Team preview: Drexel
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2003-04 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
Updated: November 5, 2003, 1:55 PM ETBlue Ribbon Yearbook
Editor's Note: Insider has teamed with Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, long known as the Bible of college basketball, to provide a comprehensive look at all 327 Division I teams.
With six of his top eight players returning, Drexel coach Bruiser Flint is hoping the Dragons can build on last year's 19 wins and NIT invite last March.
The problem? Flint must replace two all-conference performers in 6-8 post man Robert Battle (15.1 ppg, 8.2 rpg in 2002-03) and sweet-shooting point guard Eric Schmieder (13.6 ppg, team-best 135 assists). Battle and Schmieder were the driving forces behind Drexel's success the last couple seasons.

. "I can't advertise for side work because I haven't got a great deal of time so it's just word of mouth."
Your work should speak for itself. If you are getting work by word of mouth, then it must be atleast acceptable to others. The "customers" should be understanding of what to expect. The price is something that you have to be able to live with. Do you think that the Dr. that you go to is worried about how much he charges? Not in this life time! I was told many years ago, that it is one thing to discount the parts, but don't discount your labor. When I price out a job, I do it by considering the hours involved, and multiply it by the labor rate that I feel is appropriate for this area. I do consider that I do not have the same overhead that a large shop does. That means that I charge the rate that I feel my labor is worth.
Keep in mind that, if you charge too little, people will wonder why you can do it so cheaply.
it will slowly come around if you do good work, once you have done jobs for a few people, they will hopefully remember and tell someone else. I did a mustang for a guy way way to cheap. Also had another guy I did some work from bring me a job, and also had a possible another one from him, but didn't really feel like doing another body kit, and we never really got in touch with another again. But Even though I did the mustang too cheap, If I wanted (maybe spring time) I could repaint the hood on that car (something in his garage dropped on it) and he also has a newer mustang he possibly wants painted. I may do it depending on how busy I am, he is a decent guy, but probably won't make a killing since I did his other car so cheap. If you do an old car and you are the type does things right ( I know how it is) One tip I can give you from my experience, tell them you won't give an estimate until you strip the paint, which they will have to pay you for. Boy the surprises you can run into that you don't realize are so bad looking at the paint. Just keep doing the best work you can on the jobs you do, and hopefully people will remember you and eventually people will be beating down your door and not squak about price and you get the right customers. Everyone has to start somewhere, but do things too cheap and you won't really be happy, I know this too well. They say bad referals travel faster then good ones, so do your best work and charge for it, and forget the rest. Things just don't happen overnight. I've done a few side jobs over the past few years, and I haven't done anything for awhile because I learned to wait for the right job and not cut labor way down to get it, and I still don't have a real lot of people asking to get stuff done. It seems to be the most in early spring though in this area (not doing insurance work), when people come out of winter hibernation and want there car looking nice for spring and summer cruising.
I know all about working for free, I did way to much of that years ago. If you do quality work for a long enough period of time your schedual will always be full. If your work stands out and it gets some good exposure good things can happen really fast, just remember everyone has started somewhere. Don't work for free though. On the older cars, if you do any, your best bet is to charge by the hour-this is the only way to be fair to yourself and your customer. If it's smaller jobs then you're going to have to figure it out by the hour and bid the job. Put it down on paper and explain it to your customers. Just be carefull if this isn't a licensed operation because you have no recourse if the owner just decides to take the car without paying. There's no mechanic's lein for a fly by night shop. Doing builders for resale is also an option if you don't like the stress of bodywork customers and the licensing problems, some people make a living this way. Good luck with it! Bob
Excellent point BADDBOB, on someone not paying after the work is done. So far I haven't had any problems. Maybe I should start to ask for some cash in advance..........I've done way to much of paying for stuff out of my own pocket to do the job. Just last summer I had a guy come to me with a 29 foot boat and wanted a new motor put in, then after I said yes, he went on a 2 month vacation to Germany. When he got back I had over $1000.00 of my own money spent on the boat. He paid me though.
I appreciate everyones input. I think I'm going to start charging by the hour.
Man, I hear you guys !! I own a mechanical shop and don't do work cheap or jobs that aren't going to be profitable. I would rather make the $$ doing 1 job than 3 to get the same. I've never lost any money by turning down a job. Do the questionable job or the ones in doubt and you will.
I would like to have some of these people watch every step that gets covered when prepping/painting a vehicle and then ask them if they would do it any cheaper themselves I don't think they take into consideration how much of the total cost go's into supplies taking away a great deal of the profit from the painter.
I had a guy bring me a 55 Chevy once in the early days of my career. He wanted 2 qtr panels, 2 tone finish, remove the motor and paint it and the engine compartment, remove all the interior mouldings and paint them to match the car. I noted all the repairs, looked it over real well then sat down to write it up. He looked at the cars in the shop while I wrote then casually strolled over the the counter and got a look at what I was writing. "Woah Woah!" he said. "What?" I replied. "That looks like a lot of money already..."
"well yes and no" I replied. "Where are we at so far...looks like 3 or 4 grand from here". "Well, the qtrs alone are $350 each and about $500 each to install, you have rust on the inners, you want 2 tone paint, etc, did I miss something?" "Well what's the ballpark you think?" I replied you'll be around $5500 to $6000 all said and done." "No way!! That's a lotta damn money for that job!" "Well did you have a budget to try to stick too? I'll try to work around that, maybe we do it in multiple visits?" "That's just too much...what can I get for a thousand dollars?" "You can get outta here...that's what."
It was very empowering at that time to do that. I NEEDED to do that. As insulted as he was, too bad. All of that work and he thought he could get it done for a grand. Not by me. Truely not by anyone. That was more insulting. Don't let your talents be driven by the desire to get the work. You'll drive them down that way. Focus on quality. $$ will follow.
I have to disagree with ya baddbob...there is recourse for independents. You apply for and almost always get an "Artisan's lein" if there's problems. Most times all it takes is for a deadbeat is to see you're serious and ready to take legal action and they pay. Also 'grape, ALWAYS get mat'l and parts money up front. If they can't come up with it, their not for real. "Take all the time you need..." can many times mean "I don't have any $ and plan to jack you out of it somehow..." You'll soon get to know who's who and what's what. Stay at it and good luck.
A few years ago I hit a deer with one of my cars. Did similar damage and I supplied parts. One fender off to repair, replace hood, paint - cost over $4,000. When I need some painting I'll fly you here, feed you, and supply everything if you only charge me $500!
I've been fortunate so far about collecting money afterwards, but if anyone tried to get out of it they wouldn't get their car back How do those one hour paint shops work so cheap? There's a place in Millwaukee called "Earl Shieb" or something like that, that will do a paint job in a day for around a couple hundred bucks. P.S. "GCD1962", I need a vacation, I'll be waiting for that plane ticket

Bill Morrison has reinvented the lost art of the silent film–often using decaying footage from old silent movies but also creating his own luminous, evocative world out of new images and new music. This series looks at a selection of Morrison's major works, all done in collaboration with some of the finest new-music composers. The opening and closing films are shown with live orchestral accompaniment: The Miners' Hymns features a riveting, brass-heavy score by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, played by the Wordless Music Orchestra; and the grand finale, Decasia, brings the Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble to perform Michael Gordon's score. In between, the new film The Great Flood is paired with music by eclectic guitar hero Bill Frisell, and Spark of Being includes an electro-acoustic score by trumpeter and bandleader Dave Douglas. Admission is FREE!
All performances will be taped for later broadcast on New Sounds.
- The Miners' Hymns (Tuesday, January 31) – An optical documentary that depicts an ill-fated mining community in England. The Wordless Music Orchestra, conducted by Guðni Franzson, will perform the riveting, brass-heavy score by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson. (View trailer for The Miners' Hymns)
- The Great Flood (Wednesday, February 1) – A brilliant visualization of the most destructive river flood in American history features a playback of the riveting score from eclectic guitar hero Bill Frisell. (View embeddable trailer for The Great Flood)
- Spark of Being (Thursday, February 2) – Named the Best Experimental/Independent Film of 2011 by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, Spark of Being is an adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and features a recorded electro-acoustic score by renowned jazz trumpeter Dave Douglas. (View embeddable trailer for Spark of Being)

QPR manager Harry Redknapp believes he faced an uphill struggle to keep the club in the Premier League because he did not have a chance to build his own team.
Redknapp replaced Mark Hughes at Loftus Road in November with the club rock bottom of the table and with just four points to their name.
The former Tottenham boss could not save Rangers, who drew 0-0 at Reading yesterday meaning both clubs have been relegated to the npower Championship.
Despite bringing in expensive signings Loic Remy and Christopher Samba in January Redknapp felt he would have had a better chance at achieving survival if he had been able to shape the club in his own fashion
"If you had the job at the start of the year it would have been different because you build your team and that is your team," he said.
"You shouldn't be running around in the transfer window trying to patch a team up, it is very difficult then. I spent days and days away from home all over Europe trying to plug some holes.
"You build your team in the summer, that is when you build a team, do your training and get together. The club went 13 games without winning a game and that is quite a bad start by anyone's standards."
Reading won the Championship last season but struggled to adapt to the Premier League and will join Rangers in the second tier once again.
Unlike QPR, the Royals were frugal with transfer funds and player wages with only the contract given to Russia forward Pavel Pogrebnyak comparable to most other top-flight clubs.
Owner Anton Zingarevich, who sacked Brian McDermott in March and replaced him with Nigel Adkins, believes it is about the quality of players signed rather than their actual value.
"It is not the amount that decides things," he said.
"It is how you spent it, we need to sign the good players on good deals, we need to be cautious to pick the right deals."
Adkins has targeted an immediate return to the Premier League and admits he will start to look at the players he feels can achieve the task.
"There will be a recruitment process that goes on," he said.
"I want to be in the Premier League. The majority of teams in the Championship have been in the PL and all of those want to get back in there.
"The owner has been great and I have had some good meetings with him. There is a lot of hunger here. We want to make sure we give ourselves an opportunity to get back to the Premier League."

Now it's the Cardinals who feel like they have something to prove against the upstart Pirates.
St. Louis has juggled its rotation so Adam Wainwright can start Tuesday night's opener of this much-anticipated three-game series opposite Charlie Morton, who has lost five straight to the Cardinals.
Pittsburgh (70-47) heads to Busch Stadium with a 7-3 record against St. Louis (67-50), winning four of five at home July 29-Aug. 1 to take over the Central lead.
St. Louis was outscored 22-7 in the first four games of that set before salvaging a 13-0 victory in the finale to snap a season-high seven-game losing streak.
"I know our guys are looking forward to playing them again," manager Mike Matheny said. "We're anxious about it. There's a little added excitement with them coming in town and something to prove. We're a better team than we showed in Pittsburgh."
Matheny mandated a day away from the park on Monday's off day with his club a loser of 13 of 18.
"We're locking the clubhouse doors just in case anybody has a stupid idea," he said.
The Cardinals have dropped three straight starts by Wainwright (13-7, 2.66 ERA), who allowed four runs in seven innings and did not get a decision in a 5-4 loss at Pittsburgh on July 31. He's 0-2 with a 4.29 ERA during that span, and will have three extra days of rest since pitching last Monday against the Dodgers.
The right-hander, second in the majors with 175 2-3 innings pitched, is 9-6 with a 2.93 ERA in 17 career starts with at least six days off.
"I'm always excited to take the ball," Wainwright told the Cardinals' official website. "That's why we work hard in between starts."
Wainwright's 5.19 ERA against Pittsburgh is his second-highest against any NL club.
Numerous Pirates have good numbers against him. Russell Martin is 9 for 19, Andrew McCutchen is 9 for 23, Jose Tabata 6 for 13 and Neil Walker 5 for 13.
McCutchen has 14 hits in his last 27 at-bats and Walker is hitting .364 in his last 15 games for Pittsburgh, which was swept in a weekend three-game set at Colorado that came on the heels of a 9-2 homestand.
The Pirates also had Monday off and are eager to move on to St. Louis, where they took two of three April 26-28.
"We're going to go in there, it's going to be packed, it's going to be exciting," manager Clint Hurdle told the Pirates' official website.
Morton (4-3, 3.88) is 0-5 with a 6.41 ERA in his last five starts against the Cardinals, surrendering five runs in six innings in the Aug. 1 defeat. He's 1-3 with a 7.77 ERA in five outings at St Louis.
Pittsburgh has won all four of his other starts over the past five weeks as Morton has gone 3-0 with a 3.50 ERA. He beat Miami on Wednesday with seven strong innings in a 4-2 win.
Allen Craig, hitting .464 with runners in scoring position, is 8 for 15 off the right-hander. Carlos Beltran is 5 for 12 and Matt Holliday 7 for 21.
Holliday is hitting .436 with 12 RBIs in his past 15 games, going 10 for 23 in the last series against Pittsburgh.
Beltran left Sunday's 8-4 victory over the Cubs after fouling a ball off his right foot. X-rays were negative.
"Hopefully Tuesday I can be back," he said.

An increasing number of promising applications for future technology is arising from size constraints in nanoparticles (NPs) and from the chemical manipulation of their surfaces. In this work, we analyse the finite-size and surface effects on polyacrylic acidcoated Fe3O4 NPs and oleic acid-coated g-Fe2O3 NPs by studying their magnetization curves at different temperatures. The measured thermal dependence of the saturation magnetization is no longer explained by the typical T3/2 Bloch law, yielding higher values than those expected for its exponent. When incorporated in polymeric matrixes to form magnetic transparent nanocomposites, the oleic acid-coated g-Fe2O3 NPs also deviate from Bloch's law, but following the opposite trend observed in free coated NPs.

Stovetop Popper: Oil
- Do I have to use oil in my Stove Top Popcorn Popper?
Yes. Oil must be used when popping popcorn with the stove top popper. If oil is not used, a few kernels will pop, but most will remain unpopped and will scorch. Follow all instructions in your instruction manual.

The United States has been urging NATO to extend its influence into eastern Europe on the assumption, as Kurt Volker, assistant secretary of state put it: "it is the right of the Georgian people are Georgian government to determine their own security orientation." The British government voices platitudes expressing support for the Georgian attack on South Ossetia insisting President Saakashvili had the right to lead his government in regaining control of breakaway areas. As Geoffrey Wheatcroft notes in The Independent, the world already knew Putin led a ruthless government that would not hesitate to use power, but the verbal bellicosity of Western officials raises questions as to the goals of American and NATO in response to aggression.
The world is aware when Kosovo broke away from Serbia, the United States and NATO fervently insisted a people had a right to break away from a government that it despised. Apparently,the people of South Ossetia do not enjoy that right. President Bush saw no problem building bases on the border of Russia although he would most probably have authorized an invasion of Cuba if that country offered military bases to Russia.
Western media is filled with angry voices which insist the forces of democracy must be respected and which condemn violence toward innocent people. Darfur has seen the death of over 200,000 people and the Congo has witnessed the death of 5,000,000 but no cries come from Washington D.C. about the plight of those people.
Russian has twice been invaded in the 20th century with the death of over 40 million of its people. The Russians withdrew missiles from Cuba in 1962 when President Kennedy objected but the United States under Bush in 2008 believes it is OK to establish missile bases near Russia.
Western nations have no business building up the Georgian military and urging its leaders to take action to support their goals. If the Western world supports independence for Kosovo it has no right to prevent breakaway provinces in the caucus area. We do not condone brutal Russian actions toward Georgia, but recognize that Georgia provoked the warfare.
If hypocrisy was a virtue, George Bush would be a saint in heaven.

June's a special month to me because I remember it greatly as the time when school would finally let out, and the prospect of the next 2 months of summer fun were within actual grasp.
To properly enjoy summer which officially began a couple of days ago with the summer solstice, I present a list of 10 favorite summer flavored flicks. Grab your Beach ball, 6 pack, swim trunks, hiking shoes, popsicles and prepare to get some sand (among other things) stuck in between your toes.
2 teenage rivals decide to make a pack with one another to see who'll lose their virginity first while at summer camp. Mayhem and total late 70's/early 80's awesomeness ensues.
More fun at another summer camp... This one branded "Camp Blood" by a group of counselors who think maybe catching a case of poison oak while screwing in the woods is the worst of their problems. Kevin Bacon impalement ensues.
The 'Godfather' of summer movies. A great white Shark reeks havoc on a small coastal town during July 4th weekend. JAWS leaves it's indelible impression on it's viewer ever single time without fail.
A young man gets summer schooled in the way of love while on vacation in Nantucket with an older woman. Set in 1942, SUMMER is purely 70's in it's storytelling and raw honesty.
Speaking of Summer School, here's the real thing. A mix-matched bunch of dim teens show they have a lot of heart by trying to pass a test while driving their teacher bonkers. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and many laughs ensue.
The Goonies may not be set during the summer, but it was released in June and as a then 12 year old I was obsessed with it all summer. A group of wacky adolescents look for buried treasure to save their family homes. The Goonies are (more than) good enough.
A rugged former cop's young daughter is kidnapped on the gritty New York streets of 1979. Dude, the poster and tagline has him tearing NYC apart! This movie cannot be duplicated and absolutely rules.
A family rents a gothic mansion for the summer and slowly goes mad. Expect both creepy Oliver Reed and Bette Davis performances with a dash of Karen Black cross-eyed nuttiness. Predates The Shining and I happen to enjoy it more.
Linda Blair finds love on wheels in the form of a roller skater on the venice beach boardwalk. During that summer he teachers her to skate and not be so stuck up while she introduces him to some class and her ample bosom. The best film about a disco roller skating competition ever.
John Carpenter's 1976 film about a siege on an Los Angeles police precinct might not involve a lot of summer time fun, but there is tons of tension and atmosphere. Plus you'll never look at an ice cream truck the same way ever again.

Website Review: Our Lady of America
A review based on: http://ave-ourladyofamerica.net/
Our Lady of America is a website dedicated to the approved apparitions of Sister Mary Ephrem (Mildred Neuzil) who lived in Ohio and died in 2000. Her spiritual director for 32 years was the venerable Archbishop Leibold of Cincinnati who died in 1972. In addition to giving his imprimatur to particular writings of Sister Mary Ephrem, he also approved a medal which he himself had made and paid for.
Our Lady's message was primarily concerned with the need for a renewal of the interior life, which would begin in the family through her intercession under the title of Our Lady of America. Sister Mary Ephrem also had apparitions of St. Joseph, Our Lord, St. Gabriel and St. Michael. Our Lady wishes the United States to lead the world to peace through the purity of our lives by conforming oneself to the Divine Indwelling of the Holy Trinity.
Unfortunately there appears to be a controversy between the promoters of this website and another site providing information about Our Lady of America. This other site is run by the Langsenkamp Family Apostolate of Indianapolis Indiana. We are not taking sides in this dispute but we do notice that the devotional materials on the Langsenkamp website are considerably less expensive.

Stata knows different types of weights. Most often people should use
either pweights or fweights, aweights are only appropriate in very
specialized situations. See: section 11.1.6 in the User's guide for
more. -logit- allows for fweights and pweights (and iweights).

Hear no evil, see no evil, don't look hard and cover up the mess
Page Tools
John Howard, by his own admission, is being hurt by Iraq.
Today's revelations that despite repeated Government assurances to the contrary, an Australian military lawyer in Baghdad knew as early as October about allegations of prisoner abuse in Iraqi jails and had reported it to his superiors, could cause the Prime Minister a lot of political pain.
As with many scandals, it's the cover-up that is most damning.
Major George O'Kane was given a difficult job in extremely trying conditions.
He found himself in the middle of what was to emerge as the greatest disaster of an already fraught campaign to invade, occupy and impose a new friendly government in Iraq.
How diligently he did his job remains uncertain. No question, the International Committee of the Red Cross was initially most unhappy with the responses to its allegations that it got back from US military headquarters, where Major O'Kane was stationed.
But accounts to the Herald from well-informed sources suggest that Major O'Kane did grapple honestly enough with the issue and, crucially, reported at least some details of the abuse to his Australian military superiors in regular reports.
What is certain is the Federal Government and the Department of Defence have engaged in a cover-up, either by suppressing information or adopting its customary "don't tell us what we don't want to hear" policy when it comes to accountability and relations between political and bureaucratic arms of government.
On May 10, the national security committee of cabinet vowed to find out all it could about Australian knowledge of the abuses in Iraqi prisons.
It either didn't look very hard or ignored what it found.
This week the Defence Department, following inquiries by the Herald, sent an email on its top-secret network to about 100 personnel asking if they witnessed abuse or visited Abu Ghraib.
Why would such an email be necessary? Defence had already said it had no knowledge of the allegations of torture and abuse.
More to the point, the Herald didn't ask only if abuse had been witnessed but inquired whether "Australians at [US military] headquarters liaised with the Red Cross", "read the Red Cross reports" or "were appraised of the concerns of the Red Cross about detainees".
In Major O'Kane's case - and possibly other Australian officers - the answer was yes to all three.
With grand deception its stock in trade, Defence public relations responded last night by saying only that there were "no witnesses to abuse".
The removal from the Defence website of a photo of Major O'Kane at the Abu Ghraib prison speaks volumes.

Radioactive contaminants can migrate in groundwater over long distances faster than originally thought, according to the results of field tests at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. Approximately 50 percent of all Americans get their drinking water from groundwater sources, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The study has broad implications for risk and performance assessments of current and future waste disposal facilities.
The research is reported in the Nov. 11 Web edition of Environmental Science & Technology, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society. The article also will appear in the journal's Dec. 15 print edition.
Using non-radioactive surrogates injected into groundwater as tracers, the scientists found that dissolved humic material, naturally formed in soils during decomposition of plant matter, can bind radionuclides and prevent them from being retained in the soil, thereby speeding the migration of the contaminant. "The tracers moved at almost the same velocity as the groundwater," said the report's lead author John McCarthy, Ph.D., of the Oak Ridge facility, and were observed 10 to 80 meters from the injection site within a week or less. "This information opposed the results of laboratory tests that suggested contaminants strongly bind to the soil and move only centimeters a year."
"The results have significant implications as to the role than even typically low levels of dissolved humics in groundwater can play in contaminant mobility with respect to existing waste facilities and future repositories," said McCarthy.
There are thousands of waste disposal sites in the U.S. that handle hazardous materials, many of them operated by the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense or EPA, according to McCarthy. However, "we don't know how ubiquitous this facilitated transport process is because these sorts of studies have not been conducted elsewhere," he cautions. "I don't want to be an alarmist about this study," he adds.
The testing was carried out in conjunction with researchers from the University of Tennessee and Colorado State University.
A nonprofit organization with a membership of more than 155,000 chemists and chemical engineers, the American Chemical Society publishes scientific journals and databases, convenes major research conferences, and provides educational, science policy and career programs in chemistry. Its main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.

A WWII Bomber and Poet is Laid to Rest
According to BBC News, David Raikes, a WWII-pilot and aspiring poet, has finally been laid to rest. He and members of 18 Squadron went missing after their plane was shot down in Italy. An Italian group of amateur archeologists, Archeologi dell'Aria, recently found the wreckage of Raikes's plane in an area of Italian farmland.
The organisation's founder, Fabio Raimondi says a local man in his hometown of Copparo, near Ferrara, once told him a story about a plane coming down in nearby farmland at the end of the war.
The wreck had burned for two days, then the carcass was picked over for some of its more valuable metal.
But at some point it seems that either German or Italian forces covered much of the wreckage in the crater that the crash had caused.
"During the search, we found – in among the melted aluminium – a watch," says Raimondi.
"To my amazement, I discovered that on its back there was a number.
"I went online, typed it in, and I got to the Australian National Archive. I found out who he was… and that he had been missing in action."
Raimondi says that as he and his team dug down and worked to retrieve the remains of the crew, he thought of the relatives of the men who had never come home.
"It was very emotional, the work of several months for us volunteers," he says.
"To find and identify the remains of four flyers is very important. With the funeral we close this circle." The pilot, David Raikes, was an aspiring poet, and his family published some of his work posthumously.
Among the poems was a piece called "Let it be hushed," in which he reflected on the loss of comrades – other crews that had failed to return from missions.
Raikes wrote:
These men knew moments you have never known,
Nor ever will; we knew those moments too,
And talked of them in whispers late at night;
Such confidence was born of danger shared.
We shared their targets, too; but we came back.
As the poem continues, it touches on the black humour that helped the crews cope with the continual danger of death, as in this joke about a dead flyer's watch.
… Someone said
'It was a pity that he wore his watch;
It was a good one, twenty pounds he said
He'd paid for it in Egypt. Now, let's see,
Who's on tonight. Ah, Taffy – you've a good one!
You'd better leave it with me.' And we laughed.
Cold were we? Cold at heart. You get that way.
Towards the end of the poem, Raikes writes about the rituals that were followed when a crew failed to come back to base.
… At first just overdue,
Till minutes changed to hours, and still no news.
One went to bed; but roused by later crews,
Asked 'were they back yet?' And being answered 'No',
Went back to sleep
One's waking eyes sought out the empty beds,
And 'Damn', you said, 'another kit to pack.'
I never liked that part. You never knew
What privacies your sorting might lay bare.
I always tried to leave my kit arranged
In decent tidiness. You never knew.

As we approach the New Year, United Spinal Association and NSCIA would like to thank you for making 2013 a year to remember!
With nearly 40,000 members, 44 regional chapters, 101 hospital members and 170 support groups nationwide, your contributions have helped make us the largest non-profit membership organization dedicated to assisting people living with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D).
Thanks to you, we helped thousands of wheelchair-users, veterans, and people with multiple sclerosis and other spinal cord disorders overcome the daily challenges of living with a disability each year and discover new paths to independence and empowerment. We also extend our support to those most important in their lives–– their family members and caregivers.
In this uncertain economic time, we count on your support – now more than ever. We exist to serve you, your loved ones, and the SCI/D community – to provide educational resources, support, advocacy.
Please consider making as generous a gift as you can.
Here is some of the work we've accomplished this past year.
With your support we were able to expand our chapter and peer support base to assist more people living with spinal cord injuries and disorders than ever before. We also continued to advance public policies that lead to greater civil rights and independence for wheelchair users.
You helped us to distribute nearly 3,000 New Beginning Backpacks to individuals with spinal cord injuries or onset of disease, thereby providing them with the tools and support to begin their journey to achieve their goals.
We fought hard to improve the rights of veterans living with disabilities and help them transition back into their communities. And we appointed a Medical and Scientific Advisory Committee (MSAC) to help offer people living with SCI/D the very best resources to improve their independence and quality of life.
We offered one-on-one guidance on SCI/D, wheelchairs and assistive technology and veterans benefits to over 5,500 individuals through our online help desks.
We trained TSA specialists from across the country in assisting air travelers with disabilities and provided expert consultation on state/local accessibility requirements to ensure our built environment is accessible to all.
While we are proud of all of our accomplishments, there is still a great deal of work ahead, so we hope we can count on your continued support of our critically important programs and initiatives.
Thank for your generosity. We'd like to wish you and your family health, happiness and prosperity during the Holiday Season and the New Year.

Visakhapatnam: After being bailed out of trouble on day one by two middle-order batsmen, New Zealand A were lifted into a dominant position in the second unofficial Test thanks to two unlikely heroes with the bat. From an overnight 300 for 8, the tourists finished on 437 as Doug Bracewell (96) and Ish Sodhi (57) defied the home team's bowlers for 43.1 overs. In reply, India A closed on 94 for 2, trailing by 343 runs at the Port Trust Diamond Jubilee Stadium on Tuesday.
The ninth-wicket partnership of 162 between the two tailenders was New Zealand's second best on tour, behind the 165 that Corey Anderson and Anton Devcich put together on day one. Having denied the Indian bowlers for 70 balls on Monday evening, Bracewell and Sodhi resumed their stubborn stand on 12 and 14 respectively and thwarted whatever came their way. Bracewell reached his half-century first and was the more aggressive of the two especially against the spinners; he struck 11 fours and a six. Sodhi, whose previous best was 52, occupied the crease well and allowed Bracewell to go for his shots.
From 426 for 8 at lunch, New Zealand slumped in the afternoon session. Bracewell was the first to be dismissed, bowled for 96 (one short of his first-class best of 97) when India skipper Abhishek Nayar rattled his stumps. In the next over, Dhawal Kulkarni got Sodhi got in the slips. Spinners Jalaj Saxena and Rakesh Dhurv both conceded over 100.
India A lost an early wicket once again, with Unmukt Chand getting another score of 4 (he made the same in the first match), as he nicked Test aspirant Mark Gillespie behind in the fifth over. The next jolt came from Bracewell, who removed Vijay Zol for 2 - poking an away-swinger to first slip - in a top opening spell of 5-1-9-1. Gillespie too was excellent in bowling an opening spell of 6-3-6-1 as India A managed just 28 runs from 15 overs.
A collapse was averted as VA Jagadeesh (40*) and Manprit Juneja (43*) put on 78 to take India A to 94 for 2 in 38 overs at the close play.

Reviewed May. 11, 2014
"I also liked this. The Bisquick base gave it a different texture. I added Taco Seasoning to the beef; along with green peppers and onions as I was browning it. I also added green chilies and black olives to the Mayo/SC/Chez sauce. And, of course, more chez on top before baking. I'm sure it will even taste better tomorrow. ")"
Reviewed Jan. 3, 2013
"We liked this. I didn't have a tomato so I added salsa, along with cumin, parsley flakes, chili pepper and garlic powder. It would probably be good with some corn added, too. It was very creamy and reminded us of Buffalo chicken Dip. Next time I will skip the crust and make this as a delicious hot dip for tortilla chips!"

You are herecontent / Why Bush Loves Violence
Why Bush Loves Violence
Why Bush Loves Violence
by Justin Frank, M.D. | Daily Beast
Psychiatrist Justin Frank, author of Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President, says the trail of destruction wrought by Bush over the last eight years is the direct consequence of handing a man with a destructive personality profile tremendous power.
George Bush's presidency is the culmination of a lifelong history of sadistic practices that he must deny in order to maintain his fragile psychological equilibrium. Since childhood, Bush was labeled a bad child, a troublemaker, and a delinquent. He stuck firecrackers into frogs and exploded them; he shot and wounded his little brothers with a b-b gun; he branded fraternity pledges at Yale with red-hot coat hangers; he mocked others and was a verbal bully, irreverent about anything serious.
What do bad boys do when they grow up? They stop; they change. But Bush never stopped being a bad boy; he only did it in more subtle, arguably socially acceptable ways.
Now, as this bad-boy president prepares to leave office, many of his critics are pinning his failures on bumbling incompetence. The conventional wisdom holds that Bush is either a good hearted guy who got in way over his head—or the puppet of Dick Cheney. But if he were simply good-hearted he wouldn't have mocked his own reasons for committing our young men and women to war; if he were a puppet, he was a puppet who chose his puppeteers. In my psychoanalytic exploration, the trail of destruction wrought by Bush over the last eight years is the direct consequence of handing a man with a destructive personality profile tremendous power.
Bush is leaving office immensely satisfied with his presidential accomplishments: Not merely wreaking havoc worldwide – actively destroying Iraq, and passively turning his back on New Orleans – he became feared both abroad and at home, where Congress and the press have yet to muster the courage to confront him. Now, the financial devastation of his policies seems to be hurtling the globe ever faster towards an economic Judgment Day.
The secret sadist in Bush greets all this as wonderful news, made even better by the possibility that he won't get caught or punished, and that others will at least have to clean up his mess if they can. He may look and sound uncharacteristically sheepish of late, but his sense of self as president remains unchanged at its core. His primary concern remains self-regard, not history's.
Evading responsibility has always been a central element of the pleasure he takes in the suffering of others, and his evasion has taken many forms, from colluding with questioners to let him off the hook, asking "Ken who?" when asked about Enron's Ken Lay, to making light of his cruel deeds, casually dismissing the fraternity branding as nothing worse than a "cigarette burn," or insisting that the United States does not torture when confronted by reporters about Abu Ghraib.
Sadism serves purposes besides giving the sadist pleasure at the pain he inflicts on others. For Bush, the roots of his bad-boy sadism run deep. As a young boy, he identified with his harsh and often cruel mother, whose inability to provide necessary maternal early nurturing culminated in her withdrawal after George's young sister's illness and untimely death. He was a ruthlessly-teased, learning-disabled little boy who was criticized by teachers for not being able to keep up in class. And he was left behind by an emotionally distant father who reinforced the message from his mother that it was pathetic for a seven-year-old to show grief about his sister's death. All of these factors contributed to an unrelenting self-hatred that made him feel weak and ashamed, things he tried to deny by posing as superior, exploiting weakness in others and becoming a bully. This process of externalizing his damaged sense of self, which he then attacked, became so strong later in life that it could only be partly managed by daily exercise and prayer.
By January 20, George W. Bush will have inflicted enough damage worldwide so he can retire to a quiet life of watching others scramble to clean up his mess. The missions he accomplished as president all bear the personal brand of his destructive streak: astronomic debt to China, horribly wounded veterans, a crippled health care system, and America's damaged international reputation. And they will continue to be felt for years to come. What once started as cruelty to animals, siblings, and fraternity brothers has blossomed exponentially.
Bush's life-long violent tendencies have been expressed both actively and passively. As a youth he enjoyed inflicting pain directly; as a first-term president he let surrogates do his bidding; and in his second term he passively turned his back in malign indifference to the suffering of others. His pathological sadism has never waned, though his efforts to hide it (from himself and others) have occasionally succeeded. He distracted us from his destructiveness by inviting us to express our own natural destructive impulses in the name of the good, specifically justifiable revenge against Osama bin Laden. And he really snookered his Christian supporters, inciting people who are fundamentally about love and forgiveness to openly practice hate towards their fellow (gay, pro-choice, non-Christian) man.
After 9/11, Bush discovered that Americans had handed over to him much of their sense of personal responsibility for thought and action. We were seduced into developing a thirst for revenge, in a war on terror that he originally called a crusade (until his aides told him to change terminology). Bush's conscious fantasy about that crusade remains unwavering; what is unconscious is the fantasy that allows him to be willfully cruel, to dehumanize foreigners and the poor, whether they be soldiers or women and children. And he got us to go along with him.
Preemptive war preempted thought, giving us all permission vicariously to gratify our own sadistic impulses. Bush made it easy for all of us by removing the need to struggle with right and wrong. He just told us we were right to support him, and that we were doing what was best for ourselves, for our nation, and for God. But all the while he knows, at least unconsciously, how sadistic and destructive he is; otherwise he wouldn't need a heavy regimen of daily prayer, or an allegedly dangerous foreign power to demonize. Love and compassion are actually dangerous to Bush because they would push him to re-assess his experience of being surrounded by hostile forces, which might interfere with the dehumanization necessary for him simply to enjoy his sadism. He has denied his own sadism to himself by expressing it in the guise of the good.
On January 20th, Bush will smirk once more, this time in relief that he made it through without having been stopped or caught. As he prepares to leave office, and surveys the wreckage of the peace and prosperity he began destroying eight years ago, Bush consciously sees only what he defensively regards as the collateral damage of his crusades to save the nation and the world. But if we could listen to his unconscious, between satisfied chortles over forcing the Obama family to make its own hotel arrangements and the last-minute arrival of cake plates worthy of Marie Antoinette, we'd hear him say to himself what his father was regrettably—and for the rest of the world, tragically—never around or willing to say: "Heck of a job, Bushie."

George Bush would not be where he is right now were it not for Nancy Pelosi and John Conyers. Which party are they in? Do they have any respect for human life (let alone animal life)?
They are all part of the ZPC, the Zionist Power Configuration. These operatives, individually and in groups, both large and small, display a primary concern for the interests of a foreign entity, Isreal and no or little concern for the interests of America and Americans unless such be in some way tangential to the greater good of Isreal.
Look no further than the disproportionate numbers of dual Isreali-American citizens in senior administration positions of the executive branch of the federal government. As James Petras reveals in his books, officials like Chertoff, Libby, Rahm Emanuel and many others fall into this category. They have been elevated by the Zionist elements, a/k/a Isreal Firsters, who have seeded American government with so many of these kinds of officials whose first and foremost concern is the security and furthering of the interests of the nation of Isreal.
My initial thought is that anyone who is in American government should enter into such a position with a primary focus of the promotion and well being of Americans. Foreign policy which furthers the interests of America and Americans should be paramount.
Ask yurselves if that is the case now? Then think whether America First has been the paramount concern sicne when. How far back do you have to go to find when America and Americans came first? There are probably as many answers to this question as there are Americans on the face of this earth.
Pelosi and Conyers, if not directly involved with the ZPC are at least certainly co-opted by the ZPC and made to, in no uncertain terms, tow the ZPC line and march to the drumbeat for the grerater good of Isreal. So, as Petras states in his latest book, ZIONISM, MILITARISM AND THE DECLINE OF US POWER, Congress is actually a colony of Isreal. Petras' details of ZPC influence in the halls of the Congress are striking and jaw dropping in breadth and depth. The ZPC influence is so strong that Joe Lieberman is not so jokingly referred to as the Senator from Tel Aviv! A review of his record bears a great deal of credibility to this moniker.
The amount of money injected into American political campaign accounts from ZPC functionaries provide a clear indication as to the "purchase" of Congressional support for pro-Isreal legislation even such legislation which contradicts truly American interests. such is the power Isreal possesses over the American government. Even Ariel Sharon a few years back chided Olmert when Olmert expressed concern that Sharon was being too expectant of American compliance with Isreali policies. Sharon told Olmert not to worry, "we Jews control America".
The current state of affairs in America needs to be examined from the perspective of what could have been done in this country to make it better over the last ten, twenty, thirty or forty years with all of the funds America has expended in and for Isreal which have produced one of the world's most militaristic, aggressive and expansionist nations. Isreal could not act in this manner without the material support of America. Most Americans are not even aware of how American tax money supports the beligerence of Isreal.
Fear is the key element of the ZPC operating strategy. Buzzwords and catch phrases abound with the ZPC. Anti-semitism is the foundation of the victimization fraud. Say anything negative about Isreal and you are immediately branded an anti-semite. Isreal's existence is also used to brand any negative take on the State of Isreal to be an "existential threat". The rockets being fired into southerm Isreal from Gaza are always deemed to be "existential threats" to Isreal, while the American made cluster bombs being dropped on Gaza by the Isrealis are deemed to be acts of self-defense by Isreali and American media.
These Democrats have shown their true colors as well as their true allegiances. Allegiance is not to the American people not the Constitution of the United States as is their charge in their oaths of office. No, their true allegiance is to the interests of those from whom they receive their largest campaign contributions. From where do the major amounts? From wealthy elements of the ZPC, that's where! It is impossible for these "public servants" to bite that hand that feeds their insatiable need for campaign money. So they cowtow to any and all dictates of the contributors. You know, what we used to in this country call bribery.
I am no psy expert. I have noticed that he likes to kill things. His time spent "clearing brush" on the ranch is wanton destruction for pleasure. I want to see the sick bastard put on trial for his war crimes!

Ceiling Joist Beam Construction?
We're remodeling our old 1950's garage into a Rec Room. The garage has concrete blocks (6" inches thick) with open ceiling. The garage measures 22'W x 25"L. There are some current "joists" of 2x8's spliced together running the 22' tieing the walls/rafters together. These are random about six at about 3' apart. The previous owners made a quick makeshift room on one side of the garage with the wall down the middle and a drop ceiling while the other side was used for a car.
We plan on gutting the whole thing and have it all used for a Rec Room with a large 8x10 closet on one end. My main concern is the current ceiling height. The garage walls are not that high and vary. On the far end it's 92"-93" for floor the top of wall. At the front is 87"-88". For the outer walls I plan on just building a new frames. The floor so far looks pretty good and leveled better than the walls.
I plan on making a beam that will span about 18' splitting the 25' into. That way I can have the ceiling joists go front-to-back riding ontop of the ledge plate. The length of the ceiling joists is abut 12' on one side and 13' on the other. I'll use joist hangers for a flush look. The beam will lay on top of a wall on each end and have one large wood post at the 12'/6'mark. Since we're not planning on any storage or use of the area above and a sheetrock ceiling I'm hoping to use 2x6's though I'll probably end up with 2x8's.
I just don't know how big of beam to make/use or should I think of two beams to lessen the load on one? I was thinking of (3) 2x12's with 7/16" OSB in between. I'm also concerned about one post being used. I was planning on (3) 2x8's with OSB in between. Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to get the details out. Thanks for your time and help.
Kenny J - Nashville TN.
Too much span for 2x6's. And at 13', just about to the end of a 2x8. You will need to put a footing under the post(s). You can't just have them set on the slab. I'd go with a concrete filled metal support over wood. For the main beam, I'd use 2x12 lvl's bolted together with a 1/4" steel flitch plate in the middle with only one support pole.

Bozeman-Yellowstone Int'l airport now busiest in the state
BOZEMAN, Mont. - The following is a news release from Bozeman-Yellowstone International Airport.
"For the first time, Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) had more passenger enplanements and deplanements than any other airport in Montana during a twelve consecutive month period.
According to statistics from the Montana Department of Transportation, 879,221 passengers passed through the Airport's terminal between June 2012 and May 2013 surpassing all other airports in Montana for the same period.
This milestone is a direct result of collaboration between the Airport and the communities of Bozeman, Belgrade, Big Sky (including Big Sky Resort, Moonlight Basin and the Yellowstone Club) and West Yellowstone.
It is also due to long-term partnerships forged with Montana State University, the Yellowstone Association and the Yellowstone Park Foundation. "We are fortunate to have so many entities in Southwest Montana that understand the importance of air service to the local economy. Without their help, we would not be celebrating this momentous occasion," said Brian Sprenger, Airport Director.
In just three years passenger traffic has increased 28% or nearly 200,000 passengers and has elevated BZN to one of the top 120 airports in the nation in terms of passengers (out of nearly 500).
Much of this increase has been due to additional non-stop destinations including Portland, OR, Los Angeles, Phoenix-Mesa and New York/Newark. In addition, expanded access to hubs and destinations by network airlines, Delta, United and Alaska as well as low fare carriers Frontier and Allegiant Air have contributed to the growth. Scott Humphrey, Deputy Airport Director added, however, that "the Airport will not rest on past success and will continue to work closely with our communities, chambers of commerce and tourism organizations to promote awareness, visitation, economic development and global access to the region."
About Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport:
Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport serves as a year-round gateway to Yellowstone National Park. BZN also serves the recreation areas of Big Sky Resort, Moonlight Basin and the Bridger Bowl Ski Area as well as the business centers of Bozeman, Belgrade and Livingston and higher education at Montana State University.
BZN is served by five airline brands, Alaska, Allegiant, Delta, Frontier and United with non-stop service to Atlanta*, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles*, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Newark/New York*, Phoenix-Mesa, Portland*, Salt Lake City, San Francisco*, and Seattle/Tacoma. Over 500 people are employed by the 28 entities with offices at the airport.
* Denotes seasonal service.
