ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. --The Colonial Quarter is open for business in St. Augustine.
Pat Croce now runs the living history museum in the old city.
He and his crew took First Coast News on a tour of the renovated digs.
"So what you see now is four quadrants covering 300 years of St. Augustine history," Croce explained.
The two-acre museum with 25 buildings covers both Spanish and British colonial times in St. Augustine.
In the Spanish periods, there's a watch tower with a great view of the city, St. Augustine inlet and the lighthouse.
There is agunsmith, a leathershop and a tavern with a restaurant.
In the British area, there's a print shop with a printing press, aBritish pub or public house.
"If you have a British St. Augustine, you have to have a pub," Croce said.
It also serves food.
There's a stage for the Colonial Review -- a show still in the works,a ship that's under construction, andthere are re-enactorsnearly around every corner.
"All of the re-enactors, all of the artisans are in first person,"Croce explained. "That's the beauty of it."
The two-acre museum that sits in the shadow of the fortis owned by the state.
The City of St. Augustine ran it for years, then the labor intensive museumfailed financially.
Croce said, "It didn't work. They loved it, but it didn't work."
The city just didn't have the money to keep it going.
So Croce -- the former owner of the Philadelphia 76ers -- who opened the St. Augustine Pirate and Treasure museum next door, applied torenovate and run Colonial Quarter.
Headmitted to putting$3 million dollars of his own money into the project.
"Why am I excited? It's taken years to do this! Do you know how many people have put blood, sweat and my money into doing this! It's fabulous," he laughed.
The museum now has 71 employees. That's more than three times the workforce compared to when the city was running it, according to city numbers.
A portion of the revenue will go to the University of Florida, according to Kari Cobham, who works for Croce.
School groups are alreadytaking tours along with visitors. They're gettinga lookat a museum that is dear the people of St. Augustine.
As Croce looked at a school group interacting with a re-enactor, he said, "I love this because I'm a kid at heart and here I have the opportunity to watch kids and adults make memories."

|ESPN.com: NHL Hall of Fame 2007
|[Print without images]
AP Photo/Bob Jordan
By Scott BurnsideFor the first six months after Ron Francis decided 1,731 regular-season games and 1,798 regular-season points were finally enough, he spent his time fretting about what he was going to do next. He wondered about his hobbies and his interests and his future. Finally, his wife, Mary Lou, asked him, "What are you doing to yourself?" Then, and only then, Francis did what he wanted to do to begin with -- get away. "For the first six months, I probably drove myself crazy and my family crazy," Francis said in a recent interview with ESPN.com. "I think you run through all the things both in the game and away from the game that you might do. "During that first six months, I was spending so much time thinking about that, I forgot that my goal was really to take a year and get away," Francis added. "And I ended up doing that." So, Francis really retired, played some golf, traveled, helped coach one of his two sons' hockey teams, watched his 16-year-old daughter Kaitlyn play volleyball and helped coach her softball team. Then, before last season, two years and four months after Francis last played an NHL game, Carolina GM Jim Rutherford called and asked whether he wanted back in. "That's what drove me back to work -- my golf game was so bad," Francis joked. There were options, as there always will be for a player who played more games than any other NHLers except of Gordie Howe and Mark Messier and whose 1,249 assists are second only to Wayne Gretzky. Francis could work with local businesses as a kind of team ambassador or he could get closer to the action and step into a role in player development. "That was way more interesting to me," Francis said. After spending time at training camp a year ago and helping out with the Hurricanes' power play, Francis formally accepted the title of director of player personnel. This fall, when assistant GM Jason Karmanos abruptly left the team, Rutherford asked Francis whether he'd be interested in accelerating his management career track. He was. "This came out of the blue," Francis said. "I'm really excited. I wasn't really planning on being here at this point." Does Francis, who had such confidence and poise for 23 NHL seasons as a player, worry that he might not be able to do the job? That he might not have the right stuff? Francis asked himself, and Rutherford, those questions, specifically whether Rutherford thought he was ready. "He felt comfortable in that regard," Francis said. For many players, the issue of whether they retired too early, or not early enough, haunts them long after they retire. Not so with Francis. "I kind of knew in my heart. I knew that was it," said Francis of his final season, which saw him traded to Toronto at the 2004 trade deadline. After the lockout, he never had that nagging twitch when he walked into the RBC Center. "There was none of that, 'Darn, maybe I should still be out there. I can still play' feeling," Francis said. If there is a challenge for elite players such as Francis, fellow inductee Al MacInnis, Luc Robitaille and Steve Yzerman, all of whom have taken management roles in recent years, there is an equal challenge for the teams that take them on. What if the players don't work out? What if they can't do the job? Imagine the public relations nightmare of having to fire or squeeze out an Yzerman in Detroit or a Francis in Carolina? Luckily, that is a problem that exists only in the theoretical for Rutherford and the Hurricanes. "The public perception of this is never good. But you'd have to do it [make a change]," Rutherford said in a recent interview. "You don't totally know until that former player takes that step [whether it's going to work out]. These jobs are not easy. They're hard work." Rutherford said he was pleased Francis took time to separate himself from the game. "You approach things differently when you move into the front office," said Rutherford, who played 13 NHL seasons as a netminder. "It's not just about getting the job. It's about how you approach it and what you want to do with it." Rutherford showed Francis a list of prospects, from the top end to the low end. Then, he told Francis he wanted him to monitor their progress, step in if they looked as if they were faltering, talk to them, take them to dinner and generally make them better players. Then, Rutherford said to Francis; "I'd like you to tell me how you're going to approach this." So, Francis drew up a schedule, showing how he was going to get to the prospects. "And he did it. He didn't stray from what he set out to do," Rutherford said. Francis saw some of the kids seven or eight times. Rutherford recalled one meeting in which Francis was discussing a young player, Noah Babin, who hails from the hockey hotbed of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Finally, Rutherford asked whether the Hurricanes should sign him. "And he said, 'Yes, I recommend it,'" Rutherford recalled. "But Ronnie was nervous about it. He didn't do it just to do it." As a player, Francis was used to seeing only the end product of all the work that goes into drafting and developing a player. You show up at the rink, and there's another fresh-faced kid sitting in the room. How hard could it be? But in talking with scouts, including director of pro scouting Marshall Johnston, Francis got a bird's-eye view not just of the development end of things but also of how it is intrinsically tied to the business end of building a team. Even the physical element of what scouts do -- traveling great distances, often through harsh weather, dealing with flight cancellations and delays -- made Francis appreciate what his colleagues had been doing in anonymity for years. "It was a real eye-opener," he said. Francis was among the first of his generation to chart this path. Last season, he ran into Yzerman on the road. They chatted a bit, old Central Division foes whose teams often went toe to toe in the playoffs, whose careers crisscrossed a hundred times, maybe more. "From my standpoint, I think it's great," Francis said of the trend of great players moving into management roles. "I think it's great for the game that you have guys that want to stay in the game." Francis's determination hasn't just landed him a job, it also has changed how Rutherford approaches development. Because Francis was so diligent in his first assignment before becoming assistant GM, Rutherford hired former netminder Tom Barrasso to work with his young goaltenders in the same way. "This has really opened my eyes to doing more in development," Rutherford said. Learning the ropes isn't necessarily the biggest challenge for people like Francis who are looking at turning Hockey Hall of Fame careers into something else in the hockey world; the issue is more the desire to learn the ropes. Francis said it's something you can't take lightly, so he and his wife sat down and talked before he decided to take the personnel job. "This is not just a, 'Oh, let's do it for a year.' This is obviously a serious commitment," Francis said. "We'll see where it takes me." Scott Burnside is the NHL writer for ESPN.com.

Clemson computer science stands out for diversity
Of 56 tenure-track black professors in the field nationwide, six of them are here
CLEMSON - In his three years at Clemson University, Juan Gilbert has made a measurable difference to his department — in more ways than one.
He and his colleagues in the Human-Centered Computing Division have more than doubled the amount of research funding that the School of Computing has received.
But Gilbert has also led recruiting of black tenure-track professors on the campus — bringing five men and women from institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgia Tech, Michigan and Notre Dame.
"I recruited these people," Gilbert said. "They saw what we were doing."
Including Gilbert, Clemson has six black computer science professors — about 10 percent of the 56 professors in this field nationwide.
"If you look at what we are doing at Clemson, we are looking to find a different demographic that hasn't traditionally participated in computing," said Gilbert, who came to Clemson from Auburn.
Gilbert said his center's efforts are contributing to innovation by drawing in people with completely new ideas and backgrounds while also contributing to workforce development.
"It's fascinating watching this happen," Gilbert said. "The main thing is to communicate this is a national benefit. We need citizens, and we need to broaden our participation beyond the traditional white male. We are taking it seriously."
Gilbert said Clemson is making real inroads in the nation's shortage of qualified minority students entering and completing computer science graduate programs.
Leon Wiles, chief diversity officer at Clemson, called Gilbert's achievements "outstanding."
"We're ecstatic about the progress Dr. Gilbert's program has made and excited to see diversity spread throughout other programs at Clemson as well," Wiles said in a statement from the university.
The U.S. Department of Education reported that only 5.4 percent of full-time faculty members at degree-granting institutions in 2009 were African-American.
Gilbert's research has specialized in the interaction of people with their electronic devices and ways to make them more intuitive and accessible to all.
Most recently, his division was chosen to lead a $4.5 million multiyear project from the federal Election Assistance Commission to explore easier-to-use voting machines.
The pressure is on academic departments across the country to find more external funding, even as state support declines everywhere. Gilbert said his homegrown talent pool has certain advantages in this area.
"There are certain programs and things we can apply for that require U.S. citizenship," Gilbert said.
Gilbert actively recruits minority graduate students at top academic institutions and seeks out a variety of backgrounds.
Because he is looking for new ideas in human-technology interactions, he said, he keeps an open mind about students' academic pedigrees — and has a track of computer-science courses available for them to catch up if necessary.
A Ph.D. candidate he recruited last year from MIT for instance, has a master's degree in chemistry and spent the past two semesters taking computer science courses.
Research shows that minorities and females have tended not to go into science, technology and mathematics so much as professions that have a clearer societal effect, such as education, health and law, Gilbert said.
"How have we been successful?" Gilbert said. "We show people how we can use technology to benefit society."
Gilbert received the National Center for Women and Informational Technology's 2012 undergraduate research mentoring award for faculty who encourage and advance student achievement. These youngest students are just recently learning about his center's efforts, Gilbert said.
"We are at a point where we really are making a difference," he said.

George Boothman, Install Manager - Calgary
Say hello
"I was at home for part of the day today because my kids are in a little morning camp this week and I had a chance to look at the closets. I haven't transferred anything to the master bedroom closet yet as I didn't have time, but it looks really good. Also, I am really pleased with the minor adjustments we did to the kids' closets and even more pleased with the minor cost. It turned the closets into just what I wanted for them. I managed to get theirs mostly done and the extra hanging room gave me just what I needed for them.
Most importantly, George, I wanted to thank you for your great service. I think I am getting a bit cranky as I grow older but I often feel that businesses in the customer service business aren't really all that interested in customer service. You, contrary to my jaded view, were incredibly helpful and prompt and I especially appreciated you suggesting a very cost-effective solution to my kids' closets. I still have your clothing rack at home and might need a few days to get my closet sorted out. I will let you know when it can be picked up. Thanks again for all your help. "
"It is clear why California Closets has the strong reputation they do. Our
Your installer showed up at 8:15 am & was done by 10 am. The work was much quieter than I expected.
"The whole experience was perfect - the process was fairly quick, the plan that George and I came up with is working beautifully,
We absolutely love the closets. The boys were so excited about the cubbies and the hooks.

Every customer is different and every space that I design for them is unique. I take the time to discover what their vision is and then design accordingly.
Prior to joining the California Closets team in 2006, I was a professional house painter, doing estimating and colour consultations. It's a great feeling to know that every time I design a new space it will be life changing for the customer. Our storage solutions bring organization, peace of mind, and simplicity to people's lives.
I like the wide array of accessories we carry. Items such as belt and tie racks, jewelry drawers, and laundry bags make our systems unique. The combinations are endless.
There is a solution for every problem and I am dedicated to helping you find a home for every item in your house.

Control freaks have a terrible life and make life terrible for those they live with, marry or work with. Women, Men and supervisors and even children have control freak problems that seem to be difficult to cure, but are curable. If you are married to one and try to leave you may end up dead if you don't know how to treat/change their thinking. Many control freaks end up in prison.
First here is why you have so many relationship problems and then I will explain how to solve them.
Dealing With Control Freaks
by Thomas J. Schumacher, Psy.D., R-CSW
Most all of you have had to contend with control freaks. These are those people who insist on having their way in all interactions with you. They wish to set the agenda and decide what it is you will do and when you will do it. You know who they are – they have a driving need to run the show and call the shots. Lurking within the fabric of the conversation is the clear threat that if you do not accede to their needs and demands, they will be unhappy.
Certainly, it's natural to want to be in control of your life. But when you have to be in control of the people around you as well, when you literally can't rest until you get your way … you have a personality disorder. While it's not a diagnostic category found in the DSM IV (the therapist's bible for diagnostic purposes) an exaggerated emphasis on control is part of a cluster of behaviors that can be labeled as compulsive generally characterized by perfectionism, orderliness, workaholic tendencies, an inability to make commitments or to trust others and a fear of having their flaws exposed. Deep down, these people are terrified of being vulnerable. They believe they can protect themselves by staying in control of every aspect of their lives, including their relationships. Control freaks take the need and urge to control to new heights, causing others stress so they can maintain a sense of order. These people are riddled with anxiety, fear, insecurity, and anger. They're very critical of themselves their lover and their friends, but underneath that perfect outfit and great body is a mountain of unhappiness. Let's look at what makes control freaks tick, what makes you want to explode, and some ways to deal with them.
The Psychological Dynamics That Fuel a Control Freak
The need to control is almost always fueled by anxiety – though control freaks seldom recognize their fears. At work, they may worry about failure. In relationships, they may worry about not having their needs met. To keep this anxiety from overwhelming them, they try to control the people or things around them. They have a hard time with negotiation and compromise and they can't stand imperfection. Needless to say, they are difficult to live with, work with and/or socialize with.
Bottom Line: In the process of being controlling, their actions say, "You're incompetent" and "I can't trust you." (this is why you hate them). Remember, the essential need of a control freak is to defend against anxiety. Although it may not be apparent to you when they are making their demands, these individuals are attempting to cope with fairly substantial levels of their own anxiety. The control freak is usually fighting off a deep-seated sense of their own helplessness and impotence. By becoming proficient at trying to control other people, they are warding off their own fear of being out of control and helpless. Controlling is an anxiety management tool.
Unfortunately for you, the control freak has a lot at stake in prevailing. While trying to hold a conversation and engage them in some way, their emotional stakes involve their own identity and sense of well-being. Being in control gives them the temporary illusion and sense of calmness. When they feel they are prevailing, you can just about sense the tension oozing out of them. The control freak is very frightened. Part of their strategy is to induce that fear in you with the subtle or not so subtle threat of loss. Since the emotional stakes are so high for them, they need to assert themselves with you to not feel so helpless. To relinquish control is tantamount to being victimized and overwhelmed. When a control freak cannot control, they go through a series of rapid phases. First they become angry and agitated, then they become panicky and apprehensive, then they become agitated and threatening, and then they lapse into depression and despair.
Repetition Compulsion
Control freaks are also caught in the grip of a repetition compulsion. They repeat the same pattern again and again in their attempt to master their anxiety and cope with the trauma they feel. Characteristically, the repetition compulsion takes on a life of its own. Rather than feel calmer and therefore have a diminished need to be controlling, their behavior locks them into the same pattern in an insatiable way. Successes at controlling do not register on their internal scoreboard. They have to fight off the same threat again and again with increasing rigidity and intransigence.
Two Types of Control Freaks
Type 1 Control Freaks: The Type 1 control freak is strictly attempting to cope with their anxiety in a self absorbed way. They just want to feel better and are not even very aware of you. You will notice and hear their agitation and tentativeness. They usually do not make much eye contact when they are talking to you.
Type 2 Control Freaks: The Type 2 control freak is also trying to manage their anxiety but they are very aware of you as opposed to the Type 1 control freak. The Type 2 needs to diminish you to feel better. Their mood rises as they push you down. They do not just want to prevail; they also need to believe that they have defeated you. They need you to feel helpless so they will not feel helpless. Their belief is that someone must feel helpless in any interchange and they desperately need to control you.
Some Coping Strategies
1) Stay as calm as you can. Control freaks tend to generate a lot of tension in those around them. Try to maintain a comfortable distance so that you can remain centered while you speak with them. Try to focus on your breathing. As they get more agitated and demanding, just breath slowly and deeply. If you stay calm and focused, this often has the effect of relaxing them as well. If you get agitated you have joined the battle on their terms.
2) Speak very slowly. Again the normal tendency is to gear up and speak rapidly when dealing with a control freak. This will only draw you into the emotional turmoil and you will quickly be personalizing what is occurring.
3) Be very patient. Control freaks need to feel heard. In fact, they do not have that much to say. They have a lot to say if you engage them in a power struggle. If you just listen carefully and ask good questions that indicate that you have heard them, then they will quickly resolve whatever the issue is and calmly move on.
4) Pay attention to your induced reactions. What is this person trying to emotionally induce in you? Notice how you feel when speaking with them. It will give you important clues as to how to deal with them more effectively and appropriately.
5) Initially, let them control the agenda. But you control the pacing. If you stay calm and speak slowly, you will be in command of the pacing of the conversation.
6) Treat them with kindness. Within most control freaks is a good measure of paranoia. They are ready to get angry and defend against what they perceive is a controlling hostile world. If you treat them with respect and kindness, their paranoia cannot take root. You will jam them up.
7) Make demands on them-- especially when dealing with the type 2 control freak. Ask them to send you something or do something for you. By asking something of them, you will be indicating that you are not intimidated or diminished by their behavior patterns.
8) Remember an old but poignant Maxim: "Those who demand the most often give the least."
Keep in mind that control freaks are not trying to hurt you – they're trying to protect themselves. Remind yourself that their behavior toward you isn't personal; the compulsion was there before they met you, and it will be their forever unless they get help. Understand that they are skilled manipulators, artful and intimidating, rehearsed debaters and excellent at distorting reality.
In order to not feel degraded, humiliated and have your sense of self and self worth assaulted, you need to avoid being bulldozed by a controlling lover, boss or friend. When you are caught up in a truly destructive/controlling attachment, the best response may be to walk out. You have to understand that whatever you do will have a limited effect. These people are angry and afraid to let go of you. Hence, it is your job to let go of them, protect yourself in the process… and grow.
My Comments:
I got on the internet and found a lot more on this mental problem that causes so many divorces and so much unhappiness. Read on, it's in this report
If you know someone who is a control freak give them a copy of this report.
I had a plant superintendent who was a control freak, a monster. In a few weeks of arriving at the plant I worked in: he demoted 3 general foremen and treated me like shit.
I cured him. I wrote down my feeling on what he was doing. I called a meeting with just him and me where I told him how harmful his scolding and degrading was. I told him he was doing was strictly for his extremely pleasurable adrenalin highs. I gave Him a copy. I told him if he wasn't satisfied with my engineering he could give a copy to my boss. I would willingly move to some other manufacturing plant area.
He gave me back a copy the day he retired saying he had read it many times and he was sure it made things for him and others much better. I noticed he definitely changed for the better at meetings and after leaving our area.
A friend has had serious relationship problems with women and even his son.
He told me of a wonderful, intelligent, rich, kind woman he had met at the Cultural Center and that he had been dating daily for over 3 weeks. They had gotten very close in fact they had gone to bed for wonderful sex. He was extremely happy.
I watched Dr Phil on television and what he said about control freaks fit my friend's problems exactly. Dr Phil is on TV every week day at 5 o'clock. He is good. He explained that there is a way of getting over the relationship problems you're having that can lead a life with much happiness for you and others.
Three days later I gave him the following letter, hoping it would keep him from screwing up again, so he/her could stay happy,
I was too late. I found he had blown up on her, scolded her severely and the relation was over. He had said he would pay for all the meals while dating.
He said "she wanted to have me go some place and I blew my top; I'm too old change and go along with that crap." He took what I gave him not expecting what I had written.
He later stopped by and I gave him and ear full and he told me the real reason "She didn't even offer to pay for some of the gasoline." I asked, "Had you asked her to pay for gas." He said No! I replied "how was she to know you wanted her to pay for some of the gas. Instead of really communicating with her you opted for an adrenalin high by blowing up.
He thanked me and said he may try getting back with her, as she has called about every other day sense they broke up.
Well today he came for a visit and to get airline tickets to visit her where she live in the summer in Toronto. He got back with her and they went out for dinner etc. They are very happy and he has talked to her children who called him. He thanked me very much for the information I had given him. I gave him another ear full on why he couldn't ever afford to blow up again.
Thought you might enjoy reading some of what I gave him.
I feel you and I get along very well. You seem to have told me things you haven't told others. You don't seem to have many close friends and your relationship with some people isn't good, in fact I would have to say it is very bad.
Your first wife left you, taking $100,000 with her and she went to your sons and later died. Millie's relation kicked you out of the hospital, when she was dying even though you had lived with her for 9 years. You didn't find out that she had died until days after the funeral. Your son and you do not get along and you've cut him out of your will. You severely scolded Millie's friend who came to visit you and she left in a huff. You scolded and slammed the door in the face of Joyce, our very charming, warm lady friend.
Your problem is you feel you must be in control. It is hard to get over these feeling and just let go. That is what you must do to have a good long lasting wonderful relationship.
It is very hard to do if you have always felt wonderful adrenalin highs from demanding control of others through scolding, and degrading.
The first thing you should understand is that you are not going to get out of this world alive and as Ben Franklin said if you don't want to be forgot before you rot either be some one great or have someone write something about you. You are not going to have either happen to you so cool it. Live and let live.
I let things I don't agree on ride often and have wonderful relationships. My wife and I don't always agree but that does not upset me or her. She is a devout Catholic and I am a devout Atheist. We discuss religious issues often and openly but never demanding. She buys chili powder in little packages even though we have a big plastic bottle full of it. I kindly mentioned this wastes money. She says she likes it her way so it is not worth fighting about.
I find there is a hell of a lot of things not worth fighting about, scolding about or getting upset about. Before you do any of scolding, think of the harm it can do to your relationship, ask your self is it worth it ? This will hopefully cause you to let a lot of things ride.
My first wife, her brother and mother were somewhat control freaks. Her father, other brother and sister were the opposite. It could be genetic but that is no excuse for letting it continue destroying your relationships and happiness. Every so often I would tell my first wife that her scolding, complaining was taking the fun out of life and then she would stop it for a few weeks. So I know control freaks can control themselves
One article said:
· Getting over being a control freak is a lot like the twelve step program you first have to accept that you are a control freak and it is harming you a whole lot of others.
· Accept that it's you, not them that are harming relationships. You have had far too many failed relationships for it to be them. You have scolded and tried to be to controlling and it has made life miserable.
· You have harmed others and should make amends to Joyce our friend to, Millie's friend, to your son etc. Write them a letter, or call but just do something in the way to let them know you as a control freak hopefully won't do it again.
· That there is a hell of a lot of things not worth getting upset about or trying to control.
· Know you can be flexible without having problems and that this will help you survive much better.
· Being a control freak isn't about doing what is right; it is about doing things out of fear and insecurity.
· Praise yourself when you don't blow up and still have a friend that you would have lost by the way you had always acted.
Here are some other articles
Need for control has its roots in insecurity. Confident people think the world is humming along smoothly enough and they can take care of their personal slice of the pie. That'd be enough to keep themselves happy, so why not let everyone else go about their business? It's the insecure people that fear the future. They fear that others are coming to get them, or are destroying the environment, or are decaying the moral fabric of society. Those other folks need to be stopped. Their decisions aren't as wise as your decisions would be. You need control over them. You need to tell them what to do or they'll screw it up. You need to regulate them via money, or force, or suspension of their freedoms, or guilt… or of the threat of any of those things. Fear is the motivation behind grabbing control, and fear is the primary means towards keeping control. The reward is wonderful adrenalin rush followed by a loss of an easy going relationship.
Control Freak is what Doctor Phil Called the problem.
By Dr. Les Parrott
One of the most common complaints I receive when discussing relationship problems is that one of the partners has a controlling personality. A controlling person has a tremendous need to be in charge, set the agenda, and dictate opinions. In the past terms like "bossy" were used in a lighthearted manner to refer to the domineering personalities we all encounter. But if you've ever been in a relationship with someone who qualifies as a true Control Freak, you know there is nothing amusing about it.
A confirmed control freak is not interested in true discussion. It's as if they have all the truth, and anyone who disagrees with them is wrong. They feel no need to examine both sides of any issue and their mind is made up before they even hear that there is another side to an issue. They circle the wagons to protect their opinions and deny even an effort at clarification, balance, and understanding, to say nothing of building community with people who do not see things exactly as they do.
These people can have a lot of trouble getting their romantic relationships off the ground, because their thinking is too restricted, their minds too closed, for any future relationship dialogue. Ultimately, this causes them to close their hearts to people who would make a loving partner.
Bob, for example, was a 45-year old man who wanted to find a long-term relationship. He joined eharmony.com, an online relationship matching service and was matched with Julie, a woman who met most of his preferences-she was 39, wanted to have children, shared his religious denomination, and lived a short distance from him.
Most importantly, Julie liked Bob and soon was sending him several messages a day. But then, one day, they reached an impasse-though they were both committed Christians, Julie felt that women should be allowed to become ministers, but Bob disagreed. Though neither was headed for the clergy, and this was only a theoretical disagreement, Bob couldn't let it go. Refusing to see her side of the issue or even allow her to have a different opinion, he badgered her again and again about this one issue, telling her why she was wrong and letting it take up most of the messages he was sending her.
Angered by her "inability" to see his way of thinking, he eventually ceased communicating altogether. Rather than concentrate on all the remarkable similarities in their personalities and values, as well as his good fortune in finding someone who truly accepted and liked him, he let one small issue cheat him out of a wonderful relationship.
At the root of all controlling behavior is an attempt to tame our anxiety-not to dominate another person. That's why control is so tempting.
It is intensely seductive. Control tickles our psyches with a sense of peace and calm. It provides us with a delicious taste of power over everything that seems beyond real control, namely time and other people. As a result, many of us end up fighting simply to achieve that powerful control.
For the dating control freak, compromise in order to have a good time with the person we are dating just doesn't seem as gratifying as an out-and-out victory, and that makes it easy to forget that our conversational triumph represents the defeat of something more important-communication, empathy, and the kindling of love.
Living with a control freak can be very dangerous. I could give a very long list of control freaks who have murdered or ended up in prison for other reasons related to their controlling. Most married control freaks I know ended up divorced.
Do give this to anyone you think needs to understand why they are control freaks so they can hopefully get over it.

By mike 1006 days ago on News from www.mmorpg.com Discuss Favorite It seems a source has revealed to MMORPG.com that City of Heroes was indeed profitable, costing about $4 million per year to run and earning about $12 million. The source who asked to remain anonymous wanted to make sure the truth was told about the real reason the game was shut down. It seems that reason was the game was not profitable enough for NCsoft to devote time and resources to and CoH was the "weak link" in their lineup. City of Heroes 84 Reviews

October 10, 2015
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A teenager told a 911 operator that he didn't know who was responsible for the New Year's Day shooting deaths of his foster mother and her mother-in-law in their White Bluff home.
According to the tape released Monday, 15-year-old Jeffery Byrd Johnson Jr. calmly told the operator that someone was in the home. Johnson and 17-year-old James Earl Garrett are charged with first-degree murder in the slayings that occurred in the small town about 30 miles west of Nashville.
The teens were living in a foster home belonging to Mary Clark at the time. Clark and her mother-in-law, Gail Clark, were found shot to death in the house.
The teens are in custody awaiting a hearing on Feb. 18.

The clock is ticking. The industry is just a few weeks away from implementing ICD-10 – but with expectations of increased denials, many providers are still anxious about the impact ICD-10 will have on their bottom line. Learn how you can use the remaining time to better manage your practice's denials, before the clock runs out.
The industry is buzzing as the transition to ICD-10 draws near and for those who have been procrastinating, it's time to take action. With the impending inconvenience lying ahead, we wonder, why bother switching? While ICD-10 does bring some challenges, the benefits are plentiful.
Are you going to the 2015 MGMA Annual Conference?
Stop by Booth 1605 and see us!
How you handle denied claims directly impacts the financial health of your practice. A strong denials management process will minimize lost revenue, but a weak strategy will leave your practice inefficient and vulnerable. In this recorded session, national healthcare consultant Dr. Deborah Walker Keegan shares best practices in claim denial prevention and management.
ICD-10 implementation is barreling down the road and practices that aren't ready won't be able to submit claims and get paid for services. With less than two weeks until implementation, this free recorded webinar from TriZetto Provider Solutions® outlines specific strategies for the well prepared and the not so well prepared. Coding expert, Betsy Nicoletti, educates attendees on techniques such as mapping versus searching, specificity and search functions.
The healthcare industry is changing rapidly; as regulation increases, reimbursement will likely decrease. Listen to this free recorded webinar to learn how you can stay ahead of the changes and remain focused on what matters most—your patients.
We help physicians, hospitals and health systems simplify business processes and get accurate payments quickly. We will always look for new ways to help you improve revenue and increase cash flow.

An electrically uncharged object is neutral.
Conduction is not a method of charging an object.
If electric charged stay in one spot, they are said to be static. In charging by induction, when a negatively charged rod is brought near a metal leaf electroscope the electrons in the electroscope move away from the rod. A statement that is not part of the Law of Electric Charges is that neutral objects are attracted to uncharged objects. The purpose of a GFCI is to protect people from getting electrocuted. True: Lightning can travel from cloud to cloud. Secondary cells can be recharged. A long wire has a higher resistance than a short wire. False: Cells connected in parallel will make a bulb burn brighter. A voltmeter measures the electric current. Many electrical appliances are over 100% efficient. The difference between a conductor and resistor is that a conductor is a material that lets electrons move freely from atom to atom, while a resistor does not let electrons move freely. Four safety concerns when doing a lab are:
-always read labels on chemicals very carefully
-when doing experiments, follow directions given in the textbook, or given by Ms Bell -make sure caps on bottles are closed tightly to prevent spilling and evaporations -don't pour chemicals into the sink unless you know it's safe and you have the teacher's permission Two types of observations are quantitative (numerical observations) and qualitative (observation including your senses). Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. Density is the amount of matter per unit of volume. Malleability-can be hammered into sheets (aluminum is malleable, glass is brittle) Ductility-can be drawn into wires (copper is ductile)
Viscosity- how easily a liquid flows (ketchup is very viscous, and water is not viscous) Boiling Point-when substances vaporize (at or above 100C)
Lustre-shiny or dull
Taste-sweet, sour, salty, bitter,...

One of my favourite podcasts is the 'Amateur Traveler' podcast which is hosted Chris Christensen, somebody I know through travel blogging. Each week on the show he interviews people who are experts on destinations so when I had the chance to appear on the blog to speak about Dublin last December I jumped at the chance.
Listen to the podcast here >>
(Download the podcast here on AmateurTraveler.com)
In the interview I spoke about some of Dublin's best attractions, its history and, of course, its pubs. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

The 94-Year-Old Frenchman Behind 'Occupy'
Stephane Fredric Hessel's best-selling brochure helped launch the movement.
December 4, 2011 - 12:01 am
A little more than 13 months ago, a left-wing French publishing house specializing in Third World advocacy published a very short (32 pages) and very cheap (three euros) political brochure titled Indignez-vous! (Time for Outrage!).
The author was nonagenarian Stephane Frederic Hessel: a Nazi camp survivor, a former ambassador, and a regular French talk show guest. The booklet was an instant bestseller: one million copies in the first ten weeks, 1.5 million in the first year.
It still remains, as of today, the number one book on French bestseller lists.
The reasons for such a stunning success were quite obvious. Those people who read a bit, but not much, were thrilled to buy what passed for a serious essay by an important person for less than the price of a magazine. They were even happier to find out that Hessel's philosophy was a perfect fit for their own intellectual and ethical size.
The Great Old Man urged contemporary youth to get "outraged" about poverty and injustice and to fight for a better world, just as he had done seventy years earlier as a member of the anti-Nazi Resistance. Who on Earth would contend with that, especially when the enemy was not the Third Reich, but benign modern democracies?
Moreover, the villain Hessel repeatedly mentioned and attacked was Israel — the country most people in France love to hate already.
Hessel's booklet was almost as successful worldwide as in France proper. It was quickly translated and published in ten European languages and in Hebrew; overall sales hit 3.5 million copies. Translations were then produced in ten more languages.
The only exception in terms of popularity was the U.S.: the pamphlet was just inserted in The Nation's April 7-14 issue. Practical Americans, even of the liberal persuasion, apparently had trouble selling it or buying it as a book.
Hessel's influence on the ground grew to dwarf his sales accomplishments.
"Outraged" movements claiming to follow the old Frenchman's philosophy bloomed in countries hit by recession or bankruptcy, like Spain, Greece, the UK, Chile, and more recently the United States. Strangely enough, even Israel — in spite of its comparatively good economic and financial shape and Hessel's rabid anti-Zionism — was hit by the movement last summer.
All "outraged" movements tended to follow a single pattern. Citizens with no explicit political affiliation "occupied" major streets, squares, or public spaces for days or weeks, day and night, insisting upon "social justice" or "change." They erected little booths and tent villages, both in order to sleep there and to make it more difficult to be moved out or blocked by police the following day.
Most democratic governments were reluctant to suppress such behavior, even if they were legally entitled to do so. In some countries, like Spain, there might even have been a not-too-secret understanding between the left-wing cabinet poised to lose the coming election and the demonstrators, who disclaimed in advance whatever measures a future conservative cabinet would take. (Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's socialists lost to Mariano Rajoy's conservatives on November 20.)
Clearly, the so-called Arab Spring was connected to Hessel's "outraged" campaign. The demonstrations and sit-ins that led to the eviction of both Zine el-Abidine Ben-Ali in Tunisia and Hosni Mubarak in Egypt were modeled after Spain's Indignados operations. This factor might not have been decisive by itself, but it did deter Western powers from extending support to leaders who were previously their local allies.
The much more complex Libyan, Yemenite, Bahraini, and Syrian upheavals started as replicas of the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions. There was evidence of direct contacts between Arab insurgents and Western "outraged" groups or Western NGOs close to the global "outraged" movement.
As for the Israeli replica, it was launched in part by left-wing activists close to similar American and/or European NGOs, and was designed at some point as a tool to topple the Netanyahu cabinet. It didn't work out that way: the core of the local "outraged" Israelis were just democratically minded patriots complaining about supposed negative byproducts of a two-decade economic boom, like the rise of real estate prices in cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Hessel may not have been the real thinker and promoter of his movement.
At 93 (last year) and 94 (now), he seems to enjoy excellent health and clarity of thought. He may indeed have written the few pages that turned him into an instant world icon. However, the pages were more likely provided by a ghostwriter. A convincing argument, in this respect, is that Time for Outrage! is a "party line" operation. It is less about Hessel expressing his views than about others setting an agenda and Hessel endorsing it.

Tension, Compression, Suspension, Resistance = STABILITY
Hi Ilio, thanks for the request. For those not aware of your position as a Haitian Times columnist, I encourage them all to read your recent blog posts.
This group as a whole has not been a concerted team project like the Confined Masonry Tool group, or even as a unified source of publications as with Patti Stouter's Haitian natural building guidelines, but as such we've been able to provide more candid critiques of various proposed building methods as well as the political pitfalls of the rebuilding effort.
I do encourage some of our individuals who have been active in the rebuilding effort in Haiti to respond to you with their own progress, including perhaps Jip Nelissen's work in sustainable materials with vernacular techniques, Bruce Christensen & Scotty with Cement Trust, Steve Michel with Al Sem's Rebuild Haiti Better, Craig Totten & Cat Laine with the KPFF/AIDG masonry workshops, among others. This goup has served primarily as a cross-pollination of the designs and experience of such efforts, as well as commentary from those working in Haiti.
RADVA CORPORATION is the Corporate home of the past and future inventor/producer of the SIM Panel, which has been variously marketed as WallFRAME, ThermaSTRUCTURE, ThermaSTEEL and ThermaGREEN. (At one time WallFRAME was soley owned by ARCO Corp, but they, like many others, sold the works back to RADVA with the complaint "we don't know how to market this stuff!"
RADVA is the core company of Luther Dickens, and produces packaging for electronics, pharmacuticals and optics. (It is an acronym for Radford, VA.) Luther invented and patented the SIM panel in 1975. The basis of the invention is that it creates a small steel column every 18 inches and a large steel column every four feet. Its EPS "wattle & daub" not only fills the space between the columns but creates the core of the composite columns themselves. The light gauge steel alone makes a lousy column. As does a column of EPS behind it. But bonded together....en'composite...AMAZING strength. The foam core basically holding ribbon-metal at thousands of points per foot, thus maximizing L/R (slenderness-ratio) When a SIM panel fails, it merely refuses to take more load, which is reported by a "ping" and a "V" buckle in one of the eight column-walls. To take advantage of this impressive resistance to buckling, all SIMPLEs utlilize pre- and post-tensioning to compress their elements. (just as ligaments and muscles hold the spinal chord elements in alignment.) So a big "yes" to the "lighter weight framing members" IF they can sustain large compressive forces without buckling. ShelterONE uses either Bamboo or plastic water piping in tension, with SIM panels providing resistance. Every dancer knows that structure is not about resistence alone, but the dynamics of tension, compression, resistance and suspension.
Check out the work of LeRicolais and Komendant at U of Penn in the mid-sixties. (the first, a steel master, and the second a concrete genius)
@Alan, that was awhile back - what is Radva Corporation? I never got many takers with my vernacular discussions. I've done some limited tests with old fiberglass fishing poles and bamboo as the vertical members - both work well and in combination, very well. I've tried to get folks that work in carbon composites interested but no takers.
@Greg, I've worked around post-tensioned concrete and post-tensioned metal building frames (turnbuckles), It seems to me that if designed right, using sandwiched, steel reinforced, flitch beams welded or bolted to steel columns and a diagonal post-tensioned grade beam foundation, with the cables passing through the columns which would tie all together and cause the entire structure to be in compression - lighter weight framing members would be needed and the walls would all be non-load bearing. Thoughts?
@everyone, George just posted a great photo of a gabion building in Bavaria to his gabion discussion in this group - check it out.
Apologies, Derek for my previous misquote, but still, IS it selfish to design now with "primarily future reform in mind" or is it selfish to design now without incorporating
reforming-components in our
designing that go beyond better-building-codes for the same old stuff?
When IS "yet" and when does Architecture (architecture with a small "a"
was called Shelter Engineering by a famous Columbia U. Historian...and noble in its own right) become
part of the "primary" focus?
When a Doctor Without Borders goes to Haiti to treat cholera, must he stick to his traditional doctor's kit, or might he teach those
threatened the public health reforms necessary to stem the epidemic?
When SHOULD that start?
The issue is not whether landlessness SHOULD be, or WILL be, the living-environment in Haiti, but that it IS. As a designer, I am ever
aware that my designs are ephemeral and MUST change with the context.
And the context in Haiti today is not what it was a year ago, or what it
will be a year from now. I am often asked why, in ShelterONE, did I
replace SIM panel roofs with Blue Tarps for initial distribution. I
answer that I am responding to resources on-hand. The trees? Gone. Blue
Tarps? As far as the eye can see. What IS wrong with this picture?
The Blue Tarps are being held up by what is left of the trees! Above all, I remain a pragmatist. I have built dozens of houses of all sizes
with SIM panels at half the going prices of the Legacy Builders here in
VA, so I have nothing left to prove locally. Knowing that the emergency
tents delivered to Haiti so far cost over $1000 each, with a lifespan of
less than a year, I know that a $750 ShelterONE, that is permanent
equity to the recipient, is a better deal. But no matter what is sent
from here-to-there, if there is no place to set it up, it will end up in
the middle of a road median or warehoused along with the rest of the
undistributed aid supplies.
Architecture is not just about cement and steel, but about all that goes into safe and sustainable communities, and if one of the realities
is that the future for Haitian MoHABs (mobile-habitants?) is a nomadic
life, then we have no choice as designers but to respond to that
reality. Always four choices: Go back, remain mired in the present, live
in fantasy-land, or move forward. I chose forward, with the lessons of
the past, accurate representation of the present, and realistic
possibilities for the future. One of those possibilities is Expanded
Polymer Bead and Steel Composites. Another possibility is 'Life
Sustaining Resources" that follow & integrate, just as an astronaut
sent into unforgiving-space is "accompanied".
Derek, I, like you, am on the side of every threatened child. I cannot
provide their food, but I can suggest a food-making context and the
shelter that goes with it. So far, my thoughts have been rejected
by dozens of The World's Minorities, but not yet by a single Haitian
member of The World's Majorities. Because they have never seen either a
process or product any different from what they have always endured?
Must they endure another year of THIS? Definitely not a rhetorical question.
"Consider the momentous event in architecture when the wall parted and the column became."(l. Kahn)
"But first remember when it parted to form a corbel. And then an arch."(LK)
(The part of Lou's famed quote always left out! There when he said it, so I can so report)
SIM panel houses in Guam are indistinguishable visually from "native material" designed structures, because SIM panels are BOTH Bearing Walls and Columns. They come with their own Wattle & Daub? To make a window you just cut out the Daub between the Steel Columns, and use it for a Door.
True Composite, not just linkages.....

TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to including farm land which includes agricultural amusements within provisions of law relating to agricultural districts
PURPOSE: To clarify that those portions of land used in support of a farm operation which include corn and hay bale mazes are eligible for the benefits of the agricultural districts law.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends paragraph c of subdivision 4 of section 301 of the Agriculture and Markets Law to clarify that those portions of land used in support of a farm operation which include corn and hay bale mazes are eligible for the benefits of the agricultural districts law.
JUSTIFICATION: This state is home to some 38,000 farms encompassing roughly 7.8 million acres of cropland, pasture and woodlands from Erie County to Suffolk County. These farms produce nearly $3.1 billion annually in direct economic output and probably double or triple that in indirect economic benefits with the farming and food industry employing over 425,000 people. Given the enormous economic impact that agriculture has on the economy of this state we must do everything we can to ensure that our farmers survive.
Part of the way that farmers are surviving is by turning to, on a small scale, on farm, agritourism related activities including corn and hay bale mazes. The two main reasons are to generate additional revenue that helps offset the declining milk and crop prices as well as to bring people to the farm to learn about and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of agriculture. Both are important to our farmers, our rural economy and our open spaces as we all share the important goal of making sure our farmers can continue to produce the safe food supply we have come to expect. This bill simply seeks to clarify in statute that those portions of land used in support of a farm operation but which contain a corn maze or hay bale maze produced from crops grown on the farm are, in fact, eligible for the agricultural assessment as provided in the agricultural districts.
It is important to note that in drafting this bill it closely reflects a previous opinion issued by the Office of Real Property Services related to this very issue. While a small step, it will greatly assist our farmers with preserving their farms and farmland for generations to come.

Last year almost everyone in Region 18 dreaded playing against West Desert and East Carbon's volleyball teams. They knew the chances were that they would get blown out.
This year those people only have one of those programs to fear, East Carbon's.
With the loss of key seniors from both squads, the Lady Hawks and Lady Vikings were considered long shots before the season began to go to state this year. But while the Hawks value has pretty much lived up to those predictions, the Lady Vikings must not have heard that they are supposed to lose this year. So far they have pretty much walloped everyone they have faced and are a perfect 2-0 in Region 18 play after defeating the Hawks in two sets on Tuesday night.
In the first set the Lady Vikes dominated 15-1 and 15-7, as they made winning look easy.
However it was a bit more of a struggle in the second set. But still the East Carbon kids won 15-12 and 15-6.
The only challenge the team seemed to have is with itself. In the first game of the second set, West Desert was able to go up 6-0 and then 10-2. In time it was 12-6 and then the East Carbon team got serious and came back to win.
"They just had to settle down and play," said coach Alisa Preston on Wednesday morning.
For those uninitiated, 1A volleyball teams do not usually play home and home games during the season, because of the cost of travel between the schools, which in many of the small school regions in the state is a great distance. It's more like a football schedule, where one year a team plays at home and the next year it reverses and they play at the other school. It's is more like the football schedules in the larger schools, but with one important difference; they play two sets of games at the site where they compete.
The strength of this years team comes from all the members, with a few seniors leading the way.
In the games Tuesday night Chelsey Timothy led the team in serving with Amanda Hepworth not far behind.
The defense was anchored by one of last years starters Misty Valdez and Brittnie Leonard, who did not play last year, but did play as a sophomore.
With those important wins under their belt the team now plays in the Carbon High JV tournament this weekend. In this tournament, some of the 1A varsity teams face larger schools junior varsity teams.
Then they will return to league play next Tuesday when they face Wendover in the border town west of Salt Lake.
Their next home games will be on Sept. 24 against the Meridian Lady Mongooses.

Quote from Charlie Brown
Is there a way to convert MJ to EU (or even vice versa) in FTB?
If you have MJ and need to generate EU, you can use your MJ to power fermenters to make biomass and stills to turn the biomass into biofuel, which you can then use in biopower generators to generate EU. It is not a simple setup, as the fermenter needs saplings, rubber tree saplings, cacti, or sugar cane as well as water, liquid honey or apple juice, so to make a fully self-sustaining, automatic system that will produce EU using this method takes a number of machines working together. Sounds like a fun project.
Another option is to use MJ to power magma crucibles to create lava for powering geothermal generators.
A third option is to use MJ to create fuel for powering railcraft boilers, when can then run a steam turbine to generate EU.

Conference title game could be moved to neutral field
Pac-12 reportedly considering new San Francisco 49ers' venue for Dec. 5 championship
Oregon and California will play the first collegiate game at Levi's Stadium, the new home of the San Francisco 49ers, when the Ducks battle the Bears on Friday, Oct. 24.
Sports Illustrated is reporting that the Pac-12 is considering moving the Dec. 5 conference championship game to the same NFL venue in Santa Clara, Calif., instead of contesting the game on the home field of the participant with the best conference record.
The Ducks defeated UCLA in the inaugural Pac-12 championship game at Autzen Stadium after the 2011 season. Oregon will be the preseason favorite to represent the North Division in 2014.

Same Ole Commode-Dores? Maybe Not
How has Vanderbilt started the season 2-0? Let's take a closer look starting with the defense. At first glance it would appear to be using smoke and mirrors and other parlor tricks. Against Wake Forest they allowed 274 rushing yards (5.4 yards per attempt) and still won. Against Arkansas they allowed 194 rushing yards (4.5 yards per attempt) and still won. But dig a little deeper. Against Wake, of the 49 rushing plays not counting sacks (which count as negative rushing yardage in the college game) 17 (35%) went for 3 yards or less. 31 (63%) went for 6 yards or less. 10 (20%) were between 7-10 yards. 8 (16%) went for more than 10 yards with a long of 33. Wake routinely gashed Vanderbilt for runs of 5 yards or more, but their drives were stalled because they had such a high percentage of runs go for 3 yards or less as well. The rushing defense against Arkansas was a little different. Of the 39 running plays discounting sacks, 19 (49% almost half!) went for 3 yards or less. 27 (69%) went for 6 yards or less. 5 (13%) were between 7-10 yards. 7 (18%) were for more than 10 yards with a long of 39 (which was the first Arkansas touchdown). As opposed to the Wake game, where there defense routinely gave up runs of 5 or more yards, Vanderbilt played very solid run defense against Arkansas. The Hogs accumulated a relatively high yards per attempt average thanks to some long runs, but they were stopped on almost half of their runs for 3 yards or less. This is best illustrated on their second possession. They had a 1st and Goal at the Vandy 4 yard line. A 1st down run netted 3 yards and moved the ball to the 1 yard line. However, Arkansas was stopped 3 times in a row for no gain and subsequently Vanderbilt took over on offense.
The run defense against Wake avoided giving up many long runs, but did surrender a large number of intermediate runs. However, as any math major will tell you, it still takes a lot of plays to move down the field when you gain 5 yards at a time. Odds are, eventually the drive will stop short of a touchdown. Against Arkansas, the run defense was feast or famine. Arkansas backs either gained lots of yards or were stuffed at the line. Vandy benefited by playing two teams without superior passing attacks. On the occasions when the running plays were stuffed and the offenses needed to pass to obtain a first down, they were not able to do so.
Lest we forget, Vanderbilt's offense has also played a key role in their 2-0 start. QB Jay Cutler, a bona-fide pro prospect has thrown for 554 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions in the first two games. He has also added a rushing touchdown. His yards per pass attempt is a decent 6.8. All told, Cutler has been rather pedestrian so far, but he has avoided turnovers (only 2 interceptions and no lost fumbles) and has not put the elastic Vanderbilt defense into any bad situations.
One final factor in the Vanderbilt start is simple luck. Last season Vanderbilt had the luck of Frank Grimes. They were 0-5 in games decided by 6 points or fewer. This season, they have won 2 games by a combined 8 points. Tennessee still owes Pythagoras from last season, but in Vandy's case Pythagoras has given them what amounts to an early season tax return (sorry we owe you from last year). Just a simple case of luck evening out over time.
Vandy has its next 5 games at home. The first 3 (Mississippi, Richmond, and Middle Tennessee) are all winnable. The next 2 (LSU and Georgia), well stranger things have happened. Vandy also gets another winnable game at home at against Kentucky later in the year sandwiched between road trips to South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee. It won't be easy, but Vandy definitely has a chance to make their first bowl trip since 1982. I'm sure if Vandy wins their next 3, ESPN.com will run an Ivan Maisel piece where he expounds some mumbo-jumbo about how Vandy finally 'believes they can win' and how head coach Bobby Johnson's no cursing policy has 'helped the players overcome adversity as a team', when in reality the fact is this: Vanderbilt has a solid SEC team with good SEC players. No they won't compete for a national championship, but neither will half the schools with bigger budgets, bigger stadiums, and better players. Kudos to you Mr. Johnson.
