open to Betancourt returning.
Cardinals GM says reported Pujols deal untrue
Right on schedule, things are picking up in the saga of Albert Pujols.
Pujols' representatives reportedly met with the Cardinals on Tuesday night during baseball's annual General Managers Meetings in Milwaukee, a few days after Pujols' camp visited the Miami Marlins. Meanwhile, one St. Louis media member tweeted that an announcement of a deal between Pujols and the Cardinals was imminent, but the club immediately shot that down.
Kuroda Undecided; Dodgers Talk Harang
Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said not only must Hiroki Kuroda decide if he wants to pitch another year for the Dodgers, but the Dodgers must decide if they can fit him into their reduced payroll. Kuroda earned $12 million in 2011 and had his best season as a Dodger. Free agent Aaron Harang is one obvious Plan B for Colletti, who met with the right-hander's agent Wednesday. Colletti nearly traded for Harang two years ago. — Ken Gurnick
Multiyear deals for Lincecum, Cain?
Wednesday, Nov. 16
SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants are well aware that they have something special in Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain, who are essentially co-aces of their pitching staff.
So reports that the Giants are trying to sign both right-handers to multiyear deals, thus buying them out of their first few years of free agency, make perfect sense.
Cain will earn $15 million next year in the final season of a three-year $27.25 million contract and would then become eligible for free agency. Lincecum, who can expect a huge increase through salary arbitration from the $14 million he earned last year, will vault into free agency after the 2013 campaign.
Unless the Giants lock him up first.
Jon Heyman of SI.com reported that the Giants are considering four-year deals for Cain and Lincecum. Most teams consider such longterm contracts risky. But Cain and Lincecum aren't most pitchers. Both are 27, have combined to make six National League All-Star teams and have not endured a serious arm injury.
"We have to keep our pitching together," Giants vice president of baseball operations Bobby Evans said this week at the General Managers Meetings. Retaining Cain and Lincecum through the first half of this decade would accomplish that.

Agent: Cespedes is ready for bigs
Once he declares residency in the Domnican Republic and becomes eligible for Major League free agency, Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes figures to be one of the most sought-out position players on the market.
Agent Adam Katz is confident that his client is ready to play in the Major Leagues this season.
"I'm not an evaluator, but I'm told by people who evaluate, he is [big league ready]," said Katz from baseball's General Managers meetings.
Even Katz admitted it's hard to know quite what the value will be for Cespedes.
"It's really touchy feely," Katz said. "He's an unusual guy. He's 26. He's major league ready. People are going to be evaluate. A value will be established. People will bid competitively, and it will be what it will be."
While Katz sees his client as a center fielder, he would be willing to play the corner positions, something that would help a team like the Boston Red Sox, who have a vacancy in right field.
The Red Sox will look at Cespedes later this week in the Dominican Republic. The Cubs are also scouting him this week. Several other teams have also expressed interest in Cespedes, who has become a bit of a sensation since the posting of a highlight video on Youtube.
"I've never seen anything quite like it since 'Spinal Tap,'" Katz said. "At the end of the day, it was compelling. As quirky as it was, it ended up being very compelling."

Mozeliak denies Pujols report
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak denied a report Wednesday afternoon that Albert Pujols is set to announce his return to the Cardinals.
J.C. Corcoran, a St. Louis radio personality, wrote on his personal Twitter account Wednesday:
"Albert to announce on Friday he's re-signing with the Cardinals."
ESPN's Chris Singleton tweeted something similar a few minutes later, though it was unclear whether he was referring to Corcoran's tweet or going off of other information. Singleton wrote:
"I'm hearing that Albert is going to resign in St. Louis. Stay tuned…"
Either way, though, Mozeliak poured cold water on any notion of a quick resolution to the Pujols talks. Reached by MLB.com to comment on Corcoran's claim, Mozeliak had a three-word email response:
"No truth, zero."

Twins sign SS Jamey Carroll
The Twins signed free agent shortstop Jamey Carroll to a two-year, $6.75 million contract in a deal that was formally announced on Wednesday. The contract carries a mutual option for 2014. Carroll was in Minneapolis on Tuesday to take his physical, which he passed.
This past season for the Dodgers Carroll batted .290 with a .359 on-base percentage and .347 slugging percentage in 146 games. He also stole 10 bases without getting caught.
Carroll, who can also play second base, third base and both corner outfield positions, is known for providing steady defense. It appears likely that he will be installed as Minnesota's everyday shortstop.

This is an authentic stock certificate from Lehman Brother's One William Street Fund. Historic vignette of the Lehman Brothers office front (on 1 William St). Issued and cancelled in the early 1960s. This is a rare opportunity to get a real stock certificate as a memento of the company. This is a very hard to find piece!
REDUCED PRICE - remaining inventory has wrinkles and light scuffing from storage. (returns still accepted)
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. founded in 1850, is a diversified, global financial services firm. It is a participant in investment banking, equity and fixed income sales, research and trading, investment management, private equity, and private banking. It is a primary dealer in the U.S. Treasury securities market. Its primary subsidiaries include: Lehman Brothers Inc., Neuberger Berman Inc., Aurora Loan Services, Inc., SIB Mortgage Corporation, Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB, and the Crossroads Group. The firm's worldwide headquarters are in New York City, with regional headquarters in London, and Tokyo and offices throughout the world.
Historical info: In 1844, 23-year-old Henry Lehman, the son of a cattle merchant, emigrated to the United States from the town of Rimpar, in the German state of Bavaria. He settled in Montgomery, Alabama, where he opened a dry goods store, "H. Lehman". In 1847, following the arrival of Emanuel, the Firm became "H. Lehman and Bro." Finally, with the arrival of their youngest brother, Mayer, in 1850, the Firm changed its name again and "Lehman Brothers" was founded.
By 1858, as the brothers witnessed the shift in cotton's center from the South to New York City, where factors and commission houses were based, Lehman Brothers opened its first branch office there, at 119 Liberty Street. Thirty-two year old Emanuel relocated to New York to run the office. In 1862, facing difficulties as a result of the Civil War, the firm teamed up with a cotton merchant named John Durr to form Lehman, Durr & Co. Following the war the company helped finance Alabama's reconstruction. The firm's headquarters were eventually moved to New York City, where they helped found the New York Cotton Exchange in 1870; Emanuel would sit on the Board of Governors until 1884. The Firm also dealt in the emerging market for railroad bonds, and entered the financial advisory business.
Lehman Brothers became members of the Coffee Exchange as early as 1883 and finally the New York Stock Exchange in 1887. The firm also began to develop international interests in Europe and Japan, as well as expertise in merchant banking. In 1899 they underwrote their first public offering, the preferred and common stock of the International Steam Pump Company.
Despite the 1899 offering of International Steam, the Firm's real shift from being a commodities house to a house of issue did not begin until 1906. The Firm was among the first to recognize the potential of issuing stock as a way for companies to raise capital, in contrast to the issuance of debt, which had historically been the method. In that year, under Philip Lehman, the Firm partnered with Goldman, Sachs & Co., to bring the General Cigar Co. to market, followed closely by Sears, Roebuck and Company. During the following two decades, almost one hundred new issues were underwritten by Lehman Brothers, many times in conjunction with Goldman, Sachs. Among these were F.W. Woolworth Company, May Department Stores Company, Gimbel Brothers, Inc., R.H. Macy & Company, The Studebaker Corporation, The B.F. Goodrich Co. and Endicott Johnson Corporation
Under Peterson's leadership as Chairman and CEO, the Firm acquired Abraham & Co. in 1975, and two years later merged with the venerable, but struggling, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., to form Lehman Brothers, Kuhn, Loeb Inc. Peterson led the Firm from significant operating losses to five consecutive years of record profits with a return on equity among the highest in the investment banking industry.
Upset bankers, who had soured over the power struggle, left the company. Steve Schwarzman, chairman of the firm's M&A committee, recalled in a February 2003 interview with Private Equity International that "Lehman Brothers had an extremely competitive internal environment, which ultimately became dysfunctional." The company suffered under the disintegration, and Glucksman was pressured into selling the Firm to Shearson, an American Express backed electronic transaction company, in 1984, for $360 million. On May 11, the combined firms became Shearson Lehman/American Express. In 1988, Shearson Lehman/American Express and E.F. Hutton & Co. merged as Shearson Lehman Hutton Inc.
In 1993, under newly appointed CEO, Harvey Golub, American Express began to divest itself of its banking and brokerage operations. It sold its retail brokerage and asset management operations to Primerica and in 1994 it spun off Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb in an initial public offering, as Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc's. common stock commenced trading on the New York & Pacific stock exchanges, under the ticker symbol "LEH".
In late August 2007, Lehman Brothers closed its subprime lender, BNC Mortgage. The New York investment bank cut 1,200 positions in 23 locations as a result of the closing of BNC Mortgage. It took an after-tax charge of $25 million and a goodwill writedown of $27 million. Lehman said that poor market conditions in the mortgage space "necessitated a substantial reduction in its resources and capacity in the subprime space". Lehman said it continues to originate mortgages through Aurora's platform. Aurora Loan Services of Littleton, Colo., specializes in Alt-A mortgages.

Grace brand drinking water!
We arrived in Krabi and transferred straight to Railay Beach. While we only planned to stay for three days initially we ended up lingering for a full week. Railay is beautiful and a perfect spot to be based while exploring the islands nearby. We spent most of our time soaking up the sun and getting some rest to fight off the flu. We did head out on a couple of cruises to see Koh Phi Phi and Maya Beach (where the movie the Beach was filmed). We considered moving over to stay on other islands but couldn't bring ourselves to leave idyllic Railay. Tanned, rested and healthy again, we moved on to Malaysia.

Eyewitnesses reluctant to testify against alleged hit men
Memphis cousins face racketeering charges
Two soft-spoken women emerged as star witnesses in the federal trial of two alleged hit men for the menacing cocaine trafficking ring run by Craig Petties.
Over the past four weeks, prosecutors called more than 50 witnesses before resting their case Thursday against cousins Clinton "Goldie" Lewis, 36, and Martin "M" Lewis, 34. The women were the only eyewitnesses to alleged crimes who had no ties to the multimillion-dollar Petties drug organization and no known motive to cooperate with the government.
In fact, both had a good reason not to testify.
Petties associates gunned down at least eight people from 2002 to 2007, including some who were federal witnesses against them.
"You don't want to be here, do you?" prosecutor Greg Gilluly asked one of the women, Tameka Matthews, after she told jurors she saw her former high school classmate, defendant Clinton Lewis, shoot a man in their South Memphis neighborhood.
"No," she quickly replied.
Another witness, Lewis' best friend, Marcus "White Boy" Brandon, told jurors why the victim was shot on Nov. 22, 2004. Brandon said he and Lewis chased down and beat victim Billy Ray Myles, then 19, for stealing drugs and a gun from an organization stash house.
Matthews said she shouted: "Don't kill him!" when she saw Lewis pull a gun.
In court, Myles, an admitted drug addict and thief, pulled up his pants leg to show jurors his scar. Lewis stood over him, Myles said, saying he should kill him.
Instead, Lewis shot Myles in the leg.
Six other Petties organization shooting victims didn't survive. Jurors saw enlarged photos of their bloodied bodies and some autopsy photos on an overhead projector.
One of those victims was Mario McNeil, who had threatened to kidnap Petties' mother and hold her for ransom. He was shot five times in a Kirby Parkway restaurant on March 16, 2007.
Eyewitness Carla Davis, glanced around the courtroom, raised her arm and pointed her finger at Martin Lewis when asked to identify the man she saw walk into Divine Wings & Bar seconds before gunfire erupted.
Davis and friends had been watching the University of Memphis men's basketball team in the NCAA tournament when she noticed Lewis. Her group had joked that the strange man, who had a hoodie pulled over his head on an unseasonably warm day, seemed dressed for a stick-up.
She also had noticed McNeil enter the restaurant earlier because she thought he was attractive. In her panic to run to safety following the spray of bullets, she accidentally stepped on McNeil, who was curled up on the floor. A bystander was shot in the thigh but survived.
In the course of the trial so far, 15 admitted Petties associates have testified about their drug ring's crimes, including the trafficking of thousands of kilograms of cocaine shipped from Mexico and distributed throughout the South. Petties, who grew up in South Memphis, became a top-level broker for the ruthless Beltran Leyva Mexican drug cartel.
Petties' associates testified dispassionately about the murders of perceived enemies, some who had betrayed them and others who were mistakenly targeted.
They told jurors that their boss ordered the death of one of his underlings, Antonio Allen, after he was erroneously told that Allen was a government snitch. Petties then served as one of Allen's pallbearers.
One witness said that after Petties fled to Mexico because he feared drug agents were about to move in on him in Memphis, he began to emulate the cartel's bloodlust. A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration task force ultimately toppled the organization. At least four of Petties' enemies still were on the ring's hit list at the time police interceded.
During the first three weeks of the racketeering trial, prosecutors Gilluly and Asst. U.S. Atty. David Pritchard called witnesses who described the breadth of the organization's crimes, many without mentioning the two defendants on trial.
Last week, that changed.
Prosecutors began to hone in on the crimes they say are directly linked to the Lewis cousins. That includes testimony about drug trafficking, money laundering and murder.
The Lewis defense teams, led by Anne Tipton and Marty McAfee, questioned the motives government witnesses might have to testify and inconsistencies in testimony.
For instance, no two witnesses gave the same account of the kidnapping, beating and shooting death of Marcus Turner, a murder prosecutors blame on the Clinton Lewis.
The defendants' own words were used as evidence.
The government introduced documents that had been sealed for years, that showed that Clinton Lewis met with one of his attorneys, a federal prosecutor and several investigators to give a statement, which often precedes a plea bargain.
Brian Sanders, a deputy U.S. Marshal, told jurors he was in the April 3, 2008, meeting when Lewis admitted to shooting Myles and to following Petties' orders to kidnap Turner at gunpoint in Memphis. Lewis claimed he turned the victim over to others and didn't know who actually carried out the killing.
A guard testified that after Lewis' 2007 arrest on federal charges, she overhead him telling Petties associate Carlos "Lizard" Whitelow: "Don't talk about nothing."
Turner's naked body was found in weeds just over the Mississippi state line in Olive Branch. Whitelow told jurors Lewis told him not to talk about anything, including what happened in Mississippi.
Prosecutors also used Martin Lewis' own words against him.
In court, the younger Lewis wears large eyeglasses and crisp dress clothes, displaying a polite and relaxed demeanor.
A recorded jail phone call played for jurors presented a sharply conflicting image of the defendant. Two months after the murder of McNeil in the wings restaurant, Lewis called his longtime friend, Brandon, with a series of sinister warnings.
During the call from jail, Lewis curses and shouts at Brandon, telling him to stop playing "before I clear all you (expletives) out over there.
"I'm going to X you and your folks out, n --.
"I just laid a n --'s ass to rest."
A Shelby County Sheriff's deputy told jurors that Lewis used another inmate's identification number when making the call -- a common tactic inmates use to try to prevent calls from being traced to them.
One of Lewis' sisters also testified that on March 19, 2007 -- three days after McNeil's murder -- her brother gave her cash and asked her to buy a truck for him in her name. She said he has never had a legitimate job.
When the trial before U.S. Dist. Judge Samuel "Hardy" Mays Jr. resumes this week, defense attorneys are expected to call their own witnesses.

No restaurant charging these prices should force three courses (appetizer, main, dessert) in an hour's time. Waiters need to be trained better. But the view and ambiance are welcome relief from the rest of Manhattan. The food -I had fish- was very well done (albeit, not 'gourmet').
Posted by Rushed diner on 05/20/2013
If you like to be rushed from the moment you arrive, come here. We were not allowed to order appetizers without ordering main courses, so I asked to make sure that there would be a pause between appetizer and entrée. The waiter assured us there would be at least a 20-30 minute pause. However, after the appetizer, sure enough, the main course arrived EIGHT minutes later. Unless you are a pig at a trough, you cannot digest that fast. Not recommended

I didn't expect much from this place - why would a place so reliant on tourists bother to be good? As expected, the view of the pond and the park was great. Unexpectedly, the food was very good - excellent, light and fresh heirloom tomato salad and an asparagus dish. Back to the expected - service, though polite, was poor. We were on a schedule, and informed the waiter of it when we arrived. However, we had to flag him down to give our order, it was an extremely long wait for our food to arrive, and then we had to flag people down to get the check, which also took a long time to process. I'd actually try the place again but only if I had unlimited time and didn't care about being ignored.

Went to bar with my girlfriend to get some food and drinks on a beautiful afternoon. Was able to get seats at bar, which was thankful as we stood waiving for a drink for 5-10 minutes before getting a seat. After getting a seat was greeted after a couple minutes by bartender with a dour look on his face. This should have foreshadowed events to come - ordered 2 apps and an entree to split. When served we had no silverware asked server and he said it was not his responsibility and got into spat with bar staff - I had asked for some bread - got that as a desert. Wanted a second drink - good luck as the bartenders were either arguing or talking to waiters. Server when served entree took app plates away (which never would have happened if he didnt need space to drop my plates on bar) - asked for bread again. Used my silverware from apps for entree. Never saw server or barstaff again - went to cafeteria for some salt and pepper packets cause that was not coming then cleared my own plates as I was tired of looking at them. Brought in drink from outside bar for drink number 3 - at this point I was buzzed enough that the total disregard for customers and sniping between bartenders became amusing. Oh was told by staff that this happens all the time.

Came to the Boathouse for brunch on a beautiful Saturday morning at 11:15 and just beat the rush. We were fortunate to get a table quickly, and as soon as our server departed, she hit into the table and diners next to us and knocked their beverages into their laps. This was not the only waiter/table collision we saw; on account of how densely the tables are packed by the lake, we saw no less than 3 other servers crash into tables with varying degrees of disaster. Everything was served quickly and was prepared well. My fiance had a pedestrian heirloom tomato salad and some perfect chicken sausage with eggs. My maple waffles were adequate, and the fresh fruit compote they were served with was excellent. However, the waffles were completely covered with a layer of powdered sugar that overwhelmed the subtle sweetness of the waffles, a mistake that is inexcusable at this price point and level of sophistication that this venue aspires to. In total, our meal was 80 dollars with 2 drinks and a 15 percent service charge levied. A little on the pricey side, yes, but the ambiance and beauty of the setting more than made up for the price and haphazard execution of some of our dishes.

Analysis of lead in 55 brands of dietary calcium supplements by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry after microwave digestion. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12623663 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The lead (Pb) contents of calcium (Ca) supplements available in Korea were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry using Zeeman background correction and peak area mode. All samples were microwave-digested in concentrated HNO(3). Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and magnesium nitrate were used as matrix modifiers. Fifty-five brands of Ca supplements were classified into seven categories based on the major composite: bone, milk, oyster/clam shell, egg shell, algae, shark cartilage and chelated. The mean Pb contents of Ca supplements were 1.1 microg g(-1) (coefficient of variation 5.7%), ranging from n.d. (not detected) to 6.7 microg g(-1). Ca supplements made of bone have the highest Pb contents (2.3 microg g(-1)) with a wide range (0.1-6.7 microg g(-1)). The results were similar to those reported in other countries. The mean daily intakes of Pb from the supplement could be about 5 microg (mean Pb concentration 1.1 microg g(-1) x mean daily intake 4.5 g) taking 2% of provisional tolerable daily intake that the FAO/WHO Joint Food Additive and Contaminants Committee has set to evaluate its safety. However, measures to prevent potentials of Pb toxicity from overtaking some Ca supplements should be considered. |

The Black Snowman
"Everything black is bad." Or so thinks Jacob Miller, a poor, unhappy boy who lives in a tiny apartment with his mother and his little brother. For Jacob, being black is like being old and used — like the second-hand clothing his family gets from the Salvation Army, or like the Christmas-time snow that falls in his neighborhood and turns into slush as soon as it hits the streets. His little brother Peewee thinks differently, though, and he convinces Jacob to help him build a snowman, even one made out of dirty, black snow. They find an old, colorful cloth in a trashcan and drape it like a scarf on their black snowman. And the snowman comes to life.
The old cloth is actually the remnant of an African kente, worn ages ago among the grass huts of western Africa by an aged storyteller. With the magic of the kente, the spirit of that storyteller lives on and the Black Snowman comes to life to tell stories to Jacob and his brother. From the piles of dark snow, the Black Snowman conjures up Timbuktu scholars and Bornu horsemen. For the first time in his life, Jacob learns of the Bini and the Ashanti, and ultimately something of himself.
Carole Byard's beautiful illustrations capture the bleak realities of inner-city life even as they evoke the landscape of the African past. Against the darkness of Jacob's world we find the kente, radiant with color, and the mysterious images of African warriors appearing in city alleyways. Together with Phil Mendez's moving story, this particular Christmas book shows that the greatest gift a child can receive is an understanding and celebration of his own identity.

The Epitope-based
Scientific Publications
Scientific Overview
Influenza viruses are vulnerable to frequent changes in their haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) surface proteins (especially type A viruses), resulting in new virus strains unfamiliar to the immune system. Antibodies in the blood and other cells of the immune system, which are responsible for protection against repeated infection with the virus, are less effective if the virus surface protein changes; the greater the change, the less effective is the body's immune defense following natural immunization (via infection) or vaccination.
BiondVax's Approach
BiondVax's approach uses a combination of conserved epitopes derived from the influenza virus as immunogens, forming the vaccine. The "conserved epitopes" are common to most human flu virus strains regardless of their antigenic drift and shifts. These conserved epitopes are used to activate the human immune system in a long-lasting and effective manner against known and future strains of the influenza virus. These conserved epitopes are restricted to the viral structure and are not shared by any human protein, thus they are unlikely to induce an autoimmune phenomenon.
The chosen peptides have three primary distinctive qualities:
: the selected peptides are immunogenic thus induce specific immune responses after exposure to the vaccine. A peptide that is immunogenic is also known as an epitope. These responses are reactivated following natural infection.
Conserved epitopes
: the epitopes are "conserved" i.e., they are not vulnerable to antigenic changes and remain unchanged despite changes that occur in other peptides forming part of the virus' protein. This quality enables the vaccine to induce an immune response to a wide variety of virus strains, thus the term "a universal multi-season/multi-strain vaccine".
Combination of epitopes
: The specific selection of conserved epitopes induce production of antibodies (by B-cells = humoral arm) and a variety of T-cells (= cellular arm). The activation of both arms of the immune system is responsible for the enhanced effect of this vaccine.
Key Benefits
Multi-strain protection
multi-season coverage
. One vaccination schedule is expected to confer three to five years protection against the flu.
Year-round vaccination
is possible independent of the flu season and according to patient preferences and health authorities' multi year vaccination program.
Short production cycle
: Recombinant technology allows year-round production planning, and marketing optimization.

New inflow performance relationships for gas condensate reservoirs
The proposed IPR relationships for compositional reservoir systems are based on data from over 3000 compositional reservoir simulation cases developed using various fluid properties and relative perme-ability curves. The resulting IPR curves for gas condensate systems are quadratic in behavior - similar to the Vogel IPR trends (the Vogel (quadratic) rate-pressure profile is generally presumed for the case of a solution gas-drive reservoir system). However, in the case of a gas-condensate reservoir system, the coefficients in the quadratic relationship vary significantly depending on the richness of the gas conden-sate fluid (i.e., the composition) as well as the relative permeability-saturation behavior. Using an alter-nating conditional expectation approach (i.e., non-parametric regression), an approximate model was de-veloped to estimate these coefficients.
This work also includes a discussion of the Vogel IPR for solution gas-drive systems. The original work proposed by Vogel is based on an empirical correlation of numerical simulations for a solution-gas-drive system. Our work provides a critical validation and extension of the Vogel work by establishing a simple, yet rigorous formulation for flowrate-pressure performance in terms of effective permeabilities and pres-sure-dependent fluid properties.
The direct application of this work is to predict the IPR for a given reservoir system directly from rock-fluid properties and fluid properties. This formulation provides a new mechanism that can be used to couple the flowrate and pressure behavior for solution gas-drive systems and we believe that it may be possible to extend the proposed semi-analytical concept to gas-condensate reservoir systems. However, for this work we have only considered a semi-empirical IPR approach (i.e., a data-derived correlation) for the case of gas-condensate reservoir systems. We recognize that further work should be performed in this area, and we encourage future research on the topic of semi-analytical modeling of IPR behavior for gas-condensate reservoir systems.

Screening is a way to evaluate people without symptoms to determine if they are at risk for cancer or have already developed cancer. Screening involves:
There are no screening guidelines or tests specific for esophageal cancer.
However, if you have any risk factors for esophageal cancer, your doctor will want to discuss them with you to help reduce your risk. In certain cases, your doctor may check for the possibility of cancer in the esophagus:

Throttle, throttle, throttle. cut back on the Juice till she flies level... Chuck |
Removing the spring from the throttle really helps too. Some of the mods can be found here: http://www.aeroacemods.com/aam/ http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=401484 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460819 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=444953 Or do a search for aeroace and you'll come up with a lot more ideas. |
Go get a tiger moth. Build it AFTER you read through all of the mods and additions to make it look and fly better. Then you'll be a real "Moth-er". |
I toss my hard, straight up and it will do a double loop if there is enough wind. Then, I clipped 1.5" off the top wing. It needs about a 40 foot straight run to gain altitude but once it is up there it is a rocket. Full left or right will cause it to go into a screaming spinning dive. Just let go of the sticks and it will pull itself out. I don't advise taking that much off the top wing though. It takes a good breeze and a lot of room. If you go into the mod forums for these things, I hope you can read wave equations and keep up with all of the chatter about reprogramming transisters and programming mofsets. I walk out the door, toss the AA and fly at over 100 ft every night before dinner. The Aero Ace reminds me a bit of the Tiger Moth in that it is totally addictive once you get into it. I have 5 of them!!! (well, one is 75 ft. up in a tree and dead with all of the rain we've had) Toys R Us said if I brought them the plane... they would exhange it. So, when the weather clears up, I'll get out the .20ga shotgun again and blow the limbs off the tree. |
I love the Aero Ace! I added some lead to the nose and it flies MUCH better.....Level with less than half throttle! Climbs under full power. Before it just sorta flew around nose high, now it really flies like a normal plane, and with good elevator/speed control.
My Tiger Moth maidened this AM. 3 flights so far, 2 landings, and one crash into a board fence! Wasn't too bad, its ready to fly again. Hoping for less rain and wind for my next flights! |

So whats with all the stuff on the airo ace thing........the Tiger moth is what I like. really neat looking plane.
Ace, more congratulations on the successful maiden.
Buzz, I don't know what to say. You're really a rebel. Low flying moths and altitude record Aero Aces? Isn't it supposed to be the other way round? Like w0ace said, as well as lots of folks in the mod forums, the nose weight really makes it fly more like a real plane, gets rid of the porpoising and it will still climb as far as you want. Maybe not as fast tho. I kinda like mine extra slow and smooth for flying in the backyard, in tight spots it still seems fast enough to get into trouble. Also spend a lot of time flying it in low and close at the flying field. Loads of fun to buzz by peoples heads while they're trying to fly real planes. We've tried to do combat with three in the air at once and haven't had a hit yet, just some close calls. Not counting the hits on people or other pilots of course. Last week Chuck was flying my AA and came within reach of another pilot and he swatted it out of the air like a fly. Gotta admit, no matter what you do with these little guys they are a ton of fun. Wayne |
can you explain how this "wing stick back on" induces such a behavior improvement ? thanks anthony PS i know it's off topic, but buzz please PM me if you think it's preferable .. |

Boomer, Captain Carnage (Chuck), Basketcase, Buzz, and Ace,
Thank you all for the tips and links on the Aero Ace. Too bad we didn't have toys like this and the PTM when I was a kid. Now I have to look too hard to find time to play. But at least I don't have to drive far to find room enough to fly. Will post some pictures of the 3D Tiger Moth when it's getting to be maiden flight time. Hopefully soon. Thanks again. |

Float Fun
Tired of flying with wheels, and since there are plenty of ponds up here in Upstate New York, I thought it was about time to try out float flying. What great fun. Floats are scratch built using 3 mm depron and carbon fiber. They attach directly to the wheel spindles and rubber band on the back wing dowel. To switch back to wheels takes all of 2 minutes. Another new aspect of RC flight I am glad to have experienced. A few pics.......

Has anybondy tried one of the GWS outrunners yet? I have the 2205-15T on order. I have been flying a Feigo in my stock IPS drive for a couple of years now. I thought it would be nice to have it a little quieter by changing over to an outrunner. The Feigo on a 3s 700mah lipo has almost vertical performance (not that I do that much) and I get a good 30min of flight time when just cruising around.
I forgot to mention that this is for the GWS pico Tigermoth. THX! |
Thanks KLH, I plan on running mine on 2s lipos also. According to the motor's specs, it is not made for 3s unless you were to use an extra small prop. So, I plan on using a GWS 8x4 prop on it with a 2s lipo. I bet your friend can fly for a good 35-40min on 900mah! I love my little TM, I have a lot of flights on it and (knock on wood) haven't crashed it yet. I haven't done any mods other than reinforce the struts with balsa, the Feigo motor & foam wheels. I like to cruise around at just enough power to keep her in the air on calm evenings. But, I thought it would be even better with a little less noise which is why I am going to try the GWS outrunner. The IPS gearbox makes a fair amount of noise at certain rpms, and I want to keep it as quiet as possible for my neighbors. I don't want/need tons of climb performance. I found that 3s on the Feigo was just too much and at higher throttle settings the TM just doesn't fly nice. Besides, I can't pass up the chance to try it for only $13.99 from Tower Hobbies.

The U.S. is "fully alive" to the dangers involved in India's neighbourhood, External Affairs Minister S. M. Krishna said.
Referring to the meetings U.S. Defence Secretary Robert Gates had with him and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last evening, Krishna said "in sub-total, the impression that we get is that the U.S. is fully alive to the dangers involved in our neighbourhood, particularly because of the intransigence of Pakistan."
The minister was reacting to a question about Gates' comments that India's patience would be "limited" if a Mumbai-type attack recurs as his warning that Lashkar-e-Taiba in league with al-Qaeda could trigger an Indo-Pak armed confrontation to destabilise the region.
